FAQPage Schema
How do I set up distributed PyTorch training across multiple GPUs?

Distributed PyTorch training is set up using a unified API that adds multi-GPU and multi-node capabilities with minimal code changes. It automates device placement and provides a single-launch workflow to accelerate experimentation.

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

Yes, FSDP and DeepSpeed are supported through a unified API alongside DDP and Megatron. You can switch between these backends for distributed training using interactive configuration without major code modifications.

Does this unified API support mixed precision training with BF16 and FP16?

Mixed precision training with FP16, BF16, and FP8 is fully supported. The API applies automatic device placement to handle these precision formats across single-machine and multi-node environments.

What is the easiest way to launch multi-node PyTorch training?

The easiest way to launch multi-node PyTorch training is using a single-launch workflow with interactive configuration. This approach requires minimal setup and automates device placement for your models.

Do I need to manually manage device placement for distributed training?

No, manual device placement is not needed for distributed training. The unified API automates device placement across CPU and GPU setups, allowing you to focus on model logic rather than hardware allocation.
