class ShardingStrategy(Enum):
"""
This specifies the sharding strategy to be used for distributed training by
:class:`FullyShardedDataParallel`.
- ``FULL_SHARD``: Parameters, gradients, and optimizer states are sharded.
For the parameters, this strategy unshards (via all-gather) before the
forward, reshards after the forward, unshards before the backward
computation, and reshards after the backward computation. For gradients,
it synchronizes and shards them (via reduce-scatter) after the backward
computation. The sharded optimizer states are updated locally per rank.
- ``SHARD_GRAD_OP``: Gradients and optimizer states are sharded during
computation, and additionally, parameters are sharded outside
computation. For the parameters, this strategy unshards before the
forward, does not reshard them after the forward, and only reshards them
after the backward computation. The sharded optimizer states are updated
locally per rank. Inside ``no_sync()``, the parameters are not resharded
after the backward computation.
- ``NO_SHARD``: Parameters, gradients, and optimizer states are not sharded
but instead replicated across ranks similar to PyTorch's
:class:`DistributedDataParallel` API. For gradients, this strategy
synchronizes them (via all-reduce) after the backward computation. The
unsharded optimizer states are updated locally per rank.
- ``HYBRID_SHARD``: Apply ``FULL_SHARD`` within a node, and replicate parameters across
nodes. This results in reduced communication volume as expensive all-gathers and
reduce-scatters are only done within a node, which can be more performant for medium
-sized models.
- ``_HYBRID_SHARD_ZERO2``: Apply ``SHARD_GRAD_OP`` within a node, and replicate parameters across
nodes. This is like ``HYBRID_SHARD``, except this may provide even higher throughput
since the unsharded parameters are not freed after the forward pass, saving the
all-gathers in the pre-backward.

class BackwardPrefetch(Enum):
"""
This configures explicit backward prefetching, which improves throughput by
enabling communication and computation overlap in the backward pass at the
cost of slightly increased memory usage.
- ``BACKWARD_PRE``: This enables the most overlap but increases memory
usage the most. This prefetches the next set of parameters *before* the
current set of parameters' gradient computation. This overlaps the *next
all-gather* and the *current gradient computation*, and at the peak, it
holds the current set of parameters, next set of parameters, and current
set of gradients in memory.
- ``BACKWARD_POST``: This enables less overlap but requires less memory
usage. This prefetches the next set of parameters *after* the current
set of parameters' gradient computation. This overlaps the *current
reduce-scatter* and the *next gradient computation*, and it frees the
current set of parameters before allocating memory for the next set of
parameters, only holding the next set of parameters and current set of
gradients in memory at the peak.
- FSDP's ``backward_prefetch`` argument accepts ``None``, which disables
the backward prefetching altogether. This has no overlap and does not
increase memory usage. In general, we do not recommend this setting since
it may degrade throughput significantly.
For more technical context: For a single process group using NCCL backend,
any collectives, even if issued from different streams, contend for the
same per-device NCCL stream, which implies that the relative order in which
the collectives are issued matters for overlapping. The two backward
prefetching values correspond to different issue orders.
"""
# NOTE: For both modes, the ordering that defines "current" and "next" is
# not always exact in the current implementation. A mistargeted prefetch
# simply means that the parameter memory is allocated earlier than needed,
# possibly increasing peak memory usage, but does not affect correctness.

class MixedPrecision:
"""
This configures FSDP-native mixed precision training.
Attributes:
param_dtype (Optional[torch.dtype]): This specifies the dtype for model
parameters during forward and backward and thus the dtype for
forward and backward computation. Outside forward and backward, the
*sharded* parameters are kept in full precision (e.g. for the
optimizer step), and for model checkpointing, the parameters are
always saved in full precision. (Default: ``None``)
reduce_dtype (Optional[torch.dtype]): This specifies the dtype for
gradient reduction (i.e. reduce-scatter or all-reduce). If this is
``None`` but ``param_dtype`` is not ``None``, then this takes on
the ``param_dtype`` value, still running gradient reduction in low
precision. This is permitted to differ from ``param_dtype``, e.g.
to force gradient reduction to run in full precision. (Default:
``None``)
buffer_dtype (Optional[torch.dtype]): This specifies the dtype for
buffers. FSDP does not shard buffers. Rather, FSDP casts them to
``buffer_dtype`` in the first forward pass and keeps them in that
dtype thereafter. For model checkpointing, the buffers are saved
in full precision except for ``LOCAL_STATE_DICT``. (Default:
``None``)
keep_low_precision_grads (bool): If ``False``, then FSDP upcasts
gradients to full precision after the backward pass in preparation
for the optimizer step. If ``True``, then FSDP keeps the gradients
in the dtype used for gradient reduction, which can save memory if
using a custom optimizer that supports running in low precision.
