Implement Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Module Between GFlowNet and Reward Function
This PR introduces an inter-process communication (IPC) module that enables reward computation in a separate process from GFlowNet.
Implementation Details
The implementation includes three key classes (
gflownet.utils.communication):IPCModule– A core module for communication between GFlowNet and the reward function.IPCTask– A GFlowNet task withIPCModule.RewardModule– A reward function withIPCModule.Supported IPC Methods
The current implementation supports three IPC methods:
NetworkIPC– Uses a TCP/IP protocol (without file system). Recommended.FileSystemIPC– Uses the file system with serialized data. Recommended.FileSystemIPC_CSV– Uses the file system (csv format). It may be useful for non-Python reward functions or human feedback integration.User can setup IPC at
config.communication.There are two example scripts:
src/gflownet/tasks/seh_frag_ipc.py,src/gflownet/tasks/seh_frag_moo_ipc.pyImpact on Existing Code
This PR introduces minimal changes to the existing codebase. The key differences compared to the latest trunk are:
