This is a little hard to follow — where is the documentation currently? I am trying to follow from snippets, here is what I have based on your convo in this thread:

```>>> import os
>>>
>>> for i in range(torch.cuda.device_count()):  # send model to every GPU
...     model.to(f"cuda:{i}")
>>>
>>> def gpu_computation(example, rank):
...     torch.cuda.set_device(f"cuda:{rank}")  # use one GPU
...     inputs = tokenizer(texts, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt").to(f"cuda:{rank}")
...     outputs = model(**inputs)
...      .... 
```

but I'm getting device errors (data is on device 3, but it thinks model is on device 0, despite setting `torch.cuda.set_device`

Is this correct? What version of Torch are you using for this? 

Anyway, this didn't work for me:

`torch.cuda.set_device(f"cuda:{rank}")  # use one GPU`

but substituting it for:

`model.to(f"cuda:{rank}")`

(`.to` doesn't make a million copies of the model on the device, which I was worried it would do... so you can use it in an inner process)

(btw, versions: `torch==2.1.1`, `cuda=12.2`)

Yeah for me this issue isn't resolved yet, we need a better code example

Hi @alex2awesome, could you open a PR with your suggestion to improve this code snippet ?

i'm happy to when i get it fully working, but i feel like there are some fundamentals that I'm not fully understanding...

I've set it up twice now, for 2 GPU-processing pipelines. 

In one pipelines, my memory usage is fine, it delivers me a huge speedup, and everything is great. In the second pipeline, I keep getting OOM errors when `num_proc > 1` that I don't get when `num_proc=1`. 

There is a discussion here: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/44156 about CUDA memory leaks in multiprocessing setups, and I haven't had the time to fully read the source code to `datasets.map` to understand whether the situations are parallel. Also, if they are, then I don't know what the solution is, not really knowing how it is implemented under the hood. In that discussion, one guy offers a work-around, but it doesn't look great.

So, I haven't fully tested out enough to see what the issue. If I feel comfortable over the next several days to generate a slimmed-down example that will generalize to real-world cases such as those I'm working with now, then I will contribute it.



@lhoestq do you know how `datasets` does multiprocessing? Do we use:
https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/multiprocessing.html#module-torch.multiprocessing?

If so, there are lots of points around memory usage, here:
https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/multiprocessing.html

EDIT: ahh I see it is using python's native multiprocessing library: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/2.15.0/src/datasets/arrow_dataset.py#L3172-L3189

After some more research and playing around, I can't pinpoint the source of my CUDA memory leak nor can I determine with confidence what works and what doesn't in this setup.

I'm not really an expert on multiprocessing in general, but my gut is that the current set-up isn't ideal for multiprocessing and I'm not sure I would recommend users to do this. 

Kinda unfortunate, because I don't see any great tools for distributed inference out there, and in theory, `datasets.map` could be the standard.

Are either of you more experienced in this?

Not sure about your GPU's OOM :/

Still, I opened a PR with your suggestion here: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6550

I still get only 0 rank...

Here is my code: https://pastebin.com/c6du8jaM

from this ^ i just improt one function:


```
from test import map_train
from multiprocess import set_start_method


set_start_method("spawn")
map_train()
```

And here is the traceback:
https://pastebin.com/YijspwQK 

Also this code from your docs is not valid (source: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/main/en/process#multiprocessing):
```
for i in range(torch.cuda.device_count()):
    model.to(f"cuda:{i}")
```


This for me sends the model only to the second GPU
```
vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained(
    pretrained_model_name_or_path, subfolder="vae"
)
vae.to("cuda:0")
vae.to("cuda:1")
```

Could you please provide a working example of multi-GPU mapping?

Not just an example in docs, but a real working example starting from all imports loading datasets and models.

@alex2awesome the same issue with CUDA OOM. It should not be happening, since it should 2 different GPUs be handling different loads. But in fact something wrong is happening.

I haven't experimented much with the multi-GPU code documentation.

Can you try using the code example at https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6550 instead ? That would be super helpful if you could confirm that it works on your side

Though if you have some fixes/improvements ideas feel free to open a PR !

@lhoestq the mapping does not start at all in this case:
<img width="855" alt="image" src="https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/assets/17604849/7f29a3c1-c6dc-4bab-9955-5311256aa217">

Here is the updated code: https://pastebin.com/Kn9aGfZr

@lhoestq with this code: https://pastebin.com/muDm78kp
i now getting this error:

```

```

Also when trying to download my dataset there were no issues from one machine, but from another:
```
SSLError: (MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='huggingface.co', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/datasets/kopyl/3M_icons_monochrome_only_no_captioning/revision/753dca4be462dad7022f34cc273555ab6deb5832 (Caused by SSLError(SSLEOFError(8, '[SSL: UNEXPECTED_EOF_WHILE_READING] EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:1007)')))"), '(Request ID: 7d0881f3-1b93-4d73-bcb6-52e816d84529)')
```

Can't download my dataset at all...

Hmm this is not good, do you know a way to make it work ?

Basically `map` creates two subprocesses and runs the function in the subprocesses. Since each function has a parameter `rank` it should be possible to choose which GPU to use

I can confirm that PR #6550 works. All GPUs are at full throttle. You have to manually move the model to all GPUs.

I wrote a [blog post](https://forrestbao.github.io/2024/01/30/datasets_map_with_rank_multiple_GPUs.html) with a complete example by compiling information from several PRs and issues here. Hope it can help. Let me know how it works.
