Integrated Hardware Architecture and Device Placement Search
Distributed execution of deep learning training involves a dynamic interplay between hardware accelerator architecture and device placement strategy.
Forecasting GPU Performance for Deep Learning Training and Inference
To address these questions, we introduce NeuSight, a framework to predict the performance of various deep learning models, for both training and inference, on unseen GPUs without requiring actual execution.
Packrat: Automatic Reconfiguration for Latency Minimization in CPU-based DNN Serving
We present Packrat, a new serving system for online inference that given a model and batch size ($B$) algorithmically picks the optimal number of instances ($i$), the number of threads each should be allocated ($t$), and the batch sizes each should operate on ($b$) that minimizes latency.
A Study on the Intersection of GPU Utilization and CNN Inference
Achieving high GPU utilization is critical to increasing application-level throughput and ensuring a good return on investment for deploying GPUs.
Harmony: Overcoming the Hurdles of GPU Memory Capacity to Train Massive DNN Models on Commodity Servers
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have grown exponentially in size over the past decade, leaving only those who have massive datacenter-based resources with the ability to develop and train such models.
Piper: Multidimensional Planner for DNN Parallelization
The rapid increase in sizes of state-of-the-art DNN models, and consequently the increase in the compute and memory requirements of model training, has led to the development of many execution schemes such as data parallelism, pipeline model parallelism, tensor (intra-layer) model parallelism, and various memory-saving optimizations.
Synergy: Resource Sensitive DNN Scheduling in Multi-Tenant Clusters
Unfortunately, these schedulers do not consider the impact of a job's sensitivity to allocation of CPU, memory, and storage resources.
Efficient Large-Scale Language Model Training on GPU Clusters Using Megatron-LM
In this paper, we show how different types of parallelism methods (tensor, pipeline, and data parallelism) can be composed to scale to thousands of GPUs and models with trillions of parameters.

We analyze nine different models across three tasks and four datasets while varying factors such as the amount of memory, number of CPU threads, storage device, GPU generation etc on servers that are a part of a large production cluster at Microsoft.
Efficient Algorithms for Device Placement of DNN Graph Operators
However, for such settings (large models and multiple heterogeneous devices), we require automated algorithms and toolchains that can partition the ML workload across devices.
Memory-Efficient Pipeline-Parallel DNN Training
Many state-of-the-art ML results have been obtained by scaling up the number of parameters in existing models.

Model parameter synchronization across GPUs introduces high overheads for data-parallel training at scale.
The Non-IID Data Quagmire of Decentralized Machine Learning
Our study shows that: (i) skewed data labels are a fundamental and pervasive problem for decentralized learning, causing significant accuracy loss across many ML applications, DNN models, training datasets, and decentralized learning algorithms; (ii) the problem is particularly challenging for DNN models with batch normalization; and (iii) the degree of data skew is a key determinant of the difficulty of the problem.

Parameter Hub: a Rack-Scale Parameter Server for Distributed Deep Neural Network Training
Distributed deep neural network (DDNN) training constitutes an increasingly important workload that frequently runs in the cloud.
TBD: Benchmarking and Analyzing Deep Neural Network Training
Our primary goal in this work is to break this myopic view by (i) proposing a new benchmark for DNN training, called TBD (TBD is short for Training Benchmark for DNNs), that uses a representative set of DNN models that cover a wide range of machine learning applications: image classification, machine translation, speech recognition, object detection, adversarial networks, reinforcement learning, and (ii) by performing an extensive performance analysis of training these different applications on three major deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, MXNet, CNTK) across different hardware configurations (single-GPU, multi-GPU, and multi-machine).
