Used to specify and override the default API & behavior in the generated code for client languages, from what you would get from the OpDef alone. There will be a set of ApiDefs that are common to all client languages, and another set per client language. The per-client-language ApiDefs will inherit values from the common ApiDefs which it can either replace or modify. We separate the API definition from the OpDef so we can evolve the API while remaining backwards compatible when interpretting old graphs. Overrides go in an "api_def.pbtxt" file with a text-format ApiDefs message. WARNING: Be *very* careful changing the API for any existing op -- you can change the semantics of existing code. These changes may need to wait until a major release of TensorFlow to avoid breaking our compatibility promises.

Used in: ApiDefs

Special header that is associated with a bundle. TODO(zongheng,zhifengc): maybe in the future, we can add information about which binary produced this checkpoint, timestamp, etc. Sometime, these can be valuable debugging information.

Defines a subgraph in another `GraphDef` as a set of feed points and nodes to be fetched or executed. Compare with the arguments to `Session::Run()`.

• repeated string feed = 1

  Tensors to be fed in the callable. Each feed is the name of a tensor.

• repeated string fetch = 2

  Fetches. A list of tensor names. The caller of the callable expects a tensor to be returned for each fetch[i] (see RunStepResponse.tensor). The order of specified fetches does not change the execution order.

• repeated string target = 3

  Target Nodes. A list of node names. The named nodes will be run by the callable but their outputs will not be returned.

• optional RunOptions run_options = 4

  Options that will be applied to each run.

• repeated TensorConnection tensor_connection = 5

  Tensors to be connected in the callable. Each TensorConnection denotes a pair of tensors in the graph, between which an edge will be created in the callable.

• map<string, string> feed_devices = 6

  The Tensor objects fed in the callable and fetched from the callable are expected to be backed by host (CPU) memory by default. The options below allow changing that - feeding tensors backed by device memory, or returning tensors that are backed by device memory. The maps below map the name of a feed/fetch tensor (which appears in 'feed' or 'fetch' fields above), to the fully qualified name of the device owning the memory backing the contents of the tensor. For example, creating a callable with the following options: CallableOptions { feed: "a:0" feed: "b:0" fetch: "x:0" fetch: "y:0" feed_devices: { "a:0": "/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0" } fetch_devices: { "y:0": "/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0" } } means that the Callable expects: - The first argument ("a:0") is a Tensor backed by GPU memory. - The second argument ("b:0") is a Tensor backed by host memory. and of its return values: - The first output ("x:0") will be backed by host memory. - The second output ("y:0") will be backed by GPU memory. FEEDS: It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the memory of the fed tensors will be correctly initialized and synchronized before it is accessed by operations executed during the call to Session::RunCallable(). This is typically ensured by using the TensorFlow memory allocators (Device::GetAllocator()) to create the Tensor to be fed. Alternatively, for CUDA-enabled GPU devices, this typically means that the operation that produced the contents of the tensor has completed, i.e., the CUDA stream has been synchronized (e.g., via cuCtxSynchronize() or cuStreamSynchronize()).

• map<string, string> fetch_devices = 7

• bool fetch_skip_sync = 8

  By default, RunCallable() will synchronize the GPU stream before returning fetched tensors on a GPU device, to ensure that the values in those tensors have been produced. This simplifies interacting with the tensors, but potentially incurs a performance hit. If this options is set to true, the caller is responsible for ensuring that the values in the fetched tensors have been produced before they are used. The caller can do this by invoking `Device::Sync()` on the underlying device(s), or by feeding the tensors back to the same Session using `feed_devices` with the same corresponding device name.

Defines a TensorFlow cluster as a set of jobs.

Used in: ConfigProto, ServerDef

• repeated JobDef job = 1

  The jobs that comprise the cluster.

Defines the device filters for jobs in a cluster.

Used in: ServerDef

• repeated JobDeviceFilters jobs = 1

Code location information: A stack trace with host-name information. Instead of encoding the detailed stack trace, this proto refers to IDs of stack frames stored as `StackFrameWithId` protos.

