## Installation

Requirements:
- PyTorch >= 1.11 and PyTorch <= 2.1
- Python >= 3.7
- CUDA >= 11.0
- [NVIDIA GPU Compute Capability](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) >= 7.0 (V100/RTX20 and higher)
- Linux OS

If you encounter any problem with installation, you may want to raise an [issue](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/issues/new/choose) in this repository.

### Install from PyPI

You can easily install Colossal-AI with the following command. **By default, we do not build PyTorch extensions during installation.**

```bash
pip install colossalai
```

**Note: only Linux is supported for now.**

However, if you want to build the PyTorch extensions during installation, you can set `BUILD_EXT=1`.

```bash
BUILD_EXT=1 pip install colossalai
```

**Otherwise, CUDA kernels will be built during runtime when you actually need them.**

We also keep releasing the nightly version to PyPI every week. This allows you to access the unreleased features and bug fixes in the main branch.
Installation can be made via

```bash
pip install colossalai-nightly
```

### Download From Source

> The version of Colossal-AI will be in line with the main branch of the repository. Feel free to raise an issue if you encounter any problems. :)

```shell
git clone https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.git
cd ColossalAI

# install colossalai
pip install .
```

By default, we do not compile CUDA/C++ kernels. ColossalAI will build them during runtime.
If you want to install and enable CUDA kernel fusion (compulsory installation when using fused optimizer):

```shell
BUILD_EXT=1 pip install .
```

For Users with CUDA 10.2, you can still build ColossalAI from source. However, you need to manually download the cub library and copy it to the corresponding directory.

```bash
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.git
cd ColossalAI

# download the cub library
wget https://github.com/NVIDIA/cub/archive/refs/tags/1.8.0.zip
unzip 1.8.0.zip
cp -r cub-1.8.0/cub/ colossalai/kernel/cuda_native/csrc/kernels/include/

# install
BUILD_EXT=1 pip install .
```

## Use Docker

### Pull from DockerHub

You can directly pull the docker image from our [DockerHub page](https://hub.docker.com/r/hpcaitech/colossalai). The image is automatically uploaded upon release.


### Build On Your Own

Run the following command to build a docker image from Dockerfile provided.

> Building Colossal-AI from scratch requires GPU support, you need to use Nvidia Docker Runtime as the default when doing `docker build`. More details can be found [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59691207/docker-build-with-nvidia-runtime).
> We recommend you install Colossal-AI from our [project page](https://www.colossalai.org) directly.


```bash
cd ColossalAI
docker build -t colossalai ./docker
```

Run the following command to start the docker container in interactive mode.

```bash
docker run -ti --gpus all --rm --ipc=host colossalai bash
```

abstract = {The success of Transformer models has pushed the deep learning model scale to billions of parameters, but the memory limitation of a single GPU has led to an urgent need for training on multi-GPU clusters. However, the best practice for choosing the optimal parallel strategy is still lacking, as it requires domain expertise in both deep learning and parallel computing. The Colossal-AI system addressed the above challenge by introducing a unified interface to scale your sequential code of model training to distributed environments. It supports parallel training methods such as data, pipeline, tensor, and sequence parallelism and is integrated with heterogeneous training and zero redundancy optimizer. Compared to the baseline system, Colossal-AI can achieve up to 2.76 times training speedup on large-scale models.},
