DominoSearch
This is repository for codes and models of NeurIPS2021 paper - DominoSearch: Find layer-wise fine-grained N:M sparse schemes from dense neural networks
Instructions and other materials will be released soon.
Search:
git clone https://github.com/NM-sparsity/DominoSearch.git
cd DominoSearch/DominoSearch/search/script_resnet_ImageNet
We provide several search scripts for different sparse-ratio target, you can specify your own target and change the parameters accordingly. Note, you need to first specify your ImageNet dataset path
The searching phase could take 2-3 hours, then you will get searched schemes stored in a txt file, which will be needed as input for mixed-sparsity training.
Below is an example of output formate.

Train:
After getting the layer-wise sparse schemes, we need to fine-tune with the schemes to recover the accuracy. The training code is based on NM-sparsity, where we made some changes to support flexible N:M schemes.
Below is an example of training layer-wise sparse resnet50 with 80% overall sparsity.
cd DominoSearch\DominoSearch\train\classification_sparsity_level\train_imagenet
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 ../train_imagenet.py --config ./configs/config_resnet50.yaml --base_lr 0.01 --decay 0.0005 --epochs 120 --schemes_file ./schemes/resnet50_M16_0.80.txt --model_dir ./resnet50/resnet50_0.80_M16
