+*The performance gap between Fuild and v2 comes from the network interference.*
+
+
+## Steps to Run the Performance Test
+
+1. You must re-compile PaddlePaddle and enable `-DWITH_DISTRIBUTE` to build PaddlePaddle with distributed support.
+1. When the build finishes, copy the output `whl` package located under `build/python/dist` to current directory.
+1. Run `docker build -t [image:tag] .` to build the docker image and run `docker push [image:tag]` to push the image to reponsitory so kubernetes can find it.
+1. Run `kubectl create -f pserver.yaml && kubectl create -f trainer.yaml` to start the job on your kubernetes cluster (you must configure the `kubectl` client before this step).
+1. Run `kubectl get po` to get running pods, and run `kubectl logs [podID]` to fetch the pod log of pservers and trainers.
+
+Check the logs for the distributed training progress and analyze the performance.
+
+## Enable Verbos Logs
+
+Edit `pserver.yaml` and `trainer.yaml` and add an environment variable `GLOG_v=3` and `GLOG_logtostderr=1` to see what happend in detail.

+# C++ Data Feeding
+
+In training with Paddle V2 API, data feeding wholly dependents on Python code. To get rid of the Python environment and achieve the goal of "wrapping the whole training by a while loop op" in Paddle Fluid, a C++ data feeding mechanism is required. 
+
+In this document we show the fundamental design of C++ data feeding process, which includes the data reading, shuffling and batching.
+
+## Reader
+
+A new concept named 'Reader' is introduced. `Reader` is a series of inherited classes which can be hold by our `Variable` and they are used to read or process file data.
+
+
+### `ReaderBase`
+
+`ReaderBase` is the abstract base class of all readers. It defines the all readers' interfaces.
+
+```cpp
+class ReaderBase {
+ public:
+  explicit ReaderBase(const std::vector<DDim>& shapes) : shapes_(shapes) {
+    PADDLE_ENFORCE(!shapes_.empty());
+  }
+  // Read the next batch of data. (A 'batch' can be only one instance)
+  virtual void ReadNext(std::vector<LoDTensor>* out) = 0;
+  // Show whether the next bacth exists.
+  virtual bool HasNext() const = 0;
+  
+  // Reinitialize the reader and read the file from the begin.
+  virtual void ReInit() = 0;
+  
+  // Get a certain read in data's shape.
+  DDim shape(size_t idx) const;
+  // Get shapes of all read in data.
+  std::vector<DDim> shapes() const { return shapes_; }
+  // Set shapes of read in data.
+  void set_shapes(const std::vector<DDim>& shapes) { shapes_ = shapes; }
+
+  virtual ~ReaderBase() {}
+
+ protected:
+  std::vector<DDim> shapes_;
+};
+```
+
+### `FileReader` and `DecoratedReader`
+
+These two classes are derived from the `ReaderBase` and will further be derived by respective specific readers. That is to say, in our design, there are two kinds of readers: file readers and decorated readers. A file reader reads from a file of some specific format, and yield only one instance of data at a time. e.g. RecordIO reader, jpg reader, .... A decorated reader takes another reader(both file reader and decorated reader are OK) as its 'underlying reader'. It gets data from its underlying reader, does some process on them(shuffling, or batching), then yields processed data. The output data of a decorated reader can be a single instance or a batch. `ShuffleReader` and `BatchReader` are both decorated readers.
+
+All the readers share exactly the same interfaces defined in `ReaderBase`. So they can be decorated for more than one time: We can **shuffle** a reader's outputs and then **batch** the shuffle outputs. The interface consistency also allows related ops use readers without knowing what they are exactly.
+
+
+### `ReaderHolder`
+
+Different readers belong to different class types. It leads to a problem: How can we drop them into `Variable`s and fetch them out by a unified method? For example, if a Variable holds a `BatchReader`, we can not get it by the following code:
+
+```cpp
+var->Get<ReaderBase>("batch_reader");
+```
+
+we have to write:
+
+```cpp
+var->Get<BatchReader>("batch_reader");
+```
+
+This requires each time getting a reader from a variable we must know the reader's type exactly. It is nearly impossible.
+
+To solve this problem, we introduce `ReaderHolder` as a wrapper. It acts as an empty decorator of `ReaderBase`, which erases reader's type. With `ReaderHolder` we are able to fetch all types of readers by `var->Get<ReaderHolder>("...")` and regard the obtained object as a reader.
+
+## Related Operators
+
+To create and invoke readers, some now ops are introduced:
+
+### `CreateReaderOp`
+
+Each reader has its creating op. File readers' creating ops have no input and yield the created file reader as its output. Decorated readers' creating ops take the underlying readers as inputs and then yield new decorated readers.
+
+### `ReadOp`
+
+A reader is only a Variable. It cannot trigger the reading process by itself. So we add the `ReadOp` to execute it. A `ReadOp` takes a reader Variable as its input. Each time it runs, it invokes the reader‘s `ReadNext()` function and gets a new batch of data(or only one instance of data, if we use file reader directly). The output data of a reader are in the form of `std::vector<LoDTenosr>`, so the `ReadOp` also needs to split the vector and move LoDTensors to their respective output Variables.

