Ubuntu – YoloV7 – Multi-GPU constantly gives RunTime Error

I am using YoloV7 to run a training session for custom object detection. My environment is as follows:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Python : 3.10
Torch Version : '2.1.0+cu121'

I am using AWS EC2 – g5.2xlarge and g5.12xlarge instances for my training.

python3 train.py --batch 4 --data ~/yolo4iris/data.yaml --weights yolov7_training.pt

When I am using a g5.2xlarge instances which as 1gpu the training session runs without any issue. I am able to complete the training session. Since, I have more than 30k images I am trying to use g5.12xlarge instance that provides 4GPUs.

python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node 4 train.py --batch 64 --data ~/yolo4iris/data.yaml --weights yolov7_training.pt

I am using the above torch.distributed.run extension as given in Yolov7 documentation page. However, it gives me the following error.

While this sounds familiar as there are other questions with similar errors, the problem I am facing is none of the solutions help me resolve this issue. I tried the following:

  1. Setting OMP_NUM_THREADS variable in environment
  2. Changed local-rank to local_rank
  3. Changed my dataset
  4. Reinstalled YoloV7
  5. Modified the batch size from 32 to various combinations upto 4.
  6. Changed the image size from 640 to 256 and lower
  7. Ran the training session with only 2000 images.

Many other iterations and variations, but nothing seem to work for me. How can I resolve these three problems:

1.  Setting OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable for each process to be 1 in default
2.  RuntimeError: Default process group has not been initialized, please make sure to call init_process_group.
3.  torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.errors.ChildFailedError:

    Based on the cuda version you are running (you can see it with nvidia-smi) choose the last 1.12 version of pytorch that availiable.
    https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions/
    I think Yolov7 does not work with recent (i,e 2.x) versions of pytorch and also 1.13.0 is also excluded if you see in the requirments-gpu.txt

    your multi gpu command looks is missing the master_port setting, thats why you are getting the error
    RuntimeError: Default process group has not been initialized, please make sure to call init_process_group.
    Should be similar to this

    python -m torch.distributed.launch –nproc_per_node 4 –master_port 9527 train.py ""
