  // kReduce, for CPU and GPU. If you use kAllReduce, different threads
  // optimize their parameters separately. If you use kReduce, the optimizations
  // of parameters are distributed to different threads.
  // For example, a model has 100 parameters and is running with four threads,
  // if you choose kAllReduce, every thread is to optimize 100 parameters
  // separately, if you choose kReduce, every thread is to optimize 25
  // parameters.
  // Of particular note is, if you use kReduce when using CPU training,
  // all the parameters are shared between different threads. This feature will
  // save memory.
  // FIXME(zcd): The result of the two modes(kAllReduce and kReduce) maybe not
  // equal for GPU. Because, the result of the different order of summing maybe
  // different, for example, the result of `a+b+c+d` may be different with the
  // result of `c+a+b+d`.
  // For GPU, the implementation of kAllReduce and kReduce is adopted NCCL,
  // so the result of kAllReduce and kReduce maybe not equal.
  // For CPU, if you want to fix the order of summing to make the result
  // of kAllReduce and kReduce no diff, you can add
  // `FLAGS_cpu_deterministic=true` to env.
