# Text Generation Inference on Habana Gaudi ## Table of contents - [Running TGI on Gaudi](#running-tgi-on-gaudi) - [Adjusting TGI parameters](#adjusting-tgi-parameters) - [Running TGI with FP8 precision](#running-tgi-with-fp8-precision) - [Currently supported configurations](#currently-supported-configurations) - [Environment variables](#environment-variables) - [Profiler](#profiler) ## Running TGI on Gaudi To use [🤗 text-generation-inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference) on Habana Gaudi/Gaudi2, follow these steps: 1. Pull the official Docker image with: ```bash docker pull ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 ``` > [!NOTE] > Alternatively, you can build the Docker image using the `Dockerfile` located in this folder with: > ```bash > docker build -t tgi_gaudi . > ``` 2. Launch a local server instance: i. On 1 Gaudi/Gaudi2 card ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data --runtime=habana -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --ipc=host ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 --model-id $model --max-input-tokens 1024 --max-total-tokens 2048 ``` > For gated models such as [LLama](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama) or [StarCoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoder), you will have to pass `-e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=` to the `docker run` command above with a valid Hugging Face Hub read token. ii. On 1 Gaudi/Gaudi2 card using pytorch eager mode with torch compile: ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data --runtime=habana -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e PT_HPU_LAZY_MODE=0 -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --ipc=host ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 --model-id $model --max-input-tokens 1024 --max-total-tokens 2048 ``` iii. On 8 Gaudi/Gaudi2 cards: ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-hf volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data --runtime=habana -e PT_HPU_ENABLE_LAZY_COLLECTIVES=true -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --ipc=host ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 --model-id $model --sharded true --num-shard 8 --max-input-tokens 1024 --max-total-tokens 2048 ``` 3. You can then send a simple request: ```bash curl 127.0.0.1:8080/generate \ -X POST \ -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":32}}' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' ``` 4. To run static benchmark test, please refer to [TGI's benchmark tool](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/tree/main/benchmark). To run it on the same machine, you can do the following: * `docker exec -it bash` , pick the docker started from step 2 using docker ps * `text-generation-benchmark -t ` , pass the model-id from docker run command * after the completion of tests, hit ctrl+c to see the performance data summary. 5. To run continuous batching test, please refer to [examples](https://github.com/huggingface/tgi-gaudi/tree/habana-main/examples). ## Adjusting TGI parameters Maximum sequence length is controlled by two arguments: - `--max-input-tokens` is the maximum possible input prompt length. Default value is `4095`. - `--max-total-tokens` is the maximum possible total length of the sequence (input and output). Default value is `4096`. Maximum batch size is controlled by two arguments: - For prefill operation, please set `--max-batch-prefill-tokens` as `bs * max-input-tokens`, where `bs` is your expected maximum prefill batch size. - For decode operation, please set `--max-batch-total-tokens` as `bs * max-total-tokens`, where `bs` is your expected maximum decode batch size. - Please note that batch size will be always padded to the nearest multiplication of `BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE` and `PREFILL_BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE`. To ensure greatest performance results, at the beginning of each server run, warmup is performed. It's designed to cover major recompilations while using HPU Graphs. It creates queries with all possible input shapes, based on provided parameters (described in this section) and runs basic TGI operations on them (prefill, decode, concatenate). Except those already mentioned, there are other parameters that need to be properly adjusted to improve performance or memory usage: - `PAD_SEQUENCE_TO_MULTIPLE_OF` determines sizes of input length buckets. Since warmup creates several graphs for each bucket, it's important to adjust that value proportionally to input sequence length. Otherwise, some out of memory issues can be observed. - `ENABLE_HPU_GRAPH` enables HPU graphs usage, which is crucial for performance results. Recommended value to keep is `true` . For more information and documentation about Text Generation Inference, checkout [the README](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference#text-generation-inference) of the original repo. ## Running TGI with FP8 precision TGI supports FP8 precision runs within the limits provided by [Habana Quantization Toolkit](https://docs.habana.ai/en/latest/PyTorch/Inference_on_PyTorch/Inference_Using_FP8.html). Models with FP8 can be ran by properly setting QUANT_CONFIG environment variable. Detailed instruction on how to use that variable can be found in [Optimum Habana FP8 guide](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana/tree/main/examples/text-generation#running-with-fp8). Summarising that instruction in TGI cases: 1. Measure quantization statistics of requested model by using [Optimum Habana measurement script](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana/tree/main/examples/text-generation#running-with-fp8:~:text=use_deepspeed%20%2D%2Dworld_size%208-,run_lm_eval.py,-%5C%0A%2Do%20acc_70b_bs1_measure.txt) 