CODE 02: Megatron 张量并行复现#
Author by: 许灿岷
在大模型训练中，张量并行（Tensor Parallelism, TP）是一种关键技术，它通过将模型的单个层或操作分布在多个设备上来解决内存限制和计算瓶颈。NVIDIA 的 Megatron-LM 框架是 TP 技术的典型代表，它专门针对 Transformer 架构进行了优化。
本实验将深入探讨 Megatron 风格的 TP 原理，并通过可执行的代码实现展示如何在 Transformer 模型中应用。
1. TP 基础原理#
TP 核心思想是将大矩阵运算分解到多个设备上执行。考虑一个简单的矩阵乘法运算：\(Y = XW\)，其中 \(X\) 是输入矩阵，\(W\) 是权重矩阵。
在 TP 中，我们将权重矩阵 \(W\) 按列分割为多个子矩阵：
\[W = [W_1, W_2, ..., W_n]\]
每个设备 \(i\) 计算部分结果：
\[Y_i = XW_i\]
然后通过 All-Gather 操作收集所有部分结果：
\[Y = [Y_1, Y_2, ..., Y_n]\]
这种分割方式的数学表达为：
\[Y = XW = X[W_1, W_2, ..., W_n] = [XW_1, XW_2, ..., XW_n]\]
对于反向传播，梯度也需要相应的分割和聚合操作。这种并行策略特别适合 Transformer 架构，因为其核心组件（MLP 和 Attention）都包含大量的矩阵运算。
下面我们先进行模型结构的搭建和初始化分布式训练环境：

@staticmethod
def forward(ctx, x):
ctx.world_size = dist.get_world_size()

