Note: For multi-GPU training, you need to specify the proper hyperparameters for distributed training based on your machine. Besides, we advise you to specify your maximum sequence length with the argument `--model_max_length`, based on your consideration of data, memory footprint, and training speed.
### Profiling of Memory and Speed
We profile the GPU memory and training speed of both LoRA and Q-LoRA in the setup of single-GPU training. In this test, we experiment on a single A100-SXM4-80G GPU, and we use CUDA 11.8 and Pytorch 2.0. We uniformly use a batch size of 1 and gradient accumulation of 8. We profile the memory (GB) and speed (s/iter) of inputs of different lengths, namely 256, 512, 1024, and 2048. The statistics are listed below:
