torch.cuda.comm.reduce_add_coalesced

torch.cuda.comm.reduce_add_coalesced(inputs, destination=None, buffer_size=10485760) [source]

Sum tensors from multiple GPUs.

Small tensors are first coalesced into a buffer to reduce the number of synchronizations.

Parameters

• inputs (Iterable[Iterable[Tensor]]) – iterable of iterables that contain tensors from a single device.
• destination (int, optional) – a device on which the output will be placed (default: current device).
• buffer_size (int) – maximum size of the buffer used for coalescing

Returns

A tuple of tensors containing an elementwise sum of each group of inputs, placed on the destination device.
