tf.train.global_step

tf.train.global_step(
    sess,
    global_step_tensor
)

Defined in tensorflow/python/training/training_util.py.

Small helper to get the global step.

# Create a variable to hold the global_step.
global_step_tensor = tf.Variable(10, trainable=False, name='global_step')
# Create a session.
sess = tf.Session()
# Initialize the variable
sess.run(global_step_tensor.initializer)
# Get the variable value.
print('global_step: %s' % tf.train.global_step(sess, global_step_tensor))

global_step: 10

Args:

• sess: A TensorFlow Session object.
• global_step_tensor: Tensor or the name of the operation that contains the global step.

Returns:

The global step value.
