<span id="design-doc-the-client-library-of-parameter-server"></span><h1>Design Doc: The Client Library of Parameter Server<a class="headerlink" href="#design-doc-the-client-library-of-parameter-server" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h1>
<p>For an overview of trainer&#8217;s role, please refer to <a class="reference internal" href="README.html"><span class="doc">distributed training design doc</span></a>. In this design doc, we will discuss the parameter server&#8217;s client library, which will manage communication with parameter servers. The library will be implemented in <a class="reference external" href="https://golang.org/">Go</a> and made available as a static or dynamic library with a C header file.</p>
<div class="section" id="parameter-partition">
<span id="parameter-partition"></span><h2>Parameter Partition<a class="headerlink" href="#parameter-partition" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>Each parameter will be partitioned into parameter blocks to make the parameters evenly distributed on parameter servers. The partition is done automatically by the client library. The <em>sparse parameter</em> require a little different treatment:</p>
<div class="section" id="sparse-parameter">
<span id="sparse-parameter"></span><h3>Sparse Parameter<a class="headerlink" href="#sparse-parameter" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h3>
<p>The sparse parameter is a parameter that is updated sparsely. The name is somewhat misleading, it does not have a sparse representation, it has the same representation as a dense vector.</p>
<p>Because a sparse parameter is updated sparsely, the trainer will have to partition the sparse parameter. Because the parameter server will merge all sparse parameter shard into the same file when saving the parameter. It needs special naming convention:</p>
<p>If a sparse parameter is partitioned into n shards, they should be named as:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>name:sparse-0
name:sparse-1
...
name:sparse-n-1
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The library is unaware of the partition, and treat each parameter independently. Only when saving parameters, the parameter servers will merge the sparse parameters according to the naming convention.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="model-optimization-using-gradients">
<span id="model-optimization-using-gradients"></span><h2>Model Optimization Using Gradients<a class="headerlink" href="#model-optimization-using-gradients" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>There are two ways to perform model optimization using gradients:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">On Client</p>
<p>The client does multiple steps of forward and backward update. In each step, the gradients are calculated and a new model is generated. After some steps, the client will calculate the difference between the newest model and the old model at step 0. The difference will be updated to parameter servers. Parameter servers will just update parameters using the difference without any optimization using gradients (such as Adam and L1 regularization).</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">On Parameter Server</p>
<p>The client will send accumulated gradients to parameter servers, the parameter server will do the optimization using gradients.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="l1-and-l2-regularization">
<span id="l1-and-l2-regularization"></span><h2>L1 and L2 Regularization<a class="headerlink" href="#l1-and-l2-regularization" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>PaddlePaddle allows L1 or L2 regularizations to be specified per parameter, so when the trainer initializes the parameter it needs include a parameter configuration when L1 or L2 regularization is necessary.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="parameter-initialization">
<span id="parameter-initialization"></span><h2>Parameter Initialization<a class="headerlink" href="#parameter-initialization" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>The parameters on parameter servers need to be initialized. To provide maximum flexibility, the trainer will initialize the parameters. Only one trainer will do the initialization, the other trainers will wait for the completion of initialization and get the parameters from the parameter servers.</p>
<div class="section" id="trainer-selection">
<span id="trainer-selection"></span><h3>Trainer Selection<a class="headerlink" href="#trainer-selection" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h3>
<p>To select the trainer for initialization, every trainer will try to get a distributed lock, whoever owns the lock will do the initialization. As illustrated below:</p>
<p><img src="./src/init_lock.png"></p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="trainer-selection-process">
<span id="trainer-selection-process"></span><h3>Trainer Selection Process<a class="headerlink" href="#trainer-selection-process" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h3>
<p>The trainer select process is encapsulated in the C API function:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kt">int</span> <span class="nf">paddle_begin_init_params</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">paddle_pserver_client</span><span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">client</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">const</span> <span class="kt">char</span><span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">config_proto</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
250
<p>The selected trainer&#8217;s call to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle_begin_init_params</span></code> will return with 1, and the other trainers&#8217; call to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle_begin_init_params</span></code> will return 0. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle_get_params</span></code> will be blocked until initialization is completed.
