(experimental) Static Quantization with Eager Mode in PyTorch

Author: Raghuraman Krishnamoorthi <https://github.com/raghuramank100>_

Edited by: Seth Weidman <https://github.com/SethHWeidman/>_

This tutorial shows how to do post-training static quantization, as well as illustrating
two more advanced techniques - per-channel quantization and quantization-aware training -
to further improve the model’s accuracy. Note that quantization is currently only supported
for CPUs, so we will not be utilizing GPUs / CUDA in this tutorial.

By the end of this tutorial, you will see how quantization in PyTorch can result in
significant decreases in model size while increasing speed. Furthermore, you’ll see how
to easily apply some advanced quantization techniques shown
here <https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.08342>_ so that your quantized models take much less
of an accuracy hit than they would otherwise.

Warning: we use a lot of boilerplate code from other PyTorch repos to, for example,
define the MobileNetV2 model archtecture, define data loaders, and so on. We of course
encourage you to read it; but if you want to get to the quantization features, feel free
to skip to the “4. Post-training static quantization” section.

We’ll start by doing the necessary imports:

  1. Model architecture

We first define the MobileNetV2 model architecture, with several notable modifications
to enable quantization:

  • Replacing addition with nn.quantized.FloatFunctional
  • Insert QuantStub and DeQuantStub at the beginning and end of the network.
  • Replace ReLU6 with ReLU

Note: this code is taken from
here <https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/master/torchvision/models/mobilenet.py>_.

  1. Helper functions

We next define several helper functions to help with model evaluation. These mostly come from
here <https://github.com/pytorch/examples/blob/master/imagenet/main.py>_.

class AverageMeter(object):
    """Computes and stores the average and current value"""
    def __init__(self, name, fmt=':f'):
        self.name = name
        self.fmt = fmt
        self.reset()

    def reset(self):
        self.val = 0
        self.avg = 0
        self.sum = 0
        self.count = 0

    def update(self, val, n=1):
        self.val = val
        self.sum += val * n
        self.count += n
        self.avg = self.sum / self.count

    def __str__(self):
        fmtstr = '{name} {val' + self.fmt + '} ({avg' + self.fmt + '})'
        return fmtstr.format(**self.__dict__)


def accuracy(output, target, topk=(1,)):
    """Computes the accuracy over the k top predictions for the specified values of k"""
    with torch.no_grad():
        maxk = max(topk)
        batch_size = target.size(0)

        _, pred = output.topk(maxk, 1, True, True)
        pred = pred.t()
        correct = pred.eq(target.view(1, -1).expand_as(pred))

        res = []
        for k in topk:
            correct_k = correct[:k].view(-1).float().sum(0, keepdim=True)
            res.append(correct_k.mul_(100.0 / batch_size))
        return res


def evaluate(model, criterion, data_loader, neval_batches):
    model.eval()
    top1 = AverageMeter('Acc@1', ':6.2f')
    top5 = AverageMeter('Acc@5', ':6.2f')
    cnt = 0
    with torch.no_grad():
        for image, target in data_loader:
            output = model(image)
            loss = criterion(output, target)
            cnt += 1
            acc1, acc5 = accuracy(output, target, topk=(1, 5))
            print('.', end = '')
            top1.update(acc1[0], image.size(0))
            top5.update(acc5[0], image.size(0))
            if cnt >= neval_batches:
                 return top1, top5

    return top1, top5

def load_model(model_file):
    model = MobileNetV2()
    state_dict = torch.load(model_file)
    model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
    model.to('cpu')
    return model

def print_size_of_model(model):
    torch.save(model.state_dict(), "temp.p")
    print('Size (MB):', os.path.getsize("temp.p")/1e6)
    os.remove('temp.p')
  1. Define dataset and data loaders

As our last major setup step, we define our dataloaders for our training and testing set.

