fix np.memmap memory leak
nn.memmap doesn't free memory that it accesses. Thus, the entire dataset gets stored in RAM as the dataset has been fully accessed. The simplest workaround on stackoverflow is to just recreate the memmap for each batch. The extra overhead is negligible.

7339b904ef use WORLD_SIZE instead of device_count, supports both the case where the number of gpus we train on is smaller than gpus available, and also multinode training may be a bugfix 2023-06-14 23:33:07 +00:00

fix "cuda out of memory" when resuming training
2023-04-12 22:09:42 -07:00
Andrej Karpathy
553f949f46 fix minor bug where we have to scale the loss to account for gradient accumulation, which sums before backprop. note that this is not a major bug because AdamW is scale invariant. however, this did affect gradient clipping 2023-04-13 04:59:11 +00:00

ab0718a7dd add the estimation of model flops utilization (MFU), a very commonly looked at metric that estimates the token throughput in units of A100 bfloat16 peak flops (312 TFLOPS). this gives us a sense of the hardware utilization we're achieving 2023-02-05 00:48:58 +00:00

77e7e04c26 padding 50257 -> 50304 vocab_size, the nerest multiple of 64. the biggest deal smallest optimization i've made in recent past, about 25% faster. this is because the last layer is a major latency bottleneck consuming about 40% of latency due to the very high channel count. 2023-02-04 16:06:18 +00:00

3fd4c0c5ef who needs a dataloader? overlap the prefetching of the next batch with GPU compute, ehiding the data loading latency entirely. this saves about 1ms lol 2023-02-04 02:52:48 +00:00

0e90ee9d48 based on my experiments these biases are indeed not needed. code runs faster, identical results. keeping the option just because it deviates from the gpt-2 setup 2023-01-30 08:07:58 +00:00
Andrej Karpathy
001c1e7be7 stay true to the README file and set grad accum to 5, so the default batch size is about 0.5M and is reproducing gpt2 2023-01-27 20:51:50 +00:00

79dbe0086d let me set bias=True until I validate it properly, but this should be ok to merge to master for now, is equivalent to previous functionality 2023-01-27 20:45:28 +00:00

e808a67149 bunch of plumbing of bias all around. measuring bias=False to be about 6% faster 2023-01-27 20:41:17 +00:00

3cb3fc059c grad clipping seems to slightly speed up training in the beginning but i can't see a big difference later in the training. it costs non-negligeable compute to clip. adding it for now because it is standard, and i think more necessary as the model becomes larger. practitioners may consider turning it off for minor efficiency gains 2023-01-27 16:45:09 +00:00

d17350a31d add support for character-level language models, a new character-level shakespeare dataset, a new config file that shows how to train a character-level baby GPT on it, and adjust the sample function to figure out if it should decode with characters or GPT2 bpe tokens. The current implementation is a bit hacky and basically assumes just these two possibilities. In the future we may want to support more general encoders or decoders. 2023-01-11 05:27:19 +00:00
