Points to remember prior to consider VPC as Design Choice

Before deciding to dive into VPC, you should be aware of some of the difficulties in that move.
SSH to private subnet 

 The nodes in the private subnet are not internet addressable. That obviously means you can’t SSH into them without already being in the VPC network. 

 There are two options for this: 

 SSH into a node on the public subnet, then SSH into a private node, or 

 Set up a VPN in order to access all the nodes by their private addresses. We decided to deploy a VPN for ease of use.

 Elastic IPs for public addressability 

 Even if you launch a node in a public subnet, it will not get a public IP or hostname like EC2. 

 The only way to make it publicly addressable is to assign an elastic IP to the node. Elastic IPs are free, of course, but you are limited to 5 per VPC, so plan accordingly.

 VPC to VPC communication is non-trivial 

 If you’re attempting to have one VPC communicate with nodes in another VPC, get ready to buckle up because its a bumpy ride. 

 The reasoning behind why you would want to do such a thing and how it can be done will be covered in a future blog post, but general awareness that this is difficult should be known ahead of time.

What's replicated, what's not?

Logged operations are replicated. These include, but are not limited to: DDL DML Create/alter table space Create/alter storage group Create/alter buffer pool XML data. Logged LOBs Not logged operations are not replicated. These include, but are not limited to: Database configuration parameters (this allows primary and standby databases to be configured differently). "Not logged initially" tables Not logged LOBs UDF (User Defined Function) libraries. UDF DDL is replicated. But the libraries used by UDF (such as C or Java libraries)  are not replicated, because they are not stored in the database. Users must manually copy the libraries to the standby. Note: You can use database configuration parameter  BLOCKNONLOGGED  to block not logged operations on the primary.

What is Tensor Parallelism and relationship between Buffer and GPU

  Tensor Parallelism in GPU Tensor parallelism is a technique used to distribute the computation of large tensor operations across multiple GPUs or multiple cores within a GPU .   It is an essential method for improving the performance and scalability of deep learning models, particularly when dealing with very large models that cannot fit into the memory of a single GPU. Key Concepts Tensor Operations : Tensors are multidimensional arrays used extensively in deep learning. Common tensor operations include matrix multiplication, convolution, and element-wise operations. Parallelism : Parallelism involves dividing a task into smaller sub-tasks that can be executed simultaneously. This approach leverages the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs to speed up computations. How Tensor Parallelism Works Splitting Tensors : The core idea of tensor parallelism is to split large tensors into smaller chunks that can be processed in parallel. Each chunk is assigned to a different GP...

What is the benefit of using Quantization in LLM

Quantization is a technique used in LLMs (Large Language Models) to reduce the memory requirements for storing and training the model parameters. It involves reducing the precision of the model weights from 32-bit floating-point numbers (FP32) to lower precision formats, such as 16-bit floating-point numbers (FP16) or 8-bit integers (INT8). Bottomline: You can use Quantization to reduce the memory footprint off the model during the training. The usage of quantization in LLMs offers several benefits: Memory Reduction: By reducing the precision of the model weights, quantization significantly reduces the memory footprint required to store the parameters. This is particularly important for LLMs, which can have billions or even trillions of parameters. Quantization allows these models to fit within the memory constraints of GPUs or other hardware accelerators. Training Efficiency: Quantization can also improve the training efficiency of LLMs. Lower precision formats require fewer computati...
