"""Enable or disable the use of TensorFloat-32 on supported hardware.
[TensorFloat-32](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/14/tensorfloat-32-precision-format),
or TF32 for short, is a math mode for NVIDIA Ampere GPUs and above.
TensorFloat-32 execution causes certain float32 ops, such as matrix
multiplications and convolutions, to run much faster on such GPUs but with
reduced precision. This reduced precision should not impact convergence of
deep learning models in practice.
TensorFloat-32 is enabled by default. TensorFloat-32 is only supported on
NVIDIA GPUs starting with the Ampere generation, so older NVIDIA GPUs will use
the full float32 precision regardless of whether TensorFloat-32 is enabled or
not. If you want to use the full float32 precision on all GPUs, you can
disable TensorFloat-32 execution with this function. For example:
```python
x = tf.fill((1024, 1024), 1.0001)
y = tf.fill((1024, 1024), 1.)
# TensorFloat-32 is enabled, so matmul is run with reduced precision
print(tf.linalg.matmul(x, y)[0, 0]) # 1024.0
tf.config.experimental.enable_tensor_float_32_execution(False)
# Matmul is run with full precision
print(tf.linalg.matmul(x, y)[0, 0]) # ~1024.1
```
To check whether TensorFloat-32 execution is currently enabled, use
`tf.config.experimental.tensor_float_32_execution_enabled`.
If TensorFloat-32 is enabled, float32 inputs of supported ops, such as
`tf.linalg.matmul`, will be rounded from 23 bits of precision to 10 bits of
precision in most cases. This allows the ops to execute much faster by
utilizing the GPU's tensor cores. TensorFloat-32 has the same dynamic range as
float32, meaning it is no more likely to underflow or overflow than float32.
Ops still use float32 accumulation when TensorFloat-32 is enabled. Enabling or
disabling TensorFloat-32 only affects Ampere GPUs and above.
Note TensorFloat-32 is not always used in supported ops, as only inputs of
certain shapes are supported. Support for more input shapes and more ops may
be added in the future. As a result, precision of float32 ops may decrease in
minor versions of TensorFlow.
TensorFloat-32 is also used for some complex64 ops. Currently, TensorFloat-32
is used in fewer cases for complex64 as it is for float32.
Simiarly to GPUs, TPUs also run certain float32 ops, like matrix
multiplications and convolutions, with lower precision by default. Unlike
GPUs, TPUs use bfloat16 precision instead of TensorFloat-32 precision for such
ops. Disabling TensorFloat-32 with this function also causes TPUs to run
float32 ops with the full float32 precision but with lower performance.

empty dict if passed a non-GPU device.
The returned dict may have the following keys:
* `'device_name'`: A human-readable name of the device as a string, e.g.
"Titan V". Unlike `tf.config.PhysicalDevice.name`, this will be the same for
multiple devices if each device is the same model. Currently only available
for GPUs.
* `'compute_capability'`: The
[compute capability](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) of the device
as a tuple of two ints, in the form `(major_version, minor_version)`. Only
available for NVIDIA GPUs
Note: This is similar to `tf.sysconfig.get_build_info` in that both functions
can return information relating to GPUs. However, this function returns
run-time information about a specific device (such as a GPU's compute
capability), while `tf.sysconfig.get_build_info` returns compile-time
information about how TensorFlow was built (such as what version of CUDA
TensorFlow was built for).
Args:
device: A `tf.config.PhysicalDevice` returned by
`tf.config.list_physical_devices` or `tf.config.get_visible_devices`.
Returns:
A dict with string keys.

"""Configures TensorFlow ops to run deterministically.
When op determinism is enabled, TensorFlow ops will be deterministic. This
means that if an op is run multiple times with the same inputs on the same
hardware, it will have the exact same outputs each time. This is useful for
debugging models. Note that determinism in general comes at the expense of
lower performance and so your model may run slower when op determinism is
enabled.
If you want your TensorFlow program to run deterministically, put the
following code near the start of your program.
```python
tf.keras.utils.set_random_seed(1)
tf.config.experimental.enable_op_determinism()
```
Calling `tf.keras.utils.set_random_seed` sets the Python seed, the NumPy seed,
and the TensorFlow seed. Setting these seeds is necessary to ensure any random
numbers your program generates are also deterministic.
By default, op determinism is not enabled, so ops might return different
results when run with the same inputs. These differences are often caused by
the use of asynchronous threads within the op nondeterministically changing
the order in which floating-point numbers are added. Most of these cases of
nondeterminism occur on GPUs, which have thousands of hardware threads that
are used to run ops. Enabling determinism directs such ops to use a different
algorithm, one that does not use threads in a nondeterministic way.
Another potential source of nondeterminism is `tf.data` based data processing.
Typically, this can introduce nondeterminsm due to the use of parallelism in
methods such as `Dataset.map` producing inputs or running stateful ops in a
nondeterministic order. Enabling determinism will remove such sources of
nondeterminism.
Enabling determinism will likely make your model or your `tf.data` data
processing slower. For example, `Dataset.map` can become several orders of
magnitude slower when the map function has random ops or other stateful ops.
See the “Determinism and tf.data” section below for more details. In future
TensorFlow releases, we plan on improving the performance of determinism,
especially for common scenarios such as `Dataset.map`.
