Run an Experiment on Hybrid Mode

Run NNI on hybrid mode means that NNI will run trials jobs in multiple kinds of training platforms. For example, NNI could submit trial jobs to remote machine and AML simultaneously.

Setup environment

NNI has supported local, remote, PAI, and AML for hybrid training service. Before starting an experiment using these mode, users should setup the corresponding environment for the platforms. More details about the environment setup could be found in the corresponding docs.

Run an experiment

Use examples/trials/mnist-tfv1 as an example. The NNI config YAML file's content is like:

authorName: default
experimentName: example_mnist
trialConcurrency: 2
maxExecDuration: 1h
maxTrialNum: 10
trainingServicePlatform: hybrid
searchSpacePath: search_space.json
#choice: true, false
useAnnotation: false
tuner:
  builtinTunerName: TPE
  classArgs:
    #choice: maximize, minimize
    optimize_mode: maximize
trial:
  command: python3 mnist.py
  codeDir: .
  gpuNum: 1
hybridConfig:
  trainingServicePlatforms:
    - local
    - remote
remoteConfig:
  reuse: true
machineList:
  - ip: 10.1.1.1
    username: bob
    passwd: bob123

Configurations for hybrid mode:

hybridConfig:

  • trainingServicePlatforms. required key. This field specify the platforms used in hybrid mode, the values using yaml list format. NNI support setting local, remote, aml, pai in this field.

Note

If setting a platform in trainingServicePlatforms mode, users should also set the corresponding configuration for the platform. For example, if set remote as one of the platform, should also set machineList and remoteConfig configuration. Local platform in hybrid mode does not support windows for now.
