    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)`.
682
    get_rng_state_tracker : Callable, default = `None`
683
                 used to get the random number generator state tracker for initializing weights.
684
685
    rng_tracker_name : str, default = `None`
                 the param passed to get_rng_state_tracker to get the specific rng tracker.

690
691
692
693
                      Configuration for splitting the weight and bias tensors along dim 0 into
                      multiple PyTorch parameters. If a list or tuple of strings is provided,
                      they are used to make the names of equally-sized parameters. If a dict
                      (preferably an OrderedDict) is provided, the keys are used as names and
                      values as split sizes along dim 0. The resulting parameters will have
                      names that end in `_weight` or `_bias`, so trailing underscores are
                      stripped from any provided names.
694
    device : Union[torch.device, str], default = "cuda"
695
          The device on which the parameters of the model will be allocated. It is the user's
696
697
          responsibility to ensure all parameters are moved to the GPU before running the
          forward pass.

    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.

                   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.

    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.
729
    params_dtype : torch.dtype, default = `torch.get_default_dtype()`
730
731
732
                  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.
