Multiple processes on CPUs

[lamthuy]

I develop accelerate on my laptop and run training with multiple GPUs on a cluster. The submission on the cluster needs to be in a queue and it is not good for debugging purpose. While running on my laptop I can only run with 1 process. Is there a way to run on 2 processes on CPUs for debugging purpose? Even When I run the following command on my laptop it is still run only 1 process:

accelerate launch --num_processes 2 --cpu train.py
