FairScale is a collection of PyTorch performance and scaling primitives that pioneered many of the ideas now used for large-model training. It introduced Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) style techniques that shard model parameters, gradients, and optimizer states across ranks to fit bigger models into the same memory budget. The library also provides pipeline parallelism, activation checkpointing, mixed precision, optimizer state sharding (OSS), and auto-wrapping policies that reduce boilerplate in complex distributed setups. Its components are modular, so teams can adopt just the sharding optimizer or the pipeline engine without rewriting their training loop. ...

Fairseq(-py) is a sequence modeling toolkit that allows researchers and developers to train custom models for translation, summarization, language modeling and other text generation tasks. We provide reference implementations of various sequence modeling papers. Recent work by Microsoft and Google has shown that data parallel training can be made significantly more efficient by sharding the model parameters and optimizer state across data parallel workers. These ideas are encapsulated in the...
