NVIDIA Megatron 是一个基于 PyTorch 的分布式训练框架，用来训练超大Transformer语言模型，其通过综合应用了数据并行，Tensor并行和Pipeline并行来复现 GPT3，值得我们深入分析其背后机理。
本系列大概有6～7篇文章，通过论文和源码和大家一起学习研究。本文将对 Megatron 的基本架构做一下梳理。

0x01 启动
1.1 分布式启动
启动脚本在 examples/pretrain_bert_distributed.sh，其利用了 torch.distributed.launch 来启动多个进程。具体业务代码是 pretrain_bert.py。
因为 GPUS_PER_NODE 是8，所以 nproc_per_node 是8，这样，在本机上就启动了8个进程，每个进程之中含有模型的一部分。进程的 rank 是被 torch.distributed.launch 调用 elastic 自动分配的。

pretrain(train_valid_test_datasets_provider, model_provider,
ModelType.encoder_or_decoder,
forward_step, args_defaults={'tokenizer_type': 'BertWordPieceLowerCase'})1.2.1 获取模型
model_provider返回模型普通版本（vanilla version）。所谓vanilla，我们指的是一个简单的cpu模型，没有 fp16或 ddp，但是已经被 Megatron 改造为并行的版本。

return model1.2.2 获取数据集
train_valid_test_datasets_provider 会接受train/valid/test数据集的大小，并返回 “train，valid，test” 数据集。

return train_ds, valid_ds, test_ds1.2.3 步进函数
forward_step函数接受一个“数据迭代器”和“模型”，并返回一个“loss”标量，该标量带有一个字典，其中key:value是希望在训练期间监视的信息，例如“lm loss:value”。还要求此函数将“batch generator”添加到timers类中。

output_tensor = model(tokens, padding_mask, tokentype_ids=types,
lm_labels=lm_labels)
return output_tensor, partial(loss_func, loss_mask, sentence_order)1.2.3.1 广播数据
forward_step 会调用 get_batch 获取batch 数据，其内部会从迭代器获取数据，然后使用broadcast_data函数把输入数据从 rank 0 广播到所有tensor-model-parallel 其他 ranks之上。
注意，数据并行是把不同数据加载到不同的rank之上，而 Tensor模型并行组之中每个rank都加载同样数据。

0x02 Pretrain
BERT训练主要分为两步：
- Pre-train：pre-train是迁移学习的基础，是训练token-level的语义理解。
- Fine-tuning：在已经训练好的语言模型基础之上，加入特定领域（比如金融医疗）的参数来重新训练，比如对于分类问题就可以在pre-train模型基础之上加上一个softmax，再使用语料 fine-tune。
Pre-train 主要如下：
- 初始化Megatron。
- 使用model_provider设置模型、优化器和lr计划。
- 调用train_val_test_data_provider以获取train/val/test数据集。
- 使用forward_step_func训练模型。
具体代码如下：
代码语言：javascript复制def pretrain(train_valid_test_dataset_provider,
model_provider,
model_type,
forward_step_func,
extra_args_provider=None,
args_defaults={}):

return None3.2 初始化分布式环境
_initialize_distributed 代码位于 megatron/initialize.py，此方法会：
- 调用 torch.distributed.init_process_group 初始化分布式环境。
- 调用 mpu.initialize_model_parallel 来设置模型并行，数据并行等各种进程组，我们下文会重点讨论。
创建完worker进程之后，程序需要知道哪些进程在训练同一个模型，torch.distributed.init_process_group 就实现了这个功能。torch.distributed.init_process_group 会生成一个进程组，同组内进程训练同一个模型，也能确定用什么方式进行通信。进程组会给组内每个进程一个序号，就是gloabl rank，如果是多机并行，每个机器创建的进程之间也有一个序号，就是 local rank。如果是单机多卡并行，local rank 和 global rank是一致的。

args.pipeline_model_parallel_size,

因为调用了 mpu.initialize_model_parallel 来设置模型并行，数据并行等各种进程组，所以我们假定目前进程组都已经设置成功，所以每个 rank 对应的进程都有自己的全局变量。假定目前有16个GPU，属于两个node，rank 0 ～7 属于第一个节点，rank 8 ～ 15 属于第二个节点。下面的 gi 指的是第 i 个 GPU。
- _TENSOR_MODEL_PARALLEL_GROUP ：当前 rank 所属于的Intra-layer model parallel group，就是tensor 并行进程组。
- 假如每一层分为两个tensor，则 _TENSOR_MODEL_PARALLEL_GROUP 例子为：g0, g1, g2, g3, g4, g5, g6, g7, g8, g9, g10, g11, g12, g13, g14, g15。
- _PIPELINE_MODEL_PARALLEL_GROUP ：当前 rank 所属于的Intra-layer model parallel group，就是流水线进程组。
- 假如流水线深度为4，则例子为 g0, g4, g8, g12, g1, g5, g9, g13, g2, g6, g10, g14, g3, g7, g11, g15。
- _MODEL_PARALLEL_GROUP ：当前 rank 所属于的模型并行进程组，包括了以上两组。
- 针对我们例子，就是完整模型被复制了两份，两份分别对应的 GPU 具体是0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13，2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15
- _EMBEDDING_GROUP ： 嵌入对应的进程组。
- _DATA_PARALLEL_GROUP ：当前 rank 所属于的Data parallel group。
- 假如数据并行度数为2，则例子为g0, g2, g1, g3, g4, g6, g5, g7, g8, g10, g9, g11, g12, g14, g13, g15。

4.2.3.1 获取层数
这里一个重点就是获取层数，即获取本模型在并行处理状况下，应该拥有多少层。如果模型一共64层，流水线深度为16，则并行每个阶段有4层，则本子模型拥有4层。

return output4.3 get_model
现在让我们回到 get_model，把生成模型的流程整理出来。
BERT之中含有多个transformer，所以直接按照层数切分，每一层是一模一样的transformer layer。前面提到了，在我们样例之中启动了8个进程，每个进程里面有一个子模型，即原始BERT模型的部分层。但是怎么知道每个子模型包含了多少层？答案是：因为已经建立了各种进程组，所以 get_model 方法会依据目前进程组情况进行处理。单个进程内模型获取如下：
- 如果是有 virtual 设置，则会遍历 virtual size，生成对应数目的模型（BertModel）。
- 否则如果是 encoder_and_decoder，则针对split进行配置。
- 设置 tensor model parallel 属性。
- 把本模型放置到GPU之上。
- 如果需要数据并行，则配置DDP。
具体代码如下：

for key in losses_reduced[0]:
losses_reduced_for_key = [x[key] for x in losses_reduced]
loss_reduced[key] = sum(losses_reduced_for_key) / len(losses_reduced_for_key)
return loss_reduced, skipped_iter, grad_norm, num_zeros_in_grad
return {}, skipped_iter, grad_norm, num_zeros_in_grad6.3 获取schedule
get_forward_backward_func 获取 pipeline 的schedule，这里分为 flush 和 interleaving 两种，我们后续会分析这两种schedule。
代码语言：javascript复制def get_forward_backward_func():
args = get_args()
if mpu.get_pipeline_model_parallel_world_size() > 1:
if args.virtual_pipeline_model_parallel_size is not None:
forward_backward_func = forward_backward_pipelining_with_interleaving
else:
forward_backward_func = forward_backward_pipelining_without_interleaving
else:
forward_backward_func = forward_backward_no_pipelining
return forward_backward_func训练逻辑大体拓展为：
至此，Megatron 基本架构分析完毕，下一篇我们介绍模型并行设置。
