Figure 1 Error log

Possible Causes

The environment variables NCCL_IB_TC, NCCL_IB_GID_INDEX, and NCCL_IB_TIMEOUT are not configured. As a result, the communication is slow and unstable, and the IB communication is interrupted.

Solution

Add environment variables to the code.

import os
os.environ["NCCL_IB_TC"] = "128"
os.environ["NCCL_IB_GID_INDEX"] = "3"
os.environ["NCCL_IB_TIMEOUT"] = "22"
