AI training optimizer cuts AllReduce latency by 36% on NVIDIA GPUs

Researchers have developed a novel multi-agent system to optimize collective communication libraries (CCL) for large-scale distributed AI/ML training. This system uses a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to detect network contention and a Dueling Double DQN with Conservative Q-Learning to dynamically adjust CCL configurations. Implemented over NVIDIA's NCCL, the optimizer demonstrated significant latency reductions, achieving up to 65% speedups on AI workloads running on the Delta cluster with NVIDIA A100 GPUs. AI

IMPACT Optimizes distributed training infrastructure, potentially accelerating large-scale AI model development and deployment.

    Network Contention State Aware Dynamic Optimizer for Accelerator Collective Communication Libraries

    Collective Communication Libraries (CCL) are critical for large-scale distributed AI/ML training, yet their configurations are determined by static heuristics that do not account for real-time network conditions. Our empirical study shows that these heuristics perform near-optima…
