class tf.contrib.framework.VariableDeviceChooser

See the guide: Framework (contrib) > Variables

Device chooser for variables.

When using a parameter server it will assign them in a round-robin fashion. When not using a parameter server it allows GPU or CPU placement.

Methods

__init__(num_tasks=0, job_name='ps', device_type='CPU', device_index=0)

Initialize VariableDeviceChooser.

Usage:

To use with 2 parameter servers: VariableDeviceChooser(2)

To use without parameter servers: VariableDeviceChooser() VariableDeviceChooser(device_type='GPU') # For GPU placement

Args:

• num_tasks: number of tasks.
• job_name: String, a name for the parameter server job.
• device_type: Optional device type string (e.g. "CPU" or "GPU")
• device_index: int. Optional device index. If left unspecified, device represents 'any' device_index.
