<p>We provide some simple scripts <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle/scripts/cluster_train</span></code> to help you to launch cluster training Job to harness PaddlePaddle&#8217;s distributed trainning. For MPI and other cluster scheduler refer this naive script to implement more robust cluster training platform by yourself.</p>
<p>The following cluster demo is based on RECOMMENDATION local training demo in PaddlePaddle <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">demo/recommendation</span></code> directory.  Assuming you enter the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle/scripts/cluster_train/</span></code> directory.</p>

<p>Secondly, go through installing scripts to install PaddlePaddle at all nodes to make sure demo can run as local mode. For CUDA enabled training, we assume that CUDA is installed in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/usr/local/cuda</span></code>, otherwise missed cuda runtime libraries error could be reported at cluster runtime. In one word, the local training environment should be well prepared for the simple scripts.</p>
<p>Then you should prepare same ROOT_DIR directory in all nodes. ROOT_DIR is from in cluster_train/conf.py. Assuming that the ROOT_DIR = /home/paddle, you can create <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle</span></code> user account as well, at last <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle.py</span></code> can ssh connections to all nodes with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle</span></code> user automatically.</p>

<p>At last you can create ssh mutual trust relationship between all nodes for easy ssh login, otherwise <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">password</span></code> should be provided at runtime from <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle.py</span></code>.</p>

<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Job</span> <span class="pre">workspace</span></code> is defined as one package directory which contains dependency libraries, train data, test data, model config file and all other related file dependencies.</p>
<p>These <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">train/test</span></code> data should be prepared before launching cluster job. To  satisfy the requirement that train/test data are placed in different directory from workspace, PADDLE refers train/test data according to index file named as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">train.list/test.list</span></code> which are used in model config file. So the train/test data also contains train.list/test.list two list file. All local training demo already provides scripts to help you create these two files,  and all nodes in cluster job will handle files with same logical code in normal condition.</p>
<p>Generally, you can use same model file from local training for cluster training. What you should have in mind that, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">batch_size</span></code> set in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setting</span></code> function in model file means batch size in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">each</span></code> node of cluster job instead of total batch size if synchronization SGD was used.</p>
<p>Following steps are based on demo/recommendation demo in demo directory.</p>

<p>You just go through demo/recommendation tutorial doc until <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Train</span></code> section, and at last you will get train/test data and model configuration file. Finaly, just use demo/recommendation as workspace for cluster training.</p>
