# This is a fully working simple example to use Accelerate
#
# This example trains a ResNet50 on the Oxford-IIT Pet Dataset
# in any of the following settings (with the same script):
#   - single CPU or single GPU
#   - multi GPUS (using PyTorch distributed mode)
#   - (multi) TPUs
#   - fp16 (mixed-precision) or fp32 (normal precision)
#
# To run it in each of these various modes, follow the instructions
# in the readme for examples:
# https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/tree/main/examples

数据准备

wget https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/pets/data/images.tar.gz
tar -xzf images.tar.gz

运行命令

1. 使用accelerator指定配置文件地址

accelerate config --config_file config.yaml

或者使用默认配置

accelerate config

注意：直接使用accelerator config在命令行中手动一步步配置，这样最后执行时就是用的是默认配置，默认配置地址为~/.cache/huggingface/accelerate/default_config.yaml 

 2. 运行脚本

accelerate launch --main_process_ip 127.0.0.1 --main_process_port 29500 cv_example.py --data_dir ./images

可能会存在模型下载不成功报错的问题

wget -P ~/.cache/torch/hub/checkpoints https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models/releases/download/v0.1-weights/resnet50d_ra2-464e36ba.pth

BUG:卡住

通过debug发现卡在accelerator.prepare()语句，怀疑于硬件配置有关系，去accelerate官网issues寻找答案。

1. 检查显卡型号

一般有些显卡30系列和40系列会存在不支持NCCL的某些功能，所以需要手动设置关掉

2. 修改配置文件~/.bashrc

sudo vim ~/.bashrc

3. 添加两行禁用NCCL的变量

# 禁用P2P通信（默认或显式设置是1）
export NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1  

# 禁用P2P通信（默认或显式设置是1）  
export NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1 

4. 让配置文件生效

source ~/.bashrc

重新运行

accelerate launch --main_process_ip 127.0.0.1 --main_process_port 29500 cv_example.py --data_dir ./images

一切正常！！！
