Global step counters

Usage

get_global_step(increment = TRUE)

set_global_step(step)

Arguments

increment: Wether to increment the step when getting it.
step: New value for step.

Value

The global step value for the default logdir, when get_global_step, otherwise returns NULL invisibly.

Details

tfevents tracks and automatically increased the step counter whenever log_event() is called. Note that, it maintains a separate step counter for each root logdir, thus if you change the logdir using set_default_logdir() or with_logdir(), a different step counter will be used.

Functions

set_global_step(): Set the global step.

Examples

temp <- tempfile()
with_logdir(temp, {
  print(get_global_step())
  set_global_step(100)
  print(get_global_step())
})
#> [1] 0
#> [1] 101
print(get_global_step())
#> [1] 0
