Data parallelism does a good job in speeding up the training. However, when it comes to the case when the memory of a single device can not host a whole model, data parallelism would not have the chance to do anything. Another option is to split the model by operator, or horizontally. Megatron-LM introduced a 1-Dimensional distributed method to use GPUs to speed up the training process. Optimus is a 2D solution for distributed tensor parallelism. However, these methods have a high communication overhead and a low scaling efficiency on large-scale computing clusters. To solve this problem, we investigate the 2.5-Dimensional distributed tensor parallelism.Introduced by Solomonik et al., 2.5-Dimensional Matrix Multiplication developed an effective method to perform multiple Cannons algorithm at the same time to increase the efficiency. With many restrictions of Cannons Algorithm and a huge amount of shift operation, we need to invent a new method of 2.5-dimensional matrix multiplication to enhance the performance. Absorbing the essence from both SUMMA and 2.5-Dimensional Matrix Multiplication, we introduced SUMMA2.5-LM for language models to overcome the abundance of unnecessary transmission loss result from the increasing size of language model parallelism. Compared to previous 1D and 2D model parallelization of language models, our SUMMA2.5-LM managed to reduce the transmission cost on each layer, which could get a 1.45X efficiency according to our weak scaling result between 2.5-D [4,4,4] arrangement and 2-D [8,8,1] arrangement.

A major driver behind the success of modern machine learning algorithms has been their ability to process ever-larger amounts of data. As a result, the use of distributed systems in both research and production has become increasingly prevalent as a
means to scale to this growing data. At the same time, however, distributing the learning process can drastically complicate the implementation of even simple algorithms. This is especially problematic as many machine learning practitioners are not well-versed in the design of distributed systems, let alone those that have complicated communication topologies. In this work we introduce Launchpad, a programming model that simplifies the process of defining and launching distributed systems that is specifically tailored towards a machine learning audience. We describe our framework, its design philosophy and implementation, and give a number of examples of common learning algorithms whose designs are greatly simplified by this approach.
Distributed deep learning workloads include throughput-intensive training tasks on the GPU clusters, where the Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) incurs significant communication delays after backward propagation, forces workers to wait fo
r the gradient synchronization via a centralized parameter server or directly in decentralized workers. We present CrossoverScheduler, an algorithm that enables communication cycles of a distributed training application to be filled by other applications through pipelining communication and computation. With CrossoverScheduler, the running performance of distributed training can be significantly improved without sacrificing convergence rate and network accuracy. We achieve so by introducing Crossover Synchronization which allows multiple distributed deep learning applications to time-share the same GPU alternately. The prototype of CrossoverScheduler is built and integrated with Horovod. Experiments on a variety of distributed tasks show that CrossoverScheduler achieves 20% times speedup for image classification tasks on ImageNet dataset.
Distributed training techniques have been widely deployed in large-scale deep neural networks (DNNs) training on dense-GPU clusters. However, on public cloud clusters, due to the moderate inter-connection bandwidth between instances, traditional stat
e-of-the-art distributed training systems cannot scale well in training large-scale models. In this paper, we propose a new computing and communication efficient top-k sparsification communication library for distributed training. To further improve the system scalability, we optimize I/O by proposing a simple yet efficient multi-level data caching mechanism and optimize the update operation by introducing a novel parallel tensor operator. Experimental results on a 16-node Tencent Cloud cluster (each node with 8 Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs) show that our system achieves 25%-40% faster than existing state-of-the-art systems on CNNs and Transformer. We finally break the record on DAWNBench on training ResNet-50 to 93% top-5 accuracy on ImageNet.
Distributed training of deep learning models on large-scale training data is typically conducted with asynchronous stochastic optimization to maximize the rate of updates, at the cost of additional noise introduced from asynchrony. In contrast, the s
ynchronous approach is often thought to be impractical due to idle time wasted on waiting for straggling workers. We revisit these conventional beliefs in this paper, and examine the weaknesses of both approaches. We demonstrate that a third approach, synchronous optimization with backup workers, can avoid asynchronous noise while mitigating for the worst stragglers. Our approach is empirically validated and shown to converge faster and to better test accuracies.
Distributed optimization algorithms are widely used in many industrial machine learning applications. However choosing the appropriate algorithm and cluster size is often difficult for users as the performance and convergence rate of optimization alg
orithms vary with the size of the cluster. In this paper we make the case for an ML-optimizer that can select the appropriate algorithm and cluster size to use for a given problem. To do this we propose building two models: one that captures the system level characteristics of how computation, communication change as we increase cluster sizes and another that captures how convergence rates change with cluster sizes. We present preliminary results from our prototype implementation called Hemingway and discuss some of the challenges involved in developing such a system.
