Difference Between Session.run and Tensor.eval

【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 t.eval() 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 tf.Variable.
