ot.backend

Multi-lib backend for POT

The goal is to write backend-agnostic code. Whether you’re using Numpy, PyTorch, Jax, Cupy, or Tensorflow, POT code should work nonetheless. To achieve that, POT provides backend classes which implements functions in their respective backend imitating Numpy API. As a convention, we use nx instead of np to refer to the backend.

Examples

>>> from ot.utils import list_to_array
>>> from ot.backend import get_backend
>>> def f(a, b):  # the function does not know which backend to use
...     a, b = list_to_array(a, b)  # if a list in given, make it an array
...     nx = get_backend(a, b)  # infer the backend from the arguments
...     c = nx.dot(a, b)  # now use the backend to do any calculation
...     return c

Warning

Tensorflow only works with the Numpy API. To activate it, please run the following:

from tensorflow.python.ops.numpy_ops import np_config
np_config.enable_numpy_behavior()

Functions

ot.backend.get_available_backend_implementations()

Returns the list of available backend implementations.

ot.backend.get_backend(*args)

Returns the proper backend for a list of input arrays

Accepts None entries in the arguments, and ignores them

Also raises TypeError if all arrays are not from the same backend

ot.backend.get_backend_list()

Returns instances of all available backends.

Note that the function forces all detected implementations to be instantiated even if specific backend was not use before. Be careful as instantiation of the backend might lead to side effects, like GPU memory pre-allocation. See the documentation for more details. If you only need to know which implementations are available, use :py:func:`ot.backend.get_available_backend_implementations, which does not force instance of the backend object to be created.

zeros(shape, type_as=None)

Creates a tensor full of zeros.

This function follows the api from numpy.zeros

See: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.zeros.html

ot.backend.get_available_backend_implementations()

Returns the list of available backend implementations.

ot.backend.get_backend(*args)

Returns the proper backend for a list of input arrays

Accepts None entries in the arguments, and ignores them

Also raises TypeError if all arrays are not from the same backend

ot.backend.get_backend_list()

Returns instances of all available backends.

Note that the function forces all detected implementations to be instantiated even if specific backend was not use before. Be careful as instantiation of the backend might lead to side effects, like GPU memory pre-allocation. See the documentation for more details. If you only need to know which implementations are available, use :py:func:`ot.backend.get_available_backend_implementations, which does not force instance of the backend object to be created.

ot.backend.to_numpy(*args)

Returns numpy arrays from any compatible backend
