Modal GPU Training

Overview

Modal is a serverless platform for running Python code on cloud GPUs. It provides:

  • Serverless GPUs: On-demand access to T4, A10G, A100 GPUs
  • Container Images: Define dependencies declaratively with pip
  • Remote Execution: Run functions on cloud infrastructure
  • Result Handling: Return Python objects from remote functions

Two patterns:

  • Single Function: Simple script with @app.function decorator
  • Multi-Function: Complex workflows with multiple remote calls

Installation

pip install modal
modal token set --token-id <id> --token-secret <secret>

Minimal Example

import modal

app = modal.App("my-training-app")

image = modal.Image.debian_slim(python_version="3.11").pip_install(
    "torch",
    "einops",
    "numpy",
)

@app.function(gpu="A100", image=image, timeout=3600)
def train():
    import torch
    device = torch.device("cuda")
    print(f"Using GPU: {torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)}")

    # Training code here
    return {"loss": 0.5}

@app.local_entrypoint()
def main():
    results = train.remote()
    print(results)

Common Imports

import modal
from modal import Image, App

# Inside remote function
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

When to Use What

AC branch pi-model power flow equations (P/Q and |S|) with transformer tap ratio and phase shift, matching `acopf-math-model.md` and MATPOWER branch fields. Use when computing branch flows in either direction, aggregating bus injections for nodal balance, checking MVA (rateA) limits, computing branch loading %, or debugging sign/units issues in AC power flow.
