serving LWM-Text-Chat-128K with offloading on 2x RTX 4090s (prefill 127K contexts)

TriForce Framework

Environment Set Up

conda create -n TriForce python=3.9
conda activate TriForce

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation # install flash-attn

Evaluations

Currently, only long-context Llama models are supported (including Llama2-7B-128K, Llama2-13B-128K, LWM-Text-128K, LWM-Text-Chat-128K).

On-Chip

On-chip results can be reproduced on an A100 by running the following command. --prefill specifies the context length of the prompt, and --budget specifies the budget of the retrieval cache. chunk_size specifies the chunk size of the KV cache. top_p and temp are the sampling hyperparameters, which are set to 0.9 and 0.6 by default. gamma is the number of speculative decoding steps. You should observe a 2.2x speedup by running the following command on a single A100. gs contains 20 samples from PG-19, 128k contains 128K samples, and lwm contains samples from NarrativeQA.

# TriForce, on A100
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test/on_chip.py --prefill 124928 --budget 4096 \
 --chunk_size 8 --top_p 0.9 --temp 0.6 --gamma 6

Offloading

Offloading with Tensor Parallelism

Our framework supports tensor parallelism for offloading settings. The --nproc_per_node should be set to the number of GPUs used for offloading. The following command demonstrates how to use tensor parallelism with 2 GPUs. It should be noted that RTX 4090s do not support CUDA Graph for tensor parallelism (while A100 does). Therefore, we disabled CUDA Graph for this setting. --on_chip specifies the number of layers' KV cache that are on-chip, which can be adjusted based on hardware. The performance of offloading significantly depends on the bandwidth of PCIE. In order to get accurate results, it is best to ensure that the bandwidth is not used by other programs.

# TriForce, on 2x RTX 4090 GPUs
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 OMP_NUM_THREADS=48 torchrun --nproc_per_node=2 \
test/offloading_TP.py --budget 12288 --prefill 130048 --dataset gs \
--target llama-7B-128K --on_chip 9 --gamma 16

Offloading without Tensor Parallelism

We recommend using 2x RTX 4090s for offloading since the encoding time is much shorter and the generation latency is lower. But if you only have 1x RTX 4090, you can still run the following command. Since the budget is smaller, the average accepted token length is shorter.

# TriForce, CUDA Graph
# Huggingface backend, and cuda graph may take some extra HBM
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test/offloading.py --prefill 130048 \
--chunk_size 8 --temp 0.6 --top_p 0.9 --gamma 12 --dataset gs \
--budget 8192 --target llama-7B-128K

# TriForce, overlapping computation and loading
# overlapping may take some extra HBM
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 OMP_NUM_THREADS=48 torchrun --nproc_per_node=1 \
test/offloading_TP.py --budget 8192 --prefill 130048 --dataset gs \
--target llama-7B-128K --on_chip 0 --gamma 12

Baseline

For offloading, we provide an implementation of the auto-regressive baseline for comparison purposes. If the performance of TriForce does not meet expectations, which may be due to low PCIE bandwidth, we advise evaluating the baseline's performance on identical hardware. To demonstrate how to execute the baseline with different hardware configurations, here are the commands for running it on two RTX 4090 GPUs and separately on a single RTX 4090 GPU.

# baseline, 2x RTX 4090s
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 OMP_NUM_THREADS=48 torchrun --nproc_per_node=2 \
test/offloading_TP.py --budget 0 --prefill 130048 --dataset demo \
--target lwm-128K --on_chip 12 --baseline

# baseline, 1x RTX 4090
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 OMP_NUM_THREADS=48 torchrun --nproc_per_node=1 \
test/offloading_TP.py --budget 0 --prefill 130048 --dataset demo \
--target lwm-128K --on_chip 2 --baseline

FAQ

  1. Environment Issues

    Ensure you are using transformers==4.37.2 because the apply_rotary_pos_emb API has changed in more recent versions of transformers. Additionally, some environment issues (e.g., incompatibility with the latest flash-attn) can be resolved by setting torch==2.2.1+cu121 and flash_attn==2.5.7. For more details, please refer to issue #7.
