【Question】：
TensorFlow has two ways to evaluate part of graph: Session.run on a list of variables and Tensor.eval. Is there a difference between these two?
【Answer】：
If you have a Tensor t, calling is equivalent to calling tf.get_default_session().run(t).
You can make a session the default as follows:
t = tf.constant(42.0)sess = tf.Session()with sess.as_default(): # or `with sess:` to close on exit assert sess is tf.get_default_session() assert t.eval() == sess.run(t)
The most important difference is that you can use sess.run() to fetch the values of many tensors in the same step:
t = tf.constant(42.0)u = tf.constant(37.0)tu = tf.mul(t, u)ut = tf.mul(u, t)with sess.as_default(): tu.eval() # runs one step ut.eval() # runs one step sess.run([tu, ut]) # evaluates both tensors in a single step
Note that each call to eval and run will execute the whole graph from scratch. To cache the result of a computation, assign it to a .
