Training extremely large neural network models presents significant challenges due to their immense memory requirements and lengthy training times, often exceeding the capacity of individual GPUs. To address this, various parallelism techniques are employed, including data parallelism where models are replicated across multiple workers, and model parallelism where the model itself is partitioned across machines. Advanced methods like gradient accumulation and techniques to offload parameters to CPU memory are also utilized to optimize training efficiency and manage resource constraints. AI
