Pipeline Parallelism

Splits model layers across devices and processes micro-batches through a staged pipeline. Compares pipelined vs sequential execution and visualizes the schedule as an ASCII Gantt chart.

CLI Equivalent

Key Concepts

  • Layer partitioning across multiple devices
  • Micro-batch scheduling through pipeline stages
  • Pipelined vs sequential throughput comparison