Certain ops will raise an `UnimplementedError` because they do not yet have a
deterministic implementation. Additionally, due to bugs, some ops might be
nondeterministic and not raise an `UnimplementedError`. If you encounter such
ops, please [file an issue](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues).
An example of enabling determinism follows. The
`tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits` op is run multiple times and the
output is shown to be the same each time. This example would likely fail when
run on a GPU if determinism were not enabled, because
`tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits` uses a nondeterministic algorithm on
GPUs by default.
```python
labels = tf.random.normal((1, 10000))
logits = tf.random.normal((1, 10000))
output = tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(labels=labels,
logits=logits)
for _ in range(5):
output2 = tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(labels=labels,
logits=logits)
tf.debugging.assert_equal(output, output2)
```
## Writing deterministic models
You can make your models deterministic by enabling op determinism. This
means that you can train a model and finish each run with exactly the same
trainable variables. This also means that the inferences of your
previously-trained model will be exactly the same on each run. Typically,
models can be made deterministic by simply setting the seeds and enabling
op determinism, as in the example above. However, to guarantee that your
model operates deterministically, you must meet all the following
requirements:
* Call `tf.config.experimental.enable_op_determinism()`, as mentioned above.
* Reproducibly reset any pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) youre using,
such as by setting the seeds for the default PRNGs in TensorFlow, Python,
and NumPy, as mentioned above. Note that certain newer NumPy classes like
` numpy.random.default_rng` ignore the global NumPy seed, so a seed must be
explicitly passed to such classes, if used.
* Use the same hardware configuration in every run.
* Use the same software environment in every run (OS, checkpoints, version of
CUDA and TensorFlow, environmental variables, etc). Note that determinism is
not guaranteed across different versions of TensorFlow.
* Do not use constructs outside TensorFlow that are nondeterministic, such as
reading from `/dev/random` or using multiple threads/processes in ways that
influence TensorFlows behavior.
* Ensure your input pipeline is deterministic. If you use `tf.data`, this is
done automatically (at the expense of performance). See "Determinism and
tf.data" below for more information.
* Do not use `tf.compat.v1.Session` and
`tf.distribute.experimental.ParameterServerStrategy`, which can introduce
nondeterminism. Besides ops (including `tf.data` ops), these are the only
known potential sources of nondeterminism within TensorFlow, (if you
find more, please file an issue). Note that `tf.compat.v1.Session` is
required to use the TF1 API, so determinism cannot be guaranteed when using
the TF1 API.
* Do not use nondeterministic custom ops.
## Additional details on determinism
For stateful ops to be deterministic, the state of the system must be the same
every time the op is run. For example the output of `tf.Variable.sparse_read`
(obviously) depends on both the variable value and the `indices` function
parameter. When determinism is enabled, the side effects of stateful ops are
deterministic.
TensorFlows random ops, such as `tf.random.normal`, will raise a
`RuntimeError` if determinism is enabled and a seed has not been set. However,
attempting to generate nondeterministic random numbers using Python or NumPy
will not raise such errors. Make sure you remember to set the Python and NumPy
seeds. Calling `tf.keras.utils.set_random_seed` is an easy way to set all
three seeds.
Note that latency, memory consumption, throughput, and other performance
characteristics are *not* made deterministic by enabling op determinism.
Only op outputs and side effects are made deterministic. Additionally, a model
may nondeterministically raise a `tf.errors.ResourceExhaustedError` from a
lack of memory due to the fact that memory consumption is nondeterministic.
## Determinism and tf.data
Enabling deterministic ops makes `tf.data` deterministic in several ways:
1. For dataset methods with a `deterministic` argument, such as `Dataset.map`
and `Dataset.batch`, the `deterministic` argument is overridden to be
`True` irrespective of its setting.
2. The `tf.data.Option.experimental_deterministic` option is overridden to be
`True` irrespective of its setting..
3. In `Dataset.map` and `Dataset.interleave`, if the map or interleave
function has stateful random ops or other stateful ops, the function will
run serially instead of in parallel. This means the `num_parallel_calls`
argument to `map` and `interleave` is effectively ignored.
4. Prefetching with `Dataset.prefetch` will be disabled if any function run
as part of the input pipeline has certain stateful ops. Similarly, any
dataset method with a `num_parallel_calls` argument will be made to run
serially if any function in the input pipeline has such stateful ops.
Legacy random ops such as `tf.random.normal` will *not* cause such datasets
to be changed, but most other stateful ops will.
Unfortunately, due to (3), performance can be greatly reduced when stateful
ops are used in `Dataset.map` due to no longer running the map function in
parallel. A common example of stateful ops used in `Dataset.map` are random
ops, such as `tf.random.normal`, which are typically used for distortions. One
way to work around this is to use stateless random ops instead. Alternatively
you can hoist all random ops into its own separate `Dataset.map` call, making
the original `Dataset.map` call stateless and thus avoid the need to serialize
its execution.
(4) can also cause performance to be reduced, but occurs less frequently than
(3) because legacy random ops do not cause (4) to take effect. However, unlike
(3), when there are non-random stateful ops in a user-defined function, every
`map` and `interleave` dataset is affected, instead of just the `map` or
`interleave` dataset with the function that has stateful ops. Additionally,
`prefetch` datasets and any dataset with the `num_parallel_calls` argument are
also affected.
