Distributed Training, is the ability to split the training of a model among multiple processors. It is often a necessity when multi-GPU training no longer applies; typically when you require more GPUs than exist on a single node. Each such split is a pod (see definition above). NVIDIA Run:ai spawns an additional launcher process that manages and coordinates the other worker pods. For more information, see [Distributed training](https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/saas/workloads-in-nvidia-run-ai/using-training/distributed-training/distributed-training-models).
