      Distributed Deep Learning using Apache Spark and Keras (see materials) 5m

      Data parallelism is an inherently different methodology of optimizing parameters. The general idea is to reduce the training time by having n workers optimizing a central model by processing n different shards (partitions) of the dataset in parallel. In this setting we distribute n model replicas over n processing nodes, i.e., every node (or process) holds one model replica. Then, the workers train their local replica using the assigned data shard. However, it is possible to coordinate the workers in such a way that, together, they will optimize a single objective during training and as a result, reduce the wall clock training time. There are several approaches to achieve this, and these will be discussed in greater detail in the materials below.
