Initialize the default distributed process group.
This will also initialize the distributed package.
There are 2 main ways to initialize a process group:
1. Specify ``store``, ``rank``, and ``world_size`` explicitly.
2. Specify ``init_method`` (a URL string) which indicates where/how
to discover peers. Optionally specify ``rank`` and ``world_size``,
or encode all required parameters in the URL and omit them.
If neither is specified, ``init_method`` is assumed to be "env://".
Args:
backend (str or Backend, optional): The backend to use. Depending on
build-time configurations, valid values include ``mpi``, ``gloo``,
``nccl``, and ``ucc``. If the backend is not provided, then both a ``gloo``
and ``nccl`` backend will be created, see notes below for how multiple
backends are managed. This field can be given as a lowercase string
(e.g., ``"gloo"``), which can also be accessed via
:class:`Backend` attributes (e.g., ``Backend.GLOO``). If using
multiple processes per machine with ``nccl`` backend, each process
must have exclusive access to every GPU it uses, as sharing GPUs
between processes can result in deadlocks. ``ucc`` backend is
experimental.
init_method (str, optional): URL specifying how to initialize the
process group. Default is "env://" if no
``init_method`` or ``store`` is specified.
Mutually exclusive with ``store``.
world_size (int, optional): Number of processes participating in
the job. Required if ``store`` is specified.
rank (int, optional): Rank of the current process (it should be a
number between 0 and ``world_size``-1).
Required if ``store`` is specified.
store(Store, optional): Key/value store accessible to all workers, used
to exchange connection/address information.
Mutually exclusive with ``init_method``.
timeout (timedelta, optional): Timeout for operations executed against
the process group. Default value is 10 minutes for NCCL and 30 minutes for other backends.
This is the duration after which collectives will be aborted asynchronously and the process will crash.
This is done since CUDA execution is async and it is no longer safe to continue executing user code since
failed async NCCL operations might result in subsequent CUDA operations running on corrupted data.
When TORCH_NCCL_BLOCKING_WAIT is set, the process will block and wait for this timeout.
group_name (str, optional, deprecated): Group name. This argument is ignored
pg_options (ProcessGroupOptions, optional): process group options
specifying what additional options need to be passed in during
the construction of specific process groups. As of now, the only
options we support is ``ProcessGroupNCCL.Options`` for the ``nccl``
backend, ``is_high_priority_stream`` can be specified so that
the nccl backend can pick up high priority cuda streams when
there're compute kernels waiting. For other availble options to config nccl,
See https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/api/types.html#ncclconfig-t
device_id (torch.device, optional): a single, specific device
to "bind" this process to, allowing for backend-specific
optimizations. Currently this has two effects, only under
NCCL: the communicator is immediately formed (calling
``ncclCommInit*`` immediately rather than the normal lazy
call) and sub-groups will use ``ncclCommSplit`` when
possible to avoid unnecessary overhead of group creation. If you
want to know NCCL initialization error early, you can also use this
field.
.. note:: To enable ``backend == Backend.MPI``, PyTorch needs to be built from source
on a system that supports MPI.
.. note:: Support for multiple backends is experimental. Currently when no backend is
specified, both ``gloo`` and ``nccl`` backends will be created. The ``gloo`` backend
will be used for collectives with CPU tensors and the ``nccl`` backend will be used
for collectives with CUDA tensors. A custom backend can be specified by passing in
a string with format "<device_type>:<backend_name>,<device_type>:<backend_name>", e.g.
"cpu:gloo,cuda:custom_backend".

