                and type must be `torch.bfloat16`; for the second type, the first element of the tuple must be shaped as
                `[num_tokens, hidden]` with type `torch.float8_e4m3fn`, the second must be `[num_tokens, hidden // 128]`
                 (requiring divisible) with type `torch.float`.
            handle: an optional communication handle, if set, the CPU will reuse the layout information to save some time.
            num_tokens_per_rank: `[num_ranks]` with `torch.int`, the number of tokens to be sent to each rank.
            num_tokens_per_rdma_rank: `[num_rdma_ranks]` with `torch.int`, the number of tokens to be sent to each RDMA
                rank (with the same GPU index), return `None` for intranode settings.
            is_token_in_rank: `[num_tokens, num_ranks]` with `torch.bool`, whether a token be sent to a rank.

            topk_idx: `[num_tokens, num_topk]` with `torch.int64`, the expert indices selected by each token,
                `-1` means no selections.
            topk_weights: `[num_tokens, num_topk]` with `torch.float`, the expert weights of each token to dispatch.
            expert_alignment: align the number of tokens received by each local expert to this variable.
            num_worst_tokens: the worst number of tokens to receive, if specified, there will be no CPU sync, and it
                will be CUDA-graph compatible. Please also notice that this flag is for intranode only.
            config: the performance tuning config.
            previous_event: the event to wait before actually executing the kernel.

            num_recv_tokens_per_expert_as_cuda: control return num_recv_tokens_per_expert as cuda tensor or python list.
        Returns:
            recv_x: received tokens, the same type and tuple as the input `x`, but the number of tokens equals to the
                received token count.

                each local expert, aligned to the input `expert_alignment`. If `num_worst_tokens` is specified, the list
                will be empty.

            async_finish: the current stream will not wait for the communication kernels to be finished if set.

                but **without actually receiving the data**. You must call the received hook to make sure the data's arrival.
                If you do not set this flag, the kernel will ensure the data's arrival.
