    """
    Send a tensor to the receiver.

    Args:
        tensor (Tensor): The Tensor to send. Its data type
            should be float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, int8, uint8, bool or bfloat16.
        dst (int): The destination rank id.
        group (Group, optional): The group instance return by new_group or None for global default group. Default: None.
        sync_op (bool, optional): Whether this op is a sync op. The default value is True.

    Returns:
        Return a task object.

    Examples:
        .. code-block:: python

            >>> # doctest: +REQUIRES(env: DISTRIBUTED)
