Problems migrating to multi-gpu setting

I am new to NCCL and multi-gpu training. My code ran perfectly on my Laptop’s GPU (single RTX 3060) and it runs out of memory using four GPUs. I think it may be due to a misconfiguration of my GPUs or misuse of DDP strategy in Lightning. I hope someone can help me debug the log messages NCCL is leaving. Since they are very long, I’ll paste here just the logs that come from the main rank of the process. I have experienced different errors that I think are related to memory. These are the ones I can track back:

OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

RuntimeError: cuDNN error: CUDNN_STATUS_ALLOC_FAILED

torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory.

RuntimeError: DataLoader worker (pid 4748) is killed by signal: Bus error. It is possible that dataloader's workers are out of shared memory. Please try to raise your shared memory limit.

The only time it gave a different error is when I manually set NCCL_IB_DISABLE=0. It gave me:

File "/mnt/azureml/cr/j/e01ca930a056451cad891d256ce58f06/exe/wd/models/ssl/monitor_metrics.py", line 44, in rankme
    S = torch.linalg.svdvals(Z)  # pylint: disable=invalid-name, not-callable
RuntimeError: cusolver error: CUSOLVER_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR, when calling `cusolverDnCreate(handle)`. If you keep seeing this error, you may use `torch.backends.cuda.preferred_linalg_library()` to try linear algebra operators with other supported backends.

Here are the log messages:

As some additional info:

I am running a job a cluster with four Teslta T4 GPUs. Specifically, this cluster Standard_NC64as_T4_v3.

I have been using Azure Containers for Pytorch and installing additional dependencies as they recommend. Below I pasted the Dockerfiles I have been using to build my environments. I commented the second base image to avoid posting two different Dockerfiles with the same content.

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/azureml/curated/acpt-pytorch-2.0-cuda11.7
# FROM mcr.microsoft.com/azureml/curated/acpt-pytorch-2.1-cuda12.1

RUN pip install timm
RUN pip install scikit-learn
RUN pip install mlflow    

I checked and the env using cuda 12.1 is using NCCL version 12.18.3 and the one using cuda 11.7 is using 12.17.1.

Also, I am specifying a distribution when launching the job using the command function. I understand that this will tell the system to use the four GPUs. Nonetheless, I experienced the same issue whenever I didn’t specify the distribution in the command.

# Create or update the component
    print("Creating job...")
    print(job_command)
    command_job = command(
        experiment_name="testing-ssl-byol",
        description=description,
        code=str(code_dir),
        environment=enviornment,
        inputs=inputs,
        outputs=outputs,
        command=job_command,
        compute="Testing-GPU-Cluster",
        distribution=MpiDistribution(process_count_per_instance=4),
        environment_variables={"NCCL_DEBUG": "DEBUG", "NCCL_IB_DISABLE": "0"},
        tags={"project": "ssl-research", "job-purpose": "testing"}
    )
    job = ml_client.jobs.create_or_update(command_job)
    print(f"Job created with ID: {job.id}")
