Question Answering, Math, and Code Generation using Mixtral-8x7B

MLPerf Reference Implementation in Python

Tip

  • MLCommons reference implementations are only meant to provide a rules compliant reference implementation for the submitters and in most cases are not best performing. If you want to benchmark any system, it is advisable to use the vendor MLPerf implementation for that system like Nvidia, Intel etc.

MIXTRAL-8X7B

Datacenter category

In the datacenter category, mixtral-8x7b has Offline, Server scenarios and all the scenarios are mandatory for a closed division submission.

# Docker Container Build and Performance Estimation for Offline Scenario

Tip

  • Batch size could be adjusted using --batch_size=#, where # is the desired batch size. This option works only if the implementation in use is supporting the given batch size.

cm run script --tags=run-mlperf,inference,_find-performance,_full,_r4.1-dev \
   --model=mixtral-8x7b \
   --implementation=reference \
   --framework=pytorch \
   --category=datacenter \
   --scenario=Offline \
   --execution_mode=test \
   --device=cpu  \
   --docker --quiet \
   --test_query_count=10
The above command should get you to an interactive shell inside the docker container and do a quick test run for the Offline scenario. Once inside the docker container please do the below commands to do the accuracy + performance runs for each scenario.

Please click here to see more options for the docker launch

  • --docker_cm_repo=<Custom CM GitHub repo URL in username@repo format>: to use a custom fork of cm4mlops repository inside the docker image

  • --docker_cm_repo_branch=<Custom CM GitHub repo Branch>: to checkout a custom branch of the cloned cm4mlops repository inside the docker image

  • --docker_cache=no: to not use docker cache during the image build

  • --docker_os=ubuntu: ubuntu and rhel are supported.
  • --docker_os_version=20.04: [20.04, 22.04] are supported for Ubuntu and [8, 9] for RHEL

   --scenario=Server\
   --server_target_qps=<SERVER_TARGET_QPS> \
   --execution_mode=valid \
   --device=cpu \
   --quiet 

Tip

  • <SERVER_TARGET_QPS> must be determined manually. It is usually around 80% of the Offline QPS, but on some systems, it can drop below 50%. If a higher value is specified, the latency constraint will not be met, and the run will be considered invalid.

  • Use --division=closed to do a closed division submission which includes compliance runs

  • Use --rerun to do a rerun even when a valid run exists

Native Environment
