The intent of this library is that you can write an algorithm in a stylized way and it will be usable with a variety of different `tf.distribute.Strategy` implementations. Each descendant will implement a different strategy for distributing the algorithm across multiple devices/machines. Furthermore, these changes can be hidden inside the specific layers and other library classes that need special treatment to run in a distributed setting, so that most users' model definition code can run unchanged. The `tf.distribute.Strategy` API works the same way with eager and graph execution. *Guides* * [TensorFlow v2.x](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/distributed_training) * [TensorFlow v1.x](https://github.com/tensorflow/docs/blob/master/site/en/r1/guide/distribute_strategy.ipynb) *Tutorials* * [Distributed Training Tutorials](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/) The tutorials cover how to use `tf.distribute.Strategy` to do distributed training with native Keras APIs, custom training loops, and Esitmator APIs. They also cover how to save/load model when using `tf.distribute.Strategy`. *Glossary* * _Data parallelism_ is where we run multiple copies of the model on different slices of the input data. This is in contrast to _model parallelism_ where we divide up a single copy of a model across multiple devices. Note: we only support data parallelism for now, but hope to add support for model parallelism in the future. * A _device_ is a CPU or accelerator (e.g. GPUs, TPUs) on some machine that TensorFlow can run operations on (see e.g. `tf.device`). You may have multiple devices on a single machine, or be connected to devices on multiple machines. Devices used to run computations are called _worker devices_. Devices used to store variables are _parameter devices_. For some strategies, such as `tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy`, the worker and parameter devices will be the same (see mirrored variables below). For others they will be different. For example, `tf.distribute.experimental.CentralStorageStrategy` puts the variables on a single device (which may be a worker device or may be the CPU), and `tf.distribute.experimental.ParameterServerStrategy` puts the variables on separate machines called _parameter servers_ (see below). * A _replica_ is one copy of the model, running on one slice of the input data. Right now each replica is executed on its own worker device, but once we add support for model parallelism a replica may span multiple worker devices. * A _host_ is the CPU device on a machine with worker devices, typically used for running input pipelines. * A _worker_ is defined to be the physical machine(s) containing the physical devices (e.g. GPUs, TPUs) on which the replicated computation is executed. A worker may contain one or more replicas, but contains at least one replica. Typically one worker will correspond to one machine, but in the case of very large models with model parallelism, one worker may span multiple machines. We typically run one input pipeline per worker, feeding all the replicas on that worker. * _Synchronous_, or more commonly _sync_, training is where the updates from each replica are aggregated together before updating the model variables. This is in contrast to _asynchronous_, or _async_ training, where each replica updates the model variables independently. You may also have replicas partitioned into groups which are in sync within each group but async between groups. * _Parameter servers_: These are machines that hold a single copy of parameters/variables, used by some strategies (right now just `tf.distribute.experimental.ParameterServerStrategy`). All replicas that want to operate on a variable retrieve it at the beginning of a step and send an update to be applied at the end of the step. These can in priniciple support either sync or async training, but right now we only have support for async training with parameter servers. Compare to `tf.distribute.experimental.CentralStorageStrategy`, which puts all variables on a single device on the same machine (and does sync training), and `tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy`, which mirrors variables to multiple devices (see below). * _Replica context_ vs. _Cross-replica context_ vs _Update context_ A _replica context_ applies when you execute the computation function that was called with `strategy.run`. Conceptually, you're in replica context when executing the computation function that is being replicated. An _update context_ is entered in a `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.update` call. An _cross-replica context_ is entered when you enter a `strategy.scope`. This is useful for calling `tf.distribute.Strategy` methods which operate across the replicas (like `reduce_to()`). By default you start in a _replica context_ (the "default single _replica context_") and then some methods can switch you back and forth. * _Distributed value_: Distributed value is represented by the base class `tf.distribute.DistributedValues`. `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` is useful to represent values on multiple devices, and it contains a map from replica id to values. Two representative kinds of `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` are "PerReplica" and "Mirrored" values. "PerReplica" values exist on the worker devices, with a different value for each replica. They are produced by iterating through a distributed dataset returned by `tf.distribute.Strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset` and `tf.distribute.Strategy.distribute_datasets_from_function`. They are also the typical result returned by `tf.distribute.Strategy.run`. "Mirrored" values are like "PerReplica" values, except we know that the value on all replicas are the same. We can safely read a "Mirrored" value in a cross-replica context by using the value on any replica. * _Unwrapping_ and _merging_: Consider calling a function `fn` on multiple replicas, like `strategy.run(fn, args=[w])` with an argument `w` that is a `tf.distribute.DistributedValues`. This means `w` will have a map taking replica id `0` to `w0`, replica id `1` to `w1`, etc. `strategy.run()` unwraps `w` before calling `fn`, so it calls `fn(w0)` on device `d0`, `fn(w1)` on device `d1`, etc. It then merges the return values from `fn()`, which leads to one common object if the returned values are the same object from every replica, or a `DistributedValues` object otherwise. * _Reductions_ and _all-reduce_: A _reduction_ is a method of aggregating multiple values into one value, like "sum" or "mean". If a strategy is doing sync training, we will perform a reduction on the gradients to a parameter from all replicas before applying the update. _All-reduce_ is an algorithm for performing a reduction on values from multiple devices and making the result available on all of those devices. * _Mirrored variables_: These are variables that are created on multiple devices, where we keep the variables in sync by applying the same updates to every copy. Mirrored variables are created with `tf.Variable(...synchronization=tf.VariableSynchronization.ON_WRITE...)