Описание курса
Distributed training is an essential skill in large-scale machine learning, helping you to reduce the time required to train large language models with trillions of parameters. In this course, you will explore the tools, techniques, and strategies essential for efficient distributed training using PyTorch, Accelerator, and Trainer.
Preparing Data for Distributed Training
You'll begin by preparing data for distributed training by splitting datasets across multiple devices and deploying model copies to each device. You'll gain hands-on experience in preprocessing data for distributed environments, including images, audio, and text.Exploring Efficiency Techniques
Once your data is ready, you'll explore ways to improve efficiency in training and optimizer use across multiple interfaces. You'll see how to address these challenges by improving memory usage, device communication, and computational efficiency with techniques like gradient accumulation, gradient checkpointing, local stochastic gradient descent, and mixed precision training. You'll understand the tradeoffs between different optimizers to help you decrease your model's memory footprint.By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to build distributed AI-powered services.Предварительные требования

Improving Training Efficiency
Distributed training strains resources with large models and datasets, but you can address these challenges by improving memory usage, device communication, and computational efficiency. You'll discover the techniques of gradient accumulation, gradient checkpointing, local stochastic gradient descent, and mixed precision training.
