FAQPage Schema
How do I run distributed PyTorch training across multiple GPUs without changing my code?

Distributed PyTorch training across multiple GPUs requires minimal code changes when using a unified API that handles device placement automatically. You configure your environment and launch the workflow with a single command.

What is the easiest way to configure mixed-precision training in PyTorch?

Mixed-precision training in PyTorch is easiest when configured automatically through a unified API supporting FP16, BF16, and FP8. You simply run an interactive configuration command to set the precision level.

Can I use DeepSpeed and FSDP with the same PyTorch script?

Yes, DeepSpeed and FSDP can run with the same PyTorch script by utilizing a unified API. This allows you to switch between distributed training strategies without rewriting your core training logic.

Does this unified training API support multi-node clusters and single GPUs?

This unified training API supports scaling from a single GPU to multi-node clusters seamlessly. It applies the same consistent API across CPUs, GPUs, and nodes for distributed PyTorch training.

How do I launch multi-node PyTorch training experiments quickly?

To launch multi-node PyTorch training experiments quickly, use a single-command launch workflow after setting up your environment. This enables interactive configuration and one-shot execution for fast scaling.
