This post discusses parallelization strategies in a more schematic way by focusing only on how they affect the device mesh. The device mesh is an abstraction used by PyTorch and JAX that takes GPUs and organizes them into an N-D tensor that expresses how the devices communicate with each other. Being able to explain why a device mesh is set up the way it is is a good check for whether you understand how the parallelization strategy works. </span> </span> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="container" style="padding: 15px 15px;"> <div class="text-block"> <span> <a href="https://tracking.tldrnewsletter.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fjxnl.co%2Fwriting%2F2025%2F08%2F28%2Fcontext-engineering-index%2F%23who-this-series-is-for%3Futm_source=tldrai/1/01000199056aa1cf-2be13fec-1903-4abe-9f4b-705f3a2ee3e0-000000/n-WY2hPiUkxdku3tIj3-hCu8gZRrEFvH0Y8EXJnuDyI=420"> <span> <strong>Context Engineering Series Explores Building Better Agentic RAG Systems (45 minute read)</strong> </span> </a> <br> <br> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"> Coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor βcontext engineerβ by designing tool portfolios, slash commands, and subagent architectures to let AI systems discover the information they need to perform best.
