Installing BMTrain may take a few to ten minutes, as it requires compiling the c/cuda source code at the time of installation.
We recommend compiling BMTrain directly in the training environment to avoid potential problems caused by the different environments.

# Update Log 0.2.3

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OpenBMB/BMTrain/compare/0.2.0...0.2.3


## What's New

### 1. Get rid of torch cpp extension when compiling

Before 0.2.3, the installation of BMTrain requires the torch cpp extension, which is not friendly to some users (it requires CUDA Runtime fits with torch). Now we get rid of the torch cpp extension when compiling BMTrain, which makes the source-code way installation of BMTrain more convenient.
Just run `pip install .` to install BMTrain using source code.

### 2. CICD

In 0.2.3, we bring the Github action CICD to BMTrain. Now we can run the CI/CD pipeline on Github to ensure the quality of the code. CICD will run the test cases and compile the source code into wheel packages.

### 3. Loss scale management

In 0.2.3, we add the min and max loss scale to the loss scale manager. The loss scale manager can adjust the loss scale dynamically according to the loss scale's min and max value. This feature can help users to avoid the loss scale being too large or too small.


### 3. Others

* Fix `bmt.load(model)` OOM when meets torch >= 1.12
* `AdamOffloadOptimizer` can choose avx flag automatically in runtime
* Now BMTrain is fully compatible with torch 2.0

# Update Log 1.0.0

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OpenBMB/BMTrain/compare/0.2.3...1.0.0

## What's New

### 1. Using pytorch's hook mechanism to refactor ZeRO, checkpoint, pipeline, communication implementation

Now user can specify zero level of each `bmt.CheckpointBlock`.

**======= Before 1.0.0 =======**

```python
import bmtrain as bmt
bmt.init_distributed(zero_level=3)

```

The zero level setting can only set globally and computation checkpointing can not be disabled.
For `bmt.TransformerBlockList`, it has to call a blocklist forward instead of a loop way

**======= After 1.0.0 =======**

```python
import bmtrain as bmt
bmt.init_distributed()
# construct block
class Transformer(bmt.DistributedModule):
def __init__(self,
num_layers : int) -> None:
super().__init__()

self.transformers = bmt.TransformerBlockList([
bmt.Block(
TransformerEncoder(
dim_model, dim_head, num_heads, dim_ff, bias, dtype
), use_checkpoint=True, zero_level=3
)
for _ in range(num_layers)
])

def forward(self):
# return self.transformers(x) v0.2.3 can only forward in this way
for block in self.transformers:
x = block(x)
return x

```

You can specify the zero level of each `bmt.CheckpointBlock` (alias of `bmt.Block`) and computation checkpointing can be disabled by setting `use_checkpoint=False` . For `bmt.TransformerBlockList`, it can be called in a loop way.


### 2. Add Bf16 support

Now BMTrain supports Bf16 training. You can simply use `dtype=torch.bfloat16' in your model construction method and BMTrain will handle the rest.

### 3. Tensor parallel implementation

For this part, BMTrain only provides a series of parallel ops for Tensor parallel implementation, including `bmt.nn.OpParallelLinear` and `bmt.nn.VPEmbedding` . We also provide a Tensor Parallel training example in our training example. You can simply use `bmt.init_distributed(tp_size=4)` to enable a 4-way tensor parallel training.

### 4. `AdamOffloadOptimizer` can save whole gathered state

Now `AdamOffloadOptimizer` can save whole gathered state. This feature can help users to save the whole gathered state of the optimizer, which can be used to resume training from the saved state. For better performance, we provide async-way save state_dict to overlap I/O and computation.
```python
import bmtrain as bmt
# you can enbale this feature in two ways: Optimmanager's or optimizer's interface
global_ckpt = bmt.optim.Optimmanager.state_dict(gather_opt=True)
global_ckpt = optimizer.state_dict(gather=True)
```
### Others

* New test for new version BMTrain
