# IPNDMScheduler

## IPNDMScheduler

`IPNDMScheduler` is a fourth-order Improved Pseudo Linear Multistep scheduler. The original implementation can be found at [crowsonkb/v-diffusion-pytorch](https://github.com/crowsonkb/v-diffusion-pytorch/blob/987f8985e38208345c1959b0ea767a625831cc9b/diffusion/sampling.py#L296).

### IPNDMScheduler

#### class diffusers.IPNDMScheduler

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/v0.21.0/src/diffusers/schedulers/scheduling_ipndm.py#L25)

( num\_train\_timesteps: int = 1000trained\_betas: typing.Union\[numpy.ndarray, typing.List\[float], NoneType] = None )

Parameters

* **num\_train\_timesteps** (`int`, defaults to 1000) — The number of diffusion steps to train the model.
* **trained\_betas** (`np.ndarray`, *optional*) — Pass an array of betas directly to the constructor to bypass `beta_start` and `beta_end`.

A fourth-order Improved Pseudo Linear Multistep scheduler.

This model inherits from [SchedulerMixin](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/schedulers/overview#diffusers.SchedulerMixin) and [ConfigMixin](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/configuration#diffusers.ConfigMixin). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all schedulers such as loading and saving.

**scale\_model\_input**

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/v0.21.0/src/diffusers/schedulers/scheduling_ipndm.py#L170)

( sample: FloatTensor\*args\*\*kwargs ) → `torch.FloatTensor`

Parameters

* **sample** (`torch.FloatTensor`) — The input sample.

Returns

`torch.FloatTensor`

A scaled input sample.

Ensures interchangeability with schedulers that need to scale the denoising model input depending on the current timestep.

**set\_timesteps**

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/v0.21.0/src/diffusers/schedulers/scheduling_ipndm.py#L67)

( num\_inference\_steps: intdevice: typing.Union\[str, torch.device] = None )

Parameters

* **num\_inference\_steps** (`int`) — The number of diffusion steps used when generating samples with a pre-trained model.
* **device** (`str` or `torch.device`, *optional*) — The device to which the timesteps should be moved to. If `None`, the timesteps are not moved.

Sets the discrete timesteps used for the diffusion chain (to be run before inference).

**step**

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/v0.21.0/src/diffusers/schedulers/scheduling_ipndm.py#L112)

( model\_output: FloatTensortimestep: intsample: FloatTensorreturn\_dict: bool = True ) → [SchedulerOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/schedulers/singlestep_dpm_solver#diffusers.schedulers.scheduling_utils.SchedulerOutput) or `tuple`

Parameters

* **model\_output** (`torch.FloatTensor`) — The direct output from learned diffusion model.
* **timestep** (`int`) — The current discrete timestep in the diffusion chain.
* **sample** (`torch.FloatTensor`) — A current instance of a sample created by the diffusion process.
* **return\_dict** (`bool`) — Whether or not to return a [SchedulerOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/schedulers/singlestep_dpm_solver#diffusers.schedulers.scheduling_utils.SchedulerOutput) or tuple.

Returns

[SchedulerOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/schedulers/singlestep_dpm_solver#diffusers.schedulers.scheduling_utils.SchedulerOutput) or `tuple`

If return\_dict is `True`, [SchedulerOutput](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/schedulers/singlestep_dpm_solver#diffusers.schedulers.scheduling_utils.SchedulerOutput) is returned, otherwise a tuple is returned where the first element is the sample tensor.

Predict the sample from the previous timestep by reversing the SDE. This function propagates the sample with the linear multistep method. It performs one forward pass multiple times to approximate the solution.

### SchedulerOutput

#### class diffusers.schedulers.scheduling\_utils.SchedulerOutput

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/v0.21.0/src/diffusers/schedulers/scheduling_utils.py#L50)

( prev\_sample: FloatTensor )

Parameters

* **prev\_sample** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)` for images) — Computed sample `(x_{t-1})` of previous timestep. `prev_sample` should be used as next model input in the denoising loop.

Base class for the output of a scheduler’s `step` function.
