Can't start LocalAI (with REBUILD) on Xeon X5570 - Unwanted AVX dependency?

[chris-hatton]

LocalAI version: Using Docker image: localai/localai:latest-aio-gpu-hipblas

Environment, CPU architecture, OS, and Version:

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Xeon X5570 Specs (No AVX at all)
• GPU Radeon 6700XT (gfx1031 but I've seen this to be gfx1030 compatible on a previous ROCm test)
• installed ROCm driver per AMD instructions (version 6.2.60200)

Describe the bug

• I can't get LocalAI to start up, using the following Docker Compose stack file (inspired by ROCm Acceleration instructions):

version: '3.9'
services:
  api:
    image: localai/localai:latest-aio-gpu-hipblas
    restart: no
    ports:
      - 8082:8080
    volumes:
      - /raid/AI/Models:/build/models:cached
    environment:
      - "DEBUG=true"
      - "REBUILD=true"
      - "CMAKE_ARGS=-DGGML_F16C=OFF -DGGML_AVX512=OFF -DGGML_AVX2=OFF -DGGML_AVX=OFF -DGGML_FMA=OFF -DLLAMA_F16C=OFF -DLLAMA_AVX512=OFF -DLLAMA_AVX2=OFF -DLLAMA_AVX=OFF -DLLAMA_FMA=OFF"
      - "BUILD_TYPE=hipblas"
      - "GPU_TARGETS=gfx1030"
      - "BUILD_PARALLELISM=16"
    - devices:
      - /dev/dri
      - /dev/kfd
networks:
  apollonet:
    external: true
    name: apollonet

To Reproduce

• Try to start the Docker container with the above configuration.
• The Docker container goes through a lengthy build process for several hours
• It looks like the rebuild completes(?) or gets a significant way through, then the Container quite with error code 132
• Exit 132 is SIGILL (132-128=4) which means illegal instruction. I suspect AVX is still being used by something. My CPU doesn't support AVX at all, but I am expecting to run all inference on the GPU so achieving acceleration on CPU should be unimportant(?)

Expected behavior LocalAI starts and serves an interface on the exposed host port 8082, ready to run inference on the AMD card.

@chris-hatton looks something behind the scenes is happening - care to share dmesg when that happens?

Also, why using REBUILD? The image should have already binaries for the CPU flagset variants, including non-AVX - did you tried to disable it? your GPU seems also covered by defaults GPU_TARGETS

Regarding...

The image should have already binaries for the CPU flagset variants, including non-AVX

...if I simply run the image localai/localai:latest-aio-gpu-hipblas with no rebuild, then the last lines in the log are:

===> LocalAI All-in-One (AIO) container starting...
AMD GPU detected
Non-NVIDIA GPU detected. Specific GPU memory size detection is not implemented.
===> Starting LocalAI[gpu-8g] with the following models: /aio/gpu-8g/embeddings.yaml,/aio/gpu-8g/rerank.yaml,/aio/gpu-8g/text-to-speech.yaml,/aio/gpu-8g/image-gen.yaml,/aio/gpu-8g/text-to-text.yaml,/aio/gpu-8g/speech-to-text.yaml,/aio/gpu-8g/vision.yaml

Skipping rebuild
@@@@@
If you are experiencing issues with the pre-compiled builds, try setting REBUILD=true
If you are still experiencing issues with the build, try setting CMAKE_ARGS and disable the instructions set as needed:
CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_F16C=OFF -DGGML_AVX512=OFF -DGGML_AVX2=OFF -DGGML_FMA=OFF"
see the documentation at: https://localai.io/basics/build/index.html

@@@@@

Then the container halts with exit code 132 - meaning Illegal Opcode i.e. no AVX. So it looks like something in LocalAI's setup is requiring AVX.

It's that guidance in the log that prompted me to rebuild.

@chris-hatton gotcha, I did not payed attention to the messages that you are actually using hipblas images. Could you try https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/pull/4167 if solves your issues once merged in master?

[chris-hatton]

Unfortunately #4167 did not resolve the issue as noted here
