1. Training setup

To run the model using a docker container run it as follows

PYTORCH_IMAGE=nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:24.01-py3
CHECKPOINT_PATH="" #<Specify path>
TENSORBOARD_LOGS_PATH=""#<Specify path>
VOCAB_FILE="" #<Specify path to file>/gpt2-vocab.json
MERGE_FILE="" #<Specify path to file>/gpt2-merges.txt
DATA_PATH="" #<Specify path and file prefix>_text_document

docker run \
  --gpus=all \
  --ipc=host \
  --workdir /workspace/megatron-lm \
  -v /path/to/data:/path/to/data \
  -v /path/to/megatron-lm:/workspace/megatron-lm \
  megatron-lm nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:24.01-py3 \
  bash examples/gpt3/train_gpt3_175b_distributed.sh $CHECKPOINT_PATH $TENSORBOARD_LOGS_PATH $VOCAB_FILE $MERGE_FILE $DATA_PATH "

NOTE: Depending on the environment you are running it the above command might like slightly different.

2. Configurations

The example in this folder shows you how to run 175B model. There are other configs you could run as well
