HSViT: Horizontally Scalable Vision Transformer

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Python 3.10 with pip

Install dependencies:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Model Training

Train HSViT

Train on CIFAR-10:

$ python3 main.py fit --config=config/hsvit_cifar10.yaml

Test on CIFAR-10:

$ python3 main.py test --config=config/hsvit_cifar10.yaml --ckpt_path="lightning_logs/version_0/checkpoints/epoch=0-step=38035.ckpt"

Train SOTA

Train ResNet18 on CIFAR-10:

$ python3 main.py fit --config=config/sota_cifar10.yaml --model.init_args.sota_config_path="./config/huggingface/resnet-18.json"

View Logs

Start a TensorBoard service based on directory of lightning_logs:

$ pip3 install tensorboard
$ tensorboard --logdir=lightning_logs/

Then go to http://localhost:6006 on your web browser for viewing the training logs.

Increase the ulimit:

import resource
rlimit = resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE)
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE, (2048, rlimit[1]))
