+# Megatron Core To TRTLLM Export Documentation
+This guide will walk you through how you can use the megatron core export for exporting models to trtllm format
+
+### Contents
+- [Megatron Core To TRTLLM Export Documentation](#megatron-core-to-trtllm-export-documentation)
+- [Contents](#contents)
+  - [1. Quick Start](#1-quick-start)
+    - [1.1 Understanding The Code](#11-understanding-the-code)
+    - [1.2 Running The Code](#12-running-the-code)
+  - [2. GPU Export](#2-gpu-export)
+  - [3. Future work](#4-future-work)
+
+#### 1. Quick Start
+This will walk you through the flow of converting an mcore gpt model to trtllm format using single device mode. The file can be found at [gpt_single_device_cpu_export.py](./single_device_export/gpt_single_device_cpu_export.py)
+
+NOTE: For faster performance, if your entire model will fit into gpu memory, pre transfer the model state dict to gpu and then call the get_trtllm_pretrained_config_and_model_weights function.
+
+<br>
+
+##### 1.1 Understanding The Code
+***STEP 1 - We initialize model parallel and other default arguments***
+We initalize tp and pp to 1 so that we can get the full model state dict on cpu
+```python
+    initialize_distributed(tensor_model_parallel_size=1, pipeline_model_parallel_size=1)
+```
+
+***STEP 2 - We load the model using the model_provider_function***
+NOTE: We create a simple gpt model
+
+```python
+    transformer_config = TransformerConfig(
+        num_layers=2, 
+        hidden_size=64, # Needs to be atleast 32 times num_attn_heads
+        num_attention_heads=2, 
+        use_cpu_initialization=True, 
+        pipeline_dtype=torch.float32,
+    )
+
+    gpt_model = GPTModel(
+        config=transformer_config, 
+        transformer_layer_spec=get_gpt_layer_local_spec(), 
+        vocab_size=100, 
+        max_sequence_length=_SEQUENCE_LENGTH,
+    )
+
+    # Optionally you can also load a model using this code 
+    # sharded_state_dict=gpt_model.sharded_state_dict(prefix='')
+    # checkpoint = dist_checkpointing.load(sharded_state_dict=sharded_state_dict, checkpoint_dir=checkpoint_path)
+    # gpt_model.load_state_dict(checkpoint)
+
+```
+
+***STEP 3 - Instantiate the TRTLLM Helper***
+We instantiate the [TRTLLM Helper](../../../megatron/core/export/trtllm/trtllm_helper.py)  For the GPT model we instantiate trtllm_helper as shown below.
+```python
+    if hasattr(gpt_model, "rotary_pos_emb"):
+        seq_len_interpolation_factor =  gpt_model.rotary_pos_emb.seq_len_interpolation_factor
+
+    trtllm_helper = TRTLLMHelper(
+                        transformer_config=gpt_model.config, 
+                        model_type=ModelType.gpt,
+                        position_embedding_type = gpt_model.position_embedding_type, 
+                        max_position_embeddings = gpt_model.max_position_embeddings, 
+                        rotary_percentage = gpt_model.rotary_percent,
+                        rotary_base = gpt_model.rotary_base,
+                        moe_tp_mode = 2,
+                        multi_query_mode = False,
+                        activation = "gelu", 
+                        seq_len_interpolation_factor = seq_len_interpolation_factor,
+                        share_embeddings_and_output_weights=gpt_model.share_embeddings_and_output_weights
+                    )   
+```
+
+***STEP 4 - Get the TRTLLM Weights and configs***
+To convert model weights to trtllm weights and configs, we use the [single_device_converter](../../../megatron/core/export/trtllm/trtllm_weights_converter/single_device_trtllm_model_weights_converter.py). We pass as inputs the model state dict, and export config. In this example we use inference tp size as 2 for the export. 
+
+```python
+    model_state_dict={}
+    for key , val in gpt_model.state_dict().items():
+        # val is non for _extra_state layers . We filter it out
+        if val is not None:
+            model_state_dict[key] = val
+
+    export_config = ExportConfig(inference_tp_size = 2)
+    weight_list, config_list = trtllm_helper.get_trtllm_pretrained_config_and_model_weights(
+        model_state_dict= model_state_dict,
+        dtype = DataType.bfloat16,
+        export_config=export_config
+    )
+```
+
+***STEP 5 - Build the TRTLLM Engine***
+Following code is used to build the TRTLLM Engine. 
