Researchers have introduced HSAP, a Hierarchical Sequence-aware Parallelism framework designed to improve the efficiency of training large language models. This new approach addresses challenges in handling hybrid-context sequences and causal attention computation, which are common in packed sequences used for pretraining and fine-tuning. HSAP aims to overcome the limitations of existing sequence parallelism methods by optimizing tensor transmission and attention calculations across multiple device groups, utilizing JIT compilation for communication strategies.