 The `select` operation has been in OS kernels long before Go language.  All Unix kernels implement system calls *poll* and *select*.

 ### Send and Recv
 
+Go's CSP implementation depends on data type *channel*. There are two types of channels:
+
+1. The unblocked channel, or buffered channel, is a blocking queue with a non-zero sized buffer. The sending to buffered channel blocks if the buffer is full, and the receive operation blocks if the buffer is empty.
+1. blocked channel, or unbuffered channel, is a blocking queue with no buffer.  Both sending and receiving block with unbuffered channels.
+
+There are four types of actions with a channel:
+
+1. Create a channel
+
+   ```go
+   ch := make(chan int) // this is an unbuffered channel
+   ch := make(chan int, 100) // this is a buffered channel of 100 ints.
+   ```
+
+1. Send
+
+   ```go
+   ch <- 111
+   ```
+
+1. Recv
+
+   ```go
+   y, ok <- ch
+   ```
+
+1. Close
+
+   ```go
+   close(ch)
+   ```
+   
+   Please be aware that a closed channel is not a nil channel, which is `var ch chan int`.
+   
+There are some [axioms with channels](https://dave.cheney.net/2014/03/19/channel-axioms):
+
+1. A send to a nil channel blocks forever
+
+1. A receive from a nil channel blocks forever
+
+1. A send to a closed channel panics
+
+1. A receive from a closed channel returns the residual values and then zeros.
+
+In Fluid, we have [buffered channels](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/details/buffered_channel.h) and [unbuffered channels](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/framework/details/unbuffered_channel.h)
+
+The following program illustrates the Python syntax for accessing Fluid buffers.
+
+```python
+import fluid
+
+buffer_size = 10
+ch = fluid.make_channel(dtype=INT, buffer_size)
+
+# Now write three elements to the channel
+with fluid.while(steps=buffer_size):
+  fluid.send(ch, step)
+
+fluid.close_channel(ch)
+
+with fluid.while(steps=buffer_size):
+  fluid.print(fluid.recv(ch))
+```
+
+The following example shows that to avoid the always-blocking behavior of unbuffered channels, we need to use Fluid's goroutines.
+
+```python
+import fluid
+
+ch = fluid.make_channel(dtype=INT)
+
+with fluid.go():
+  fluid.send(ch)
+
+y = fluid.recv(ch)
+
+fluid.close_channel(ch)
+```
+
 ### Select
 
+In Go, the `select` statement lets a goroutine wait on multiple communication operations. A `select` blocks until one of its cases can run, then it executes that case. It chooses one at random if multiple are ready.
+
+```go
+
+ch1  := make(chan int)       
+ch2  := make(chan int, 100)
+
+x := 0
+
+for {
+    select {
+    case ch1 <- x:
+      x := x + 1
+    case y <- ch2:
+      fmt.Println("Received on channel")
+    default:
+      fmt.Println("Default")
+    }
+  }
+
+```
+
+In Fluid, we should be able to do the same:
+
+```python
+ch1  = fluid.make_chan(dtype=INT)
+ch2 = fluid.make_chan(dtype=INT, 100)
+
+sel = fluid.select()
+
+with sel.case(ch1, 'w', X):
+    fluid.layers.increment(X)
+
+with sel.case(ch2, 'r', Y):
+    fluid.print("Received on Channel")
+
+with sel.default():
+    fluid.print("Default")
+
+```
+
+In the above code snippet, `X` and `Y` are variables. Now let us look at each of these statements one by one.
+
+- `sel.case(ch1, 'w', X)` : This specifies that we are writing to `ch1` and we want to write the integer in variable `X` to the channel. The character `w` is used here to make the syntax familiar to write syntax in Python I/O.
+
+- `sel.case(ch2, 'r', Y)` : This specifies that we would like to read the result from `ch2` into variable `Y`. The character `r` is used here to make the syntax familiar to read syntax in Python I/O.
+
+- `sel.default()` : This is equivalent to the default in Go `select`. If none of the channels are ready for read or write, then the fluid code in the default block will be executed.

doc/design/switch.md

+### Design Doc: Switch
+
+### Background
+
+Many programming languages provide `switch` as a generalization of `if-elif-else`.  We want to add it to Fluid.
+
+The following example shows the usage of `fluid.switch`.
+
+```python
+a = fluid.Var(10)
+b = fluid.Var(0)
+
+with switch() as switch:
+    with switch.case(fluid.less_equal(a, 10)):
+        fluid.print("Case 1")
+    with switch.case(fluid.larger(a, 0)):
+        fluid.print("Case 2")
+    with switch.default():
+        fluid.print("Case 3")
+```
+
+### The Semantics
+
+1. A `switch` control-flow checks cases one-by-one.
+1. The condition of each case is a boolean value, which is a scalar, and differs from the `fluid.if_else` control-flow, which condition could be a vector of boolean values.
+1. It runs the first matched case, or the default case if there is one.
+1. Once it matches a case, it runs the corresponding branch and only that branch.  It's like there is a C's `break` keyword at the end of each case.
+
+The above program should print and print only "Case 1".
+
+The implementation of the backward pass of the `switch` control-flow is easier than the backward of the `if_else`, because `switch` runs at most one branch, whereas `if-else` could run more than one branches.

-
-
-## 概述
-
-本文将介绍如何使用PaddlePaddle在不同的集群框架下完成分布式训练。分布式训练架构如下图所示：
-
-<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13348433/31772175-5f419eca-b511-11e7-9db7-5231fe3d9ccb.png" width="500">
-
-- 数据分片（Data shard): 用于训练神经网络的数据，被切分成多个部分，每个部分分别给每个trainer使用。
-- 计算节点（Trainer）: 每个trainer启动后读取切分好的一部分数据，开始神经网络的“前馈”和“后馈”计算，并和参数服务器通信。在完成一定量数据的训练后，上传计算得出的梯度（gradients），然后下载优化更新后的神经网络参数（parameters）。
-- 参数服务器（Parameter server）:每个参数服务器只保存整个神经网络所有参数的一部分。参数服务器接收从计算节点上传的梯度，并完成参数优化更新，再将更新后的参数下发到每个计算节点。
-
-这样，通过计算节点和参数服务器的分布式协作，可以完成神经网络的SGD方法的训练。PaddlePaddle可以同时支持同步随机梯度下降（SGD）和异步随机梯度下降。
-
-在使用同步SGD训练神经网络时，PaddlePaddle使用同步屏障（barrier），使梯度的提交和参数的更新按照顺序方式执行。在异步SGD中，则并不会等待所有trainer提交梯度才更新参数，这样极大地提高了计算的并行性：参数服务器之间不相互依赖，并行地接收梯度和更新参数，参数服务器也不会等待计算节点全部都提交梯度之后才开始下一步，计算节点之间也不会相互依赖，并行地执行模型的训练。可以看出，虽然异步SGD方式会提高参数更新并行度, 但是并不能保证参数同步更新，在任意时间某一台参数服务器上保存的参数可能比另一台要更新，与同步SGD相比，梯度会有噪声。
-
-
-## 环境准备
-
-1. 准备您的计算集群。计算集群通常由一组（几台到几千台规模）的Linux服务器组成。服务器之间可以通过局域网（LAN）联通，每台服务器具有集群中唯一的IP地址（或者可被DNS解析的主机名）。集群中的每台计算机通常被成为一个“节点”。
-1. 我们需要在集群的所有节点上安装 PaddlePaddle。 如果要启用GPU，还需要在节点上安装对应的GPU驱动以及CUDA。PaddlePaddle的安装可以参考[build_and_install](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/zh/getstarted/build_and_install/index_cn.html)的多种安装方式。我们推荐使用[Docker](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/zh/getstarted/build_and_install/docker_install_cn.html)安装方式来快速安装PaddlePaddle。
-
-安装完成之后，执行下面的命令可以查看已经安装的版本（docker安装方式可以进入docker容器执行：`docker run -it paddlepaddle/paddle:[tag] /bin/bash`）：
-```bash

