FoMoE: Breaking the Full-Replica Barrier with a Federation of MoEs
FoMoE introduces a distributed training system that breaks the full-model replication requirement in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures by partitioning experts across workers. The approach achieves up to 1.42x communication cost reduction and 45x improvement over traditional distributed training, enabling efficient LLM pre-training across geographically dispersed commodity hardware.
