Compile Option Table

BLAS

PaddlePaddle supports two BLAS libraries, MKL and OpenBlAS. MKL is used by default. If you use MKL and the machine contains the AVX2 instruction set, you will also download the MKL-DNN math library, for details please refer to here.

If you close MKL, OpenBLAS will be used as the BLAS library.

CUDA/cuDNN

PaddlePaddle automatically finds the CUDA and cuDNN libraries installed in the system for compilation and execution at compile time/runtime. Use the parameter -DCUDA_ARCH_NAME=Auto to specify to enable automatic detection of the SM architecture and speed up compilation.

PaddlePaddle can be compiled and run using any version after cuDNN v5.1, but try to keep the same version of cuDNN in the compiling and running processes. We recommend using the latest version of cuDNN.

Configure Compile Options

PaddePaddle implements references to various BLAS/CUDA/cuDNN libraries by specifying paths at compile time. When cmake compiles, it first searches the system paths ( /usr/liby and /usr/local/lib ) for these libraries, and also reads the relevant path variables for searching. Can be set by using the -D command, for example:

Cmake .. -DWITH_GPU=ON -DWITH_TESTING=OFF -DCUDNN_ROOT=/opt/cudnnv5

Note: The settings introduced here for these compilation options are only valid for the first cmake. If you want to reset it later, it is recommended to clean up the entire build directory ( rm -rf ) and then specify it.

Table instruction

  • Vertical axis

cpu-mkl: Support CPU training and prediction, use Intel MKL math library

cuda10_cudnn7-mkl: Support GPU training and prediction, use Intel MKL math library

  • Transverse axis

Generally, it is similar to “cp310-cp310”, in which:

310:python tag, refers to python3.10. Similarly, there are “38”, “39”, “310”, “311”, “312”, etc

mu:refers to unicode version python, if it is m, refers to non Unicode version Python

  • Installation package naming rules

Each installation package has a unique name. They are named according to the official rules of Python. The form is as follows:

{distribution}-{version}(-{build tag})?-{python tag}-{abi tag}-{platform tag}.whl

The build tag can be missing, and other parts cannot be missing

distribution: wheel name

version: Version, for example 0.14.0 (must be in numeric format)

python tag: similar to ‘py38’, ‘py39’, ‘py310’, ‘py311’, ‘py312’, used to indicate the corresponding Python version

abi tag: similar to ‘cp33m’, ‘abi3’, ‘none’

platform tag: similar to ‘linux_x86_64’, ‘any’



Execute the PaddlePaddle training program in Docker

Suppose you have written a PaddlePaddle program in the current directory (such as /home/work): train.py ( refer to PaddlePaddleBook to write), you can start the training with the following command:

cd /home/work
docker run -it -v $PWD:/work registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle /work/train.py

In the above commands, the -it parameter indicates that the container has been run interactively; -v $PWD:/work specifies that the current path (the absolute path where the PWD variable in Linux will expand to the current path) is mounted to the :/work directory inside the container: registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle specifies the container to be used; finally /work/train.py is the command executed inside the container, ie. the training program.

Of course, you can also enter into the Docker container and execute or debug your code interactively:

docker run -it -v $PWD:/work registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle /bin/bash
cd /work
python train.py

**Note: In order to reduce the size, vim is not installed in PaddlePaddle Docker image by default. You can edit the code in the container after executing ** apt-get install -y vim (which installs vim for you) in the container.



Start PaddlePaddle Book tutorial with Docker

Use Docker to quickly launch a local Jupyter Notebook containing the PaddlePaddle official Book tutorial, which can be viewed on the web. PaddlePaddle Book is an interactive Jupyter Notebook for users and developers. If you want to learn more about deep learning, PaddlePaddle Book is definitely your best choice. You can read tutorials or create and share interactive documents with code, formulas, charts, and text.

We provide a Docker image that can run the PaddlePaddle Book directly, running directly:

docker run -p 8888:8888 registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/book

Domestic users can use the following image source to speed up access:

docker run -p 8888:8888 registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/book

Then enter the following URL in your browser:

http://localhost:8888/



Perform GPU training using Docker

In order to ensure that the GPU driver works properly in the image, we recommend using nvidia-docker to run the image. Don’t forget to install the latest GPU drivers on your physical machine in advance.

Nvidia-docker run -it -v $PWD:/work registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle:latest-gpu /bin/bash

Note: If you don’t have nvidia-docker installed, you can try the following to mount the CUDA library and Linux devices into the Docker container:

export CUDA_SO="$(\ls /usr/lib64/libcuda* | xargs -I{} echo '-v {}:{}') \
$(\ls /usr/lib64/libnvidia* | xargs -I{} echo '-v {}:{}')"
export DEVICES=$(\ls /dev/nvidia* | xargs -I{} echo '--device {}:{}')
docker run ${CUDA_SO} \
${DEVICES} -it registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle:latest-gpu