Used in: Execution, GraphOpCreation

• string host_name = 1

  Host name on which the source files are located.

• repeated string stack_frame_ids = 2

  ID to a stack frame, each of which is pointed to by a unique ID. The ordering of the frames is consistent with Python's `traceback.extract_tb()`.

CollectionDef should cover most collections. To add a user-defined collection, do one of the following: 1. For simple data types, such as string, int, float: tf.add_to_collection("your_collection_name", your_simple_value) strings will be stored as bytes_list. 2. For Protobuf types, there are three ways to add them: 1) tf.add_to_collection("your_collection_name", your_proto.SerializeToString()) collection_def { key: "user_defined_bytes_collection" value { bytes_list { value: "queue_name: \"test_queue\"\n" } } } or 2) tf.add_to_collection("your_collection_name", str(your_proto)) collection_def { key: "user_defined_string_collection" value { bytes_list { value: "\n\ntest_queue" } } } or 3) any_buf = any_pb2.Any() tf.add_to_collection("your_collection_name", any_buf.Pack(your_proto)) collection_def { key: "user_defined_any_collection" value { any_list { value { type_url: "type.googleapis.com/tensorflow.QueueRunnerDef" value: "\n\ntest_queue" } } } } 3. For Python objects, implement to_proto() and from_proto(), and register them in the following manner: ops.register_proto_function("your_collection_name", proto_type, to_proto=YourPythonObject.to_proto, from_proto=YourPythonObject.from_proto) These functions will be invoked to serialize and de-serialize the collection. For example, ops.register_proto_function(ops.GraphKeys.GLOBAL_VARIABLES, proto_type=variable_pb2.VariableDef, to_proto=Variable.to_proto, from_proto=Variable.from_proto)

Used in: ServerDef

• map<string, int32> device_count = 1

  Map from device type name (e.g., "CPU" or "GPU" ) to maximum number of devices of that type to use. If a particular device type is not found in the map, the system picks an appropriate number.

• int32 intra_op_parallelism_threads = 2

  The execution of an individual op (for some op types) can be parallelized on a pool of intra_op_parallelism_threads. 0 means the system picks an appropriate number. If you create an ordinary session, e.g., from Python or C++, then there is exactly one intra op thread pool per process. The first session created determines the number of threads in this pool. All subsequent sessions reuse/share this one global pool. There are notable exceptions to the default behavior describe above: 1. There is an environment variable for overriding this thread pool, named TF_OVERRIDE_GLOBAL_THREADPOOL. 2. When connecting to a server, such as a remote `tf.train.Server` instance, then this option will be ignored altogether.

• int32 inter_op_parallelism_threads = 5

  Nodes that perform blocking operations are enqueued on a pool of inter_op_parallelism_threads available in each process. 0 means the system picks an appropriate number. Negative means all operations are performed in caller's thread. Note that the first Session created in the process sets the number of threads for all future sessions unless use_per_session_threads is true or session_inter_op_thread_pool is configured.

• bool use_per_session_threads = 9

  If true, use a new set of threads for this session rather than the global pool of threads. Only supported by direct sessions. If false, use the global threads created by the first session, or the per-session thread pools configured by session_inter_op_thread_pool. This option is deprecated. The same effect can be achieved by setting session_inter_op_thread_pool to have one element, whose num_threads equals inter_op_parallelism_threads.

• repeated ThreadPoolOptionProto session_inter_op_thread_pool = 12

  This option is experimental - it may be replaced with a different mechanism in the future. Configures session thread pools. If this is configured, then RunOptions for a Run call can select the thread pool to use. The intended use is for when some session invocations need to run in a background pool limited to a small number of threads: - For example, a session may be configured to have one large pool (for regular compute) and one small pool (for periodic, low priority work); using the small pool is currently the mechanism for limiting the inter-op parallelism of the low priority work. Note that it does not limit the parallelism of work spawned by a single op kernel implementation. - Using this setting is normally not needed in training, but may help some serving use cases. - It is also generally recommended to set the global_name field of this proto, to avoid creating multiple large pools. It is typically better to run the non-low-priority work, even across sessions, in a single large pool.

