# JAX on NVIDIA GPUs Part 2: A practical guide for ML engineers

January 8, 2026• 84 min read

This guide demonstrates how to scale JAX-based LLM training from a single GPU to multi-node clusters on NVIDIA Blackwell infrastructure. We present a methodologically rigorous performance analysis with controlled experiments that reveal both the power and limitations of distributed training for language models.

## Executive summary

We trained a 27M parameter Transformer model on 4.9 million tokens across three configurations:

|     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Configuration** | **NVIDIA GPUs** | **Nodes** | **Time** | **Speedup** | **Efficiency** | **Throughput** | **Final accuracy** |
| **Single GPU** | 1 | 1 | 43.7s | 1.0x | 100% | 112,364 tok/s | 24.0% |
| **Multi-GPU** | 8 | 1 | 18.9s | 2.31x | 28.9% | 259,885 tok/s | 21.8% |
| **Multi-node** | 16 | 2 | 10.7s | 4.08x | 25.5% | 458,147 tok/s | 20.7% |

**Key findings:**

- **Consistent convergence:** All configurations achieved similar accuracy (20-24%), validating our controlled experimental methodology
- **Real speedup:** Multi-GPU training was 2.3x faster; multi-node was 4.1x faster
- **Scaling limitations:** 27M parameter model is too small to fully utilize 8+ GPUs, communication overhead dominates computation time

**For production workloads:** Larger models (100M+ parameters) typically achieve 6-7x speedup on 8 GPUs and 12-14x on 16 GPUs, since computation time dominates communication overhead.

## Experimental setup

**Hardware configuration:**

- 2 nodes × 8 NVIDIA HGX B200 = 16 GPUs total

**Controlled variables:**

To ensure scientifically valid results, we controlled three key variables:

1. **Fixed token budget**

All configurations processed exactly **4,915,200 tokens**:

```
def calculate_training_steps(target_tokens, seq_len, global_batch_size):
    """Calculate steps needed to process target_tokens"""
    tokens_per_step = seq_len * global_batch_size
    steps = target_tokens // tokens_per_step
    return steps
```

2. **Constant batch per GPU**

Every GPU processed **8 samples** regardless of configuration:

- Single GPU: 8 samples/step × 1 GPU = 8 global batch
- Multi-GPU : 8 samples/step × 8 GPUs = 64 global batch
- Multi-Node: 8 samples/step × 16 GPUs = 128 global batch

3. **Learning rate scaling**

Learning rate scaled by √(batch\_size\_ratio) to maintain convergence:

```
base_lr = 2e-4
batch_scale = global_batch_size / batch_per_gpu  # Number of GPUs
learning_rate = base_lr * jnp.sqrt(batch_scale)

# Results:
# Single GPU:  2.00e-04 (base)
# Multi-GPU:   5.66e-04 (base × √8)
# Multi-Node:  8.00e-04 (base × √16)
```

This scaling rule ( [Goyal et al., 2017](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677)) ensures that all configurations converge to similar accuracy despite different batch sizes.

## Dataset details

**TinyShakespeare Corpus:** [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karpathy/char-rnn/master/data/tinyshakespeare/input.txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karpathy/char-rnn/master/data/tinyshakespeare/input.txt)

**Fallback**: Built-in Hamlet soliloquy repeated 50x for offline testing

**Dataset statistics:**

- **Raw text size**: ~1.1 MB (approximately 1,115,394 characters)
- **Word count**: ~200,000 words after preprocessing
- **Vocabulary**: Top 2,000 most frequent words + <PAD> token
- **Content**: Complete works of William Shakespeare

**Preprocessing pipeline**

1. **Text normalization:**

```
# Add spaces around punctuation
text = re.sub(r'([.!?,:;()])', r' \1 ', text)
# Normalize whitespace
text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text) spaces
```

2. **Tokenization strategy**:
   - **Level**: Word-level (not character or subword)
   - **Vocabulary building**: Frequency-based selection
   - **Special tokens**: <PAD> (index 0) for padding
   - **OOV handling**: Unknown words mapped to <PAD>
3. **Sequence generation**:
   - **Method**: Sliding window with 25% overlap
   - **Window size**: 64 words
   - **Step size**: 16 words (seq\_len // 4)
   - **Target**: Next word prediction (shifted by 1)

