A distributed cluster training method and an apparatus thereof are provided. The method includes reading a sample set, the sample set including at least one piece of sample data; using the sample data and current weights to substitute into a target model training function for iterative training to obtain a first gradient before receiving a collection instruction, the collection instruction being issued by a scheduling server when a cluster system environment meets a threshold condition; sending the first gradient to an aggregation server if a collection instruction is received, wherein the aggregation server collects each first gradient and calculates second weights; and receiving the second weights sent by the aggregation server to update current weights. The present disclosure reduces an amount of network communications and an impact on switches, and avoids the use of an entire cluster from being affected.
