『TensorFlow』分布式训练_其三_多机分布式

本节中的代码大量使用『TensorFlow』分布式训练_其一_逻辑梳理中介绍的概念,是成熟的多机分布式训练样例

一、基本概念

Cluster、Job、task概念:三者可以简单的看成是层次关系,task可以看成每台机器上的一个进程,多个task组成job;job又有:ps、worker两种,分别用于参数服务、计算服务,组成cluster。

同步更新

各个用于并行计算的电脑,计算完各自的batch 后,求取梯度值,把梯度值统一送到ps服务机器中,由ps服务机器求取梯度平均值,更新ps服务器上的参数。

如下图所示,可以看成有四台电脑,第一台电脑用于存储参数、共享参数、共享计算,可以简单的理解成内存、计算共享专用的区域,也就是ps job;另外三台电脑用于并行计算的,也就是worker task。

这种计算方法存在的缺陷是:每一轮的梯度更新,都要等到A、B、C三台电脑都计算完毕后,才能更新参数,也就是迭代更新速度取决与A、B、C三台中,最慢的那一台电脑,所以采用同步更新的方法,建议A、B、C三台的计算能力都不想。

异步更新

ps服务器收到只要收到一台机器的梯度值,就直接进行参数更新,无需等待其它机器。这种迭代方法比较不稳定,收敛曲线震动比较厉害,因为当A机器计算完更新了ps中的参数,可能B机器还是在用上一次迭代的旧版参数值。


 二、抽象接口

1、定义分布式集群对象

tf.train.ClusterSpec

# coding=utf-8  
# 多台机器,每台机器有一个显卡、或者多个显卡,这种训练叫做分布式训练  
import  tensorflow as tf  
# 现在假设我们有A、B、C、D四台机器,首先需要在各台机器上写一份代码,并跑起来,各机器上的代码内容大部分相同  
# 除了开始定义的时候,需要各自指定该台机器的task之外。
# 以机器A为例子,A机器上的代码如下: cluster=tf.train.ClusterSpec({ "worker": [ "A_IP:2222", # 格式 IP地址:端口号,第一台机器A的IP地址 ,在代码中需要用这台机器计算的时候,就要定义:/job:worker/task:0 "B_IP:1234" # 第二台机器的IP地址 /job:worker/task:1 "C_IP:2222" # 第三台机器的IP地址 /job:worker/task:2 ], "ps": [ "D_IP:2222", # 第四台机器的IP地址 对应到代码块:/job:ps/task:0 ]})

然后我们需要写四分代码,这四分代码文件大部分相同,但是有几行代码是各不相同的(可以通过命令行参数使得字面相同各自选择if分支不同)。

2、在各台机器上,定义server

比如A机器上的代码server要定义如下:

server=tf.train.Server(cluster,job_name='worker',task_index=0)  # 找到‘worker’名字下的,task0,也就是机器A  

3、在代码中,指定device

device不仅可以指定卡,还可以将计算图中的不同节点指定不同机器

with tf.device('/job:ps/task:0'):      # 参数定义在机器D上  
    w=tf.get_variable('w',(2,2),tf.float32,initializer=tf.constant_initializer(2))  
    b=tf.get_variable('b',(2,2),tf.float32,initializer=tf.constant_initializer(5))  
      
with tf.device('/job:worker/task:0/cpu:0'):     # 在机器A cpu上运行  
    addwb=w+b  
with tf.device('/job:worker/task:1/cpu:0'):     # 在机器B cpu上运行  
    mutwb=w*b  
with tf.device('/job:worker/task:2/cpu:0'):     # 在机器C cpu上运行  
    divwb=w/b  

不过在深度学习训练图计算中,对于每个worker task来说,计算任务都是相同的,所以我们会把所有图计算、变量定义等代码,都写到下面这个语句下:

with tf.device(tf.train.replica_device_setter(worker_device='/job:worker/task:indexi',cluster=cluster)): 

 函数replica_deviec_setter会自动把变量参数定义部分定义到ps服务中(如果ps有多个任务,那么自动分配)。

下面举个例子,假设现在有两台机器A、B,A用于计算服务,B用于参数服务,那么代码如下:

# 上面是因为worker计算内容各不相同,不过再深度学习中,一般每个worker的计算内容是一样的,  
# 因为都是计算神经网络的每个batch的前向传导,所以一般代码是重用的  
import  tensorflow as tf  
# 现在假设我们有A、B台机器,首先需要在各台机器上写一份代码,并跑起来,各机器上的代码内容大部分相同  
# ,除了开始定义的时候,需要各自指定该台机器的task之外。以机器A为例子,A机器上的代码如下:  
cluster=tf.train.ClusterSpec({  
    "worker": [  
        "192.168.11.105:1234",  # 格式 IP地址:端口号,在代码中需要用这台机器计算的时候,就要定义:/job:worker/task:0  
    ],  
    "ps": [  
        "192.168.11.130:2223"   # 第四台机器的IP地址 对应到代码块:/job:ps/task:0  
    ]})  
  
