4.3 多GPU并行训练

在我们进行神经网络训练的时候,因为计算量巨大所以单个GPU运算会使得计算时间很长,使得我们不能够及时的得到结果,例如我们如果使用但GPU使用ImageNet的数据训练一个分类器,可能会花费一周甚至一个月的时间。所以在Pytorch中引入了多GPU计算的机制,这样使得训练速度可以指数级的增长。

stanford大学的DAWNBench 就记录了目前为止的一些使用多GPU计算的记录和实现代码,有兴趣的可以看看。

这章里面我们要介绍的三个方式来使用多GPU加速。

4.3.1 torch.nn.DataParalle

一般情况下我们都会使用一台主机带多个显卡,这样是一个最节省预算的方案,在Pytorch中为我们提供了一个非常简单的方法来支持但主机多GPU,那就torch.nn.DataParalle 我们只要将我们自己的模型作为参数,直接传入即可,剩下的事情PyTorch都为我们做了。

#使用内置的一个模型,我们这里以resnet50为例
model = torchvision.models.resnet50()
#模型使用多GPU
mdp = torch.nn.DataParallel(model)

只要这样一个简单的包裹,Pytorch已经为我们做了很多复杂的工作。我们只需要增大我们训练的batch_size(一般计算为N倍,N为显卡数量),其他代码不需要任何改动。

虽然代码不需要做更改,但是batch size太大了训练收敛会很慢,所以还要把学习率调大一点。大学率也会使得模型的训练在早期的阶段变得十分不稳定,所以这里需要一个学习率的热身(warm up) 来稳定梯度的下降,然后在逐步的提高学习率。

这种热身只有在超级大的批次下才需要进行,一般我们这种一机4卡或者说在batch size 小于 5000(个人测试)基本上是不需要的。例如最近富士通使用2048个GPU,74秒训练完成resnet50的实验中使用的batch size 为 81920 arivx这种超大的size才需要。

DataParallel的并行处理机制是,首先将模型加载到主 GPU 上(默认的第一个GPU,GPU0为主GPU),然后再将模型复制到各个指定的从 GPU 中,然后将输入数据按 batch 维度进行划分,具体来说就是每个 GPU 分配到的数据 batch 数量是总输入数据的 batch 除以指定 GPU 个数。每个 GPU 将针对各自的输入数据独立进行 forward 计算,最后将各个 GPU 的 loss 进行求和,再用反向传播更新单个 GPU 上的模型参数,再将更新后的模型参数复制到剩余指定的 GPU 中,这样就完成了一次迭代计算。

DataParallel其实也是一个nn.Model所以我们可以保存权重的方法和一般的nn.Model没有区别,只不过如果你想使用单卡或者cpu作为推理的时候需要从里面读出原始的model。

DataParallel会将定义的网络模型参数默认放在GPU 0上,所以dataparallel实质是可以看做把训练参数从GPU拷贝到其他的GPU同时训练,这样会导致内存和GPU使用率出现很严重的负载不均衡现象,即GPU 0的使用内存和使用率会大大超出其他显卡的使用内存,因为在这里GPU0作为master来进行梯度的汇总和模型的更新,再将计算任务下发给其他GPU,所以他的内存和使用率会比其他的高。

所以我们使用新的torch.distributed来构建更为同步的分布式运算。使用torch.distributed不仅可以支持单机还可以支持多个主机,多个GPU进行计算。

4.3.2 torch.distributed

torch.distributed相对于torch.nn.DataParalle 是一个底层的API,所以我们要修改我们的代码,使其能够独立的在机器(节点)中运行。我们想要完全实现分布式,并且在每个结点的每个GPU上独立运行进程,这一共需要N个进程。N是我们的GPU总数,这里我们以4来计算。

首先 初始化分布式后端,封装模型以及准备数据,这些数据用于在独立的数据子集中训练进程。修改后的代码如下:

# 以下脚本在jupyter notebook执行肯定会不成功,请保存成py文件后测试
from torch.utils.data.distributed import DistributedSampler
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

# 这里的node_rank是本地GPU的标识
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--node_rank", type=int)
args = parser.parse_args()

# 使用Nvdea的nccl来初始化节点 
torch.distributed.init_process_group(backend='nccl')

# 封装分配给当前进程的GPU上的模型
device = torch.device('cuda', arg.local_rank)
model = model.to(device)
distrib_model = torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel(model,
                                                          device_ids=[args.node_rank],
                                                          output_device=args.node_rank)

# 将数据加载限制为数据集的子集(不包括当前进程)
sampler = DistributedSampler(dataset)

dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, sampler=sampler)
for inputs, labels in dataloader:
    predictions = distrib_model(inputs.to(device))         # 正向传播
    loss = loss_function(predictions, labels.to(device))   # 计算损失
    loss.backward()                                        # 反向传播
    optimizer.step()                                       # 优化

在运行时我们也不能简单的使用python 文件名来执行了,我们这里需要使用PyTorch中为我们准备好的torch.distributed.launch运行脚本。它能自动进行环境变量的设置,并使用正确的node_rank参数调用脚本。

这里我们要准备一台机器作为master,所有的机器都要求能对它进行访问。因此,它需要拥有一个可以访问的IP地址(示例中为:196.168.100.100)以及一个开放的端口(示例中为:6666)。我们将使用torch.distributed.launch在第一台机器上运行脚本:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=2 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=0 --master_addr="192.168.100.100" --master_port=6666 文件名 (--arg1 --arg2 等其他参数)
第二台主机上只需要更改 --node_rank=0即可

很有可能你在运行的时候报错,那是因为我们没有设置NCCL socket网络接口。 我们以网卡名为ens3为例,输入:

export NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME=ens3
ens3这个名称,可以使用ifconfig命令查看确认。

参数说明:

--nproc_per_node : 主机中包含的GPU总数

--nnodes : 总计的主机数

--node_rank :主机中的GPU标识

其他一些参数可以查看官方的文档

torch.distributed 不仅支持nccl还支持其他的两个后端 gloo和mpi,具体的对比这里就不细说了,请查看官方的文档

4.3.3 torch.utils.checkpoint

在我们训练时,可能会遇到(目前我还没遇到)训练集的单个样本比内存还要大根本载入不了,那我我们如何来训练呢?

pytorch为我们提供了梯度检查点(gradient-checkpointing)节省计算资源,梯度检查点会将我们连续计算的元正向和元反向传播切分成片段。但由于需要增加额外的计算以减少内存需求,该方法效率会有一些下降,但是它在某些示例中有较为明显的优势,比如在长序列上训练RNN模型,这个由于复现难度较大 就不介绍了,官方文档在这里 遇到这种情况的朋友可以查看下官方的解决方案。
