01 — Problem
What was hard about this
Training on 32GB+ datasets was bottlenecked by single-GPU processing and inefficient data loading that wasted compute time.
02 — Solution
How it works
Engineered a multi-GPU pipeline using PyTorch DDP across 3 GPUs with parallelized gradient synchronization. Built an ETL pipeline with HDF5 compression and parallel feature extraction to eliminate I/O bottlenecks. Monitored with Weights & Biases dashboards.
03 — Impact
What shipped
- 39% reduction in training time via multi-GPU parallelization
- 25x faster data loading with HDF5 compression pipeline
- 25% improved GPU utilization through batch size tuning
- Real-time experiment tracking with Weights & Biases
