SageMaker Distributed Data Parallelism (SMDDP)

Introduction In the realm of machine learning, the ability to train models effectively and efficiently stands as a cornerstone of success. As datasets grow exponentially and models become more complex, traditional single-node training methods increasingly fall short. This is where distributed training enters the picture, offering a scalable solution to this growing challenge. Distributed Training Overview Distributed training is a technique used to train machine learning models on large datasets more efficiently. By splitting the workload across multiple compute nodes, it significantly reduces training time. There are two main strategies in distributed training: data parallelism, where the dataset is partitioned [...]
