Code to reproduce ImageNet in 18 minutes, by Andrew Shaw, Yaroslav Bulatov, and Jeremy Howard.
Pre-requisites: Python 3.6 or higher
pip install -r requirements.txt
aws configure (or set your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY/AWS_DEFAULT_REGION)
python train.py # pre-warming
python train.py
To run with smaller number of machines:
python train.py --machines=1
python train.py --machines=4
python train.py --machines=8
python train.py --machines=16
Machines print progress to local stdout as well as logging TensorBoard event files to EFS. You can:
- launch tensorboard using tools/launch_tensorboard.py
That will provide a link to tensorboard instance which has loss graph under "losses" group. You'll see something like this under "Losses" tab
- Connect to one of the instances using instructions printed during launch. Look for something like this
