<p>The numerical gradient only relies on forward Operator. So we use the numerical gradient as the reference value. And the gradient checking is performed in the following three steps:</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>calculate the numerical gradient</li>
<li>calculate CPU kernel gradient with the backward Operator and compare it with the numerical gradient</li>
<li>calculate GPU kernel gradient with the backward Operator and compare it with the numeric gradient (if supported)</li>