-# Distributed Training
-
-## Introduction
-
-In this article, we'll explain how to run distributed training jobs with PaddlePaddle on different types of clusters. The diagram below shows the main architecture of a distributed trainning job:
-
-<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13348433/31772146-41523d84-b511-11e7-8a12-a69fd136c283.png" width="500">
-
-- Data shard: training data will be split into multiple partitions, trainers use the partitions of the whole dataset to do the training job.
-- Trainer: each trainer reads the data shard, and train the neural network. Then the trainer will upload calculated "gradients" to parameter servers, and wait for parameters to be optimized on the parameter server side. When that finishes, the trainer download optimized parameters and continues its training.
-- Parameter server: every parameter server stores part of the whole neural network model data. They will do optimization calculations when gradients are uploaded from trainers, and then send updated parameters to trainers.
-
-PaddlePaddle can support both synchronize stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and asynchronous SGD.
-
-When training with synchronize SGD, PaddlePaddle uses an internal "synchronize barrier" which makes gradients update and parameter download in strict order. On the other hand, asynchronous SGD won't wait for all trainers to finish upload at a single step, this will increase the parallelism of distributed training: parameter servers do not depend on each other, they'll do parameter optimization concurrently. Parameter servers will not wait for trainers, so trainers will also do their work concurrently. But asynchronous SGD will introduce more randomness and noises in the gradient.
-
-## Preparations
-1. Prepare your computer cluster. It's normally a bunch of Linux servers connected by LAN. Each server will be assigned a unique IP address. The computers in the cluster can be called "nodes".
-2. Install PaddlePaddle on every node. If you are going to take advantage of GPU cards, you'll also need to install proper driver and CUDA libraries. To install PaddlePaddle please read [this build and install](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/en/getstarted/build_and_install/index_en.html) document. We strongly recommend using [Docker installation](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/docs/develop/documentation/en/getstarted/build_and_install/docker_install_en.html).
-
-After installation, you can check the version by typing the below command (run a docker container  if using docker: `docker run -it paddlepaddle/paddle:[tag] /bin/bash`):
-
-```bash
-$ paddle version
-PaddlePaddle 0.10.0rc, compiled with

On the other hand, asynchronous SGD won't wait for all trainers to finish upload at a single step, this will increase the parallelism of distributed training: parameter servers do not depend on each other, they'll do parameter optimization concurrently. Parameter servers will not wait for trainers, so trainers will also do their work concurrently. But asynchronous SGD will introduce more randomness and noises in the gradient.

+在不同集群中运行
+================
+
+PaddlePaddle可以使用多种分布式计算平台构建分布式计算任务，包括：
+- `Kubernetes <http://kubernetes.io>`_ Google开源的容器集群的调度框架，支持大规模集群生产环境的完整集群方案。
+- `OpenMPI <https://www.open-mpi.org>`_ 成熟的高性能并行计算框架。
+- `Fabric <http://www.fabfile.org>`_ 集群管理工具。可以使用`Fabric`编写集群任务提交和管理脚本。
+
+对于不同的集群平台，会分别介绍集群作业的启动和停止方法。这些例子都可以在 `cluster_train_v2 <https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/scripts/cluster_train_v2>`_ 找到。
+
+在使用分布式计算平台进行训练时，任务被调度在集群中时，分布式计算平台通常会通过API或者环境变量提供任务运行需要的参数，比如节点的ID、IP和任务节点个数等。

+Use different clusters
+======================
+
+PaddlePaddle supports running jobs on several platforms including:
+- `Kubernetes <http://kubernetes.io>`_ open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications from Google.
+- `OpenMPI <https://www.open-mpi.org>`_ Mature high performance parallel computing framework.
+- `Fabric <http://www.fabfile.org>`_ A cluster management tool. Write scripts to submit jobs or manage the cluster.
+
+We'll introduce cluster job management on these platforms. The examples can be found under `cluster_train_v2 <https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/scripts/cluster_train_v2>`_ .
+
+These cluster platforms provide API or environment variables for training processes, when the job is dispatched to different nodes. Like node ID, IP or total number of nodes etc.
