veScale-FSDP: Flexible and High-Performance FSDP at Scale
Zezhou Wang, Youjie Li, Zhiqi Lin +9
Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP), also known as Zero Redundancy Optimizer (ZeRO), is widely used for large-scale model training, because of its memory efficiency and minimal intr…
VeOmni: Scaling Any Modality Model Training with Model-Centric Distributed Recipe Zoo
Qianli Ma, Yaowei Zheng, Zhelun Shi +9
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have driven impressive progress in omni-modal understanding and generation. However, training omni-modal LLMs remains a significant…
SDP4Bit: Toward 4-bit Communication Quantization in Sharded Data Parallelism for LLM Training
Jinda Jia, Cong Xie, Hanlin Lu +8
Recent years have witnessed a clear trend towards language models with an ever-increasing number of parameters, as well as the growing training overhead and memory usage. Distribut…
Distributed Sign Momentum with Local Steps for Training Transformers
Shuhua Yu, Ding Zhou, Cong Xie +4
Pre-training Transformer models is resource-intensive, and recent studies have shown that sign momentum is an efficient technique for training large-scale deep learning models, par…
MoE-Pruner: Pruning Mixture-of-Experts Large Language Model using the Hints from Its Router
Yanyue Xie, Zhi Zhang, Ding Zhou +6
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures face challenges such as high memory consumption and redundancy in experts. Pruning MoE can reduce network weights while maintaining model per…
