AMDP: Asynchronous Multi-Directional Pipeline Parallelism for Large-Scale Models Training

Pipeline parallelism is essential for large-scale model training, but existing asynchronous approaches often degrade convergence due to parameter mismatch between forward and backward passes. We propose Asynchronous Multi-Directional Pipeline parallelism (AMDP) to mitigate this issue while sustainin…
