Installation instructions can be found in INSTALL.md.
The scripts directory contains all the bash commands to replicate the main results (Table 2) in our paper.
Below is an example command for pruning LLaMA-7B with Wanda, to achieve unstructured 50% sparsity.
python main.py \
--model decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf \
--prune_method wanda \
--sparsity_ratio 0.5 \
--sparsity_type unstructured \
--save out/llama_7b/unstructured/wanda/ We provide a quick overview of the arguments:
-
--model: The identifier for the LLaMA model on the Hugging Face model hub. -
--cache_dir: Directory for loading or storing LLM weights. The default isllm_weights. -
--prune_method: We have implemented three pruning methods, namely [magnitude,wanda,sparsegpt]. -
--sparsity_ratio: Denotes the percentage of weights to be pruned. -
--sparsity_type: Specifies the type of sparsity [unstructured,2:4,4:8]. -
--use_variant: Whether to use the Wanda variant, default isFalse. -
--save: Specifies the directory where the result will be stored.
For structured N:M sparsity, set the argument --sparsity_type to "2:4" or "4:8". An illustrative command is provided below:
python main.py \
--model decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf \
--prune_method wanda \
--sparsity_ratio 0.5 \
--sparsity_type 2:4 \
--save out/llama_7b/2-4/wanda/ For LLaMA-2 models, replace --model with meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf (take 7b as an example):
python main.py \
--model meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
--prune_method wanda \
--sparsity_ratio 0.5 \
--sparsity_type unstructured \
--save out/llama2_7b/unstructured/wanda/LLaMA-2 results: (LLaMA-2-34b is not released as of 9.22.2023)

done Here ablate_{mag/wanda}_{seq/iter} means that we use magnitude pruning or wanda to obtain the pruned mask at each layer, then apply weight update procedure with either a sequential style or an iterative style every 128 input channels. For details, please see Section 5 of our paper.
For evaluating zero-shot tasks, we modify the EleutherAI LM Harness framework so that it could evaluate pruned LLM models. We provide the modified repo in this link. Make sure to download, extract and install this custom lm_eval package from the source code.
For reproducibility, we used commit df3da98 on the main branch. All tasks were evaluated on task version of 0 except for BoolQ, where the task version is 1.
On a high level, the functionality we provide is adding two arguments pretrained_model and tokenizer in this function. We can then call this simple_evaluate function API from our codebase to evaluate sparse pruned LLMs. To evaluate zero-shot tasks in addition to the WikiText perplexity, pass the --eval_zero_shot argument.
The pruning speed for each method is evaluated by the cumulated time spent on pruning (for each layer), without the forward passes.
For inference speedup with structured sparsity, we refer the reader to this blog post, where structured sparsity is supported by PyTorch >= 2.1. You can switch between the CUTLASS or CuSPARSELt kernel here.
Last, for pruning image classifiers, see directory image_classifiers for details.