• int32 placement_period = 3

  Assignment of Nodes to Devices is recomputed every placement_period steps until the system warms up (at which point the recomputation typically slows down automatically).

• repeated string device_filters = 4

  When any filters are present sessions will ignore all devices which do not match the filters. Each filter can be partially specified, e.g. "/job:ps" "/job:worker/replica:3", etc.

• optional GPUOptions gpu_options = 6

  Options that apply to all GPUs.

• bool allow_soft_placement = 7

  Whether soft placement is allowed. If allow_soft_placement is true, an op will be placed on CPU if 1. there's no GPU implementation for the OP or 2. no GPU devices are known or registered or 3. need to co-locate with reftype input(s) which are from CPU.

  Whether device placements should be logged.

• optional GraphOptions graph_options = 10

  Options that apply to all graphs.

• int64 operation_timeout_in_ms = 11

• optional RPCOptions rpc_options = 13

  Options that apply when this session uses the distributed runtime.

• optional ClusterDef cluster_def = 14

  Optional list of all workers to use in this session.

• bool isolate_session_state = 15

  If true, any resources such as Variables used in the session will not be shared with other sessions. However, when clusterspec propagation is enabled, this field is ignored and sessions are always isolated.

• bool share_cluster_devices_in_session = 17

  When true, WorkerSessions are created with device attributes from the full cluster. This is helpful when a worker wants to partition a graph (for example during a PartitionedCallOp).

• optional ConfigProto.Experimental experimental = 16

Everything inside Experimental is subject to change and is not subject to API stability guarantees in https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/version_compat.

Used in: ConfigProto

• string collective_group_leader = 1

  Task name for group resolution.

• string executor_type = 3

  Which executor to use, the default executor will be used if it is an empty string or "DEFAULT"

• int32 recv_buf_max_chunk = 4

  Guidance to formatting of large RecvBuf fields for transfer. Any positive value sets the max chunk size. 0 defaults to 4096. Any negative value indicates no max, i.e. one chunk only.

• bool use_numa_affinity = 5

  If true, and supported by the platform, the runtime will attempt to use NUMA affinity where applicable. One consequence will be the existence of as many CPU devices as there are available NUMA nodes.

• bool collective_deterministic_sequential_execution = 6

  If true, make collective op execution order sequential and deterministic for potentially concurrent collective instances.

• bool collective_nccl = 7

  If true, use NCCL for CollectiveOps. This feature is highly experimental.

• bool share_session_state_in_clusterspec_propagation = 8

  In the following, session state means the value of a variable, elements in a hash table, or any other resource, accessible by worker sessions held by a TF server. When ClusterSpec propagation is enabled, the value of isolate_session_state is ignored when deciding whether to share session states in a TF server (for backwards compatibility reasons). - If share_session_state_in_clusterspec_propagation is true, the session states are shared. - If share_session_state_in_clusterspec_propagation is false, session states are isolated. When clusterspec propagation is not used, the value of share_session_state_in_clusterspec_propagation is ignored when deciding whether to share session states in a TF server. - If isolate_session_state is true, session states are isolated. - If isolate_session_state is false, session states are shared. TODO(b/129330037): Add a single API that consistently treats isolate_session_state and ClusterSpec propagation.

• bool disable_thread_spinning = 9

  If using a direct session, disable spinning while waiting for work in the thread pool. This may result in higher latency for completing ops, but in the case where there is a lot of spinning may result in lower CPU usage.

• bool share_cluster_devices_in_session = 10

  This was promoted to a non-experimental API. Please use ConfigProto.share_cluster_devices_in_session instead.

• optional SessionMetadata session_metadata = 11

  Metadata about the session. If set, this can be used by the runtime and the Ops for debugging, monitoring, etc. NOTE: This is currently used and propagated only by the direct session.

• bool optimize_for_static_graph = 12

  If true, the session may treat the graph as being static for optimization purposes. If this option is set to true when a session is created, the full GraphDef must be passed in a single call to Session::Create(), and Session::Extend() may not be supported.