ImageNet Data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The specific dataset we’ve created for this tutorial contains just 1000 images from the ImageNet data, one from
each class (this dataset, at just over 250 MB, is small enough that it can be downloaded
relatively easily). The URL for this custom dataset is:

… code::

https://s3.amazonaws.com/pytorch-tutorial-assets/imagenet_1k.zip

To download this data locally using Python, you could use:

… code:: python

import requests

url = 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/pytorch-tutorial-assets/imagenet_1k.zip`
filename = '~/Downloads/imagenet_1k_data.zip'

r = requests.get(url)

with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
    f.write(r.content)

For this tutorial to run, we download this data and move it to the right place using
these lines <https://github.com/pytorch/tutorials/blob/master/Makefile#L97-L98>_
from the Makefile <https://github.com/pytorch/tutorials/blob/master/Makefile>_.

To run the code in this tutorial using the entire ImageNet dataset, on the other hand, you could download
the data using torchvision following
here <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/torchvision/datasets.html#imagenet>_. For example,
to download the training set and apply some standard transformations to it, you could use:

… code:: python

import torchvision
import torchvision.transforms as transforms

imagenet_dataset = torchvision.datasets.ImageNet(
    '~/.data/imagenet',
    split='train',
    download=True,
    transforms.Compose([
        transforms.RandomResizedCrop(224),
        transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
        transforms.ToTensor(),
        transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                             std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
    ])

With the data downloaded, we show functions below that define dataloaders we’ll use to read
in this data. These functions mostly come from
here <https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/master/references/detection/train.py>_.

def prepare_data_loaders(data_path):

    traindir = os.path.join(data_path, 'train')
    valdir = os.path.join(data_path, 'val')
    normalize = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                                     std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])

    dataset = torchvision.datasets.ImageFolder(
        traindir,
        transforms.Compose([
            transforms.RandomResizedCrop(224),
            transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
            transforms.ToTensor(),
            normalize,
        ]))

    dataset_test = torchvision.datasets.ImageFolder(
        valdir,
        transforms.Compose([
            transforms.Resize(256),
            transforms.CenterCrop(224),
            transforms.ToTensor(),
            normalize,
        ]))

    train_sampler = torch.utils.data.RandomSampler(dataset)
    test_sampler = torch.utils.data.SequentialSampler(dataset_test)

    data_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset, batch_size=train_batch_size,
        sampler=train_sampler)

    data_loader_test = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        dataset_test, batch_size=eval_batch_size,
        sampler=test_sampler)

    return data_loader, data_loader_test

Next, we’ll load in the pre-trained MobileNetV2 model. We provide the URL to download the data from in torchvision
here <https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/master/torchvision/models/mobilenet.py#L9>_.

data_path = 'data/imagenet_1k'
saved_model_dir = 'data/'
float_model_file = 'mobilenet_pretrained_float.pth'
scripted_float_model_file = 'mobilenet_quantization_scripted.pth'
scripted_quantized_model_file = 'mobilenet_quantization_scripted_quantized.pth'

train_batch_size = 30
eval_batch_size = 30

data_loader, data_loader_test = prepare_data_loaders(data_path)
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
float_model = load_model(saved_model_dir + float_model_file).to('cpu')

Next, we’ll “fuse modules”; this can both make the model faster by saving on memory access
while also improving numerical accuracy. While this can be used with any model, this is
especially common with quantized models.

print('\n Inverted Residual Block: Before fusion \n\n', float_model.features[1].conv)
float_model.eval()

# Fuses modules
float_model.fuse_model()

# Note fusion of Conv+BN+Relu and Conv+Relu
print('\n Inverted Residual Block: After fusion\n\n',float_model.features[1].conv)
 Inverted Residual Block: Before fusion 

 Sequential(
  (0): ConvBNReLU(
    (0): Conv2d(32, 32, kernel_size=(3, 3), stride=(1, 1), padding=(1, 1), groups=32, bias=False)
    (1): BatchNorm2d(32, eps=1e-05, momentum=0.1, affine=True, track_running_stats=True)
    (2): ReLU()
  )
  (1): Conv2d(32, 16, kernel_size=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False)
  (2): BatchNorm2d(16, eps=1e-05, momentum=0.1, affine=True, track_running_stats=True)
)

