Key Points
- Explains how to scale deep learning training across multiple machines using PyTorch Distributed Data Parallel (DDP), with a focus on production-ready engineering practices.
- Describes how to set up multi-node communication using NCCL process groups and coordinate each process correctly across hosts.
- Covers core mechanics of distributed training such as gradient synchronization and how DDP keeps model updates consistent.
- Emphasizes practical, code-driven steps and considerations needed to run stable multi-node jobs beyond a local or single-node setup.
