Megatron-LM splits models across GPUs for training

A 2019 NVIDIA paper describes using model parallelism to train language models with billions of parameters by distributing weights across GPUs when they do not fit on one.

What happened and what to do

NVIDIA’s 2019 paper, presented on the page on April 23, 2026, describes using model parallelism to train language models with billions of parameters. The technique splits model weights across GPUs, making training possible when they do not fit on a single GPU.

A company considering training its own models could assess memory and infrastructure requirements and test a distributed setup before expanding its investment. This work could include metrics collection, training monitoring, and dashboards for tracking GPU usage and experiment progress.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can assess training requirements and available infrastructure, propose a scoped distributed implementation, and support the operation of metrics collection and monitoring.
