[BUG] File not found in autotuner cache in multi-node setting on SLURM

[jubueche]

Describe the bug
I am training an LLM using DeepSpeed and 12 nodes a 8 V100s per node. My training is generally working well (thanks DeepSpeed), but when I run multiple training runs in parallel, I run into trouble.
I am getting these kinds of errors

I thought that this is because maybe the directories are shared between the multiple runs, which can create race conditions.
My TMPDIR, TRITON_CACHE_DIR, and TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR are set as follows

export TMPDIR=$HOME/scratch/.cache
export TRITON_CACHE_DIR=$HOME/scratch/.cache
export TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR=$HOME/scratch/.cache/torch-extensions

To fix this, I tried to allocate one cache folder per run like so

export TMPDIR=$HOME/scratch/.cache
export TRITON_CACHE_DIR=$HOME/scratch/$SLURM_JOBID/.cache
export TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR=$HOME/scratch/$SLURM_JOBID/.cache/torch-extensions

mkdir -p $TRITON_CACHE_DIR
mkdir -p $TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR

but that also didn't work. Now I am getting this error
