Research direction

Start with the step2_reward_model_finetuning instructions and training_scripts/opt/single_gpu/run_350m.sh, then reproduce the out-of-memory failure on the reported V100 setups. Done means identifying a documented configuration that runs successfully or clearly recording the GPU requirements and required changes.

Description

I follow the instructions of this page to do step2_reward_model_finetuning with demo code.

On the Google Cloud platform, I create one instance with a single V100(16GB) and another instance with double V100(16GB). I directly use this command bash training_scripts/opt/single_gpu/run_350m.sh but always meet the out-of-memory issues.

Are there any modifications I could do to run this demo code on double V100(16BG)? Or Are there recommendations about which type of GPU I should use to run this demo code successfully?

Appreciate the help!
