Running DistilBERT inference on Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series using Intel® Extension for PyTorch*

Overview

This document has instructions for running DistilBERT inference inference using Intel® Extension for PyTorch on Intel® Flex Series GPU.

Requirements

Item Detail
Host machine Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series 170
Drivers GPU-compatible drivers need to be installed: Download Driver
Software Docker*

Datasets

Refer to instructions here to download and prepare the dataset. Set DATASET_DIR to point to the dataset directory.

Quick Start Scripts

Script name Description
run_model.sh Inference with batch size 32 on Flex series 170

Run Using Docker

Set up Docker Image

docker pull intel/language-modeling:pytorch-flex-gpu-distilbert-inference

Run Docker Image

The distilbert inference container includes scripts, model and libraries needed to run FP16 and FP32 inference. To run the run_model.sh quickstart script using this container, you will need to provide an output directory where log files will be written.

#Optional 
export PRECISION=<provide FP32 or FP16 otherwise (default:FP16)>
export BATCH_SIZE=<provide batch size otherwise (default:32)>
export NUM_ITERATIONS=<provide num_iterations otherwise (default:300)>

#Required
export PLATFORM=Flex
export MULTI_TILE=False
export OUTPUT_DIR=<path to output directory>
export SCRIPT=run_model.sh
export DATASET_DIR=<path to dataset directory>

IMAGE=intel/language-modeling:pytorch-flex-gpu-distilbert-inference
DOCKER_ARGS="--rm -it"

docker run \
  --privileged \
  --device=/dev/dri \
  --ipc=host \
  --env PRECISION=${PRECISION} \
  --env DATASET_DIR=${DATASET_DIR} \
  --env NUM_ITERATIONS=${NUM_ITERATIONS} \
  --env OUTPUT_DIR=${OUTPUT_DIR} \
  --env MULTI_TILE=${MULTI_TILE} \
