mindspore.mint.distributed.get_group_rank(group, global_rank)[source]

Get the rank ID in the specified user communication group corresponding to the rank ID in the world communication group.

Note

This method should be used after mindspore.mint.distributed.init_process_group().

Parameters

  • group (str) – The communication group to work on. Normally, the group should be created by mindspore.mint.distributed.new_group(). If None, which means "hccl_world_group" in Ascend.

  • global_rank (int) – A rank ID in the world communication group.

Returns

int, the rank ID in the user communication group.

Raises

  • TypeError – If global_rank is not an integer or the group is not a string.

  • RuntimeError – If device target is invalid, or backend is invalid, or distributed initialization fails.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend

Examples

Note

Before running the following examples, you need to configure the communication environment variables.

For Ascend devices, it is recommended to use the msrun startup method without any third-party or configuration file dependencies. Please see the msrun start up for more details.

This example should be run with 8 devices.

>>> import mindspore as ms
>>> from mindspore.mint.distributed import init_process_group, new_group, get_group_rank, get_rank
>>> ms.set_device(device_target="Ascend")
>>> # Launch 8 processes.
>>> init_process_group()
>>> rank_ids = [0,4]
>>> if get_rank() in rank_ids:
...     group = new_group(rank_ids)
...     group_rank_id = get_group_rank(group, 4)
...     print("group_rank_id is: ", group_rank_id)
#rank 0 and 4:
group_rank_id is: 1
