NVIDIA provides a simple tool to help evaluate trained checkpoints. You can evaluate the capabilities of the GPT model on the following ZeroShot downstream evaluation tasks:
lambadaboolqracepiqahellaswagwinograndewikitext2wikitext103
You must perform model evaluation using a training checkpoint
(.ckpt format), not a converted checkpoint (.nemo format).
You must define the configuration used for the evaluation by setting the evaluation configuration in conf/config.yaml to specify the evaluation configuration file to be used.
Set the configuration to gpt3/evaluate_all, which specifies the configuration file as conf/evaluation/gpt3/evaluate_all.yaml.
You can modify the configuration to adapt different evaluation tasks and checkpoints in evaluation runs.
For Base Command Platform, override all of these configuration from the command line.
You must include the evaluation value in stages to run the adapter learning pipeline.
Common
To configure the tasks to be run for evaluation, set the run.tasks configuration. Use the other run configurations to define the job-specific configuration:
run:
name: ${.eval_name}_${.model_train_name}
time_limit: "4:00:00"
nodes: ${divide_ceil:${evaluation.model.model_parallel_size}, 8} # 8 gpus per node
ntasks_per_node: ${divide_ceil:${evaluation.model.model_parallel_size}, ${.nodes}}
eval_name: eval_all
model_train_name: gpt3_5b
train_dir: ${base_results_dir}/${.model_train_name}
tasks: all_tasks # supported: lambada, boolq, race, piqa, hellaswag, winogrande, wikitext2, wikitext103 OR all_tasks
results_dir: ${base_results_dir}/${.model_train_name}/${.eval_name}
To specify the model checkpoint to load and its definition, use the
model configuration:
model:
model_type: nemo-gpt3
checkpoint_folder: ${evaluation.run.train_dir}/results/checkpoints
checkpoint_name: latest # latest OR name pattern of a checkpoint (e.g. megatron_gpt-*last.ckpt)
hparams_file: ${evaluation.run.train_dir}/results/hparams.yaml
tensor_model_parallel_size: 2 #1 for 126m, 2 for 5b, 8 for 20b
pipeline_model_parallel_size: 1
model_parallel_size: ${multiply:${.tensor_model_parallel_size}, ${.pipeline_model_parallel_size}}
precision: bf16 # must match training precision - 32, 16 or bf16
eval_batch_size: 4
vocab_file: ${data_dir}/bpe/vocab.json
merge_file: ${data_dir}/bpe/merges.txt
Slurm
Set the configuration for a Slurm cluster in conf/cluster/bcm.yaml:
partition: null
account: null
exclusive: True
gpus_per_task: null
gpus_per_node: 8
mem: 0
overcommit: False
job_name_prefix: "nemo-megatron-"
Example
To run only the evaluation pipeline and not the data preparation,
training, conversion. or inference pipelines, set the stages section of conf/config.yaml to:
stages:
- evaluation
Then enter:
python3 main.py
Base Command Platform
To run the evaluation script on Base Command Platform, set the cluster_type configuration in conf/config.yaml to bcp.
You can also override this configuration from the command line using hydra.
This script must be launched in a multi-node job.
To run the evaluation pipeline to evaluate a 126M GPT model checkpoint
stored in /mount/results/gpt3_126m/checkpoints, enter:
python3 /opt/NeMo-Megatron-Launcher/launcher_scripts/main.py stages=<evaluation> \
cluster_type=bcp launcher_scripts_path=/opt/NeMo-Megatron-Launcher/launcher_scripts data_dir=/mount/data/the_pile_gpt3 \
base_results_dir=/mount/results evaluation.model.vocab_file=/mount/data/bpe/vocab.json \
evaluation.model.merge_file=/mount/data/bpe/merges.txt evaluation.run.results_dir=/mount/results/gpt3_126m/evaluation \
evaluation.model.checkpoint_folder=/mount/results/gpt3_126m/results/checkpoints evaluation.model.eval_batch_size=16 \
evaluation.model.tensor_model_parallel_size=1 \
>> /results/eval_gpt3_log.txt 2>&1
Kubernetes
Set the configuration for a Slurm cluster in conf/cluster/k8s.yaml:
pull_secret: null # Kubernetes secret for the container registry to pull private containers.
shm_size: 512Gi # Amount of system memory to allocate in Pods. Should end in "Gi" for gigabytes.
nfs_server: null # Hostname or IP address for the NFS server where data is stored.
nfs_path: null # Path to store data in the NFS server.
ib_resource_name: "nvidia.com/hostdev" # Specify the resource name for IB devices according to kubernetes, such as "nvidia.com/hostdev" for Mellanox IB adapters.
ib_count: "8" # Specify the number of IB devices to include per node in each pod.