Rank 0 will block until all send /recv from other ranks are processed, and will report
failures for ranks that failed to respond in time. Note that if one rank does not reach the
monitored_barrier (for example due to a hang), all other ranks would fail in monitored_barrier.

be used for debugging or scenarios that require full synchronization points

This function requires that all processes in the main group (i.e. all
processes that are part of the distributed job) enter this function, even
if they are not going to be members of the group. Additionally, groups
should be created in the same order in all processes.
.. warning::
Safe concurrent usage:
When using multiple process groups with the ``NCCL`` backend, the user
must ensure a globally consistent execution order of collectives across
ranks.
If multiple threads within a process issue collectives, explicit
synchronization is necessary to ensure consistent ordering.
When using async variants of torch.distributed communication APIs,
a work object is returned and the communication kernel is
enqueued on a separate CUDA stream, allowing overlap of communication
and computation. Once one or more async ops have been issued on one process
group, they must be synchronized with other cuda streams by calling `work.wait()`
before using another process group.
See `Using multiple NCCL communicators concurrently <https://docs.nvid
ia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/usage/communicators.html#using
-multiple-nccl-communicators-concurrently>`_ for more details.

build-time configurations, valid values are ``gloo`` and ``nccl``.
By default uses the same backend as the global group. This field
should be given as a lowercase string (e.g., ``"gloo"``), which can
also be accessed via :class:`Backend` attributes (e.g.,
``Backend.GLOO``). If ``None`` is passed in, the backend
corresponding to the default process group will be used. Default is
``None``.
pg_options (ProcessGroupOptions, optional): process group options
specifying what additional options need to be passed in during
the construction of specific process groups. i.e. for the ``nccl``
backend, ``is_high_priority_stream`` can be specified so that
process group can pick up high priority cuda streams. For other availble options to config nccl,
See https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/api/types.html#ncclconfig-t

N.B. use_local_synchronization doesn't work with MPI.
N.B. While use_local_synchronization=True can be significantly faster with larger
clusters and small process groups, care must be taken since it changes cluster behavior
as non-member ranks don't join the group barrier().

"""
Create subgroups of equal size.
By default, it creates intra-machine subgroups,
where each of which contains all the ranks of a machine, based on the assumption
that each machine has the same number of devices.
This is a convenience API that calls ``new_group`` to generate multiple subgroups.
It requires that all processes in the main group (i.e. all
processes that are part of the distributed job) enter this function, even
if they are not going to be members of the group.
.. warning::
If ``group_size`` is passed in, the world size must be divisible by ``group_size``.
If no ``group_size`` is passed in, it believe that you are creating a group based
on CUDA and determining the group size by number of CUDA devices, and if not all
the machines have the same number of devices, the subgroup division will be
different across nodes and can cause unexpected behaviors. Therefore, if you are
creating a subgroup that does not depend on CUDA (such as Gloo on CPU), please
pass in ``group_size`` correctly.
.. warning::
See warning `Safe concurrent usage` for `new_group` API for important details about
using multiple process groups concurrently in a safe manner.
Args:
group_size (int, optional): The size of each subgroup. If ``None``,
the default subgroup size is equal to the number of devices on each machine,
based on the assumption that each machine has exactly the same
number of devices. Default is ``None``.
timeout (timedelta, optional): see `init_process_group` for details and default value.
backend (str or Backend, optional): The backend to use. Depending on
build-time configurations, valid values are ``gloo`` and ``nccl``.
By default uses the same backend as the global group. This field
should be given as a lowercase string (e.g., ``"gloo"``), which can
also be accessed via :class:`Backend` attributes (e.g.,
``Backend.GLOO``). If ``None`` is passed in, the backend
corresponding to the default process group will be used. Default is
``None``.
pg_options (ProcessGroupOptions, optional): process group options
specifying what additional options need to be passed in during
the construction of specific process groups. i.e. for the ``nccl``
backend, ``is_high_priority_stream`` can be specified so that
process group can pick up high priority cuda streams.
group_desc (str, optional): A string describing the group. Each subgroup will
inherit its group_desc
Returns:
The subgroup containing the current rank, and all the subgroups used for cleanup.
Examples:
>>> # Create intra-machine subgroups.
>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("need process group init")
>>> cur_subgroup, subgroups = dist.new_subgroups()
>>> # Allreduce within the machine.
>>> rank = dist.get_rank()
>>> tensor = torch.ones(1, device=rank) * rank
>>> dist.all_reduce(tensor, group=cur_subgroup)
