This PR focus on refactor of logging method to solve bug of nan reward and log interval. After these two pr, hopefully fundamental change of tianshou/data is finished. We then can concentrate on building benchmarks of tianshou finally.
Things changed:
1. trainer now accepts logger (BasicLogger or LazyLogger) instead of writer;
2. remove utils.SummaryWriter;
This PR focus on some definition change of trainer to make it more friendly to use and be consistent with typical usage in research papers, typically change `collect-per-step` to `step-per-collect`, add `update-per-step` / `episode-per-collect` accordingly, and modify the documentation.
This is the third PR of 6 commits mentioned in #274, which features refactor of Collector to fix#245. You can check #274 for more detail.
Things changed in this PR:
1. refactor collector to be more cleaner, split AsyncCollector to support asyncvenv;
2. change buffer.add api to add(batch, bffer_ids); add several types of buffer (VectorReplayBuffer, PrioritizedVectorReplayBuffer, etc.)
3. add policy.exploration_noise(act, batch) -> act
4. small change in BasePolicy.compute_*_returns
5. move reward_metric from collector to trainer
6. fix np.asanyarray issue (different version's numpy will result in different output)
7. flake8 maxlength=88
8. polish docs and fix test

This is the first commit of 6 commits mentioned in #274, which features
1. Refactor of `Class Net` to support any form of MLP.
2. Enable type check in utils.network.
3. Relative change in docs/test/examples.
4. Move atari-related network to examples/atari/atari_network.py

Training FPS improvement (base commit is 94bfb32):
test_pdqn: 1660 (without numba) -> 1930
discrete/test_ppo: 5100 -> 5170
since nstep has little impact on overall performance, the unit test result is:
GAE: 4.1s -> 0.057s
nstep: 0.3s -> 0.15s (little improvement)
Others:
- fix a bug in ttt set_eps
- keep only sumtree in segment tree implementation
- dirty fix for asyncVenv check_id test
1. add policy.eval() in all test scripts' "watch performance"
2. remove dict return support for collector preprocess_fn
3. add `__contains__` and `pop` in batch: `key in batch`, `batch.pop(key, deft)`
4. exact n_episode for a list of n_episode limitation and save fake data in cache_buffer when self.buffer is None (#184)
5. fix tensorboard logging: h-axis stands for env step instead of gradient step; add test results into tensorboard
6. add test_returns (both GAE and nstep)
7. change the type-checking order in batch.py and converter.py in order to meet the most often case first
8. fix shape inconsistency for torch.Tensor in replay buffer
9. remove `**kwargs` in ReplayBuffer
10. remove default value in batch.split() and add merge_last argument (#185)
11. improve nstep efficiency
12. add max_batchsize in onpolicy algorithms
13. potential bugfix for subproc.wait
14. fix RecurrentActorProb
15. improve the code-coverage (from 90% to 95%) and remove the dead code
16. fix some incorrect type annotation
The above improvement also increases the training FPS: on my computer, the previous version is only ~1800 FPS and after that, it can reach ~2050 (faster than v0.2.4.post1).
- Refacor code to remove duplicate code
- Enable async simulation for all vector envs
- Remove `collector.close` and rename `VectorEnv` to `DummyVectorEnv`
The abstraction of vector env changed.
Prior to this pr, each vector env is almost independent.
After this pr, each env is wrapped into a worker, and vector envs differ with their worker type. In fact, users can just use `BaseVectorEnv` with different workers, I keep `SubprocVectorEnv`, `ShmemVectorEnv` for backward compatibility.
