# A loader is a python file with at least two functions
# - add_arguments - takes in a parser and adds any arguments needed
# - load_checkpoint - takes in the queue and parsed arguments

# A saver is similar but has save_checkpoint instead of
# load_checkpoint

# The loader and saver process are each given a queue, the loader
# should load the checkpoint and send the weights in messages in the
# following order, the saver should receive them in this order and
# save the checkpoints. A message consists of a python dictionary with
# a "name" for error checking and an entry for each tensor as
# indicated below. Note that the weight sent over the queue are the
# full model weights, nothing split.

# If the loader ever sends "exit" to the queue, that means something
# went wrong and it is exiting.

# - Metadata Namespace with the following attributes:
#     model_type - GPT, BERT, T5, etc.  (Part of protocol to allow this to be deduced later instead of given on command line)
#     num_layers - Number of transformer layers
#     hidden_size
#     seq_length
#     num_attention_heads
#     max_position_embeddings
#     tokenizer_type
#     iteration
#     params_dtype
#     bert_binary_head - Used only if model_type is BERT
#     previous_tensor_parallel_size - Optional
#     previous_pipeline_parallel_size - Optional
#     true_vocab_size
#     make_vocab_size_divisble_by
#     consumed_train_samples
#     consumed_valid_samples
# messages
# {
#   "name": "embeddings"
#   "position embeddings"
#   "word embeddings"

# (for each transformer layer):
# {
#   "name": "transformer layer N"
#   "input norm weight"
#   "input norm bias"
#   "qkv weight"
#   "qkv bias"
