+    calculation.
+
+    Additionally, the tensor parallel all reduce of the input

+    the weight gradients.
+
+    In the case of sequence parallelism, the reduce scatter of the
+    input gradients is done asynchronously with the calcluation of the
+    weight gradients.
+
+    Use of this module requires that the environment variable
+    CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS=1. There are a few collective
+    operations, noted in the code, that should be scheduled before
+    compute kernels to overlap the communication with the computation,
+    which is necessary for a speedup but not for correctness so that
+    ordering isn't imposed by the scheduler. Setting
+    CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS=1 forces the kernels to be scheduled
+    in the order they are called.

+    Args:
+        input (torch.Tensor required): input like torch.nn.functional.linear

+
+        gradient_accumulation_fusion (bool required): Perform the gradient

+            fused_weight_gradient_mlp_cuda module. To use
+            gradient_accumulation_fusion you must install APEX with
+            --cpp_ext and --cuda_ext. For example: "pip install

+            " Note that the extension requires CUDA>=11. Otherwise, you

+
+        allreduce_dgrad (bool required): Do the allreduce of input gradients.
+            The allreduce is done asynchronously with the computation of weight
+            gradients. If sequence_parallel is True, this must be
+            False, as no all reduce is performed.
+
+        sequence_parallel (bool required): Indicates that sequence
+            parallelism is used and thus in the forward pass the input is

+            reduce scattered.
+

+

+
+    Use of this module requires that the environment variable

+    operations, noted in the code, that should be scheduled before
+    compute kernels to overlap the communication with the computation,
+    which is necessary for a speedup but not for correctness so that
