This pull request fixes issue #1721, where single GPU training/inference may error if the worker uses
torch.dist. In summary, it makes sure the default process group is always initialized as long asworld_size > 0, otherwise it raises aValueErrorto indicate illegal argument(s). The existing code should not be affected, as stated in issue #1721.Rationale: Always initializing the process group is preferred, because when
launchis called, the user most likely requests distributed semantics. This fix makes the user code consistent by allowing the users to maketorch.distcalls even if there is only one GPU.
