Researchers have developed a new method to reparametrize Shampoo and SOAP algorithms, improving their efficiency for training neural networks. This technique supports BFloat16 storage, which reduces memory usage, and mitigates performance degradation often associated with this storage format. By updating only a subspace of the basis vectors, the approach significantly cuts down computational overhead, making Shampoo-based methods more time- and memory-efficient, particularly for large preconditioning matrices.
