Too Long; Didn't Read

TensorFlow now supports a subset of NumPy via tf.experimental.numpy, enabling GPU-accelerated NumPy operations. This guide walks through setup, ND arrays, type promotion, broadcasting, indexing, model creation, and NumPy interoperability. While efficient, intermixing may trigger memory copies, so use with care.

Overview

TensorFlow implements a subset of the NumPy API, available as tf.experimental.numpy. This allows running NumPy code, accelerated by TensorFlow, while also allowing access to all of TensorFlow's APIs.

Setup

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow.experimental.numpy as tnp
import timeit

print("Using TensorFlow version %s" % tf.__version__)

Enabling NumPy behavior

In order to use tnp as NumPy, enable NumPy behavior for TensorFlow:


tnp.experimental_enable_numpy_behavior()

This call enables type promotion in TensorFlow and also changes type inference, when converting literals to tensors, to more strictly follow the NumPy standard.

Note: This call will change the behavior of entire TensorFlow, not just the tf.experimental.numpy module.

TensorFlow NumPy ND array

An instance of tf.experimental.numpy.ndarray, called ND Array, represents a multidimensional dense array of a given dtype placed on a certain device. It is an alias to tf.Tensor. Check out the ND array class for useful methods like ndarray.T, ndarray.reshape, ndarray.ravel and others.

First create an ND array object, and then invoke different methods.


# Create an ND array and check out different attributes.
ones = tnp.ones([5, 3], dtype=tnp.float32)
print("Created ND array with shape = %s, rank = %s, "
      "dtype = %s on device = %s\n" % (
          ones.shape, ones.ndim, ones.dtype, ones.device))

# `ndarray` is just an alias to `tf.Tensor`.
print("Is `ones` an instance of tf.Tensor: %s\n" % isinstance(ones, tf.Tensor))

# Try commonly used member functions.
print("ndarray.T has shape %s" % str(ones.T.shape))
print("narray.reshape(-1) has shape %s" % ones.reshape(-1).shape)



Created ND array with shape = (5, 3), rank = 2, dtype = <dtype: 'float32'> on device = /job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0

Is `ones` an instance of tf.Tensor: True

ndarray.T has shape (3, 5)
narray.reshape(-1) has shape (15,)

Type promotion

There are 4 options for type promotion in TensorFlow.

  • By default, TensorFlow raises errors instead of promoting types for mixed type operations.
  • Running tf.numpy.experimental_enable_numpy_behavior() switches TensorFlow to use NumPy type promotion rules (described below).
  • After TensorFlow 2.15, there are two new options (refer to TF NumPy Type Promotion for details):
    • tf.numpy.experimental_enable_numpy_behavior(dtype_conversion_mode="all") uses Jax type promotion rules.
    • tf.numpy.experimental_enable_numpy_behavior(dtype_conversion_mode="safe") uses Jax type promotion rules, but disallows certain unsafe promotions.

NumPy Type Promotion

TensorFlow NumPy APIs have well-defined semantics for converting literals to ND array, as well as for performing type promotion on ND array inputs. Please see np.result_type for more details.

TensorFlow APIs leave tf.Tensor inputs unchanged and do not perform type promotion on them, while TensorFlow NumPy APIs promote all inputs according to NumPy type promotion rules. In the next example, you will perform type promotion. First, run addition on ND array inputs of different types and note the output types. None of these type promotions would be allowed by TensorFlow APIs.


print("Type promotion for operations")
values = [tnp.asarray(1, dtype=d) for d in
          (tnp.int32, tnp.int64, tnp.float32, tnp.float64)]
for i, v1 in enumerate(values):
  for v2 in values[i + 1:]:
    print("%s + %s => %s" %
          (v1.dtype.name, v2.dtype.name, (v1 + v2).dtype.name))



Type promotion for operations
int32 + int64 => int64
int32 + float32 => float64
int32 + float64 => float64
int64 + float32 => float64
int64 + float64 => float64
float32 + float64 => float64

Finally, convert literals to ND array using ndarray.asarray and note the resulting type.


print("Type inference during array creation")
print("tnp.asarray(1).dtype == tnp.%s" % tnp.asarray(1).dtype.name)
print("tnp.asarray(1.).dtype == tnp.%s\n" % tnp.asarray(1.).dtype.name)



Type inference during array creation
tnp.asarray(1).dtype == tnp.int64
tnp.asarray(1.).dtype == tnp.float64

When converting literals to ND array, NumPy prefers wide types like tnp.int64 and tnp.float64. In contrast, tf.convert_to_tensor prefers tf.int32 and tf.float32 types for converting constants to tf.Tensor. TensorFlow NumPy APIs adhere to the NumPy behavior for integers. As for floats, the prefer_float32 argument of experimental_enable_numpy_behavior lets you control whether to prefer tf.float32 over tf.float64 (default to False). For example:


tnp.experimental_enable_numpy_behavior(prefer_float32=True)
print("When prefer_float32 is True:")
print("tnp.asarray(1.).dtype == tnp.%s" % tnp.asarray(1.).dtype.name)
print("tnp.add(1., 2.).dtype == tnp.%s" % tnp.add(1., 2.).dtype.name)

tnp.experimental_enable_numpy_behavior(prefer_float32=False)
print("When prefer_float32 is False:")
print("tnp.asarray(1.).dtype == tnp.%s" % tnp.asarray(1.).dtype.name)
print("tnp.add(1., 2.).dtype == tnp.%s" % tnp.add(1., 2.).dtype.name)



