+Boost the Performance by FasterMoE 
+===
+
+一个中文版见[这篇博客](https://laekov.com.cn/view/181401#howto)
+
+There are three main optimizations in the PPoPP'22 paper _FasterMoE: Modeling
+and Optimizing Training of Large-scale Dynamic Pre-trained Models_. Thanks to
+the contributions of authors of the article, their optimizations are now
+integrated into FastMoE, and can be enabled via switches of environment
+variables. These optimizations can greatly increase the training efficiency of
+FastMoE.
+
+## Smart Scheduling
+
+Recall that in an MoE layer, two `all-to-all`s are performed with the experts'
+computation in-between. In FasterMoE, the `all-to-all`s are broken down using
+a _group-wise exchange_ algorithm. And then, the expert can instantly start
+its jobs as long as a part of input, e.g. tokens from one other worker, is
+ready.
+
+Its effectiveness is revealed in the following timeline. `S` and `R` stand for
+the components of the `all-to-all`s, and `C` stands for computation of the
+expert.
+
+![](smartsch.png)
+
+In FastMoE, to enable smart scheduling, set the environment variable `
+FMOE_FASTER_SCHEDULE_ENABLE` to `1` or `ON`, and it is now by default off.
+
+Please note that there are a few constraints for smart scheduling in the
+current version of FastMoE. `num_expert` has to be `1`, which means only one
+expert can reside on each worker. The input and output features have to be of
+the same length for the experts. This is because the developers of FasterMoE
+only implement this on their prototype, and they are looking for the
+community's efforts to have other cases supported.
+
+To fine-tune the performance of smart scheduling, the environment variable
+`FMOE_FASTER_GROUP_SIZE` stands for the size of worker groups in the
+_Group-wise Exchange_ algorithm. In other words, it is the granularity of the
+schedule. It should be set to a proper value that balance between pipeline
+bubbles and inefficient undersized computation granularity.
+
+## Expert Shadowing
+
+According to observations when training real models, when no limitation is
+placed over expert selection, it follows a skew distribution, which means a few
+experts are much more popular than others. This introduces significant
+performance issue of load imbalance when using FastMoE's model parallel mode.
+
+The authors of FasterMoE proposes the solution that for the hot experts, their
+parameters are broadcast to all workers, namely shadows. With the shadows,
+computation of the hot experts can be performed locally on all workers,
+avoiding the bottleneck of sending so much workload to the workers containing
+the hot experts. Besides, a performance predictor, together with a shadow
+selection algorithm, is used to determine which experts to be shadowed before
+each iteration.
+
+In FastMoE, this feature is enabled by the environment variable
+`FMOE_FASTER_SHADOW_ENABLE`.  For simplicity, this feature is only available
+when smart scheduling is enabled. Besides the constraints of smart scheduling,
+this feature requires the experts to be identical in structure, so that
+parameters can be copied between experts.
+
+A default shadow selection policy is located at
+`fmoe/fastermoe/shadow_policy.py`. If you want to alter the policy, please code
+there and re-install FastMoE. For the default policy, we assume that the
+experts are two-layer MLPs. A few parameters of the policy can be specified by
+the following environment variables for better effectiveness of the shadowing
+mechanism.
+
+* `FMOE_FASTER_GLBPLC_NETBW` is the bandwidth of the interconnection between
+  workers, measured by `GBps`.
+* `FMOE_FASTER_GLBPLC_GPUTP` is the GeMM throughput of the GPUs, measured by
+  `FLOPs`, e.g. `13e12` for NVIDIA V100 PCIe GPUs using fp32.
+* `FMOE_FASTER_GLBPLC_ALPHA` is the fraction of the activation length in the
+  middle of the MLP to the input and output feature length, commonly seen to be
+`2` or `4` in transformers.
+* `FMOE_FASTER_GLBPLC_DMODEL` is the feature length of input and output of the
+  experts. This parameter can be set automatically by FastMoE.
+
+## Topology-aware Gate
+
+The two optimizations above do not change the behavior of the model, while this
+one does. To reduce network congestion when training in distributed system
+with hierarchical network topology, e.g. many GPUs in each of many nodes, the
+number of samples transmitted through the slower upper-level network is
+limited. The overfilling tokens select experts within the same lower-level
+network to reduce the communication overhead.
+
+The example topology-aware gate is implemented as `FasterGate` among FastMoE's
+gates. However, note that it may influence the accuracy of the model. And for
+different training hardware, different topology-aware gates shall be designed
+according to the specific case.
+
+The environment variable `FMOE_TOPO_GPUS_PER_NODE` represents number of GPUs in
+each local network, e.g. each node. And `FMOE_TOPO_OUTGOING_FRACTION` controls
+the fraction of tokens that are allowed to be sent across the upper-level
+network.
