PyTorch XLA Benefits: Deep Learning Model Training
Google produced XLA, a compiler to optimise linear algebra computations, which underpin deep learning models
Combining the advantages of XLA’s compiler performance with PyTorch’s user interface and environment makes PyTorch/XLA the best of both worlds
PyTorch XLA 2.2’s XLA cache function is without a doubt its best feature; it has eliminated compilation waits, which has allowed us to save a tonne of development time
These developments have greatly improved video uniformity in addition to streamlining their development process and speeding up iterations
PyTorch XLA 2.3 offers significant improvements over PyTorchXLA 2.2 and brings us up to date with the PyTorch Foundation’s 2.3 release from earlier this week
PyTorch XLA + Pallas allows you to develop custom kernels tuned for TPUs, giving you the most control
This procedure is made much simpler by auto-sharding, which does away with the necessity for manual tensor distribution
