## Megatron-DeepSpeed
DeepSpeed version of NVIDIA's Megatron-LM that adds additional support for several features such as MoE model training, Curriculum Learning, 3D Parallelism, and others. The ```examples_deepspeed/``` folder includes example scripts about the features supported by DeepSpeed.

### Recent sync with NVIDIA/Megatron-LM
In July 2023, we had a sync with the NVIDIA/Megatron-LM repo (where this repo is forked from) by git-merging 1100+ commits. Details can be found in the ```examples_deepspeed/rebase``` folder. Given the amount of merged commits, bugs can happen in the cases that we haven't tested, and your contribution (bug report, bug fix pull request) is highly welcomed. We also created a [backup branch](https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/tree/before_rebase) which is the version before this sync. This backup branch is just for comparison tests and for temporary use when you need to debug the main branch. We do not plan to continue supporting the version before sync.

### Run on Azure and AzureML
To try out DeepSpeed on Azure, this fork of Megatron offers easy-to-use recipes and bash scripts. We strongly recommend to start with AzureML recipe in the ```examples_deepspeed/azureml``` folder. If you have a custom infrastructure (e.g. HPC clusters) or Azure VM based environment, please refer to the bash scripts in the ```examples_deepspeed/azure``` folder.

As a reference performance number, our measurements show that our example is able to achieve a throughput up to 145 TFLOPs per GPU when pre-training a 1.3B BERT model (with ZeRO stage-1, without model parallelism, with 64 NVIDIA A100 GPUs, with batch size 4096 (64 per GPU), with activation checkpointing).

One thing to note is that this pre-training recipe is NOT a strict reproduction of the [original BERT paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805): the Pile data is larger than the data used in original BERT (and the data used by Megatron paper); Megatron-LM introduces some changes to the BERT model (see details in [Megatron paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08053)); the training hyperparameters are also different. Overall these differences lead to longer training time but also better model quality than original BERT (see MNLI score below), and supporting large model scale by the combination of ZeRO and model parallelism. If you don't have enough computation budget, we recommend to reduce the total training iterations (```train_iters``` in the script) and potentially increase the learning rate at the same time. If you want to strictly reproduce original BERT, we recommend to use our [another BERT example](https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeedExamples/tree/master/bing_bert).

## BERT MNLI fine-tuning
```ds_finetune_bert_mnli.sh``` is the script for BERT MNLI fine-tuning, following the hyperparameters in the [Megatron paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08053). As a reference, table below present the scores using the model pre-trained based on the script above, comparing with the scores of original BERT and Megatron paper's BERT. Our BERT-Large's score is slightly lower than Megatron paper's, mainly due to the different data we used (Pile data is much diverse and larger than the data in Megatron paper, which potentially has negative effect on small million-scale models).

# July 2023 sync with NVIDIA/Megatron-LM
This folder includes details about the recent sync with the NVIDIA/Megatron-LM repo (where this repo is forked from). It includes example scripts we used to test after the sync, together with this README documentation about what were tested.

We also created a [backup branch](https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/tree/before_rebase) which is the version before this sync. This branch is just for comparison tests and for temporary use when debugging the main branch. We do not plan to continue supporting the version before sync.

## Notes/TODOs
* After the sync, DeepSpeed still relies on the older activation checkpointing mechanism (see function ```_checkpointed_forward``` in ```Megatron-DeepSpeed/megatron/model/transformer.py```) since we didn't have time to integrate with the new version yet. Contribution is very welcomed.
* (Aug 2023 update) With the contribution from 3P users (https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/pull/225), now it's also possible to use Megatron-LM's newer activation checkpointing mechanism. However, currently it's still not compatible with DeepSpeed, so you won't be able to combine it with any DeepSpeed technologies. We DeepSpeed team compared the [older mechanism](ds_pretrain_gpt_1.3B.sh) and [newer mechanism](ds_pretrain_gpt_1.3B_megatron_checkpointing.sh) on 1 DGX-2 node (16 V100), and found that the older mechanism has less memory saving (older max allocated 15241 MB, newer 12924 MB) and higher throughput (older 23.11 TFLOPs newer 17.26 TFLOPs). Thus currently we still recommend using the older mechanism both because of the similar checkpointing performance, and (more importantly) because only older mechnaism is compatible with DeepSpeed (and in this case you can combine with ZeRO to achieve more memeory saving).

This resumption script effects the loading of universal checkpoint rather than the ZeRO checkpoint in the folder by passing `--universal-checkpoint` command line flag to the main training script (i.e., `pretrain_gpt.py`).

Please see the corresponding [pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/pull/276) for visualizations of matching loss values between original and universal checkpoint runs for bf16 and fp16 examples.

Combining sequence parallelism with data parallelism is another good use case for universal checkpointing, see [sp pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed/pull/4752) for example and visualization of matching loss values.

Notes: The model weights using the ```--no-pipeline-parallel``` parameter and the model weights not using the ```--no-pipeline-parallel``` parameter are currently not supported for mutual conversion.
