+title: Training with AMD GPUs on HPC Systems
+description: A comprehensive guide for using Axolotl on distributed systems with AMD GPUs
+---
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring Axolotl on a High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment equipped with AMD GPUs.
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Install Python
+
+We recommend using Miniforge, a minimal conda-based Python distribution:
+
+```bash
+curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
+bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Python Environment
+Add Python to your PATH and ensure it's available at login:
+
+```bash
+echo 'export PATH=~/miniforge3/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
+echo 'if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi' >> ~/.bash_profile
+```
+
+### 3. Load AMD GPU Software
+
+Load the ROCm module:
+
+```bash
+module load rocm/5.7.1
+```
+
+Note: The specific module name and version may vary depending on your HPC system. Consult your system documentation for the correct module name.
+
+### 4. Install PyTorch
+
+Install PyTorch with ROCm support:
+
+```bash
+pip install -U torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.7 --force-reinstall
+```
+
+### 5. Install Flash Attention
+
+Clone and install the Flash Attention repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/flash-attention.git
+export GPU_ARCHS="gfx90a"
+cd flash-attention
+export PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES=$(python -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')
+patch "${PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES}/torch/utils/hipify/hipify_python.py" hipify_patch.patch
+pip install .
+```
+
+### 6. Install Axolotl
+
+Clone and install Axolotl:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl
+cd axolotl
+pip install packaging ninja
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+### 7. Apply xformers Workaround
+
+xformers appears to be incompatible with ROCm. Apply the following workarounds:
+ - Edit $HOME/packages/axolotl/src/axolotl/monkeypatch/llama_attn_hijack_flash.py modifying the code to always return `False` for SwiGLU availability from xformers.
+ - Edit $HOME/miniforge3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/xformers/ops/swiglu_op.py replacing the "SwiGLU" function with a pass statement.
+
+### 8. Prepare Job Submission Script
+
+Create a script for job submission using your HPC's particular software (e.g. Slurm, PBS). Include necessary environment setup and the command to run Axolotl training. If the compute node(s) do(es) not have internet access, it is recommended to include
+
+```bash
+export TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE=1
+export HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1
+```
+
+### 9. Download Base Model
+
+Download a base model using the Hugging Face CLI:
+
+```bash
+huggingface-cli download meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B --local-dir ~/hfdata/llama3.1-8B
+```
+
+### 10. Create Axolotl Configuration
+
+Create an Axolotl configuration file (YAML format) tailored to your specific training requirements and dataset. Use FSDP for multi-node training.
+
+Note: Deepspeed did not work at the time of testing. However, if anyone managed to get it working, please let us know.
+
+### 11. Preprocess Data
+
+Run preprocessing on the login node:
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess /path/to/your/config.yaml
+```
+
+### 12. Train
+
+You are now ready to submit your previously prepared job script. 🚂

+title: Batch size vs Gradient accumulation
+description: Understanding of batch size and gradient accumulation steps
+---
+
+Gradient accumulation means accumulating gradients over several mini-batches and updating the model weights afterward. When the samples in each batch are diverse, this technique doesn't significantly impact learning.
+
+This method allows for effective training with larger effective batch sizes without needing proportionally larger memory. Here's why:
+
+1. **Memory Consumption with Batch Size**: The primary reason increasing the batch size impacts memory is due to the storage requirements for intermediate activations. When you forward propagate a batch through a network, you have to store the activations at each layer for each sample in the batch, because these activations are used during backpropagation to compute gradients. Therefore, larger batches mean more activations, leading to greater GPU memory consumption.
+
+2. **Gradient Accumulation**: With gradient accumulation, you're effectively simulating a larger batch size by accumulating gradients over several smaller batches (or micro-batches). However, at any given time, you're only forward and backward propagating a micro-batch. This means you only store activations for the micro-batch, not the full accumulated batch. As a result, you can simulate the effect of a larger batch size without the memory cost of storing activations for a large batch.
+
+**Example 1:**
+Micro batch size: 3
+Gradient accumulation steps: 2
+Number of GPUs: 3
+Total batch size = 3 * 2 * 3 = 18
+

