ShiftAddNet

This is a PyTorch implementation of ShiftAddNet: A Hardware-Inspired Deep Network published on the NeurIPS 2020

Prerequisite

GCC >= 5.4.0
PyTorch == 1.4
Other common library are included in requirements.txt

Compile Adder Cuda Kernal

The original AdderNet Repo considers using PyTorch for implementing add absed convolution, however it remains slow and requires much more runtime memory costs as compared to the variant with CUDA acceleration.

We here provide one kind of CUDA implementation, please follow the intruction below to compile and check that the forwad/backward results are consistent with the original version.

Step 1: modify PyTorch before launch (for solving compiling issue)

Change lines:57-64 in anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/include/THC/THCTensor.hpp from:

#include <THC/generic/THCTensor.hpp>
#include <THC/THCGenerateAllTypes.h>

#include <THC/generic/THCTensor.hpp>
#include <THC/THCGenerateBoolType.h>

#include <THC/generic/THCTensor.hpp>
#include <THC/THCGenerateBFloat16Type.h>

to:

#include <THC/generic/THCTensor.h>
#include <THC/THCGenerateAllTypes.h>

#include <THC/generic/THCTensor.h>
#include <THC/THCGenerateBoolType.h>

#include <THC/generic/THCTensor.h>
#include <THC/THCGenerateBFloat16Type.h>

Step 2: launch command to make sure you can successfully compile

python check.py

You should be able to successfully compile and see the runtime speed comparisons in the toy cases.

Reproduce Results in Paper

We release the pretrained checkpoints in Google Drive. To evaluate the inference accuracy of test set, we provide evaluation scripts shown below for your convenience. If you want to train your own model, the only change should be removing --eval_only option in the commands.

Examples for training of AdderNet

ShiftAddNet on IoT

Please refer to ./IoT directory for detailed description.

T-SNE Visualization

Reproduce the T-SNE visualization of the class divergences in AdderNet, and the proposed ShiftAddNet, using ResNet-20 on CIFAR-10 as an example.

bash ./scripts/gen_feat.sh # generate the features that will be used for visualization

cd tsne_vis &&
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_add_FP32 --scratch
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_add_FIX8 --scratch
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_shiftadd_FP32 --scratch
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_shiftadd_FIX8 --scratch

python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_add_FP32 --scratch --dim_3d
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_add_FIX8 --scratch --dim_3d
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_shiftadd_FP32 --scratch --dim_3d
python visual_tsne.py --save_dir resnet20_shiftadd_FIX8 --scratch --dim_3d

The output figure should look like below:
