Steps to transpile trainer:
1. split variable to multiple blocks, aligned by product(dim[1:]) (width).
2. rename splited grad variables to add trainer_id suffix ".trainer_%d".
3. modify trainer program add split_op to each grad variable.
4. append send_op to send splited variables to server and
5. add recv_op to fetch params(splited blocks or origin param) from server.
6. append concat_op to merge splited blocks to update local weights.

Steps to transpile pserver:
1. create new program for parameter server.
2. create params and grad variables that assigned to current server instance.
3. create a sub-block in the server side program
4. append ops that should run on current server instance.
5. add listen_and_serv op

    **DistributeTranspiler**

    Convert the fluid program to distributed data-parallelism programs.
    Supports two modes: parameter server(pserver) mode and nccl2 mode.

    In pserver mode, the main_program will be transformed to use a remote
    parameter server to do parameter optimization. And the optimization
    graph will be put into a parameter server program.

    In nccl2 mode, the transpiler will append a NCCL_ID broadcasting
    op in startup_program to share the NCCL_ID across the job nodes.
    After transpile_nccl2 called, you ***must*** pass trainer_id and
    num_trainers argument to ParallelExecutor to enable NCCL2 distributed
    mode.
