EFA在 DLAMI
下一节介绍EFA如何使用在上运行多节点应用程序。 AWS Deep Learning AMIs
使用 EFA 运行多节点应用程序
要在节点群集中运行应用程序，需要进行以下配置
启用无密码 SSH
选择集群中的一个节点作为领导节点。其余节点称为成员节点。
在领导节点上，生成RSA密钥对。
ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa更改领导节点上私有密钥的权限。
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa将公钥复制
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub到集群中的成员节点，并将其附加到~/.ssh/authorized_keys集群中的成员节点。现在，您应该能够使用私有 ip 从领导节点直接登录到成员节点。
ssh <member private ip>通过将以下内容添加到领导节点上的 ~/.ssh/config 文件中，禁用 strictHostKey检查并在领导节点上启用代理转发：
Host * ForwardAgent yes Host * StrictHostKeyChecking no在 Amazon Linux 2 实例上，在领导节点上运行以下命令，为配置文件提供正确的权限：
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
创建主机文件
在领导节点上，创建主机文件以标识集群中的节点。主机文件必须针对集群中的每个节点都有一个条目。创建文件 ~/hosts 并使用私有 IP 添加每个节点，如下所示：
localhost slots=8 <private ip of node 1> slots=8 <private ip of node 2> slots=8
NCCL测试
注意
这些测试已使用EFA版本 1.30.0 和OFINCCL插件 1.7.4 运行。
下面列出了Nvidia提供的NCCL测试子集，用于在多个计算节点上测试功能和性能
支持的实例：p3dn、P4、P5
NCCL消息传输多节点测试
nccl_message_transfer 是一个简单的测试，旨在确保插件按预期运行。NCCL OFI该测试验证了NCCL的连接建立和数据传输APIs的功能。使用运行NCCL应用程序时，请确保使用示例中所示的 mpirun 的完整路径。EFAN根据集群GPUs中的实例数量和实例数量更改参数np。有关更多信息，请参阅AWS OFINCCL文档
以下 ncl_message_transfer 测试适用于通用 xx.x 版本。CUDA您可以通过替换脚本中的CUDA版本来运行适用于您的 Amazon EC2 实例中任何可用CUDA版本的命令。
$/opt/amazon/openmpi/bin/mpirun -n 2 -N 1 --hostfile hosts \ -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-xx.x/efa/lib:/usr/local/cuda-xx.x/lib:/usr/local/cuda-xx.x/lib64:/usr/local/cuda-xx.x:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \ --mca btl tcp,self --mca btl_tcp_if_exclude lo,docker0 --bind-to none \ opt/aws-ofi-nccl/tests/nccl_message_transfer
您的输出应与以下内容类似。您可以查看输出以查看EFA它是否被用作OFI提供程序。

在 p4d.24xLarge 上进行多节点NCCL性能测试
要检查NCCL性能EFA，请运行官方测试存储库中提供的标准NCCLNCCL性能测试
构建您自己的脚本时，请参阅以下指南：
-
使用运行NCCL应用程序时，使用示例中所示的 mpirun 的完整路径。EFA
-
根据集群GPUs中的实例数量更改参数 np 和 N。
-
添加 NCCL _ DEBUG = INFO 标志，并确保日志将EFA使用情况显示为 “所选提供商是EFA”。
-
设置要解析的训练日志位置以进行验证
TRAINING_LOG="testEFA_$(date +"%N").log"
watch nvidia-smi在任何成员节点上使用该命令来监控GPU使用情况。以下watch nvidia-smi命令适用于通用 CUDA xx.x 版本，具体取决于您的实例的操作系统。您可以通过替换脚本中的CUDA版本来运行适用于您的 Amazon EC2 实例中任何可用CUDA版本的命令。

要验证EFA测试是否返回了有效结果，请使用以下测试进行确认：
-
使用实例元数据获取EC2实例类型：
TOKEN=$(curl -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 21600") INSTANCE_TYPE=$(curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" -v http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-type) -
运行性能测试
-
设置以下参数
CUDA_VERSION CUDA_RUNTIME_VERSION NCCL_VERSION -
验证结果，如下所示：
