Fix and Update Tutorial Documentation: Enhancing User Experience and Accuracy

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, it's essential to ensure that documentation remains up-to-date and accurate. This is particularly crucial for tutorial documentation, which serves as a foundation for users to learn and understand complex concepts. In this article, we'll discuss the proposed fixes for the Tutorial page, highlighting the necessary updates to ensure a seamless user experience.

Proposed Fixes for Tutorial Page

The tutorial page has several outdated commands that need to be updated to reflect the current best practices. Here are the proposed fixes:

Update salloc Command in 1.2

The salloc command in section 1.2 needs to be updated to --partition=develbooster to work on juwels. This change will enable users to access the necessary resources and complete the tutorial successfully.

salloc --partition=develbooster

Update deepspeed Command in 1.2

In section 1.2, the deepspeed command should be replaced with torchrun and the -s deepspeed flag. This change will ensure that users can run the deepspeed command correctly and complete the tutorial.

torchrun -s deepspeed

Update horovod Command in 1.2

The horovodrun command in section 1.2 needs to be updated to use srun with the --cpu-bind=none --ntasks=4 --ntasks-per-node=4 --cpus-per-task=1 flags. This change will enable users to run the horovod command correctly and complete the tutorial.

srun --cpu-bind=none --ntasks=4 --ntasks-per-node=4 --cpus-per-task=1 python -u train.py -s horovod

Add --partition=develbooster Flag to sbatch Commands in 2.2

In section 2.2, the sbatch commands need to be updated to include the --partition=develbooster flag. This change will ensure that users can access the necessary resources and complete the tutorial successfully.

sbatch --partition=develbooster

Other Updates

In addition to the proposed fixes, there are a few other updates that need to be made to the tutorial documentation:

Small Typo in 4.1.7.2

There is a small typo in section 4.1.7.2, where "itwinia" should be replaced with the correct term.

NOTE Tags and Rendering

The NOTE tags and other tags are not being rendered correctly in the Sphinx documentation. This issue can be resolved by either creating .rst files instead of .md files or by finding a plugin to render these tags from .md files.
