Introduced by Samyam Rajbhandari et al. in ZeRO: Memory Optimizations Toward Training Trillion Parameter Models

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

Zero Redundancy Optimizer (ZeRO) is a sharded data parallel method for distributed training. ZeRODP removes the memory state redundancies across data-parallel processes by partitioning the model states instead of replicating them, and it retains the compute/communication efficiency by retaining the computational granularity and communication volume of DP using a dynamic communication schedule during training.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (9 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
