<= 2.1Python >= 3.7CUDA >= 11.0NVIDIA GPU Compute Capability>= 7.0 (V100/RTX20 and higher)Linux OSIf you encounter any problem with installation, you may want to raise anissuein this repository.Install from PyPIYou can easily install Colossal-AI with the following command.By default, we do not build PyTorch extensions during installation.pipinstallcolossalaiNote: only Linux is supported for now.However, if you want to build the PyTorch extensions during installation, you can setBUILD_EXT=1.BUILD_EXT=1pipinstallcolossalaiOtherwise, CUDA kernels will be built during runtime when you actually need them.We also keep releasing the nightly version to PyPI every week. This allows you to access the unreleased features and bug fixes in the main branch.
Installation can be made viapipinstallcolossalai-nightlyDownload From SourceThe version of Colossal-AI will be in line with the main branch of the repository. Feel free to raise an issue if you encounter any problems. :)gitclonehttps://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.gitcdColossalAI# install colossalaipipinstall.By default, we do not compile CUDA/C++ kernels. ColossalAI will build them during runtime.
If you want to install and enable CUDA kernel fusion (compulsory installation when using fused optimizer):BUILD_EXT=1pipinstall.For Users with CUDA 10.2, you can still build ColossalAI from source. However, you need to manually download the cub library and copy it to the corresponding directory.# clone the repositorygitclonehttps://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.gitcdColossalAI# download the cub librarywgethttps://github.com/NVIDIA/cub/archive/refs/tags/1.8.0.zip

abstract = {The success of Transformer models has pushed the deep learning model scale to billions of parameters, but the memory limitation of a single GPU has led to an urgent need for training on multi-GPU clusters. However, the best practice for choosing the optimal parallel strategy is still lacking, as it requires domain expertise in both deep learning and parallel computing. The Colossal-AI system addressed the above challenge by introducing a unified interface to scale your sequential code of model training to distributed environments. It supports parallel training methods such as data, pipeline, tensor, and sequence parallelism and is integrated with heterogeneous training and zero redundancy optimizer. Compared to the baseline system, Colossal-AI can achieve up to 2.76 times training speedup on large-scale models.},
