A Multigrid Full Approximation Storage algorithm for solving Deep Residual Networks is developed to enable neural network parallelized layer-wise training and concurrent computational kernel execution on GPUs. This work demonstrates a 10.2x speedup over traditional layer-wise model parallelism techniques using the same number of compute units.
