Understanding Outer Optimizers in Local SGD: Learning Rates, Momentum, and Acceleration
Ahmed Khaled, Satyen Kale, Arthur Douillard +3
Modern machine learning often requires training with large batch size, distributed data, and massively parallel compute hardware (like mobile and other edge devices or distributed…
Communication-Efficient Language Model Training Scales Reliably and Robustly: Scaling Laws for DiLoCo
Zachary Charles, Gabriel Teston, Lucio Dery +5
As we scale to more massive machine learning models, the frequent synchronization demands inherent in data-parallel approaches create significant slowdowns, posing a critical chall…
Eager Updates For Overlapped Communication and Computation in DiLoCo
Satyen Kale, Arthur Douillard, Yanislav Donchev
Distributed optimization methods such as DiLoCo have been shown to be effective in training very large models across multiple distributed workers, such as datacenters. These method…
Streaming DiLoCo with overlapping communication: Towards a Distributed Free Lunch
Arthur Douillard, Yanislav Donchev, Keith Rush +11
Training of large language models (LLMs) is typically distributed across a large number of accelerators to reduce training time. Since internal states and parameter gradients need…
