C++ Implementation of PyTorch Tutorials for Everyone

Nov 28, 2020 | Data Science


Table of Contents

Getting Started

This repository provides tutorial code in C++ for deep learning researchers to learn PyTorch. To get started, ensure you have the necessary requirements:

  1. C++-17 compatible compiler
  2. CMake (minimum version 3.19)
  3. LibTorch version 2.3.0
  4. Conda

For Interactive Tutorials

Note: Interactive Tutorials are currently running on LibTorch Nightly Version. Some tutorials may not function properly with this version.

Set up your interactive environment using:

bash
conda create --name pytorch-cpp
conda activate pytorch-cpp
conda install xeus-cling notebook -c conda-forge

Clone, Build and Run Tutorials

Follow these steps to clone, build, and run the tutorials:

On Local Machine

First, clone the repository:

bash
git clone https://github.com/prabhuomkar/pytorch-cpp.git
cd pytorch-cpp

Next, generate the build system:

bash
cmake -B build

Important Note for Windows Users:

LibTorch only supports 64-bit Windows. For Visual Studio, append -A x64 to the command above.

Run All Tutorials

bash
cmake --build build

Run a Specific Tutorial

The executable name is determined by the folder name of the tutorial, replacing all underscores with hyphens. For example:

Change to the tutorials directory and run:

bash
cd build/tutorials/basics/pytorch_basics
./pytorch-basics

Using Docker

If you prefer using Docker, follow these steps:

Build the Docker image:

bash
docker-compose build --build-arg USER_ID=$(id -u) --build-arg GROUP_ID=$(id -g)

Then run the container and build the tutorials:

bash
docker-compose run --rm pytorch-cpp

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Make sure all dependencies are correctly installed.
  • Double-check your CMake version and compatibility.
  • If using Docker, verify that the container has internet access to download dependencies.
  • For interactive tutorials, ensure you’re using the correct version of LibTorch.
