What's Changed

This release contains many internal changes for ACE code. However, all configuration options accessible by the entrypoints of the fme package (i.e. fme.ace.train, fme.ace.inference and fme.ace.evaluator) have had no breaking changes.

The following lists are not complete but just a highlight of changes which may be relevant to users.

Bug fixes:

  • resolved transient bug that sometimes occurred in XarrayDataset when trying to read the image shape from a scalar field
  • when using n_repeats greater than 1, XarrayDataset now correctly increments the values in the returned time arrays

New features:

  • ACE works on Apple Silicon! Set the environmental variable FME_USE_MPS=1 to use the pytorch MPS backend. Make sure to have the latest version of pytorch installed. This gives about a 5x speed up over running on CPU (tested on a Macbook Pro M3 Max).
  • add perturbations to sea surface temperature during inference (see ForcingDataLoaderConfig.perturbations)

Refactors:

  • deduplicated some inference code by using generics. Now the fme.ace.inference and fme.ace.evaluator entrypoints now share more code.
