[R] TorchScale: Transformers at Scale - Microsoft 2022 Shuming Ma et al - Improves modeling generality and capability, as well as training stability and efficiency.
I skimmed through the README and paper. What does this library have that that hasn't been included in xformers or fairscale?

[D] DeepSpeed vs PyTorch native API
Things are slowly moving into PyTorch upstream such as the ZeRO redundancy optimizer but from my experience the team behind DeepSpeed just move faster. There is also fairscale from the FAIR team which seems to be a staging ground for experimental optimizations before they move into PyTorch. If you use Lightning, it's easy enough to try out these various libraries (docs here)

How to Train Large Models on Many GPUs?
DeepSpeed [1] is amazing tool to enable the different kind of parallelisms and optimizations on your model. I would definitely not recommend reimplementing everything yourself.
Probably FairScale [2] too, but never tried it myself.

[P] PyTorch Lightning Multi-GPU Training Visualization using minGPT, from 250 Million to 4+ Billion Parameters
It was helpful for me to see how DeepSpeed/FairScale stack up compared to vanilla PyTorch Distributed Training specifically when trying to reach larger parameter sizes, visualizing the trade off with throughput. A lot of the learnings ended up in the Lightning Documentation under the advanced GPU docs!
