V0.1.2 Released!

on GitHub

Overview

Here are the main improvements of this release:

1. MOE and BERT models can be trained with ZeRO.
2. Provide a uniform checkpoint for all kinds of parallelism.
3. Optimize ZeRO-offload, and improve model scaling.
4. Design a uniform model memory tracer.
5. Implement an efficient hybrid Adam (CPU and CUDA kernels).
6. Improve activation offloading.
7. Profiler TensorBoard plugin of Beta version.
8. Refactor pipeline module for closer integration with engine.
9. Chinese tutorials, WeChat and Slack user groups.
