Currently, when calculating metrics in DPOTrainer, the values are moved to the CPU and the mean is calculated. However, when doing this, the cost of moving the values to the CPU is very large.

So I changed the device order to improve speed. Below are the torch profiler results before and after changing the order in my experiment.

cpu

As shown in the figure, the operation to move to the CPU has a similar cost to the forward of the model.

gpu

After making the change, the time taken has decreased significantly.
