PICASSO: An Industrial-Scale Sparse Training Engine for Wide-and-Deep Recommender Systems
PICASSO, Alibaba’s GPU‑centric sparse training engine for wide‑and‑deep recommender systems, merges identical embedding tables, interleaves data and kernel operations, and caches hot embeddings on GPU, eliminating the parameter server and delivering up to tenfold speedups over TensorFlow‑PS while maintaining model quality.
