  "summary": "The symbiotic scaling of artificial intelligence models and high-performance computing systems continually creates algorithmic challenges in their convergence. Foundation models (FMs) are a crucial example, requiring months-long training on thousands of cutting-edge GPUs. Sharded data parallelism (DP) is the dominant strategy to accelerate such computations by splitting data and models across…",