+
+### Migrating from sharegpt
+
+Most configs can be adapted as follows:
+
+```yaml
+# old
+chat_template: chatml
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: sharegpt
+    conversation: chatml
+
+# new (if using tokenizer's chat_template)
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+
+    field_messages: conversations
+    message_field_role: from
+    message_field_content: value
+
+# new (if setting a new chat_template like chatml, gemma, etc)
+chat_template: chatml
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+
+    field_messages: conversations
+    message_field_role: from
+    message_field_content: value
+```
+
+We recommend checking the below examples for other usecases.
+
+### Examples
+
+1. Using the default chat template in the tokenizer_config.json on OpenAI messages format, training on only last message.
+
+```yaml
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+```
+
+2. Using the `gemma` chat template to override the tokenizer_config.json's chat template on OpenAI messages format, training on all assistant messages.
+
+```yaml
+chat_template: gemma # this overwrites the tokenizer's chat_template
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+    roles_to_train: ["assistant"]
+```
+
+3. Using the tokenizer_config.json's chat template or `chatml` as fallback if the former's chat template does not exist, on OpenAI messages format, training on all assistant messages.
+
+```yaml
+chat_template: tokenizer_default_fallback_chatml # this overwrites the tokenizer's chat_template
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+    roles_to_train: ["assistant"]
+```
+
+4. Using a custom jinja template on OpenAI messages format, training on all assistant messages.
+
+```yaml
+# chat_template: jinja # `jinja` will be implied if the `chat_template_jinja` is set and this field is empty
+chat_template_jinja: "{{ bos_token }}{% for message in messages %}{% if (message['role'] == 'system') %}{{'<|system|>' + '\n' + message['content'] + '<|end|>' + '\n'}}{% elif (message['role'] == 'user') %}{{'<|user|>' + '\n' + message['content'] + '<|end|>' + '\n' + '<|assistant|>' + '\n'}}{% elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}{{message['content'] + '<|end|>' + '\n'}}{% endif %}{% endfor %}"
+
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+    roles_to_train: ["assistant"]
+```
+
+5. (Advanced) Using fine-grained control over tokens and turns to train in a conversation
+
+For a data sample that looks like:
+
+```{.json filename="data.jsonl"}
+{
+  "conversations": [
+    {"from": "system", "value": "You are an AI assistant.", "train": false},
+    {"from": "human", "value": "Hello", "train": false},
+    {"from": "assistant", "value": "Hello", "train": true},
+    {"from": "human", "value": "How are you?", "train": true},
+    {
+      "from": "assistant",
+      "value": "I'm doing very well, thank you!",
+      "train_detail": [
+        {"begin_offset": 0, "end_offset": 8, "train": false},
+        {"begin_offset": 9, "end_offset": 18, "train": true},
+        {"begin_offset": 19, "end_offset": 30, "train": false},
+      ],
+    },
+    {
+        "from": "human",
+        "value": "I'm doing very well, thank you!",
+        "train": true,
+    },
+    {"from": "assistant", "value": "Hi there!", "train": true}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The configuration would look like:
+
+```yaml
+datasets:
+  - path: ...
+    type: chat_template
+    chat_template: tokenizer_default
+    field_messages: conversations
+    message_field_role: from
+    message_field_content: value
+    roles_to_train: []
+    train_on_eos: turn
+    message_field_training: train
+    message_field_training_detail: train_detail
+```
+
+Tip: It is not necessary to use both `message_field_training` and `message_field_training_detail` at a time.

+---
+title: Dataset Preprocessing
+description: How datasets are processed
+---
+
+Dataset pre-processing is the step where Axolotl takes each dataset you've configured alongside
+the (dataset format)[../dataset-formats/] and prompt strategies to:
+ - parse the dataset based on the *dataset format*
+ - transform the dataset to how you would interact with the model based on the *prompt strategy*
+ - tokenize the dataset based on the configured model & tokenizer
+ - shuffle and merge multiple datasets together if using more than one
+
+The processing of the datasets can happen one of two ways:
+
+1. Before kicking off training by calling `python -m axolotl.cli.preprocess /path/to/your.yaml --debug`
+2. When training is started
+
+What are the benefits of pre-processing? When training interactively or for sweeps
+(e.g. you are restarting the trainer often), processing the datasets can oftentimes be frustratingly
+slow. Pre-processing will cache the tokenized/formatted datasets according to a hash of dependent
+training parameters so that it will intelligently pull from its cache when possible.
+
+The path of the cache is controlled by `dataset_prepared_path:` and is often left blank in example
+YAMLs as this leads to a more robust solution that prevents unexpectedly reusing cached data.
+
+If `dataset_prepared_path:` is left empty, when training, the processed dataset will be cached in a
+default path of `./last_run_prepared/`, but will ignore anything already cached there. By explicitly
+setting `dataset_prepared_path: ./last_run_prepared`, the trainer will use whatever pre-processed
+data is in the cache.
+
+What are the edge cases? Let's say you are writing a custom prompt strategy or using a user-defined
+prompt template. Because the trainer cannot readily detect these changes, we cannot change the
+calculated hash value for the pre-processed dataset. If you have `dataset_prepared_path: ...` set
+and change your prompt templating logic, it may not pick up the changes you made and you will be
+training over the old prompt.

+
+Below, we describe how to use this feature in Axolotl.
+
+## Usage
+
+To enable `QLoRA` with `FSDP`, you need to perform the following steps:
+
+> ![Tip]
+> See the [example config](#example-config) file in addition to reading these instructions.
+
+1. Set `adapter: qlora` in your axolotl config file.
+2. Enable FSDP in your axolotl config, as [described here](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl?tab=readme-ov-file#fsdp).
+3. Use one of the supported model types: `llama`, `mistral` or `mixtral`.
+
+## Example Config
+
+[examples/llama-2/qlora-fsdp.yml](../examples/llama-2/qlora-fsdp.yml) contains an example of how to enable QLoRA + FSDP in axolotl.

+### Overview
+
+Unsloth provides hand-written optimized kernels for LLM finetuning that slightly improve speed and VRAM over
+standard industry baselines.
+
+
+### Installation
+
+The following will install unsloth from source and downgrade xformers as unsloth is incompatible with the most up
+to date libraries.
+
+```bash
+pip install --no-deps "unsloth @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
+pip install --no-deps --force-reinstall xformers==0.0.26.post1
+```
+
+### Using unsloth w Axolotl
+
+Axolotl exposes a few configuration options to try out unsloth and get most of the performance gains.
+
+Our unsloth integration is currently limited to the following model architectures:
+ - llama
+
+These options are specific to LoRA finetuning and cannot be used for multi-GPU finetuning
+```yaml
+unsloth_lora_mlp: true
+unsloth_lora_qkv: true
+unsloth_lora_o: true
+```
+
+These options are composable and can be used with multi-gpu finetuning
+```yaml
+unsloth_cross_entropy_loss: true
+unsloth_rms_norm: true
+unsloth_rope: true
+```
+
+### Limitations
+
+- Single GPU only; e.g. no multi-gpu support
+- No deepspeed or FSDP support (requires multi-gpu)
+- LoRA + QLoRA support only. No full fine tunes or fp8 support.
+- Limited model architecture support. Llama, Phi, Gemma, Mistral only
+- No MoE support.

+# DBRX MoE
+
+Currently, for LoRA, only the `q_proj`, `k_proj`, `v_proj` `out_proj` and `layer` Linear layers are trainable.
+
+We are using the "converted" base models based on [this issue](https://huggingface.co/databricks/dbrx-instruct/discussions/10)
+where the Experts are fused as an `nn.Parameter` rather than a `nn.Linear` layer. However, the implementation
+is still a bit buggy and attempting to train a LoRA adapter over those `w1`, `w2` and `v1` layers
+results in the trainer hanging.
+
+
+### FSDP
+We've tested using the [`LnL-AI/dbrx-base-converted-v2`](https://huggingface.co/LnL-AI/dbrx-base-converted-v2) model as the base model for FSDP.
+
+The high memory usage seen w/ FSDP is due to FSDP not supporting 8bit optimizers.
+
+- 16-bit LoRA w/ FSDP
+  - ✅ w/o CPU Offload - 8x80GB uses ~80GiB/gpu
+  - ❌ w/ CPU Offload - `paged_adamw_8bit` optimizer errors from being on cpu
+- ✅ 8-bit LoRA w/ FSDP
+- ❌ 4-bit QLoRA w/ FSDP - errors w/: `Error an illegal memory access was encountered at line 90 in file /src/csrc/ops.cu`
+- ✅ bf16 full finetune w/ FSDP, freezing all but first 8 layers (8x80GB uses ~78GiB/gpu)
