• Technique: 3D Parallelism (Data, Pipeline, and Tensor Parallelism).
• Tools: The PDF would teach you PyTorch Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) and FairScale (Meta’s library) or DeepSpeed (Microsoft).
• The "2021 Specific" Hack: Gradient Accumulation. You simulated a batch size of 512 using 8 GPUs each doing micro-batches of 64. Without this, your model would diverge.

def forward(self, x): h0 = torch.zeros(1, x.size(0), self.hidden_dim).to(x.device) c0 = torch.zeros(1, x.size(0), self.hidden_dim).to(x.device)

Once the data is collected, it needs to be preprocessed to prepare it for training. This includes:
