Introduction to Multi-GPU Training

This tutorial assumes you already know the basics of PyTorch and how to train a model.
Why Do We Even Need Multiple GPUs?
These days, training big neural networks is like trying to stuff an elephant into a suitcase — it just doesn’t fit!
As datasets and models keep getting bigger and bigger, a single GPU often can’t handle the memory requirements, or it’s just painfully slow. That’s where using multiple GPUs swoops in to save the day.
