📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change introduces a runtime check in deepmd/pt/utils/env.py to determine the multiprocessing start method. If the method is not "fork", a warning is logged and the number of worker processes (NUM_WORKERS) is set to 0, ensuring compatibility with PyTorch DataLoader on platforms like macOS where "fork" is unavailable.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
deepmd/pt/utils/env.py Added imports for logging and multiprocessing; checks multiprocessing start method and sets NUM_WORKERS to 0 with a warning if the method is not "fork".

27-34: LGTM! Solid fix for DataLoader compatibility on non-fork platforms.

The logic correctly identifies non-fork multiprocessing start methods and sets NUM_WORKERS to 0 for PyTorch DataLoader compatibility. This addresses the core issue on platforms like macOS where "fork" is unavailable.

Consider logging the warning only when NUM_WORKERS was originally > 0 to avoid unnecessary warnings:

 if multiprocessing.get_start_method() != "fork":
-    # spawn or forkserver does not support NUM_WORKERS > 0 for DataLoader
-    log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
-    log.warning(
-        "NUM_WORKERS > 0 is not supported with spawn or forkserver start method. "
-        "Setting NUM_WORKERS to 0."
-    )
-    NUM_WORKERS = 0
+    # spawn or forkserver does not support NUM_WORKERS > 0 for DataLoader
+    if NUM_WORKERS > 0:
+        log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+        log.warning(
+            "NUM_WORKERS > 0 is not supported with spawn or forkserver start method. "
+            "Setting NUM_WORKERS to 0."
+        )
+        NUM_WORKERS = 0

2-3: LGTM! Necessary imports for multiprocessing compatibility.

The logging and multiprocessing imports are correctly placed and necessary for the new functionality to check start methods and log warnings.
