Description

I am running Tensorboard on distributed training logs. I can see operations on different parameter servers. They are color coded differently with device placement toggle. But, I can’t see operations run on different workers separately. Looks like everything has got merged in to worker 0.

Is there any way, to take a look at what different workers are doing in distributed settings?

Research direction

Reproduce the distributed TensorFlow run in TensorBoard using logs from parameter servers and multiple workers, then inspect the device-placement visualization and its worker-0 aggregation. Determine whether the existing visualization can expose worker-specific operations; done means operations from different workers are displayed separately.
