The Colossal-AI project aims to provide a wide array of parallelism techniques for the machine learning community in the big-model era. This project is inspired by quite a few reserach works, some are conducted by some of our developers and the others are research projects open-sourced by other organizations. We would like to credit these amazing projects below in the IEEE citation format.
