How does distributed training work in ML systems?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Distributed training splits model training across multiple GPUs or machines.
Deep explanation
It uses data parallelism or model parallelism. Data parallelism replicates the model across nodes and splits data batches. Gradients are aggregated using all-reduce operations. This reduces training time significantly for large datasets.
