Embodiment Construction

[0040] It should be noted that in the deep neural network model in the field of natural language processing, the common acceleration methods for distributed training include: data parallelism, model parallelism, and pipeline parallelism:

[0041] Data parallelism means that each device stores a copy of the model parameters, divides the training data into several parts and inputs them into the model for training, and regularly synchronizes the training results of each device to achieve the purpose of collaborative training. The disadvantage of this method is: the amount of data that needs to be communicated during synchronization is large, and the overhead of synchronization will slow down the training speed, which is more obvious in the distributed training of large-scale nodes. In addition, the storage space of the device needs to be larger than the size of the model, which requires high hardware conditions.

[0042]Model parallelism is a parallel method for large-scale neura...

Abstract

The invention discloses a parallel computing method and device for a natural language processing model, equipment and a medium. In the scheme, a plurality of computing devices in different computing node groups are trained in an assembly line parallel mode, different computing node groups are subjected to gradient sharing in a data parallel mode, the assembly lines can be controlled in a certain number of nodes in a parallel mode, and the problem that in large-scale computing node training, the number of the nodes is too large is avoided. And the method can be effectively suitable for parallel training of a large-scale network model on large-scale computing nodes. Moreover, according to the scheme, the synchronous communication between the computing node groups is hidden in the pipeline parallel computing process, so that each computing node group can enter the next iterative computation as soon as possible after the iterative computation is finished, and the processing efficiency of the natural language processing model can be improved on the basis of ensuring the processing effect of the natural language processing model in this way. The calculation time of natural language processing model training is shortened, and the efficiency of distributed training is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of natural language processing, and more specifically, relates to a parallel computing method, device, equipment and medium of a natural language processing model. Background technique [0002] The natural language processing model is a deep neural network model in the field of natural language processing, which is mainly used to realize functions such as language translation and question answering. As the number of model parameters continues to increase, model training becomes a very time-consuming task. In the training process of the neural network, the training data needs to be input into the neural network in batches for calculation, and the parameters of the neural network are updated iteratively until the output of the neural network is more accurate to achieve the desired effect, such as: the translated language is more accurate, the answer The question is more reasonable. [0003] However, ...