`. Normally they are only used in synchronous training. * _SyncOnRead variables_ _SyncOnRead variables_ are created by `tf.Variable(...synchronization=tf.VariableSynchronization.ON_READ...)`, and they are created on multiple devices. In replica context, each component variable on the local replica can perform reads and writes without synchronization with each other. When the _SyncOnRead variable_ is read in cross-replica context, the values from component variables are aggregated and returned. _SyncOnRead variables_ bring a lot of custom configuration difficulty to the underlying logic, so we do not encourage users to instantiate and use _SyncOnRead variable_ on their own. We have mainly used _SyncOnRead variables_ for use cases such as batch norm and metrics. For performance reasons, we often don't need to keep these statistics in sync every step and they can be accumulated on each replica independently. The only time we want to sync them is reporting or checkpointing, which typically happens in cross-replica context. _SyncOnRead variables_ are also often used by advanced users who want to control when variable values are aggregated. For example, users sometimes want to maintain gradients independently on each replica for a couple of steps without aggregation. * _Distribute-aware layers_ Layers are generally called in a replica context, except when defining a Keras functional model. `tf.distribute.in_cross_replica_context` will let you determine which case you are in. If in a replica context, the `tf.distribute.get_replica_context` function will return the default replica context outside a strategy scope, `None` within a strategy scope, and a `tf.distribute.ReplicaContext` object inside a strategy scope and within a `tf.distribute.Strategy.run` function. The `ReplicaContext` object has an `all_reduce` method for aggregating across all replicas. Note that we provide a default version of `tf.distribute.Strategy` that is used when no other strategy is in scope, that provides the same API with reasonable default behavior.

See `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended` and [`tf.distribute`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/distribute) for a glossory of concepts mentioned on this page such as "per-replica", _replica_, and _reduce_. In short: * To use it with Keras `compile`/`fit`, [please read](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/distributed_training#using_tfdistributestrategy_with_keras). * You may pass descendant of `tf.distribute.Strategy` to `tf.estimator.RunConfig` to specify how a `tf.estimator.Estimator` should distribute its computation. See [guide](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/distributed_training#using_tfdistributestrategy_with_estimator_limited_support). * Otherwise, use `tf.distribute.Strategy.scope` to specify that a strategy should be used when building an executing your model. (This puts you in the "cross-replica context" for this strategy, which means the strategy is put in control of things like variable placement.) * If you are writing a custom training loop, you will need to call a few more methods, [see the guide](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/distributed_training#using_tfdistributestrategy_with_custom_training_loops): * Start by creating a `tf.data.Dataset` normally. * Use `tf.distribute.Strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset` to convert a `tf.data.Dataset` to something that produces "per-replica" values. If you want to manually specify how the dataset should be partitioned across replicas, use `tf.distribute.Strategy.distribute_datasets_from_function` instead. * Use `tf.distribute.Strategy.run` to run a function once per replica, taking values that may be "per-replica" (e.g. from a `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset` object) and returning "per-replica" values. This function is executed in "replica context", which means each operation is performed separately on each replica. * Finally use a method (such as `tf.distribute.Strategy.reduce`) to convert the resulting "per-replica" values into ordinary `Tensor`s. A custom training loop can be as simple as: ``` with my_strategy.scope(): @tf.function def distribute_train_epoch(dataset): def replica_fn(input): # process input and return result return result total_result = 0 for x in dataset: per_replica_result = my_strategy.run(replica_fn, args=(x,)) total_result += my_strategy.reduce(tf.distribute.ReduceOp.SUM, per_replica_result, axis=None) return total_result dist_dataset = my_strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset(dataset) for _ in range(EPOCHS): train_result = distribute_train_epoch(dist_dataset) ``` This takes an ordinary `dataset` and `replica_fn` and runs it distributed using a particular `tf.distribute.Strategy` named `my_strategy` above. Any variables created in `replica_fn` are created using `my_strategy`'s policy, and library functions called by `replica_fn` can use the `get_replica_context()` API to implement distributed-specific behavior. You can use the `reduce` API to aggregate results across replicas and use this as a return value from one iteration over a `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset`. Or you can use `tf.keras.metrics` (such as loss, accuracy, etc.) to accumulate metrics across steps in a given epoch. See the [custom training loop tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/custom_training) for a more detailed example.

