FAQPage Schema
How do I scale PyTorch training from a single-GPU to multi-GPU setup?▼

Scale PyTorch training using a unified API that abstracts backend specifics, allowing you to transition from single-GPU to multi-GPU environments without rewriting your code. It supports automatic device placement and mixed-precision options.

Can I switch between DDP, DeepSpeed, and FSDP without changing my PyTorch script?▼

Yes, switching between DDP, DeepSpeed, and FSDP is possible through a unified interface that abstracts away backend specifics. This reduces boilerplate and enables quick experimentation across distributed training backends.

What is the best way to reduce boilerplate for distributed training in PyTorch?▼

Reduce distributed training boilerplate by using a unified interface that handles backend configurations automatically. This streamlines the process for researchers and engineers deploying production-grade training pipelines.

Does accelerate support Megatron-LM for large-scale model training?▼

Yes, the unified API supports Megatron-LM alongside DDP, DeepSpeed, and FSDP. This ensures compatibility across multiple backends for large-scale model training in PyTorch.

How do I configure mixed precision options for multi-GPU training?▼

Configure mixed precision options for multi-GPU training using the interactive configuration tool provided. It allows you to specify precision settings and backend preferences quickly before launching your script.

Why does distributed training require backend switching and how does a unified API help?▼

Backend switching is required to optimize performance across different hardware setups. A unified API helps by abstracting away these backend specifics, ensuring compatibility and allowing you to scale PyTorch training seamlessly.
