Getting ProcessExitedException. How to spawn multiple processes on databricks notebook using torch.multiprocessing?

Question

I am trying out distributed training in pytorch using "DistributedDataParallel" strategy on databrick notebooks (or any notebooks environment). But I am stuck with multi-processing on a databricks notebook environment.

Problem: I want to spwan multiple processes on databricks notebook using torch.multiprocessing. I have extracted out the problem from main code for easier understanding of the problem.

import torch.distributed as dist
import torch.multiprocessing as mp

def train():
  print("hello")

if __name__ == '__main__':
  processes = 4
  mp.spawn(train, args=(), nprocs=processes)
  print("completed")

Exception:

ProcessExitedException: process 1 terminated with exit code 1
