-[Megatron](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf) is a large, powerful transformer developed by the Applied Deep Learning Research team at NVIDIA. This repository is for ongoing research on training large transformer language models at scale. We developed efficient, model-parallel (tensor and pipeline), and multinode training of [GPT-2](https://d4mucfpksywv.cloudfront.net/better-language-models/language_models_are_unsupervised_multitask_learners.pdf) and [BERT](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805.pdf) using mixed precision.
+[Megatron](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf) is a large, powerful transformer developed by the Applied Deep Learning Research team at NVIDIA. This repository is for ongoing research on training large transformer language models at scale. We developed efficient, model-parallel (tensor and pipeline), and multi-node pre-training of [GPT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165) and [BERT](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805.pdf) using mixed precision.
-Using our GPT-2 model we achieve a perplexity of 10.8 on the WikiText-103 dataset (improving SOTA from 15.8) and an accuracy of 66.5% on the LAMBADA datasets. For BERT training, we swapped the position of the layer normalization and the residual connection in the model architecture (similar to GPT-2 architucture), which allowed the models to continue to improve as they were scaled up. Our BERT model with 3.9 billion parameters reaches a loss of 1.16, SQuAD 2.0 F1-score of 91.7, and RACE accuracy of 90.9%.

-Our codebase is capable of efficiently training very large (several billion parameter) language models with both model and data parallelism. To demonstrate how the code scales with multiple GPUs we consider the following GPT-2 model sizes. All models use a vocabulary size of 51,200 and a sequence length of 1024.
+Our codebase is capable of efficiently training very large (hundreds of billions of parameters) language models with both model and data parallelism. To demonstrate how the code scales with multiple GPUs and model sizes, we consider GPT models from 1 billion all the way to 1 trillion parameters. All models use a vocabulary size of 51,200 and a sequence length of 2048. We vary hidden size, number of attention heads, and number of layers to arrive at a specifc model size. As the model size increases, we also modestly increase the batch size. We leverage [NVIDIA's Selene supercomputer](https://www.top500.org/system/179842/) to perform scaling studies and use up to 3072 [A100](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/) GPUs for the largest model. The table below shows the model configurations along with the achieved FLOPs per second (both per GPU and aggregate over all GPUs). Note that the FLOPs are measured for end-to-end training, i.e., includes all operations including data loading, optimization, and even logging.

+![Cases](images/cases_jan2021.png)
-The table below details the weak scaling from 1 to 8 GPUs of our model parallelism code in both a DGX-2 and a DGX-A100. Notice that we double the batch size on the DGX-A100 but the iteration time decreases compared to the DGX-2 resulting in a **2.1x** speedup for the end-to-end application.
+The following figures show achieved percentage of theoretical peak FLOPs and achieved aggregate petaFLOPs per second as a function of number of GPUs. All the cases from 1 billion to 1 trillion achieve more than 41% half precision utilization, which is high for an end-to-end application. We observe that initially as the model parallel size increases, utilization slightly decreases; as hidden size increases for larger models, utilization starts increasing and reaches 49% for the largest model. We also note that achieved aggregate petaFLOPs per second across all GPUs increases almost linearly with number of GPUs, demonstrating good weak scaling.

-The following table details how Megatron scales using data parallelism in conjuction with model parallelism in a cluster of DGX-A100s. All of these cases use 128-way data parallelism and the scaling numbers are relative to a single A100 (Case 1B with a 1076ms iteration time).

 ## BERT Pretraining
 `bash examples/pretrain_bert.sh`
-This script runs single GPU 345M parameter BERT pretraining. Debugging is the primary use for single GPU training, as the code base and command line arguments are optimized for highly distributed training. Most of the arguments are fairly self-explanatory. By default, the learning rate decays linearly over the training iterations starting at `--lr` to a minimum set by `--min-lr` over `--lr-decay-iters` iterations. The fraction of training iterations used for warmup is set by `--warmup`. While this is single GPU training, the batch size specified by `--batch-size` is per GPU used for data parallelism. The data is partitioned into a 949:50:1 ratio for training/validation/test sets (default is 969:30:1). This partitioning happens on the fly, but is consistent across runs with the same random seed (1234 by default, or specified manually with `--seed`).

The fraction of training iterations used for warmup is set by `--lr-warmup-fraction`. While this is single GPU training, the batch size specified by `--micro-batch-size` is a single forward-backward path batch-size and the code will perform gradient accumulation steps until it reaches `global-batch-size` whcih is the batch size per iteration. The data is partitioned into a 949:50:1 ratio for training/validation/test sets (default is 969:30:1).

We use `train-iters` as the training iterations requested. Alternatively, one can provide `--train-samples` which is total number of samples to train on. If this option is present, then instead of providing `--lr-decay-iters`, one will need to provide `--lr-decay-samples`.
 The logging, checkpoint-saving, and evaluation intervals are specified. Checkpointing the activations facilitates the training of larger models and/or batches. Note that the `--data-path` now includes the additional `_text_sentence` suffix added in preprocessing, but does not include the file extensions.

