What is distributed model training synchronization strategy?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

Synchronization strategies coordinate gradient updates across multiple training nodes.

Deep explanation

Distributed training requires synchronizing gradients or parameters across GPUs/servers. Common strategies include synchronous training (all-reduce), asynchronous training (parameter servers), and hybrid approaches. Synchronization impacts convergence speed, fault tolerance, and communication overhead.
