Resume mode, Plotly and PyTorch update, OnPolicyCrossEntropy memory
Resume mode
- #455 adds
train@
resume mode and refactors theenjoy
mode. See PR for detailed info.
train@
usage example
Specify train mode as train@{predir}
, where {predir} is the data directory of the last training run, or simply use
latest` to use the latest. e.g.:
python run_lab.py slm_lab/spec/benchmark/reinforce/reinforce_cartpole.json reinforce_cartpole train
# terminate run before its completion
# optionally edit the spec file in a past-future-consistent manner
# run resume with either of the commands:
python run_lab.py slm_lab/spec/benchmark/reinforce/reinforce_cartpole.json reinforce_cartpole train@latest
# or to use a specific run folder
python run_lab.py slm_lab/spec/benchmark/reinforce/reinforce_cartpole.json reinforce_cartpole train@data/reinforce_cartpole_2020_04_13_232521
enjoy
mode refactor
The train@
resume mode API allows for the enjoy
mode to be refactored. Both share similar syntax. Continuing with the example above, to enjoy a train model, we now use:
python run_lab.py slm_lab/spec/benchmark/reinforce/reinforce_cartpole.json reinforce_cartpole enjoy@data/reinforce_cartpole_2020_04_13_232521/reinforce_cartpole_t0_s0_spec.json
Plotly and PyTorch update
- #453 updates Plotly to 4.5.4 and PyTorch to 1.3.1.
- #454 explicitly shuts down Plotly orca server after plotting to prevent zombie processes
PPO batch size optimization
- #453 adds chunking to allow PPO to run on larger batch size by breaking up the forward loop.
