    Study Notes

    • Deep learning is a technique that uses large neural networks to learn complex patterns.
    • A neural network is a model that contains many parameters called weights.
    • The training process involves many iterations where the weight becomes slightly modified by adding delta W.
    • In distributed training, we need to take communication overhead into consideration.
    • The fully connected topology has the lowest latency.
    • There are two types of distributed training: model parallelism and data parallelism.
    • Model parallelism happens when we train a very large neural network that cannot fit into a single device.
    • In model parallelism, the communication between the hosts is intensive. PCIe transaction overhead can be high, and GPU cards must compete for PCIe bus bandwidth.
    • This is the drawback, and, in some cases, may be a waste of computer resources of the GPU, because the bottleneck shifts from compute to communication.
    • In data parallelism, there is no communication between the nodes during the processing of a mini batch. These nodes only communicate when a mini batch is processed, and the model update, delta W, is broadcasted.
    • CPU, GPU, and XPU are compared on model parallelism.
    • GPU nodes are more sensitive to communication overhead, and CPU nodes are more efficient.
    • Deep learning requires a lot of computation and communication between computer resources.
    • There are three main types of distributed training models: data parallelism, model parallelism, and task parallelism.
    • Data parallelism is the most common type of distributed training, where the training data is split between multiple workers.
    • Model parallelism uses multiple workers to train the same model simultaneously, while task parallelism divides the task of training a model into multiple subtasks, which can be executed on multiple workers.
    • The communication overhead required for deep learning is high, which is why it is important to consider not only the compute power of the machines, but also the computer, memory, and communication resources.
