Problem
In the multi-GPU DDP setting, the
load_adapter
function will always map the state_dict to "cuda", This causes all processes load the parameters to the first GPU, potentially causing OOM error.Changes
Add an optional "torch_device" argument to the
load_adapter
function, so that by assigning it to "cpu", the parameters will not occupy memory on the first GPU.
