arXiv:2607. 13332v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language models at the multi-billion to trillion parameter scale is confined to datacenters, where data-parallel (DP) and model-parallel (MP) techniques presume homogeneous accelerators, high-speed interconnects, and a single orchestrating entity.

State-of-the-art large language model (LLM) training takes tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) for months and encounters failures across the software and hardware stack. Existing fault-tolerance mechanisms either impose non-trivial overhead during failure-free execution or suffer from prolonged recovery latency, particularly under scenarios where a small subset of compute nodes experience permanent failures.

The paper introduces REACT, a system that dynamically tunes communication collectives in distributed AI training to mitigate congestion without requiring network infrastructure changes. REACT operates at the application layer, detecting congestion via flow statistics and adjusting the pattern of data exchange—such as selecting different aggregation nodes in an AllReduce tree—while preserving the semantics of the communication. Evaluations on a shared academic GPU cluster show that REACT improves algorithm bandwidth by 13%–38% under congestion, with simulations indicating potential gains up to 75%.