+
+```python
+    for trtllm_model_weights, trtllm_model_config in zip(weight_list, config_list):
+        trtllm_helper.build_and_save_engine(
+            max_input_len=256,
+            max_output_len=256,
+            max_batch_size=8,
+            engine_dir='/opt/megatron-lm/engine',
+            trtllm_model_weights=trtllm_model_weights,
+            trtllm_model_config=trtllm_model_config,
+            lora_ckpt_list=None,
+            use_lora_plugin=None,
+            max_lora_rank=64,
+            lora_target_modules=None,
+            max_prompt_embedding_table_size=0,
+            paged_kv_cache=True,
+            remove_input_padding=True,
+            paged_context_fmha=False,
+            use_refit=False,
+            max_num_tokens=None,
+            max_seq_len=512,
+            opt_num_tokens=None,
+            max_beam_width=1,
+            tokens_per_block=128,
+            multiple_profiles=False,
+            gpt_attention_plugin="auto",
+            gemm_plugin="auto",
+        )
+```
+<br>
+
+##### 1.2 Running The Code
+An example run script is shown below. 
+
+```
+# In a workstation 
+MLM_PATH=/path/to/megatron-lm
+CONTAINER_IMAGE=gitlab-master.nvidia.com:5005/dl/joc/nemo-ci/trtllm_0.12/train:pipe.17669124-x86
+
+docker run -it --gpus=all --ipc=host -v $MLM_PATH/:/opt/megatron-lm $CONTAINER_IMAGE bash
+
+# Inside the container run the following. 
+
+cd /opt/megatron-lm/
+
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 torchrun --nproc-per-node 1  examples/export/trtllm_export/single_device_export/gpt_single_device_cpu_export.py
+```
+
+<br>
+
+#### 2. GPU Export
+You can use the [gpt_distributed_gpu_export.py](./distributed_export/gpt_distributed_gpu_export.py) to run a more optimized on device distributed. version of trtllm export. Internally this uses the [distributed_converter](../../../megatron/core/export/trtllm/trtllm_weights_converter/distributed_trtllm_model_weights_converter.py) to convert model weights on device. 
+In the single device version you collect all the model weights on CPU/GPU, convert it to trtllm format, and then store the engine back on disk. In the GPU version you load each individual state dict on the gpus, convert it on the device itself and store the engine on disk. 
+
+To run the gpu version 
+
+```
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 torchrun --nproc-per-node 2  examples/export/trtllm_export/distributed_export/gpt_distributed_gpu_export.py
+```
+
+<br>
+
+#### 3. Future work
+The following are planned for the future releases . 
+* Pipeline parallellism for export (Work in progress) 
+* GPU Export for more models (Work in progress for some models)
+* Refit functionality
+* VLLM Support

+
+#### 1. Quick Start
+This will walk you through the flow of running batch inference on a GPT model trained using megatron core. The file can be found at [simple_gpt_batch_inference.py](./gpt/simple_gpt_batch_inference.py)
+
+<br>
+
+##### 1.1 Understanding The Code
+***STEP 1 - We initialize model parallel and other default arguments***
+We can default micro batch size to be 1, since for TP models it is not used, and for PP models it is calculated during runtime. 
+```python
+    initialize_megatron(
+        args_defaults={'no_load_rng': True, 'no_load_optim': True, 'micro_batch_size': 1}
+    )
+```
+
+***STEP 2 - We load the model using the model_provider_function***
+NOTE: The model provider function in the script supports MCore and Legacy models. 
+
+```python
+    model = get_model(model_provider, wrap_with_ddp=False)
+    load_checkpoint(model, None, None)
+    model = model[0]
+```
+
+***STEP 3 - Choose an engine***
+One of the important elements of the generate function is an inference engine. In this example we will be choosing the [megatron core engine](../../megatron/core/inference/engine/mcore_engine.py) with a [simple text generation controller](../../megatron/core/inference/text_generation_controllers/simple_text_generation_controller.py), the default engine. Other engines that will be supported in the future are TRTLLMEngine.