-The two tiers of parallelism are data and model parallelism. First, we facilitate two distributed data parallel implementations: a simple one of our own that performs gradient all-reduce at the end of back propagation step, and Torch's distributed data parallel wrapper that overlaps gradient reduction with back propagation computation. To switch between these two options use `--DDP-impl local` or `--DDP-impl torch`, respectively. As expected, Torch distributed data parallelism is more efficient at larger model parallel sizes. For example, for the 8.3 billion parameters model running on 512 GPUs, the scaling increases from 60% to 76% when Torch's distributed data parallel is used. However, the overlapping method requires more memory and for some configurations (e.g., 2.5 billion parameters using 2-way model parallel and 1.2 billion parameters with no model parallel) can make the overall training slower as a result. We empirically found that using a smaller model in those cases improves the training time.

-Second, we developed a simple and efficient two-dimensional model-parallel approach. To use tensor model parallelism (splitting execution of a single transformer module over multiple GPUs), add the `--tensor-model-parallel-size` flag to specify the number of GPUs among which to split the model, along with the arguments passed to the distributed launcher as mentioned above. To use pipeline model parallelism (sharding the transformer modules into stages with an equal number of transformer modules on each stage, and then pipelining execution by breaking the batch into smaller microbatches), use the `--pipeline-model-parallel-size` flag to specify the number of stages to split the model into (e.g., splitting a model with 24 transformer layers across 4 stages would mean each stage gets 6 transformer layers each). The number of microbatches in a per-pipeline minibatch is controlled by the `--num-microbatches-in-minibatch` argument. With `WORLD_SIZE` GPUs, `TENSOR_MP_SIZE` tensor-model-parallel size, `PIPELINE_MP_SIZE` pipeline-model-parallel-size, `WORLD_SIZE`/(`TENSOR_MP_SIZE` * `PIPELINE_MP_SIZE`) GPUs will be used for data parallelism. The default values for `--tensor-model-parallel-size` and `--pipeline-model-parallel-size` is 1, which will not implement either form of model parallelism.

+## GPT-3 Example
+`bash examples/pretrain_gpt3_175B.sh`
+We have provided an example of how to configure Megatron to run [GPT-3](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165) with 175 billion parameters on 1024 GPUs. The script is designed for [slurm](https://slurm.schedmd.com/documentation.html) with [pyxis](https://github.com/NVIDIA/pyxis) plugin but can be easily adopted to any other scheduler. It uses 8-way and 16-way tensor and pipeline parallelism, respectively. With options `global-batch-size 1536` and `rampup-batch-size 16 16 5859375`, the training will start with global batch size 16 and linearly increase the global batch size to 1536 over 5,859,375 samples with incrmeental steps 16. The training dataset can be either a single set or a multiple datasets combined with a set of weights.
+With full global batch size of 1536 on 1024 A100 GPUs, each iteration takes around 32 seconds resulting in 138 teraFLOPs per GPU which is 44% of the theoretical peak FLOPs.

 ## REALM Pipeline
 We are working on implementing the [REALM](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.08909.pdf) system. The following sections (will) reflect the three stages of training it. For now it's just the ICT code.
 Loosely, they are pretraining the retriever modules, then jointly training the language model and the retriever, and then finetuning a question answering head on the language model with fixed retriever.

 # Evaluation and Tasks
 We provide several command line arguments, detailed in the scripts listed below, to handle various zero-shot and fine-tuned downstream tasks. However, you can also finetune your model from a pretrained checkpoint on other corpora as desired. To do so, simply add the `--finetune` flag and adjust the input files and training parameters within the original training script. The iteration count will be reset to zero, and the optimizer and internal state will be reinitialized. If the fine-tuning is interrupted for any reason, be sure to remove the `--finetune` flag before continuing, otherwise the training will start again from the beginning.
+<!--
 Because evaluation requires substantially less memory than training, it may be advantageous to merge a model trained in parallel for use on a single GPU in downstream tasks. The following script accomplishes this.

 ## Collecting Wikipedia Training Data
 We recommend following the Wikipedia data extraction process specified by Google research: "the recommended pre-processing is to download [the latest dump](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2), extract the text with [WikiExtractor.py](https://github.com/attardi/wikiextractor), and then apply any necessary cleanup to convert it into plain text."
-We recommend using the `--json` argument when using WikiExtractor, which will dump the Wikipedia data into loose json format (one json per line), making it more manageable on the file system and also readily consumable by our codebase. We recommend further preprocessing this json dataset by nltk punctuation standardization. For BERT training, add newlines between sentences during data preprocessing. This is done with the `--split-sentences` flag in `preprocess_data.py` as described [above](#data-preprocessing). (Note that if you'd like to use Wikipedia data for GPT-2 training you should still clean it with nltk/spacy/ftfy, but do not split it into newline separated sentences.)
