Researchers have introduced a new parallel execution strategy called Tensor and Sequence Parallelism (TSP) designed to enhance memory efficiency during the training and inference of Transformer models. TSP combines tensor parallelism, which shards model weights, with sequence parallelism, which shards tokens, onto a single device axis. This approach reduces both parameter and activation memory, offering a hardware-aware alternative for training large models with long contexts or in memory-constrained environments. AI
