One of the main challenges in training Large Language Models (LLMs) is that they are often too large to fit on a single node or even if they fit, the training may be too slow. To address this issue, their training can be parallelized across multiple Gaudi accelerators (HPUs).
If you want to train a large model using Megatron-DeepSpeed, but the model you want is not included in the implementation, you can port it to the Megatron-DeepSpeed package. Assuming your model is transformer-based, you can add your implementation easily, basing it on existing code.
We have optimized additional Large Language Models on Hugging Face using the Optimum Habana library.
In this release, we’ve upgraded versions of several libraries, including DeepSpeed 0.9.4, PyTorch Lightning 2.0.4 and TensorFlow 2.12.1.
We are excited to see Meta release Llama 2, to help further democratize access to LLMs. Making such models more widely available will facilitate efforts across the AI community to benefit the world at large.
Habana Labs, an Intel company, and Genesis Cloud are collaborating to deliver a new class of cloud instances with Habana® Gaudi®2 accelerators to enable high-performance, high-efficiency deep learning training and inference workloads in the cloud.
In the 1.10 release, we’ve upgraded versions of several libraries, including PyTorch 2.0.1, PyTorch Lightning 2.0.0 and TensorFlow 2.12.0. We have added support for EKS 1.25 and OpenShift 4.12
We’re excited to participate in this year’s ISC High Performance Compute 2023 event in Hamburg Germany. This year our team will demonstrate the capabilities of our Habana Gaudi2® processors, which deliver high-performance, high-efficiency deep learning training and inference.
In training workloads, there may occur some scenarios in which graph re-compilations occur. This can create system latency and slow down the overall training process with multiple iterations of graph compilation. This blog focuses on detecting these graph re-compilations.
