DDPStrategy¶

class lightning_fabric.strategies.DDPStrategy(accelerator=None, parallel_devices=None, cluster_environment=None, checkpoint_io=None, precision=None, process_group_backend=None, timeout=datetime.timedelta(seconds=1800), start_method='popen', **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: lightning_fabric.strategies.parallel.ParallelStrategy

Strategy for multi-process single-device training on one or multiple nodes.

all_reduce(tensor, group=None, reduce_op='mean')[source]¶

Reduces a tensor from several distributed processes to one aggregated tensor.

Parameters

tensor¶ (Tensor) – the tensor to sync and reduce
group¶ (Optional[Any]) – the process group to gather results from. Defaults to all processes (world)
reduce_op¶ (Union[ReduceOp, str, None]) – the reduction operation. Defaults to ‘mean’/’avg’. Can also be a string ‘sum’ to calculate the sum during reduction.

Return type

Tensor

Returns

reduced value, except when the input was not a tensor the output remains is unchanged

barrier(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Synchronizes all processes which blocks processes until the whole group enters this function.

Parameters: name¶ – an optional name to pass into barrier.
Return type: None

broadcast(obj, src=0)[source]¶

Broadcasts an object to all processes.

Parameters

obj¶ (TypeVar(TBroadcast)) – the object to broadcast
src¶ (int) – source rank

Return type

TypeVar(TBroadcast)

module_to_device(module)[source]¶

Moves the model to the correct device.

Return type: None

setup_environment()[source]¶

Setup any processes or distributed connections.

This must be called by the framework at the beginning of every process, before any distributed communication takes place.

Return type: None

setup_module(module)[source]¶

Wraps the model into a DistributedDataParallel module.

Return type: DistributedDataParallel

property distributed_sampler_kwargs: Dict[str, Any]¶

Arguments for the DistributedSampler.

If this method is not defined, or it returns None, then the DistributedSampler will not be used.

Return type: Dict[str, Any]

property root_device: torch.device¶

Returns the root device.

Return type: device
