Arena supports and simplifies distributed TensorFlow Training(ps/worker mode).
- To run a distributed Tensorflow Training, you need to specify:
- GPUs of each worker (only for GPU workload)
- The number of workers (required)
- The number of PS (required)
- The docker image of worker (required)
- The docker image of PS (required)
- The Port of Worker (default is 22222)
- The Port of PS (default is 22223)
The following command is an example. In this example, it defines 2 workers and 1 PS, and each worker has 1 GPU. The source code of worker and PS are located in git, and the tensorboard are enabled.
# arena submit tf --name=tf-dist-git \
--gpus=1 \
--workers=2 \
--workerImage=tensorflow/tensorflow:1.5.0-devel-gpu \
--syncMode=git \
--syncSource=https://github.com/cheyang/tensorflow-sample-code.git \
--ps=1 \
--psImage=tensorflow/tensorflow:1.5.0-devel \
--tensorboard \
"python code/tensorflow-sample-code/tfjob/docker/v1alpha2/distributed-mnist/main.py --log_dir /training_logs"
