Enabling Foundation Model Training for Science
Large foundation model training demands access to diverse—and geographically distributed—computation and data resources. Coordinating access to these resources requires building container images, managing training jobs, monitoring job progress, and managing data and provenance across multiple storage systems and computing clusters. We will describe how cloud services on the Globus platform are being used to orchestrate this process and highlight use cases from computational biology and other scientific domains.Large foundation model training demands access to diverse—and geographically distributed—computation and data resources.
