# quantization

    model,                                              # the model to quantize
    b_candidates    = list(range(1,9)),                 # allowed bit-width
    calibrate_data  = zeroshot_calibration(tokenizer),  # use zero-shot calibration
    avg_bits        = 3.3,                              # average number of bits
)["model"]

A Complete Example

Too run example quantization for llama2 on wikitext2 (and reproduce the result reported in the paper):

pip install raana
git clone https://github.com/FFTYYY/RaanA
cd RaanA/examples
python wikitext2.py --model=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf --avgbits=3.3

See examples/wikitext2.py for a complete example usage.

)

Required Arguments

model: torch.nn.Module

• The pytorch model to be quantized.

b_candidates: list[float]

• Candidate number of bits allowed for each layer.
• Can optionally float numbers in 0~1. If so, less-than-one-bit quantization will be enabled.
• Example: [0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4].

calibrate_data: raana.task_adaptor.TaskAdaptor

• The calibration data used for quantization.
• For language modeling tasks, can use raana.task_adaptor.LMAdaptor( data: list[str], tokenizer: PreTrainedTokenizer)
• For zero-shot calibration in language modeling, use raana.zeroshot_calibration(tokenizer).
• For non-language modeling tasks, can write your own TaskAdaptor class.

avg_bits: float

• Target average number of bits per quantized linear layer. The quantizer will search for the optimal bit allocation under this constraint.

Optional Arguments

linear_selector: Callable[[torch.nn.Module], bool]

• A function to choose which sub-modules to quantize.
• There are different types of linear modules in different model implementations (e.g. some models use nn.Linear while others use nn.Conv1d), so we allow the user to use this function to specify which linear modules are to quantize.
• Default: selcte all torch.nn.Linear layers.

rotation_maker: Callable[[], raana.rotations.RandomRotation]

• A function to construct a random rotation.
• This parameter leaves flexibility for users to specify their own random rotation implementation.
• The default implementation is randomized Hadamard Transformation, as described in the paper.
• The Hadamard Transformation used in the default parameter is simply a matrix multiplication with the Hadamard matrix generated by scipy.linear.hadamard. In order to minimize the dependency of raana, we don't use any GPU fast Hadamard kernels in the default implementation. The users are encouraged to install fast Hadamdard kernels themselves and pass them to the quantizer through this parameter.
• We encourage users to install the fast Hadamard implementation from DAO-AILab and pass it to raana:

  from torch import Tensor
  from fast_hadamard_transform import hadamard_transform
  from raana.rotations import PiecewiseHadamard
  
  def hadamard(X: Tensor):
      # normalize it by sqrt(d) to make it an orthornormal operator.
      return hadamard_transform(X) / (X.size(-1) ** 0.5) 
  
  quantize(
      ..., 
      rotation_maker = lambda: PiecewiseHadamard( hadamard = hadamard )
  )
  

• Default: randomized Hadamard transformation. Uses scipy.linalg.hadamard as the implementation of Hadamard Transformation.

trick_makers: list[Callable[[], raana.tricks.Trick]]

• List of functions to construct tricks. See the paper for the definition of "trick" here.
• Currently implemented four tricks: trick_centralize, trick_pca, trick_norm_row, trick_norm_col.
• Default: [trick_centralize, trick_norm_col].

weightbias_extractor: Callable[[nn.Module], tuple[Tensor, Tensor | None]]

• A function to extract weight and bias matrices from a linear module and transform them into the standard size.
• The returned value of this function should be extracted weight and bias of the provided layer. weight should be a tensor of size (d_in, d_out), and bias should be None or a tensor of size (d_out, ).
• Default: lambda layer: (layer.weight.t().data, layer.bias.data)

matmul: Callable[[Tensor, Tensor, Tensor, int], Tensor]

• A function to perform low-precision matrix multiplication.
• Since there are no official implementation for low-precision uint-float matrix multiplication implemnetation and we want to minimize the dependency of raana, we leave the implementation of matrix multiplication to users.
• The input parameters are X, qW, rescale, B. X is a float tensor, qW is a B-bit uint tensor and rescale is a float rescale tensor. This return value of this function should be equal to (X@qW - ((2**B-1)/2.*X.sum(dim=-1)).view(-1,1)) * rescale.view(1,-1).
• Default: transform everything to float32 and do standard matrix multiplication. Below is the default implementation.

  def default_matmul(X: tc.Tensor, qW: tc.Tensor, rescale: tc.Tensor, B: int):
      dtype = X.dtype
      X       = X.to(tc.float32)
      rescale = rescale.to(tc.float32).view(1, -1)
      q_bias  = (float(2 ** B - 1) / 2. * X.sum(dim = -1)).view(-1, 1)
      Z = (X @ qW.to(tc.float32)) * rescale
      Z = Z - q_bias * rescale
      return Z.to(dtype)
  

Returns

{
    "model" : torch.nn.Module,  # quantized model
    "bits"  : list[int],        # allocated bitwidth per layer
    "losses": list[float]       # calibration loss per calibration data
