3.2.1 DualPipe and Computation-Communication Overlap

  1. What problem does DualPipe solve?
    Cross-node expert parallelism made communication about as costly as computation (roughly 1:1). DualPipe splits forward and backward chunks into attention, all-to-all dispatch, MLP and all-to-all combine, and interleaves a forward and a backward chunk so communication is hidden behind computation, while feeding micro-batches from both ends of the pipeline to reduce bubbles.
