Training LLMs at massive scale brings unique infrastructure challenges, especially as jobs span thousands of GPUs and run for extended periods. The longer these jobs run, the greater the likelihood of encountering unscheduled interruptions or resource fluctuations. Even infrequent device unavailability can have outsized effects on tightly interconnected clusters, resulting in slowdowns for a given … Continue reading Enhancing Goodput in Large-Scale LLM Training with Nonuniform Tensor Parallelism
