Contribution grade

Memory-efficient distributed training · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score45,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Processed attention heads in staged chunks under a context-parallel schedule and used GQA-compatible out-of-order scheduling to reduce intermediate activation memory while preserving practical training throughput.

Scientific scope

Processed attention heads in staged chunks under a context-parallel schedule and used GQA-compatible out-of-order scheduling to reduce intermediate activation memory while preserving practical training throughput. Extends Ulysses/context parallelism and uses inherited attention kernels. The87.5percent figure concerns attention intermediate tensors in selected32B settings, not total model memory. Five-million-token support uses8H100s and does not establish useful five-million-token reasoning or a universally free speed-memory tradeoff.