 Inverted Residual Block: After fusion

 Sequential(
  (0): ConvBNReLU(
    (0): ConvReLU2d(
      (0): Conv2d(32, 32, kernel_size=(3, 3), stride=(1, 1), padding=(1, 1), groups=32)
      (1): ReLU()
    )
    (1): Identity()
    (2): Identity()
  )
  (1): Conv2d(32, 16, kernel_size=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1))
  (2): Identity()
)

Finally to get a “baseline” accuracy, let’s see the accuracy of our un-quantized model
with fused modules

num_eval_batches = 10

print("Size of baseline model")
print_size_of_model(float_model)

top1, top5 = evaluate(float_model, criterion, data_loader_test, neval_batches=num_eval_batches)
print('Evaluation accuracy on %d images, %2.2f'%(num_eval_batches * eval_batch_size, top1.avg))
torch.jit.save(torch.jit.script(float_model), saved_model_dir + scripted_float_model_file)
Size of baseline model
Size (MB): 13.981375
..........Evaluation accuracy on 300 images, 78.00

We see 78% accuracy on 300 images, a solid baseline for ImageNet,
especially considering our model is just 14.0 MB.

This will be our baseline to compare to. Next, let’s try different quantization methods

  1. Post-training static quantization

Post-training static quantization involves not just converting the weights from float to int,
as in dynamic quantization, but also performing the additional step of first feeding batches
of data through the network and computing the resulting distributions of the different activations
(specifically, this is done by inserting observer modules at different points that record this
data). These distributions are then used to determine how the specifically the different activations
should be quantized at inference time (a simple technique would be to simply divide the entire range
of activations into 256 levels, but we support more sophisticated methods as well). Importantly,
this additional step allows us to pass quantized values between operations instead of converting these
values to floats - and then back to ints - between every operation, resulting in a significant speed-up.

num_calibration_batches = 10

myModel = load_model(saved_model_dir + float_model_file).to('cpu')
myModel.eval()

# Fuse Conv, bn and relu
myModel.fuse_model()

# Specify quantization configuration
# Start with simple min/max range estimation and per-tensor quantization of weights
myModel.qconfig = torch.quantization.default_qconfig
print(myModel.qconfig)
torch.quantization.prepare(myModel, inplace=True)

# Calibrate first
print('Post Training Quantization Prepare: Inserting Observers')
print('\n Inverted Residual Block:After observer insertion \n\n', myModel.features[1].conv)

# Calibrate with the training set
evaluate(myModel, criterion, data_loader, neval_batches=num_calibration_batches)
print('Post Training Quantization: Calibration done')

# Convert to quantized model
torch.quantization.convert(myModel, inplace=True)
print('Post Training Quantization: Convert done')
print('\n Inverted Residual Block: After fusion and quantization, note fused modules: \n\n',myModel.features[1].conv)

print("Size of model after quantization")
print_size_of_model(myModel)

top1, top5 = evaluate(myModel, criterion, data_loader_test, neval_batches=num_eval_batches)
print('Evaluation accuracy on %d images, %2.2f'%(num_eval_batches * eval_batch_size, top1.avg))
QConfig(activation=functools.partial(<class 'torch.quantization.observer.MinMaxObserver'>, reduce_range=True), weight=functools.partial(<class 'torch.quantization.observer.MinMaxObserver'>, dtype=torch.qint8, qscheme=torch.per_tensor_symmetric))

..........Evaluation accuracy on 300 images, 62.67

For this quantized model, we see a significantly lower accuracy of just ~62% on these same 300
images. Nevertheless, we did reduce the size of our model down to just under 3.6 MB, almost a 4x
decrease.

