Dask multi-stage resource setup causes Failed to Serialize Error

Time:06-12

Using the exact code from Dask's documentation at https://jobqueue.dask.org/en/latest/examples.html

In case the page changes, this is the code:

from dask_jobqueue import SLURMCluster
from distributed import Client
from dask import delayed

cluster = SLURMCluster(memory='8g',
                       processes=1,
                       cores=2,
                       extra=['--resources ssdGB=200,GPU=2'])

cluster.scale(2)
client = Client(cluster)

def step_1_w_single_GPU(data):
    return "Step 1 done for: %s" % data


def step_2_w_local_IO(data):
    return "Step 2 done for: %s" % data


stage_1 = [delayed(step_1_w_single_GPU)(i) for i in range(10)]
stage_2 = [delayed(step_2_w_local_IO)(s2) for s2 in stage_1]

result_stage_2 = client.compute(stage_2,
                                resources={tuple(stage_1): {'GPU': 1},
                                           tuple(stage_2): {'ssdGB': 100}})

This results in an error of such:

TypeError: can not serialize 'Delayed' object

Python verion: 3.8.10 dask: 2022.2.0 dask-jobqueue: 0.7.3 The problem is self-evident. Setup is just like in the documentation. There is nothing more I can explain, but stackoverflow is saying my details-to-code is too low, so I need to write more stuff to allow this question to be posted.

CodePudding user response:

As noted by @Michael Delgado in the comments, this appears to be a problem with the documentation (raised here). Resources are a dictionary with each key being name of a resource and value representing the amount used by a task.

In an answer to a related question, Matt Rocklin, the initial commit author, mentions that this feature (specifying task-level resources) is frequently requested, but not available as of now: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63310721/10693596

One possibility is to use annotation for specific components of the graph, see this answer.
