all_gather¶

paddle.distributed. all_gather ( tensor_list, tensor, group=None, use_calc_stream=True ) [source]

Gather tensors from all participators and all get the result.

Parameters

• tensor_list (list) – A list of output Tensors. Every element in the list must be a Tensor whose data type should be float16, float32, float64, int32 or int64.

• tensor (Tensor) – The Tensor to send. Its data type should be float16, float32, float64, int32 or int64.

• group (Group) – The group instance return by new_group or None for global default group.

• use_calc_stream (bool) – Wether to use calculation stream (True) or communication stream (False). Default to True.

Returns

None.

Examples

import numpy as np
import paddle
from paddle.distributed import init_parallel_env

paddle.set_device('gpu:%d'%paddle.distributed.ParallelEnv().dev_id)
init_parallel_env()
tensor_list = []
if paddle.distributed.ParallelEnv().local_rank == 0:
    np_data1 = np.array([[4, 5, 6], [4, 5, 6]])
    np_data2 = np.array([[4, 5, 6], [4, 5, 6]])
    data1 = paddle.to_tensor(np_data1)
    data2 = paddle.to_tensor(np_data2)
    paddle.distributed.all_gather(tensor_list, data1)
else:
    np_data1 = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]])
    np_data2 = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]])
    data1 = paddle.to_tensor(np_data1)
    data2 = paddle.to_tensor(np_data2)
    paddle.distributed.all_gather(tensor_list, data2)
