making sure datasets are not loaded in memory and distributed training of them
my implementation of sharding per TPU core: https://github.com/google-research/ruse/blob/d4dd58a2d8efe0ffb1a9e9e77e3228d6824d3c3c/seq2seq/trainers/t5_trainer.py#L316 
my implementation of dataloader for this case https://github.com/google-research/ruse/blob/d4dd58a2d8efe0ffb1a9e9e77e3228d6824d3c3c/seq2seq/tasks/tasks.py#L496  Hi!  You can use the `assert not bool(dataset.cache_files)` assertion to ensure your data is in memory. And I suggest using `accelerate` for distributed training.
Hi
I am dealing with large-scale datasets which I need to train distributedly, I used the shard function to divide the dataset across the cores, without any sampler, this does not work for distributed training and does not become any faster than 1 TPU core. 1) how I can make sure data is not loaded in memory 2) in case of distributed training with iterative datasets which measures needs to be taken? Is this all sharding the data only. I was wondering if there can be possibility for me to discuss this with someone with distributed training with iterative datasets using dataset library. thanks
