            communication. Default is segment_broadcast_MB.

            segment_broadcast_MB(float, optional): segment by the parameters broadcast volume. sharding will introduce parameter broadcast operations into program, and 
            after every segment_broadcast_MB size parameter being broadcasted, the program will be cutted into one segment.
            This configuration will affect the communication speed in sharding training, and should be an empirical value decided by your model size and network topology.

            the moment var will be prefetch from and offloaded to Host memory during update stage. it is a stragtegy that trades off between training speed and GPU memory, and is recommened to be turn on only when gradient_merge_acc_step large, where
            the number of time of update stage will be relatively small compared with forward&backward's.  Default is False.

            dp_degree(int, optional): specific the number of data parallelism group; when dp_degree >= 2, it will introduce dp_degree ways data parallelism as the outer parallelsim for the inner parallelsim. User is responsible to ensure global_world_size = mp_degree * sharding_degree * pp_degree * dp_degree. Default is 1.

        Gradient Merge, also called as Gradient Accumulation,
        is a strategy for large batch training. With this strategy,
        model parameter will not be updated until user-defined steps.
        For each step, the forward network and the backward network
        will run to calculate the gradient of model parameters.
        For every k step, the optimization network will run,
        applying a specific optimization method (such as SGD, Adam)
        to model parameters.
