Motivation

There appears to be a bug in computing the gpu_id when gpu_id_step>1.

Example: TP=2 PP=2 gpu_id_step=2

  • expect 0,2,4,6
  • however, the first inner loop of tp_rank_range yields 0,2, the second yields 2,4

Modifications

compute the gpu_offset separately and multiply by gpu_id_step

Summary of Changes

Hello @TomQuartz, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical bug in the calculation of GPU IDs within a distributed computing environment, specifically when a gpu_id_step greater than one is configured. The change ensures that GPU assignments are correctly derived by applying the gpu_id_step to the combined offset from both pipeline and tensor parallelism ranks, preventing misconfigurations and enabling proper scaling across multiple GPUs.

Highlights

  • Corrected GPU ID Calculation: The core logic for calculating gpu_id within the _launch_subprocesses function in engine.py has been revised. Previously, the server_args.gpu_id_step was only applied to the tensor parallelism (TP) rank component of the GPU offset. The fix now correctly computes a combined gpu_offset by summing the contributions from both pipeline parallelism (PP) and TP ranks, and then multiplies this total offset by server_args.gpu_id_step. This ensures accurate and consistent GPU assignment in distributed setups, particularly when gpu_id_step is greater than 1, resolving the reported bug.
  • Minor Formatting Adjustment: A minor whitespace adjustment was made in an error message string related to data_parallel_rank within the async_generate function (line 266).

Code Review

The pull request fixes a bug in computing the gpu_id when gpu_id_step > 1. The fix involves computing the gpu_offset separately and then multiplying it by gpu_id_step to get the correct gpu_id. There's a potential issue in the calculation of gpu_offset where the multiplication by server_args.gpu_id_step might be missing, which could lead to incorrect gpu_id assignment.
