Inside TensorFlow: tfdistributeStrategy

Course Overview

1. You can learn about the different implementations of TensorFlow's tfdistributeStrategy, such as data parallelism, parameter servers and workers, central storage, mirrored variables, all-reduce algorithm, ring all-reduce, hierarchical all-reduce, and one device strategy.


2. You can learn how to use the tfdistributeStrategy with both Keras and Estimator, and understand the differences between mirrored and per-replica values.


3. You can learn how to use the tfdistributeStrategy to support computations, and understand the concept of modes and the default strategy.


4. You can learn how to use the tfdistributeStrategy to update state, and understand the concept of replica vs. variable locality. You can also learn how to use the merge_call(fn, args) function to average loss using the global batch size.


5. You can learn how to use the tfdistributeStrategy to calculate a mean metric, and understand the example provided.
