The most simple and straightforward way to start training SOTA performance models with SuperGradients reproducible recipes. Just define your dataset path and where you want your checkpoints to be saved and you are good to go from your terminal!
Just make sure that you setup your dataset according to the data dir specified in the recipe.
python -m super_gradients.train_from_recipe --config-name=imagenet_regnetY architecture=regnetY800 dataset_interface.data_dir=<YOUR_Imagenet_LOCAL_PATH> ckpt_root_dir=<CHEKPOINT_DIRECTORY>Want to try our pre-trained models on your machine? Import SuperGradients, initialize your Trainer, and load your desired architecture and pre-trained weights from our SOTA model zoo
# The pretrained_weights argument will load a pre-trained architecture on the provided dataset
import super_gradients
model = models.get("model-name", pretrained_weights="pretrained-model-name")
Segmentation Quick Start
Quantization involves representing weights and biases in lower precision, resulting in reduced memory and computational requirements, making it useful for deploying models on devices with limited resources. The process can be done during training, called Quantization aware training, or after training, called post-training quantization. A full tutorial can be found here.
This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to fine-tune a YoloNAS model using a custom dataset. It also demonstrates how to utilize SG's QAT (Quantization-Aware Training) support. Additionally, it offers step-by-step instructions on deploying the model and performing benchmarking.
Knowledge Distillation is a training technique that uses a large model, teacher model, to improve the performance of a smaller model, the student model. Learn more about SuperGradients knowledge distillation training with our pre-trained BEiT base teacher model and Resnet18 student model on CIFAR10 example notebook on Google Colab for an easy to use tutorial using free GPU hardware
To train a model, it is necessary to configure 4 main components.
These components are aggregated into a single "main" recipe .yaml file that inherits the aforementioned dataset, architecture, raining and checkpoint params.
It is also possible (and recommended for flexibility) to override default settings with custom ones.
All recipes can be found here
Recipes support out of the box every model, metric or loss that is implemented in SuperGradients, but you can easily extend this to any custom object that you need by "registering it". Check out this tutorial for more information.
Recent Deep Learning models are growing larger and larger to an extent that training on a single GPU can take weeks. In order to train models in a timely fashion, it is necessary to train them with multiple GPUs. Using 100s GPUs can reduce training time of a model from a week to less than an hour.
Each GPU has its own process, which controls a copy of the model and which loads its own mini-batch from disk and sends it to its GPU during training. After the forward pass is completed on every GPU, the gradient is reduced across all GPUs, yielding to all the GPUs having the same gradient locally. This leads to the model weights to stay synchronized across all GPUs after the backward pass.
You can use SuperGradients to train your model with DDP in just a few lines.
main.py
from super_gradients import init_trainer, Trainer
from super_gradients.common import MultiGPUMode
from super_gradients.training.utils.distributed_training_utils import setup_device
# Initialize the environment
init_trainer()
# Launch DDP on 4 GPUs'
setup_device(multi_gpu=MultiGPUMode.DISTRIBUTED_DATA_PARALLEL, num_gpus=4)
# Call the trainer
Trainer(expriment_name=...)
# Everything you do below will run on 4 gpus
...
Trainer.train(...)Finally, you can launch your distributed training with a simple python call.
python main.pyPlease note that if you work with torch<1.9.0 (deprecated), you will have to launch your training with either
torch.distributed.launch or torchrun, in which case nproc_per_node will overwrite the value set with gpu_mode:
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 main.pytorchrun --nproc_per_node=4 main.pyIt is often in DDP training that we want to execute code on the master rank (i.e rank 0). In SG, users usually execute their own code by triggering "Phase Callbacks" (see "Using phase callbacks" section below). One can make sure the desired code will only be ran on rank 0, using ddp_silent_mode or the multi_process_safe decorator. For example, consider the simple phase callback below, that uploads the first 3 images of every batch during training to the Tensorboard:
from super_gradients.training.utils.callbacks import PhaseCallback, PhaseContext, Phase
from super_gradients.common.environment.env_helpers import multi_process_safe
class Upload3TrainImagesCalbback(PhaseCallback):
def __init__(
self,
):
super().__init__(phase=Phase.TRAIN_BATCH_END)
@multi_process_safe
def __call__(self, context: PhaseContext):
batch_imgs = context.inputs.cpu().detach().numpy()
tag = "batch_" + str(context.batch_idx) + "_images"
context.sg_logger.add_images(tag=tag, images=batch_imgs[: 3], global_step=context.epoch)The @multi_process_safe decorator ensures that the callback will only be triggered by rank 0. Alternatively, this can also be done by the SG trainer boolean attribute (which the phase context has access to), ddp_silent_mode, which is set to False iff the current process rank is zero (even after the process group has been killed):
from super_gradients.training.utils.callbacks import PhaseCallback, PhaseContext, Phase
class Upload3TrainImagesCalbback(PhaseCallback):
def __init__(
self,
):
super().__init__(phase=Phase.TRAIN_BATCH_END)
def __call__(self, context: PhaseContext):
if not context.ddp_silent_mode:
batch_imgs = context.inputs.cpu().detach().numpy()
tag = "batch_" + str(context.batch_idx) + "_images"
context.sg_logger.add_images(tag=tag, images=batch_imgs[: 3], global_step=context.epoch)Note that ddp_silent_mode can be accessed through SgTrainer.ddp_silent_mode. Hence, it can be used in scripts after calling SgTrainer.train() when some part of it should be ran on rank 0 only.
Your total batch size will be (number of gpus x batch size), so you might want to increase your learning rate. There is no clear rule, but a rule of thumb seems to be to linearly increase the learning rate with the number of gpus
