JAX (Flax) RL

This repository contains JAX (Flax) implementations of Reinforcement Learning algorithms:

The goal of this repository is to provide simple and clean implementations to build research on top of. Please do not use this repository for baseline results and use the original implementations instead (SAC, AWAC, DrQ).

If you use JAXRL in your work, please cite this repository in publications:

# mujoco installation
curl -OL https://mujoco.org/download/mujoco210-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
mkdir ~/.mujoco
tar -zxf mujoco210-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C ~/.mujoco
rm mujoco210-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

To install, run

poetry install
# For GPU support run
pip install "jax[cuda]==0.3.10" -f https://storage.googleapis.com/jax-releases/jax_cuda_releases.html

For further instructions on running this code on GPU, please follow instructions from the official repository.

For MuJoCo inslattion, you may need to add the following lines in the .bashrc:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/costa/.mujoco/mujoco210/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/nvidia

Development

If you want to modify the code, install following the instructions above.

Examples

Troubleshooting

If you experience out-of-memory errors, especially with enabled video saving, please consider reading docs on JAX GPU memory allocation. Also, you can try running with the following environment variable:

XLA_PYTHON_CLIENT_MEM_FRACTION=0.80 python ...

If you run your code on a remote machine and want to save videos for DeepMind Control Suite, please use EGL for rendering:

MUJOCO_GL=egl python train.py --env_name=cheetah-run --save_dir=./tmp/ --save_video

Tensorboard

Launch tensorboard to see training and evaluation logs

tensorboard --logdir=./tmp/

Results

Continous control from states

gym

Continous control from pixels

Docker

Build

Copy your MuJoCo key to ./vendor

cd remote
docker build -t ikostrikov/jaxrl . -f Dockerfile 

Test

 sudo docker run -v <examples-dir>:/jaxrl/ ikostrikov/jaxrl:latest python /jaxrl/train.py --env_name=HalfCheetah-v2 --save_dir=/jaxrl/tmp/

# On GPU
 sudo docker run --rm --gpus all -v <examples-dir>:/jaxrl/ --gpus=all ikostrikov/jaxrl:latest python /jaxrl/train.py --env_name=HalfCheetah-v2 --save_dir=/jaxrl/tmp/
