zhreshold opened a new pull request #17464: [WIP][mxnet 2.0] Pure C++ threaded dataloader that shared the interface with gluon dataloader URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/17464 ## Description ## This is the implementation for proposal https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/17269 The coverage for dataset types are still limited but minimal examples are already available. ```python import time import mxnet as mx from mxnet.gluon.data.dataloader import no_mx_iter, DataLoader from mxnet.gluon.data.vision.transforms import ToTensor dataset = mx.gluon.data.vision.CIFAR10() cpp_dl = DataLoader(dataset.transform_first(ToTensor()), batch_size=32, num_workers=8) start = time.time() for _ in range(5): print(len(cpp_dl)) for _ in cpp_dl: pass print('Elapsed time for backend dataloader:', time.time() - start) with no_mx_iter: dl = DataLoader(dataset.transform_first(ToTensor()), batch_size=32, num_workers=8) start = time.time() for _ in range(5): print(len(dl)) for _ in dl: pass print('Elapsed time for python multiprocess dataloader:', time.time() - start) ``` C++ backend loader is roughly 2x faster even for a simple workload. ## Checklist ## ### Essentials ### Please feel free to remove inapplicable items for your PR. - [ ] Changes are complete (i.e. I finished coding on this PR) - [ ] All changes have test coverage: - Unit tests are added for small changes to verify correctness (e.g. adding a new operator) - Nightly tests are added for complicated/long-running ones (e.g. changing distributed kvstore) - Build tests will be added for build configuration changes (e.g. adding a new build option with NCCL) - [ ] Code is well-documented: - For user-facing API changes, API doc string has been updated. - For new C++ functions in header files, their functionalities and arguments are documented. - For new examples, README.md is added to explain the what the example does, the source of the dataset, expected performance on test set and reference to the original paper if applicable - Check the API doc at https://mxnet-ci-doc.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com/PR-$PR_ID/$BUILD_ID/index.html - [ ] To the best of my knowledge, examples are either not affected by this change, or have been fixed to be compatible with this change ### Changes ### - [ ] Feature1, tests, (and when applicable, API doc) - [ ] Feature2, tests, (and when applicable, API doc) ## Comments ## - If this change is a backward incompatible change, why must this change be made. - Interesting edge cases to note here
