                                                forward function. For parameters not involved in loss 
                                                calculation, their gradients will be marked as ready in

                                                gradient calculations. If not, serious error will occur.
                                                Note that setting the find_unused_parameters to True 
                                                will affect computing performance. Therefore, if all parameters

    .. note::
        ``PyLayer`` is not supported in DataParallel. To solve problems of this kind, 
        it's recommended to skip gradient synchronization among multiple cards by 'no_sync', 
        and manually implement 'all_reduce' before model optimization. There is an example 
        showing specific implemetation processing.
