torch.jit.load

torch.jit.load(f, map_location=None, _extra_files=None, _restore_shapes=False)

Load a ScriptModule or ScriptFunction previously saved with torch.jit.save

All previously saved modules, no matter their device, are first loaded onto CPU, and then are moved to the devices they were saved from. If this fails (e.g. because the run time system doesn’t have certain devices), an exception is raised.

Parameters:

• f – a file-like object (has to implement read, readline, tell, and seek), or a string containing a file name

• map_location (string or torch.device) – A simplified version of map_location in torch.jit.save used to dynamically remap storages to an alternative set of devices.

• _extra_files (dictionary of filename to content) – The extra filenames given in the map would be loaded and their content would be stored in the provided map.

• _restore_shapes (bool) – Whether or not to retrace the module on load using stored inputs

Returns:

A ScriptModule object.

Example:

import torch
import io

torch.jit.load('scriptmodule.pt')

# Load ScriptModule from io.BytesIO object
with open('scriptmodule.pt', 'rb') as f:
    buffer = io.BytesIO(f.read())

# Load all tensors to the original device
torch.jit.load(buffer)

# Load all tensors onto CPU, using a device
buffer.seek(0)
torch.jit.load(buffer, map_location=torch.device('cpu'))

# Load all tensors onto CPU, using a string
buffer.seek(0)
torch.jit.load(buffer, map_location='cpu')

# Load with extra files.
extra_files = {'foo.txt': ''}  # values will be replaced with data
torch.jit.load('scriptmodule.pt', _extra_files=extra_files)
print(extra_files['foo.txt'])
