Getting Started with Ray
------------------------
Check out :ref:`gentle-intro` to learn more about Ray and its ecosystem of libraries that enable things like distributed hyperparameter tuning,
reinforcement learning, and distributed training.
Ray provides Python, Java, and *EXPERIMENTAL* C++ API. And Ray uses Tasks (functions) and Actors (Classes) to allow you to parallelize your code.
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Python
.. code-block:: python
# First, run `pip install ray`.
import ray
ray.init()
@ray.remote
def f(x):
return x * x
futures = [f.remote(i) for i in range(4)]
print(ray.get(futures)) # [0, 1, 4, 9]
@ray.remote
class Counter(object):
def __init__(self):
self.n = 0
def increment(self):
self.n += 1
def read(self):
return self.n
counters = [Counter.remote() for i in range(4)]
[c.increment.remote() for c in counters]
futures = [c.read.remote() for c in counters]
print(ray.get(futures)) # [1, 1, 1, 1]
.. group-tab:: Java
First, add the `ray-api <https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.ray/ray-api>`__ and `ray-runtime <https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.ray/ray-runtime>`__ dependencies in your project.
.. code-block:: java
import io.ray.api.ActorHandle;
import io.ray.api.ObjectRef;
import io.ray.api.Ray;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class RayDemo {
public static int square(int x) {
return x * x;
}
public static class Counter {
private int value = 0;
public void increment() {
this.value += 1;
}
public int read() {
return this.value;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Intialize Ray runtime.
Ray.init();
{
List<ObjectRef<Integer>> objectRefList = new ArrayList<>();
// Invoke the `square` method 4 times remotely as Ray tasks.
// The tasks will run in parallel in the background.
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
objectRefList.add(Ray.task(RayDemo::square, i).remote());
}
// Get the actual results of the tasks with `get`.
System.out.println(Ray.get(objectRefList)); // [0, 1, 4, 9]
}
{
List<ActorHandle<Counter>> counters = new ArrayList<>();
// Create 4 actors from the `Counter` class.
// They will run in remote worker processes.
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
counters.add(Ray.actor(Counter::new).remote());
}
// Invoke the `increment` method on each actor.
// This will send an actor task to each remote actor.
for (ActorHandle<Counter> counter : counters) {
counter.task(Counter::increment).remote();
}
// Invoke the `read` method on each actor, and print the results.
List<ObjectRef<Integer>> objectRefList = counters.stream()
.map(counter -> counter.task(Counter::read).remote())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(Ray.get(objectRefList)); // [1, 1, 1, 1]
}
}
}
.. group-tab:: C++
| The C++ Ray API is currently experimental with limited support. You can track its development `here <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/milestone/17>`__ and report issues on GitHub.
| Run the following commands to get started:
| - Install ray with C++ API support and generate a bazel project with the ray command.
.. code-block:: shell
pip install "ray[cpp]"
mkdir ray-template && ray cpp --generate-bazel-project-template-to ray-template
| - The project template comes with a simple example application. You can try this example out in 2 ways:
| - 1. Run the example application directly, which will start a Ray cluster locally.
.. code-block:: shell
cd ray-template && bash run.sh
| - 2. Connect the example application to an existing Ray cluster by specifying the RAY_ADDRESS env var.
.. code-block:: shell
ray start --head
RAY_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:6379 bash run.sh
| - Now you can build your own Ray C++ application based on this project template.
You can also get started by visiting our `Tutorials <https://github.com/ray-project/tutorial>`_. For the latest wheels (nightlies), see the `installation page <installation.html>`__.
