Guard: Scalable Straggler Detection and Node Health Management for Large-Scale Training

Training frontier-scale foundation models involves coordinating tens of thousands of GPUs over multi-month runs, where even minor performance degradations can accumulate into substantial efficiency losses. Existing health-check mechanisms, such as NCCL tests or GPU burn-in, primarily focus on functional correctness and often fail to detect fail-slow behaviors that silently degrade system performance. In this paper, we present Guard, a scalable system for detecting stragglers and ensuring node health in large-scale training clusters. Guard combines lightweight online performance monitoring during training with an offline node-sweep mechanism that systematically evaluates and qualifies nodes before they participate in production workloads. This design enables Guard to detect both acute failures and long-running fail-slow behaviors that traditional diagnostics cannot capture. Deployed on large-scale foundation model pretraining workloads, Guard improves mean FLOPs utilization by up to 1.7x, reduces run-to-run training step variance from 20% to 1%, increases mean time to failure (MTTF), and significantly reduces operational and debugging overhead. These results demonstrate that proactive straggler detection and systematic node qualification are critical for maintaining stable and efficient large-scale training.

Large Language Models as Amortized Pareto-Front Generators for Constrained Bi-Objective Convex Optimization

Generating feasible Pareto fronts for constrained bi-objective continuous optimization is central to multi-criteria decision-making. Existing methods usually rely on iterative scalarization, evolutionary search, or problem-specific solvers, requiring repeated optimization for each instance. We introduce DIPS, an end-to-end framework that fine-tunes large language models as amortized Pareto-front generators for constrained bi-objective convex optimization. Given a textual problem description, DIPS directly outputs an ordered set of feasible continuous decision vectors approximating the Pareto front. To make continuous optimization compatible with autoregressive language modeling, DIPS combines a compact discretization scheme, Numerically Grounded Token Initialization for new numerical tokens, and Three-Phase Curriculum Optimization, which progressively aligns structural validity, feasibility, and Pareto-front quality. Across five families of constrained bi-objective convex problems, a fine-tuned 7B-parameter model achieves normalized hypervolume ratios of 95.29% to 98.18% relative to reference fronts. With vLLM-accelerated inference, DIPS solves one instance in as little as 0.16 seconds and outperforms general-purpose and reasoning LLM baselines under the evaluated setting. These results suggest that LLMs can serve as effective amortized generators for continuous Pareto-front approximation.

Memory-Efficient Network for Large-scale Video Compressive Sensing

Video snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) captures a sequence of video frames in a single shot using a 2D detector. The underlying principle is that during one exposure time, different masks are imposed on the high-speed scene to form a compressed measurement. With the knowledge of masks, optimization algorithms or deep learning methods are employed to reconstruct the desired high-speed video frames from this snapshot measurement. Unfortunately, though these methods can achieve decent results, the long running time of optimization algorithms or huge training memory occupation of deep networks still preclude them in practical applications. In this paper, we develop a memory-efficient network for large-scale video SCI based on multi-group reversible 3D convolutional neural networks. In addition to the basic model for the grayscale SCI system, we take one step further to combine demosaicing and SCI reconstruction to directly recover color video from Bayer measurements. Extensive results on both simulation and real data captured by SCI cameras demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms previous state-of-the-art with less memory and thus can be used in large-scale problems.
