Distributed training not working on two Apple IMac devices

I am following the tutorial here but I am not able to get it to work. Everytime I try to run the command from my master computer, I get the following error:

My devices are:

Two iMac (M1, 2021) with macOS Monterey

I am not using nfsd as both devices have the file stored in there.

This is how I installed dgl and torch in both of my devices:

conda create --name dist-gnn python=3.8
conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch
conda install -c dglteam dgl

I have set up passwordless ssh on both the devices.

The strange thing is that when I manually login to the devices I can easily import torch but I am not sure why the subprocess is failing. Any help would be really helpful!

PS: I did updated the original launch script to call conda activate dist-gnn and print some things for debugging.

It seems that conda cannot be activated if you use remote ssh cmd. Could you verify that first?

When I manually ssh to a machine2 from machine1, i can activate conda just fine and can also import torch module and verify it just like here.

How about sth. like
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 22 ccsp-admin@192.168.50.200 "conda activate dist-gnn; python -c 'import torch'"

If the above fails, then it perhaps is related to the ssh setting rather than DGL.

Ok I was able to make that run, I just needed to add . ~/.zshrc before my conda script to make it run.

But when it ran, it gave me another error which I am not sure why is happening. The error is below, do you know the reason behind it? Thanks

Which version of DGL are you using?

I am using 0.7.2 and using Pytorch as backend.

Hi @kartikeyas00 , after digging the code a bit. We found the error is caused by dgl/rpc.cc at d798280f198ae17ca39680d6167d3e6b1b6b43e1 · dmlc/dgl · GitHub , where it skips registering signal handlers if on a non-linux OS. That’s currently a limitation unfortunately. We will try to see if we could improve it in the future releases.

Should I open an issue on GitHub? Also, do you know when it will be resolved, like a timeline? I would appreciate it!

Yeah, opening an issue will be great. We’ll add that to the project tracker will let you know when it is scheduled.

I have submitted a new issue here
