If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

Distributed Training in Deep Learning using PyTorch: A Handy Tutorial

#artificialintelligenceJan-4-2022, 09:05:39 GMT

PyTorch has built-in packages which support distributed training. There are two approaches for running a distributed training in PyTorch. DDP always trains models faster than DP; however, it requires more lines of code change to the single-GPU code, namely, code change for the model, optimizer, and the backpropagation step. Based on our experience, the good news is that DDP could save a significant amount of train time by utilizing all GPUs at almost 100% of memory usage across multiple nodes. In the following paragraphs, we elaborate on how to use DP and DDP by providing an example for each method.
