Summary:
We use SimpleDistributedPerLayerOptimizer instead of DistributedPerLayerOptimizer.
The latter causes an issue when switching to
register_full_backward_hook
.The issue arises because DistributedPerLayerOptimizer uses per-parameter hooks on top of the per-module hooks. During the backward pass, the per-parameter hooks fire before the per-module hooks. Per-sample gradients are computed when the per-module hooks fire, and an error occurs when the per-parameter hooks try to access the per-sample gradients before they are computed. Forcing the order in which hooks are called is not possible with PyTorch.
