GPT-J

In this directory, you will find examples on how you could run GPT-J FP16 infernece with self-speculative decoding using IPEX-LLM on Intel GPUs. For illustration purposes,we utilize the EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b as reference GPT-J models.

0. Requirements

To run these examples with IPEX-LLM on Intel GPUs, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to here for more information.

Example: Predict Tokens using generate() API

In the example speculative.py, we show a basic use case for a GPT-J model to predict the next N tokens using generate() API, with IPEX-LLM speculative decoding optimizations on Intel GPUs.

1. Install

We suggest using conda to manage environment:

conda create -n llm python=3.11
conda activate llm
# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/

2. Configures OneAPI environment variables

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

3. Run

For optimal performance on Intel Data Center GPU Max Series, it is recommended to set several environment variables.

export LD_PRELOAD=${LD_PRELOAD}:${CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/libtcmalloc.so
export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
export ENABLE_SDP_FUSION=1
python ./speculative.py --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH --prompt PROMPT --n-predict N_PREDICT

Arguments info:

  • --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the GPT-J model (e.g. EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be 'EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b'.
  • --prompt PROMPT: argument defining the prompt to be infered (with integrated prompt format for chat). A default prompt is provided.
  • --n-predict N_PREDICT: argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be 128.

Sample Output

It is done, and submitted. You can play 'Survival of the Tastiest' on Android, and on the web. Playing on the web works, but you have to simulate multiple touch for table moving and that can be a bit confusing. There is a lot I'd like to talk about. I will go through every topic, insted of making the typical what went right/wrong list. Concept Working over the theme was probably one of the hardest tasks which I had to face. Originally, I had an idea of what kind of game I wanted to develop, gameplay wise - something with a lot of enemies/actors, simple graphics, maybe set in space, controlled from a top-down view. I was confident that I could fit any theme around it. In the end, the problem with a theme like 'Evolution' in a game is that evolution is unassisted. It happens through several seemingly random mutations over time, with the most apt permutation surviving. This genetic car simulator is, in my opinion, a great example of actual evolution of a species facing a challenge. But is it a game? In a game, you need to control something to reach an objective. That control goes against what evolution is supposed to be like. If you allow the user to pick how to evolve something, it's not evolution anymore - it's the equivalent of intelligent design, the fable invented by creationists to combat the idea of evolution. Being agnostic and a Pastafarian, that's not something that rubbed me the right way. Hence, my biggest dillema when deciding what to create was not with what I wanted to create, but with what I did not. I didn't want to create an 'intelligent design' simulator and wrongly call it evolution. This is a problem, of course, every other contestant also had to face. And judging by the entries submitted, not many managed to work around it. I'd say the only real solution was through the use of artificial selection, somehow. So far, I have not seen any entry using this at its core gameplay. Alas, this is just a fun competition and after a while I decided not to be as strict with the game idea, and allowed myself to pick whatever I thought would work out. My initial idea was to create something where humanity tried to evolve to a next level but had some kind of foe trying to stop them from doing so. I kind of had this image of human souls flying in space towards a monolith or a space baby (all based in 2001: A Space Odyssey of course) but I couldn't think of compelling (read: serious) mechanics for that. Borgs were my next inspiration, as their whole hypothesis fit pretty well into the evolution theme. But how to make it work? Are you the borg, or fighting the Borg? The third and final idea came to me through my girlfriend, who somehow gave me the idea of making something about the evolution of Pasta. The more I thought about it the more it sounded like it would work, so I decided to go with it. Conversations with my inspiring co-worker Roushey (who also created the 'Mechanical Underdogs' signature logo for my intros) further matured the concept, as it involved into the idea of having individual pieces of pasta flying around and trying to evolve until they became all-powerful. A secondary idea here was that the game would work to explain how the Flying Spaghetti Monster came to exist - by evolving from a normal dinner table. So the idea evolved more or less into this: you are sitting a table. You have your own plate, with is your 'base'. There are 5 other guests at the table, each with their own plate. Your plate can spawn little pieces of pasta. You do so by 'ordering' them through a menu. Some pastas are better than others; some are faster, some are stronger. They have varying 'costs', which are debited from your credits (you start with a number of credits). Once spawned, your pastas start flying around. Their instinct is to fly to other plates, in order to conquer them (the objective of the game is having your pasta conquer all the plates on the table). But they are really autonomous, so after being spawned, you have no control over your pasta (think DotA or LoL creeps). Your pasta doesn't like other people's pasta, so if they meet, they shoot sauce at each other until one dies. You get credits for other pastas your own pasta kill. Once a pasta is in the vicinity of a plate, it will try to conquer it. If it succeeds, it will spawn a new pasta. If it fails, it will die. The more you order, the more pastas you can spawn. The more pastas you spawn, the more you can order. The more you order, the more you can evolve. The more you evolve, the more you can order. The more you order, the more you can evolve. The more you evolve, the more you can order. The more you order, the more you can evolve. The more you evolve, the more you can order. The more you order, the more you can evolve
