Description

Dear HangZhang,
Thanks for your code! I was working on a multi-GPU version of my code, which is like:

model = CDCK2(xxx)
model = encoding.parallel.DataParallelModel(model).cuda()

The model is something like h, z=model(x).

While running the model using encoding.parallel.DataParallelModel, it gives me an error of "too many values to unpack". I believe the error must be that the model returns multiple output from different GPUs. I'm not very familiar of data parallelism. Could you please share some hints on how to fix this?

Research direction

Start by inspecting encoding.parallel.DataParallelModel and the CDCK2 call that returns h and z. Reproduce the multi-GPU run and determine how the returned values are unpacked; done would mean the model runs without the reported “too many values to unpack” error.
