Getting Started
This guide describes how to get started with the Training Operator and run a few simple examples.
Prerequisites
You need to install the following components to run examples:
Getting Started with PyTorchJob
You can create your first Training Operator distributed PyTorchJob using the Python SDK. Define the training function that implements end-to-end model training. Each Worker will execute this function on the appropriate Kubernetes Pod. Usually, this function contains logic to download dataset, create model, and train the model.
The Training Operator will automatically set WORLD_SIZE
and RANK
for the appropriate PyTorchJob
worker to perform PyTorch Distributed Data Parallel (DDP).
If you install the Training Operator as part of the Kubeflow Platform, you can open a new
Kubeflow Notebook to run this script. If you
install the Training Operator standalone, make sure that you
configure local kubeconfig
to access your Kubernetes cluster where you installed the Training Operator.
def train_func():
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch.utils.data import DistributedSampler
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
import torch.distributed as dist
# [1] Setup PyTorch DDP. Distributed environment will be set automatically by Training Operator.
dist.init_process_group(backend="nccl")
Distributor = torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel
local_rank = int(os.getenv("LOCAL_RANK", 0))
print(
"Distributed Training for WORLD_SIZE: {}, RANK: {}, LOCAL_RANK: {}".format(
dist.get_world_size(),
dist.get_rank(),
local_rank,
)
)
# [2] Create PyTorch CNN Model.
class Net(torch.nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(Net, self).__init__()
self.conv1 = torch.nn.Conv2d(1, 20, 5, 1)
self.conv2 = torch.nn.Conv2d(20, 50, 5, 1)
self.fc1 = torch.nn.Linear(4 * 4 * 50, 500)
self.fc2 = torch.nn.Linear(500, 10)
def forward(self, x):
x = F.relu(self.conv1(x))
x = F.max_pool2d(x, 2, 2)
x = F.relu(self.conv2(x))
x = F.max_pool2d(x, 2, 2)
x = x.view(-1, 4 * 4 * 50)
x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
x = self.fc2(x)
return F.log_softmax(x, dim=1)
# [3] Attach model to the correct GPU device and distributor.
device = torch.device(f"cuda:{local_rank}")
model = Net().to(device)
model = Distributor(model)
optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=0.01, momentum=0.5)
# [4] Setup FashionMNIST dataloader and distribute data across PyTorchJob workers.
dataset = datasets.FashionMNIST(
"./data",
download=True,
train=True,
transform=transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor()]),
)
train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
dataset=dataset,
batch_size=128,
sampler=DistributedSampler(dataset),
)
# [5] Start model Training.
for epoch in range(3):
for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
# Attach Tensors to the device.
data = data.to(device)
target = target.to(device)
optimizer.zero_grad()
output = model(data)
loss = F.nll_loss(output, target)
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
if batch_idx % 10 == 0 and dist.get_rank() == 0:
print(
"Train Epoch: {} [{}/{} ({:.0f}%)]\tloss={:.4f}".format(
epoch,
batch_idx * len(data),
len(train_loader.dataset),
100.0 * batch_idx / len(train_loader),
loss.item(),
)
)
from kubeflow.training import TrainingClient
# Start PyTorchJob with 3 Workers and 1 GPU per Worker (e.g. multi-node, multi-worker job).
TrainingClient().create_job(
name="pytorch-ddp",
train_func=train_func,
num_procs_per_worker="auto",
num_workers=3,
resources_per_worker={"gpu": "1"},
)
Getting Started with TFJob
Similar to the PyTorchJob example, you can use the Python SDK to create your first distributed
TensorFlow job. Run the following script to create TFJob with pre-created Docker image:
docker.io/kubeflow/tf-mnist-with-summaries:latest
that contains
distributed TensorFlow code:
from kubeflow.training import TrainingClient
TrainingClient().create_job(
name="tensorflow-dist",
job_kind="TFJob",
base_image="docker.io/kubeflow/tf-mnist-with-summaries:latest",
num_workers=3,
)
Run the following API to get logs from your TFJob:
TrainingClient().get_job_logs(
name="tensorflow-dist",
job_kind="TFJob",
follow=True,
)
Next steps
Run the FashionMNIST example with using Training Operator Python SDK.