This is done using a custom `tf.variable_creator_scope`. * In some strategies, a default device scope may also be entered: in `MultiWorkerMiroredStrategy`, a default device scope of "/CPU:0" is entered on each worker. Note: Entering a scope does not automatically distribute a computation, except in the case of high level training framework like keras `model.fit`. If you're not using `model.fit`, you need to use `strategy.run` API to explicitly distribute that computation. See an example in the [custom training loop tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/custom_training). _What should be in scope and what should be outside?_ There are a number of requirements on what needs to happen inside the scope. However, in places where we have information about which strategy is in use, we often enter the scope for the user, so they don't have to do it explicitly (i.e. calling those either inside or outside the scope is OK). * Anything that creates variables that should be distributed variables must be in `strategy.scope`. This can be either by directly putting it in scope, or relying on another API like `strategy.run` or `model.fit` to enter it for you. Any variable that is created outside scope will not be distributed and may have performance implications. Common things that create variables in TF: models, optimizers, metrics. These should always be created inside the scope. Another source of variable creation can be a checkpoint restore - when variables are created lazily. Note that any variable created inside a strategy captures the strategy information. So reading and writing to these variables outside the `strategy.scope` can also work seamlessly, without the user having to enter the scope. * Some strategy APIs (such as `strategy.run` and `strategy.reduce`) which require to be in a strategy's scope, enter the scope for you automatically, which means when using those APIs you don't need to enter the scope yourself. * When a `tf.keras.Model` is created inside a `strategy.scope`, we capture this information. When high level training frameworks methods such as `model.compile`, `model.fit` etc are then called on this model, we automatically enter the scope, as well as use this strategy to distribute the training etc. See detailed example in [distributed keras tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/keras). Note that simply calling the `model(..)` is not impacted - only high level training framework APIs are. `model.compile`, `model.fit`, `model.evaluate`, `model.predict` and `model.save` can all be called inside or outside the scope. * The following can be either inside or outside the scope: * Creating the input datasets * Defining `tf.function`s that represent your training step * Saving APIs such as `tf.saved_model.save`. Loading creates variables, so that should go inside the scope if you want to train the model in a distributed way. * Checkpoint saving. As mentioned above - `checkpoint.restore` may sometimes need to be inside scope if it creates variables. Returns: A context manager.

