As model sizes continue to scale, distributed training has become inevitable. Automatic parallelization techniques can derive efficient training parallelism strategies at low cost while achieving supe...
The paper reports an empirical scalability study of data‑parallel training for Kolmogorov‑Arnold Networks (KANs) on high‑performance computing systems. Using up to eight NVIDIA A100 GPUs across four nodes on the FinisTerrae III supercomputer, the authors evaluate strong and weak scaling, communication overhead, and model‑size scaling, finding a 74.7% parallel efficiency and a 5.97× speedup at eight GPUs. They observe non‑monotonic communication costs driven by All‑Reduce choices and inter‑node latency, and note that while the parameter‑to‑memory ratio improves with larger models, training time scales less favorably, leading to guidelines for GPU topology and model‑size selection.
