Pipeline Parallelism

Pipeline parallelism places different groups of model layers on different devices and passes activations between them.

Think of it like

Think of Pipeline Parallelism like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.

Real life

High-scale AI services depend on Pipeline Parallelism to keep cost and latency under control.

SRE lens

It creates pipeline-stage coordination and latency considerations.
