Following #54, the mxnet-gluon example will crash (
server
crashes in RDMA layer) whenbyteps
uses RDMA (DMLC_ENABLE_RDMA=1
).The example initializes
byteps
(with RDMA), and then creates gluon data loader (code).As explained by @ymjiang in #54, the default (multi-process) gluon data loader forks from the RDMA process which may lead to unexpected errors (reason). Therefore, one very simple solution is to create gluon data loader before
bps.init()
, which is included in this PR.Thank you.
