By default,
pytorch.distributed
is not enabled on macOS by default (seepytorch.distributed.is_available()
).In this case,
pytorch.distributed.is_initialized()
will fail. To fix this issue,pytorch.distributed.is_available()
needs to be tested first.This pull request allows passing the unittests while
distributed
is disabled.USE_DISTRIBUTED=1
to manually enable distributed training / dataloading on macOS. Set it to0
to disable it on other platforms. Maybe this behavior needs to be documented somewhere?
