Single-Node multi-GPU Deepspeed training fails with cuda OOM on Azure

gabriead · March 24, 2023, 2:12pm

Hi community,
we are currently trying to run Pytorch-Lightning on Azure (specs below) using a single node with four GPU’s for training a transformer.
It starts training (refer to std_log_process_0.tx) and then runs into a cuda out-of-memory error. Apparently none of the other GPU’s has started processing (refer to std_log_process_1.txt, std_log_process_2.txt, std_log_process_3.txt ) so far. We couldn’t find anything helpful to fix this issue so we are counting on the community to help us out.

Compute Specs on Azure: Standard_NC64as_T4_v3 (single node, 4 GPU’s)
