Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported BERT-Large setup: sequence length 400, per-device batch size 8, fp16, eight GPUs on one node, with 16G VRAM and 64G RAM. The issue names no files, tests, logs, versions, or entry point, so first determine where the memory failure occurs and what evidence defines a successful fix.
