      Improve memory efficiency of FP16 optimization (#404) · 03a57dec
      Myle Ott authored 
      Summary:
Previously when training with --fp16, we stored a copy of the model parameters in FP32 for optimization, which consumed a lot of memory. An alternative is to just do the conversions to FP32 on the fly, which allows the caching allocator to reuse/save some memory.

This reduces peak memory usage by ~20% with a negligible reduction in training speed (~2% slower) when training a big transformer on 8 GPUs on wmt en-de with --update-freq=16.

This does not affect convergence, i.e., models will train exactly as they did before.

      Take a dummy train step under OOM to keep multiprocessing in sync · 6c006a34
      Halil Akin authored 
      Summary: This is not a guaranteed solution (since processes may still get out of sync if OOM happens after an all_gather/all_reduce has been done) - but should still make multiprocessing training more robust in practice since it seems we usually OOM early enough.

      Summary:

With Myle's help, we found that it is because of improperly handled dummy batch data type, and it causes optimizer.backward() is not executed same number of times cross different GPUs.

      Support BPE end of word marker suffix in fairseq noising module · 2b13f3c0
      Liezl Puzon authored 
      Summary:
There are 2 ways to implement BPE:
1. use a continuation marker suffix to indicate that there is at least one more subtoken left in the word
2. use a end of word marker suffix to indicate that there is no more subtokens left in the word

This adds some logic to account for either kind of BPE marker suffix. This diff adds a corresponding test. I also refactored the test setup to reduce the number of boolean args when setting up test data.
