Project

Democratise Deep Learning Through Algorithmic Optimisation

Recently, deep learning models have grown in performance and in size. For example, Llama-3 has 408 billion parameters, while Google’s PaLM has over 500 billion parameters. They can no longer be trained or deployed on regular computers. For example, the electricity used to train GPT-3 is equivalent of an entire suburb’s electricity consumption over a month.

That means most people won’t have the resources to train or run large-scale deep learning models. In order to let deep learning models to run on regular computers again, we need to use the computation resources more efficiently.

You will focus on:

- explore an LLM inference framework called SGL (https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang)

- understand how it works(go deep into its research paper)

- setup it and document the steps.

- write a script to do inference with it. Benchmark the speed of it and document the result.
