Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful framework to train decision-making models in complex dynamical environments. However, RL can be slow as it learns through repeated interaction with a simulation of the environment. Accelerating RL requires both algorithmic and engineering innovations. In particular, there are key systems engineering bottlenecks when using RL in complex environments that feature multiple agents or high-dimensional state, observation, or action spaces, for example. We present WarpDrive, a flexible, lightweight, and easy-to-use open-source RL framework that implements end-to-end multi-agent RL on a single GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), building on PyCUDA and PyTorch. Using the extreme parallelization capability of GPUs, WarpDrive enables orders-of-magnitude faster RL compared to common implementations that blend CPU simulations and GPU models. Our design runs simulations and the agents in each simulation in parallel. It eliminates data copying between CPU and GPU. It also uses a single simulation data store on the GPU that is safely updated in-place. Together, this allows the user to run thousands of concurrent multi-agent simulations and train on extremely large batches of experience. For example, WarpDrive yields 2.9 million environment steps/second with 2000 environments and 1000 agents (at least 100x higher throughput compared to a CPU implementation) in a benchmark Tag simulation. WarpDrive provides a lightweight Python interface and environment wrappers to simplify usage and promote flexibility and extensions. As such, WarpDrive provides a framework for building high-throughput RL systems.
Multi-agent reinforcement learning systems aim to provide interacting agents with the ability to collaboratively learn and adapt to the behaviour of other agents. In many real-world applications, the agents can only acquire a partial view of the worl
In multi-agent reinforcement learning, discovering successful collective behaviors is challenging as it requires exploring a joint action space that grows exponentially with the number of agents. While the tractability of independent agent-wise explo
The combination of deep neural network models and reinforcement learning algorithms can make it possible to learn policies for robotic behaviors that directly read in raw sensory inputs, such as camera images, effectively subsuming both estimation an
Breakthrough advances in reinforcement learning (RL) research have led to a surge in the development and application of RL. To support the field and its rapid growth, several frameworks have emerged that aim to help the community more easily build ef
In multi-agent reinforcement learning, the behaviors that agents learn in a single Markov Game (MG) are typically confined to the given agent number (i.e., population size). Every single MG induced by varying population sizes may possess distinct opt