The returned `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset` can be iterated over similar to regular datasets. NOTE: The user cannot add any more transformations to a `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset`. You can only create an iterator or examine the `tf.TypeSpec` of the data generated by it. See API docs of `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset` to learn more. The following is an example: >>> global_batch_size = 2 >>> # Passing the devices is optional. ... strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy(devices=["GPU:0", "GPU:1"]) >>> # Create a dataset ... dataset = tf.data.Dataset.range(4).batch(global_batch_size) >>> # Distribute that dataset ... dist_dataset = strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset(dataset) >>> @tf.function ... def replica_fn(input): ... return input*2 >>> result = [] >>> # Iterate over the `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset` ... for x in dist_dataset: ... # process dataset elements ... result.append(strategy.run(replica_fn, args=(x,))) >>> print(result) [PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([0])>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([2])> }, PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([4])>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([6])> }] Three key actions happending under the hood of this method are batching, sharding, and prefetching. In the code snippet above, `dataset` is batched by `global_batch_size`, and calling `experimental_distribute_dataset` on it rebatches `dataset` to a new batch size that is equal to the global batch size divided by the number of replicas in sync. We iterate through it using a Pythonic for loop. `x` is a `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` containing data for all replicas, and each replica gets data of the new batch size. `tf.distribute.Strategy.run` will take care of feeding the right per-replica data in `x` to the right `replica_fn` executed on each replica. Sharding contains autosharding across multiple workers and within every worker. First, in multi-worker distributed training (i.e. when you use `tf.distribute.experimental.MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy` or `tf.distribute.TPUStrategy`), autosharding a dataset over a set of workers means that each worker is assigned a subset of the entire dataset (if the right `tf.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy` is set). This is to ensure that at each step, a global batch size of non-overlapping dataset elements will be processed by each worker. Autosharding has a couple of different options that can be specified using `tf.data.experimental.DistributeOptions`. Then, sharding within each worker means the method will split the data among all the worker devices (if more than one a present). This will happen regardless of multi-worker autosharding. Note: for autosharding across multiple workers, the default mode is `tf.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy.AUTO`. This mode will attempt to shard the input dataset by files if the dataset is being created out of reader datasets (e.g. `tf.data.TFRecordDataset`, `tf.data.TextLineDataset`, etc.) or otherwise shard the dataset by data, where each of the workers will read the entire dataset and only process the shard assigned to it. However, if you have less than one input file per worker, we suggest that you disable dataset autosharding across workers by setting the `tf.data.experimental.DistributeOptions.auto_shard_policy` to be `tf.data.experimental.AutoShardPolicy.OFF`. By default, this method adds a prefetch transformation at the end of the user provided `tf.data.Dataset` instance. The argument to the prefetch transformation which is `buffer_size` is equal to the number of replicas in sync. If the above batch splitting and dataset sharding logic is undesirable, please use `tf.distribute.Strategy.distribute_datasets_from_function` instead, which does not do any automatic batching or sharding for you. Note: If you are using TPUStrategy, the order in which the data is processed by the workers when using `tf.distribute.Strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset` or `tf.distribute.Strategy.distribute_datasets_from_function` is not guaranteed. This is typically required if you are using `tf.distribute` to scale prediction. You can however insert an index for each element in the batch and order outputs accordingly. Refer to [this snippet](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/input#caveats) for an example of how to order outputs. Note: Stateful dataset transformations are currently not supported with `tf.distribute.experimental_distribute_dataset` or `tf.distribute.distribute_datasets_from_function`. Any stateful ops that the dataset may have are currently ignored. For example, if your dataset has a `map_fn` that uses `tf.random.uniform` to rotate an image, then you have a dataset graph that depends on state (i.e the random seed) on the local machine where the python process is being executed. For a tutorial on more usage and properties of this method, refer to the [tutorial on distributed input](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/input#tfdistributestrategyexperimental_distribute_dataset). If you are interested in last partial batch handling, read [this section](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/distribute/input#partial_batches).

The argument `dataset_fn` that users pass in is an input function that has a `tf.distribute.InputContext` argument and returns a `tf.data.Dataset` instance. It is expected that the returned dataset from `dataset_fn` is already batched by per-replica batch size (i.e. global batch size divided by the number of replicas in sync) and sharded. `tf.distribute.Strategy.distribute_datasets_from_function` does not batch or shard the `tf.data.Dataset` instance returned from the input function. `dataset_fn` will be called on the CPU device of each of the workers and each generates a dataset where every replica on that worker will dequeue one batch of inputs (i.e. if a worker has two replicas, two batches will be dequeued from the `Dataset` every step). This method can be used for several purposes. First, it allows you to specify your own batching and sharding logic. (In contrast, `tf.distribute.experimental_distribute_dataset` does batching and sharding for you.) For example, where `experimental_distribute_dataset` is unable to shard the input files, this method might be used to manually shard the dataset (avoiding the slow fallback behavior in `experimental_distribute_dataset`). In cases where the dataset is infinite, this sharding can be done by creating dataset replicas that differ only in their random seed. The `dataset_fn` should take an `tf.distribute.InputContext` instance where information about batching and input replication can be accessed. You can use `element_spec` property of the `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset` returned by this API to query the `tf.TypeSpec` of the elements returned by the iterator. This can be used to set the `input_signature` property of a `tf.function`. Follow `tf.distribute.DistributedDataset.element_spec` to see an example. IMPORTANT: The `tf.data.Dataset` returned by `dataset_fn` should have a per-replica batch size, unlike `experimental_distribute_dataset`, which uses the global batch size. This may be computed using `input_context.get_per_replica_batch_size`. Note: If you are using TPUStrategy, the order in which the data is processed by the workers when using `tf.distribute.Strategy.experimental_distribute_dataset` or `tf.distribute.Strategy.distribute_datasets_from_function` is not guaranteed.

Please see the module-level docstring of tf.distribute for the concept of replica context.

IMPORTANT: Depending on the implementation of `tf.distribute.Strategy` and whether eager execution is enabled, `fn` may be called one or more times. If `fn` is annotated with `tf.function` or `tf.distribute.Strategy.run` is called inside a `tf.function` (eager execution is disabled inside a `tf.function` by default), `fn` is called once per replica to generate a Tensorflow graph, which will then be reused for execution with new inputs. Otherwise, if eager execution is enabled, `fn` will be called once per replica every step just like regular python code. Example usage: 1.

Note: The result is copied to the "current" device - which would typically be the CPU of the worker on which the program is running. For `TPUStrategy`, it is the first TPU host. For multi client `MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy`, this is CPU of each worker. There are a number of different tf.distribute APIs for reducing values across replicas: * `tf.distribute.ReplicaContext.all_reduce`: This differs from `Strategy.reduce` in that it is for replica context and does not copy the results to the host device. `all_reduce` should be typically used for reductions inside the training step such as gradients. * `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.reduce_to` and `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.batch_reduce_to`: These APIs are more advanced versions of `Strategy.reduce` as they allow customizing the destination of the result. They are also called in cross replica context. _What should axis be?_ Given a per-replica value returned by `run`, say a per-example loss, the batch will be divided across all the replicas. This function allows you to aggregate across replicas and optionally also across batch elements by specifying the axis parameter accordingly. For example, if you have a global batch size of 8 and 2 replicas, values for examples `[0, 1, 2, 3]` will be on replica 0 and `[4, 5, 6, 7]` will be on replica 1. With `axis=None`, `reduce` will aggregate only across replicas, returning `[0+4, 1+5, 2+6, 3+7]`. This is useful when each replica is computing a scalar or some other value that doesn't have a "batch" dimension (like a gradient or loss). ``` strategy.reduce("sum", per_replica_result, axis=None) ``` Sometimes, you will want to aggregate across both the global batch _and_ all replicas. You can get this behavior by specifying the batch dimension as the `axis`, typically `axis=0`. In this case it would return a scalar `0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7`. ``` strategy.reduce("sum", per_replica_result, axis=0) ``` If there is a last partial batch, you will need to specify an axis so that the resulting shape is consistent across replicas. So if the last batch has size 6 and it is divided into [0, 1, 2, 3] and [4, 5], you would get a shape mismatch unless you specify `axis=0`. If you specify `tf.distribute.ReduceOp.MEAN`, using `axis=0` will use the correct denominator of 6. Contrast this with computing `reduce_mean` to get a scalar value on each replica and this function to average those means, which will weigh some values `1/8` and others `1/4`. Args: reduce_op: a `tf.distribute.ReduceOp` value specifying how values should be combined. Allows using string representation of the enum such as "SUM", "MEAN". value: a `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` instance, e.g. returned by `Strategy.run`, to be combined into a single tensor. It can also be a regular tensor when used with `OneDeviceStrategy` or default strategy. axis: specifies the dimension to reduce along within each replica's tensor. Should typically be set to the batch dimension, or `None` to only reduce across replicas (e.g. if the tensor has no batch dimension). Returns: A `Tensor`.

