## 📚 Overview
This example lets you to quickly try out the hybrid parallelism provided by Colossal-AI.
You can change the parameters below to try out different settings in the `config.py`.
```python
# parallel setting
TENSOR_PARALLEL_SIZE = 2
TENSOR_PARALLEL_MODE = '1d'
parallel = dict(
pipeline=2,
tensor=dict(mode=TENSOR_PARALLEL_MODE, size=TENSOR_PARALLEL_SIZE),
)
```
## 🚀 Quick Start
1. Install PyTorch
2. Install the dependencies.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Run the training scripts with synthetic data.
```bash
colossalai run --nproc_per_node 4 train.py --config config.py
```
4. Modify the config file to play with different types of tensor parallelism, for example, change tensor parallel size to be 4 and mode to be 2d and run on 8 GPUs.
