""" This training script can be run both on a single gpu in debug mode, and also in a larger training run with distributed data parallel (ddp). To run on a single GPU, example: $ python train.py --batch_size=32 --compile=False To run with DDP on 4 gpus on 1 node, example: $ torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train.py To run with DDP on 4 gpus across 2 nodes, example: - Run on the first (master) node with example IP 123.456.123.456: $ torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=0 --master_addr=123.456.123.456 --master_port=1234 train.py - Run on the worker node: $ torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=1 --master_addr=123.456.123.456 --master_port=1234 train.py (If your cluster does not have Infiniband interconnect prepend NCCL_IB_DISABLE=1) """ import os import time import math import pickle from contextlib import nullcontext import numpy as np import torch from torch.nn.parallel import DistributedDataParallel as DDP from torch.distributed import init_process_group, destroy_process_group from model import GPTConfig, GPT # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # default config values designed to train a gpt2 (124M) on OpenWebText # I/O out_dir = 'out' eval_interval = 2000 log_interval = 1 eval_iters = 200 eval_only = False # if True, script exits right after the first eval always_save_checkpoint = True # if True, always save a checkpoint after each eval init_from = 'scratch' # 'scratch' or 'resume' or 'gpt2*' # wandb logging wandb_log = False # disabled by default wandb_project = 'owt' wandb_run_name = 'gpt2' # 'run' + str(time.time()) # data dataset = 'openwebtext' gradient_accumulation_steps = 5 # used to simulate larger batch sizes batch_size = 12 # if gradient_accumulation_steps > 1, this is the micro-batch size block_size = 1024 # model n_layer = 12 n_head = 12 n_embd = 768 dropout = 0.0 # for pretraining 0 is good, for finetuning try 0.1+ bias = False # do we use bias inside LayerNorm and Linear layers?
