【问题描述】：

我尝试在由 srun 管理的集群上运行 pytorch，我遵循此处的 ddp 示例 (https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/distributed/ddp)。当我设置一个节点并使用多个进程（每个进程访问一个 gpu）时，它对我有用。结果如下：

$ srun -C gpu -N 1 -c 8 -n 1 --gpus-per-task=4 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nnode=1 --nproc_per_node=4 example.py --local_world_size=4 
srun: job 2520346 queued and waiting for resources
srun: job 2520346 has been allocated resources

[7288]: world_size = 4, rank = 0, backend=nccl 
[7288] rank = 0, world_size = 4, n = 1, device_ids = [0] 
[7290]: world_size = 4, rank = 2, backend=nccl 
[7290] rank = 2, world_size = 4, n = 1, device_ids = [2] 
[7289]: world_size = 4, rank = 1, backend=nccl 
[7289] rank = 1, world_size = 4, n = 1, device_ids = [1] 
[7291]: world_size = 4, rank = 3, backend=nccl 
[7291] rank = 3, world_size = 4, n = 1, device_ids = [3]

但是，当我尝试 2 个节点并且每个节点可以访问 4 个 gpu 时，程序就会挂在那里

srun -C gpu -N 2 -c 8 -n 2 --gpus-per-task=4 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nnode=2 --nproc_per_node=4 example.py --local_world_size=4 
srun: job 2520347 queued and waiting for resources
srun: job 2520347 has been allocated resources

[48849] Initializing process group with: 'MASTER_ADDR': '127.0.0.1', 'MASTER_PORT': '29500', 'RANK': '2', 'WORLD_SIZE': '8'
[48850] Initializing process group with: 'MASTER_ADDR': '127.0.0.1', 'MASTER_PORT': '29500', 'RANK': '3', 'WORLD_SIZE': '8'

我不确定 pytorch 如何在此处详细初始化 env，但我猜主地址不应该是第二种情况的 127.0.0.1，因为有两个不同的节点。你知道如何让这个例子在这种情况下工作吗？谢谢！

【参考方案1】：

经过一番探索，我找到了一个解决方案，我把它放在这里。也许有更好的解决方案，但这个解决方案目前对我来说似乎有效。我写了一个 MPI 程序，它可以检测 eth 的地址（在我的例子中，它是 eth3），然后 mpi 程序将 leader addr 广播给所有工作人员，然后 mpi 程序使用系统调用来启动 python 脚本。

这是mpi程序

#include <iostream>
#include <mpi.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
#include <array>
#include <cstring>


std::string exec(const char* cmd) 
    std::array<char, 128> buffer;
    std::string result;
    std::unique_ptr<FILE, decltype(&pclose)> pipe(popen(cmd, "r"), pclose);
    if (!pipe) 
        throw std::runtime_error("popen() failed!");
    
    while (fgets(buffer.data(), buffer.size(), pipe.get()) != nullptr) 
        result += buffer.data();
    
    return result;


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
    int rank, procs;
    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &procs);

    std::string ipcommand="ifconfig eth3 | egrep -o 'inet [0-9]1,3\.[0-9]1,3\.[0-9]1,3\.[0-9]1,3'  | cut -d' ' -f2";

    std::string ipaddr = exec(ipcommand.c_str());

    std::cout << "rank is " << rank << " ip addr is " << ipaddr << std::endl;
    
    //get master ip
    char masterAddr[128];
    if(rank==0)
        strcpy(masterAddr,ipaddr.c_str());
    

    MPI_Bcast(masterAddr,128,MPI_CHAR,0,MPI_COMM_WORLD);

    //std::cout << "rank is " << rank << " ip addr is " << ipaddr << " master ip is " << std::string(masterAddr)<< std::endl;

    std::string pytorchcommand = "/bin/bash ../rundistributed.sh " + std::to_string(rank) + " " + std::string(masterAddr);

    std::cout << "pytorchcommand: " << pytorchcommand << std::endl;

    system(pytorchcommand.c_str());

    return 0;

这是rundistributed.sh中的内容

#!/bin/bash
#$1 is the rank id
#$2 is the master addr

python -m torch.distributed.launch \
    --nnode=2 --nproc_per_node=4 --node_rank=$1\
    --master_addr="$2" ../distributed4.py --local_world_size=4

结果如下：

$ srun -C gpu -N 2 -c 8 -n 2 --gpus-per-task=4 ./initrank
