DeepSpeedPrecisionPlugin

class pytorch_lightning.plugins.precision.DeepSpeedPrecisionPlugin(precision, amp_type=None, amp_level=None)

Bases: pytorch_lightning.plugins.precision.precision_plugin.PrecisionPlugin

Precision plugin for DeepSpeed integration.

Parameters

precision (Literal[‘32’, 32, ‘16’, 16, ‘bf16’]) – Full precision (32), half precision (16) or bfloat16 precision (bf16).

Raises

ValueError – If unsupported precision is provided.

backward(tensor, model, optimizer, optimizer_idx, *args, **kwargs)

Performs back-propagation using DeepSpeed’s engine.

Parameters

• tensor (Tensor) – the loss tensor

• model (LightningModule) – the model to be optimized

• optimizer (Optional[Steppable]) – ignored for DeepSpeed

• optimizer_idx (Optional[int]) – ignored for DeepSpeed

• *args – additional positional arguments for the deepspeed.DeepSpeedEngine.backward() call

• **kwargs – additional keyword arguments for the deepspeed.DeepSpeedEngine.backward() call

Return type

None

clip_gradients(optimizer, clip_val=0.0, gradient_clip_algorithm=GradClipAlgorithmType.NORM)

DeepSpeed handles gradient clipping internally.

Return type

None

optimizer_step(optimizer, model, optimizer_idx, closure, **kwargs)

Hook to run the optimizer step.

Return type

Any
