You could run the script with NCCL_DEBUG=INFO python script.py args to get more debug information from NCCL, which should also contain the root cause of this issue.

LuoXin-s · March 28, 2021, 7:17am

Yes, I did that and solved this issue simply use --ipc=host in my docker.

Thanks and please let me know what the potential issue is.

ptrblck · October 14, 2022, 5:17am

Your error is raised in:

Duplicate GPU detected : rank 1 and rank 0 both on CUDA device 18000

which points towards a script error which tries to reuse the same GPU for different ranks.

Megh_Bhalerao · October 14, 2022, 5:43pm

Thanks, yeah the issue was that inside the mp.spawn function I had to torch.cuda.set_device(). But I am facing another error which is the following

RuntimeError: "nll_loss_forward_reduce_cuda_kernel_2d_index" not implemented for 'Double'

I am using double precision across my entire codebase. I think the above error is more of a feature request than an error.

Thank you for your time and please let me know if I am missing something.

ptrblck · October 16, 2022, 7:07am

Could you share a minimal code snippet which raises the new error, please?

NavinKumarMNK · March 14, 2023, 3:18pm

Actually for me NCCL_DEBUG=INFO gives the same error output. No extra information was shown.
But i remember one time i this line in the error.
My problem is not solved by any other means. i tried a lot

This would mean that either NCCL isn’t used at all or that you are not exporting the env variable properly. I would recommend exporting it in your terminal, not trying to export it in your Python script.

NavinKumarMNK · March 14, 2023, 4:26pm

no sir, i tried even NCCL_DEBUG=INFO python …,py
But i missed to mention ,
i also exported the variable

I’m using torch 1.8.0+cu111 and pytorch-lightning 1.2.3. Any help would be appreciated.

If you’ve recently updated your driver reboot the system. Otherwise check which drivers are used and if they are compatible to the old PyTorch binary you are using.

As for my case, I use pytorch/pytorch:1.8.1-cuda10.2-cudnn7-devel, then I ran into the same error:

RuntimeError: NCCL error in: /opt/conda/conda-bld/pytorch_1616554786529/work/torch/lib/c10d/ProcessGroupNCCL.cpp:825, unhandled system error, NCCL version 2.7.8
ncclSystemError: System call (socket, malloc, munmap, etc) failed.

And docker run with “–ipc=host” didn’t work

I switch to pytorch/pytorch:1.11.0-cuda11.3-cudnn8-devel and no need to “–ipc=host”, problem solved
