meta training llama 3 encountered frequent failures: 16384 h100 gpu training cluster "strike" every 3 hours
According to news on July 28, a research report released by meta showed that it was used to train 405 billion parameters Model llama 3's cluster of 16,384 Nvidia h100 graphics cards experienced 419 unexpected failures in 54 days, an average of one every three hours. Among them, more than half of the failures are caused by the graphics card or its high-bandwidth memory (hbm3).
Due to the huge system scale and highly synchronized tasks, a single graphics card failure may cause the entire training task to be interrupted and need to be restarted. Despite this, the meta team maintained an effective training time of over 90%. During the 54-day pre-training of
, a total of 466 work interruptions occurred, of which 47 were planned interruptions and 419 were unexpected interruptions. Planned outages are due to automated maintenance, while unplanned outages are primarily due to hardware issues. GPU issues were the leading cause of failures, accounting for 58.7% of unplanned outages. Only three of the incidents required significant human intervention, with the rest managed by automation.
