A step-by-step guide to implementing a generic gradient accumulation mechanism — In another article, we covered what is gradient accumulation in deep learning and how it can solve issues when running neural networks with large batch sizes. In this article, we will first see how you can easily use the generic gradient accumulation tool we implemented and used at Run:AI. Then…

Backpropagation process of neural networks explained — In another article, we addressed the problem of batch size being limited by GPU memory, and how gradient accumulation helps in overcoming this. In this post, we will first examine the backpropagation process of a neural network and then go through the technical and algorithmic details of gradient accumulation. …

Overcoming the problem of batch size and available GPU memory in training neural networks — In this article, we’ll talk about batch sizing issues one may encounter while training neural networks using large batch sizes and being limited by GPU memory. The problem: batch size being limited by available GPU memory When building deep learning models, we have to choose batch size — along with other hyperparameters. Batch size plays a major role in the…
