    Given a list of Tensor :math:`t\_list` , calculate the global norm for the elements of all tensors in 
    :math:`t\_list` , and limit it to ``clip_norm`` .
    
    - If the global norm is greater than ``clip_norm`` , all elements of :math:`t\_list` will be compressed by a ratio.
    
    - If the global norm is less than or equal to ``clip_norm`` , nothing will be done.
    
354 355
    The list of Tensor :math:`t\_list` is not passed from this class, but the gradients of all parameters set in ``optimizer``.
    If ``need_clip`` of specific param is ``False`` in its ``ParamAttr``, then the gradients of this param will not be clipped.
356
    
357
    Gradient clip will takes effect after being set in ``optimizer`` , see the document ``optimizer`` 
358
    (for example: :ref:`api_paddle_optimizer_SGD`).
359 360

    The clipping formula is:
361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371

    .. math::

        t\_list[i] = t\_list[i] * \\frac{clip\_norm}{\max(global\_norm, clip\_norm)}

    where:

    .. math::

        global\_norm = \sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}(l2norm(t\_list[i]))^2}

372 373 374 375
    Note:
        ``need_clip`` of ``ClipGradyGlobalNorm`` HAS BEEN DEPRECATED since 2.0. 
        Please use ``need_clip`` in ``ParamAttr`` to speficiy the clip scope.

376
    Args:
377
        clip_norm (float): The maximum norm value.
378
        group_name (str, optional): The group name for this clip. Default value is ``default_group``.