(Default: ``False``)
cast_forward_inputs (bool): If ``True``, then this FSDP module casts
its forward args and kwargs to ``param_dtype``. This is to ensure
that parameter and input dtypes match for forward computation, as
required by many ops. This may need to be set to ``True`` when only
applying mixed precision to some but not all FSDP modules, in which
case a mixed-precision FSDP submodule needs to recast its inputs.
(Default: ``False``)
cast_root_forward_inputs (bool): If ``True``, then the root FSDP module
casts its forward args and kwargs to ``param_dtype``, overriding
the value of ``cast_forward_inputs``. For non-root FSDP modules,
this does not do anything. (Default: ``True``)
_module_classes_to_ignore: (Sequence[Type[nn.Module]]): This specifies
module classes to ignore for mixed precision when using an
``auto_wrap_policy``: Modules of these classes will have FSDP
applied to them separately with mixed precision disabled (meaning
that the final FSDP construction would deviate from the specified
policy). If ``auto_wrap_policy`` is not specified, then this does
not do anything. This API is experimental and subject to change.
(Default: ``(_BatchNorm,)``)
.. note:: This API is experimental and subject to change.
.. note:: Only floating point tensors are cast to their specified dtypes.
.. note:: In ``summon_full_params``, parameters are forced to full
precision, but buffers are not.
.. note:: Layer norm and batch norm accumulate in ``float32`` even when
their inputs are in a low precision like ``float16`` or ``bfloat16``.
Disabling FSDP's mixed precision for those norm modules only means that
the affine parameters are kept in ``float32``. However, this incurs
separate all-gathers and reduce-scatters for those norm modules, which
may be inefficient, so if the workload permits, the user should prefer
to still apply mixed precision to those modules.
.. note:: By default, if the user passes a model with any ``_BatchNorm``
modules and specifies an ``auto_wrap_policy``, then the batch norm
modules will have FSDP applied to them separately with mixed precision
disabled. See the ``_module_classes_to_ignore`` argument.
.. note:: ``MixedPrecision`` has ``cast_root_forward_inputs=True`` and
``cast_forward_inputs=False`` by default. For the root FSDP instance,
its ``cast_root_forward_inputs`` takes precedence over its
``cast_forward_inputs``. For non-root FSDP instances, their
``cast_root_forward_inputs`` values are ignored. The default setting is
sufficient for the typical case where each FSDP instance has the same
``MixedPrecision`` configuration and only needs to cast inputs to the
``param_dtype`` at the beginning of the model's forward pass.
.. note:: For nested FSDP instances with different ``MixedPrecision``
configurations, we recommend setting individual ``cast_forward_inputs``
values to configure casting inputs or not before each instance's
forward. In such a case, since the casts happen before each FSDP
instance's forward, a parent FSDP instance should have its non-FSDP
submodules run before its FSDP submodules to avoid the activation dtype
being changed due to a different ``MixedPrecision`` configuration.
Example::
>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("undefined variables")
>>> model = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(3, 3), nn.Linear(3, 3))
>>> model[1] = FSDP(
>>> model[1],
>>> mixed_precision=MixedPrecision(param_dtype=torch.float16, cast_forward_inputs=True),
>>> )
>>> model = FSDP(
>>> model,
>>> mixed_precision=MixedPrecision(param_dtype=torch.bfloat16, cast_forward_inputs=True),
>>> )
The above shows a working example. On the other hand, if ``model[1]``
were replaced with ``model[0]``, meaning that the submodule using
different ``MixedPrecision`` ran its forward first, then ``model[1]``
would incorrectly see ``float16`` activations instead of ``bfloat16``
ones.
