# FSDP Integration Complete Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) has been fully integrated into the training pipeline. ## ✅ What's Been Integrated ### 1. Service Functions - **`fine_tune_da3()`** - FSDP support added - **`pretrain_da3_on_arkit()`** - FSDP support added ### 2. API Endpoints - **`/api/v1/train/start`** - FSDP parameters added to `TrainRequest` - **`/api/v1/train/pretrain`** - FSDP parameters added to `PretrainRequest` ### 3. CLI Commands - **`ylff train start`** - FSDP options added - **`ylff train pretrain`** - FSDP options added ## 📋 New Parameters ### API Models **TrainRequest & PretrainRequest**: ```python use_fsdp: bool = False # Enable FSDP fsdp_sharding_strategy: str = "FULL_SHARD" # FULL_SHARD, SHARD_GRAD_OP, NO_SHARD fsdp_mixed_precision: Optional[str] = None # bf16, fp16, or None (auto-detects) ``` ### CLI Options ```bash --use-fsdp # Enable FSDP --fsdp-sharding-strategy # FULL_SHARD, SHARD_GRAD_OP, NO_SHARD --fsdp-mixed-precision # bf16, fp16, or None ``` ## 🚀 Usage ### CLI Example ```bash # Multi-GPU training with FSDP torchrun --nproc_per_node=4 ylff train start data/training \ --use-fsdp \ --fsdp-sharding-strategy FULL_SHARD \ --fsdp-mixed-precision bf16 \ --use-bf16 \ --batch-size 2 ``` ### API Example ```json { "training_data_dir": "data/training", "epochs": 10, "use_fsdp": true, "fsdp_sharding_strategy": "FULL_SHARD", "fsdp_mixed_precision": "bf16", "use_bf16": true } ``` ## 🔧 How It Works 1. **Model Wrapping**: Before optimizer creation, the model is wrapped with FSDP if: - `use_fsdp=True` - Distributed training is initialized (`torch.distributed.is_initialized()`) 2. **Sharding Strategy**: - **FULL_SHARD**: Shards parameters, gradients, and optimizer states (most memory efficient) - **SHARD_GRAD_OP**: Shards only gradients and optimizer states - **NO_SHARD**: No sharding (equivalent to DDP) 3. **Mixed Precision**: Auto-detects from `use_bf16` if not specified: - If `use_bf16=True` → uses `bf16` - If `use_bf16=False` → uses `None` (FP32) ## 📊 Benefits - **Memory Efficiency**: Train models 2-4x larger than single GPU memory - **Scalability**: Better memory efficiency than DDP - **Performance**: Similar speed to DDP with better memory utilization - **Flexibility**: Works with existing optimizations (BF16, gradient clipping, etc.) ## ⚠️ Requirements 1. **PyTorch 2.0+** with FSDP support 2. **Distributed Training**: Must initialize distributed training first: ```bash torchrun --nproc_per_node=N ... ``` Or manually initialize: ```python import torch.distributed as dist dist.init_process_group(...) ``` ## 🔄 Integration Points ### Service Functions **Before optimizer creation**: ```python if use_fsdp: if dist.is_initialized(): model = wrap_model_fsdp( model, sharding_strategy=fsdp_sharding_strategy, mixed_precision=fsdp_mixed_precision or ("bf16" if use_bf16 else None), device_id=torch.cuda.current_device() if device == "cuda" else None, ) ``` ### Checkpoint Saving/Loading FSDP checkpoints are handled automatically via `fsdp_utils.py`: - Uses `FullStateDictConfig` for saving - Gathers full state dict on rank 0 - Shards optimizer state properly ## 📝 Files Modified 1. **`ylff/services/fine_tune.py`** - Added FSDP wrapping 2. **`ylff/services/pretrain.py`** - Added FSDP wrapping 3. **`ylff/models/api_models.py`** - Added FSDP fields to request models 4. **`ylff/routers/training.py`** - Pass FSDP params to service functions 5. **`ylff/cli.py`** - Added FSDP CLI options ## 🎯 Next Steps FSDP is fully integrated and ready to use! For best results: 1. Use with `torchrun` for multi-GPU training 2. Combine with BF16 for maximum memory efficiency 3. Use `FULL_SHARD` for largest models 4. Monitor GPU memory usage to verify sharding
