Blocks examples
This repository contains a series of scripts, examples, models, etc. that can serve as a guide or inspiration when getting started with Blocks. To get started simply clone this repository and hack away at the scripts provided.
$ git clone [email protected]:mila-udem/blocks-examples.git
Running the examples
To pick the simplest example first, one this repository has been downloaded,
cd
into it, and
python -m sqrt --num-batches 1000 sqrt/saved_state
Technical Note
Executing this command line will run the code in the sqrt
module : specifically the command-line argument parser in
the sqrt/__main__.py
file. Having the main entry point here is
mostly a quirk of the Python module system - we wanted to keep the
launching command as simple as possible.
Understanding the examples
The entry point of each example is main()
function in EXAMPLE-NAME/__init__.py
.
We're currently working on getting better documentation coverage of the
examples, and GitHub will helpfully display the contents of each
folder's README
file.
There's also certainly useful information in the blocks
and fuel
documentation :
Examples of projects using Blocks
We host only standard and relatively compact examples here. For more advanced and real-world examples see the following project, all of which heavily use Blocks:
