Recently, we open-sourced YaFSDP, Yandex’s tool for efficient distributed training of LLMs.
Here are some of the key ideas used in YaFSDP to provide speedup and memory savings over FSDP:
• Allocate and utilize just two buffers throughout the transformer for all collected weights to circumvent the torch memory allocator;
• Gather small normalization layers at the beginning of the iteration and average the gradients only at the end;
• Move gradient division to the very end of the backward pass.
