            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.

            mp_degree(int, optional): [Hybrid parallelism ONLY] specific the number of gpus within each megatron parallelism group; and megatron parallelism will turn be off if mp_degree=1.  Default is 1.

            pp_degree(int, optional): [Hybrid parallelism ONLY] specific the number of gpus within each pipeline parallelism group; and pipeline parallelism will turn be off if pp_degree=1.  Default is 1.

            pp_allreduce_in_optimize(bool, optional): [Hybrid parallelism ONLY] move the allreduce operations from backward stage to update(optimize) stage when pipeline parallelsim is on.