**Training data splits:**

- **Training examples**: ~12,000 sequences (64 words each)
- **Batching**: Sequences grouped into batches based on training mode
- **Distribution**:
  - Single server: All data on one node
  - Multi-server: Data split evenly across ranks

**Distributed data handling:**

- **Single GPU**: Full dataset, standard batching
- **Multi-GPU**: Data replicated across GPUs, synchronized gradients
- **Multi-server**: Data partitioned by rank, distributed training

## Prepare code on different servers

Create directories on all servers:

```
ssh mle-team-node-001 "mkdir -p ~/jax_llm_test"
ssh mle-team-node-002 "mkdir -p ~/jax_llm_test"
```

Send script to all servers:

```
scp jax_scaling_benchmark.py mle-team-node-001:~/jax_llm_test/
scp jax_scaling_benchmark.py mle-team-node-002:~/jax_llm_test/
```

Install all necessary packages:

```
pip install jax[cuda12] flax optax requests numpy
```

Add bash script:

```
nano run_jax_benchmark.sh
```

## Key JAX patterns

**Pattern 1: Single GPU training**

```
@jit
def single_gpu_train_step(state, batch):
    """Standard JAX training step with JIT compilation"""
    def loss_fn(params):
        metrics = compute_metrics(params, state.apply_fn, batch)
        return metrics['loss']

# Compute loss and gradients
    loss, grads = jax.value_and_grad(loss_fn)(state.params)

# Update parameters
    new_state = state.apply_gradients(grads=grads)
    metrics = compute_metrics(new_state.params, state.apply_fn, batch)

return new_state, metrics
```

Key JAX features:

- @jax.jit: JIT compilation for performance
- jax.value\_and\_grad(): Automatic differentiation
- jax.device\_put(): Explicit device placement

**Pattern 2: Multi-GPU training (single node)**

```
@partial(pmap, axis_name='devices')
def multi_gpu_train_step(state, batch):
    """Parallel training across multiple GPUs"""
    def loss_fn(params):
        metrics = compute_metrics(params, state.apply_fn, batch)
        return metrics['loss']

loss, grads = jax.value_and_grad(loss_fn)(state.params)

# KEY DIFFERENCE: Synchronize gradients across GPUs
    grads = jax.lax.pmean(grads, axis_name='devices')

new_state = state.apply_gradients(grads=grads)
    metrics = compute_metrics(new_state.params, state.apply_fn, batch)

# Synchronize metrics across GPUs
    metrics = jax.lax.pmean(metrics, axis_name='devices')

return new_state, metrics
```

Key JAX features:

- @partial(pmap, axis\_name='devices'): Parallel map across GPUs
- jax.lax.pmean(): All-reduce for gradient averaging
- jax.device\_put\_replicated(): Replicate model state across devices

**Pattern 3: Multi-node training (distributed)**

```
# Step 1: Initialize JAX distributed
jax.distributed.initialize(
    coordinator_address=f"{coordinator_ip}:{port}",
    num_processes=world_size,
    process_id=rank,
    initialization_timeout=300
)

# Step 2: Define training step (simpler than pmap!)
def simple_distributed_step(state, batch):
    def loss_fn(params):
        metrics = compute_metrics(params, state.apply_fn, batch)
        return metrics['loss']

# Compute gradients locally
    loss, grads = jax.value_and_grad(loss_fn)(state.params)

# JAX distributed automatically synchronizes gradients
    new_state = state.apply_gradients(grads=grads)

metrics = compute_metrics(new_state.params, state.apply_fn, batch)
    return new_state, metrics

distributed_step_jit = jit(simple_distributed_step)
```

Key JAX features:

- jax.distributed.initialize(): Multi-server setup
- **Automatic gradient synchronization** (no explicit pmean needed!)
- Environment variables for coordinator configuration

