Practical solutions to solve the problem of insufficient memory
Memory management is the key challenge in the face of a large model with 685 billion participant count. The following are specific solutions:
1. Hardware optimization
- Use multi-GPU parallel computing to spread memory pressure
- Upgrade to a GPU with more video memory (e.g. A100 80GB, etc.)
2. Model optimization techniques
- Adoption of model parallelism frameworks such as DeepSpeed
- Utilizing Model Sharding Technology
- Enable Gradient Checkpointing
3. Accuracy adjustments
- Reduction in calculation accuracy: change from BF16 to F8_E4M3
- Selective use of mixed precision training
4. Batch optimization
- Reducing batch size
- Use of dynamic batch technology
Other practical tips
- Prioritize shorter input sequences
- Clean up unnecessary memory usage
- Regularly check CUDA memory usage
If the above methods are still ineffective, it is recommended to consider using cloud computing resources or applying for Hugging Face's inference service support.
