<p>In the context of Torch Distributed Elastic we use the term <em>rendezvous</em> to
refer to a particular functionality that combines a <strong>distributed
synchronization</strong> primitive with <strong>peer discovery</strong>.</p>
<p>It is used by Torch Distributed Elastic to gather participants of a training
job (i.e. nodes) such that they all agree on the same list of participants and
everyone’s roles, as well as make a consistent collective decision on when
training can begin/resume.</p>
<p>Torch Distributed Elastic rendezvous provides the following critical
functionalities:</p>
<p><strong>Barrier</strong>:</p>
<p>Nodes performing rendezvous will all block until the rendezvous is considered
complete - this happens when at least <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">min</span></code> total number of nodes have joined
the rendezvous barrier (for the same job). This also implies the barrier is not
necessarily of fixed size.</p>
<p>There’s an additional small waiting time after reaching <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">min</span></code> number of
nodes - this is used to ensure the rendezvous is not completed “too quickly”
(which could potentially exclude additional nodes attempting to join at
approximately the same time).</p>
<p>If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">max</span></code> number of nodes is gathered at the barrier, the rendezvous is
completed immediately.</p>
<p>There’s also an overall timeout which causes the rendezvous to fail if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">min</span></code>
number of nodes is never reached - this is meant to be a simple fail-safe to
help release partially allocated job resources, in case there’s a problem with
the resource manager, and is meant to be interpreted as non-retryable.</p>
<p><strong>Exclusivity</strong>:</p>
<p>A simple distributed barrier would not be sufficient, as we also need to ensure
that only one group of nodes exists at any given time (for a given job). In
other words, new nodes (i.e. joining late) should not be able to form a parallel
independent group of workers for the same job.</p>
<p>Torch Distributed Elastic rendezvous ensures that if a group of nodes has
already completed a rendezvous (and hence might already be training), then
additional “late” nodes attempting to rendezvous will only announce themselves
as waiting, and will have to wait until the (previously completed) existing
rendezvous is destroyed first.</p>
<p><strong>Consistency</strong>:</p>
<p>When a rendezvous is completed, all its members will agree on the job membership
and everyone’s role in it. This role is represented using an integer, called
rank, that is between between 0 and world size.</p>
<p>Note that ranks are <em>not stable</em>, in the sense that the same node can be
assigned a different rank in the next (re-)rendezvous.</p>
<p><strong>Fault-tolerance</strong>:</p>
<p>Torch Distributed Elastic rendezvous is designed to tolerate node failures
during the rendezvous process. Should a process crash (or lose network
connectivity, etc), between joining the rendezvous and it being completed, then
a re-rendezvous with remaining healthy nodes will happen automatically.</p>
<p>A node can also fail <em>after</em> it has completed (or <em>has been observered</em> by other
nodes to have completed) the rendezvous - this scenario will be handled by the
Torch Distributed Elastic <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">train_loop</span></code> instead (where it will also trigger a
re-rendezvous).</p>
<p><strong>Shared key-value store</strong>:</p>
<p>When the rendezvous is completed, a shared key-value store is created and
returned. This store implements a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.distributed.Store</span></code> API (see
<a class="reference external" href="https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/distributed.html">distributed communication docs</a>).</p>
<p>This store is only shared by the members of the completed rendezvous. It
is intended to be used by Torch Distributed Elastic to exchange information
necessary to initialize job control and data-planes.</p>
<p><strong>Waiting workers and rendezvous closing</strong>:</p>
<p>Torch Distributed Elastic rendezvous handler object provides additional
functionalities, which are technically not part of the rendezvous process:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Querying how many workers arrived late at the barrier, who can participate in
<em>next</em> rendezvous.</p></li>
<li><p>Setting the rendezvous <em>closed</em> to signal all nodes not to participate in
next rendezvous.</p></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>DynamicRendezvousHandler</strong>:</p>
<p>Torch Distributed Elastic comes with the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.distributed.elastic.rendezvous.dynamic_rendezvous.DynamicRendezvousHandler" title="torch.distributed.elastic.rendezvous.dynamic_rendezvous.DynamicRendezvousHandler"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DynamicRendezvousHandler</span></code></a>
class that implements the rendezvous mechanism described above. It is a backend-
agnostic type that expects a particular <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.distributed.elastic.rendezvous.dynamic_rendezvous.RendezvousBackend" title="torch.distributed.elastic.rendezvous.dynamic_rendezvous.RendezvousBackend"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RendezvousBackend</span></code></a> instance
to be specified during construction.</p>
<p>Torch distributed users can either implement their own backend type or use one
of the following implementations that come with PyTorch:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="#torch.distributed.elastic.rendezvous.c10d_rendezvous_backend.C10dRendezvousBackend" title="torch.distributed.elastic.rendezvous.c10d_rendezvous_backend.C10dRendezvousBackend"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">C10dRendezvousBackend</span></code></a>: Uses a C10d store (by default
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TCPStore</span></code>) as the rendezvous backend. The main advantage of using a C10d
store is that it requires no 3rd-party dependency (such as etcd) to establish
a rendezvous.</p></li>
