Supported Platforms:
``Ascend`` ``GPU``
Examples:
.. note::
Before running the following examples, you need to configure the communication environment variables.
For the Ascend devices, users need to prepare the rank table, set rank_id and device_id.
Please see the `Ascend tutorial
<https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorials/experts/en/r2.0/parallel/train_ascend.html#preparations>`_
for more details.
For the GPU devices, users need to prepare the host file and mpi, please see the `GPU tutorial
<https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorials/experts/en/r2.0/parallel/train_gpu.html#preparation>`_ .
This example should be run with multiple devices.
