Many state-of-the-art ML results have been obtained by scaling up the number of parameters in existing models. However, parameters and activations for such large models often do not fit in the memory of a single accelerator device; this means that it is necessary to distribute training of large models over multiple accelerators. In this work, we propose PipeDream-2BW, a system that supports memory-efficient pipeline parallelism. PipeDream-2BW uses a novel pipelining and weight gradient coalescing strategy, combined with the double buffering of weights, to ensure high throughput, low memory footprint, and weight update semantics similar to data parallelism. In addition, PipeDream-2BW automatically partitions the model over the available hardware resources, while respecting hardware constraints such as memory capacities of accelerators and interconnect topologies. PipeDream-2BW can accelerate the training of large GPT and BERT language models by up to 20$times$ with similar final model accuracy.

Modern machine learning workloads use large models, with complex structures, that are very expensive to execute. The devices that execute complex models are becoming increasingly heterogeneous as we see a flourishing of domain-specific accelerators b
eing offered as hardware accelerators in addition to CPUs. These trends necessitate distributing the workload across multiple devices. Recent work has shown that significant gains can be obtained with model parallelism, i.e, partitioning a neural networks computational graph onto multiple devices. In particular, this form of parallelism assumes a pipeline of devices, which is fed a stream of samples and yields high throughput for training and inference of DNNs. However, for such settings (large models and multiple heterogeneous devices), we require automated algorithms and toolchains that can partition the ML workload across devices. In this paper, we identify and isolate the structured optimization problem at the core of device placement of DNN operators, for both inference and training, especially in modern pipelined settings. We then provide algorithms that solve this problem to optimality. We demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of our approaches using several contemporary DNN computation graphs.
The pre-trained model (PTM) is revolutionizing Artificial intelligence (AI) technology. It learns a model with general language features on the vast text and then fine-tunes the model using a task-specific dataset. Unfortunately, PTM training require
s prohibitively expensive computing devices, especially fine-tuning, which is still a game for a small proportion of people in the AI community. Enabling PTMs training on low-quality devices, PatrickStar now makes PTM accessible to everyone. PatrickStar reduces memory requirements of computing platforms by using the CPU-GPU heterogeneous memory space to store model data, consisting of parameters, gradients, and optimizer states. We observe that the GPU memory available for model data changes regularly, in a tide-like pattern, decreasing and increasing iteratively. However, the existing heterogeneous training works do not take advantage of this pattern. Instead, they statically partition the model data among CPU and GPU, leading to both memory waste and memory abuse. In contrast, PatrickStar manages model data in chunks, which are dynamically distributed in heterogeneous memory spaces. Chunks consist of stateful tensors which run as finite state machines during training. Guided by the runtime memory statistics collected in a warm-up iteration, chunks are orchestrated efficiently in heterogeneous memory and generate lower CPU-GPU data transmission volume. Symbiosis with the Zero Redundancy Optimizer, PatrickStar scales to multiple GPUs using data parallelism, with the lowest communication bandwidth requirements and more efficient bandwidth utilization. Experimental results show PatrickStar trains a 12 billion parameters GPT model, 2x larger than the STOA work, on an 8-V100 and 240GB CPU memory node, and is also more efficient on the same model size.
In this paper, we consider hybrid parallelism -- a paradigm that employs both Data Parallelism (DP) and Model Parallelism (MP) -- to scale distributed training of large recommendation models. We propose a compression framework called Dynamic Communic
ation Thresholding (DCT) for communication-efficient hybrid training. DCT filters the entities to be communicated across the network through a simple hard-thresholding function, allowing only the most relevant information to pass through. For communication efficient DP, DCT compresses the parameter gradients sent to the parameter server during model synchronization. The threshold is updated only once every few thousand iterations to reduce the computational overhead of compression. For communication efficient MP, DCT incorporates a novel technique to compress the activations and gradients sent across the network during the forward and backward propagation, respectively. This is done by identifying and updating only the most relevant neurons of the neural network for each training sample in the data. We evaluate DCT on publicly available natural language processing and recommender models and datasets, as well as recommendation systems used in production at Facebook. DCT reduces communication by at least $100times$ and $20times$ during DP and MP, respectively. The algorithm has been deployed in production, and it improves end-to-end training time for a state-of-the-art industrial recommender model by 37%, without any loss in performance.
The movement of large quantities of data during the training of a Deep Neural Network presents immense challenges for machine learning workloads. To minimize this overhead, especially on the movement and calculation of gradient information, we introd
uce streaming batch principal component analysis as an update algorithm. Streaming batch principal component analysis uses stochastic power iterations to generate a stochastic k-rank approximation of the network gradient. We demonstrate that the low rank updates produced by streaming batch principal component analysis can effectively train convolutional neural networks on a variety of common datasets, with performance comparable to standard mini batch gradient descent. These results can lead to both improvements in the design of application specific integrated circuits for deep learning and in the speed of synchronization of machine learning models trained with data parallelism.
The training of deep neural networks (DNNs) is usually memory-hungry due to the limited device memory capacity of DNN accelerators. Characterizing the memory behaviors of DNN training is critical to optimize the device memory pressures. In this work,
we pinpoint the memory behaviors of each device memory block of GPU during training by instrumenting the memory allocators of the runtime system. Our results show that the memory access patterns of device memory blocks are stable and follow an iterative fashion. These observations are useful for the future optimization of memory-efficient training from the perspective of raw memory access patterns.
