class LayerNormLinear(TransformerEngineBaseModule):
    r"""
    Applies layer normalization followed by linear transformation to the incoming data.

    Parameters
    ----------
    in_features : int
                 size of each input sample.
    out_features : int
                  size of each output sample.
    eps : float, default = 1e-5
         a value added to the denominator of layer normalization for numerical stability.
    bias : bool, default = `True`
          if set to `False`, the layer will not learn an additive bias.
    init_method : Callable, default = `None`
                 used for initializing weights in the following way: `init_method(weight)`.
                 When set to `None`, defaults to `torch.nn.init.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.023)`.
    return_layernorm_output : bool, default = `False`
                             if set to `True`, output of layernorm is returned from the forward
                             together with the output of the linear transformation.
                             Example use case: residual connection for transformer module is
                             taken post layernorm.
    parameters_split : Tuple[str, ...], default = None
                      if a tuple of strings is provided, the weight and bias parameters of the
                      module are exposed as `N` separate `torch.nn.parameter.Parameter`s each,
                      split along the first dimension, where `N` is the length of the argument
                      and the strings contained are the names of the split parameters.
    zero_centered_gamma : bool, default = 'False'
                         if set to 'True', gamma parameter in LayerNorm is initialized to 0 and
                         the LayerNorm formula changes to

                         .. math::
                            y = \frac{x - \mathrm{E}[x]}{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[x] + \varepsilon}} *
                            (1 + \gamma) + \beta

    Parallelism parameters
    ----------------------
    sequence_parallel : bool, default = `False`
                       if set to `True`, uses sequence parallelism.
    tp_group : ProcessGroup, default = `None`
              tensor parallel process group.
    tp_size : int, default = 1
             used as TP (tensor parallel) world size when TP groups are not formed during
             initialization. In this case, users must call the
             `set_tensor_parallel_group(tp_group)` method on the initialized module before the
             forward pass to supply the tensor parallel group needed for tensor and sequence
             parallel collectives.
    parallel_mode : {None, 'Column', 'Row'}, default = `None`
                   used to decide whether this Linear layer is Column Parallel Linear or Row
                   Parallel Linear as described `here <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf>`_.
                   When set to `None`, no communication is performed.
    skip_weight_param_allocation: bool, default = `False`
                                 if set to `True`, weight parameter is not allocated and must be
                                 passed as a keyword argument `weight` during the forward pass.

    Optimization parameters
    -----------------------
    fuse_wgrad_accumulation : bool, default = 'False'
                             if set to `True`, enables fusing of creation and accumulation of
                             the weight gradient.
    return_bias : bool, default = `False`
                 when set to `True`, this module will not apply the additive bias itself, but
                 instead return the bias value during the forward pass together with the
                 output of the linear transformation :math:`y = xA^T`. This is useful when
                 the bias addition can be fused to subsequent operations.
    params_dtype : torch.dtype, default = `torch.float32`
                  it controls the type used to allocate the initial parameters. Useful when
                  the model is trained with lower precision and the original FP32 parameters
                  would not fit in GPU memory.

class Linear(TransformerEngineBaseModule):
    """
    Applies a linear transformation to the incoming data :math:`y = xA^T + b`

    On NVIDIA GPUs it is a drop-in replacement for `torch.nn.Linear`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    in_features : int
                 size of each input sample.
    out_features : int
                  size of each output sample.
    bias : bool, default = `True`
          if set to `False`, the layer will not learn an additive bias.
    init_method : Callable, default = `None`
                 used for initializing weights in the following way: `init_method(weight)`.
                 When set to `None`, defaults to `torch.nn.init.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.023)`.
    parameters_split : Tuple[str, ...], default = None
                      if a tuple of strings is provided, the weight and bias parameters of the
                      module are exposed as `N` separate `torch.nn.parameter.Parameter`s each,
                      split along the first dimension, where `N` is the length of the argument
                      and the strings contained are the names of the split parameters.

    Parallelism parameters
    ----------------------
    sequence_parallel : bool, default = `False`
                       if set to `True`, uses sequence parallelism.
    tp_group : ProcessGroup, default = `None`
              tensor parallel process group.
    tp_size : int, default = 1
             used as TP (tensor parallel) world size when TP groups are not formed during
             initialization. In this case, users must call the
             `set_tensor_parallel_group(tp_group)` method on the initialized module before the
             forward pass to supply the tensor parallel group needed for tensor and sequence
             parallel collectives.
    parallel_mode : {None, 'Column', 'Row'}, default = `None`
                   used to decide whether this Linear layer is Column Parallel Linear or Row
                   Parallel Linear as described `here <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf>`_.
                   When set to `None`, no communication is performed.
    skip_weight_param_allocation: bool, default = `False`
                                 if set to `True`, weight parameter is not allocated and must be
                                 passed as a keyword argument `weight` during the forward pass.

