Description

Hi! I have two servers and every server has 4 P40 GPUs. How to run nccl-test with msccl.
server1(10.0.0.13) <---> (10.0.0.15)server2
I can run successfully in server1 or server2 with their 4 GPUs, but it runs failed and has some errors when I run with server1 and server2, 2 nodes.

  1. hostfile:
    10.0.0.13 slots=4
    10.0.0.15 slots=4

  2. my xml file:
    python msccl-tools/examples/mscclang/allreduce_a100_allpairs.py --protocol=LL 8 1 > test-reduce-8-1.xml

  3. command:
    mpirun --allow-run-as-root -np 8 \

-hostfile hostfile

Research direction

Start with the hostfile, generated test-reduce-8-1.xml, and the mpirun command in the issue, then review the attached msccl-2nodes-faillog.txt alongside the NCCL messages from ibv_modify_qp and socketProgressOpt. Done means identifying why the two-node run fails and documenting a working way to run nccl-tests with msccl across the two servers.
