arXiv:2606.03498v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training modern machine learning models increasingly requires computation to be distributed across many accelerators. Data parallelism remains the default choice and is often paired with tensor-parallel sharding, but model parallelism becomes unavoidable once parameters, activations, or optimizer states no longer fit on a single device. This paper studies pipeline model parallelism through the lens of PipeDream (PD) (Harlap et al., 2018). Our first contribution is theoretical: we introduce Randomized PipeDream (RPD), a stale block-SGD abstraction
