Description
Context
Using deterministic algorithms can improve reproducibility.
Problem
The non-deterministic algorithm cannot produce repeatable results, which is inconvenient for debugging.
Solution
Some libraries provide APIs for developers to use the deterministic algorithm. In PyTorch, it is suggested to set torch.use_deterministic_algorithms(True)
when debugging. However, the application will perform slower if this option is set, so it is suggested not to use it in the deployment stage.
