- rename oss_ddp to ShardedDataParallel
- some refactoring
- ShardedDataParallel owns the sharded optimizer, exposed if need be
- some small perf bumps

Changes the structure of the returned state dict with respect to the param_groups to make it closer to what a vanilla optimizer would return (un-shard them). Shard again when loading

* Aligning the optimizer state dict with what PyTorch expects

* Adding a check on the dict keys, ensure that `state` and `param_groups` are there

* after installing the specific isort, black and all, one liner to please the linter..

* Adding some measurement of the memory consumption while training + checkpointing

* mandatory lintfix commit

* brainfart, reset the memory use counter at the beginning of the training in case two of them are run in a row

* move reset stats call, hotfix

* move the optimizer to rmsprop, more stateful and still used in CV

* trying to figure out a sigsev in circleci

* Aligning the optimizer state dict with what PyTorch expects

* Adding a check on the dict keys, ensure that `state` and `param_groups` are there

* after installing the specific isort, black and all, one liner to please the linter..

* initial commit, dummy training loop, pure pytorch but not DDP

* probably slightly broken, but rough DDP benchmark run

* adding the torchvision requirement for testing

* brainfart

* reduce the loss, do something slightly distributed

* Some cleanup, distributing the training on two GPUs

* some cleanup + adding a vanilla run, still not good to go

* less silly defaults, gtg for a start I think

* smaller batch to fit the smaller gpus used in the circleci rigs

* Adding some options for the benchmark, and regression testing

* [test] set torch seed for Adam tests (#49)

Set the torch seed for tests. xfail mixed precision and memory-efficient mixed-precision state_dict tests due to their states being cast to FP16 and back to FP32 during load_state_dict.

* linting, I really need to automate this isort insanity