dist.all_gather(gathered, x)
return torch.cat(gathered, dim=-1)
@staticmethod
def backward(ctx, grad):
return grad.chunk(ctx.world_size, dim=-1)[dist.get_rank()]
class AllReduce(torch.autograd.Function):
"""AllReduce操作的autograd包装 - 修复PyTorch警告"""
@staticmethod
def forward(ctx, x):
output = x.clone()
dist.all_reduce(output, op=dist.ReduceOp.SUM)
return output
@staticmethod
def backward(ctx, grad):
# 梯度在反向传播时也需要all_reduce
output = grad.clone()
dist.all_reduce(output, op=dist.ReduceOp.SUM)
return output
这些基础工具函数为 TP 提供了必要的通信原语，两者均支持自动微分，确保反向传播时梯度能正确传递。
2. MLP 层 TP 实现#
在 Transformer 的 MLP 层中，通常包含两个线性变换和一个激活函数：
\[MLP(x) = Activation(xW_1 + b_1)W_2 + b_2\]
TP 将这两个线性变换分割到多个设备上，核心策略是列并行+行并行的组合，平衡计算量与通信开销：
第一个线性变换（\(xW_1\)）按列分割权重 \(W_1\)，每个设备计算部分输出后通过 All-Gather 聚合；
第二个线性变换（\(Activation(...)W_2\)）按行分割权重 \(W_2\)，输入先通过 Reduce-Scatter 分散后再计算。
class ColumnLinear(nn.Module):
"""列并行线性层"""
def __init__(self, in_dim, out_dim, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
self.local_out_dim = out_dim // world_size
self.weight = Parameter(torch.Tensor(self.local_out_dim, in_dim))
self.bias = Parameter(torch.Tensor(self.local_out_dim))
nn.init.xavier_uniform_(self.weight)
nn.init.zeros_(self.bias)
def forward(self, x):
local_out = F.linear(x, self.weight, self.bias)
return local_out
class RowLinear(nn.Module):
"""行并行线性层 - 使用AllReduce包装"""
def __init__(self, in_dim, out_dim, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
self.local_in_dim = in_dim // world_size
self.weight = Parameter(torch.Tensor(out_dim, self.local_in_dim))
self.bias = Parameter(torch.Tensor(out_dim))
nn.init.xavier_uniform_(self.weight)
nn.init.zeros_(self.bias)
def forward(self, x):
input_chunks = x.chunk(dist.get_world_size(), dim=-1)
local_input = input_chunks[dist.get_rank()]
local_output = F.linear(local_input, self.weight, self.bias)
# 使用AllReduce包装，修复autograd警告
return AllReduce.apply(local_output)
class ParallelMLP(nn.Module):
"""并行 MLP 层"""
def __init__(self, hidden_size, ffn_size, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
self.fc1 = ColumnLinear(hidden_size, ffn_size, world_size, rank)
self.fc2 = RowLinear(ffn_size, hidden_size, world_size, rank)
def forward(self, x):
intermediate = self.fc1(x)
intermediate_full = AllGather.apply(intermediate)
activated = F.gelu(intermediate_full)
return self.fc2(activated)
该实现的核心优势是无计算冗余：每个设备仅计算部分矩阵乘法，通过两次通信操作（All-Gather+Reduce-Scatter）确保最终结果与单卡计算完全一致，同时将单卡内存占用降低至 \(1/world_size\)。
3. Attention 层 TP 实现#
Transformer 的 Attention 层包含三个核心计算：Q（查询）、K（键）、V（值）的投影，以及 Attention 分数计算与加权求和。其数学表达为：
\[
Attention(Q, K, V) = Softmax(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}})V
\]
在 TP 中，核心策略是注意力头分片：将所有注意力头均匀分配到多个设备，每个设备仅计算部分头的 Attention 结果，最后通过输出投影层聚合。
class ParallelAttention(nn.Module):
"""并行 Attention 层"""
def __init__(self, hidden_size, num_heads, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
assert hidden_size % num_heads == 0
assert num_heads % world_size == 0
self.head_dim = hidden_size // num_heads
self.num_heads = num_heads
self.world_size = world_size
self.local_heads = num_heads // world_size
self.q_proj = ColumnLinear(hidden_size, hidden_size, world_size, rank)
self.k_proj = ColumnLinear(hidden_size, hidden_size, world_size, rank)
self.v_proj = ColumnLinear(hidden_size, hidden_size, world_size, rank)
self.out_proj = RowLinear(hidden_size, hidden_size, world_size, rank)
def forward(self, x, mask=None):
B, S, _ = x.shape
q = self.q_proj(x)
k = self.k_proj(x)
v = self.v_proj(x)
q = q.view(B, S, self.local_heads, self.head_dim).transpose(1, 2)
k = k.view(B, S, self.local_heads, self.head_dim).transpose(1, 2)
v = v.view(B, S, self.local_heads, self.head_dim).transpose(1, 2)
attn_scores = torch.matmul(q, k.transpose(-2, -1)) / (self.head_dim ** 0.5)
if mask is not None:
attn_scores += mask
attn_weights = F.softmax(attn_scores, dim=-1)
attn_output = torch.matmul(attn_weights, v)
attn_output = attn_output.transpose(1, 2).contiguous()
attn_output = attn_output.view(B, S, self.local_heads * self.head_dim)
complete_attn_output = AllGather.apply(attn_output)
return self.out_proj(complete_attn_output)
该实现的关键设计是头级并行：每个设备仅存储部分 Q/K/V 投影权重，计算部分注意力头，避免了全量 Attention 计算的内存开销。
4. 完整并行 Transformer#
完整的 Transformer 块包含“多头注意力层+MLP 层”，并配合残差连接和层归一化。在 TP 中，层归一化需在所有设备上独立同步执行。
class ParallelTransformerBlock(nn.Module):
"""并行 Transformer 块"""
def __init__(self, hidden_size, num_heads, ffn_size, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
self.attn = ParallelAttention(hidden_size, num_heads, world_size, rank)
self.mlp = ParallelMLP(hidden_size, ffn_size, world_size, rank)
self.norm1 = nn.LayerNorm(hidden_size)
self.norm2 = nn.LayerNorm(hidden_size)
def forward(self, x, mask=None):
x = x + self.attn(self.norm1(x), mask)
return x + self.mlp(self.norm2(x))
5. Embedding 层并行#
在大型语言模型中，词汇表规模常达数万至数十万，导致嵌入层占用大量内存。Embedding Parallel 通过词汇表分片解决这一问题：每个设备仅保存部分词嵌入，通过掩码和 All-Gather 聚合完整结果。
class ParallelEmbedding(nn.Module):
"""并行 Embedding 层"""
def __init__(self, vocab_size, embed_dim, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
self.vocab_size = vocab_size
self.embed_dim = embed_dim
self.world_size = world_size
self.rank = rank
part_size = vocab_size // world_size
remainder = vocab_size % world_size
self.start_idx = rank * part_size + min(rank, remainder)
self.end_idx = self.start_idx + part_size + (1 if rank < remainder else 0)
self.local_vocab_size = self.end_idx - self.start_idx
self.embedding = nn.Embedding(self.local_vocab_size, embed_dim)
def forward(self, input):
local_input = input.clone() - self.start_idx
mask = (input >= self.start_idx) & (input < self.end_idx)
local_input[~mask] = 0
local_emb = self.embedding(local_input)
local_emb[~mask] = 0
# 使用AllReduce包装
return AllReduce.apply(local_emb)
6. 完整 Transformer 并行#
将上述并行组件（ EP 嵌入、Transformer 并行、并行输出层）组合，形成完整的 TP。输出层采用列并行，确保与 EP 的分割策略一致。
class ParallelTransformer(nn.Module):
"""完整的并行 Transformer 模型"""
def __init__(self, vocab_size, hidden_size, num_layers, num_heads, ffn_size, world_size, rank):
super().__init__()
self.embedding = ParallelEmbedding(vocab_size, hidden_size, world_size, rank)
self.pos_embed = nn.Parameter(torch.randn(1, 1024, hidden_size))
self.layers = nn.ModuleList([
ParallelTransformerBlock(hidden_size, num_heads, ffn_size, world_size, rank)
for _ in range(num_layers)
])
self.norm = nn.LayerNorm(hidden_size)
self.head = ColumnLinear(hidden_size, vocab_size, world_size, rank)
def forward(self, input_ids):
x = self.embedding(input_ids) + self.pos_embed[:, :input_ids.size(1)]
for layer in self.layers:
x = layer(x)
local_logits = self.head(self.norm(x))
return AllGather.apply(local_logits)

这里我们先运行一个jupyter的命令，提取jupyter文件中的Python代码块到一个新的python文件当中:
jupyter nbconvert --to python Code02Megatron.ipynb
由于jupyter文件不适合运行多线程，也就不适合进行分布式训练，这里提供torchrun脚本进行分布式训练。
以下是运行训练的bash脚本：

总结与思考#
本实验通过可执行的代码深入探讨了 Megatron 风格的 TP 原理与实现，并验证了 TP 在内存节省上的有效性。
核心技术点：
列并行线性层：将权重矩阵按列分割，前向传播需要 All-Gather 操作
行并行线性层：将权重矩阵按行分割，前向传播使用 AllReduce 聚合（已优化autograd）
并行 Attention：将注意力头分布到多个设备，每个设备处理部分头
并行 Embedding：将大型词汇表分割到多个设备，减少单个设备的内存压力
