Weights & Biases (wandb)

Weights & Biases (wandb) est une plateforme de méta-apprentissage machine qui permet de construire des modèles pour des applications concrètes. La plateforme permet de suivre, comparer, décrire et reproduire les expériences d'apprentissage machine.

Utilisation sur nos grappes

Disponibilité

Puisque wandb exige une connexion à l'internet, sa disponibilité sur les nœuds de calcul dépend de la grappe.

Grappe	Disponible
Béluga	oui ✅	avant d'utiliser wandb, chargez le module httpproxy avec module load httpproxy
Cedar	oui ✅	accès internet activé
Graham	non ❌	accès internet désactivé sur les nœuds de calcul

Béluga

While it is possible to upload basic metrics to Weights&Biases during a job on Béluga, the wandb package automatically uploads information about the user's environment to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. It is not currently possible to disable this behaviour. Uploading artifacts to W&B with wandb.save() also requires access to Google Cloud Storage, which is not available on Béluga's compute nodes.

Users can still use wandb on Béluga by enabling the offline or dryrun modes. In these two modes, wandb will write all metrics, logs and artifacts to the local disk and will not attempt to sync anything to the Weights&Biases service on the internet. After their jobs finish running, users can sync their wandb content to the online service by running the command wandb sync on the login node.

Exemple

L'exemple suivant montre comment utiliser wandb pour le suivi de l'expérimentation sur Béluga. Pour reproduire ceci sur Cedar, il n'est pas nécessaire de charger le module httpproxy.

### Save your wandb API key in your .bash_profile or replace $API_KEY with your actual API key. Uncomment the line below and comment out 'wandb offline'. if running on Cedar ###

python wandb-test.py

Le script wandb-test.py utilise la méthode watch() pour journaliser les métriques. Voir la documentation complète.
