Description
Describe the bug
GPT-J Inference on batch size > 2 crashes with CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered
To Reproduce
Colab that reproduces this error: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VMGpWMUDc4vHMEHL5aJ-4fQ2_w4c8b_Y?usp=sharing
Note that it uses Brendan Dolan-Gavitt's variant of Codegen-350M (converted to GPT-J format). Colab GPUs can't handle the original GPT-J 6B model, so I'm using this. But the same issue arises with GPT-j-6b too (https://twitter.com/abacaj/status/1649889879579344896)
Expected behavior
Cuda error should not arise.

Research direction
Start with the linked Colab and reproduce the crash using GPT-J or the Codegen-350M GPT-J variant at batch sizes above 2. Compare the failing and working batch sizes, then trace the relevant DeepSpeed inference path; done means inference completes without the illegal CUDA memory access on the reported GPU and software versions.
