[BUG]There is a problem with asynchronous communication in zero stage2 #2868

Open Baibaifan opened 1 year ago

Baibaifan commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug There is a problem with asynchronous communication in zero stage2 by using overlap_comm.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Use deepspeed zero-2 on the hugging face to train the bloomz-7b1-mt model. When you enable overlap_comm = true and control the randomness, you still find that the loss is different every time.

model: bloomz-7b1-mt zero2-config:

    "fp16": {
        "enabled": true,
        "loss_scale": 0,
