Samsung patents memory system to pause and save AI training progress
Samsung describes a system that saves the current state of a machine learning model while it is being trained. It copies this data to a special type of fast memory, allowing the training process to be paused and later resumed without starting over.
In the filing’s own words
Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses of persistent memory for machine learning training applications. In one or more examples, the systems, devices, and methods include receiving, based on a request, an allocation of persistent memory associated with a processor executing at least a portion of a model training process to train a machine learning model, the allocation being requested based on freezing a state of the model training process; saving a snapshot of the state of the model training process to the allocation of the persistent memory; and transferring, based on unfreezing the state of the model training process, the snapshot from the persistent memory to a storage drive.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: receiving, based on a request, an allocation of persistent memory associated with a processor executing at least a portion of a model training process to train a machine learning model, the allocation being requested based on freezing a state of the model training process; saving a snapshot of the state of the model training process to the allocation of the persistent memory; and transferring, based on unfreezing the state of the model training process, the snapshot from the persistent memory to a storage drive.
