Distributed Training APIs

SageMaker distributed training libraries offer both data parallel and model parallel training strategies. They combine software and hardware technologies to improve inter-GPU and inter-node communications. They extend SageMaker’s training capabilities with built-in options that require only small code changes to your training scripts.
