Hi ScantChimpanzee51
How are you launching the code ?
Basically the easiest way is to do so with the example you just mentioned,
Can this issue be reproduced ?
So my own repo I’m launching with eithertorchrun --nproc_per_node 2 --standalone --master_addr 127.0.0.1 --master_port 29500 -m http://my_folder.my _script --some_option
orpython3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 2 --master_addr 127.0.0.1 --master_port 29500 -m http://my_folder.my _script --some_option
AgitatedDove14 maybe to come at this from a broader angle:
Is ClearML combined with DataParallel or DistributedDataParallel officially supported / should that work without many adjustments? If so, would it be started via python ... or via torchrun ... ? What about remote runs, how will they support the parallel execution? To go even deeper, what about the machines started via ClearML Autoscaler? Can they either run multiple agents on them and/or start remote distributed launches?
Is ClearML combined with DataParallel or DistributedDataParallel officially supported / should that work without many adjustments?Yes it is suported, and should work
If so, would it be started via python ... or via torchrun ... ?Yes it should, hence the request for a code snippet to reproduce the issue you are experiencing
What about remote runs, how will they support the parallel execution?Supported, You should see in the "script entry" something like "-m -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 2 ..."
To go even deeper, what about the machines started via ClearML Autoscaler?
Should work out of the box, this is considered a single Job/Task no need to spin multiple agents for that
Ok great! I will debug starting with a simpler training script.
Just as a last question, is torchrun also supported rather than the (now deprecated but still usable) torch.distributed.launch ?
It should actually work the same, if you find out it fails to properly register let me know (and then I guess a github issue is the next step)
Hi @<1523701205467926528:profile|AgitatedDove14> , so I’ve managed to reproduce a bit more.
When I run very basic code via torchrun or torch.distributed.run then multiple ClearML tasks are created and visible in the UI (screenshot below). The logs and scalars are not aggregated but the task of each rank reports its own.
If however I branch out via torch.multiprocessing like below, everything works as expected. The “script path” just shows the single python script, all logs and scalars from all ranks are aggregated into a single task.
task = Task.init("Glass-ClearML Demo", "Distributed basic mp.spawn, simple model, v3")
n_gpus = torch.cuda.device_count()
world_size = n_gpus
mp.spawn(demo_basic, args=(world_size,), nprocs=world_size, join=True)
All code is taken from the Pytorch tutorial , I just add a ClearML Task into it as shown above.
ClearML version is 1.7.1
Results of a bit more investigation:
The ClearML example does use the Pytorch dist package but none of the DistributedDataParallel functionality, instead, it reduces gradients “manually”. This script is also not prepared for torchrun as it launches more processes itself (w/o using the multiprocessing of Python or Pytorch.)
When running a simple example (code attached below) that includes artifact uploads to S3 and launching processes via torch.multiprocessing , the training hangs at the end - any idea where to investigate closer?

When running on our bigger research repository which includes saving checkpoints and uploading to S3, the training ends with errors as shown below and a Killed message for the main process (I do not abort the main process manually):
