This repository contains a series of scripts, examples, models, etc. that can serve as a guide or inspiration when getting started with Blocks. To get started simply clone this repository and hack away at the scripts provided.
$ git clone git@github.com:mila-udem/blocks-examples.git
To pick the simplest example first, one this repository has been downloaded, cd
into it, and :
python -m sqrt --num-batches 1000 sqrt/saved_state
Executing this command line will run the code in the sqrt
module : specifically the command-line argument parser in the sqrt/__main__.py
file. Having the main entry point here is mostly a quirk of the Python module system - we wanted to keep the launching command as simple as possible.
The bulk of the blocks
code consists of 'plain functions' that are launched from the main()
function in each folder : EXAMPLE-NAME/__init__.py
.
We're currently working on getting better documentation coverage of the examples, and GitHub will helpfully display the contents of each folder's README
file.
There's also certainly useful information in the blocks
and fuel
documentation :