+```python
+    inference_wrapped_model = GPTInferenceWrapper(model, args)
+    text_generation_controller = SimpleTextGenerationController(
+        inference_wrapped_model=inference_wrapped_model, 
+        tokenizer=tokenizer
+    )
+    inference_backend = MCoreEngine(
+        text_generation_controller=text_generation_controller, max_batch_size=args.max_batch_size
+    )
+```
+
+***STEP 4 - Run the generate function and display results***
+We use default values for the [common inference params](../../megatron/core/inference/common_inference_params.py). Customize this if you want to change top_p, top_k, number of tokens to generate etc. 
+*Note that the result is returned as a list of [InferenceRequests](../../megatron/core/inference/inference_request.py)*
+```python
+    results: List[InferenceRequest] = inference_engine.generate(
+        prompts=args.prompts, common_inference_params=common_inference_params
+    )
+    
+    if torch.distributed.get_rank() == 0:
+        for idx, result in enumerate(results):
+            print(f' ------------- RESULT FOR PROMPT {idx} --------------- ')
+            result = {
+                'id': result.request_id,
+                'input_prompt': result.prompt, 
+                'generated_text': result.generated_text,
+                'generated_tokens' : result.generated_tokens
+                }
+            print(result)
+```
+
+<br>
+
+##### 1.2 Running The Code
+An example run script is shown below. Change the tokenizer paths, inference params, and other settings for your model. 
+
+For a quick recap on inference params refer to [this blog](https://ivibudh.medium.com/a-guide-to-controlling-llm-model-output-exploring-top-k-top-p-and-temperature-parameters-ed6a31313910)

+--num-tokens-to-generate (Number of tokens to generate for each prompt)

+--use-dist-ckpt (If you are using dist checkpoint format for the model)
+--use-legacy-models (If you are using legacy gpt model instead of mcore gpt model)
+
+```
+
+
+<br>
+
+
+#### 2. Flow of Control In MCore Backend
+The following is what happens in the [simple_gpt_batch_inference.py](./gpt/simple_gpt_batch_inference.py).
+* We call  [mcore_engine](../../megatron/core/inference/engines/mcore_engine.py) **generate()** function with all our input prompts.
+* The scheduler in the engine will add these prompts to the [active requests] pool (../../megatron/core/inference/inference_request.py) until we hit the max batch size, and then it will put the rest in the waiting requests pool. 
+* The engine will then run until all requests (waiting + active) are completed 
+    * The active requests are passed into  **generate_all_output_tokens_static_batch()** of the text generation controller . 
+    * This function uses the [model_inference_wrappers](../../megatron/core/inference/model_inference_wrappers/abstract_model_inference_wrapper.py) **prep_model_for_inference()** , and then runs an auto regressive loop
+    * In the auto regressive loop, the **get_batch_for_context_window()** method of the inference wrapper is called to get the required input, passes it into the **run_one_forward_step()** method, which calls the appropriate (PP, TP) model `.forward()` methods to get the output logits
+    * The output logits are synchronized across all pipeline parallel ranks
+    * The text generation controller obtains the log probabilities and samples tokens based on the strategy defined in the common inference parameters.
+    * The sampled tokens are then appended to the input prompt tokens for the next iteration 
+    * The **update_generation_status()** method of the text generation controller checks which prompts have finished generating or hit a stop condition
+    * After the inference loop, the result is detokenized and stored as an attribute of the InferenceRequest. These requests are marked as completed. 
+    * The **update_requests_pool()** method of the scheduler moves completed requests into the completed request pool and waiting requests into the active request pool
+
+<br>
+
+#### 3. Customizing The Inference Pipeline
+The following guide will walk you through how you can customize different parts of the inference pipeline. There are three levels at which you can customize the pipeline. 
+* **Inference engine** - Highest level of customization. Currently we support the MCore Engine. Change this to add a new engine.
+* **Text generation controller** - Extend this to customize tokenization, detokenization, or implement a new sampling strategy.
+* **Inference Wrapped Model** - Change this to support a new model.
+* **Modify Inference Parameters** - Change this to update top_p, top_k, number of tokens to be generated, temperature, or other sampling parameters.
+
+<br>
+
+##### 3.1. Create Your Own Inference Backend 
+This is the highest level of customization. The  [abstract_engine.py](./../../megatron/core/inference/engine/abstract_engine.py) file has a generate method that can be extended to support a new backend. 
+
+```python
+class AbstractEngine(ABC):
+    @staticmethod
+    def generate(self) -> dict:
+        """The abstract backend's generate function. 
