Found an issue here:
param.ds_tensor
in this place appears to be is a flattened buffer. Sostate_dicts
ends up being populated with 1D vectors.There was a problem hiding this comment.

but we can't shape it back to the original since we only have a part of the tensor, so doing something like
narrow(0, 0, param.ds_numel).view(param.ds_shape)
from_allgather_param()
won't work and the shape has no meaning here anyway.So this line of logic is useful when it's used to load the
param.ds_tensor
directly by each gpu, as coded in the rest of this PR.I just tried to use it to get the partitioned fp16 weights, but now I understand this is not possible using this approach.
Bottom line - there is no problem here, just needed to understand that this is not a real
state_dict
that is being saved but something likeflattened_params_state_dict
.All is good!
