As large language models scale, training them requires thousands of GPUs over extended durations--making frequent failures an inevitable reality. While checkpointing remains the primary fault-tolerance mechanism, existing methods fall short…

Large Language Model (LLM) training is frequently interrupted by a heterogeneous spectrum of failures, from common GPU crashes to catastrophic cluster-wide outages. Existing checkpointing systems rely on monolithic, single-tier storage…

With the increased penetration and proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there is a growing trend towards distributing the power of deep learning (DL) across edge devices rather than centralizing it in the cloud. This…

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success as foundational models, benefiting various downstream applications through fine-tuning. Recent studies on loss scaling have demonstrated the superior performance of larger…

A distributed system consisting of a huge number of computational entities is prone to faults, because faults in a few nodes cause the entire system to fail. Consequently, fault tolerance of distributed systems is a critical issue.…

Deep-learning-based recommendation models (DLRMs) are widely deployed to serve personalized content to users. DLRMs are large in size due to their use of large embedding tables, and are trained by distributing the model across the memory of…

As LLMs scale to multi-million-token KV histories, real-time autoregressive decoding under tight Token-to-Token Latency (TTL) constraints faces growing pressure. Two core bottlenecks dominate: accessing Feed-Forward Network (FFN) weights…

Larger deep learning models usually lead to higher model quality with an ever-increasing GPU memory footprint. Although tensor checkpointing techniques have been proposed to enable training under a restricted GPU memory budget, the input…

Optimizing the parallel training of large models requires exploring intra-operator parallelism plans for a computation graph that typically contains tens of thousands of primitive operators. While the optimization of parallel data…

The dedicated memory of hardware accelerators can be insufficient to store all weights and/or intermediate states of large deep learning models. Although model parallelism is a viable approach to reduce the memory pressure issue,…

Training large-scale models relies on a vast number of computing resources. For example, training the GPT-4 model (1.8 trillion parameters) requires 25000 A100 GPUs . It is a challenge to build a large-scale cluster with one type of…

Class-incremental learning aims to continuously acquire new knowledge while preserving previously learned information, thereby mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Existing methods primarily restrict parameter updates but often overlook…

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are valued for their computational efficiency and reduced memory requirements on tasks involving long sequence lengths but require high memory-processor bandwidth to train. Checkpointing techniques can…

As distributed optimization scales to meet the demands of Large Language Model (LLM) training, hardware failures become increasingly non-negligible. Existing fault-tolerant training methods often introduce significant computational or…

Distributed training of large deep-learning models often leads to failures, so checkpointing is commonly employed for recovery. State-of-the-art studies focus on frequent checkpointing for fast recovery from failures. However, it generates…
