Gotch

Overview

gotch creates a thin wrapper to Pytorch C++ APIs (Libtorch) to make use of its already optimized C++ tensor APIs (3039) and dynamic graph computation with CUDA support and provides idiomatic Go APIs for developing and implementing Deep Learning in Go.

Some features are

• Comprehensive Pytorch tensor APIs (2525)
• Fully featured Pytorch dynamic graph computation
• JIT interface to run model trained/saved using PyTorch Python API
• Load pretrained Pytorch models and run inference
• Pure Go APIs to build and train neural network models with both CPU and GPU support
• Most recent image models
• NLP Language models - Transformer in separate package built with gotch and pure Go Tokenizer.

gotch is in active development mode and may have API breaking changes. Feel free to pull request, report issues or discuss any concerns. All contributions are welcome.

gotch current version is v0.9.1

Dependencies

• Libtorch C++ v2.1.0 library of Pytorch
• Clang-17/Clang++-17 compilers

Installation

• Default CUDA version is 11.8 if CUDA is available otherwise using CPU version.
• Default Pytorch C++ API version is 2.1.0

NOTE: libtorch will be installed at /usr/local/lib

CPU

Step 1: Setup libtorch (skip this step if a valid libtorch already installed in your machine!)

    wget https://github.com/sugarme/gotch/releases/download/v0.9.0/setup-libtorch.sh
    chmod +x setup-libtorch.sh
    export CUDA_VER=cpu && bash setup-libtorch.sh

Update Environment: in Debian/Ubuntu, add/update the following lines to .bashrc file

    export GOTCH_LIBTORCH="/usr/local/lib/libtorch"
    export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/lib"
    export CPATH="$CPATH:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/lib:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/include:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/include/torch/csrc/api/include"
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/lib"

Step 2: Setup gotch

    wget https://github.com/sugarme/gotch/releases/download/v0.9.0/setup-gotch.sh
    chmod +x setup-gotch.sh
    export CUDA_VER=cpu && export GOTCH_VER=v0.9.1 && bash setup-gotch.sh

GPU

NOTE: make sure your machine has working CUDA.

• Check version: nvidia-smi
• Install nvidia driver here
• Install CUDA here
• Install CuDNN here

Step 1: Setup libtorch (skip this step if a valid libtorch already installed in your machine!)

    wget https://github.com/sugarme/gotch/releases/download/v0.9.0/setup-libtorch.sh
    chmod +x setup-libtorch.sh

    export CUDA_VER=11.8 && bash setup-libtorch.sh

Update Environment: in Debian/Ubuntu, add/update the following lines to .bashrc file

    export GOTCH_LIBTORCH="/usr/local/lib/libtorch"
    export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/lib"
    export CPATH="$CPATH:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/lib:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/include:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/include/torch/csrc/api/include"
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GOTCH_LIBTORCH/lib:/usr/lib64-nvidia:/usr/local/cuda-${CUDA_VERSION}/lib64"

Step 2: Setup gotch

    wget https://github.com/sugarme/gotch/releases/download/v0.9.0/setup-gotch.sh
    chmod +x setup-gotch.sh
    export CUDA_VER=11.8 && export GOTCH_VER=v0.9.1 && bash setup-gotch.sh