In addition, we can significantly improve on the accuracy simply by using a different
quantization configuration. We repeat the same exercise with the recommended configuration for
quantizing for x86 architectures. This configuration does the following:

  • Quantizes weights on a per-channel basis
  • Uses a histogram observer that collects a histogram of activations and then picks
    quantization parameters in an optimal manner.
per_channel_quantized_model = load_model(saved_model_dir + float_model_file)
per_channel_quantized_model.eval()
per_channel_quantized_model.fuse_model()
per_channel_quantized_model.qconfig = torch.quantization.get_default_qconfig('fbgemm')
print(per_channel_quantized_model.qconfig)

torch.quantization.prepare(per_channel_quantized_model, inplace=True)
evaluate(per_channel_quantized_model,criterion, data_loader, num_calibration_batches)
torch.quantization.convert(per_channel_quantized_model, inplace=True)
top1, top5 = evaluate(per_channel_quantized_model, criterion, data_loader_test, neval_batches=num_eval_batches)
print('Evaluation accuracy on %d images, %2.2f'%(num_eval_batches * eval_batch_size, top1.avg))

..........Evaluation accuracy on 300 images, 73.00

Changing just this quantization configuration method resulted in an increase
of the accuracy to over 76%! Still, this is 1-2% worse than the baseline of 78% achieved above.
So lets try quantization aware training.

  1. Quantization-aware training

Quantization-aware training (QAT) is the quantization method that typically results in the highest accuracy.
With QAT, all weights and activations are “fake quantized” during both the forward and backward passes of
training: that is, float values are rounded to mimic int8 values, but all computations are still done with
floating point numbers. Thus, all the weight adjustments during training are made while “aware” of the fact
that the model will ultimately be quantized; after quantizing, therefore, this method will usually yield
higher accuracy than either dynamic quantization or post-training static quantization.

The overall workflow for actually performing QAT is very similar to before:

  • We can use the same model as before: there is no additional preparation needed for quantization-aware
    training.
  • We need to use a qconfig specifying what kind of fake-quantization is to be inserted after weights
    and activations, instead of specifying observers

We first define a training function:

def train_one_epoch(model, criterion, optimizer, data_loader, device, ntrain_batches):
    model.train()
    top1 = AverageMeter('Acc@1', ':6.2f')
    top5 = AverageMeter('Acc@5', ':6.2f')
    avgloss = AverageMeter('Loss', '1.5f')

    cnt = 0
    for image, target in data_loader:
        start_time = time.time()
        print('.', end = '')
        cnt += 1
        image, target = image.to(device), target.to(device)
        output = model(image)
        loss = criterion(output, target)
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()
        acc1, acc5 = accuracy(output, target, topk=(1, 5))
        top1.update(acc1[0], image.size(0))
        top5.update(acc5[0], image.size(0))
        avgloss.update(loss, image.size(0))
        if cnt >= ntrain_batches:
            print('Loss', avgloss.avg)

            print('Training: * Acc@1 {top1.avg:.3f} Acc@5 {top5.avg:.3f}'
                  .format(top1=top1, top5=top5))
            return

    print('Full imagenet train set:  * Acc@1 {top1.global_avg:.3f} Acc@5 {top5.global_avg:.3f}'
          .format(top1=top1, top5=top5))
    return

We fuse modules as before

qat_model = load_model(saved_model_dir + float_model_file)
qat_model.fuse_model()

optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(qat_model.parameters(), lr = 0.0001)
qat_model.qconfig = torch.quantization.get_default_qat_qconfig('fbgemm')

Finally, prepare_qat performs the “fake quantization”, preparing the model for quantization-aware
training

torch.quantization.prepare_qat(qat_model, inplace=True)
print('Inverted Residual Block: After preparation for QAT, note fake-quantization modules \n',qat_model.features[1].conv)

