Overview

This directory includes two parts: Using the Booster API finetune Huggingface Bert and AlBert models and benchmarking Bert and AlBert models with different Booster Plugin.

Finetune

bash test_ci.sh

Bert-Finetune Results

Plugin	Accuracy	F1-score	GPU number
torch_ddp	84.4%	88.6%	2
torch_ddp_fp16	84.7%	88.8%	2
gemini	84.0%	88.4%	2
hybrid_parallel	84.5%	88.6%	4

Benchmark

bash benchmark.sh

Now include these metrics in benchmark: CUDA mem occupy, throughput and the number of model parameters. If you have custom metrics, you can add them to benchmark_util.
