Running DistilBERT inference on Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series using Intel® Extension for PyTorch*
This document has instructions for running DistilBERT inference inference using Intel® Extension for PyTorch on Intel® Max Series GPU.
Item | Detail |
---|---|
Host machine | Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series |
Drivers | GPU-compatible drivers need to be installed: Download Driver |
Software | Docker* |
Refer to instructions here to download and prepare the dataset. Set DATASET_DIR
to point to the dataset directory.
Script name | Description |
---|---|
run_model.sh |
Inference with batch size 32 on Max series |
docker pull intel/language-modeling:pytorch-max-gpu-distilbert-inference
The distilbert inference container includes scripts, model and libraries needed to run FP16,BF16 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, BF16 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=Max
export MULTI_TILE=True
export OUTPUT_DIR=<path to output directory>
export SCRIPT=run_model.sh
export DATASET_DIR=<path to dataset directory>
IMAGE=intel/language-modeling:pytorch-max-gpu-distilbert-inference
