Python 3.8 changes the default way multiprocessing creates new processes on macOS from forking to spawing. Spawning requires all objects to be picklable. Nested functions and lambdas are not picklable, so this commit fixes the one instance of nested functions in the codebase that was causing issues.
Although I've fixed the error from objects not being picklable, I'm getting an error in
tests/python/unittest/test_autotvm_measure.py
where registered tasks aren't found. Looking inpython/tvm/autotvm/measure/local_executor.py
, the globalTASK_TABLE
is empty in some child processes. The error only occurs with python 3.8 and pytest. Runningtests/python/unittest/test_autotvm_measure.py
directly (without pytest) gives no errors. I'd assume this issue is related to multiprocessing.
