Scaling AI Training Across Thousands of H100 GPUs
By

There's three parts. 1. Fitting as large of a network and as large of a batch-size as possible onto the 10k/100k/1m H100s — parallelizing and using memory-saving tricks.
2. Communicating state between these GPUs as quickly as possible
3. Recovering from failures (hardware, -
MongoDB Schema Modeling: Beyond Schemaless Myth
By

Challenge accepted! I think my point would be that you can model your data in MongoDB as you would in PG. there are good reasons why documents could get you farther, depending on the workload, but this idea of "schemaless" MongoDB has always been wrong. There's always schema.
