FAQPage Schema
How do I scale PyTorch training across multiple GPUs without rewriting my code?

You can scale PyTorch training across multiple GPUs using a unified API that automates distributed backends, enabling single-GPU to multi-node setups without major code changes.

What is the best way to run distributed PyTorch training with DeepSpeed and FSDP?

The best way to run distributed PyTorch training with DeepSpeed and FSDP is using a unified API that supports both backends, offering one-shot configuration and a single launch workflow.

Can I use mixed precision training for PyTorch on both CPU and GPU clusters?

Yes, you can use mixed precision training for PyTorch on both CPU and GPU clusters, as the unified API provides automatic device placement to enable easier scaling across hardware.

How do I configure and launch a multi-node PyTorch training script?

To configure and launch a multi-node PyTorch training script, run accelerate config to tailor your setup, then execute your training script using accelerate launch train.py.

Does this unified PyTorch API support Megatron-LM for large-scale model training?

Yes, the unified PyTorch API supports Megatron-LM alongside DDP, DeepSpeed, and FSDP, allowing you to automate scalable training across various distributed backends.

Do I need to manually handle device placement when scaling PyTorch models?

No, you do not need to manually handle device placement when scaling PyTorch models, because the unified API automates device placement and mixed precision for your training workflow.
