The series “Profiling in PyTorch” is meant to make you comfortable reading profiler traces and tables. In Part 1 we profiled basic math operations like addition and multiplication. We saw how the profiler table uncovers hotspots, and how the profiler trace shows the order in which an algorithm runs over time. In Part 2 we…
