- """
- A helper class to support local SGD on top of Accelerator. It simply runs a given number of updates independently
- on each device, and averages model weights every K synchronization step.
- It should be used only in the multi-GPU (or multi-CPU) setup without extensions such as DeepSpeed. In particular,
- this is a simple implementation that cannot support scenarios such as model parallelism.
- Although we are not aware of the true origins of this simple approach, the idea of local SGD is quite old and goes
- back to at least:
- Zhang, J., De Sa, C., Mitliagkas, I., & Ré, C. (2016). [Parallel SGD: When does averaging help?. arXiv preprint
- arXiv:1606.07365.](https://huggingface.co/papers/1606.07365)
- We credit the term Local SGD to the following paper (but there might be earlier references we are not aware of).
- Stich, Sebastian Urban. ["Local SGD Converges Fast and Communicates Little." ICLR 2019-International Conference on
- Learning Representations. No. CONF. 2019.](https://huggingface.co/papers/1805.09767)
