Overview
What It Does
Physicsnemo Shard Tensor packages a focused browser & research workflow for an AI agent. Official NVIDIA-authored guidance for PhysicsNeMo ShardTensor domain parallelism — integrate domain parallelism into training/inference scripts (new or existing) with DDP or FSDP2, write and register shard patches to enable new layers/ops, and bootstrap multi-GPU correctness tests. Use when working with ShardTensor, scatter_tensor, domain parallelism, sequence/spatial sharding, ring attention, DeviceMesh + DDP/FSDP2 hybrid parallelism, or physicsnemo.domain_parallel. Do NOT use for generic PyTorch DDP/FSDP setup without domain parallelism, picking a PhysicsNeMo model or example (use physicsnemo-discover), or non-distributed training questions. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
