Backend implementation for running MLFlow projects on Slurm

Project description

MLFlow-Slurm

Backend for executing MLFlow projects on Slurm batch system

Usage

Install this package in the environment from which you will be submitting jobs. If you are submitting jobs from inside jobs, make sure you have this package listed in your conda or pip environment.

Just list this as your --backend in the job run. You should include a json config file to control how the batch script is constructed:

mlflow run --backend slurm \
          --backend-config slurm_config.json \
          examples/sklearn_elasticnet_wine

It will generate a batch script named after the job id and submit it via the Slurm sbatch command. It will tag the run with the Slurm JobID

Configure Jobs

You can set values in a json file to control job submission. The supported properties in this file are:

Config File Setting Use
partition Which Slurm partition should the job run in?
account What account name to run under
gpus_per_node On GPU partitions how many GPUs to allocate per node
gres SLURM Generic RESources requests
mem Amount of memory to allocate to CPU jobs
modules List of modules to load before starting job
time Max CPU time job may run
sbatch-script-file Name of batch file to be produced. Leave blank to have service generate a script file name based on the run ID

Development

The slurm docker deployment is handy for testing and development. You can start up a slurm environment with the included docker-compose file