• bool enable_mlir_bridge = 13

  Whether to enable the MLIR-based TF->XLA bridge. This is a replacement to the existing bridge, and not ready for production usage yet. If this option is set to true when a session is created, MLIR is used to perform the set of graph transformations to put the graph in a form that can be executed with delegation of some computations to an accelerator. This builds on the model of XLA where a subset of the graph is encapsulated and attached to a "compile" operation, whose result is fed to an "execute" operation. The kernel for these operations is responsible to lower the encapsulated graph to a particular device.

• bool enable_mlir_graph_optimization = 16

  Whether to enable the MLIR-based Graph optimizations. This will become a part of standard Tensorflow graph optimization pipeline, currently this is only used for gradual migration and testing new passes that are replacing existing optimizations in Grappler.

• bool disable_output_partition_graphs = 14

  If true, the session will not store an additional copy of the graph for each subgraph. If this option is set to true when a session is created, the `RunOptions.output_partition_graphs` options must not be set.

• int64 xla_fusion_autotuner_thresh = 15

  Minimum number of batches run through the XLA graph before XLA fusion autotuner is enabled. Default value of zero disables the autotuner. The XLA fusion autotuner can improve performance by executing a heuristic search on the compiler parameters.

Session::Run() supports concurrent invocations of the same inputs (feed keys), outputs and target nodes. If such concurrent invocations are to be debugged, the callers of Session::Run() must use distinct debug_urls to make sure that the streamed or dumped events do not overlap among the invocations.

• double per_process_gpu_memory_fraction = 1

  Fraction of the available GPU memory to allocate for each process. 1 means to allocate all of the GPU memory, 0.5 means the process allocates up to ~50% of the available GPU memory. GPU memory is pre-allocated unless the allow_growth option is enabled. If greater than 1.0, uses CUDA unified memory to potentially oversubscribe the amount of memory available on the GPU device by using host memory as a swap space. Accessing memory not available on the device will be significantly slower as that would require memory transfer between the host and the device. Options to reduce the memory requirement should be considered before enabling this option as this may come with a negative performance impact. Oversubscription using the unified memory requires Pascal class or newer GPUs and it is currently only supported on the Linux operating system. See https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#um-requirements for the detailed requirements.

• bool allow_growth = 4

  If true, the allocator does not pre-allocate the entire specified GPU memory region, instead starting small and growing as needed.

• string allocator_type = 2

• string visible_device_list = 5

  A comma-separated list of GPU ids that determines the 'visible' to 'virtual' mapping of GPU devices. For example, if TensorFlow can see 8 GPU devices in the process, and one wanted to map visible GPU devices 5 and 3 as "/device:GPU:0", and "/device:GPU:1", then one would specify this field as "5,3". This field is similar in spirit to the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable, except it applies to the visible GPU devices in the process. NOTE: 1. The GPU driver provides the process with the visible GPUs in an order which is not guaranteed to have any correlation to the *physical* GPU id in the machine. This field is used for remapping "visible" to "virtual", which means this operates only after the process starts. Users are required to use vendor specific mechanisms (e.g., CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES) to control the physical to visible device mapping prior to invoking TensorFlow. 2. In the code, the ids in this list are also called "platform GPU id"s, and the 'virtual' ids of GPU devices (i.e. the ids in the device name "/device:GPU:<id>") are also called "TF GPU id"s. Please refer to third_party/tensorflow/core/common_runtime/gpu/gpu_id.h for more information.

• int32 polling_active_delay_usecs = 6

  In the event polling loop sleep this many microseconds between PollEvents calls, when the queue is not empty. If value is not set or set to 0, gets set to a non-zero default.

• int32 polling_inactive_delay_msecs = 7

  This field is deprecated and ignored.

• bool force_gpu_compatible = 8

  Force all tensors to be gpu_compatible. On a GPU-enabled TensorFlow, enabling this option forces all CPU tensors to be allocated with Cuda pinned memory. Normally, TensorFlow will infer which tensors should be allocated as the pinned memory. But in case where the inference is incomplete, this option can significantly speed up the cross-device memory copy performance as long as it fits the memory. Note that this option is not something that should be enabled by default for unknown or very large models, since all Cuda pinned memory is unpageable, having too much pinned memory might negatively impact the overall host system performance.

