OneFlow

OneFlow is a deep learning framework designed to be user-friendly, scalable and efficient. With OneFlow, it is easy to:

  • program a model with PyTorch-like API
  • scale a model to n-dimensional-parallel/distributed execution with the Global View API
  • accelerate/deploy a model with the Static Graph Compiler.

Install OneFlow

System Requirements

  • Linux. As for now, there is no pre-built release for macOS, Windows.

  • Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10

  • (Highly recommended) Upgrade pip

    python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip #--user

  • CUDA Toolkit Linux x86_64 Driver

    • CUDA runtime is statically linked into OneFlow. OneFlow will work on a minimum supported driver, and any driver beyond. For more information, please refer to CUDA compatibility documentation.

    • Please upgrade your Nvidia driver to version 440.33 or above and install OneFlow for CUDA 10.2 if possible.

Install with Pip Package

  • To install latest stable release of OneFlow with CUDA support:

    python3 -m pip install oneflow

  • To install nightly release of OneFlow with CUDA support:

    python3 -m pip install --pre oneflow -f https://staging.oneflow.info/branch/master/cu102

  • To install other available builds for different variants:

    • Stable 
      python3 -m pip install --find-links https://release.oneflow.info oneflow==0.8.0+[PLATFORM]
    • Nightly 
      python3 -m pip install --pre oneflow -f https://staging.oneflow.info/branch/master/[PLATFORM]
    • All available [PLATFORM]:
      Platform CUDA Driver Version Supported GPUs
      cu112 >= 450.80.02 GTX 10xx, RTX 20xx, A100, RTX 30xx
      cu102 >= 440.33 GTX 10xx, RTX 20xx
      cpu N/A N/A

  • If you are in China, you could run this to have pip download packages from domestic mirror of pypi:

    python3 -m pip config set global.index-url https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

    For more information on this, please refer to pypi 镜像使用帮助

Use docker image

docker pull oneflowinc/oneflow:nightly-cuda10.2
docker pull oneflowinc/oneflow:nightly-cuda11.2

Build from Source

Clone Source Code

  • Option 1: Clone source code from GitHub

    git clone https://github.com/Oneflow-Inc/oneflow --depth=1

  • Option 2: Download from Aliyun

    If you are in China, please download OneFlow source code from: https://oneflow-public.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/oneflow-src.zip

    curl https://oneflow-public.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/oneflow-src.zip -o oneflow-src.zip
unzip oneflow-src.zip
Build OneFlow

  • Option 1: Build with Conda (recommended)

    Please refer to this repo

  • Option 2: Build in docker container (recommended)

    • Pull the docker image:

      docker pull oneflowinc/manylinux2014_x86_64_cuda11.2

    • Follow the instructions in the bare metal build guide below.

  • Option 3: Build on bare metal

    • Install dependencies (not required if you are using docker):

      • on Ubuntu 20.04, run: 
        sudo apt install -y libopenblas-dev nasm g++ gcc python3-pip cmake autoconf libtool
      • on macOS, run: 
        brew install nasm

    • In the root directory of OneFlow source code, run:

      mkdir build
cd build

    • Config the project, inside build directory:

      • If you are in China

        run this to config for CUDA:

        cmake .. -C ../cmake/caches/cn/cuda.cmake

        run this to config for CPU-only:

        cmake .. -C ../cmake/caches/cn/cpu.cmake

      • If you are not in China

        run this to config for CUDA:

        cmake .. -C ../cmake/caches/international/cuda.cmake

        run this to config for CPU-only:

        cmake .. -C ../cmake/caches/international/cpu.cmake

    • Build the project, inside build directory, run:

      make -j$(nproc)

    • Add oneflow to your PYTHONPATH, inside build directory, run:

      source source.sh

      Please note that this change is not permanent.

    • Simple validation

      python3 -m oneflow --doctor

Troubleshooting

Please refer to troubleshooting for common issues you might encounter when compiling and running OneFlow.

Advanced features

  • OneFlow-XRT: An extension for OneFlow to target third-party compiler, such as XLA, TensorRT and OpenVINO etc.
