What's new
provide a memory efficient way to init model distributedly.
During ColoInitContext, it initializes 1/N parameter on each process.
Then, during
tensor_parallelize
, it changes the process group, distspec for tensor parallel.So during the initialization phase, the overall memory requirement is just one copy of the model.
