FAQPage Schema
How do I scale a single-GPU PyTorch script to multi-GPU without rewriting code?

Distributed training can be scaled from a single-GPU script to multi-GPU or multi-node deployments using a unified API that requires minimal code changes to convert simple scripts into multi-device runs. It enables automatic device placement and a single-launch workflow.

What is the best way to run PyTorch distributed training across different hardware configurations?

PyTorch distributed training across diverse hardware is best handled by a unified, portable API that supports automatic device placement and mixed-precision workflows. It provides interactive configuration to tailor environments and a single-launch execution for multi-device runs.

Does this unified API support mixed-precision training with FP16, BF16, and FP8?

Mixed-precision training is fully supported, including FP16, BF16, and FP8 formats. The API integrates these workflows natively to optimize multi-device PyTorch runs while maintaining a minimal-disruption approach to your existing training scripts.

How do I integrate DeepSpeed, FSDP, or Megatron-LM into my PyTorch training loop?

DeepSpeed, FSDP, and Megatron-LM can be integrated into a PyTorch training loop through a unified API that abstracts their configurations. This allows you to leverage these advanced distributed training strategies without heavily rewriting your core script logic.

Can I use this approach to deploy PyTorch models on multi-node clusters?

Yes, you can deploy PyTorch models on multi-node clusters by utilizing the API's multi-node deployment capabilities. It converts simple scripts into scalable multi-device runs, handling automatic device placement across the cluster with a single-launch command.

What steps are needed to configure a distributed training environment before launching?

To configure a distributed training environment, you run an interactive configuration command to tailor your hardware and execution settings. After generating the configuration, you execute your training script using a single-launch command to start the multi-device run.
