Description
Hi, newbie here. Reading the API, I've noticed that memory and speed improvements come from ZeRO. I also read that ZeRO only works with FP16. I read that GTX 1080 Ti has a very low FP16 throughput and using it is very inefficient. Would Deepspeed provide a significant memory or speed improvement using a single GTX 1080 Ti? I'm using Transformers to model sequential data, moderate sequence length (512-1024) and small batch size (4-6). Thanks.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests; start by reading the DeepSpeed ZeRO and FP16 API documentation and reviewing the single-GPU Transformer setup described. Done would require an evidence-based explanation of expected memory and speed benefits for the stated GTX 1080 Ti, sequence lengths, and batch sizes.