Example
Set the cluster and cluster_type settings to k8s in conf/config.yaml.
To run only the evaluation pipeline and not the data preparation,
training, conversion. or inference pipelines, set the stages section of conf/config.yaml to:
stages:
- evaluation
Then enter:
python3 main.py
This will launch a Helm chart based on the evaluation configurations which will
spawn a pod to evaluate the specified model. The pod can be viewed with
kubectl get pods and the logs can be read with kubectl logs <pod name>.
NVIDIA provides a simple tool to help evaluate the prompt-learned GPT checkpoints. You can evaluate the capabilities of a prompt-learned GPT model on a customized prompt learning test dataset.
NVIDIA provides an example which evaluates a checkpoint that went through prompt learning on SQuAD v1.1, on the SQuAD v1.1 test dataset created in prompt learning step.
You must define the configuration used for the evaluation by setting the evaluation configuration in conf/config.yaml
to specify the evaluation configuration file to be used.
Set the configuration to prompt_gpt3/squad.yaml, which specifies the configuration file as conf/evaluation/prompt_gpt3/squad.yaml.
The configurations can be modified to adapt to different evaluation tasks and checkpoints in evaluation runs.
For Base Command Platform, override all of these configurations from the command line.
You must include the evaluation value in stages to run the adapter learning pipeline.
Common
Set the run.tasks configuration to prompt.
Set the other run configurations to define the job-specific configuration:
run:
name: ${.eval_name}_${.model_train_name}
time_limit: "4:00:00"
nodes: ${divide_ceil:${evaluation.model.model_parallel_size}, 8} # 8 gpus per node
ntasks_per_node: ${divide_ceil:${evaluation.model.model_parallel_size}, ${.nodes}}
eval_name: eval_prompt_squad
model_train_name: gpt3_5b
tasks: "prompt" # general prompt task
prompt_learn_dir: ${base_results_dir}/${.model_train_name}/prompt_learning_squad # assume prompt learning was on squad task
results_dir: ${base_results_dir}/${.model_train_name}/${.eval_name}
To specify the model checkpoint to be loaded and which prompt learning test
dataset to evaluate, set the model configuration:
model:
model_type: nemo-gpt3-prompt
nemo_model: ${evaluation.run.prompt_learn_dir}/megatron_gpt_prompt.nemo
tensor_model_parallel_size: 2 #1 for 126m, 2 for 5b, 8 for 20b
pipeline_model_parallel_size: 1
model_parallel_size: ${multiply:${.tensor_model_parallel_size}, ${.pipeline_model_parallel_size}}
precision: bf16 # must match training precision - 32, 16 or bf16
eval_batch_size: 4
prompt_dataset_paths: ${data_dir}/prompt_data/v1.1/squad_test.jsonl
disable_special_tokens: False # Whether to disable virtual tokens in prompt model evaluation. This is equivalent to evaluate without prompt-/p-tuning.

To run the evaluation pipeline to evaluate a prompt-learned 5B GPT
model checkpoint stored in /mount/results/gpt3_5b/checkpoints, enter:
python3 /opt/NeMo-Megatron-Launcher/launcher_scripts/main.py stages=<evaluation> evaluation=prompt_gpt3/squad \

evaluation.model.nemo_model=4 evaluation.model.tensor_model_parallel_size=2 \
>> /results/eval_prompt_gpt3_log.txt 2>&1
The command above assumes that you mounted the data workspace in /mount/data, and the results workspace in /mount/results. stdout and stderr are redirected to the file /results/eval_prompt_gpt3_log.txt, which you can download from NGC. Any other required configuration may be added to modify the command’s behavior.
NVIDIA provides a simple tool to help evaluate the adapter and IA3 learned GPT checkpoints. You can evaluate the capabilities of the adapter-learned GPT model on a customized adapter learning test dataset.
