Hello,
I installed pytorch on the local machine using pip, following instructions in Start Locally | PyTorch, and ran DDP training with pytorch lightning using 4 RTX 2080 ti without NVLINK. But DDP training stalled after several epochs, throwing an error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'c10::Error'
what(): CUDA error: initialization error
CUDA kernel errors might be asynchronously reported at some other API call, so the stacktrace below might be incorrect.
For debugging consider passing CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1.
Compile with `TORCH_USE_CUDA_DSA` to enable device-side assertions.

This error was intermittent, so it was difficult to pin down what causes it. But what i found was the error is completely gone when i set num_workers=0 for dataloaders or just use one gpu, though it is not a viable option as i have a lot of images to train with. I couldn’t find a better solution, so i tried running the program using docker image, Docker, which completely got rid of the error even for num_workers>0.
I found that the difference is that i use pip to install pytorch in local env and docker uses conda, but i don’t think that’s the culprit. I’m suspecting CUDA runtime version mismatch with CUDA used to compile torch library, but i believe that would cause CUDA error for one gpu, which was not the case. Could anyone help me find the exact reason for this weird behavior?
This is the output from collect_env in local and container.
