Compiled Graph Neural Networks
==============================
:meth:`torch.compile` is the latest method to speed up your :pytorch:`PyTorch` code in :obj:`torch >= 2.0.0`!
:meth:`torch.compile` makes PyTorch code run faster by JIT-compiling it into optimized kernels, all while required minimal code changes.
Under the hood, :meth:`torch.compile` captures :pytorch:`PyTorch` programs via :obj:`TorchDynamo`, canonicalizes over 2,000 :pytorch:`PyTorch` operators via :obj:`PrimTorch`, and finally generates fast code out of it across multiple accelerators and backends via the deep learning compiler :obj:`TorchInductor`.
.. note::
See `here <https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/torch_compile_tutorial.html>`__ for a general tutorial on how to leverage :meth:`torch.compile`, and `here <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.compile.html>`__ for a description of its interface.
In this tutorial, we show how to optimize your custom :pyg:`PyG` model via :meth:`torch.compile`.
.. note::
From :pyg:`PyG` 2.5 (and onwards), :meth:`torch.compile` is now fully compatible with all :pyg:`PyG` GNN layers.
If you are on an earlier version of :pyg:`PyG`, consider using :meth:`torch_geometric.compile` instead.
Basic Usage
-----------
Once you have a :pyg:`PyG` model defined, simply wrap it with :meth:`torch.compile` to obtain its optimized version:
.. code-block:: python
import torch
from torch_geometric.nn import GraphSAGE
model = GraphSAGE(in_channels, hidden_channels, num_layers, out_channels)
model = model.to(device)
model = torch.compile(model)
and execute it as usual:
.. code-block:: python
from torch_geometric.datasets import Planetoid
dataset = Planetoid(root, name="Cora")
data = dataset[0].to(device)
out = model(data.x, data.edge_index)
Maximizing Performance
----------------------
The :meth:`torch.compile` method provides two important arguments to be aware of:
* Most of the mini-batches observed in :pyg:`PyG` are dynamic by nature, meaning that their shape varies across different mini-batches.
For these scenarios, we can enforce dynamic shape tracing in :pytorch:`PyTorch` via the :obj:`dynamic=True` argument:
.. code-block:: python
torch.compile(model, dynamic=True)
With this, :pytorch:`PyTorch` will up-front attempt to generate a kernel that is as dynamic as possible to avoid recompilations when sizes change across mini-batches changes.
Note that when :obj:`dynamic` is set to :obj:`False`, :pytorch:`PyTorch` will *never* generate dynamic kernels, and thus only works when graph sizes are guaranteed to never change (*e.g.*, in full-batch training on small graphs).
By default, :obj:`dynamic` is set to :obj:`None` in :pytorch:`PyTorch` :obj:`>= 2.1.0`, and :pytorch:`PyTorch` will automatically detect if dynamism has occured.
Note that support for dynamic shape tracing requires :pytorch:`PyTorch` :obj:`>= 2.1.0` to be installed.
* In order to maximize speedup, graphs breaks in the compiled model should be limited.
We can force compilation to raise an error upon the first graph break encountered by using the :obj:`fullgraph=True` argument:
.. code-block:: python
torch.compile(model, fullgraph=True)
It is generally a good practice to confirm that your written model does not contain any graph breaks.
Importantly, there exists a few operations in :pyg:`PyG` that will currently lead to graph breaks (but workaround exists), *e.g.*:
1. :meth:`~torch_geometric.nn.pool.global_mean_pool` (and other pooling operators) perform device synchronization in case the batch size :obj:`size` is not passed, leading to a graph break.
2. :meth:`~torch_geometric.utils.remove_self_loops` and :meth:`~torch_geometric.utils.add_remaining_self_loops` mask the given :obj:`edge_index`, leading to a device synchronization to compute its final output shape.
As such, we recommend to augment your graph *before* inputting it into your GNN, *e.g.*, via the :class:`~torch_geometric.transforms.AddSelfLoops` or :class:`~torch_geometric.transforms.GCNNorm` transformations, and setting :obj:`add_self_loops=False`/:obj:`normalize=False` when initializing layers such as :class:`~torch_geometric.nn.conv.GCNConv`.
Exampe Scripts
--------------
We have incorporated multiple examples in :obj:`examples/compile` that further show the practical usage of :meth:`torch.compile`:
#. `Node Classification <https://github.com/pyg-team/pytorch_geometric/blob/master/examples/compile/gcn.py>`__ via :class:`~torch_geometric.nn.models.GCN` (:obj:`dynamic=False`)
#. `Graph Classification <https://github.com/pyg-team/pytorch_geometric/blob/master/examples/compile/gin.py>`__ via :class:`~torch_geometric.nn.models.GIN` (:obj:`dynamic=True`)
If you notice that :meth:`torch.compile` fails for a certain :pyg:`PyG` model, do not hesitate to reach out either on :github:`null` `GitHub <https://github.com/pyg-team/pytorch_geometric/issues>`_ or :slack:`null` `Slack <https://data.pyg.org/slack.html>`_.
We are very eager to improve :meth:`torch.compile` support across the whole :pyg:`PyG` code base.
Benchmark
---------
:meth:`torch.compile` works **fantastically well** for many :pyg:`PyG` models.
**Overall, we observe runtime improvements of nearly up to 300%.**
Specifically, we benchmark :class:`~torch_geometric.nn.models.GCN`, :class:`~torch_geometric.nn.models.GraphSAGE` and :class:`~torch_geometric.nn.models.GIN` and compare runtimes obtained from traditional eager mode and :meth:`torch.compile`.
We use a synthetic graph with 10,000 nodes and 200,000 edges, and a hidden feature dimensionality of 64.
We report runtimes over 500 optimization steps:
