If you are not already using ClearML, see [Getting Started](../getting_started/ds/ds_first_steps.md) for setup
|
||
instructions.

|
||
|
||
ClearML integrates with [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) out-of-the-box, automatically logging its models,
|
||
definitions, scalars, as well as TensorBoard outputs.
|
||
|
||
All you have to do is simply add two lines of code to your TensorFlow script:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from clearml import Task
|
||
task = Task.init(task_name="<task_name>", project_name="<project_name>")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And that’s it! This creates a [ClearML Task](../fundamentals/task.md) which captures:
|
||
* Source code and uncommitted changes
|
||
* Installed packages
|
||
* TensorFlow definitions
|
||
* TensorFlow model files
|
||
* [TensorBoard](https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard) outputs (see example [here](https://clear.ml/docs/latest/docs/guides/frameworks/tensorflow/tensorboard_toy/))
|
||
* Scalars (loss, learning rates)
|
||
* Console output
|
||
* General details such as machine details, runtime, creation date etc.
|
||
* And more
|
||
|
||
You can view all the task details in the [WebApp](../webapp/webapp_overview.md).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Automatic Logging Control
|
||
By default, when ClearML is integrated into your TensorFlow script, it captures TensorFlow definitions, models, and
|
||
scalars. But, you may want to have more control over what your experiment logs.
|
||
|
||
To control a task's framework logging, use the `auto_connect_frameworks` parameter of [`Task.init()`](../references/sdk/task.md#taskinit).
|
||
Completely disable all automatic logging by setting the parameter to `False`. For finer grained control of logged
|
||
frameworks, input a dictionary, with framework-boolean pairs.
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
auto_connect_frameworks={
|
||
'tensorflow': False, 'matplotlib': True, 'tensorboard': False, 'pytorch': True,
|
||
'xgboost': False, 'scikit': True, 'fastai': True, 'lightgbm': False,
|
||
'hydra': True, 'detect_repository': True, 'tfdefines': True, 'joblib': True,
|
||
'megengine': True, 'jsonargparse': True, 'catboost': True
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also input wildcards as dictionary values, so ClearML will log a model created by a framework only if its local
|
||
path matches at least one wildcard.
|
||
|
||
For example, in the code below, ClearML will log TensorFlow models only if their paths have the `.pt` extension. The
|
||
unspecified frameworks' values default to true so all their models are automatically logged.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
auto_connect_frameworks={'tensorflow' : '*.pt'}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Manual Logging
|
||
To augment its automatic logging, ClearML also provides an explicit logging interface.
|
||
|
||
See more information about explicitly logging information to a ClearML Task:
|
||
* [Models](../clearml_sdk/model_sdk.md#manually-logging-models)
|
||
* [Configuration](../clearml_sdk/task_sdk.md#configuration) (e.g. parameters, configuration files)
|
||
* [Artifacts](../clearml_sdk/task_sdk.md#artifacts) (e.g. output files or python objects created by a task)
|
||
* [Scalars](../clearml_sdk/task_sdk.md#scalars)
|
||
* [Text/Plots/Debug Samples](../fundamentals/logger.md#manual-reporting)
|
||
|
||
See [Explicit Reporting Tutorial](../guides/reporting/explicit_reporting.md).
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
Take a look at ClearML’s TensorFlow examples. The examples use TensorFlow and ClearML in different configurations with
|
||
additional tools, like Abseil and TensorBoard:
|
||
|
||
* [TensorFlow MNIST](../guides/frameworks/tensorflow/tensorflow_mnist.md) - Demonstrates ClearML's automatic logging of
|
||
model checkpoints, TensorFlow definitions, and scalars logged using TensorFlow methods
|
||
* [TensorBoard PR Curve](../guides/frameworks/tensorflow/tensorboard_pr_curve.md) - Demonstrates ClearML’s automatic
|
||
logging of TensorBoard output and TensorFlow definitions.
|
||
* [TensorBoard Toy](../guides/frameworks/tensorflow/tensorboard_toy.md) - Demonstrates ClearML’s automatic logging of
|
||
TensorBoard scalars, histograms, images, and text, as well as all console output and TensorFlow Definitions.
|
||
* [Absl flags](https://github.com/allegroai/clearml/blob/master/examples/frameworks/tensorflow/absl_flags.py) - Demonstrates
|
||
ClearML’s automatic logging of parameters defined using `absl.flags`
|
||
|
||
## Remote Execution
|
||
ClearML logs all the information required to reproduce an experiment on a different machine (installed packages,
|
||
uncommitted changes etc.). The [ClearML Agent](../clearml_agent) listens to designated queues and when a task is enqueued,
|
||
the agent pulls it, recreates its execution environment, and runs it, reporting its scalars, plots, etc. to the
|
||
experiment manager.
|
||
|
||
Deploy a ClearML Agent onto any machine (e.g. a cloud VM, a local GPU machine, your own laptop) by simply running the
|
||
following command on it:
|
||
|
||
```commandline
|
||
clearml-agent daemon --queue <queues_to_listen_to> [--docker]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Use the ClearML [Autoscalers](../cloud_autoscaling/autoscaling_overview.md) to help you manage cloud workloads in the
|
||
cloud of your choice (AWS, GCP, Azure) and automatically deploy ClearML agents: the autoscaler automatically spins up
|
||
and shuts down instances as needed, according to a resource budget that you set.
|
||
|
||
### Cloning, Editing, and Enqueuing
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use ClearML's web interface to edit task details, like configuration parameters or input models, then execute the task
|
||
with the new configuration on a remote machine:
|
||
|
||
* Clone the experiment
|
||
* Edit the hyperparameters and/or other details
|
||
* Enqueue the task
|
||
|
||
The ClearML Agent executing the task will use the new values to [override any hard coded values](../clearml_agent).
|
||
|
||
### Executing a Task Remotely
|
||
|
||
You can set a task to be executed remotely programmatically by adding [`Task.execute_remotely()`](../references/sdk/task.md#execute_remotely)
|
||
to your script. This method stops the current local execution of the task, and then enqueues it to a specified queue to
|
||
re-run it on a remote machine.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# If executed locally, process will terminate, and a copy will be executed by an agent instead
|
||
task.execute_remotely(queue_name='default', exit_process=True)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Hyperparameter Optimization
|
||
Use ClearML’s [`HyperParameterOptimizer`](../references/sdk/hpo_optimization_hyperparameteroptimizer.md) class to find
|
||
the hyperparameter values that yield the best performing models. See [Hyperparameter Optimization](../fundamentals/hpo.md)
|
||
for more information.
