Another use case for training on many GPUs is if the model does not fit on a single GPU with all the mentioned tricks. There are still more methods we can apply although life starts to get a bit more complicated. This usually involves some form of pipeline or tensor parallelism where the model itself is distributed across several GPUs. One can also make use of DeepSpeed which implements some of these parallelism strategies along with some more optimization to reduce the memory footprint such as partitioning the optimizer states. You can read more about this in the ["Multi-GPU training" section](perf_train_gpu_many).

TorchDynamo is a new tracer that uses Python’s frame evaluation API to automatically create FX traces from existing PyTorch programs. After capturing the FX graph, different backends can be deployed to lower the graph to an optimized engine. One solution is using the [TensorRT](https://developer.nvidia.com/tensorrt) or NVFuser as backend. You can choose one option below for performance boost.
