### Added

16
17
- Layer-wise Gradient Scaling [new feature][experimental] Layer-wise gradient
scaling helps overcomes gradient overflow issues. When used in conjunction with
mixed precision, it enables training larger models and makes the training
process more stable, especially in deep networks [#879]
18
- FSDP: Added process_group_reduce_scatter parameter to allow users to pass in the process group that is used for reduce scatter operation. [#897]
19
- FSDP: Added state_dict_on_rank_0_only flag allow user choose to return full state dict on rank 0 and return empty dict non-rank 0 to prevent OOM [#844]

### Changed

- FSDP: Enabled reduce_scatter operation to overlap with all_gather stream and computation stream in backward propagation.
This change increases FSDP's throughput. To roll back this change, please pass ProcessGroupName.default to the process_group_reduce_scatter API parameter in FSDP [#897]

47

  and the file path for storing params on SSD. Note: This is an experimental feature. [#855]

  - a recent nightly build

57
## [0.4.2] - 2021-11-08

### Added
62
63
64
65
- FSDP: Add support for SSD offload for eval workloads. This is a new experimental feature and should be
        used with caution.
- LayerwiseMemoryTracker[feature][experimental]: This is a new experimental tool to help track, visualize and suggest fix for memory issues occurring during the forward/backward pass of your models. [#808]
- FSDP: limited support of shared weights between FSDP wrappers. This allows large parameter
66
67
          and gradient memory to be sharded despite being needed from different layers due to
          weight sharing. [#836]
68
- OffloadModel: Fix node names to enable correct sharding in auto_shard.py [#830]
69
- OSS: Relaxed speed and memory constraints on OSS golden data due to regression when we bumped up the
70
71
72
       PyTorch version to 1.9. [#828] [#825]
- Chore: Update PyTorch version that we run benchmarks with. [#823]
- Chore: Update PyTorch version that we run test with. [#809]
73
- OffloadModel: Extend auto_shard.py to allow dealing with conditionals automatically when tracing with
74
                torch.fx. This will work for most cases except when the conditional is part of the root instance. [#817]

75
- [MEVO]: a custom layer to help big vocab trainings. Experimental. Docs is still TBD. [#840]
76
- SlowMoDistributedDataParallel[feature][experimental] - This is a distributed training wrapper which should be useful on clusters with slow network interconnects (eg Ethernet). This improves on performance as compared to Distributed Data Parallel in such clusters. [#378]

### Fixed

anj-s committed
80
81
82
83
84
- FSDP: We don't attach post backward hooks for params that don't require grad. However in the hook
        triggered after the post backward hook, we assert on the POST_BACKWARD state which can only
        be set in the post backward hook. Modified the assert to account for the fact that the root
        FSDP module can have child modules with params that require grad and it can contain params
        that don't require grad and hence can fail the previous assert. [#761]
85
86
- FSDP: Fixed a bug when multiple backward pass is called within an iteration, parameters' sharding
        state might be incorrect. [#775]
87
88
- activation checkpoint: Ensure outputs of checkpointed modules only require grad if either
                         the input requires grad or if the parameters require grad. [#787]

91
92
93
- OSS: fix the broadcast_fp16 option, broken after a refactor, this flag was doing nothing (bugfix).[#795]
- OSS: update default device when refreshing the params, meaning that moving the model to GPU after
       the OSS wrap will not trigger warnings and slow the jobs (ease of use). [#786]

95
- FSDP: Added support for returning the original names of parameters when `named_parameters` is called on
96
        the module. To retrieve the orginal names of the parameters along with the params, you need to
anj-s's avatar
anj-s committed
97
98
99
        call `named_parameters` under the `summon_full_params` context when using flattened params or original
        params. If you are using original params (i.e flatten_params=False), calling `named_parameters` outside
        of the `summon_full_params` context will still return the original param names along with the local shards. [#755]
100
101
102
103
104
105
106
107
- FSDP: Ensure gradient reduction accumulates into the unsharded gradient tensor
        within a backwards pass. This matters when an FSDP module is called
        multiple times within a forward pass, and reduction is not deferred
        using activation checkpoint forward counters, bucketing or some other
        mechanism. [#784]
- activation checkpoint: Added a context manager to disable checkpoint in case the same wrapped module
                         needs to be checkpointed and not checkpointed in different parts of
                         the module forward pass. [#772]

tmarkstrum committed
108
109
110
- FSDP: Added a toggle with an environment variable ENABLE_NCCL_BASE_COLLECTIVES=[0,1] to allow users
        enable/disable using new nccl base collecectives. By default, using new nccl base collectives
        is enabled. [#801]

## [0.4.0] - 2021-07-31
### Fixed
114
115
116
117
118
119
120
- FSDP: fixed final backward callback in certain activation checkpointed cases. Before this fix,
        if a model is activation checkpointed in a certain way, the final backward
        callback can fire incorrectly. That's due to autograd and reentrant backward
        graphs. With this fix, the final callback is always registered on the outer
        most root FSDP instance (i.e. the outer most backward graph), which result
        in reliably firing. This makes FSDP much more robust with respect to different
        models and activation checkpoints. [#753]

121
122

### Added
123
124
125
126
- FSDP: support gradient accumulation without the `no_sync` context. This is useful
        in training with smaller number of GPU with same overall batch size as large
        number of GPUs. Compared with the `no_sync` context, this mode consumes less
        GPU memory but uses more networking bandwidth. [#752]

## [0.3.9] - 2021-07-26
### Fixed
- FSDP: fixed metadata saving and shard consolidation for MoE cases. When a model has
        shared parameters or mixture of expert layers, the handling of state dict
        metadata was broken. This release fixes that. [#746]
134
- OSS: fixed the buckets which would stay in fp16 if `broadcast fp16` was required [#751]

        available from pytorch nightly version (will be in 1.10 releases) [#729]

## [0.3.8] - 2021-07-12

- checkpointing: Ensure internal fwd counter is not incremented in eval mode. [#709]
- checkpointing: Use non-blocking CPU transfer to improve perf. [#719]
- FSDP: Fixed bug where buffers returned in `state_dict()` could still be half precision when `mixed_precision` is set to `True`. [#705]
- FSDP: Ensure requires_grad of FlatParameter is consistent with requires_grad of the original parameters. [#721]
- doc: Thoroughly improved the doc for FSDP. [#711]
- cleanup: Remove examples/ doc from the repo. [#712]
