The Multipath Reliable Connection (MRC) Transport

MRC is an open, production-grade transport designed for large-scale AI/ML training over best-effort Ethernet. It extends RoCEv2 with explicit, composable primitives for per-packet multipath and sender-based congestion control, decouples packet delivery from semantic processing, adds multiple new capabilities for accelerated packet-loss recovery and adds resilience against port and path failures. This paper presents MRC and details its core capabilities and mechanisms.

GPT-Neo for commonsense reasoning -- a theoretical and practical lens

Recent work has demonstrated substantial gains in pre-training large-language models (LLMs) followed by supervised fine-tuning on the downstream task. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the GPT-neo model using $6$ commonsense reasoning benchmark tasks. We aim to examine the performance of smaller models using the GPT-neo models against several larger model baselines such as GPT-$3$, Llama-$2$, MPT and Falcon. Upon fine-tuning with the appropriate set of hyperparameters, our model achieves competitive accuracy on several tasks. We also investigate and substantiate our results using attention-head visualization to better understand the model performance. Finally, we conduct various robustness tests using various methods to gauge the model performance under numerous settings.
