Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

Multi-node-training on slurm with PyTorch

What's this?

• A simple note for how to start multi-node-training on slurm scheduler with PyTorch.
• Useful especially when scheduler is too busy that you cannot get multiple GPUs allocated, or you need more than 4 GPUs for a single job.
• Requirement: Have to use PyTorch DistributedDataParallel(DDP) for this purpose.
• Warning: might need to re-factor your own code.
• Warning: might be secretly condemned by your colleagues because using too many GPUs.

(Internal Tranining Material)

Usually the first step in performance optimization is to do profiling, e.g. to identify performance hotspots of a workload. This gist tells basic knowledge of performance profiling on PyTorch, you will get:

• How to find the bottleneck operator?
• How to trace source file of a particular operator?
• How do I indentify threading issues? (oversubscription)
• How do I tell a specific operator is running efficiently or not?

This tutorial takes one of my recent projects - pssp-transformer as an example to guide you through path of PyTorch CPU peformance optimization. Focus will be on Part 1 & Part 2.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
