Eager Mode

Note

New in version 0.2.0a2

Mars supports eager mode which makes it friendly for developing and easy to debug.

Users can enable the eager mode by options, set options at the beginning of the program or console session.

>>> from mars.config import options
>>> options.eager_mode = True

Or use a context.

>>> from mars.config import option_context

>>> with option_context() as options:
>>>     options.eager_mode = True
>>>     # the eager mode is on only for the with statement
>>>     ...

If eager mode is on, tensor will be executed immediately by default session once it is created.

>>> import mars.tensor as mt
>>> from mars.config import options
>>> options.eager_mode = True
>>> t = mt.arange(6).reshape((2, 3))
>>> print(t)
Tensor(op=TensorRand, shape=(2, 3), data=
[[0 1 2]
[3 4 5]])

Use fetch to obtain numpy value from a tensor:

>>> t.fetch()
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 4, 5]])
