infrastructure as code sdk languages frameworks and tools home documentation compute compute engine guides send feedback troubleshoot gpu vms stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences this guide describes how to diagnose and resolve common issues with compute engine vms that have attached gpus including hardware errors and performance bottlenecks troubleshoot gpu vms by using nvidia dcgm nvidia data center gpu manager dcgm is a suite of tools for managing and monitoring nvidia data center gpus in cluster environments if you want to use dcgm to troubleshoot issues in your gpu environment then complete the following ensure that you are using the latest recommended nvidia driver for the gpu model that is attached to your vm to review driver versions see recommended nvidia driver versions ensure that you installed the latest version of dcgm to install the latest version see dcgm installation diagnose issues when you run a dcgmi diagnostic command the issues reported by the diagnostic tool include next steps for taking action on the issue the following example shows the actionable output from the dcgmi diag r memory j command category hardware tests name gpu memory results gpu_id 0 info gpu 0 allocated 23376170169 bytes 98 3 status fail warnings warning pending page retirements together with a dbe were detected on gpu 0 drain the gpu and reset it or reboot the node to resolve this issue error_id 83 error_category 10 error_severity 6 from the preceding output snippet you can see that gpu 0 has pending page retirements that are caused by a non recoverable error the output provided the unique error_id and advice on debugging the issue for this example output it is recommended that you drain the gpu and reboot the vm in most cases following the instructions in this section of the output can help to resolve the issue pro tip take note of the error severity in the example output a value of error_severity 6 corresponds to a dcgm_error_reset which means that a reset resolves issues with this severity value for a full list of error_severity values review the dcgmerrorseverity_enum section on the dcgm_errors github file troubleshoot gpu performance issues for a3 vms the a3 machine series is available with nvidia h200 or h100 gpus attached this series includes a3 ultra h200 a3 mega h100 a3 high h100 and a3 edge h100 machine types identify a faulty node large scale training or benchmark jobs on a multi node gpu cluster can stop responding or perform poorly this often occurs because one or more nodes underperform and slow down the entire operation this section describes how to identify a faulty node or host machine by either running an nccl benchmark test or analyzing nccl logs run nccl benchmark test to identify the group of nodes causing the failure systematically test subsets of your cluster by using nccl benchmarks like all_reduce_perf to identify your nodesets group your nodes into logical sets for example partitions in slurm to create hostfiles create a separate hostfile for each nodeset listing hostnames and the number of gpus per node the number of slots you specify depends on the gpu count of your a3 vm type for example a3 highgpu 8g vms have 8 gpus so you must specify slots 8 to run benchmarks execute the all_reduce_perf benchmark against each nodeset individually mpirun x ld_library_path hostfile hostfile_name n total_processes build all_reduce_perf b 1g e 8g f 2 g num_gpus_per_node replace the following hostfile_name the name of the hostfile that contains the list of nodes and the number of gpus per node for the nodeset total_processes the total number of mpi processes to launch across all hosts in the nodeset num_gpus_per_node the number of gpus per node for all a3 machine types this value is 8 to analyze results if a job hangs or shows significantly lower bus bandwidth busbw on a particular nodeset that set is likely faulty to sub divide if a nodeset is faulty divide its hostfile in half and re test to narrow down the binary search until you pinpoint the individual misbehaving node analyze nccl logs if the benchmark method doesn t pinpoint a node analyze detailed nccl logs to enable debug logging set the following environment variables in the shell session where you plan to run your workload export nccl_debug info export nccl_debug_subsys init net coll export nccl_debug_file log_directory nccl_log h p replace log_directory with the directory where you want to store your logs setting nccl_debug_file with h and p creates unique non interleaved log files for each process if you are running a multi node workload using mpirun you must propagate these variables to all nodes by using the x flag for example mpirun x nccl_debug x nccl_debug_subsys x nccl_debug_file to find the first error use the following command to find the earliest timeout or failure events across all log files grep nccl warn net fastrak log_directory sed s net fastrak 1 g sort head n 20 replace log_directory with the directory where your logs are stored to count collective operations a straggler node completes fewer collective operations count opcount entries for suspect ranks ...
