"A recipe for 3D parallelism on SuperMUC-NG Phase 2”
Training LLMs demands extreme compute - a 1T-parameter model alone needs ~120M exaflops.

We present a reproducible, out-of-the-box recipe for training models up to 175B parameters on the SMNG-P2 system at LRZ, using unmodified Megatron-DeepSpeed, PyTorch, and Intel Extension for PyTorch — no custom kernels or hardware modifications needed.

Our optimized parallelism strategy sustains ~10% of theoretical peak bf16 FLOPs, achieving 93% weak and 82% strong scaling efficiency across 128 nodes (1024 tiles, >50% of the whole system), directly reproducible by any user using the public software stack.
