DeepSpeed is an open source deep learning optimization library for PyTorch.[1]
Library
[edit]The library is designed to reduce computing power and memory use and to train large distributed models with better parallelism on existing computer hardware.[2][3] DeepSpeed is optimized for low latency, high throughput training. It includes the Zero Redundancy Optimizer (ZeRO) for training models with 1 trillion or more parameters.[4] Features include mixed precision training, single-GPU, multi-GPU, and multi-node training as well as custom model parallelism. The DeepSpeed source code is licensed under MIT License and available on GitHub.[5]
The team claimed to achieve up to a 6.2x throughput improvement, 2.8x faster convergence, and 4.6x less communication.[6]
