Hi guys, currently I am trying to set up a distributed training cluster using 2 Linux GPU machines.
My runtime is the latest Tensorflow Jupyter GPU Docker image (TF 2.7.0) on both machines, the code for the trainig is the Tensorflow Object_Detection “basic code” from models/research/object_detection/model_main_tf2.py of the GitHub - tensorflow/models: Models and examples built with TensorFlow repository.
(Training example here: Training Custom Object Detector — TensorFlow 2 Object Detection API tutorial documentation).
The training is working well on each machine for it’s own, but if I’am increase the “num_workers” (causes to use MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy) and the “batch_size” to two (The TF_CONFIG env is set at this point) I can see that the two workers start connecting, but then one worker fail with this exception.

Any ideas?
