I got the error whenever I use the torch.multiprocessing.spawn to parallelize over multiple GPUs, including the code examples in Parallel and Distributed Training tutorials.
Exception: process 0 terminated with exit code 1
Does anyone know the meaning of "terminating with exit code 1" (i.e., the reason why the process is terminated)?
The example in Pytorch DDP notes:
import torch
import torch.distributed as dist
import torch.multiprocessing as mp
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.optim as optim
from torch.nn.parallel import DistributedDataParallel as DDP
def example(rank, world_size):
# create default process group
dist.init_process_group("gloo", rank=rank, world_size=world_size)
# create local model
model = nn.Linear(10, 10).to(rank)
# construct DDP model
ddp_model = DDP(model, device_ids=[rank])
# define loss function and optimizer
loss_fn = nn.MSELoss()
optimizer = optim.SGD(ddp_model.parameters(), lr=0.001)
# forward pass
outputs = ddp_model(torch.randn(20, 10).to(rank))
labels = torch.randn(20, 10).to(rank)
backward pass
loss_fn(outputs, labels).backward()
# update parameters
optimizer.step()
def main():
world_size = 2
mp.spawn(example,
args=(world_size,),
nprocs=world_size,
join=True)
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