Note: For most usage of `tf.distribute.Strategy`, there should be no need to call these methods, since TensorFlow libraries (such as optimizers) already call these methods when needed on your behalf. Some common use cases of functions on this page: * _Locality_ `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` can have the same _locality_ as a _distributed variable_, which leads to a mirrored value residing on the same devices as the variable (as opposed to the compute devices). Such values may be passed to a call to `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.update` to update the value of a variable. You may use `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.colocate_vars_with` to give a variable the same locality as another variable. You may convert a "PerReplica" value to a variable's locality by using `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.reduce_to` or `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.batch_reduce_to`. * _How to update a distributed variable_ A distributed variable is variables created on multiple devices. As discussed in the [glossary](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/distribute), mirrored variable and SyncOnRead variable are two examples. The standard pattern for updating distributed variables is to: 1. In your function passed to `tf.distribute.Strategy.run`, compute a list of (update, variable) pairs. For example, the update might be a gradient of the loss with respect to the variable. 2. Switch to cross-replica mode by calling `tf.distribute.get_replica_context().merge_call()` with the updates and variables as arguments. 3. Call `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.reduce_to(VariableAggregation.SUM, t, v)` (for one variable) or `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.batch_reduce_to` (for a list of variables) to sum the updates. 4. Call `tf.distribute.StrategyExtended.update(v)` for each variable to update its value. Steps 2 through 4 are done automatically by class `tf.keras.optimizers.Optimizer` if you call its `tf.keras.optimizers.Optimizer.apply_gradients` method in a replica context. In fact, a higher-level solution to update a distributed variable is by calling `assign` on the variable as you would do to a regular `tf.Variable`. You can call the method in both _replica context_ and _cross-replica context_. For a _mirrored variable_, calling `assign` in _replica context_ requires you to specify the `aggregation` type in the variable constructor. In that case, the context switching and sync described in steps 2 through 4 are handled for you. If you call `assign` on _mirrored variable_ in _cross-replica context_, you can only assign a single value or assign values from another mirrored variable or a mirrored `tf.distribute.DistributedValues`. For a _SyncOnRead variable_, in _replica context_, you can simply call `assign` on it and no aggregation happens under the hood. In _cross-replica context_, you can only assign a single value to a SyncOnRead variable. One example case is restoring from a checkpoint: if the `aggregation` type of the variable is `tf.VariableAggregation.SUM`, it is assumed that replica values were added before checkpointing, so at the time of restoring, the value is divided by the number of replicas and then assigned to each replica; if the `aggregation` type is `tf.VariableAggregation.MEAN`, the value is assigned to each replica directly.

You can pass in a single tensor to all-gather: >>> strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy(["GPU:0", "GPU:1"]) >>> @tf.function ... def gather_value(): ... ctx = tf.distribute.get_replica_context() ... local_value = tf.constant([1, 2, 3]) ... return ctx.all_gather(local_value, axis=0) >>> result = strategy.run(gather_value) >>> result PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)> } >>> strategy.experimental_local_results(result) (<tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)>, <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)>) You can also pass in a nested structure of tensors to all-gather, say, a list: >>> strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy(["GPU:0", "GPU:1"]) >>> @tf.function ... def gather_nest(): ... ctx = tf.distribute.get_replica_context() ... value_1 = tf.constant([1, 2, 3]) ... value_2 = tf.constant([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) ... # all_gather a nest of `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` ... return ctx.all_gather([value_1, value_2], axis=0) >>> result = strategy.run(gather_nest) >>> result [PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)> }, PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 2), dtype=int32, numpy= array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=int32)>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 2), dtype=int32, numpy= array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=int32)> }] >>> strategy.experimental_local_results(result) ([PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], dtype=int32)> }, PerReplica:{ 0: <tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 2), dtype=int32, numpy= array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=int32)>, 1: <tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 2), dtype=int32, numpy= array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=int32)> }],) What if you are all-gathering tensors with different shapes on different replicas? Consider the following example with two replicas, where you have `value` as a nested structure consisting of two items to all-gather, `a` and `b`. On Replica 0, `value` is {'a': [0], 'b': [[0, 1]]} On Replica 1, `value` is {'a': [1], 'b': [[2, 3], [4, 5]]} Result for `all_gather` with `axis`=0: (on each of the replicas): {'a': [1, 2], 'b': [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5]]} Args: value: a nested structure of `tf.Tensor` which `tf.nest.flatten` accepts, or a `tf.distribute.DistributedValues` instance. The structure of the `tf.Tensor` need to be same on all replicas. The underlying tensor constructs can only be dense tensors with non-zero rank, NOT `tf.IndexedSlices`. axis: 0-D int32 Tensor. Dimension along which to gather. options: a `tf.distribute.experimental.CommunicationOptions`. Options to perform collective operations. This overrides the default options if the `tf.distribute.Strategy` takes one in the constructor. See `tf.distribute.experimental.CommunicationOptions` for details of the options. Returns: A nested structure of `tf.Tensor` with the gathered values. The structure is the same as `value`.
