def get_forward_backward_func():
    """Retrieves the appropriate forward_backward function given the
    configuration of parallel_state.

    Returns a function that will perform all of the forward and
    backward passes of the model given the pipeline model parallel
    world size and virtual pipeline model parallel world size in the
    global parallel_state.

    Note that if using sequence parallelism, the sequence length component of
    the tensor shape is updated to original_sequence_length /
    tensor_model_parallel_world_size.

    The function returned takes the following arguments:

    forward_step_func (required): A function that takes a data
        iterator and a model as its arguments and return the model's
        forward output and the loss function. The loss function should
        take one torch.Tensor and return a torch.Tensor of loss and a
        dictionary of string -> torch.Tensor.

        A third argument, checkpoint_activations_microbatch, indicates
        that the activations for this microbatch should be
        checkpointed. A None value for this argument indicates that
        the default from the configuration should be used. This is
        used when the
        num_microbatches_with_partial_activation_checkpoints is used.

        For example:

        def loss_func(loss_mask, output_tensor):
            losses = output_tensor.float()
            loss_mask = loss_mask.view(-1).float()
            loss = torch.sum(losses.view(-1) * loss_mask) / loss_mask.sum()

            # Reduce loss for logging.
            averaged_loss = average_losses_across_data_parallel_group([loss])

            return loss, {'lm loss': averaged_loss[0]}

        def forward_step(data_iterator, model):
            data, loss_mask = next(data_iterator)
            output = model(data)
            return output, partial(loss_func, loss_mask)


        forward_backward_func(forward_step_func=forward_step, ...)


    data_iterator (required): an iterator over the data, will be
        passed as is to forward_step_func. Expected to be a list of
        iterators in the case of interleaved pipeline parallelism.

    model (required): the actual model. Expected to be a list of modules in the case of interleaved
        pipeline parallelism. Must be a (potentially wrapped) megatron.core.models.MegatronModule.

    num_microbatches (int, required):
        The number of microbatches to go through

    seq_length (int, required): Sequence length of the current global batch. If this is a dual-stack
        transformer, this is the encoder's sequence length. This is ignored if variable_seq_lengths
        in the config is True. Otherwise, each microbatch in the current global batch size must use
        this sequence length.

    micro_batch_size (int, required): The number of sequences in a microbatch.

    decoder_seq_length (int, optional): The sequence length for the decoder in a dual-stack
        transformer. This is ignored for a single-stack transformer.

    forward_only (optional, default = False): Perform only the forward step

    collect_non_loss_data (optional, bool, default=False): TODO

    first_val_step (bool, optional): Is the first step of the validation phase. Used by
        Transformer Engine modules to only update their fp8 weights only on the first validation
        step.

    """Forward step for passed-in model.

    If it is the first stage, the input tensor is obtained from the data_iterator.
    Otherwise, the passed-in input_tensor is used.

    Args:
        forward_step_func (callable):
            The forward step function for the model that takes the
            data iterator as the first argument, and model as the second.
            This user's forward step is expected to output a tuple of two elements:

                1. The output object from the forward step. This output object needs to be a
                    tensor or some kind of collection of tensors. The only hard requirement
                    for this object is that it needs to be acceptible as input into the second
                    function.
                2. A function to reduce (optionally) the output from the forward step. This
                    could be a reduction over the loss from the model, it could be a function that
                    grabs the output from the model and reformats, it could be a function that just
                    passes through the model output. This function must have one of the following
                    patterns, and depending on the pattern different things happen internally:

                        a. A tuple of reduced loss and some other data. Note that in this case
                            the first argument is divided by the number of global microbatches,
                            assuming it is a loss, so that the loss is stable as a function of
                            the number of devices the step is split across.
                        b. A triple of reduced loss, number of tokens, and some other data. This
                            is similar to case (a), but the loss is further averaged across the
                            number of tokens in the batch. If the user is not already averaging
                            across the number of tokens, this pattern is useful to use.
                        c. Any arbitrary data the user wants (eg a dictionary of tensors, a list
                            of tensors, etc in the case of inference). To trigger case 3 you need
                            to specify `collect_non_loss_data=True` and you may also want to
                            specify `forward_only=True` in the call to the parent forward_backward
                            function.
        data_iterator (iterator):
            The data iterator.
        model (nn.Module):
            The model to perform the forward step on.
        num_microbatches (int):
            The number of microbatches.
        input_tensor (Tensor or list[Tensor]):
            The input tensor(s) for the forward step.
        forward_data_store (list):
            The list to store the forward data. If you go down path 2.a or
            2.b for the return of your forward reduction function then this will store only the
            final dimension of the output, for example the metadata output by the loss function.
            If you go down the path of 2.c then this will store the entire output of the forward
            reduction function applied to the model output.
        config (object):
            The configuration object.
        collect_non_loss_data (bool, optional):
            Whether to collect non-loss data. Defaults to False.
            This is the path to use if you want to collect arbitrary output from the model forward,
            such as with inference use cases. Defaults to False.
        checkpoint_activations_microbatch (int, optional):
            The microbatch to checkpoint activations.
            Defaults to None.
        is_first_microbatch (bool, optional):
            Whether it is the first microbatch. Defaults to False.
        current_microbatch (int, optional):
            The current microbatch. Defaults to None.

    Returns:
        Tensor or list[Tensor]: The output object(s) from the forward step.
        Tensor: The number of tokens.
