This PR supports
torch.autocast
with ZeRO. You need to enabletorch.autocast
in DeepSpeed config.You don't need to explicitly call
torch.autocast
in your code. The grad scaler is also applied in the DeepSpeed optimizer.All the parameters are maintained in FP32 but certain operators and layers are computed in the specified dtype. With ZeRO enabled, the communication (allreduce/reduce_scatter) for specified layers are also done in the specified dtype (List of modules).
You cannot enable
fp16
orbf16
withtorch.autocast
.(Currently working on ZeRO3)
