# Vision Transformer with ColoTensor
|
|
|
|
# Overview
|
|
|
|
In this example, we will run Vision Transformer with ColoTensor.
|
|
|
|
We use model **ViTForImageClassification** from Hugging Face [Link](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/vit) for unit test.
|
|
You can change world size or decide whether use DDP in our code.
|
|
|
|
We use model **vision_transformer** from timm [Link](https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models/blob/master/timm/models/vision_transformer.py) for training example.
|
|
|
|
(2022/6/28) The default configuration now supports 2DP+2TP with gradient accumulation and checkpoint support. Zero is not supported at present.
|
|
|
|
# Requirement
|
|
|
|
Install colossalai version >= 0.1.11
|
|
|
|
## Unit test
|
|
To run unit test, you should install pytest, transformers with:
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install pytest transformers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Training example
|
|
To run training example with ViT-S, you should install **NVIDIA DALI** from [Link](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dali/user-guide/docs/installation.html) for dataloader support.
|
|
You also need to install timm and titans for model/dataloader support with:
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install timm titans
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Data preparation
|
|
You can download the ImageNet dataset from the [ImageNet official website](https://www.image-net.org/download.php). You should get the raw images after downloading the dataset. As we use **NVIDIA DALI** to read data, we use the TFRecords dataset instead of raw Imagenet dataset. This offers better speedup to IO. If you don't have TFRecords dataset, follow [imagenet-tools](https://github.com/ver217/imagenet-tools) to build one.
|
|
|
|
Before you start training, you need to set the environment variable `DATA` so that the script knows where to fetch the data for DALI dataloader.
|
|
```shell
|
|
export DATA=/path/to/ILSVRC2012
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How to run
|
|
|
|
## Unit test
|
|
In your terminal
|
|
```shell
|
|
pytest test_vit.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will evaluate models with different **world_size** and **use_ddp**.
|
|
|
|
## Training example
|
|
Modify the settings in run.sh according to your environment.
|
|
For example, if you set `--nproc_per_node=8` in `run.sh` and `TP_WORLD_SIZE=2` in your config file,
|
|
data parallel size will be automatically calculated as 4.
|
|
Thus, the parallel strategy is set to 4DP+2TP.
|
|
|
|
Then in your terminal
|
|
```shell
|
|
sh run.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start ViT-S training with ImageNet.