# 不同的机器,下面这一行代码各不相同,server可以根据job_name、task_index两个参数,查找到集群cluster中对应的机器  
  
isps=False  
if isps:  
    server=tf.train.Server(cluster,job_name='ps',task_index=0)  # 找到‘ps’名字下的,task0,也就是机器A
    server.join()  
else:  
    server=tf.train.Server(cluster,job_name='worker',task_index=0)  # 找到‘worker’名字下的,task0,也就是机器B
    with tf.device(tf.train.replica_device_setter(worker_device='/job:worker/task:0',cluster=cluster)):  
        w=tf.get_variable('w',(2,2),tf.float32,initializer=tf.constant_initializer(2))  
        b=tf.get_variable('b',(2,2),tf.float32,initializer=tf.constant_initializer(5))  
        addwb=w+b  
        mutwb=w*b  
        divwb=w/b  
  
saver = tf.train.Saver()  
summary_op = tf.merge_all_summaries()  
init_op = tf.initialize_all_variables()  
sv = tf.train.Supervisor(init_op=init_op, summary_op=summary_op, saver=saver)  
with sv.managed_session(server.target) as sess:  
    while 1:  
        print sess.run([addwb,mutwb,divwb])  

把该代码在机器A上运行,程序会进入等候状态,等候用于ps参数服务的机器启动,才会运行。

因此接着我们需要在机器B上运行如下代码:

# 上面是因为worker计算内容各不相同,不过再深度学习中,一般每个worker的计算内容是一样的,  
# 因为都是计算神经网络的每个batch前向传导,所以一般代码是重用的  
#coding=utf-8  
#多台机器,每台机器有一个显卡、或者多个显卡,这种训练叫做分布式训练  
import  tensorflow as tf  
# 现在假设我们有A、B、C、D四台机器,首先需要在各台机器上写一份代码,并跑起来,各机器上的代码内容大部分相同  
# ,除了开始定义的时候,需要各自指定该台机器的task之外。以机器A为例子,A机器上的代码如下:  
cluster=tf.train.ClusterSpec({  
    "worker": [  
        "192.168.11.105:1234",  # 格式 IP地址:端口号,在代码中需要用这台机器计算的时候,就要定义:/job:worker/task:0  
    ],  
    "ps": [  
        "192.168.11.130:2223"   # 第四台机器的IP地址 对应到代码块:/job:ps/task:0  
    ]})  
  
# 不同的机器,下面这一行代码各不相同,server可以根据job_name、task_index两个参数,查找到集群cluster中对应的机器  
  
isps=True  
if isps:  
    server=tf.train.Server(cluster,job_name='ps',task_index=0)  # 找到‘ps’名字下的,task0,也就是机器A
    server.join()  
else:  
    server=tf.train.Server(cluster,job_name='worker',task_index=0)  # 找到‘worker’名字下的,task0,也就是机器B
    with tf.device(tf.train.replica_device_setter(worker_device='/job:worker/task:0',cluster=cluster)):  
        w=tf.get_variable('w',(2,2),tf.float32,initializer=tf.constant_initializer(2))  
        b=tf.get_variable('b',(2,2),tf.float32,initializer=tf.constant_initializer(5))  
        addwb=w+b  
        mutwb=w*b  
        divwb=w/b  
  
saver = tf.train.Saver()  
summary_op = tf.merge_all_summaries()  
init_op = tf.initialize_all_variables()  
sv = tf.train.Supervisor(init_op=init_op, summary_op=summary_op, saver=saver)

"""Distributed MNIST training and validation, with model replicas.
A simple softmax model with one hidden layer is defined. The parameters
(weights and biases) are located on one parameter server (ps), while the ops
are executed on two worker nodes by default. The TF sessions also run on the
worker node.
Multiple invocations of this script can be done in parallel, with different
values for --task_index. There should be exactly one invocation with
--task_index, which will create a master session that carries out variable
initialization. The other, non-master, sessions will wait for the master
session to finish the initialization before proceeding to the training stage.
The coordination between the multiple worker invocations occurs due to
the definition of the parameters on the same ps devices. The parameter updates
from one worker is visible to all other workers. As such, the workers can
perform forward computation and gradient calculation in parallel, which
should lead to increased training speed for the simple model.
