我使用Tensorflow进行一些非DL计算，并且我遇到了一个我不明白的行为。我本身测试方阵的乘法：tf.matmul(a,a)：Tensorflow乘法的常数性能比tf.random低
- 时tf.constant
- 创建矩阵在矩阵是在每次运行随机初始化
我的期望是第一种情况应该有一些开销来传输初始数据，100 MB（使用float32的5000x5000矩阵），但是由于每次运行时进行随机初始化，第二种情况的执行速度应稍慢。
但是，我看到的是，即使在同一会话中连续运行，常数的乘法速度也要慢很多。
代码
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
from timeit import timeit
import os
os.environ["TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL"]="2" # nospam
SIZE = 5000
NUM_RUNS = 10
a = np.random.random((SIZE, SIZE))
_const_a = tf.constant(a, dtype=tf.float32, name="Const_A")
_mul_const_a = tf.matmul(_const_a, _const_a, name="Mul_Const")
_random_a = tf.random_uniform((SIZE, SIZE), dtype=tf.float32, name="Random_A")
_mul_random_a = tf.matmul(_random_a, _random_a, name="Mul_Random")
with tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True)) as s:
# Run once to make sure everything is initialised
s.run((_const_a, _mul_const_a, _random_a, _mul_random_a))
# timeit
print("TF with const\t", timeit(lambda: s.run((_mul_const_a.op)), number=NUM_RUNS))
print("TF with random\t", timeit(lambda: s.run((_mul_random_a.op)), number=NUM_RUNS))
输出
