"""
Initializes the default distributed process group, and this will also
initialize the distributed package.
There are 2 main ways to initialize a process group:
1. Specify ``store``, ``rank``, and ``world_size`` explicitly.
2. Specify ``init_method`` (a URL string) which indicates where/how
to discover peers. Optionally specify ``rank`` and ``world_size``,
or encode all required parameters in the URL and omit them.
If neither is specified, ``init_method`` is assumed to be "env://".
Args:
backend (str or Backend): The backend to use. Depending on
build-time configurations, valid values include ``mpi``, ``gloo``,
and ``nccl``. This field should be given as a lowercase string
(e.g., ``"gloo"``), which can also be accessed via
:class:`Backend` attributes (e.g., ``Backend.GLOO``). If using
multiple processes per machine with ``nccl`` backend, each process
must have exclusive access to every GPU it uses, as sharing GPUs
between processes can result in deadlocks.
init_method (str, optional): URL specifying how to initialize the
process group. Default is "env://" if no
``init_method`` or ``store`` is specified.
Mutually exclusive with ``store``.
world_size (int, optional): Number of processes participating in
the job. Required if ``store`` is specified.
rank (int, optional): Rank of the current process (it should be a
number between 0 and ``world_size``-1).
Required if ``store`` is specified.
store(Store, optional): Key/value store accessible to all workers, used
to exchange connection/address information.
Mutually exclusive with ``init_method``.
timeout (timedelta, optional): Timeout for operations executed against
the process group. Default value equals 30 minutes.
This is applicable for the ``gloo`` backend. For ``nccl``, this is
applicable only if the environment variable ``NCCL_BLOCKING_WAIT``
or ``NCCL_ASYNC_ERROR_HANDLING`` is set to 1. When
``NCCL_BLOCKING_WAIT`` is set, this is the duration for which the
process will block and wait for collectives to complete before
throwing an exception. When ``NCCL_ASYNC_ERROR_HANDLING`` is set,
this is the duration after which collectives will be aborted
asynchronously and the process will crash. ``NCCL_BLOCKING_WAIT``
will provide errors to the user which can be caught and handled,
but due to its blocking nature, it has a performance overhead. On
the other hand, ``NCCL_ASYNC_ERROR_HANDLING`` has very little
performance overhead, but crashes the process on errors. This is
done since CUDA execution is async and it is no longer safe to
continue executing user code since failed async NCCL operations
might result in subsequent CUDA operations running on corrupted
data. Only one of these two environment variables should be set.
group_name (str, optional, deprecated): Group name.
To enable ``backend == Backend.MPI``, PyTorch needs to be built from source
on a system that supports MPI.

Scatters picklable objects in ``scatter_object_input_list`` to the whole
group. Similar to :func:`scatter`, but Python objects can be passed in. On
each rank, the scattered object will be stored as the first element of
``scatter_object_output_list``. Note that all objects in
``scatter_object_input_list`` must be picklable in order to be scattered.
Args:
scatter_object_output_list (List[Any]): Non-empty list whose first
element will store the object scattered to this rank.
scatter_object_input_list (List[Any]): List of input objects to scatter.
Each object must be picklable. Only objects on the ``src`` rank will
be scattered, and the argument can be ``None`` for non-src ranks.
src (int): Source rank from which to scatter
``scatter_object_input_list``.
group: (ProcessGroup, optional): The process group to work on. If None,
the default process group will be used. Default is ``None``.
Returns:
``None``. If rank is part of the group, ``scatter_object_output_list``
will have its first element set to the scattered object for this rank.
.. note:: Note that this API differs slightly from the scatter collective
since it does not provide an ``async_op`` handle and thus will be a
blocking call.
.. warning::
:func:`scatter_object_list` uses ``pickle`` module implicitly, which
is known to be insecure. It is possible to construct malicious pickle
data which will execute arbitrary code during unpickling. Only call this
function with data you trust.
Example::
>>> # Note: Process group initialization omitted on each rank.
>>> import torch.distributed as dist
>>> if dist.get_rank() == 0:
>>> # Assumes world_size of 3.
>>> objects = ["foo", 12, {1: 2}] # any picklable object
>>> else:
>>> # Can be any list on non-src ranks, elements are not used.
>>> objects = [None, None, None]
>>> output_list = [None]
>>> dist.scatter_object_list(output_list, objects, src=0)
>>> # Rank i gets objects[i]. For example, on rank 2:
>>> output_list

[docs]def new_group(ranks=None, timeout=default_pg_timeout, backend=None):
"""
Creates a new distributed group.
This function requires that all processes in the main group (i.e. all
processes that are part of the distributed job) enter this function, even
if they are not going to be members of the group. Additionally, groups
should be created in the same order in all processes.
.. warning::
Using multiple process groups with the ``NCCL`` backend concurrently
is not safe and the user should perform explicit synchronization in
their application to ensure only one process group is used at a time.
This means collectives from one process group should have completed
execution on the device (not just enqueued since CUDA execution is
async) before collectives from another process group are enqueued.
See `Using multiple NCCL communicators concurrently <https://docs.nvid
ia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/usage/communicators.html#using
-multiple-nccl-communicators-concurrently>`_ for more details.
Args:
ranks (list[int]): List of ranks of group members. If ``None``, will be
set to all ranks. Default is ``None``.
timeout (timedelta, optional): Timeout for operations executed against
the process group. Default value equals 30 minutes.
This is only applicable for the ``gloo`` backend.
backend (str or Backend, optional): The backend to use. Depending on
build-time configurations, valid values are ``gloo`` and ``nccl``.
By default uses the same backend as the global group. This field
should be given as a lowercase string (e.g., ``"gloo"``), which can
also be accessed via :class:`Backend` attributes (e.g.,
``Backend.GLOO``).
Returns:
A handle of distributed group that can be given to collective calls.
