Summary of Bamboo

Bamboo is a system for running large scale DNNs using pipeline parallelism affordably, reliably, and efficiently on spot instances. It is built on top of DeepSpeed. It uses redundant computation in the pipeline by taking advantage of pipeline bubbles to enable low-pause recovery from failures.

Setup

Ensure you have the following requirements:

  • Python 3.7
  • PyTorch 1.10.0

Documentation has the following requirements:

  • TeX Live
  • Biber

First, create the virtual environment:

python -m venv --system-site-packages venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

For the documentation you may want to create a ~/.latexmkrc file containing the following (this example uses Evince):

$pdf_previewer = 'start evince';

Running

Start all commands with the following:

python -m project_pactum

For the documentation, go to the directory of whichever document you want to build and run the following:

latexmk -pvc

This command will recompile the LaTeX file as many times as needed and open it in your preferred PDF viewer. For modifications keep this command running, and the document recompiles automatically.