+
+        To define your own backend, make sure you implement this and return the outputs as a dictionary . 
+
+
+<br>
+
+##### 3.2. Create Your Own Text Generation Controller
+In case you want to use the megatron core backend, but would like to overwrite the tokenization, text generation or detokenization extend the [simple_text_generation_controller.py](../../megatron/core/inference/text_generation_controllers/simple_text_generation_controller.py). The class has the following methods
+``` python
+class SimpleTextGenerationController:
+
+    def tokenize_prompt(self, prompt: str) -> Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor]:
+        """Utility to tokenize the input prompts"""
+
+    def sample_from_logits(
+        self,
+        last_token_logits: torch.Tensor,
+        common_inference_params: CommonInferenceParams,
+        vocab_size: int,
+    ) -> torch.Tensor:
+        """Samples the logits to generate outputs
+
+        Given the logits of the last token, this function samples it according to the parameters defined in common_inference_params and returns the samples
+        """
+
+    def update_generation_status(
+        self,
+        updated_prompts_tokens: torch.Tensor,
+        generation_started: torch.Tensor,
+        current_context_end_position: int,
+        is_generation_done_tensor: torch.Tensor,
+        generated_sequence_lengths: torch.Tensor,
+    ) -> torch.Tensor:
+        """Function to check which prompts have reached an end condition
+
+        We check which prompts have reached an end condition and set the corresponding flags of the is_generation_done_tensor to True . The generated sequence lengths increases as we keep generating, until that prompts hits an eod condition. The generation started status tensor helps us determine which prompts have started generating
+        """
+
+    def generate_all_output_tokens_static_batch(
+        self, active_requests: OrderedDict[int, InferenceRequest],
+    ) -> OrderedDict[int, InferenceRequest]:
+        """Utility to generate all the output tokens and probabilities for the prompts .
+
+        This utility generates the output tokens for a static batch. It runs the forward steps till all prompts complete generation, updates the status of these requests to completed, adds the generated result and returns these requests
+        """
+
+    def detokenize_generations(self, prompt_tokens_with_generated_tokens: torch.Tensor) -> str:
+        """Detokenize the output generations"""
+```
+
+<br>
+
+##### 3.3. Support Other Models
+In order to support other models please extend the [abstract_model_inference_wrapper.py](./../../megatron/core/inference/model_inference_wrappers/abstract_model_inference_wrapper.py) file. The abstract wrapper already supports the following :
+* Forward method which automatically calls the appropriate forward method (PP or TP etc) depending on model parallel settings
+* Initalizes the model and puts it in eval mode
+* Obtains the input parameters (batch size, max seq length) and has an instance of the input 
+
+The main methods to change for your model might be the following: 
+```python
+class AbstractModelInferenceWrapper:
+    def prep_model_for_inference(self, prompts_tokens: torch.Tensor):
+        """A utility function for preparing model for inference
+
+        The function gets called once before the auto regressive inference loop. It puts the model in eval mode , and gets some model and inference data parameters. Extend this to build position ids ,attention mask etc, so that required slices can be extracted during the forward pass
+        """
+
+    @abc.abstractclassmethod
+    def get_batch_for_context_window(self) -> List:
+        """Returns the input data for inference 
+
+        This function gets called iteratively in the inference loop . It can be used to extract relevant input from the prompt tokens, attention mask etc. required for each step in inference.
+```
+
+Refer to [gpt_inference_wrapper.py](../../megatron/core/inference/model_inference_wrappers/gpt/gpt_inference_wrapper.py) for an example of extending this for GPTModel.
+
+<br>
+
+##### 3.3. Modify Inference Parameters
+We use  [common inference params](../../megatron/core/inference/common_inference_params.py) for text generation. Customize this if you want to change top_p, top_k, number of tokens to generate etc. If you want to add other attributes that you would use in the inference loop, you can do that as shown below
+
+```
+from megatron.core.inference.common_inference_params import CommonInferenceParams
+
+c = CommonInferenceParams(temperature=0.5)
+c.add_attributes({'min_length':4, 'eod_id':153})
+```
+
+<br>
+
+#### 4. Future work
+The following are planned for the future releases . 
+* Dynamic batching 
+* Paged Attention
+* TRTLLM Engine support
+* Support for Multimodal model inference
