    Scatter a tensor to all participators. As shown below, one process is started with a GPU and the source of the scatter
    is GPU0. Through scatter operator, the data in GPU0 will be sent to all GPUs averagely.

    Args:
        tensor (Tensor): The output Tensor. Its data type
            should be float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, int8, uint8, bool or bfloat16.
        tensor_list (list|tuple): A list/tuple of Tensors to scatter. Every element in the list must be a Tensor whose data type
            should be float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, int8, uint8, bool or bfloat16. Default value is None.
        src (int): The source rank id. Default value is 0.
        group (Group, optional): The group instance return by new_group or None for global default group.
        sync_op (bool, optional): Whether this op is a sync op. The default value is True.

    Returns:
        None.

    Scatter picklable objects from the source to all others. Similiar to scatter(), but python object can be passed in.

    Args:
        out_object_list (list): The list of objects to store the scattered objects.
        in_object_list (list): The list of objects to scatter. Only objects on the src rank will be scattered.
        src (int): The source rank in global view.
