From Skew to Symmetry: Node-Interconnect Multi-Path Balancing with Execution-time Planning for Modern GPU Clusters
Jinghan Yao, Kaushik Kandadi, Bharath Ramesh +2
Modern GPU-based high-performance computing clusters offer unprecedented communication bandwidth through heterogeneous intra-node interconnects and inter-node networks. However, de…
Training Ultra Long Context Language Model with Fully Pipelined Distributed Transformer
Jinghan Yao, Sam Ade Jacobs, Masahiro Tanaka +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) with long context capabilities are integral to complex tasks in natural language processing and computational biology, such as text generation and prot…
Scaling Large Language Model Training on Frontier with Low-Bandwidth Partitioning
Lang Xu, Quentin Anthony, Jacob Hatef +4
Scaling up Large Language Model(LLM) training involves fitting a tremendous amount of training parameters across a limited number of workers. However, methods like ZeRO-3 that dras…
Accelerating Large Language Model Training with Hybrid GPU-based Compression
Lang Xu, Quentin Anthony, Qinghua Zhou +5
Data Parallelism (DP), Tensor Parallelism (TP), and Pipeline Parallelism (PP) are the three strategies widely adopted to enable fast and efficient Large Language Model (LLM) traini…
Demystifying the Communication Characteristics for Distributed Transformer Models
Quentin Anthony, Benjamin Michalowicz, Jacob Hatef +5
Deep learning (DL) models based on the transformer architecture have revolutionized many DL applications such as large language models (LLMs), vision transformers, audio generation…
