launchers

Single and Multi-node Launchers with SLURM

The following are complete SLURM scripts that demonstrate how to integrate various launchers with software that uses torch.distributed (but should be easily adaptable to other distributed environments).

• torchrun - to be used with PyTorch distributed.
• accelerate - to be used with HF Accelerate.
• lightning - to be used with Lightning (“PyTorch Lightning” and “Lightning Fabric”).
• srun - to be used with the native SLURM launcher - here we have to manually preset env vars that torch.distributed expects.

All of these scripts use torch-distributed-gpu-test.py as the demo script, which you can copy here with just:

cp ../../../debug/torch-distributed-gpu-test.py .

assuming you cloned this repo. But you can replace it with anything else you need.
