RuntimeError: Default process group has not been initialized, please make sure to call init_process_group

I’m training the model with DistributedDataParallel and made weight file
Then trying to load the pth file with model and eval

 # multi gpu load
        self.model = EfficientDet(num_classes=args.num_class,
                         network=args.network,
                         W_bifpn=EFFICIENTDET[args.network]['W_bifpn'],
                         D_bifpn=EFFICIENTDET[args.network]['D_bifpn'],
                         D_class=EFFICIENTDET[args.network]['D_class']
                         )

        if torch.cuda.is_available():
             self.model = self.model.cuda()


        if args.distributed: 
            print('args.distributed...FF')
            self.model = self.model.to(args.rank)
            torch.cuda.set_device(0)

            self.model = torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel(self.model
            ,device_ids=[args.rank]
            ,output_device=[args.rank]
            ,find_unused_parameters=True)

            self.model = self.model.module


        #self.model = self.model.cuda()
        if(self.weights is not None):
            print('load state dic...',self.weights)
            checkpoint = torch.load(
                self.weights, map_location=lambda storage, loc: storage)
            state_dict = checkpoint['state_dict']
            self.model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
        if torch.cuda.is_available():
            self.model = self.model.cuda()
        self.model.eval()

Then got the following error

Have a look a this post which dealt with the same error and which might have been solved using the proposed solutions. :slight_smile:

Hi!I have the same problem and see the instruction above but didn’t quite unserstand.Did you solve the problem?Could you give a more specific instruction :pleading_face:
