Updated on 2024-03-29 GMT+08:00
Example: Creating a Custom Image for Training (Horovod-PyTorch and GPUs)
This section describes how to create an image and use it for training on ModelArts. The AI engine used in the image is horovod_0.22.1-pytorch_1.8.1, and the resources used for training are GPUs.
This section applies only to training jobs of the new version.
Scenario
In this example, write a Dockerfile to create a custom image on a Linux x86_64 server running Ubuntu 18.04.
Create a container image with the following configurations and use the image to create a CPU- or GPU-powered training job on ModelArts:
- ubuntu-18.04
- cuda-11.1
- python-3.7.13
- mlnx ofed-5.4
- pytorch-1.8.1
- horovod-0.22.1
Procedure
Before using a custom image to create a training job, you need to be familiar with Docker and have development experience.
Step 1 Creating an OBS Bucket and Folder
Create a bucket and folders in OBS for storing the sample dataset and training code. Table 1 lists the folders to be created. Replace the bucket name and folder names in the example with actual names.
For details about how to create an OBS bucket and folder, see Creating a Bucket and Creating a Folder.
Ensure that the OBS directory you use and ModelArts are in the same region.
Step 2 Preparing the Training Script and Uploading It to OBS
Obtain training scripts pytorch_synthetic_benchmark.py and run_mpi.sh and upload them to obs://test-modelarts/horovod/demo-code/ in the OBS bucket.
pytorch_synthetic_benchmark.py is as follows:
import argparse
import torch.backends.cudnn as cudnn
import torch.nn.functional as F
import torch.optim as optim
import torch.utils.data.distributed
from torchvision import models

Step 3 Preparing a Server
Obtain a Linux x86_64 server running Ubuntu 18.04. Either an ECS or your local PC will do.
For details about how to purchase an ECS, see Purchasing and Logging In to a Linux ECS. Select a public image. An Ubuntu 18.04 image is recommended.
Figure 1 Creating an ECS using a public image (x86)
Step 4 Creating a Custom Image
Create a container image with the following configurations and use the image to create a training job on ModelArts:
- ubuntu-18.04
- cuda-11.1
- python-3.7.13
- mlnx ofed-5.4
- pytorch-1.8.1
- horovod-0.22.1
This section describes how to write a Dockerfile to create a custom image.
- Install Docker.
The following uses Linux x86_64 as an example to describe how to obtain a Docker installation package. For more details about how to install Docker, see official Docker documents. Run the following command to install Docker:
curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sh get-docker.sh
If the docker images command can be executed, Docker has been installed. In this case, skip this step.
- Check the Docker Engine version. Run the following command:
docker version | grep -A 1 Engine
The following information is displayed:Engine: Version: 18.09.0
Use the Docker engine of the preceding version or later to create a custom image.
- Create a folder named context.
mkdir -p context
- Obtain the pip.conf file. In this example, the pip source provided by Huawei Mirrors is used, which is as follows:
[global] index-url = https://repo.huaweicloud.com/repository/pypi/simple trusted-host = repo.huaweicloud.com timeout = 120
To obtain pip.conf, switch to Huawei Mirrors https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/home and search for pypi.
- Download the source Horovod code file.
Download horovod-0.22.1.tar.gz from https://pypi.org/project/horovod/0.22.1/#files.
- Download .whl files.
Download the following .whl files from https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html.
- torch-1.8.1+cu111-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
- torchaudio-0.8.1-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
- torchvision-0.9.1+cu111-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
The URL code of the plus sign (+) is %2B. When searching for files in the preceding websites, replace the plus sign (+) in the file name with %2B, for example, torch-1.8.1%2Bcu111-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl.
- Download the Miniconda3 installation file.
Download the Miniconda3 py37 4.12.0 installation file (Python 3.7.13) from https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py37_4.12.0-Linux-x86_64.sh.
- Write the container image Dockerfile.
Create an empty file named Dockerfile in the context folder and copy the following content to the file:
# The server on which the container image is created must access the Internet. # Base container image at https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/CUDA # # https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/#use-multi-stage-builds # require Docker Engine >= 17.05 # # builder stage FROM nvidia/cuda:11.1.1-devel-ubuntu18.04 AS builder # Install CMake obtained from Huawei Mirrors.

Step 6 Creating a Training Job on ModelArts
- Log in to the ModelArts management console, check whether access authorization has been configured for your account. For details, see Configuring Agency Authorization. If you have been authorized using access keys, clear the authorization and configure agency authorization.
- In the navigation pane, choose Training Management > Training Jobs. The training job list is displayed by default.
- Click Create Training Job. On the page that is displayed, configure parameters and click Next.
- Created By: Custom algorithms
- Boot Mode: Custom images
- Image path: image created in Step 5 Uploading the Image to SWR.
- Code Directory: directory where the boot script file is stored in OBS, for example, obs://test-modelarts/pytorch/demo-code/. The training code is automatically downloaded to the ${MA_JOB_DIR}/demo-code directory of the training container. demo-code (customizable) is the last-level directory of the OBS path.
- Boot Command: bash ${MA_JOB_DIR}/demo-code/run_mpi.sh python ${MA_JOB_DIR}/demo-code/pytorch_synthetic_benchmark.py. demo-code (customizable) is the last-level directory of the OBS path.
- Environment Variable: Click Add Environment Variable and add the environment variable MY_SSHD_PORT=38888.
- Resource Pool: Select Public resource pools.
- Resource Type: Select GPU.
- Compute Nodes: 1 or 2
- Persistent Log Saving: enabled
- Job Log Path: OBS path to stored training logs, for example, obs://test-modelarts/pytorch/log/
- Confirm the configurations of the training job and click Submit.
- Wait until the training job is created.
After you submit the job creation request, the system will automatically perform operations on the backend, such as downloading the container image and code directory and running the boot command. A training job requires a certain period of time for running. The duration ranges from dozens of minutes to several hours, varying depending on the service logic and selected resources. After the training job is executed, the log similar to the following is output.
