FAQPage Schema

How do I run distributed PyTorch training across multiple GPUs?▼

You can run distributed PyTorch training across multiple GPUs using HuggingFace Accelerate to automate device placement and provide a unified API for DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP, and Megatron. This reduces boilerplate by managing the backend setup automatically.

What is the best way to scale HuggingFace Transformers models to multi-node clusters?▼

Scaling HuggingFace Transformers models to multi-node clusters is best achieved using a unified API that manages automatic device placement and mixed precision. This approach enables seamless scaling from a single GPU to multi-node training with a single command.

Can I use mixed precision training like FP16 and BF16 with Accelerate?▼

Yes, you can use mixed precision training with FP16, BF16, and FP8 formats. Accelerate provides automatic mixed precision management across Linux, macOS, and Windows, handling device placement and backend configurations for your PyTorch models.

Does HuggingFace Accelerate support DeepSpeed and FSDP backends?▼

HuggingFace Accelerate supports a unified API across DeepSpeed, FSDP, DDP, and Megatron backends. This allows you to configure and run distributed PyTorch training across these different backends without changing your core training script.

How do I configure my environment before launching multi-GPU training?▼

You configure your environment for multi-GPU training interactively using the accelerate config command. After generating the configuration, you prepare your model with the Accelerator and launch the distributed training workflow using a single command.
