Why my Accelerate just doesn't work?
env:torch1.7 -cuda11.0 -nccl2.7.88 V100 GPUsubuntucmds:pip install transformers
pip install acceleratethen I set up withaccelerate config:Which type of machine are you using? ([0] No distributed training, [1] multi-CPU, [2] multi-GPU, [3] TPU): 2
How many different machines will you use (use more than 1 for multi-node training)? [1]: 1
Do you want to use DeepSpeed? [yes/NO]: No
How many processes in total will you use? [1]: 4
Do you wish to use FP16 (mixed precision)? [yes/NO]: noNow the error comes out, when I check withaccelerate test, I got:Running:  accelerate-launch --config_file=None /home/me/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/accelerate/test_utils/test_script.py

Thanks a lot!!!

@sguggercould you please help me?

Will have a look later today. I think it’s a problem with older versions of PyTorch so if you can upgrade, it should solve the issue, but will fix for older versions
