Torch Distributed Elastic Training Launcher
positional arguments:
training_script Full path to the (single GPU) training program/script to be launched in
parallel, followed by all the arguments for the training script.
training_script_args
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--nnodes NNODES Number of nodes, or the range of nodes in form
<minimum_nodes>:<maximum_nodes>.
--nproc-per-node NPROC_PER_NODE, --nproc_per_node NPROC_PER_NODE
Number of workers per node; supported values: [auto, cpu, gpu, xpu, int].
--rdzv-backend RDZV_BACKEND, --rdzv_backend RDZV_BACKEND
Rendezvous backend.
--rdzv-endpoint RDZV_ENDPOINT, --rdzv_endpoint RDZV_ENDPOINT
Rendezvous backend endpoint; usually in form <host>:<port>.
--rdzv-id RDZV_ID, --rdzv_id RDZV_ID
User-defined group id.
--rdzv-conf RDZV_CONF, --rdzv_conf RDZV_CONF
Additional rendezvous configuration (<key1>=<value1>,<key2>=<value2>,...).
--standalone Start a local standalone rendezvous backend that is represented by a C10d
TCP store on a free port. Useful when launching single-node, multi-worker
job. If specified --rdzv-backend, --rdzv-endpoint, --rdzv-id are auto-
assigned and any explicitly set values are ignored.
--max-restarts MAX_RESTARTS, --max_restarts MAX_RESTARTS
Maximum number of worker group restarts before failing.
--monitor-interval MONITOR_INTERVAL, --monitor_interval MONITOR_INTERVAL
Interval, in seconds, to monitor the state of workers.
--start-method {spawn,fork,forkserver}, --start_method {spawn,fork,forkserver}
Multiprocessing start method to use when creating workers.
--event-log-handler EVENT_LOG_HANDLER, --event_log_handler EVENT_LOG_HANDLER
name of a registered event logging handler (see:
https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/elastic/events.html)
--role ROLE User-defined role for the workers.
-m, --module Change each process to interpret the launch script as a Python module,
executing with the same behavior as 'python -m'.
--no-python, --no_python
Skip prepending the training script with 'python' - just execute it
directly. Useful when the script is not a Python script.
--run-path, --run_path
Run the training script with runpy.run_path in the same interpreter.
Script must be provided as an abs path (e.g. /abs/path/script.py). Takes
precedence over --no-python.
--log-dir LOG_DIR, --log_dir LOG_DIR
Base directory to use for log files (e.g. /var/log/torch/elastic). The
same directory is reused for multiple runs (a unique job-level sub-
directory is created with rdzv_id as the prefix).
-r REDIRECTS, --redirects REDIRECTS
Redirect std streams into a log file in the log directory (e.g. [-r 3]
redirects both stdout+stderr for all workers, [-r 0:1,1:2] redirects
stdout for local rank 0 and stderr for local rank 1).
-t TEE, --tee TEE Tee std streams into a log file and also to console (see --redirects for
format).
--log-line-prefix-template LOG_LINE_PREFIX_TEMPLATE, --log_line_prefix_template LOG_LINE_PREFIX_TEMPLATE
Template for the prefix prepended to each console log line of a tee'd
stream (e.g. [--log-line-prefix-template '${hostname}:${rank}: '] renders
as 'r12i0n8:3: '). Available macros: ${role_name}, ${local_rank}, ${rank},
${hostname}. Defaults to '[${role_name}${local_rank}]:'.
--local-ranks-filter LOCAL_RANKS_FILTER, --local_ranks_filter LOCAL_RANKS_FILTER
Only show logs from specified ranks in console (e.g.
[--local_ranks_filter=0,1,2] will only show logs from rank 0, 1 and 2).
This will only apply to stdout and stderr, not tolog files saved via
--redirect or --tee
--duplicate-stdout-filters DUPLICATE_STDOUT_FILTERS, --duplicate_stdout_filters DUPLICATE_STDOUT_FILTERS
Duplicates logs streamed to stdout to another specified file with a list
of filters (e.g. [--duplicate_stdout_filters 'apple,orange'] will
duplicate log lines matching 'apple' OR 'orange'. An empty filters list
won't duplicate any lines. Use double comma to escape a comma)
--duplicate-stderr-filters DUPLICATE_STDERR_FILTERS, --duplicate_stderr_filters DUPLICATE_STDERR_FILTERS
Duplicates logs streamed to stderr to another specified file with a list
of filters (e.g. [--duplicate_stdout_filters 'apple,orange'] will
duplicate log lines matching 'apple' OR 'orange'. An empty filters list
won't duplicate any lines. Use double comma to escape a comma)
--node-rank NODE_RANK, --node_rank NODE_RANK
Rank of the node for multi-node distributed training. It is only used for
static rendezvous (i.e., when ``--rdzv-backend=static``).
--master-addr MASTER_ADDR, --master_addr MASTER_ADDR
Address of the master node (rank 0) that only used for static rendezvous.
It should be either the IP address or the hostname of rank 0. For single
node multi-proc training the --master-addr can simply be 127.0.0.1; IPv6
should have the pattern `[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]`.
--master-port MASTER_PORT, --master_port MASTER_PORT
Port on the master node (rank 0) to be used for communication during
distributed training. It is only used for static rendezvous. Defaults to
29500.
--local-addr LOCAL_ADDR, --local_addr LOCAL_ADDR
Address of the local node. If specified, will use the given address for
connection. Else, will look up the local node address instead. Else, it
will be default to local machine's FQDN.
--logs-specs LOGS_SPECS, --logs_specs LOGS_SPECS
torchrun.logs_specs group entrypoint name, value must be type of
LogsSpecs. Can be used to override custom logging behavior.
--numa-binding {node,socket,exclusive,core-complex}, --numa_binding {node,socket,exclusive,core-complex}
Bind worker processes to CPUs near their assigned GPUs for better
performance. See torch/numa/binding.py for available modes and details.
--signals-to-handle SIGNALS_TO_HANDLE, --signals_to_handle SIGNALS_TO_HANDLE
Comma-separated list of signals to handle and forward to subprocesses.
Default: SIGTERM,SIGINT,SIGHUP,SIGQUIT. Common additional signals:
SIGUSR1,SIGUSR2 (used in SLURM environments).
--shutdown-timeout SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT, --shutdown_timeout SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
Time in seconds to wait for graceful shutdown of worker processes before
sending SIGKILL. If not specified, uses TORCH_ELASTIC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT
environment variable or defaults to 30 seconds.
--virtual-local-rank, --virtual_local_rank
Enable virtual local rank mode for workers. When enabled, LOCAL_RANK is
set to 0 for all workers and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES is adjusted so each
worker accesses its assigned GPU at device index 0.
--print-completion {bash,zsh,tcsh}, --print_completion {bash,zsh,tcsh}
Print a shell completion script for torchrun to stdout and exit (e.g.
[--print-completion zsh > ~/.zsh/completions/_torchrun]). Requires the
optional 'shtab' package.
