[docs]class JoinHook(): r""" This defines a join hook, which provides two entry points in the join context manager: a main hook, which is called repeatedly while there exists a non-joined process, and a post-hook, which is called once all processes have joined. To implement a join hook for the generic join context manager, define a class that inherits from :class:`JoinHook` and override ``main_hook()`` and ``post_hook()`` as appropriate. """

[docs]class Join(): r""" This class defines the generic join context manager, which allows custom hooks to be called after a process joins. These hooks should shadow the collective communications of non-joined processes to prevent hanging and erroring and to ensure algorithmic correctness. Refer to :class:`JoinHook` for details about the hook definition. .. warning:: The context manager requires each participating :class:`Joinable` to call the method :meth:`notify_join_context()` before its own per- iteration collective communications to ensure correctness. .. warning:: The context manager requires that all ``process_group`` attributes in the :class:`JoinHook` objects are the same. If there are multiple :class:`JoinHook` objects, then the ``device`` of the first is used. The process group and device information is used for checking for non- joined processes and for notifying processes to throw an exception if ``throw_on_early_termination`` is enabled, both of which using an all- reduce. Arguments: joinables (List[Joinable]): a list of the participating :class:`Joinable` s; their hooks are iterated over in the given order. enable (bool): a flag enabling uneven input detection; setting to ``False`` disables the context manager's functionality and should only be set when the user knows the inputs will not be uneven (default: ``True``). throw_on_early_termination (bool): a flag controlling whether to throw an exception upon detecting uneven inputs (default: ``False``). Example:: >>> import os >>> import torch >>> import torch.distributed as dist >>> import torch.multiprocessing as mp >>> import torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel as DDP >>> import torch.distributed.optim.ZeroRedundancyOptimizer as ZeRO >>> from torch.distributed.algorithms.join import Join >>> >>> # On each spawned worker >>> def worker(rank): >>> dist.init_process_group("nccl", rank=rank, world_size=2) >>> model = DDP(torch.nn.Linear(1, 1).to(rank), device_ids=[rank]) >>> optim = ZeRO(model.parameters(), torch.optim.Adam, lr=0.01) >>> # Rank 1 gets one more input than rank 0 >>> inputs = [torch.tensor([1.]).to(rank) for _ in range(10 + rank)] >>> with Join([model, optim]): >>> for input in inputs: >>> loss = model(input).sum() >>> loss.backward() >>> optim.step() >>> # All ranks reach here without hanging/erroring """ def __init__( self, joinables: List[Joinable], enable: bool = True, throw_on_early_termination: bool = False, **kwargs, ): if len(joinables) == 0: raise ValueError("The join context manager requires at least one joinable") self._joinables = joinables self._join_hooks = [joinable.join_hook(**kwargs) for joinable in self._joinables] self._enable = enable self._throw_on_early_termination = throw_on_early_termination self._set_joinable_configs() self._extract_dist_info() def _set_joinable_configs(self) -> None: r""" Sets the :class:`_JoinConfig` of each participating :class:`Joinable`.
