Overview of this book

This book, written by an HPC expert with over 25 years of experience, guides you through enhancing model training performance using PyTorch. Here you’ll learn how model complexity impacts training time and discover performance tuning levels to expedite the process, as well as utilize PyTorch features, specialized libraries, and efficient data pipelines to optimize training on CPUs and accelerators. You’ll also reduce model complexity, adopt mixed precision, and harness the power of multicore systems and multi-GPU environments for distributed training. By the end, you'll be equipped with techniques and strategies to speed up training and focus on building stunning models.

Deconstructing the Training Process

We already know that training neural network models takes a long time to finish. Otherwise, we would not be here discussing ways to run this process faster. But which characteristics make the building process of these models so computationally heavy? Why does the training step take so long? To answer these questions, we need to understand the computational burden of the training phase.

In this chapter, we will first remember how the training phase works under the hood. We will understand what makes the training process so computationally heavy.

Here is what you will learn as part of this first chapter:

  • Remembering the training process
  • Understanding the computational burden of the training phase
  • Understanding the factors that influence training time
