Zero-Cost Predictor - Run on all 15,625 architecture for NasBench201
alec-flowers opened this issue · comments
Hi, I wanted to test a Zero-Cost Predictor on all 15,625 architectures for NASBench201. In the NAS-Bench-Suite-Zero paper you state that you did this for all the architectures -
For all NAS-Bench-201 and TransNAS-Bench-101 tasks, we evaluate all ZC proxy values and the respective runtimes, for all architectures
But I am running across some issues. In the predictor_config.yaml it only has an option for random sampling of architectures with the parameter uniform_random.
I wrote my own code to exhaustively sample all architectures using naslib.search_spaces.nasbench201.graph.get_arch_iterator(). However, PredictorEvaluator.load_dataset() then loads 15,625 graphs into a list, which around 6,000 architectures in, requires too much memory for my computer. I wanted to see if I was going about this the best way or if there was a better way.
Thanks.
Thank you for your interest in our project! You'll find that all the code relating to zero cost proxies are in the zerocost
branch. You can edit this runner file to run your proxies on all the nb201 models.
Best,
