As today’s deep learning models expand exponentially, so do their parameters, growing by orders of magnitude. The solution for processing those models in a timely manner:  distributed training.  This article recounts how a research team distributed its deep learning recommender model (DLRM) by using PyTorch with different backends, to reveal an 8.5X performance increase training AI topologies with the Intel oneAPI Collective Communications Library (oneCCL) backend.  The Intel oneCCL, designed to promote compatibility and enable developer productivity, assists developers and researchers to train new, more complex models employing optimized communication patterns to distribute model training across multiple nodes.
