      Single-process control via PipeRPCWrapper (#156) · 5d4f50fb
      Tom Birch authored
      Adds support for:
      * Reused layers (e.g. for weight sharing)
      * Lazily-constructed layers
      * Single-process control via PipeRPCWrapper
      * PipelineStyle.AsyncScheudle, which lays the foundation for asynchronous pipeline work by introducing an event loop for each rank/worker to process either activations or gradients as they arrive
      
      Also added examples for multi-process and PipeRPCWrapper

      Multi-process pipe (#90) · 63f7796a
      Tom Birch authored
      Adds support for distributing pipeline stages across multiple processes (and therefore multiple machines)
      * Adds a style argument to the Pipe constructor, defaulting to PipelineStyle.SingleProcess, but also supporting PipelineStyle.MultiProcess
      * Added support for lazy construction of modules (see lazy_construction for an example)
      * Added two implementations of inter-process communication: one based on rpc with globally visible queues, one based on send/recv
      * Copied all the relevant tests from tests/pipe to tests/pipe_process and modified them to exercise PipelineStyle.MultiProcess
