Addresses issue hpcaitech#6349 where multi-node training gets stuck during distributed initialization when using torchrun in Kubernetes. Root Cause: - Missing rendezvous backend configuration in torchrun - No master node readiness checks in K8s pod startup - Insufficient timeout configuration for container networking - Lack of Kubernetes-specific networking setup Solution: Enhanced Initialization (colossalai/initialize.py): - Add master node readiness checks for non-master ranks - Implement configurable timeouts via environment variables - Provide detailed error messages with troubleshooting guidance - Add robust error handling for distributed process group init Kubernetes Utilities (colossalai/utils/k8s_distributed.py): - Environment variable validation with helpful errors - Automatic K8s networking configuration (NCCL, Gloo) - YAML generation for headless services and training jobs - Comprehensive diagnostics and troubleshooting tools Documentation & Examples: - Complete K8s multi-node training guide - Minimal 2-node test setup for validation - Working example with distributed operations testing - Test suite for validation Usage: Replace basic torchrun with enhanced configuration: torchrun --nnodes=4 --nproc_per_node=8 --node_rank=\ --rdzv_backend=c10d --rdzv_endpoint=\:\ --rdzv_id=\ --rdzv_conf='timeout=1800,read_timeout=120' scripts/diffusion/train.py Backward Compatibility: - 100% backward compatible - no breaking changes - Enhanced error messages guide users to solutions - New features opt-in via environment variables