**Pattern comparison**

|     |     |     |     |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Feature** | **Single GPU** | **Multi-GPU (pmap)** | **Multi-node (distributed)** |
| **Decorator** | @jax.jit | @partial(pmap, axis\_name='devices') | @jax.jit |
| **Gradient sync** | Not needed | jax.lax.pmean(grads, 'devices') | Automatic |
| **Device management** | jax.device\_put() | jax.device\_put\_replicated() | Environment variables |
| **Data shape** | \[batch, seq\] | \[devices, batch\_per\_device, seq\] | \[local\_batch, seq\] |
| **Complexity** | Simple | Medium | Simple (JAX handles sync) |

| **Mode** | **GPUs** | **Steps** | **Batch** | **Learning rate** | **Time (s)** | **Loss** | **Accuracy** |
| Single GPU | 1 | 9,600 | 8 | 2.00e-04 | 43.7 | 3.9696 | 0.240 |
| Multi-GPU | 8 | 1,200 | 64 | 5.66e-04 | 18.9 | 4.2123 | 0.218 |
| Multi-server | 16 | 600 | 128 | 8.00e-04 | 10.7 | 4.3686 | 0.207 |

**Scaling efficiency analysis**

|     |     |     |     |     |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Mode** | **GPUs** | **Speedup** | **Efficiency** | **Throughput (tokens/sec)** |
| Single GPU | 1 | 1.00x | 100.0% | 112,364 |
| Multi-GPU | 8 | 2.31x | 28.9% | 259,885 |
| Multi-server | 16 | 4.08x | 25.5% | 458,147 |

**Why not 8x/16x speedup?**

Our efficiency numbers (28.9% for 8 GPUs, 25.5% for 16 GPUs) are honest reflections of three bottlenecks:

**1\. Model size bottleneck**

The 27M parameter model is too small to saturate modern GPUs:

- Each GPU completes its computation quickly
- GPUs spend more time waiting for gradient synchronization than computing
- **Rule of thumb:** Need ~100M+ parameters to efficiently utilize 8+ GPUs

**2\. Communication overhead**

Gradient synchronization dominates for small models:

```
# Multi-GPU uses NCCL all-reduce
grads = jax.lax.pmean(grads, axis_name='devices')  # ← Time cost increases with GPUs
```

Breakdown for our 27M model:

- Single GPU: 0% time on communication (no sync needed)
- 8 GPUs: ~70% time on communication vs. computation
- 16 GPUs: ~75% time on communication (inter-node adds latency)

**3\. JIT compilation overhead**

JAX's JIT compilation adds fixed startup costs:

- First step: ~5-10 seconds for compilation
- Subsequent steps: Fast execution
- For short training runs, compilation is a higher percentage of total time

## Implementation guide

**Prerequisites**

```
# Install JAX with CUDA support
pip install --upgrade "jax[cuda12]"

# Install Flax and dependencies
pip install flax optax requests numpy

# Verify installation
python3 -c "import jax; print(f'JAX devices: {jax.devices()}')"
```

**Step 1: Single GPU training**

```
python3 jax_scaling_benchmark.py \
  --mode single \
  --target-tokens 4915200 \
  --seq-len 64 \
  --batch-per-gpu 8 \
  --save-results single_gpu_results.json
```

**Step 2: Multi-GPU training (single node)**

```
python3 jax_scaling_benchmark.py \
  --mode multi-gpu \
  --gpus 8 \
  --target-tokens 4915200 \
  --seq-len 64 \
  --batch-per-gpu 8 \
  --save-results multi_gpu_results.json
```

**Step 3: Multi-node training (distributed)**

```
./run_jax_benchmark.sh
```

## Conclusion

This guide demonstrates:

1. **JAX scales effectively** from single GPU to multi-node clusters
2. **Controlled experiments** reveal true scaling characteristics
3. **Communication overhead** is real but manageable for large models
4. **Three distinct JAX patterns** for different scaling scenarios

**Key takeaways:**

- Small models (< 50M params): Limited scaling efficiency
- Medium models (100M-1B params): Good scaling to 8-16 GPUs
- Large models (1B+ params): Excellent scaling to 64+ GPUs