• optional GPUOptions.Experimental experimental = 9

  Everything inside experimental is subject to change and is not subject to API stability guarantees in https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/version_compat.

Used in: GPUOptions

• repeated Experimental.VirtualDevices virtual_devices = 1

  The multi virtual device settings. If empty (not set), it will create single virtual device on each visible GPU, according to the settings in "visible_device_list" above. Otherwise, the number of elements in the list must be the same as the number of visible GPUs (after "visible_device_list" filtering if it is set), and the string represented device names (e.g. /device:GPU:<id>) will refer to the virtual devices and have the <id> field assigned sequentially starting from 0, according to the order they appear in this list and the "memory_limit" list inside each element. For example, visible_device_list = "1,0" virtual_devices { memory_limit: 1GB memory_limit: 2GB } virtual_devices {} will create three virtual devices as: /device:GPU:0 -> visible GPU 1 with 1GB memory /device:GPU:1 -> visible GPU 1 with 2GB memory /device:GPU:2 -> visible GPU 0 with all available memory NOTE: 1. It's invalid to set both this and "per_process_gpu_memory_fraction" at the same time. 2. Currently this setting is per-process, not per-session. Using different settings in different sessions within same process will result in undefined behavior.

• bool use_unified_memory = 2

  If true, uses CUDA unified memory for memory allocations. If per_process_gpu_memory_fraction option is greater than 1.0, then unified memory is used regardless of the value for this field. See comments for per_process_gpu_memory_fraction field for more details and requirements of the unified memory. This option is useful to oversubscribe memory if multiple processes are sharing a single GPU while individually using less than 1.0 per process memory fraction.

• int32 num_dev_to_dev_copy_streams = 3

  If > 1, the number of device-to-device copy streams to create for each GPUDevice. Default value is 0, which is automatically converted to 1.

• string collective_ring_order = 4

  If non-empty, defines a good GPU ring order on a single worker based on device interconnect. This assumes that all workers have the same GPU topology. Specify as a comma-separated string, e.g. "3,2,1,0,7,6,5,4". This ring order is used by the RingReducer implementation of CollectiveReduce, and serves as an override to automatic ring order generation in OrderTaskDeviceMap() during CollectiveParam resolution.

• bool timestamped_allocator = 5

  If true then extra work is done by GPUDevice and GPUBFCAllocator to keep track of when GPU memory is freed and when kernels actually complete so that we can know when a nominally free memory chunk is really not subject to pending use.

• int32 kernel_tracker_max_interval = 7

  Parameters for GPUKernelTracker. By default no kernel tracking is done. Note that timestamped_allocator is only effective if some tracking is specified. If kernel_tracker_max_interval = n > 0, then a tracking event is inserted after every n kernels without an event.

• int32 kernel_tracker_max_bytes = 8

  If kernel_tracker_max_bytes = n > 0, then a tracking event is inserted after every series of kernels allocating a sum of memory >= n. If one kernel allocates b * n bytes, then one event will be inserted after it, but it will count as b against the pending limit.

• int32 kernel_tracker_max_pending = 9

  If kernel_tracker_max_pending > 0 then no more than this many tracking events can be outstanding at a time. An attempt to launch an additional kernel will stall until an event completes.

Configuration for breaking down a visible GPU into multiple "virtual" devices.

Used in: Experimental

• repeated float memory_limit_mb = 1

  Per "virtual" device memory limit, in MB. The number of elements in the list is the number of virtual devices to create on the corresponding visible GPU (see "virtual_devices" below). If empty, it will create single virtual device taking all available memory from the device. For the concept of "visible" and "virtual" GPU, see the comments for "visible_device_list" above for more information.

