HybridBackend
HybridBackend is a high-performance framework for training wide-and-deep recommender systems on heterogeneous cluster.
Features
- Memory-efficient loading of categorical data
- GPU-efficient orchestration of embedding layers
- Communication-efficient training and evaluation at scale
- Easy to use with existing AI workflows
Usage
A minimal example:
import tensorflow as tf
import hybridbackend.tensorflow as hb
ds = hb.data.Dataset.from_parquet(filenames)
ds = ds.batch(batch_size)
# ...
with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
embs = tf.nn.embedding_lookup_sparse(weights, input_ids)
# ...Please see documentation for more information.
