About Horovod
Horovod was originally developed by Uber to make distributed deep learning fast and easy to use, bringing model training time down from days and weeks to hours and minutes. With Horovod, an existing training script can be scaled up to run on hundreds of GPUs in just a few lines of Python code. Horovod can be installed on-premise or run out-of-the-box in cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, and Databricks. Horovod can additionally run on top of Apache Spark, making it possible to unify data processing and model training into a single pipeline. Once Horovod has been configured, the same infrastructure can be used to train models with any framework, making it easy to switch between TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet, and future frameworks as machine learning tech stacks continue to evolve.

AWS Neuron
It supports high-performance training on AWS Trainium-based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Trn1 instances. For model deployment, it supports high-performance and low-latency inference on AWS Inferentia-based Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances and AWS Inferentia2-based Amazon EC2 Inf2 instances. With Neuron, you can use popular frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, and optimally train and deploy machine learning (ML) models on Amazon EC2 Trn1, Inf1, and Inf2 instances with minimal code changes and without tie-in to vendor-specific solutions. AWS Neuron SDK, which supports Inferentia and Trainium accelerators, is natively integrated with PyTorch and TensorFlow. This integration ensures that you can continue using your existing workflows in these popular frameworks and get started with only a few lines of code changes. For distributed model training, the Neuron SDK supports libraries, such as Megatron-LM and PyTorch Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP).
