Module dora.grid

This defines the dora grid action, and provides a run_grid() API that can be used from a notebook or any other script.

When using the API, you can provide the equivalent of the command line flags with the RunGridArgs dataclass.

Run a grid search, this is the API underlying the dora grid command, so that it can be used from a notebook. You can also provide patterns to filter out XPs to be displayed.

Args

main : DecoratedMain
main training function, decorated with Dora.
explorer : Explorer
explorer instance that will define the XPs to launch.
grid_name : str

Arguments to tune the behavior of the run_grid() function.

Args

patterns : list[str]
List of patterns used to filter by name the XPs.
monitor : bool
if True, will monitor the advances of the XPs every interval minutes, stopping only when all runs completed or failed.
interval : float
interval in minutes to wait between updates.
trim : int or None
if provided, will trim all XP logs to the epoch of the XP with the provided index. Useful to compare XP started at different times.
trim_last : bool
if True, will trim all XP to the least advanced XP.
silent : bool
if True, do not print anything (e.g. API usage).
dry_run : bool
if True, Dora will simulate the run of the grid, without scheduling or canceling any XP.
cancel : bool
if True, will cancel all XPs in the grid. If patterns is provided, only XP matching the patterns will be canceled.
clear : bool
This will cancel any previous job, clear the XP folder, and reschedule a new experiment.
