# [ TranslatedLayer : Run program in imperative mode ]
# 
# DESIGN IDEA: using an special operator `RunProgram`, execute program inside operator.
#
# Op's Inputs:
#   - the input variable of the user feed
#   - the necessary parameters of the network
# Op's Outputs:
#   - the output variable of fetch
# 
# This op receives a complete program desc, internally creates scope
# and executor, executes this program. Key points:
#
# 1. Data Sharing: 
#   The varBase of the dynamic graph is not in the scope, so before the op
#   executes the program internally, create persistent variables with the
#   same name as feed, parameters, and fetch in the scope, and share the
#   LoDTensor of the op input.
# 
# 2. Forward and Backward Separation:
#   Because the dynamic graph op performs the forward and backward separately,
#   in the forward op RunProgram, we only execute the forward part of whole program,
#   and in the backward op RunProgramGrad, we execute the backward part of program.
#   We can not separate the program into forward and backward part, which will 
#   make some control flow execution logic wrong.


# NOTE: [compatible] deal with model saved by save_inference_model,
# which need get var info from program desc
