Run gpt-2b + LoRA using GptManager / cpp runtime

First build a model with LoRA and inflight-batching enabled.

To pass LoRAs into the cpp runtime they must be converted to the format below. The script below will convert a Hugging Face LoRA model to the correct NumPy tensor.

python3 tensorrt_llm/examples/hf_lora_convert.py -i Japanese-Alpaca-LoRA-7b-v0 -o Japanese-Alpaca-LoRA-7b-v0-weights --storage-type float16
python3 tensorrt_llm/examples/hf_lora_convert.py -i luotuo-lora-7b-0.1 -o luotuo-lora-7b-0.1-weights --storage-type float16

Refer to the tensorrtllm_backend documentation for a Multi-LoRA example using Triton.

LoRA tensor format details

To run inference with LoraWeights using GptManager, InferenceRequests must have LoraWeights (lora_weights) and LoraConfig (lora_config) parameters.

LoraTaskId the unique task ID for the given LoRA.

To perform inference with a specific LoRA for the first time, lora_task_id, lora_weights, and lora_config must all be given. The LoRA will be cached, so that subsequent requests for the same task only require lora_task_id. If the cache is full, the oldest LoRA will be evicted to make space for new ones. An error is returned if lora_task_id is not cached.

LoraWeights contains the weights for all the LoRAs. Currently, this should include weights for all TP and PP ranks. The weights tensor has the shape [num_lora_modules_layers, D x Hi + Ho x D ]. The last dimension holds the in / out adapter weights for the associated module (for example, attn_qkv) and model layer.

Each of the in / out tensors are first flattened and then concatenated together in the format above. The first dimension (of size num_lora_module_layers) has an entry for each module-layer (that is, there is an entry for attn_q layer1 and another for attn_k layer1).

D=adapter_size (i.e. R value), Hi=hidden_size_in, Ho=hidden_size_out.

LoraConfig is a configuration tensor which identifies the moduleId, layerId, and adapter size of each element of LoraWeights. It has the shape [num_lora_modules_layers, 3]. The last dimension holds [module_id, layer_idx, adapter_size D (i.e. R value)].

This feature supports LoRAs as described in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09685.pdf

Example LoRA tensors

Here is an example of LoraWeights and LoraConfig tensors for a model with tp=1, pp=1, 4 layers, and a hidden size of 4. The following tensors are for a LoRA which has a q and k adapter.

# loraConfig
[
  [1, 0, 2]
  [2, 0, 4]
  [1, 1, 2]
  [2, 1, 4]
  [1, 2, 2]  # Note that the final 2 layers only adapt `q`
  [1, 3, 8]
]
# Note: The loraConfig tensor configures the loraWeights tensor.
#       The contents of each row of loraWeights is specified be the corresponding row in loraConfig

# loraWeights
# Note: that 'in weights' and 'out weights' are 'A' and 'B' in the LoRA paper.
[
  [ <2 x 4 in weights>, <4 x 2 out weights> <padding> ]  # `q` adapter for layer 0
  [ <4 x 4 in weights>, <4 x 4 out weights> <padding> ]  # `k` adapter for layer 0
  [ <2 x 4 in weights>, <4 x 2 out weights> <padding> ]  # `q` adapter for layer 1
  [ <4 x 4 in weights>, <4 x 4 out weights> <padding> ]  # `k` adapter for layer 1
  [ <2 x 4 in weights>, <4 x 2 out weights> <padding> ]  # `q` adapter for layer 2
  [ <8 x 4 in weights>, <4 x 8 out weights>           ]  # `q` adapter for layer 3. Note the final layer has a adapter size of 8

LoraCache configuration

The core idea is that we will have a fixed size, 2-level LoRA cache in TRT-LLM. The higher level cache resides on the host and the lower level is on GPU (distinct from the existing KV cache). Sizes of both are user configurable.

The CPU cache is configured to be a max size. The GPU cache is configured to a percentage of free GPU memory after engine load. As requests come in LoRAs are stored in the host cache.

As requests are scheduled for execution LoRAs are loaded into the GPU cache. Refer to the The Batch Manager in TensorRT-LLM section for more information.
