        func (function): The target function is called by spawned process.
            This function need to be able to pickled, so it must be defined
            at the top level of a module.
        args (list|tuple, optional): Arguments passed to ``func``.
        nprocs (int, optional): Number of processed to start. Default: -1.
            when nprocs is -1, the available device will be obtained from

            variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES; If use XPU, the currently available
            device ID is obtained from the environment variable XPU_VISIBLE_DEVICES.
        join (bool, optional): Perform a blocking join on all spawned processes.
            Default: True.
        daemon (bool, optional): The spawned processes' daemon flag. Default: False.
        **options(dict, optional): Other initial parallel execution environment
            configuration options. The following options are currently supported:
            (1) start_method (string): the way to start a process.
            The start method can be ``spawn`` , ``fork`` , ``forkserver`` .
            Because the CUDA runtime does not support the ``fork`` start method,
            when use CUDA in subprocesses, we should start process by ``spawn``
            or ``forkserver`` method. Default: "spawn" ;
            (2) gpus (string): The training process will run on the
            selected gpus, such as "0,1,2,3". Default: None;
            (3) xpus (string): The training process will run on the
            selected xpus, such as "0,1,2,3". Default: None;
            (4) mlus (string): The training process will run on the
            selected mlus, such as "0,1,2,3". Default: None;
            (5) ips (string): Paddle cluster nodes ips, such as
            "192.168.0.16,192.168.0.17". Default: "127.0.0.1" .

    Returns:
        ``MultiprocessContext`` object, it hold the spawned processes.
