Requesting a Python/CUDA example

adelevie commented 2 years ago

Hi,

The existing examples are very good. But given that the GPU/AI/ML features were highlighted in the introductory blog post ("Use accelerator-optimized resources."), it would be nice to see a full example here.

If it helps, I've tried this on my own, but got some errors:

{
    "taskGroups": [
        {
        "taskSpec": {
            "computeResource": {
                "cpuMilli": "20000",
                "memoryMib": "15000"
            },
            "runnables": [
          {
            "container": {
              "imageUri": "pytorch/pytorch:1.12.1-cuda11.3-cudnn8-runtime",
                "entrypoint": "/bin/sh",
                "commands": ["-c", "python -c \"import torch;print(torch.cuda.is_available())\""]
            }
          }
            ],
            "maxRetryCount": 2,
            "maxRunDuration": "3600s"
        },
        "taskCount": 1,
        "parallelism": 1
        }
    ],
    "allocationPolicy": {
            "instances": [
                {
                    "instanceTemplate": "alan-test-instance-template-3"
                }
            ]
        },
    "logsPolicy": {
        "destination": "CLOUD_LOGGING"
    }
}

The log output is:

EDIT: Digging through the Job spec to the ComputeResource spec, I see the following:

gpuCount | string (int64 format)The GPU count.Not yet implemented.
-- | --

gpuCount    
string ([int64](https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/type-format) format)

The GPU count.

Not yet implemented.

Does this imply GPU jobs are not yet supported?

According to the doc, yes it is. Unfortunately I can't make the container job example work. The base container image is downloaded, the nvidia drivers are installed but the command is not executed and the job exits with error.

GPU count can be set with this syntax.

There is now a dogs vs. cats CNN training example here, which uses PyTorch and acceleration via CUDA.

GPU jobs (containerized or not) are supported in general, and Batch will automatically install drivers (when the installGpuDrivers flag is set in the job spec) and will automatically set the necessary docker options to give containers access to the GPU(s) for container runnables.

I've tested the new sample (this one) recently so it should be a reliable template for other PyTorch/CUDA jobs. Please let me know if you run into any issues.

It seems a bit under documented, I can't seem to get it to work without this config, I have tried every combination of this config, and everything other fails:
