tf.distribute.ReductionToOneDevice

Always do reduction to one device first and then do broadcasting.

tf.distribute.ReductionToOneDevice(
    reduce_to_device=None, accumulation_fn=None
)

Batch reduction is done by reduction on each element one by one.

  mirrored_strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy(
    cross_device_ops=tf.distribute.ReductionToOneDevice())

Args
`reduce_to_device`	the intermediate device to reduce to. If None, reduce to the first device in `destinations` of the `reduce()` method.
`accumulation_fn`	a function that does accumulation. If None, then `tf.math.add_n` is used.

Methods

batch_reduce(
    reduce_op, value_destination_pairs, experimental_hints=None
)

Reduce PerReplica objects in a batch.

Reduce each first element in value_destination_pairs to each second element which indicates the destinations.

This can be faster than multiple individual reduces because we can fuse several tensors into one or multiple packs before reduction.

Args
`reduce_op`	An instance of `tf.distribute.ReduceOp` that indicates how the `per_replica_value` will be reduced.
`value_destination_pairs`	A list or a tuple of PerReplica objects (or tensors with device set if there is one device) and destinations.
`experimental_hints`	A `tf.distrbute.experimental.CollectiveHints`. Hints to perform collective operations.

Returns
a list of Mirrored objects.

Raises
`ValueError`	if `value_destination_pairs` is not an iterable of tuples of PerReplica objects and destinations.

broadcast(
    tensor, destinations
)

Broadcast the tensor to destinations.

Args
`tensor`	the tensor to broadcast.
`destinations`	the broadcast destinations.

Returns
a Mirrored object.

reduce(
    reduce_op, per_replica_value, destinations, experimental_hints=None
)

Reduce per_replica_value to destinations.

It runs the reduction operation defined by reduce_op and put the result on destinations.

Args
`reduce_op`	An instance of `tf.distribute.ReduceOp` that indicates how per_replica_value will be reduced.
`per_replica_value`	A PerReplica object or a tensor with device set.
`destinations`	the reduction destinations.
`experimental_hints`	A `tf.distrbute.experimental.CollectiveHints`. Hints to perform collective operations.

Returns
a Mirrored object.

Raises
`ValueError`	if per_replica_value can't be converted to a PerReplica object or if destinations aren't strings, Variables or DistributedValues
