SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Accelerate provides a single, high-level API to simplify and unify distributed training across multiple hardware backends and environments, reducing boilerplate and enabling scripts to run on single or multi-node clusters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified API for DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP, and Megatron-LM across CPU/GPU/TPU.
  • Automatic device placement, mixed precision, and interactive configuration.
  • Easy migration of existing single-GPU training code to multi-GPU setups with minimal changes.

Quick Start

Install accelerate, configure your hardware with accelerate config, then run your training script after preparing the model with Accelerator.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run PyTorch distributed training across multiple GPUs with minimal code changes?

Distributed training across multiple GPUs requires minimal code changes when you prepare your model with a unified Accelerator API, enabling single-script portability across single-node or multi-node setups without rewriting your training loop.

Can I use FSDP and DeepSpeed in the same PyTorch training script?

FSDP and DeepSpeed can be used in the same PyTorch training script through a unified API that supports both backends, allowing you to switch between distributed training strategies via configuration rather than modifying core training logic.

What is the best way to migrate single-GPU PyTorch code to a multi-GPU setup?

Migrating single-GPU PyTorch code to a multi-GPU setup is best handled by applying automatic device placement and mixed precision through an Accelerator object, preserving your original script structure while enabling multi-node execution.

Does distributed training with Megatron-LM work across CPU, GPU, and TU environments?

Distributed training with Megatron-LM works across CPU, GPU, and TPU environments by leveraging a high-level API that abstracts hardware backends, ensuring your training script maintains portability across different accelerator configurations.

How do I configure mixed precision and device placement for multi-node training?

Mixed precision and device placement for multi-node training are configured interactively using a quick config command, which automatically handles accelerator setup and applies the specified optimizations during model preparation.
