# HF Trainer benchmarking tool
#
# This tool can be used to run and compare multiple dimensions of the HF Trainers args.
#
# It then prints a report once in github format with all the information that needs to be shared
# with others and second time in a console-friendly format, so it's easier to use for tuning things up.
#
# The main idea is:
#
#     ./trainer-benchmark.py --base-cmd '<cmd args that don't change>' \
#     --variations '--tf32 0|--tf32 1' '--fp16 0|--fp16 1|--bf16 1' \
#     --target-metric-key train_samples_per_second
#
# The variations can be any command line argument that you want to compare and not just dtype as in
# the example.
#
# --variations allows you to compare variations in multiple dimensions.
#
# as the first dimention has 2 options and the second 3 in our example, this will run the trainer 6
# times adding one of:
#
#    1. --tf32 0 --fp16 0
#    2. --tf32 0 --fp16 1
#    3. --tf32 0 --bf16 1
#    4. --tf32 1 --fp16 0
#    5. --tf32 1 --fp16 1
#    6. --tf32 1 --bf16 1
#
# and print the results. This is just a cartesian product - and more than 2 dimensions can be used.
#
# If you want to rely on defaults, this:
#    --variations '--tf32 0|--tf32 1' '--fp16 0|--fp16 1|--bf16 1'
# is identical to this:
#    --variations '--tf32 0|--tf32 1' '|--fp16|--bf16'
#
# the leading empty variation in the 2nd dimension is a valid variation.
#
# So here we get the following 6 variations:
#
#    1. --tf32 0
#    2. --tf32 0 --fp16
#    3. --tf32 0 --bf16
#    4. --tf32 1
#    5. --tf32 1 --fp16
#    6. --tf32 1 --bf16
#
# In this particular case we don't know what the default tf32 setting is as it's normally
# pytorch-version dependent). That's why it's best to do an explicit setting of each variation:
#    `--tf32 0|--tf32 1`
#
# Here is a full example of a train:
#
# CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python ./scripts/benchmark/trainer-benchmark.py \
# --base-cmd \
# ' examples/pytorch/translation/run_translation.py --model_name_or_path t5-small \
# --output_dir output_dir --do_train --label_smoothing 0.1 --logging_strategy no \
# --save_strategy no --per_device_train_batch_size 32 --max_source_length 512 \
# --max_target_length 512 --num_train_epochs 1 --overwrite_output_dir \
# --source_lang en --target_lang ro --dataset_name wmt16 --dataset_config "ro-en" \
# --source_prefix "translate English to Romanian: " --warmup_steps 50 \
# --max_train_samples 20000 --dataloader_num_workers 2 ' \
# --target-metric-key train_samples_per_second --repeat-times 1 --variations \
# '|--fp16|--bf16' '--tf32 0|--tf32 1' --report-metric-keys train_loss \
# --repeat-times 1 --base-variation '--tf32 0'
#
# and here is a possible output:
#
#
# | Variation       |     Train |   Diff |   Train |
# |                 |   samples |      % |    loss |
# |                 |       per |        |         |
# |                 |    second |        |         |
# |:----------------|----------:|-------:|--------:|
# | --tf32 0        |    285.11 |      0 |    2.51 |
# | --tf32 1        |    342.09 |     20 |    2.51 |
# | --fp16 --tf32 0 |    423.49 |     49 |    2.51 |
# | --fp16 --tf32 1 |    423.13 |     48 |    2.51 |
# | --bf16 --tf32 0 |    416.80 |     46 |    2.52 |
# | --bf16 --tf32 1 |    415.87 |     46 |    2.52 |
#
#
# So you can quickly compare the different outcomes.
#
# Typically running each experiment once is enough, but if the environment is unstable you can
# re-run each multiple times, e.g., 3 using --repeat-times 3 and it will report the averaged results.
#
# By default it'll use the lowest result as the base line to use as 100% and then compare the rest to
# it as can be seen from the table above, but you can also specify which combination is the one to use as
# the baseline, e.g., to change to another entry use: --base-variation '--tf32 1 --fp16 0'
#
# --target-metric-key is there to tell the program which metrics to compare - the different metric keys are
# inside output_dir/all_results.json. e.g., to measure eval performance instead of train use:
#    --target-metric-key eval_samples_per_second
# but of course you will need to adjust the --base-cmd value in the example to perform evaluation as
# well (as currently it doesn't)
