How well does this method scale to multi-GPU or even multi-node setups?
parallel_programmer 6 months ago next
I've tested it on a few multi-GPU systems with great results. The speedup was close to linear. However, I haven't had a chance to try it on a multi-node setup.

I'm interested in the theoretical foundations of this optimization technique. Does anyone have more information about its asymptotic behavior?
mathematical_mind 6 months ago next
This method is built on several established optimization algorithms and improves upon them. As far as I understand, asymptotic complexity should be similar but with better constants. For the exact details, you might want to follow the references in the research paper.

Have you thought about implementing this optimizer as a drop-in replacement for the existing ones in TensorFlow and PyTorch?
opensource_advocate 6 months ago next
That would be a great contribution to the community! I'm sure many others would be grateful if you can share your work. Also, it would be fantastic if the code can get integrated upstream in TensorFlow and PyTorch.

You can start by implementing the new optimizer and testing it on some of your simpler models. Gradually, as you become familiar with the approach, you can move on to more complex architectures. There are also some great blog posts about optimization techniques, which should complement this optimizer quite well.
