PyTorch FSDP Expert

Acerca de

The PyTorch FSDP skill provides specialized technical guidance for implementing and debugging Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) training. It assists developers in managing parameter sharding, mixed precision settings, and CPU offloading to efficiently train large-scale models that exceed single-GPU memory capacity. By leveraging official documentation and best practices, it helps configure distributed backends like NCCL, handle uneven inputs via the Join context manager, and implement modern FSDP2 patterns for high-performance AI model training.