2. Run requested model in TGI with proper QUANT_CONFIG setting - e.g. `-e QUANT_CONFIG=./quantization_config/maxabs_quant.json`. > [!NOTE] > Only models pointed in [supported configurations](#currently-supported-configurations) are guaranteed to work with FP8 Additional hints to quantize model for TGI when using `run_lm_eval.py`: * use `--limit_hpu_graphs` flag to save memory * try to model your use case situation by adjusting `--batch_size` , `--max_new_tokens 512` and `--max_input_tokens 512`; in case of memory issues, lower those values * use dataset/tasks suitable for your use case (see `--help` for defining tasks/datasets) ## Currently supported configurations Not all features of TGI are currently supported as this is still a work in progress. Currently supported and validated configurations (other configurations are not guaranteed to work or ensure reasonable performance): ### LLama 7b BF16 on 1 Gaudi2 card ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf hf_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN # Llama2 is a gated model and requires a special access token volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 \ --runtime=habana \ -v $volume:/data \ -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \ -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none \ -e HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 \ -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=$hf_token \ -e PREFILL_BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=1 \ -e BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=16 \ -e PAD_SEQUENCE_TO_MULTIPLE_OF=128 \ --cap-add=sys_nice \ --ipc=host \ ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 \ --model-id $model \ --max-input-tokens 1024 \ --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096 \ --max-total-tokens 2048 \ --max-batch-size 16 ``` ### LLama 7b FP8 on 1 Gaudi2 card ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf hf_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN # Llama2 is a gated model and requires a special access token volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 \ --runtime=habana \ -v $volume:/data \ -v $PWD/quantization_config:/usr/src/quantization_config \ -v $PWD/hqt_output:/usr/src/hqt_output \ -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \ -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none \ -e HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 \ -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=$hf_token \ -e PREFILL_BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=1 \ -e BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=64 \ -e PAD_SEQUENCE_TO_MULTIPLE_OF=128 \ -e QUANT_CONFIG=./quantization_config/maxabs_quant.json \ --cap-add=sys_nice \ --ipc=host \ ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 \ --model-id $model \ --max-input-tokens 1024 \ --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096 \ --max-total-tokens 2048 \ --max-batch-size 64 ``` ### LLama 70b BF16 on 8 Gaudi2 card ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf hf_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN # Llama2 is a gated model and requires a special access token volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 \ --runtime=habana \ -v $volume:/data \ -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \ -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none \ -e HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 \ -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=$hf_token \ -e PT_HPU_ENABLE_LAZY_COLLECTIVES=true \ -e PREFILL_BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=1 \ -e BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=256 \ -e PAD_SEQUENCE_TO_MULTIPLE_OF=128 \ --cap-add=sys_nice \ --ipc=host \ ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 \ --model-id $model \ --max-input-tokens 1024 \ --max-batch-prefill-tokens 16384 \ --max-total-tokens 2048 \ --max-batch-size 256 \ --max-concurrent-requests 400 \ --sharded true \ --num-shard 8 ``` ### LLama 70b FP8 on 8 Gaudi2 card ```bash model=meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf hf_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN # Llama2 is a gated model and requires a special access token volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run docker run -p 8080:80 \ --runtime=habana \ -v $volume:/data \ -v $PWD/quantization_config:/usr/src/quantization_config \ -v $PWD/hqt_output:/usr/src/hqt_output \ -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \ -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none \ -e HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 \ -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=$hf_token \ -e PT_HPU_ENABLE_LAZY_COLLECTIVES=true \ -e PREFILL_BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=1 \ -e BATCH_BUCKET_SIZE=512 \ -e PAD_SEQUENCE_TO_MULTIPLE_OF=128 \ -e QUANT_CONFIG=./quantization_config/maxabs_quant.json \ --cap-add=sys_nice \ --ipc=host \ ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:2.0.1 \ --model-id $model \ --max-input-tokens 1024 \ --max-batch-prefill-tokens 16384 \ --max-total-tokens 2048 \ --max-batch-size 512 \ --max-concurrent-requests 700 \ --sharded true \ --num-shard 8 ``` Please note that the model warmup can take several minutes, especially for FP8 configs. To minimize this time in consecutive runs, please refer to [Disk Caching Eviction Policy](https://docs.habana.ai/en/latest/PyTorch/Model_Optimization_PyTorch/Optimization_in_PyTorch_Models.html#disk-caching-eviction-policy). Other sequence lengths can be used with proportionally decreased/increased batch size (the higher sequence length, the lower batch size). Support for other models from Optimum Habana will be added successively. ## Environment variables
