A research paper titled "Accurate, Large Minibatch SGD: Training ImageNet in 1 Hour" proposes a method for scaling single-GPU experiments to thousands of GPUs. The approach involves linearly extrapolating the learning rate and mini-batch size, based on the assumption that a large global batch can be divided into smaller mini-batches across multiple nodes. This technique, when combined with a linear warmup learning scheduler, reportedly achieved training and validation statistics comparable to single-GPU runs, even with up to 8,000 mini-batches. AI
