In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and machine learning, Platform and Data Infrastructure Teams face critical challenges in building and managing large-scale AI platforms. Performance bottlenecks, scalability of the platform, and scarcity of GPUs pose significant challenges in supporting large-scale model training and serving.
In this talk, we introduce how Alluxio helps Platform and Data Infrastructure teams deliver faster, more scalable platforms to ML Engineering teams developing and training AI models. Alluxio’s highly-distributed cache accelerates AI workloads by eliminating data loading bottlenecks and maximizing GPU utilization. Customers report up to 4x faster training performance with high-speed access to petabytes of data spread across billions of files regardless of persistent storage type or proximity to GPU clusters. Alluxio’s architecture lowers data infrastructure costs, increases GPU utilization, and enables workload portability for navigating GPU scarcity challenges.
TorchTitan is a proof-of-concept for Large-scale LLM training using native PyTorch. It is a repo that showcases PyTorch's latest distributed training features in a clean, minimal codebase.
In this talk, Tianyu will share TorchTitan’s design and optimizations for the Llama 3.1 family of LLMs, spanning 8 billion to 405 billion parameters, and showcase its performance, composability, and scalability.
As large-scale machine learning becomes increasingly GPU-centric, modern high-performance hardware like NVMe storage and RDMA networks (InfiniBand or specialized NICs) are becoming more widespread. To fully leverage these resources, it’s crucial to build a balanced architecture that avoids GPU underutilization. In this talk, we will explore various strategies to address this challenge by effectively utilizing these advanced hardware components. Specifically, we will present experimental results from building a Kubernetes-native distributed caching layer, utilizing NVMe storage and high-speed RDMA networks to optimize data access for PyTorch training.
