At step1, single GPU works while multiple GPUs get stuck.

When I follow the same process as step 1. It's OK for me to set the nproc_per_node to 1 in base_training_args.sh (and export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to my custom device). However when I set it to a value larger than 1 (and set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES at the same time), it always gets stuck when it comes to this place:

[train set] examples: 13533; # avg tokens: 370.9773254394531
[train set] examples: 13533; # avg completion tokens: 105.39820861816406

Also, to avoid another issue, I add base_training_args="$base_training_args --fsdp 'full_shard auto_wrap' --fsdp_config llama_finetune" before setting the training_args.

What should I do to make it run on multi GPUs? By the way it works correctly on a 2 A100 sever though the environment may not be totally the same.

[Zrc007]

you could change nproc_per_node in less/scripts/train/base_training_args.sh

How did you solve this problem? I trained this step on two A6000 cards and it got stuck at the same position.
