X Protocol Research Updates
X Protocol team is using a new technique to build metaverse scenarios, which is called Tiny CUDA Neural Networks. At the same time, this technique will optimize game lags.
What is Tiny CUDA Neural Networks?
This is a small, self-contained framework for training and querying neural networks. Most notably, it contains a lightning fast “fully fused” multi-layer perceptron (technical paper), a versatile multiresolution hash encoding (technical paper), as well as support for various other input encodings, losses, and optimizers.
Performance
Fully fused networks vs. TensorFlow v2.5.0 w/ XLA. Measured on 64 (solid line) and 128 (dashed line) neurons wide multi-layer perceptrons on an RTX 3090. Generated by benchmarks/bench_ours.cu and benchmarks/bench_tensorflow.py using data/config_oneblob.json.
Usage
Tiny CUDA neural networks have a simple C++/CUDA API:
#include <tiny-cuda-nn/common.h>
// Configure the model
nlohmann::json config = {
{“loss”, {
{“otype”, “L2”}
}},
{“optimizer”, {
{“otype”, “Adam”},
{“learning_rate”, 1e-3},
}},
{“encoding”, {
{“otype”, “HashGrid”},
{“n_levels”, 16},
{“n_features_per_level”, 2},
{“log2_hashmap_size”, 19},
{“base_resolution”, 16},
{“per_level_scale”, 2.0},
}},
{“network”, {
{“otype”, “FullyFusedMLP”},
{“activation”, “ReLU”},
{“output_activation”, “None”},
{“n_neurons”, 64},
{“n_hidden_layers”, 2},
}},
};
using namespace tcnn;
auto model = create_from_config(n_input_dims, n_output_dims, config);
// Train the model
GPUMatrix<float> training_batch_inputs(n_input_dims, batch_size);
GPUMatrix<float> training_batch_targets(n_output_dims, batch_size);
for (int i = 0; i < n_training_steps; ++i) {
generate_training_batch(&training_batch_inputs, &training_batch_targets); // ← your code
float loss;
model.trainer->training_step(training_batch_inputs, training_batch_targets, &loss);
std::cout << “iteration=” << i << “ loss=” << loss << std::endl;
}
// Use the model
GPUMatrix<float> inference_inputs(n_input_dims, batch_size);
generate_inputs(&inference_inputs); // ← your code
GPUMatrix<float> inference_outputs(n_output_dims, batch_size);
model.network->inference(inference_inputs, inference_outputs);
Example: learning a 2D image
We provide a sample application where an image function (x,y) -> (R,G,B) is learned. It can be run via
tiny-cuda-nn/build$ ./mlp_learning_an_image ../data/images/albert.jpg ../data/config_hash.json
producing an image every 1000 training steps. Each 1000 steps should take roughly 0.42 seconds with the default configuration on an RTX 3090.
With this technique, all nodes (users) can upload photos, and the algorithm will continue to learn and calculate, so as to combine these photos into a new 3D object, For example: these photos can be of different angle such as the front, side, front, back, top and bottom of a building, and eventually a complete three-dimensional building will be obtained.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology contributes to the research. By using artificial intelligence, which is inseparable from neural networks, the X Metaverse scenes will be continuously refined and evolved, allowing all users to participate in this building process.
Stay tuned! We believe that this technique will bring you a better Metaverse experience!
