CloudAI Benchmark Framework 1.7.1

DDLB

DDLB workload (test_template_name is DDLB) allows users to execute DDLB (Distributed Deep Learning Benchmarks) within the CloudAI framework. Please find the DDLB README at https://github.com/samnordmann/ddlb.

Test TOML example:

Copy
Copied!
            

name = "my_ddlb_test" description = "Example DDLB test" test_template_name = "DDLB" [cmd_args] docker_image_url = "<docker container url here>" primitive = "tp_columnwise" dtype = "float16"

Test Scenario example:

Copy
Copied!
            

name = "ddlb-test" [[Tests]] id = "ddlb.1" num_nodes = 1 time_limit = "00:10:00" test_name = "my_ddlb_test"

Test-in-Scenario example:

Copy
Copied!
            

name = "ddlb-test" [[Tests]] id = "ddlb.1" num_nodes = 1 time_limit = "00:10:00" name = "my_ddlb_test" description = "Example DDLB test" test_template_name = "DDLB" [Tests.cmd_args] docker_image_url = "<docker container url here>" primitive = "tp_columnwise" m = 1024 n = 128 k = 1024 dtype = "float16" num_iterations = 50 num_warmups = 5 impl = "pytorch;backend=nccl;order=AG_before"

Test Definition

class cloudai.workloads.ddlb.ddlb.DDLBTestDefinition(*, name: str, description: str, test_template_name: str, cmd_args: ~cloudai.workloads.ddlb.ddlb.DDLBCmdArgs, dse_excluded_args: list[str] = <factory>, extra_env_vars: dict[str, str | ~typing.List[str]] = {}, extra_cmd_args: dict[str, str] = {}, extra_container_mounts: list[str] = [], git_repos: list[~cloudai._core.installables.git_repo.GitRepo] = [], nsys: ~cloudai.models.workload.NsysConfiguration | None = None, predictor: ~cloudai.models.workload.PredictorConfig | None = None, training_report: ~cloudai.models.workload.TrainingReportConfig | None = None, agent: str = 'grid_search', agent_steps: int = 1, agent_metrics: list[str] = ['default'], agent_reward_function: str = 'inverse', agent_config: dict[str, ~typing.Any] | None = None, env_params: dict[str, ~cloudai.configurator.env_params.EnvParamSpec] = <factory>)[source]

Bases: TestDefinition

Test object for DDLB.

property is_domain_randomization_enabled: bool

at least one env_params annotation.

Type:

Whether the config declares domain randomization

is_dse_excluded_arg(path: str) → bool

Return whether a dot-separated cmd_args path should be ignored by DSE.

is_env_sampled(cmd_args_path: str) → bool

Whether a cmd_args field is env-sampled (env draws it per trial, not the agent).

validator validate_env_params  »  all fields

Validate env_params annotations against cmd_args.

env_params is an annotation: each key names a cmd_args field whose value is the candidate set (the single source of truth), and the entry carries only how to sample. So each key must name a real cmd_args field whose value is a candidate list; a scalar is already fixed, so annotating it is a meaningless label and is rejected here. When weights are declared, the list needs >= 2 values and the weights must align 1:1 with it. Sampling, persistence, the per-trial cmd_args overlay, and the cache key all live in CloudAIGymEnv; keeping this shape check in core lets the overlay stay agent- and workload-agnostic rather than re-implemented per workload.
