Description
Update
torch.distributed
related files to support A3C training in multiple GPUs.We support two methods to launch your training script on specific GPUs
You can run your task beginning with a specific GPU. e.g. If you want to run
PPOLag
withparallel=4
, you can run:then the task would run on GPUs
cuda:0
,cuda:1
,cuda:2
,cuda:3
.If you run:
then the task would run on GPUs
cuda:2
,cuda:3
,cuda:4
,cuda:5
.You can also run your task on specific GPUs. e.g. If you want to run
PPOLag
withparallel=4
, in GPUs 3,4,6,7 you can run:export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=3,4,6,7 python train_policy.py --algo PPOLag --parallel 4 --device cuda:0
with nvitop, you can observe that device 3,4,6,7 is acativated.
WARNING
Please make sure the number of your GPUs available is bigger than
parallel
