RecomputeOptimizer
-------------------------------

.. py:class:: paddle.fluid.optimizer.RecomputeOptimizer(optimizer)

通常来讲，一个深度学习的训练流程包含了三个子步骤：首先，运行前向算子来计算Variable和loss的值；其次，运行反向算子来计算参数的梯度；最后，应用优化算法以更新参数值。

在前向运算过程中，反向运算会用到的Variable都会保存在内存中，当模型深度很深时，这会占用大量的内存。

重计算将深度学习网络切分为k个部分（segments）。在每个segment，运行反向运算时会首先运算前向计算。在重计算模式下，前向计算除了checkpoint和一些必须存储在内存中的特殊Variable，其他临时Variable都会被释放，这对节省内存非常有益。

把一个深度学习网络切分为k个segments的Variables被称为checkpoints。用户在使用运行RecomputeOptimizer之前需要先设置checkpoints。

参数: 
    - **optimizer** (Optimizer)-内部优化器
