Description
As described in PyTorch Lightning documentation, the logs need to be synchronised using sync_dist=True.
For example in DeepAR, I think there should be an extra parameter when running distributed training.
I notice that when training on multi-GPU SageMaker instances I don't see the a performance uplift compared to a single-GPU instance. I also get a warning output from PyTorch Lightning.
It is recommended to use `self.log('train_loss', ..., sync_dist=True)` when logging on epoch level in distributed setting to accumulate the metric across devices.
To Reproduce
It's difficult to reproduce as I'm running a SageMaker Training job.
SM_CURRENT_INSTANCE_TYPE=ml.g4dn.12xlarge
SM_NUM_CPUS=48
SM_NUM_GPUS=4
You can see by the set up there are 4 GPUs, which are detected by PyTorch Lightning as the logs look like this:
