Session

public final class Session

Driver for Graph execution.

A Session instance encapsulates the environment in which Operations in a Graph are executed to compute Tensors. For example: 

// Let's say graph is an instance of the Graph class
 // for the computation y = 3 * x

 try (Session s = new Session(graph)) {
   try (Tensor x = Tensor.create(2.0f);
       Tensor y = s.runner().feed("x", x).fetch("y").run().get(0)) {
       System.out.println(y.floatValue());  // Will print 6.0f
   
   try (Tensor x = Tensor.create(1.1f);
       Tensor y = s.runner().feed("x", x).fetch("y").run().get(0)) {
       System.out.println(y.floatValue());  // Will print 3.3f
   }
 }
 }

WARNING:A Session owns resources that must be explicitly freed by invoking close().

Instances of a Session are thread-safe.

Nested Classes

class Session.Run Output tensors and metadata obtained when executing a session. 
class Session.Runner Run Operations and evaluate Tensors. 

Public Constructors

Session(Graph g)

Public Methods

void
close()

void
restore(String prefix)
Restore the actual state of the variables of this session's graph.
void
run(Op op)
Executes an operation in the graph.
void
run(String opName)
Executes an operation in the graph with the given name.
void
runInit()
Execute the graph's initializers.
Session.Runner
runner()
Create a Runner to execute graph operations and evaluate Tensors.
void
save(String prefix)

Inherited Methods

Public Constructors

public Session (Graph g)

Construct a new session with the associated Graph.

Parameters
g The Graph the created Session will operate on.

public Session (Graph g, ConfigProto config)

Construct a new session with the associated Graph and configuration options.

Parameters
g The Graph the created Session will operate on.
config Configuration parameters for the session specified as a ConfigProto protocol buffer.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the config is not a valid serialization of the ConfigProto protocol buffer.

Public Methods

public void close ()

Release resources associated with the Session.

Blocks until there are no active executions (run() calls). A Session is not usable after close returns.

public void restore (String prefix)

Restore the actual state of the variables of this session's graph.

prefix is the path where the files containing the variables state live, followed by the filename prefix. For example, if prefix is set to mymodel/myvariables/variables, then the files are loaded from mymodel/myvariables and named variables.data-*-of-*

Note that this method might alter the underlying graph if it is the first time that one of its sessions is saved, see ERROR(/Graph#saverDef()) for more details.

Parameters
prefix prefix to restore from

public void run (Op op)

Executes an operation in the graph.

This method is equivalent to session.runner().addTarget(op).run().

Parameters
op the operation to run.

public void run (String opName)

Executes an operation in the graph with the given name.

This method is equivalent to session.runner().addTarget(opName).run().

Parameters
opName name of the operation to run.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if no operation of that name can be found in the graph

public void runInit ()

Execute the graph's initializers.

This method is equivalent to session.run(Ops.create(session.graph).init()).

public Session.Runner runner ()

Create a Runner to execute graph operations and evaluate Tensors.

public void save (String prefix)

Saves the actual state of the variables of this session's graph.

prefix is a path where the files containing the variables state will be saved, followed by a prefix for naming these files. For example, if prefix is set to mymodel/myvariables/variables, then the generated files will be located under mymodel/myvariables and named variables.data-*-of-*

Note that this method might alter the underlying graph if it is the first time that one of its sessions is saved, see ERROR(/Graph#saverDef()) for more details.

Parameters
prefix prefix to the variable files to save
