AssertionError: Default process group is not initialized

Describe the bug python tools/train.py configs/danet/danet_r50-d8_512x1024_40k_cityscapes.py. I get an error when using custom data for model training, AssertionError: Default process group is not initialized. GPU now has two target detection networks running, is this the reason? mmdetection can train multiple networks simultaneously.

Hi @HaoweiGis If you would like to debug with non-distributed training, you need to change SyncBNto BN since distributed training is required by PyTorch SyncBN.

facing same issue, which file under configs folder?

Hi @PriyankaJain-1998 At each config/_base_/models/xxx.py. And you can also run tools/dist_train.sh by setting GPUS=1, like ./tools/dist_train.sh config.py 1
