极市导读
利用PyTorch,作者编写了不同加速库在ImageNet上的单机多卡使用示例,方便读者取用。
又到适宜划水的周五啦,机器在学习,人很无聊。在打开 b 站 “学习” 之前看着那空着一半的显卡决定写点什么喂饱它们~因此,从 V100-PICE/V100/K80 中各拿出 4 张卡,试验一下哪种分布式学习库速度最快!这下终于能把剩下的显存吃完啦,又是老师的勤奋好学生啦(我真是个小机灵鬼)!
笔者使用 PyTorch 编写了不同加速库在 ImageNet 上的使用示例(单机多卡),需要的同学可以当作 quickstart 将需要的部分 copy 到自己的项目中(Github 请点击下面链接):
1、简单方便的 nn.DataParallel
https://github.com/tczhangzhi/pytorch-distributed/blob/master/dataparallel.py
2、使用 torch.distributed 加速并行训练
https://github.com/tczhangzhi/pytorch-distributed/blob/master/distributed.py
3、使用 torch.multiprocessing 取代启动器
https://github.com/tczhangzhi/pytorch-distributed/blob/master/multiprocessing_distributed.py
4、使用 apex 再加速
https://github.com/tczhangzhi/pytorch-distributed/blob/master/apex_distributed.py
5、horovod 的优雅实现
https://github.com/tczhangzhi/pytorch-distributed/blob/master/horovod_distributed.py
这里,笔者记录了使用 4 块 Tesla V100-PICE 在 ImageNet 进行了运行时间的测试,测试结果发现 Apex 的加速效果最好,但与 Horovod/Distributed 差别不大,平时可以直接使用内置的 Distributed。Dataparallel 较慢,不推荐使用。(后续会补上 V100/K80 上的测试结果,穿插了一些试验所以中断了)
简要记录一下不同库的分布式训练方式,当作代码的 README(我真是个小机灵鬼)~
DataParallel 可以帮助我们(使用单进程控)将模型和数据加载到多个 GPU 中,控制数据在 GPU 之间的流动,协同不同 GPU 上的模型进行并行训练(细粒度的方法有 scatter,gather 等等)。
DataParallel 使用起来非常方便,我们只需要用 DataParallel 包装模型,再设置一些参数即可。需要定义的参数包括:参与训练的 GPU 有哪些,device_ids=gpus;用于汇总梯度的 GPU 是哪个,output_device=gpus[0] 。DataParallel 会自动帮我们将数据切分 load 到相应 GPU,将模型复制到相应 GPU,进行正向传播计算梯度并汇总:
model = nn.DataParallel(model.cuda(), device_ids=gpus, output_device=gpus[0])
值得注意的是,模型和数据都需要先 load 进 GPU 中,DataParallel 的 module 才能对其进行处理,否则会报错:
# 这里要 model.cuda()
model = nn.DataParallel(model.cuda(), device_ids=gpus, output_device=gpus[0])
for epoch in range(100):
for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
# 这里要 images/target.cuda()
images = images.cuda(non_blocking=True)
target = target.cuda(non_blocking=True)
...
output = model(images)
loss = criterion(output, target)
...
optimizer.zero_grad()
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
# main.py
import torch
import torch.distributed as dist
gpus = [0, 1, 2, 3]
torch.cuda.set_device('cuda:{}'.format(gpus[0]))
train_dataset = ...
train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(train_dataset, batch_size=...)
model = ...
model = nn.DataParallel(model.to(device), device_ids=gpus, output_device=gpus[0])
optimizer = optim.SGD(model.parameters())
for epoch in range(100):
for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
images = images.cuda(non_blocking=True)
target = target.cuda(non_blocking=True)
...
output = model(images)
loss = criterion(output, target)

在 pytorch 1.0 之后,官方终于对分布式的常用方法进行了封装,支持 all-reduce,broadcast,send 和 receive 等等。通过 MPI 实现 CPU 通信,通过 NCCL 实现 GPU 通信。官方也曾经提到用 DistributedDataParallel 解决 DataParallel 速度慢,GPU 负载不均衡的问题,目前已经很成熟了~
