serialize_program¶

paddle.static. serialize_program ( feed_vars, fetch_vars, **kwargs ) [source]

Api_attr

Static Graph

Serialize default main program according to feed_vars and fetch_vars.

Parameters

• feed_vars (Variable | list[Variable]) – Variables needed by inference.

• fetch_vars (Variable | list[Variable]) – Variables returned by inference.

• kwargs – Supported keys including ‘program’.Attention please, kwargs is used for backward compatibility mainly. - program(Program): specify a program if you don’t want to use default main program.

Returns

serialized program.

Return type

bytes

Raises

• ValueError – If feed_vars is not a Variable or a list of Variable, an exception is thrown.

• ValueError – If fetch_vars is not a Variable or a list of Variable, an exception is thrown.

Examples

import paddle

paddle.enable_static()

path_prefix = "./infer_model"

# User defined network, here a softmax regession example
image = paddle.static.data(name='img', shape=[None, 28, 28], dtype='float32')
label = paddle.static.data(name='label', shape=[None, 1], dtype='int64')
predict = paddle.static.nn.fc(image, 10, activation='softmax')

loss = paddle.nn.functional.cross_entropy(predict, label)

exe = paddle.static.Executor(paddle.CPUPlace())
exe.run(paddle.static.default_startup_program())

# serialize the default main program to bytes.
serialized_program = paddle.static.serialize_program([image], [predict])

# deserialize bytes to program
deserialized_program = paddle.static.deserialize_program(serialized_program)
