Multi-node-training on slurm with PyTorch

What's this?

• A simple note for how to start multi-node-training on slurm scheduler with PyTorch.
• Useful especially when scheduler is too busy that you cannot get multiple GPUs allocated, or you need more than 4 GPUs for a single job.
• Requirement: Have to use PyTorch DistributedDataParallel(DDP) for this purpose.
• Warning: might need to re-factor your own code.
• Warning: might be secretly condemned by your colleagues because using too many GPUs.