 Sequential(
  (0): ConvBNReLU(
    (0): ConvBnReLU2d(
      32, 32, kernel_size=(3, 3), stride=(1, 1), padding=(1, 1), groups=32, bias=False
      (activation_post_process): FakeQuantize(
        fake_quant_enabled=True, observer_enabled=True,            scale=tensor([1.]), zero_point=tensor([0])
        (activation_post_process): MovingAverageMinMaxObserver(min_val=tensor([]), max_val=tensor([]))
      )
      (weight_fake_quant): FakeQuantize(
        fake_quant_enabled=True, observer_enabled=True,            scale=tensor([1.]), zero_point=tensor([0])
        (activation_post_process): MovingAveragePerChannelMinMaxObserver(min_val=tensor([]), max_val=tensor([]))
      )
    )
    (1): Identity()
    (2): Identity()
  )
  (1): ConvBn2d(
    32, 16, kernel_size=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False
    (activation_post_process): FakeQuantize(
      fake_quant_enabled=True, observer_enabled=True,            scale=tensor([1.]), zero_point=tensor([0])
      (activation_post_process): MovingAverageMinMaxObserver(min_val=tensor([]), max_val=tensor([]))
    )
    (weight_fake_quant): FakeQuantize(
      fake_quant_enabled=True, observer_enabled=True,            scale=tensor([1.]), zero_point=tensor([0])
      (activation_post_process): MovingAveragePerChannelMinMaxObserver(min_val=tensor([]), max_val=tensor([]))
    )
  )
  (2): Identity()
)

Training a quantized model with high accuracy requires accurate modeling of numerics at
inference. For quantization aware training, therefore, we modify the training loop by:

  • Switch batch norm to use running mean and variance towards the end of training to better
    match inference numerics.
  • We also freeze the quantizer parameters (scale and zero-point) and fine tune the weights.
num_train_batches = 20

# Train and check accuracy after each epoch
for nepoch in range(8):
    train_one_epoch(qat_model, criterion, optimizer, data_loader, torch.device('cpu'), num_train_batches)
    if nepoch > 3:
        # Freeze quantizer parameters
        qat_model.apply(torch.quantization.disable_observer)
    if nepoch > 2:
        # Freeze batch norm mean and variance estimates
        qat_model.apply(torch.nn.intrinsic.qat.freeze_bn_stats)

    # Check the accuracy after each epoch
    quantized_model = torch.quantization.convert(qat_model.eval(), inplace=False)
    quantized_model.eval()
    top1, top5 = evaluate(quantized_model,criterion, data_loader_test, neval_batches=num_eval_batches)
    print('Epoch %d :Evaluation accuracy on %d images, %2.2f'%(nepoch, num_eval_batches * eval_batch_size, top1.avg))

Here, we just perform quantization-aware training for a small number of epochs. Nevertheless,
quantization-aware training yields an accuracy of over 71% on the entire imagenet dataset,
which is close to the floating point accuracy of 71.9%.

More on quantization-aware training:

  • QAT is a super-set of post training quant techniques that allows for more debugging.
    For example, we can analyze if the accuracy of the model is limited by weight or activation
    quantization.
  • We can also simulate the accuracy of a quantized model in floating point since
    we are using fake-quantization to model the numerics of actual quantized arithmetic.
  • We can mimic post training quantization easily too.

Speedup from quantization
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Finally, let’s confirm something we alluded to above: do our quantized models actually perform inference
faster? Let’s test:

def run_benchmark(model_file, img_loader):
    elapsed = 0
    model = torch.jit.load(model_file)
    model.eval()
    num_batches = 5
    # Run the scripted model on a few batches of images
    for i, (images, target) in enumerate(img_loader):
        if i < num_batches:
            start = time.time()
            output = model(images)
            end = time.time()
            elapsed = elapsed + (end-start)
        else:
            break
    num_images = images.size()[0] * num_batches

    print('Elapsed time: %3.0f ms' % (elapsed/num_images*1000))
    return elapsed

run_benchmark(saved_model_dir + scripted_float_model_file, data_loader_test)

run_benchmark(saved_model_dir + scripted_quantized_model_file, data_loader_test)
Elapsed time:  14 ms
Elapsed time:   3 ms





0.40583157539367676

Running this locally on a MacBook pro yielded 61 ms for the regular model, and
just 20 ms for the quantized model, illustrating the typical 2-4x speedup
we see for quantized models compared to floating point ones.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we showed two quantization methods - post-training static quantization,
and quantization-aware training - describing what they do “under the hood” and how to use
them in PyTorch.
