class DistributedGroupedDataParallel(nn.Module):
    r'''
    A customized DDP module to support different all-reduce regions in the
    model.  The all-reduce region is defined as an attribution `dp_comm` in the
    weight object.
    The grads of the weights are identified to be reduced in different groups
    according to the weigths' `dp_comm` attribute.
    If it is set to `dp`, it will only be reduced across the data-parallel
    groups, which means that in the model parallel group, they are not
    synchronized.
    If it is set to `world`, the gradients is synchronized across all workers,
    regardless their model or data parallel group. This is extremely useful for
    shared layers like the gate.
