2024.12.0
What's Changed
This release contains many internal changes for ACE code. However, all configuration options accessible by the entrypoints of the fme package (i.e. fme.ace.train, fme.ace.inference and fme.ace.evaluator) have had no breaking changes.
The following lists are not complete but just a highlight of changes which may be relevant to users.
Bug fixes:
- resolved transient bug that sometimes occurred in
XarrayDatasetwhen trying to read the image shape from a scalar field - when using
n_repeatsgreater than 1,XarrayDatasetnow correctly increments the values in the returnedtimearrays
New features:
- ACE works on Apple Silicon! Set the environmental variable
FME_USE_MPS=1to use the pytorch MPS backend. Make sure to have the latest version of pytorch installed. This gives about a 5x speed up over running on CPU (tested on a Macbook Pro M3 Max). - add perturbations to sea surface temperature during inference (see
ForcingDataLoaderConfig.perturbations)
Refactors:
- deduplicated some inference code by using generics. Now the
fme.ace.inferenceandfme.ace.evaluatorentrypoints now share more code.
