## ⛮ General Compute Considerations

We currently support both DistributedDataParallel (DDP) and ZeRO from DeepSpeed.

**TL;DR**: 
- **DDP** is useful when a model can fit in GPU memory (this includes gradients and activation states).
- **ZeRO** is useful when a model requires sharding across multiple GPUs.

**Longer Version**:

- **DDP**: Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) creates a replica of the model on each processor (GPU). For example, imagine 8 GPUs, each being fed a single data point—this would make a batch size of 8. The model replicas are then updated on each device. DDP speeds up training by parallelizing the data-feeding process. However, DDP **fails** if the replica cannot fit in GPU memory. Remember, the memory not only hosts parameters but also gradients and optimizer states.

- **ZeRO**: ZeRO is a powerful optimization developed by DeepSpeed and comes in different stages (1, 2, and 3). Each stage shards different parts of the training process (parameters, gradients, and activation states). This is really useful if a model cannot fit in GPU memory. ZeRO also supports offloading to the CPU, making even more room for training larger models.

### Example Scenarios and Appropriate Optimization Methods:
1. **LLaMA-3-8b model with 16-bit precision**: Use ZeRO Stage 3 on 8 A100s.
2. **LLaMA-3-8b model with LoRA adapters**: Usually fine with DDP on A100s.
3. **GPT-2 with 16-bit precision**: Use DDP.

## 🪲 FAQs

**Issue: RuntimeError: Error building extension 'cpu_adam' python dev**

This error occurs when `python-dev` is not installed, and ZeRO is using offload. To resolve this, try:

```bash
# Try sudo apt-get install python3-dev if the following fails.
apt-get install python-dev   # for Python 2.x installs
apt-get install python3-dev  # for Python 3.x installs
```
