[Solved] mmdetection benchmark.py Error: RuntimeError: Distributed package doesn‘t have NCCL built in

Cause:
use mmdetection’s tools/benchmark An error occurs when py calculates FPS
the error contents are as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools/analysis_tools/benchmark.py", line 191, in <module>
    main()
  File "tools/analysis_tools/benchmark.py", line 183, in main

    raise RuntimeError("Distributed package doesn't have NCCL "
RuntimeError: Distributed package doesn't have NCCL built in

Cause analysis:
Windows does not support nccl backend

Solution:
1. Locate the following code location

File "D:\Anaconda\envs\eagermot\lib\site-packages\mmcv\runner\dist_utils.py", line 32, in _init_dist_pytorch

2. Add code before 1 (line 32)

backend='gloo'
