Description
I want to fine-tuning vicuna via train_mem.py.
It requires module flash_attn, and flash_attn requires nvcc.
Based on that, I assume train_mem.py can only run on GPU.
Is my understanding right?
Anyway to fine-tuning vicuna via CPU? I don't care the training time as I don't have GPU. :-)

Research direction
Start by inspecting train_mem.py and its dependency on flash_attn and nvcc. Determine whether CPU fine-tuning is supported or what changes would be required; done would require a confirmed CPU path or clear documentation that GPU support is required.
