    """Float16 optimizer for fp16 and bf16 data types.

    Arguments:
        optimizer: base optimizer such as Adam or SGD
        clip_grad: clip gradeints with this global L2 norm. Note
            that clipping is ignored if clip_grad == 0
        log_num_zeros_in_grad: return number of zeros in the gradients.
        params_have_main_grad: flag indicating if parameters have
            a `main_grad` field. If this is set, we are assuming
            that the model parameters are store in the `main_grad`
            field instead of the typical `grad` field. This happens
            for the DDP cases where there is a continuous buffer
            holding the gradients. For example for bfloat16, we want
            to do gradient accumulation and all-reduces in float32
            and as a result we store those gradients in the main_grad.
            Note that main grad is not necessarily in float32.
        bf16: if true, the model is running in bfloat16.
        grad_scaler: used for scaling gradients. Note that this can be
            None. This case happens when `bf16 = True` and we don't
            use any loss scale. Note that for `bf16 = True`, we can have
            a constnat gradient scaler. Also for `bf16 = False`, we
            always require a grad scaler.
