## Training
We provide two solutions. One utilizes the hybrid parallel strategies of Gemini, DDP/ZeRO, and Tensor Parallelism.
The other one uses Pipeline Parallelism Only.
In the future, we are going merge them together and they can be used orthogonally to each other.
We provide two stable solutions.
One utilizes the Gemini to implement hybrid parallel strategies of Gemini, DDP/ZeRO, and Tensor Parallelism for a huggingface GPT model.
The other one use [Titans](https://github.com/hpcaitech/Titans), a distributed executed model zoo maintained by ColossalAI,to implement the hybrid parallel strategies of TP + ZeRO + PP.
We recommend using Gemini to qucikly run your model in a distributed manner.
It doesn't require significant changes to the model structures, therefore you can apply it on a new model easily.
And use Titans as an advanced weapon to pursue a more extreme performance.
Titans has included the some typical models, such as Vit and GPT.
However, it requires some efforts to start if facing a new model structure.

### Titans (Tensor Parallelism) + ZeRO + Pipeline Parallelism
Titans provides a customized GPT model, which uses distributed operators as building blocks.
In [./titans/README.md], we provide a hybrid parallelism of ZeRO, TP and PP.
You can switch parallel strategies using a config file.
You can download the preprocessed sample dataset for this demo via our [Google Drive sharing link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QKI6k-e2gJ7XgS8yIpgPPiMmwiBP_BPE/view?usp=sharing).
You can also avoid dataset preparation by using `--use_dummy_dataset` during running.
## Run this Demo
Use the following commands to install prerequisites.
```bash
# assuming using cuda 11.3
pip install-r requirements.txt
```
Use the following commands to execute training.
```Bash
#!/usr/bin/env sh
# if you want to use real dataset, then remove --use_dummy_dataset
# export DATA=/path/to/small-gpt-dataset.json'
# run on a single node
colossalai run --nproc_per_node=<num_gpus> train_gpt.py --config configs/<config_file> --from_torch --use_dummy_dataset
# run on multiple nodes with slurm
colossalai run --nproc_per_node=<num_gpus> \
--master_addr <hostname> \
--master_port <port-number> \
--hosts <list-of-hostname-separated-by-comma> \
train_gpt.py \
--config configs/<config_file> \

--use_dummy_dataset
# run on multiple nodes with slurm
srun python \
train_gpt.py \
--config configs/<config_file> \
--host <master_node> \
--use_dummy_dataset
```
You can set the `<config_file>` to any file in the `configs` folder. To simply get it running, you can start with `gpt_small_zero3_pp1d.py` on a single node first. You can view the explanations in the config file regarding how to change the parallel setting.
