Basic Examples

Use these examples to test how lightning works.

Test on CPU

python cpu_template.py

---

Train on a single GPU

python gpu_template.py --gpus 1

---

DataParallel (dp)

Train on multiple GPUs using DataParallel.

python gpu_template.py --gpus 2 --distributed_backend dp

---

DistributedDataParallel (ddp)

Train on multiple GPUs using DistributedDataParallel

python gpu_template.py --gpus 2 --distributed_backend ddp

---

DistributedDataParallel+DP (ddp2)

Train on multiple GPUs using DistributedDataParallel + DataParallel. On a single node, uses all GPUs for 1 model. Then shares gradient information across nodes.

python gpu_template.py --gpus 2 --distributed_backend ddp2
