Can confirm: when the model is loaded in safetensors format, this can reduce the memory usage by a factor of 5+. When experimenting with llama2-70b, we found that the memory usage before this fix was over 260GB per process before it OOMed. After the fix, it took <250GB in total. This is likely because safetensors can memmap the weight files into the same os-wide cache such that different ranks point to the same memory. To reproduce: deepspeed --num_gpus 4 inference-test.py --model meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-hf --batch_size 2 --dtype float16 --max_new_tokens 32 --test_performance |
