Decision brief
Decisions for DeepSpeed use are driven by its capacity to handle large models efficiently using techniques such as data parallelism, model parallelism, pipeline parallelism, and compression.
Good fit when
- - When training or inferring with PyTorch on large datasets or complex deep learning models (up to trillion parameters)
- - For efficient distributed training requiring specific optimizations like ZeRO, which significantly reduces memory usage for massive models
Avoid when
- - When you are working in an environment that only supports CPU-based training without access to CUDA or ROCm compatible GPUs
- - If your project's PyTorch version is less than 2.0, DeepSpeed may not support all of its features and optimizations effectively

README
Installation The quickest way to get started with DeepSpeed is via pip, this will install the latest release of DeepSpeed which is not tied to specific PyTorch or CUDA versions. DeepSpeed includes several C++/CUDA extensions that we commonly refer to as our 'ops'. By default, all...
