[docs]class DistributedSyncDataCollector(DataCollectorBase): """A distributed synchronous data collector with torch.distributed backend. Args: create_env_fn (Callable or List[Callabled]): list of Callables, each returning an instance of :class:`~torchrl.envs.EnvBase`. policy (Callable): Policy to be executed in the environment. Must accept :class:`tensordict.tensordict.TensorDictBase` object as input. If ``None`` is provided, the policy used will be a :class:`~torchrl.collectors.RandomPolicy` instance with the environment ``action_spec``. Accepted policies are usually subclasses of :class:`~tensordict.nn.TensorDictModuleBase`. This is the recommended usage of the collector. Other callables are accepted too: If the policy is not a ``TensorDictModuleBase`` (e.g., a regular :class:`~torch.nn.Module` instances) it will be wrapped in a `nn.Module` first. Then, the collector will try to assess if these modules require wrapping in a :class:`~tensordict.nn.TensorDictModule` or not. - If the policy forward signature matches any of ``forward(self, tensordict)``, ``forward(self, td)`` or ``forward(self, <anything>: TensorDictBase)`` (or any typing with a single argument typed as a subclass of ``TensorDictBase``) then the policy won't be wrapped in a :class:`~tensordict.nn.TensorDictModule`. - In all other cases an attempt to wrap it will be undergone as such: ``TensorDictModule(policy, in_keys=env_obs_key, out_keys=env.action_keys)``. Keyword Args: frames_per_batch (int): A keyword-only argument representing the total number of elements in a batch. total_frames (int): A keyword-only argument representing the total number of frames returned by the collector during its lifespan. If the ``total_frames`` is not divisible by ``frames_per_batch``, an exception is raised. Endless collectors can be created by passing ``total_frames=-1``. Defaults to ``-1`` (endless collector). device (int, str or torch.device, optional): The generic device of the collector. The ``device`` args fills any non-specified device: if ``device`` is not ``None`` and any of ``storing_device``, ``policy_device`` or ``env_device`` is not specified, its value will be set to ``device``. Defaults to ``None`` (No default device). Lists of devices are supported. storing_device (int, str or torch.device, optional): The *remote* device on which the output :class:`~tensordict.TensorDict` will be stored. If ``device`` is passed and ``storing_device`` is ``None``, it will default to the value indicated by ``device``. For long trajectories, it may be necessary to store the data on a different device than the one where the policy and env are executed. Defaults to ``None`` (the output tensordict isn't on a specific device, leaf tensors sit on the device where they were created). Lists of devices are supported. env_device (int, str or torch.device, optional): The *remote* device on which the environment should be cast (or executed if that functionality is supported). If not specified and the env has a non-``None`` device, ``env_device`` will default to that value. If ``device`` is passed and ``env_device=None``, it will default to ``device``. If the value as such specified of ``env_device`` differs from ``policy_device`` and one of them is not ``None``, the data will be cast to ``env_device`` before being passed to the env (i.e., passing different devices to policy and env is supported). Defaults to ``None``. Lists of devices are supported. policy_device (int, str or torch.device, optional): The *remote* device on which the policy should be cast. If ``device`` is passed and ``policy_device=None``, it will default to ``device``. If the value as such specified of ``policy_device`` differs from ``env_device`` and one of them is not ``None``, the data will be cast to ``policy_device`` before being passed to the policy (i.e., passing different devices to policy and env is supported). Defaults to ``None``. Lists of devices are supported. max_frames_per_traj (int, optional): Maximum steps per trajectory. Note that a trajectory can span across multiple batches (unless ``reset_at_each_iter`` is set to ``True``, see below). Once a trajectory reaches ``n_steps``, the environment is reset. If the environment wraps multiple environments together, the number of steps is tracked for each environment independently. Negative values are allowed, in which case this argument is ignored. Defaults to ``None`` (i.e., no maximum number of steps). init_random_frames (int, optional): Number of frames for which the policy is ignored before it is called. This feature is mainly intended to be used in offline/model-based settings, where a batch of random trajectories can be used to initialize training. If provided, it will be rounded up to the closest multiple of frames_per_batch. Defaults to ``None`` (i.e. no random frames). reset_at_each_iter (bool, optional): Whether environments should be reset at the beginning of a batch collection. Defaults to ``False``. postproc (Callable, optional): A post-processing transform, such as a :class:`~torchrl.envs.Transform` or a :class:`~torchrl.data.postprocs.MultiStep` instance. Defaults to ``None``. split_trajs (bool, optional): Boolean indicating whether the resulting TensorDict should be split according to the trajectories. See :func:`~torchrl.collectors.utils.split_trajectories` for more information. Defaults to ``False``. exploration_type (ExplorationType, optional): interaction mode to be used when collecting data. Must be one of ``torchrl.envs.utils.ExplorationType.DETERMINISTIC``, ``torchrl.envs.utils.ExplorationType.RANDOM``, ``torchrl.envs.utils.ExplorationType.MODE`` or ``torchrl.envs.utils.ExplorationType.MEAN``. collector_class (type or str, optional): a collector class for the remote node. Can be :class:`~torchrl.collectors.SyncDataCollector`, :class:`~torchrl.collectors.MultiSyncDataCollector`, :class:`~torchrl.collectors.MultiaSyncDataCollector` or a derived class of these. The strings "single", "sync" and "async" correspond to respective class. Defaults to :class:`~torchrl.collectors.SyncDataCollector`. collector_kwargs (dict or list, optional): a dictionary of parameters to be passed to the remote data-collector. If a list is provided, each element will correspond to an individual set of keyword arguments for the dedicated collector. num_workers_per_collector (int, optional): the number of copies of the env constructor that is to be used on the remote nodes. Defaults to 1 (a single env per collector). On a single worker node all the sub-workers will be executing the same environment. If different environments need to be executed, they should be dispatched across worker nodes, not subnodes. slurm_kwargs (dict): a dictionary of parameters to be passed to the submitit executor. backend (str, optional): must a string "<distributed_backed>" where <distributed_backed> is one of ``"gloo"``, ``"mpi"``, ``"nccl"`` or ``"ucc"``. See the torch.distributed documentation for more information. Defaults to ``"gloo"``. max_weight_update_interval (int, optional): the maximum number of batches that can be collected before the policy weights of a worker is updated. For sync collections, this parameter is overwritten by ``update_after_each_batch``. For async collections, it may be that one worker has not seen its parameters being updated for a certain time even if ``update_after_each_batch`` is turned on. Defaults to -1 (no forced update). update_interval (int, optional): the frequency at which the policy is updated. Defaults to 1. launcher (str, optional): how jobs should be launched. Can be one of "submitit" or "mp" for multiprocessing. The former can launch jobs across multiple nodes, whilst the latter will only launch jobs on a single machine. "submitit" requires the homonymous library to be installed. To find more about submitit, visit https://github.com/facebookincubator/submitit Defaults to "submitit". tcp_port (int, optional): the TCP port to be used. Defaults to 10003.
