Hi, I Have A Small Issue About Gpu Monitoring. I Run My Training Inside A Singularity Container And I Set The Cuda_Visible_Devices Variable. However, I Get The Following Message:

Hi, I have a small issue about GPU monitoring. I run my training inside a Singularity container and I set the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES variable. However, I get the following message: TRAINS Monitor: GPU monitoring failed getting GPU reading, switching off GPU monitoring . Any idea about how to fix this ? Thanks !

Hi BoredGoat1
from this warning: " TRAINS Monitor: GPU monitoring failed getting GPU reading, switching off GPU monitoring " It seems trains failed to load the nvidia .so dll that does the GPU monitoring:
This is based on pynvml, and I think it is trying to access "libnvidia-ml.so.1"

Basically saying, if you can run nvidima-smi from inside the container, it should work.

Yes, that means the nvidia drivers are present (as you mentioned the GPU seems to be detected).
Could you check you have libnvidia-ml.so.1 inside the container ?
For example in /usr/lib/nvidia-XYZ/

I have the lib in the container ( /.singularity.d/libs/ ) FYI, my driver version is 418.67

I find the issue. In the code we must to add this condition
if self._active_gpus and i not in self._active_gpus: continueto be sure to not go in the for loop after. I propose to add this condition here: https://github.com/allegroai/trains/blob/e7864e6ba866a518ff07ab86da7c4703091fa94a/trains/utilities/resource_monitor.py#L302

I tested and I have no more warning messages

if self._active_gpus and i not in self._active_gpus: continueThis solved it?

If so, PR pretty please 🙂

hmmm I see...
It seems to miss the fact that your process do uses the GPU.
Maybe it only happens later, that the GPU is used?
Does that make sense ?

For my main GPU (for the training) it is empty array and for my other GPU it is empty

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

Yes that is possible. I will try something to be sure

Done here: https://github.com/allegroai/trains/pull/170 🎉

Yes that's solved the issue. I will do the PR today

It is already in the variable :
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/nvidia/lib:/usr/local/nvidia/lib64:/.singularity.d/libs

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

Okay could you test with export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/.singularity.d/libs/

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

Okay that is odd ...

The script works. I tested to check where in the cpde the issue comes from and in the function: _get_gpu_stats(self) , g.processes is empty or None. Moreover, in _last_process_pool I only have cpu and no gpu. I think the issue is because one of the gpu return None instead of empty array. The for loop crash and so no GPU is logged

Maybe permissions?!
you can test it manually by installing pynvml
and running:
from pynvml.smi import nvidia_smi nvsmi = nvidia_smi.getInstance() nvsmi.DeviceQuery('memory.free, memory.total')

Hmm, that means it should have worked with Trains as well.
Could you run the attached script, see if it works?

and I have root permissions

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

Yes that's the part that is supposed to only pull the GPU usage for your process (and sub processes) instead of globally on the entire system

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

In the for loop here. processes is empty or None in my case. None is for my display GPU

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

My second graphic card is only for display.

  
  
Posted 4 years ago

so g.processes is None?

TimelyPenguin76 didn't fix the issue.

That's work in ipython

Hi AgitatedDove14 , I can run nvidia-smi inside the container. However, I have this warning message
