JAX Toolbox

Components Container Build Test
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:base
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:jax


ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:levanter
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:equinox
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:triton
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:upstream-t5x
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:t5x
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:upstream-pax
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:pax
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:maxtext
ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:gemma

In all of the above cases, ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:XXX points to the most recent nightly build of the container for XXX. These containers are also tagged as ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:XXX-YYYY-MM-DD, if a stable reference is required.

Note

This repo currently hosts a public CI for JAX on NVIDIA GPUs and covers some JAX libraries like: T5x, PAXML, Transformer Engine, Pallas and others to come soon.

Frameworks and Supported Models

We currently support the following frameworks and models. More details about each model and the available containers can be found in their respective READMEs.

Framework Supported Models Use-cases Container
Paxml GPT, LLaMA, MoE pretraining, fine-tuning, LoRA ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:pax
T5X T5, ViT pre-training, fine-tuning ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:t5x
T5X Imagen pre-training ghcr.io/nvidia/t5x:imagen-2023-10-02.v3
Big Vision PaliGemma fine-tuning, evaluation ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:gemma
levanter GPT, LLaMA, MPT, Backpacks pretraining, fine-tuning ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:levanter
maxtext LLaMA, Gemma pretraining ghcr.io/nvidia/jax:maxtext

We will update this table as new models become available, so stay tuned.

Environment Variables

The JAX image is embedded with the following flags and environment variables for performance tuning:

XLA Flags Value Explanation
--xla_gpu_enable_latency_hiding_scheduler true allows XLA to move communication collectives to increase overlap with compute kernels
--xla_gpu_enable_triton_gemm false use cuBLAS instead of Trition GeMM kernels
Environment Variable Value Explanation
CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS 1 use a single queue for GPU work to lower latency of stream operations; OK since XLA already orders launches
NCCL_NVLS_ENABLE 0 Disables NVLink SHARP (1). Future releases will re-enable this feature.

There are various other XLA flags users can set to improve performance. For a detailed explanation of these flags, please refer to the GPU performance doc. XLA flags can be tuned per workflow. For example, each script in contrib/gpu/scripts_gpu sets its own XLA flags.

Profiling JAX programs on GPU

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

`bus error` when running JAX in a docker container

Solution:

docker run -it --shm-size=1g ...

Explanation: The bus error might occur due to the size limitation of /dev/shm. You can address this by increasing the shared memory size using the --shm-size option when launching your container.

enroot/pyxis reports error code 404 when importing multi-arch images

Problem description:

slurmstepd: error: pyxis:     [INFO] Authentication succeeded
slurmstepd: error: pyxis:     [INFO] Fetching image manifest list
slurmstepd: error: pyxis:     [INFO] Fetching image manifest
slurmstepd: error: pyxis:     [ERROR] URL https://ghcr.io/v2/nvidia/jax/manifests/<TAG> returned error code: 404 Not Found

Solution: Upgrade enroot or apply a single-file patch as mentioned in the enroot v3.4.0 release note.

Explanation: Docker has traditionally used Docker Schema V2.2 for multi-arch manifest lists but has switched to using the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format since 20.10. Enroot added support for OCI format in version 3.4.0.
