    Currently, DataParallel class only supports to run the dynamic graph
    with multi-process. 
    
    Now supports two ways to start training:

    1. start by ``paddle.distributed.spawn`` method, for example:

        ``python demo.py`` (spawn need to be called in ``__main__`` method)
    
    2. start by ``paddle.distributed.launch`` module, for example:
    
        ``python -m paddle.distributed.launch --gpus=0,1 demo.py`` .

    And the content of `demo.py` is the code of examples.

    Args:
        layers(Layer): The module that should be executed by data parallel.
        strategy(ParallelStrategy, optional): (deprecated) The strategy of data parallelism, 
            contains environment configuration related to parallel execution. Default: None.
        comm_buffer_size(int, optional):  It limits the memory size(MB) of one buffer  
                                          parameters' gradient which is the input of communication 
                                          calling(e.g NCCLAllReduce). Default: 25.
        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 
                                         improve performance. Default: 1.
        find_unused_parameters(bool, optional): Whether to traverse the entire backward graph from the
                                                all tensors in the return value of the wrapped model's 
                                                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

                                                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
                                                are sure to participate in the loss calculation and the 
                                                autograd graph construction, please set it False. Default: False.

    .. 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.
