send¶

paddle.distributed. send ( tensor, dst=0, group=None, sync_op=True ) [source]

Send a tensor to the receiver.

Parameters

• tensor (Tensor) – The Tensor to send. Its data type should be float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, int8, uint8, bool or bfloat16.

• dst (int) – The destination rank id.

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

• sync_op (bool, optional) – Whether this op is a sync op. The default value is True.

Returns

Return a task object.

Examples

# required: distributed
import paddle
import paddle.distributed as dist

dist.init_parallel_env()
if dist.get_rank() == 0:
    data = paddle.to_tensor([7, 8, 9])
    dist.send(data, dst=1)
else:
    data = paddle.to_tensor([1, 2, 3])
    dist.recv(data, src=0)
print(data)
# [7, 8, 9] (2 GPUs)
