* POC, testing against the DDP comm hook when available
* docs, adding a reference to DDP's compress hook
* updating changelog, prep for v0.1.8 release

* [bug]: not all CUDA memory is freed when model is deleted

* fixed memory leak

- without this, peak memory will be high when more than one model
  is trained (i.e. first model leave staff around pushing up the
  peak memory when the second model runs)

* addressed comments

* fix

* changelog

Recent work by [Microsoft](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.02054) and [Google](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.13336

) has shown that data parallel training can be made significantly more efficient by sharding the model parameters and optimizer state across data parallel workers. These ideas are encapsulated in the new **`FullyShardedDataParallel` (FSDP)** wrapper, which is a drop-in replacement for PyTorch's `DistributedDataParallel` (DDP) wrapper.

Compared to PyTorch DDP:
* FSDP shards parameters (FP16 + FP32) and optimizer state across data parallel GPUs
* FSDP with `reshard_after_forward=False` has the same communication cost as PyTorch DDP and is similar to ZeRO-2
* FSDP with `reshard_after_forward=True` increases total communication by 50% and is similar to ZeRO-3:
    * all-gather parameters at start of forward pass and start of backward pass
    * reduce-scatter grads at end of backward pass
