torch.nn.utils.clip_grads_with_norm_

torch.nn.utils.clip_grads_with_norm_(parameters, max_norm, total_norm, foreach=None) [source]

Scale the gradients of an iterable of parameters given a pre-calculated total norm and desired max norm.

The gradients will be scaled by the following calculation

$$grad = grad * \min(\frac{max\_norm}{total\_norm + 1e-6}, 1)$$

Gradients are modified in-place.

Note: The scale coefficient is clamped to a maximum of 1.0 to prevent gradient amplification. This ensures that gradients are only scaled down when the total norm exceeds max_norm.

This function is equivalent to torch.nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_() with a pre-calculated total norm.

Parameters

• parameters (Iterable[Tensor] or Tensor) – an iterable of Tensors or a single Tensor that will have gradients normalized
• max_norm (float) – max norm of the gradients
• total_norm (Tensor) – total norm of the gradients to use for clipping
• foreach (bool) – use the faster foreach-based implementation. If None, use the foreach implementation for CUDA and CPU native tensors and silently fall back to the slow implementation for other device types. Default: None

Returns

None

Return type

None
