Xronos: Heterogeneity-Aware Tensor Parallelism for Collaborative LLM Fine-Tuning on Edge CPUs
Collaborative fine-tuning on edge devices adapts large language models to domain-specific data while keeping each device's data local. State-of-the-art (SOTA) collaborative fine-tuning techniques are largely designed for GPU-based edge devices and rely on pipeline parallelism (PP). However, many edge platforms, includi...
