reducer_flag (bool) – Reducer flag.
network (Cell) – The training network.
optimizer (Cell) – Optimizer for updating the weights.
sens (numbers.Number) – The scaling number.
grad (tuple(Tensor)) – Tuple of gradient tensors.
use_grad_accumulation (bool) – Use gradient accumulation flag.
mean (bool) – Gradients mean flag. default: None.
degree (int) – Device number. default: None.
max_accumulation_step (int) – Max accumulation steps. default: 1.