• repeated int32 priority = 2

  Priority values to use with the virtual devices. Use the cuda function cudaDeviceGetStreamPriorityRange to query for valid range of values for priority. On a P4000 GPU with cuda 10.1, the priority range reported was 0 for least priority and -1 for greatest priority. If this field is not specified, then the virtual devices will be created with the default. If this field has values set, then the size of this must match with the above memory_limit_mb.

GradientDef defines the gradient function of a function defined in a function library. A gradient function g (specified by gradient_func) for a function f (specified by function_name) must follow the following: The function 'f' must be a numerical function which takes N inputs and produces M outputs. Its gradient function 'g', which is a function taking N + M inputs and produces N outputs. I.e. if we have (y1, y2, ..., y_M) = f(x1, x2, ..., x_N), then, g is (dL/dx1, dL/dx2, ..., dL/dx_N) = g(x1, x2, ..., x_N, dL/dy1, dL/dy2, ..., dL/dy_M), where L is a scalar-value function of (x1, x2, ..., xN) (e.g., the loss function). dL/dx_i is the partial derivative of L with respect to x_i.

• repeated string files = 1

  This stores all the source code file names and can be indexed by the `file_index`.

• map<string, GraphDebugInfo.StackTrace> traces = 2

  This maps a node name to a stack trace in the source code. The map key is a mangling of the containing function and op name with syntax: op.name '@' func_name For ops in the top-level graph, the func_name is the empty string. Note that op names are restricted to a small number of characters which exclude '@', making it impossible to collide keys of this form. Function names accept a much wider set of characters. It would be preferable to avoid mangling and use a tuple key of (op.name, func_name), but this is not supported with protocol buffers.

• optional FunctionDefLibrary library = 2

  EXPERIMENTAL. DO NOT USE OR DEPEND ON THIS YET. "library" provides user-defined functions. Naming: * library.function.name are in a flat namespace. NOTE: We may need to change it to be hierarchical to support different orgs. E.g., { "/google/nn", { ... }}, { "/google/vision", { ... }} { "/org_foo/module_bar", { ... }} map<string, FunctionDefLib> named_lib; * If node[i].op is the name of one function in "library", node[i] is deemed as a function call. Otherwise, node[i].op must be a primitive operation supported by the runtime. Function call semantics: * The callee may start execution as soon as some of its inputs are ready. The caller may want to use Tuple() mechanism to ensure all inputs are ready in the same time. * The consumer of return values may start executing as soon as the return values the consumer depends on are ready. The consumer may want to use Tuple() mechanism to ensure the consumer does not start until all return values of the callee function are ready.

• bool is_stateful = 17

  Ops are marked as stateful if their behavior depends on some state beyond their input tensors (e.g. variable reading op) or if they have a side-effect (e.g. printing or asserting ops). Equivalently, stateless ops must always produce the same output for the same input and have no side-effects. By default Ops may be moved between devices. Stateful ops should either not be moved, or should only be moved if that state can also be moved (e.g. via some sort of save / restore). Stateful ops are guaranteed to never be optimized away by Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE).

• repeated DeviceStepStats dev_stats = 1

`StructuredValue` represents a dynamically typed value representing various data structures that are inspired by Python data structures typically used in TensorFlow functions as inputs and outputs. For example when saving a Layer there may be a `training` argument. If the user passes a boolean True/False, that switches between two concrete TensorFlow functions. In order to switch between them in the same way after loading the SavedModel, we need to represent "True" and "False". A more advanced example might be a function which takes a list of dictionaries mapping from strings to Tensors. In order to map from user-specified arguments `[{"a": tf.constant(1.)}, {"q": tf.constant(3.)}]` after load to the right saved TensorFlow function, we need to represent the nested structure and the strings, recording that we have a trace for anything matching `[{"a": tf.TensorSpec(None, tf.float32)}, {"q": tf.TensorSpec([], tf.float64)}]` as an example. Likewise functions may return nested structures of Tensors, for example returning a dictionary mapping from strings to Tensors. In order for the loaded function to return the same structure we need to serialize it. This is an ergonomic aid for working with loaded SavedModels, not a promise to serialize all possible function signatures. For example we do not expect to pickle generic Python objects, and ideally we'd stay language-agnostic.
