Wandb agent creates new IDs instead of using the ID provided

in wandb, why is it creating a new sweep id grj782il and not using the ID qmi88fp4 ?

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=4 wandb agent organisation_name/sweep_project/qmi88fp4

Hi @liutiming !

Thank you for writing in!

Could you please talk a bit about your experiment setup? Are you interested in resuming your previous sweep? Are you changing your sweep config in between ending your old one and starting a new one?

Warmly,
Artsiom

Thank you @artsiom! Sorry I did not get email notification on this.

The command is as CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=4 wandb agent organisation_name/sweep_project/qmi88fp4. What I am hoping to achieve with this command is to use another GPU to contribute to sweep qmi88fp4, but the output shows that instead of creating runs under qmi88fp4, the command created a new sweep with ID grj782il

Gotcha, so you are interested in being able to use multiple GPUs to on one single run instead of multiple different runs?

Are you launching a sweep, and then trying to connect a gpu to it, or are you trying to launch a sweep with 2 gpus from the beginning?

Thanks @artsiom If this is the command, then I think it is connecting a GPU to a newly lauched sweep run, but it should uses the existing sweep config and ID?

Thank you for your swift response!

The command should look something like this:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=4 wandb agent sweep_ID

Could you send me a link to the project and a sweep you are trying to launch using distributed resources?
