If you remember my work on MAMF - to find the realistic TFLOPS achievable ceiling - the Intel AI team has shared their measurements and they scored ...
an incredible 99.4% TFLOPS efficiency for Gaudi 2!
That's quite amazing! Your ROI on these accelerators will be very high.
The full table is here: https://github.com/stas00/ml-engineering/tree/master/compute/accelerator#maximum-achievable-matmul-flops-comparison-table
As we have seen the competitors get their achievable efficiency worse with each new generation, I'm looking forward to see if Gaudi 3 will keep the high bar!
Thanks to Avi Rubin, Lakshman Chari, Imtiaz Sajwani, Ramy J and Zhiqi Tao for helping to get these numbers to the community.

The Universal Checkpointing paper is out! https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.18820
If you remember the Bigscience BLOOM-176B training, Tunji Ruwase and I co-invented this technology for Megatron-Deepspeed in order to enable to quickly scale up and down node topology while continuing training.
Since then the DeepSpeed team continued improving on that and it has now been fully integrated into Deepspeed.

A combined effort from the IBM + Pytorch teams achieved an incredible training performance with ZeRO/FSDP on par with 3D parallelism on H100s, while having just 800Gbps inter-node connection.
This is because they got an almost full overlap between comms and compute and have introduced a novel selective activation recomputation method which recalculates only large but inexpensive activations.

If you're trying to run MoE Mixtral-8x7b under DeepSpeed w/ HF Transformers it's likely to hang on the first forward.
The solution is here https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed/pull/4966?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US#issuecomment-1989671378
and you need deepspeed>=0.13.0
Thanks to Masahiro Tanaka for the fix.

Hear, hear, AMD MI300Xs have started to emerge much sooner than expected.
Here is a 2-part benchmarks report on performing BLOOM-176B inference using @MSFTDeepSpeed optimized for AMD MI300X.
1. https://www.evp.cloud/post/diving-deeper-insights-from-our-llm-inference-testing
2. https://www.evp.cloud/post/diving-deeper-insights-from-our-llm-inference-testing-part-2
This was published in response to our BLOOM-176B super-fast inference blog post https://huggingface.co/blog/bloom-inference-pytorch-scripts
Note that these have 192GB of HBM!
The NVIDIA monopoly is strong, but it'll have to start sharing the pie and hopefully drive the costs down at least somewhat.
Thanks to https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliovp for sharing this writeup with me.
p.s. at the PyTorch conference in the fall, the AMD representative said we will see MI300X available to us mortals in Q4-2024/Q1-2025.

Thank you for the kind words, Jeff!
We are still waiting for BLOOM v2.0 from HF!
