Proposed API:
accelerate launch
now allows for a configured pod setup through three new params/config items:use_cluster
, whether to use a TPU clustervm
, this mimicsxla_dist
'svm
argument and is a list of single compute VM names if you are not using an instance group. (generally not needed)env
, this is a list of environment variables to set on each of the compute VM instancesCurrently we only support non-Docker, as GCP doesn't support docker yet on the larger pods.
To launch a script on a TPU pod, the API will look like such:
Fully configured:
No configuration:
Note that if file permissions are given on your GCP cluster, there is a
--tpu_use_sudo
flag for this, and I recommend also doingsudo accelerate launch ...
plussudo pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate
. On my specific configuration it was needed, but other users reported they didn't so it's optional.Closes #501 and closes #471
