        layers(Layer): The module that should be executed by data parallel.
416 417
        strategy(ParallelStrategy, optional): (deprecated) The strategy of data parallelism, 
            contains environment configuration related to parallel execution. Default: None.

421 422
        last_comm_buffer_size(float, optional): It limits memory size(MB) of last buffer in communication
                                         calling. Making the last communication buffer size small is useful to 
423
                                         improve performance. Default: 1.
424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434
        find_unused_parameters(bool, optional): Whether to traverse the entire backward graph from the

                                                forward function. For parameters not involved in loss 
                                                calculation, their gradients will be marked as ready in 
                                                advance to prepare reduce. Please note that all forward 
                                                outputs derived from the wrapped model parameters must 
                                                participate in the calculation of loss and subsequent 
                                                gradient calculations. If not, serious error will occur.
                                                Note that setting the find_unused_parameters to True 
                                                will affect computing performance. Therefore, if all parameters

    .. note::
        ``PyLayer`` is not supported in DataParallel. To solve problems of this kind, 
        it's recommended to skip gradient synchronization among multiple cards by 'no_sync', 
        and manually implement 'all_reduce' before model optimization. There is an example 
        showing specific implemetation processing.
