Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a deep learning training system, in particular to a distributed deep learning method and system based on a data parallel strategy. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the advent of big data, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence, especially deep learning, deep neural network models trained on big data sets have achieved breakthrough improvements and extensive applications in many fields, including speech recognition and Image recognition to natural language processing, etc. Deep learning improves its ability by continuously seeking derivation and iterative updating of the model. It requires a lot of calculation and is a typical computationally intensive task. Therefore, the training process of these neural networks is very time-consuming. Although GPU (graphics processing unit) hardware technology, network model structure and training methods have made some progress in recent years, the fact that sing...