    Optimization parameters
    -----------------------
    fuse_wgrad_accumulation : bool, default = 'False'
                             if set to `True`, enables fusing of creation and accumulation of
                             the weight gradient. When enabled, it is assumed that the weights
                             have an additional `main_grad` attribute (used instead of the
                             regular `grad`) which is a pre-allocated buffer of the correct
                             size to accumulate gradients in.
    return_bias : bool, default = `False`
                 when set to `True`, this module will not apply the additive bias itself, but
                 instead return the bias value during the forward pass together with the
                 output of the linear transformation :math:`y = xA^T`. This is useful when
                 the bias addition can be fused to subsequent operations.
    params_dtype : torch.dtype, default = `torch.float32`
                  it controls the type used to allocate the initial parameters. Useful when
                  the model is trained with lower precision and the original FP32 parameters
                  would not fit in GPU memory.

class LayerNormMLP(TransformerEngineBaseModule):
    r"""
    Applies layer normalization on the input followed by the MLP module, consisting of
    2 successive linear transformations, separated by the GeLU activation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    hidden_size : int
                 size of each input sample.
    ffn_hidden_size : int
                     intermediate size to which input samples are projected.
    eps : float, default = 1e-5
         a value added to the denominator of layer normalization for numerical stability.
    bias : bool, default = `True`
          if set to `False`, the FC2 layer will not learn an additive bias.
    init_method : Callable, default = `None`
                 used for initializing FC1 weights in the following way: `init_method(weight)`.
                 When set to `None`, defaults to `torch.nn.init.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.023)`.
    output_layer_init_method : Callable, default = `None`
                              used for initializing FC2 weights in the following way:
                              `output_layer_init_method(weight)`. When set to `None`, defaults to
                              `torch.nn.init.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.023)`.
    return_layernorm_output : bool, default = `False`
                             if set to `True`, output of layernorm is returned from the forward
                             together with the output of the linear transformation.
                             Example use case: residual connection for transformer module
                             is taken post layernorm.
    zero_centered_gamma : bool, default = 'False'
                         if set to 'True', gamma parameter in LayerNorm is initialized to 0 and
                         the LayerNorm formula changes to

                         .. math::
                            y = \frac{x - \mathrm{E}[x]}{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[x] + \varepsilon}} *
                            (1 + \gamma) + \beta

    Parallelism parameters
    ----------------------
    set_parallel_mode : bool, default = `False`
                      if set to `True`, FC1 is used as Column Parallel and FC2 is used as Row
                      Parallel as described `here <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf>`_.
    sequence_parallel : bool, default = `False`
                       if set to `True`, uses sequence parallelism.
    tp_group : ProcessGroup, default = `None`
              tensor parallel process group.
    tp_size : int, default = 1
             used as TP (tensor parallel) world size when TP groups are not formed during
             initialization. In this case, users must call the
             `set_tensor_parallel_group(tp_group)` method on the initialized module before the
             forward pass to supply the tensor parallel group needed for tensor and sequence
             parallel collectives.

    Optimization parameters
    -----------------------
    fuse_wgrad_accumulation : bool, default = 'False'
                             if set to `True`, enables fusing of creation and accumulation of
                             the weight gradient.
    return_bias : bool, default = `False`
                 when set to `True`, this module will not apply the additive bias itself, but
                 instead return the bias value during the forward pass together with the
                 output of the linear transformation :math:`y = xA^T`. This is useful when
                 the bias addition can be fused to subsequent operations.
    params_dtype : torch.dtype, default = `torch.float32`
                  it controls the type used to allocate the initial parameters. Useful when
                  the model is trained with lower precision and the original FP32 parameters
                  would not fit in GPU memory.
    seq_length: int
               sequence length of input samples. Needed for JIT Warmup, a technique where jit fused
               functions are warmed up before training to ensure same kernels are used for forward
               propogation and activation recompute phase.
    micro_batch_size: int
                     batch size per training step. Needed for JIT Warmup, a technique where jit
                     fused functions are warmed up before training to ensure same kernels are
                     used for forward propogation and activation recompute phase.

class LayerNorm(torch.nn.Module):
    r"""
    Applies Layer Normalization over a mini-batch of inputs as described in
    the paper `Layer Normalization <https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06450>`__

    .. math::
        y = \frac{x - \mathrm{E}[x]}{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[x] + \varepsilon}} * \gamma + \beta

    :math:`\gamma` and :math:`\beta` are learnable affine transform parameters of
    size :attr:`hidden_size`

    Parameters
    ----------
    hidden_size : int
                size of each input sample.
    eps : float, default = 1e-5
        a value added to the denominator of layer normalization for numerical stability.
    sequence_parallel : bool, default = `False`
                        if set to `True`, uses sequence parallelism.
    params_dtype : torch.dtype, default = `torch.float32`
                    it controls the type used to allocate the initial parameters. Useful when
                    the model is trained with lower precision and the original FP32 parameters
                    would not fit in GPU memory.
    zero_centered_gamma : bool, default = 'False'
                         if set to 'True', gamma parameter in LayerNorm is initialized to 0 and
                         the LayerNorm formula changes to
