Anyway to work with Keras in Mac with AMD GPU?

问题

I have a MacBook Pro with AMD processor and I want to run Keras (Tensorflow backend) in this GPU. I came to know Keras only works with NVIDIA GPUs. What is the workaround (if possible)?

回答1:

You can OpenCL library to overcome this. I have tested it and it is working fine for me.

Note: I have python version 3.7 and I will be using pip3 for package installation.

Steps:

Install OpenCL package with the following command

pip3 install pyopencl
Install PlaidML library using following command

pip3 install pip install plaidml-keras
Run setup for PlaidML. While setup you might get a prompt to select your GPU. If setup went correctly, you will get a success message at the end.

plaidml-setup
Install plaidbench to test plaidml on your GPU.

pip3 install plaidbench
Test it. If everything went well till here you will get benchmark scores.

Now we have to set an environment path. Put this at the top of your code.

import os
os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "plaidml.keras.backend"

os.environ["RUNFILES_DIR"] = "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/share/plaidml"
# plaidml might exist in different location. Look for "/usr/local/share/plaidml" and replace in above path

os.environ["PLAIDML_NATIVE_PATH"] = "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/libplaidml.dylib"
# libplaidml.dylib might exist in different location. Look for "/usr/local/lib/libplaidml.dylib" and replace in above path

Test in actual code. Use keras instead of tensorflow.keras in your code and run the following. (keras is installed in step 2 which runs in GPU)

import os

# IMPORTANT: PATH MIGHT BE DIFFERENT. SEE STEP 6
os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "plaidml.keras.backend"
os.environ["RUNFILES_DIR"] = "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/share/plaidml"
os.environ["PLAIDML_NATIVE_PATH"] = "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/libplaidml.dylib"

# Don't use tensorflow.keras anywhere, instead use keras
import keras
from keras.datasets import mnist
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense, Dropout, Flatten
from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D
from keras import backend as K
batch_size = 128
num_classes = 10
epochs = 12
# input image dimensions
img_rows, img_cols = 28, 28
# the data, split between train and test sets
(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()
if K.image_data_format() == 'channels_first':
    x_train = x_train.reshape(x_train.shape[0], 1, img_rows, img_cols)
    x_test = x_test.reshape(x_test.shape[0], 1, img_rows, img_cols)
    input_shape = (1, img_rows, img_cols)
else:
    x_train = x_train.reshape(x_train.shape[0], img_rows, img_cols, 1)
    x_test = x_test.reshape(x_test.shape[0], img_rows, img_cols, 1)
    input_shape = (img_rows, img_cols, 1)
x_train = x_train.astype('float32')
x_test = x_test.astype('float32')
x_train /= 255
x_test /= 255
print('x_train shape:', x_train.shape)
print(x_train.shape[0], 'train samples')
print(x_test.shape[0], 'test samples')
# convert class vectors to binary class matrices
y_train = keras.utils.to_categorical(y_train, num_classes)
y_test = keras.utils.to_categorical(y_test, num_classes)
model = Sequential()
model.add(Conv2D(32, kernel_size=(3, 3),
                 activation='relu',
                 input_shape=input_shape))
model.add(Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2)))
model.add(Dropout(0.25))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(128, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
model.add(Dense(num_classes, activation='softmax'))
model.compile(loss=keras.losses.categorical_crossentropy,
              optimizer=keras.optimizers.Adadelta(),
              metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(x_train, y_train,
          batch_size=batch_size,
          epochs=epochs,
          verbose=1,
          validation_data=(x_test, y_test))
score = model.evaluate(x_test, y_test, verbose=0)
print('Test loss:', score[0])
print('Test accuracy:', score[1])

When you run this you will get

Using plaidml.keras.backend backend.
INFO:plaidml:Opening device "metal_intel(r)_iris(tm)_graphics_6100.0"
# or whatever GPU you selected in step 3

which confirms that you are running it in GPU.
