2 基本信息

2.1 脚本

训练脚本是通过构建BatchNorm单算子网络,对Tensor做归一化处理。脚本如下:

01 class Net(nn.Cell):
02     def __init__(self):
03         super(Net, self).__init__()
04         self.batch_norm = ops.BatchNorm()
05     def construct(self,input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance):
06         output = self.batch_norm(input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance)
07         return output
08
09 net = Net()
10 input_x = Tensor(np.ones([2, 2]), mindspore.float16)
11 scale = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float16)
12 bias = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float16)
13 bias = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float16)
14 mean = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float16)
15 variance = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float16)
16 output = net(input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance)
17 print(output)

2.2 报错

这里报错信息如下:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "116945.py", line 22, in <module>
    output = net(input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance)
  File "/data2/llj/mindspores/r1.5/build/package/mindspore/nn/cell.py", line 407, in __call__
    out = self.compile_and_run(*inputs)

TypeError: mindspore/ccsrc/runtime/device/gpu/kernel_info_setter.cc:355 PrintUnsupportedTypeException] Select GPU kernel op[BatchNorm] fail! Incompatible data type!
The supported data types are in[float32 float32 float32 float32 float32], out[float32 float32 float32 float32 float32]; in[float16 float32 float32 float32 float32], out[float16 float32 float32 float32 float32]; , but get in [float16 float16 float16 float16 float16 ] out [float16 float16 float16 float16 float16 ]

3 原因分析

我们看报错信息,在TypeError中,写到Select GPU kernel op[BatchNorm] fail! Incompatible data type! The supported data types are in[float32 float32 float32 float32 float32], out[float32 float32 float32 float32 float32]; in[float16 float32 float32 float32 float32], out[float16 float32 float32 float32 float32]; , but get in [float16 float16 float16 float16 float16 ] out [float16 float16 float16 float16 float16 ],大概意思是GPU环境下, 不支持当前输入的数据类型组合, 并说明了支持的数据类型组合是怎样的:全部为float32或者input_x为float16, 其余为float32。检查脚本的输入发现全部为float16类型, 因此报错。

4 解决方法

基于上面已知的原因,很容易做出如下修改:

01 class Net(nn.Cell):
02     def __init__(self):
03         super(Net, self).__init__()
04         self.batch_norm = ops.BatchNorm()
05     def construct(self,input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance):
06         output = self.batch_norm(input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance)
07         return output
08 
09 net = Net()
10 input_x = Tensor(np.ones([2, 2]), mindspore.float16)
11 scale = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float32)
12 bias = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float32)
13 mean = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float32)
14 variance = Tensor(np.ones([2]), mindspore.float32)
15 
16 output = net(input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance)
17 print(output)

此时执行成功,输出如下:

output: (Tensor(shape=[2, 2], dtype=Float16, value=
[[ 1.0000e+00,  1.0000e+00],
 [ 1.0000e+00,  1.0000e+00]]), Tensor(shape=[2], dtype=Float32, value= [ 0.00000000e+00,  0.00000000e+00]), Tensor(shape=[2], dtype=Float32, value= [ 0.00000000e+00,  0.00000000e+00]), Tensor(shape=[2], dtype=Float32, value= [ 0.00000000e+00,  0.00000000e+00]), Tensor(shape=[2], dtype=Float32, value= [ 0.00000000e+00,  0.00000000e+00]))

5 总结

定位报错问题的步骤:
1、找到报错的用户代码行: 16 output = net(input_x, scale, bias, mean, variance);
2、 根据日志报错信息中的关键字,缩小分析问题的范围:The supported data types are in[float32 float32 float32 float32 float32], out[float32 float32 float32 float32 float32]; in[float16 float32 float32 float32 float32], out[float16 float32 float32 float32 float32]; , but get in [float16 float16 float16 float16 float16 ] out [float16 float16 float16 float16 float16 ]
3、需要重点关注变量定义、初始化的正确性。
