LiteTorch is a lightweight, high-performance deep learning and large language model (LLM) training engine built in native C++14 with Python bindings via `pybind11`.

LiteTorch delivers the core training capabilities of **PyTorch + Megatron-LM + DeepSpeed ZeRO-3** within a standalone, lean C++ runtime that eliminates Python GIL latency and external dependency bloat.

---

## Key Capabilities

### 1. Modern Transformer & LLM Primitives
- **Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE)**: Native rotary embeddings as used in modern architectures like LLaMA 3 and Qwen.
- **FlashAttention & GQA**: Integrated FlashAttention kernel with causal masking and Grouped-Query Attention (GQA). Automatic dynamic probe for external FlashAttention-3 (`libflash_attn.so`) on Hopper/Blackwell.
- **RMSNorm & LayerNorm**: High-performance normalization layers with fused backward passes.
- **SwiGLU & Activation Functions**: SiLU, GELU, ReLU, LeakyReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh with warp-level GPU implementations.
- **Mixture of Experts (MoE)**: Top-K routing with native GPU expert execution.

### 2. 4D Distributed Parallelism & Large-Scale Scaling
- **Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP / ZeRO-3)**: Automatic parameter, gradient, and optimizer state sharding across arbitrary cluster sizes with batched `ncclGroupStart`/`ncclGroupEnd` all-gather pipelines.
- **Tensor Parallelism (TP)**: Megatron-LM style `ColumnParallelLinear` and `RowParallelLinear` with overlapped inter-GPU reductions.
- **Pipeline Parallelism (PP)**: 1F1B (One-Forward-One-Backward) schedule to minimize pipeline bubbles.
- **Context Parallelism (CP) & Ring Attention**: Sequence splitting across GPUs with ring-based Key-Value communication.
- **Rendezvous System**: Dual initialization via Shared FileStore (`LITETORCH_RENDEZVOUS_FILE`) and TCP sockets for massive GPU scale (1000+ GPUs).

### 3. Dual-Platform Hardware Acceleration
- **NVIDIA CUDA**: cuBLAS, cuDNN, 5th-Gen Blackwell Tensor Core support (sm_100), native FP8/FP4 matrix multiplication (`cublasLtMatmul`).
- **AMD ROCm / HIP**: Full hipcc compilation with rocBLAS and MIOpen support.
- **OpenCL & CPU Fallback**: Automatic hardware detection falling back to OpenCL or multi-threaded CPU execution.

### 4. Advanced Memory Management
- **Activation Checkpointing**: Recomputes intermediate layer activations on the backward pass to reduce activation VRAM by 60% to 70%.
- **LRU Memory Eviction & Caching Allocator**: Smart block caching with automatic LRU swapping between Host RAM and GPU VRAM.
- **Mixed Precision (AMP)**: Automatic FP16/BF16/FP8 training with dynamic loss scaling via `GradScaler`.
- **CUDA Graph Capture**: Stream recording to eliminate host-device launch latency.

## Code Examples

### 1. Basic Tensor Operations & Autograd

```python
import litetorch as lt

device = lt.auto_device()

x = lt.Tensor.from_vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], [2, 2], device, True)
w = lt.Tensor.from_vector([0.5, -1.0, 2.0, 0.1], [2, 2], device, True)

y = lt.Ops.matmul(x, w)
loss = lt.Ops.sum(y)
loss.backward()

print("Loss:", loss.item())
print("Gradient of X:", x.grad.to_vector())
```

### 2. Transformer Decoder Layer (Self-Attention + RMSNorm + Linear)

```python
import litetorch as lt

class TransformerDecoderBlock(lt.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, hidden_dim, num_heads):
        super().__init__()
        self.norm1 = lt.nn.RMSNorm([hidden_dim])
        self.norm2 = lt.nn.RMSNorm([hidden_dim])
        self.q_proj = lt.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim, False)
        self.k_proj = lt.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim, False)
        self.v_proj = lt.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim, False)
        self.out_proj = lt.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim, False)
        self.fc1 = lt.nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim * 4, False)
        self.fc2 = lt.nn.Linear(hidden_dim * 4, hidden_dim, False)
        self.hidden_dim = hidden_dim
        self.num_heads = num_heads

    def forward(self, x):
        h = self.norm1.forward(x)
        q = self.q_proj.forward(h)
        k = self.k_proj.forward(h)
        v = self.v_proj.forward(h)
        attn_out = lt.Ops.flash_attention(q, k, v, self.num_heads, self.num_heads, True)
        x = lt.Ops.add(x, self.out_proj.forward(attn_out))
        
        h2 = self.norm2.forward(x)
        mlp_out = self.fc2.forward(lt.Ops.silu(self.fc1.forward(h2)))
        out = lt.Ops.add(x, mlp_out)
        return out

    def parameters(self):
        return (
            self.norm1.parameters() + self.norm2.parameters() +
            self.q_proj.parameters() + self.k_proj.parameters() +
            self.v_proj.parameters() + self.out_proj.parameters() +
            self.fc1.parameters() + self.fc2.parameters()
        )
```

### 3. Mixed Precision Training with GradScaler & AdamW

```python
import litetorch as lt

device = lt.auto_device()
model = TransformerDecoderBlock(128, 4)
model.to(device)

optimizer = lt.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3, weight_decay=0.01)
scaler = lt.amp.GradScaler(init_scale=65536.0)

x = lt.Tensor.from_vector([0.1] * (2 * 16 * 128), [2, 16, 128], device, False)
target = lt.Tensor.from_vector([0.0] * (2 * 16 * 128), [2, 16, 128], device, False)

for step in range(50):
    optimizer.zero_grad()
    with lt.amp.AutocastGuard(True):
        logits = model.forward(x)
        loss = lt.Ops.mse_loss(logits, target)
    
    scaler.scale(loss).backward()
    scaler.step(optimizer)
    scaler.update()
    
    if step % 10 == 0:
        print(f"Step {step} | Loss: {loss.item():.6f}")
```

### 4. Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) Training

```python
import litetorch as lt

class LargeModel(lt.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.layer1 = lt.nn.Linear(1024, 4096, True)
        self.layer2 = lt.nn.Linear(4096, 1024, True)

    def forward(self, x):
        h = lt.Ops.relu(self.layer1.forward(x))
        return self.layer2.forward(h)

model = LargeModel()
lt.distributed.FSDP.fully_shard(model)
```
