PinMemoryTransform

class torchrl.envs.transforms.PinMemoryTransform

Calls pin_memory on the tensordict to facilitate writing on CUDA devices.

forward(next_tensordict: TensorDictBase) → TensorDictBase

Reads the input tensordict, and for the selected keys, applies the transform.

By default, this method:

• calls directly _apply_transform().

• does not call _step() or _call().

This method is not called within env.step at any point. However, is is called within sample().

Note

forward also works with regular keyword arguments using dispatch to cast the args names to the keys.

Examples

>>> class TransformThatMeasuresBytes(Transform):
...     '''Measures the number of bytes in the tensordict, and writes it under `"bytes"`.'''
...     def __init__(self):
...         super().__init__(in_keys=[], out_keys=["bytes"])
...
...     def forward(self, tensordict: TensorDictBase) -> TensorDictBase:
...         bytes_in_td = tensordict.bytes()
...         tensordict["bytes"] = bytes
...         return tensordict
>>> t = TransformThatMeasuresBytes()
>>> env = env.append_transform(t) # works within envs
>>> t(TensorDict(a=0))  # Works offline too.
