Megatron is a large, powerful transformer developed by the Applied Deep Learning Research team at NVIDIA. This repository is for ongoing research on training large transformer language models at scale. We developed efficient, model-parallel (tensor, sequence, and pipeline), and multi-node pre-training of transformer based models such as GPT, BERT, and T5 using mixed precision. Megatron is also used in NeMo Megatron, a framework to help enterprises overcome the challenges of building and training sophisticated natural language processing models with billions and trillions of parameters. ...

...However, distributed training, especially model parallelism, often requires domain expertise in computer systems and architecture. It remains a challenge for AI researchers to implement complex distributed training solutions for their models. Colossal-AI provides a collection of parallel components for you. We aim to support you to write your distributed deep learning models just like how you write your model on your laptop.

Modern workloads like deep learning and hyperparameter tuning are compute-intensive and require distributed or parallel execution. Ray makes it effortless to parallelize single machine code — go from a single CPU to multi-core, multi-GPU or multi-node with minimal code changes. Accelerate your PyTorch and Tensorflow workload with a more resource-efficient and flexible distributed execution framework powered by Ray. Accelerate your hyperparameter search workloads with Ray Tune. ...

This repository records EleutherAI's library for training large-scale language models on GPUs. Our current framework is based on NVIDIA's Megatron Language Model and has been augmented with techniques from DeepSpeed as well as some novel optimizations. We aim to make this repo a centralized and accessible place to gather techniques for training large-scale autoregressive language models, and accelerate research into large-scale training. For those looking for a TPU-centric codebase, we...

...Elephas intends to keep the simplicity and high usability of Keras, thereby allowing for fast prototyping of distributed models, which can be run on massive data sets. Elephas implements a class of data-parallel algorithms on top of Keras, using Spark's RDDs and data frames. Keras Models are initialized on the driver, then serialized and shipped to workers, alongside with data and broadcasted model parameters. Spark workers deserialize the model, train their chunk of data and send their gradients back to the driver. The "master" model on the driver is updated by an optimizer, which takes gradients either synchronously or asynchronously. ...

...IMPALA introduced a new paradigm for efficiently training agents across large-scale environments by decoupling acting and learning processes. In this architecture, multiple actor processes interact with their environments in parallel to collect trajectories, which are then asynchronously sent to a centralized learner for policy updates. The learner uses importance weighting to correct for policy lag between actors and the learner, enabling stable off-policy training at scale. This design allows the system to scale efficiently to hundreds of environments and billions of frames while maintaining sample efficiency and stability. ...

...The Intel Math Kernel Library takes advantages of the parallelization and vectorization capabilities of Intel Xeon and Xeon Phi systems. When hyperthreading is enabled on the system, we recommend the following KMP_AFFINITY setting to make sure parallel threads are 1:1 mapped to the available physical cores.
