Using Conda

Additional information in our user guide
We provide prebuilt conda environment containing GPU-supported builds of:

To activate / use: (either from an interactive job or inside a job script):

$ module use /soft/modulefiles
$ module load conda; conda activate base

Virtual Environments: `venv`

To install additional libraries, we can create a virtual environment using venv
Make sure you’re currently inside the base conda environment:
- module load conda; conda activate base
Now, create venv on top of base:
```
$ python3 -m venv /path/to/venv --system-site-packages
$ source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
$ which python3
/path/to/venv/bin/python3
$ # Now you can `python3 -m pip install ...` etc
```
🚧 Warning
1. --system-site-packages tells the venv to use system packages
2. You must replace the path /path/to/venv in the above commands with a suitably chosen directory which you are able to write to.

Note about `venv`’s

The value of --system-site-packages can be changed by modifying its value in /path/to/venv/pyvenv.cfg
To install a different version of a package that is already installed in the base environment:
```
$ python3 -m pip install --ignore-installed ... # or -I
```
The shared base environment is not writable
- Impossible to remove or uninstall packages
If you need additional flexibility, we can clone the base environment

Clone base `conda` environment

If we need additional flexibility or to install packages which require a conda install, we can clone the base environment
- requires copying the entirety of the base environment
- large storage requirement, can get out of hand quickly
The shared base environment is not writable
- Impossible to remove or uninstall packages

This can be done by:

$ module load conda
$ conda activate base
(base) $ conda create --clone base --prefix="/path/to/envs/base-clone"

Containers on Polaris

Polaris uses Nvidia A100 GPUs –>
- We can take advantage of Nvidia optimized containers

The container system on Polaris is singularity:

module avail singularity # see available
module load singularity  # load default version
# To load a specific version:
module load singularity/3.8.7

Singularity: two options for creating containers:
1. Using Docker on local machine and publishing to DockerHub
2. Using a Singularity recipe file and building on a Polaris worker node

Parallelism Overview

Modern parallelism techniques enable the training of large language models

See my slides on Parallel Training Techniques for additional details

Parallelism Concepts

DataParallel (DP):
- The same setup is replicated multiple times, and each being fed a slice of the data.
- The processing is done in parallel and all setups are synchronized at the end of each training step.
TensorParallel (TP):
- Each tensor is split up into multiple chunks.
- So, instead of having the whole tensor reside on a single gpu, each shard of the tensor resides on its designated gpu.
  - During processing each shard gets processed separately and in parallel on different GPUs and the results are synced at the end of the step.
  - This is what one may call horizontal parallelism, as he splitting happens on horizontal level.

🤗 Model Parallelism

Parallelism Concepts⁵

PipelineParallel (PP):
- Model is split up vertically (layer-level) across multiple GPUs, so that only one or several layers of the model are places on a single gpu.
  - Each gpu processes in parallel different stages of the pipeline and working on a small chunk of the batch.
Zero Redundancy Optimizer (ZeRO):
- Also performs sharding of the tensors somewhat similar to TP, except the whole tensor gets reconstructed in time for a forward or backward computation, therefore the model doesn’t need to be modified.
- It also supports various offloading techniques to compensate for limited GPU memory.
Sharded DDP:
- Another name for the foundational ZeRO concept as used by various other implementations of ZeRO.

Data Parallelism

Data Parallelism:
- The simplest and most common parallelism technique. Workers maintain identical copies of the complete model and work on a subset of the data.
- DDP supported in PyTorch native.
ZeRO Data Parallel
- ZeRO powered data parallelism is shown below⁶

Tensor Parallelism⁷

In Tensor Paralleism each GPU processes only a slice of a tensor and only aggregates the full tensor for operations that require the whole thing.
- The main building block of any transformer is a fully connected nn.Linear followed by a nonlinear activation GeLU.
  - Y = GeLU(XA), where X and Y are the input and output vectors, and A is the weight matrix.
- If we look at the computation in matrix form, it’s easy to see how the matrix multiplication can be split between multiple GPUs:
