    Split the weight of the specified operation into multiple devices
    and do the computation in parallel.

    Now the following three cases are supported.

    Case 1: Parallel Embedding
        The weight of the embedding operation is a NxM matrix with N rows and M columns.
        With parallel embedding, the weight is split into num_partitions partitions, each
        of which is a matrix with (N/num_partitions + 1) rows and M column where the last
        row as the padding idx.

        Suppose we split the NxM weight into two partitons on device_0 and device_1
        respectively. Then, one each device, the final weight has (N/2 + 1) rows with the
        index range from 0 to N/2. On device_0, all values in the input within [0, N/2 -1]
        keep unchanged and all other values are changed to N/2 which is the padding index and
        are mapped to all zeros after embedding. In the same way, on device_1, the value V in the
        input within [N/2, N-1] will be changed to (V - N/2), and all other values are changed
        to N/2 and are mapped to all zeros after embedding. Finally, the results on the two
        devices are sum-reduced.

        The Embedding put on single card is as shown below:

        Parallel Embedding is shown as below:

            :alt: split_embedding
            :align: center

    Case 2: Row Parallel Linear
        The weight of the linear operation is a NxM matrix with N rows and M columns.
        With row parallel linear, the weight is split into num_partitions partitions, each
        of which is a matrix with N/num_partitions rows and M column.

        The linear layer put on single card is shown as below, the input variable is represented by X,
        the weight matrix is represented by W and the output vaiable is O. The linear layer on single card is 
        simple matrix multiplication operation, O = X * W.

            :alt: single_linear
            :align: center

        Row Parallel Linear is shown as below. As the name suggests, Row Parallel Linear splits the weight matrix W into
        [[W_row1], [W_row2]] along the row. And accordingly the input is splitted along the column into [X_col1, X_col2] and multiply their
        respective weight matrices. Finally apply AllReduce on the output from each card to get the final output.

            :width: 800
            :alt: split_row
            :align: center

    Case 3: Column Parallel Linear
        The weight of the linear operation is a NxM matrix with N rows and M columns.
        With column parallel linear, the weight is split into num_paratitions partitions, each
        of which is a matrix with N rows and M/num_partitions column.

        The linear layer put on single card has been illustrated on case 2 and Column Parallel Linear
        is shown as below. The Column Parallel Linear splits the weight matrix W into [W_col1, W_col2] along the column and 
        these splitted matrices respectively multiply the input. Finally apply AllGather on the output from each card to get the final output.

            :alt: split_col
            :align: center
    
    As observed, the column parallel linear and row parallel linear can be combined to skip one ALLGATHER communication
    operator. Furthermore the Attention and MLP can be combined to imporve the performance as shown below.

    As shown below, the in_tensor_list in GPU0 includes 0_0 and 0_1, and GPU1 includes 1_0 and 1_1.
    Through alltoall operator, the 0_0 in GPU0 will be sent to GPU0 and 0_1 to GPU1, 1_0 in GPU1 sent to GPU0 and 1_1 to GPU1.
    Finally the out_tensor_list in GPU0 includes 0_0 and 1_0, and GPU1 includes 0_1 and 1_1.
