I assume trains passes it as is, so I think the quoting I mentioned might work

:face_palm: 🤔 :man-tipping-hand:

this is the error

docker: Error response from daemon: cannot set both Count and DeviceIDs on device request.

You should try trains-agent daemon --gpus device=0,1 --queue dual_gpu --docker --foreground and if it doesn't work try quoting trains-agent daemon --gpus '"device=0,1"' --queue dual_gpu --docker --foreground

You can try running the trains-agent with --gpus all if you have two gpus on your machine.

The flag --gpus all is used to assign all available gpus to the docker container.

Did you get the same error message? What do you have in the error under ‘device=XXX’?

What is the OS / docker / Nvidia drivers you have on the machine?

yes, when I run docker itself
docker run --gpus '"device=0,1"' nvidia/cuda:10.1-base nvidia-smi

it work, but when I do with trains like WackyRabbit7 suggested (with same quotes):
trains-agent daemon --gpus '"device=0,1"' --queue dual_gpu --docker --foreground

it gives this error:
invalid argument "device="device=0,1"" for "--gpus" flag: parse error on line 1, column 7: bare " in non-quoted-field

when I launch this:
(trains-agent) lv-beast@lv-beast:~/dev/MachineLearning/scripts/cmd_launcer$ docker run --gpus '"device=0,1"' nvidia/cuda:10.1-base nvidia-smi
it worked, so maybe its an issue with how trains pass the device to the docker run command?

maybe it's possible to overcome this by setting NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES somehow, and then use --gpus all?

thanks for the help!
I tried now:
trains-agent daemon --gpus "0,1" --queue dual_gpu --docker --foreground

but I get the same error when I execute train

Sounds right, thanks 🙂

Can you share the exception for --gpus "0,1" ?

So running the docker with ‘“device=0,1”’ works? We will check that

Did you get the same error message? What do you have in the error under ‘device=XXX’?

What about this? Do you get the same as the first one ( device=0,1 )? or with quote ( device="0,1" )?

Hi RattySeagull0 ,

Can you try quote the gpus numbers? like --gpus "0,1" ?
looks the same issue as https://github.com/allegroai/trains-agent/issues/35

WackyRabbit7 thanks for the suggestions
the first suggestion (without the quote) get the same result.
the second produce
invalid argument "device="device=0,1"" for "--gpus" flag: parse error on line 1, column 7: bare " in non-quoted-field
(this produce the execute command)

In standard docker TimelyPenguin76 this quoting you mentioned is wrong, since the whole argument is being passed - hence the double tricky quotation I posted above

you are right, I have only 2 gpus right now, so basically I can launch --gpus all and it will work
but I want to create the scripts for longer use (deploy on larger machines with more gpus)
