AI BriefingGaudi2 accelerates BridgeTower fine-tuning by 2.5x
Key point
Fine-tuning BridgeTower on Habana Gaudi2 achieved 2.5x faster performance compared to A100.
Details
Fine-tuning the vision-language model BridgeTower on Habana Gaudi2 via Optimum Habana v1.7 achieved performance 2.5x faster than NVIDIA A100 and 1.4x faster than H100.
This performance improvement is the result of optimizing the data loading bottleneck through hardware-accelerated data loading technology, which is also applicable to various vision models constrained by data loading.
BridgeTower is a model that places bridge layers between unimodal encoders and cross-modal encoders to align and fuse visual and text representations at various semantic levels.
Habana Gaudi2 is Intel/Habana Labs' second-generation AI accelerator, and using Optimum Habana allows existing Transformers-compatible scripts to be easily ported with just two lines of code modification.
