PyTorch has announced a new series of 10 video tutorials on Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) today. The tutorials are led by Less Wright, an AI/PyTorch Partner Engineer and who also presented at ...

FSDP produces identical results as PyTorch DDP (it's still synchronous data parallel training) FSDP shards parameters (FP16 + FP32) and optimizer state across data parallel GPUs FSDP is faster than ...

Facebook introduces Fully Sharded Data-Parallel (FSDP) that makes training large AI models easier. FSDP is a data-parallel training approach that shards the model’s parameters among data-parallel ...

Network-Offloaded Bandwidth-Optimal Broadcast and Allgather for Distributed AI Abstract: In the Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) training pipeline, ... We extract the parallelism in our Allgather ...
