What is the issue
I have found that if you are using TransformerEngine v1.10 or later,
CUDA error: initialization error
will occur in the following location in saver_mcore.py.Megatron-LM/tools/checkpoint/saver_mcore.py
Line 299 in 076972e
If the version of TransformerEngine is 1.10 or later,
torch.cuda.Stream()
is called in the following places. This causes an initialization error.Megatron-LM/megatron/core/extensions/transformer_engine.py
Lines 1218 to 1221 in 076972e