When prefer_float32 is True:
tnp.asarray(1.).dtype == tnp.float32
tnp.add(1., 2.).dtype == tnp.float32
When prefer_float32 is False:
tnp.asarray(1.).dtype == tnp.float64
tnp.add(1., 2.).dtype == tnp.float64

Broadcasting

Similar to TensorFlow, NumPy defines rich semantics for "broadcasting" values. You can check out the NumPy broadcasting guide for more information and compare this with TensorFlow broadcasting semantics.


x = tnp.ones([2, 3])
y = tnp.ones([3])
z = tnp.ones([1, 2, 1])
print("Broadcasting shapes %s, %s and %s gives shape %s" % (
    x.shape, y.shape, z.shape, (x + y + z).shape))



Broadcasting shapes (2, 3), (3,) and (1, 2, 1) gives shape (1, 2, 3)

Indexing

NumPy defines very sophisticated indexing rules. See the NumPy Indexing guide. Note the use of ND arrays as indices below.


x = tnp.arange(24).reshape(2, 3, 4)

print("Basic indexing")
print(x[1, tnp.newaxis, 1:3, ...], "\n")

print("Boolean indexing")
print(x[:, (True, False, True)], "\n")

print("Advanced indexing")
print(x[1, (0, 0, 1), tnp.asarray([0, 1, 1])])



Basic indexing
tf.Tensor(
[[[16 17 18 19]
  [20 21 22 23]]], shape=(1, 2, 4), dtype=int64) 

Boolean indexing
tf.Tensor(
[[[ 0  1  2  3]
  [ 8  9 10 11]]

 [[12 13 14 15]
  [20 21 22 23]]], shape=(2, 2, 4), dtype=int64) 

Advanced indexing
tf.Tensor([12 13 17], shape=(3,), dtype=int64)



# Mutation is currently not supported
try:
  tnp.arange(6)[1] = -1
except TypeError:
  print("Currently, TensorFlow NumPy does not support mutation.")



Currently, TensorFlow NumPy does not support mutation.

Example Model

Next, you can see how to create a model and run inference on it. This simple model applies a relu layer followed by a linear projection. Later sections will show how to compute gradients for this model using TensorFlow's GradientTape.


class Model(object):
  """Model with a dense and a linear layer."""

  def __init__(self):
    self.weights = None

  def predict(self, inputs):
    if self.weights is None:
      size = inputs.shape[1]
      # Note that type `tnp.float32` is used for performance.
      stddev = tnp.sqrt(size).astype(tnp.float32)
      w1 = tnp.random.randn(size, 64).astype(tnp.float32) / stddev
      bias = tnp.random.randn(64).astype(tnp.float32)
      w2 = tnp.random.randn(64, 2).astype(tnp.float32) / 8
      self.weights = (w1, bias, w2)
    else:
      w1, bias, w2 = self.weights
    y = tnp.matmul(inputs, w1) + bias
    y = tnp.maximum(y, 0)  # Relu
    return tnp.matmul(y, w2)  # Linear projection

model = Model()
# Create input data and compute predictions.
print(model.predict(tnp.ones([2, 32], dtype=tnp.float32)))



tf.Tensor(
[[-0.8292594   0.75780904]
 [-0.8292594   0.75780904]], shape=(2, 2), dtype=float32)

TensorFlow NumPy and NumPy

TensorFlow NumPy implements a subset of the full NumPy spec. While more symbols will be added over time, there are systematic features that will not be supported in the near future. These include NumPy C API support, Swig integration, Fortran storage order, views and stride_tricks, and some dtypes (like np.recarray and np.object). For more details, please see the TensorFlow NumPy API Documentation.

NumPy interoperability

TensorFlow ND arrays can interoperate with NumPy functions. These objects implement the __array__ interface. NumPy uses this interface to convert function arguments to np.ndarray values before processing them.

Similarly, TensorFlow NumPy functions can accept inputs of different types including np.ndarray. These inputs are converted to an ND array by calling ndarray.asarray on them.

Conversion of the ND array to and from np.ndarray may trigger actual data copies. Please see the section on buffer copies for more details.


# ND array passed into NumPy function.
np_sum = np.sum(tnp.ones([2, 3]))
print("sum = %s. Class: %s" % (float(np_sum), np_sum.__class__))

# `np.ndarray` passed into TensorFlow NumPy function.

Buffer copies

Intermixing TensorFlow NumPy with NumPy code may trigger data copies. This is because TensorFlow NumPy has stricter requirements on memory alignment than those of NumPy.

When a np.ndarray is passed to TensorFlow NumPy, it will check for alignment requirements and trigger a copy if needed. When passing an ND array CPU buffer to NumPy, generally the buffer will satisfy alignment requirements and NumPy will not need to create a copy.

ND arrays can refer to buffers placed on devices other than the local CPU memory. In such cases, invoking a NumPy function will trigger copies across the network or device as needed.

Given this, intermixing with NumPy API calls should generally be done with caution and the user should watch out for overheads of copying data. Interleaving TensorFlow NumPy calls with TensorFlow calls is generally safe and avoids copying data. See the section on TensorFlow interoperability for more details.

Operator precedence

TensorFlow NumPy defines an __array_priority__ higher than NumPy's. This means that for operators involving both ND array and np.ndarray, the former will take precedence, i.e., np.ndarray input will get converted to an ND array and the TensorFlow NumPy implementation of the operator will get invoked.


x = tnp.ones([2]) + np.ones([2])
print("x = %s\nclass = %s" % (x, x.__class__))



x = tf.Tensor([2. 2.], shape=(2,), dtype=float64)
class = <class 'tensorflow.python.framework.ops.EagerTensor'>
