Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time
In a typical RL training loop, environment simulation runs on the CPU and the policy network runs on the GPU, and each step requires copying observations and actions between the host and the device, with the accumulated copy time far exceeding the actual computation time.

VerifiedEach RL training step requires running inference (generating rollouts) and backpropagation (updating weights) simultaneously, making the compute requirements far higher than ordinary fine-tuning.78% similarUnverifiedTraining large models with backpropagation requires storing the global computation graph (activation cache), and GPU memory consumption is typically 3–4 times or more that of the inference phase.71% similarUnverifiedThe prefill phase feeds the entire input prompt into the model at once, attention computation can be fully parallelized, and it is a compute-intensive workload where GPU utilization is near saturation but latency scales approximately linearly with input length.70% similarUnverifiedRecurrent mechanisms require multiple iterations over the same set of weights during inference, introducing sequential dependencies that are unfriendly to the GPU/TPU parallel computing paradigm and may slow down training and inference.69% similarUnverifiedUsers can obtain compilation acceleration by calling torch.compile(model) before the model, which typically delivers inference or training speed improvements of 10%–200% on mainstream GPUs.69% similar
