      [feat] ShardedDataParallel with autoreduce (#157) · ad933b34
      Benjamin Lefaudeux authored
      * rewrite using autograd and Variable execution queue to make the reduce automatic
      * share buckets with OSS to remove duplication
      * some speed still likely on the table since the speed vs. bucketing does not match expectations, could be a follow up

      Single-process control via PipeRPCWrapper (#156) · 5d4f50fb
      Tom Birch authored
      Adds support for:
      * Reused layers (e.g. for weight sharing)
      * Lazily-constructed layers
      * Single-process control via PipeRPCWrapper
      * PipelineStyle.AsyncScheudle, which lays the foundation for asynchronous pipeline work by introducing an event loop for each rank/worker to process either activations or gradients as they arrive
      
      Also added examples for multi-process and PipeRPCWrapper

      Multi-process pipe (#90) · 63f7796a
      Tom Birch authored
      Adds support for distributing pipeline stages across multiple processes (and therefore multiple machines)
      * Adds a style argument to the Pipe constructor, defaulting to PipelineStyle.SingleProcess, but also supporting PipelineStyle.MultiProcess
      * Added support for lazy construction of modules (see lazy_construction for an example)
      * Added two implementations of inter-process communication: one based on rpc with globally visible queues, one based on send/recv
      * Copied all the relevant tests from tests/pipe to tests/pipe_process and modified them to exercise PipelineStyle.MultiProcess

      Add grad scaler (#48) · b6a5e634
      Jun Ru Anderson authored
      
      
      Add GradScaler to Fairscale, subclassing PyTorch's GradScaler. Use GradScaler in the pipe benchmark; though it is not needed in this case, it is a good example of how to use gradient scaling for larger models that do require gradient scaling in order to converge.
