LiBai
Introduction
English | 简体中文
LiBai is a large-scale open-source model training toolbox based on OneFlow. The main branch works with OneFlow 0.7.0.
Highlights
-
Support a collection of parallel training components
LiBai provides multiple parallelisms such as Data Parallelism, Tensor Parallelism, and Pipeline Parallelism. It's also extensible for other new parallelisms.
-
Varied training techniques
LiBai provides many out-of-the-box training techniques such as Distributed Training, Mixed Precision Training, Activation Checkpointing, Recomputation, Gradient Accumulation, and Zero Redundancy Optimizer(ZeRO).
-
Support for both CV and NLP tasks
LiBai has predifined data process for both CV and NLP datasets such as CIFAR, ImageNet, and BERT Dataset.
-
Easy to use
LiBai's components are designed to be modular for easier usage as follows:
- LazyConfig system for more flexible syntax and no predefined structures
- Friendly trainer and engine
- Used as a library to support building research projects on it. See projects/ for some projects that are built based on LiBai
