我正在使用numbas @jit
装饰器在python中添加两个numpy数组。如果我使用@jit
与python
相比,则效果非常高。
然而,即使我传入@numba.jit(nopython = True, parallel = True, nogil = True)
,也没有使用所有CPU内核。
有没有办法使用所有带有numba @jit
的CPU内核。
这是我的代码:
import time
import numpy as np
import numba
SIZE = 2147483648 * 6
a = np.full(SIZE, 1, dtype = np.int32)
b = np.full(SIZE, 1, dtype = np.int32)
c = np.ndarray(SIZE, dtype = np.int32)
@numba.jit(nopython = True, parallel = True, nogil = True)
def add(a, b, c):
for i in range(SIZE):
c[i] = a[i] + b[i]
start = time.time()
add(a, b, c)
end = time.time()
print(end - start)
答案 0 :(得分:11)
您可以将parallel=True
传递给任何numba jitted函数,但这并不意味着它总是使用所有核心。您必须了解numba使用一些启发式方法来使代码并行执行,有时这些启发式方法根本找不到任何在代码中并行化的内容。目前有一个pull request,因此如果无法使其“并行”,则会发出警告。所以它更像是“请尽可能并行执行”参数而不是“强制并行执行”。
但是,如果您确实知道可以并行化代码,则可以始终手动使用线程或进程。只需调整example of using multi-threading from the numba docs:
#!/usr/bin/env python

# Make sure the function is compiled before we start the benchmark
res = func(*args, **kwargs)
if correct is not None:
assert np.allclose(res, correct), (res, correct)

return res

args = (result,) + args
chunklen = (length + numthreads - 1) // numthreads
# Create argument tuples for each input chunk
chunks = [[arg[i * chunklen:(i + 1) * chunklen] for arg in args]
for i in range(numthreads)]
# Spawn one thread per chunk
threads = [threading.Thread(target=inner_func, args=chunk)
for chunk in chunks]
for thread in threads:
thread.start()
for thread in threads:
thread.join()
return result
return func_mt
func_nb = make_singlethread(inner_func_nb)
func_nb_mt = make_multithread(inner_func_nb, nthreads)
a = np.random.rand(size)
b = np.random.rand(size)
correct = timefunc(None, "numpy (1 thread)", func_np, a, b)
timefunc(correct, "numba (1 thread)", func_nb, a, b)

我突出显示了我更改的部分,其他所有内容都是从示例中逐字复制的。这利用了我机器上的所有核心(4核心机器因此4个线程),但没有显示出显着的加速:
numpy (1 thread) 539 ms
numba (1 thread) 536 ms
numba (4 threads) 442 ms
在这种情况下,多线程缺乏(很多)加速是加法是带宽限制的操作。这意味着从数组加载元素并将结果放在结果数组中需要花费更多的时间而不是实际添加。
在这些情况下,您甚至可以看到由于并行执行而导致速度下降!
只有当函数更复杂并且实际操作与加载和存储数组元素相比需要大量时间时,您才会看到并行执行会有很大改进。 numba文档中的示例是这样的:
def func_np(a, b):
"""
Control function using Numpy.
"""
return np.exp(2.1 * a + 3.2 * b)
@jit('void(double[:], double[:], double[:])', nopython=True, nogil=True)
def inner_func_nb(result, a, b):
"""
Function under test.
"""
for i in range(len(result)):
result[i] = math.exp(2.1 * a[i] + 3.2 * b[i])
这实际上(几乎)与线程数一起扩展,因为两次乘法,一次加法和一次math.exp
调用比加载和存储结果慢得多:
func_nb = make_singlethread(inner_func_nb)
func_nb_mt2 = make_multithread(inner_func_nb, 2)
func_nb_mt3 = make_multithread(inner_func_nb, 3)
func_nb_mt4 = make_multithread(inner_func_nb, 4)
a = np.random.rand(size)
b = np.random.rand(size)
correct = timefunc(None, "numpy (1 thread)", func_np, a, b)
timefunc(correct, "numba (1 thread)", func_nb, a, b)
timefunc(correct, "numba (2 threads)", func_nb_mt2, a, b)
timefunc(correct, "numba (3 threads)", func_nb_mt3, a, b)
timefunc(correct, "numba (4 threads)", func_nb_mt4, a, b)
结果:
numpy (1 thread) 3422 ms
numba (1 thread) 2959 ms
numba (2 threads) 1555 ms
numba (3 threads) 1080 ms
numba (4 threads) 797 ms
答案 1 :(得分:4)
出于完整性考虑,在2018年(numba v 0.39)中,您可以这样做
from numba import prange
然后在原始函数定义中将range
替换为prange
。
这立即使CPU利用率达到100%,在我的情况下,运行时间从2.9秒提高到1.7秒(对于SIZE = 2147483648 * 1,在具有16个核32个线程的计算机上)。
更复杂的内核通常可以通过传入fastmath=True
来提高速度。
