Description

Have you encountered such problems during training?:
.conda/envs/seggpt/lib/python3.8/site-packages/torch/autograd/init.py:173: UserWarning: Grad strides do not match bucket view strides. This may indicate grad was not created according to the gradient layout contract, or that the param's strides changed since DDP was constructed. This is not an error, but may impair performance.
grad.sizes() = [1, 1, 1024], strides() = [2409472, 1024, 1]
bucket_view.sizes() = [1, 1, 1024], strides() = [1024, 1024, 1] (Triggered internally at ../torch/csrc/distributed/c10d/reducer.cpp:312.)
Variable._execution_engine.run_backward( # Calls into the C++ engine to run the backward pass

Research direction

Start by reproducing the training run that emits the warning and inspect the gradient and bucket strides reported by torch.autograd and the DDP reducer at ../torch/csrc/distributed/c10d/reducer.cpp:312. Done means determining whether the warning reflects a repository issue or an expected performance warning, and recording the cause and resolution.
