Project Adam: asynchronous computation/communication co-design for training

What changed

Co-designed commodity-server model partitioning, memory/computation layout and asynchronous updates to improve large visual-network training efficiency.

Scientific scope

Co-designed commodity-server model partitioning, memory/computation layout and asynchronous updates to improve large visual-network training efficiency. Microsoft ProjectAdam is not Kingma/Ba Adam optimizer or robot-scientist Adam. Inherits neural training, lock-free updates and asynchronous optimization;30xfewer machines/accuracy claims are particular historical benchmark comparisons, not interchangeable hardware, universal savings or evidence of deployment in medicine.
