💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the complexity of adapting a single PyTorch training script to different hardware setups, from one GPU to large multi-node clusters.

Core Features & Use Cases

Unified distributed training: Prepare models, optimizers, and dataloaders once for DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP, or Megatron-LM.
Automatic training helpers: Handle device placement, mixed precision, gradient accumulation, checkpointing, and launch configuration.
Use case: A researcher can turn a single-GPU fine-tuning script into a scalable multi-GPU training job without rewriting the training loop.

FAQPage Schema

How do I adapt a PyTorch training script for distributed multi-GPU execution?▼

To adapt a PyTorch training script for distributed execution, prepare models, optimizers, and dataloaders once for DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP, or Megatron-LM without rewriting the training loop. This simplifies scaling single-GPU scripts to large multi-node clusters.

What is the easiest way to run Hugging Face models with DeepSpeed or FSDP?▼

The easiest way to run Hugging Face models with DeepSpeed or FSDP is using a unified distributed training interface that automatically handles device placement, mixed precision, gradient accumulation, and checkpointing across single-GPU, multi-GPU, and multi-node workflows.

Does Hugging Face Accelerate support Megatron-LM workflows for fine-tuning?▼

Yes, Hugging Face Accelerate supports Megatron-LM workflows for fine-tuning. It applies to single-GPU, multi-GPU, multi-node, DeepSpeed, and FSDP setups, allowing researchers to scale training jobs across different hardware configurations seamlessly.

Do I need to manually manage device placement and mixed precision for distributed training?▼

You do not need to manually manage device placement and mixed precision for distributed training. The setup provides automatic training helpers that handle device placement, mixed precision, gradient accumulation, and launch configuration for your PyTorch scripts.

Can I use a single-GPU fine-tuning script on a multi-node cluster without rewriting code?▼

Yes, you can use a single-GPU fine-tuning script on a multi-node cluster without rewriting code. The unified distributed training approach prepares models, optimizers, and dataloaders once, removing the complexity of adapting scripts for different hardware setups.

What are the limitations of using automatic training helpers for PyTorch distributed training?▼

The limitations of using automatic training helpers for PyTorch distributed training are not explicitly defined, but the approach targets standard DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP, and Megatron-LM workflows, requiring appropriate hardware configurations for multi-GPU and multi-node scaling.
