Level Parallelism
Level parallelism focuses on maximizing computational efficiency by distributing workloads across multiple processing units, addressing the limitations of sequential processing in computationally intensive tasks. Current research emphasizes efficient strategies for distributing tasks across GPUs and other accelerators, including novel algorithms like elastic sequence parallelism for variable-length requests and partition-parallelism techniques for graph-based computations. These advancements are significantly impacting fields like machine learning, scientific computing, and optimization, enabling faster training of large models, quicker solution of complex problems, and more efficient utilization of high-performance computing resources. The development of tools and frameworks to automate and optimize the parallelization process is also a key area of focus.
