FAQPage Schema
How do I set up distributed training in PyTorch without writing boilerplate?▼

Distributed training in PyTorch is simplified by abstracting backend details and device placement, allowing you to add multi-GPU capabilities through a unified API with minimal code changes.

Does Accelerate support FSDP and DeepSpeed for multi-GPU environments?▼

Yes, Accelerate supports FSDP and DeepSpeed, alongside DDP, Megatron-LM, and TPU environments, enabling mixed precision and advanced distributed strategies across single or multi-GPU setups.

What's the best way to launch a PyTorch training script with accelerate config?▼

The best way to launch a PyTorch training script is to configure your environment interactively with accelerate config, then execute the script using the accelerate launch command.

Can I use automatic mixed precision to accelerate training across single and multi-GPU setups?▼

Yes, you can use automatic mixed precision to accelerate training across single and multi-GPU setups, managed via the Accelerate package and optional plugins for advanced strategies.

Why should I use Accelerate instead of writing native DDP or FSDP setup code?▼

You should use Accelerate to eliminate backend-specific setup and boilerplate, providing a consistent environment configuration for rapid prototyping and scale-up experiments across various distributed strategies.
