# Gather | ||
|
||
This file provides an example of collective communication using gather across single and multiple worlds. This exaplme will perform gather 100 times on each rank from each world using a destination rank from a range from 0 to 2. | ||
|
||
`--worldinfo` argument is composed by the world index(1, 2) and the rank in that world (0, 1 or 2). | ||
|
||
## Running the Script in a Single World | ||
|
||
The single world example can be executed by opening 3 separate terminal windows to have 3 different processes and running the following commands in each terminal window: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
# on terminal window 1 - will initialize 2 worlds (world1 and world2) with rank 0 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,0 --worldinfo 2,0 | ||
# on terminal window 2 - will initialize world1 with rank 1 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,1 | ||
# on terminal window 3 - will initialize world1 with rank 2 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,2 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Running the Script in Multiple Worlds | ||
|
||
The multiple world examplecan be executed by opening 5 separate terminal windows to have 5 different processes and running the following commands in each terminal window: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
# on terminal window 1 - will initialize 2 worlds (world1 and world2) with rank 0 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,0 --worldinfo 2,0 | ||
# on terminal window 2 - will initialize world1 with rank 1 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,1 | ||
# on terminal window 3 - will initialize world1 with rank 2 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,2 | ||
# on terminal window 4 - will initialize world2 with rank 1 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 2,1 | ||
# on terminal window 5 - will initialize world2 with rank 2 | ||
python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 2,2 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To run processes on different hosts, `--addr` arugment can be used witn host's IP address. (`python m8d.py --backend nccl --worldinfo 1,0 --worldinfo 2,0 --addr 10.20.1.50`) |
