Compilation failed for flash-attn kernels

candle

Candle is a minimalist ML framework for Rust with a focus on performance (including GPU support) and ease of use. Try our online demos: whisper, LLaMA2, T5, yolo, Segment Anything.

Get started

Make sure that you have candle-core correctly installed as described in Installation.

Let's see how to run a simple matrix multiplication. Write the following to your myapp/src/main.rs file:

use candle_core::{Device, Tensor};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let device = Device::Cpu;

    let a = Tensor::randn(0f32, 1., (2, 3), &device)?;
    let b = Tensor::randn(0f32, 1., (3, 4), &device)?;

    let c = a.matmul(&b)?;
    println!("{c}");
    Ok(())
}

cargo run should display a tensor of shape Tensor[[2, 4], f32].

Having installed candle with Cuda support, simply define the device to be on GPU:

- let device = Device::Cpu;
+ let device = Device::new_cuda(0)?;

For more advanced examples, please have a look at the following section.

There are also some wasm examples for whisper and llama2.c. You can either build them with trunk or try them online: whisper, llama2, T5, Phi-1.5, and Phi-2, Segment Anything Model.

For LLaMA2, run the following command to retrieve the weight files and start a test server:

cd candle-wasm-examples/llama2-c
wget https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmz/candle-llama2/resolve/main/model.bin
wget https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmz/candle-llama2/resolve/main/tokenizer.json
trunk serve --release --port 8081

FAQ

Why should I use Candle?

Candle's core goal is to make serverless inference possible. Full machine learning frameworks like PyTorch are very large, which makes creating instances on a cluster slow. Candle allows deployment of lightweight binaries.

Secondly, Candle lets you remove Python from production workloads. Python overhead can seriously hurt performance, and the GIL is a notorious source of headaches.

Finally, Rust is cool! A lot of the HF ecosystem already has Rust crates, like safetensors and tokenizers.

Other ML frameworks

dfdx is a formidable crate, with shapes being included in types. This prevents a lot of headaches by getting the compiler to complain about shape mismatches right off the bat. However, we found that some features still require nightly, and writing code can be a bit daunting for non rust experts.

We're leveraging and contributing to other core crates for the runtime so hopefully both crates can benefit from each other.
burn is a general crate that can leverage multiple backends so you can choose the best engine for your workload.
tch-rs Bindings to the torch library in Rust. Extremely versatile, but they bring in the entire torch library into the runtime. The main contributor of tch-rs is also involved in the development of candle.

Common Errors

Missing symbols when compiling with the mkl feature.

If you get some missing symbols when compiling binaries/tests using the mkl or accelerate features, e.g. for mkl you get:

  = note: /usr/bin/ld: (....o): in function `blas::sgemm':
          .../blas-0.22.0/src/lib.rs:1944: undefined reference to `sgemm_' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  = note: some `extern` functions couldn't be found; some native libraries may need to be installed or have their path specified
  = note: use the `-l` flag to specify native libraries to link
  = note: use the `cargo:rustc-link-lib` directive to specify the native libraries to link with Cargo

or for accelerate:

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
            "_dgemm_", referenced from:
                candle_core::accelerate::dgemm::h1b71a038552bcabe in libcandle_core...
            "_sgemm_", referenced from:
                candle_core::accelerate::sgemm::h2cf21c592cba3c47 in libcandle_core...
          ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

This is likely due to a missing linker flag that was needed to enable the mkl library. You can try adding the following for mkl at the top of your binary:

extern crate intel_mkl_src;

or for accelerate:

extern crate accelerate_src;

Cannot run the LLaMA examples: access to source requires login credentials

Error: request error: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf/resolve/main/tokenizer.json: status code 401

This is likely because you're not permissioned for the LLaMA-v2 model. To fix this, you have to register on the huggingface-hub, accept the LLaMA-v2 model conditions, and set up your authentication token. See issue #350 for more details.

Missing cute/cutlass headers when compiling flash-attn

  In file included from kernels/flash_fwd_launch_template.h:11:0,
                   from kernels/flash_fwd_hdim224_fp16_sm80.cu:5:

   #include <cute/algorithm/copy.hpp>
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.
  Error: nvcc error while compiling:

cutlass is provided as a git submodule so you may want to run the following command to check it in properly.

git submodule update --init

Compiling with flash-attention fails

/usr/include/c++/11/bits/std_function.h:530:146: error: parameter packs not expanded with ‘...’:

This is a bug in gcc-11 triggered by the Cuda compiler. To fix this, install a different, supported gcc version - for example gcc-10, and specify the path to the compiler in the NVCC_CCBIN environment variable.

env NVCC_CCBIN=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10 cargo ...

Linking error on windows when running rustdoc or mdbook tests

Couldn't compile the test.
---- .\candle-book\src\inference\hub.md - Using_the_hub::Using_in_a_real_model_ (line 50) stdout ----
error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1181
//very long chain of linking
 = note: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'windows.0.48.5.lib'

Make sure you link all native libraries that might be located outside a project target, e.g., to run mdbook tests, you should run:

mdbook test candle-book -L .\target\debug\deps\ `
-L native=$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo\registry\src\index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f\windows_x86_64_msvc-0.42.2\lib `
-L native=$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo\registry\src\index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f\windows_x86_64_msvc-0.48.5\lib

Extremely slow model load time with WSL

This may be caused by the models being loaded from /mnt/c, more details on stackoverflow.

Tracking down errors

You can set RUST_BACKTRACE=1 to be provided with backtraces when a candle error is generated.

CudaRC error

If you encounter an error like this one called Result::unwrap()on anErr value: LoadLibraryExW { source: Os { code: 126, kind: Uncategorized, message: "The specified module could not be found." } } on windows. To fix copy and rename these 3 files (make sure they are in path). The paths depend on your cuda version. c:\Windows\System32\nvcuda.dll -> cuda.dll c:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.4\bin\cublas64_12.dll -> cublas.dll c:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.4\bin\curand64_10.dll -> curand.dll
