+# C++ Data Feeding
+
+In training with Paddle V2 API, data feeding wholly dependents on Python code. To get rid of the Python environment and achieve the goal of "wrapping the whole training by a while loop op" in Paddle Fluid, a C++ data feeding mechanism is required. 
+
+In this document we show the fundamental design of C++ data feeding process, which includes the data reading, shuffling and batching.
+
+## Reader
+
+A new concept named 'Reader' is introduced. `Reader` is a series of inherited classes which can be hold by our `Variable` and they are used to read or process file data.
+
+
+### `ReaderBase`
+
+`ReaderBase` is the abstract base class of all readers. It defines the all readers' interfaces.
+
+```cpp
+class ReaderBase {
+ public:
+  explicit ReaderBase(const std::vector<DDim>& shapes) : shapes_(shapes) {
+    PADDLE_ENFORCE(!shapes_.empty());
+  }
+  // Read the next batch of data. (A 'batch' can be only one instance)
+  virtual void ReadNext(std::vector<LoDTensor>* out) = 0;
+  // Show whether the next bacth exists.
+  virtual bool HasNext() const = 0;
+  
+  // Reinitialize the reader and read the file from the begin.
+  virtual void ReInit() = 0;
+  
+  // Get a certain read in data's shape.
+  DDim shape(size_t idx) const;
+  // Get shapes of all read in data.
+  std::vector<DDim> shapes() const { return shapes_; }
+  // Set shapes of read in data.
+  void set_shapes(const std::vector<DDim>& shapes) { shapes_ = shapes; }
+
+  virtual ~ReaderBase() {}
+
+ protected:
+  std::vector<DDim> shapes_;
+};
+```
+
+### `FileReader` and `DecoratedReader`
+
+These two classes are derived from the `ReaderBase` and will further be derived by respective specific readers. That is to say, in our design, there are two kinds of readers: file readers and decorated readers. A file reader reads from a file of some specific format, and yield only one instance of data at a time. e.g. RecordIO reader, jpg reader, .... A decorated reader takes another reader(both file reader and decorated reader are OK) as its 'underlying reader'. It gets data from its underlying reader, does some process on them(shuffling, or batching), then yields processed data. The output data of a decorated reader can be a single instance or a batch. `ShuffleReader` and `BatchReader` are both decorated readers.
+
+All the readers share exactly the same interfaces defined in `ReaderBase`. So they can be decorated for more than one time: We can **shuffle** a reader's outputs and then **batch** the shuffle outputs. The interface consistency also allows related ops use readers without knowing what they are exactly.
+
+
+### `ReaderHolder`
+
+Different readers belong to different class types. It leads to a problem: How can we drop them into `Variable`s and fetch them out by a unified method? For example, if a Variable holds a `BatchReader`, we can not get it by the following code:
+
+```cpp
+var->Get<ReaderBase>("batch_reader");
+```
+
+we have to write:
+
+```cpp
+var->Get<BatchReader>("batch_reader");
+```
+
+This requires each time getting a reader from a variable we must know the reader's type exactly. It is nearly impossible.
+
+To solve this problem, we introduce `ReaderHolder` as a wrapper. It acts as an empty decorator of `ReaderBase`, which erases reader's type. With `ReaderHolder` we are able to fetch all types of readers by `var->Get<ReaderHolder>("...")` and regard the obtained object as a reader.
+
+## Related Operators
+
+To create and invoke readers, some now ops are introduced:
+
+### `CreateReaderOp`
+
+Each reader has its creating op. File readers' creating ops have no input and yield the created file reader as its output. Decorated readers' creating ops take the underlying readers as inputs and then yield new decorated readers.
+
+### `ReadOp`
+
+A reader is only a Variable. It cannot trigger the reading process by itself. So we add the `ReadOp` to execute it. A `ReadOp` takes a reader Variable as its input. Each time it runs, it invokes the reader‘s `ReadNext()` function and gets a new batch of data(or only one instance of data, if we use file reader directly). The output data of a reader are in the form of `std::vector<LoDTenosr>`, so the `ReadOp` also needs to split the vector and move LoDTensors to their respective output Variables.

 分布式训练
 ==========
 
+本节将介绍如何使用PaddlePaddle在不同的集群框架下完成分布式训练。分布式训练架构如下图所示：

+.. image:: src/ps_cn.png
+   :width: 500
+
+- 数据分片（Data shard): 用于训练神经网络的数据，被切分成多个部分，每个部分分别给每个trainer使用。
+- 计算节点（Trainer）: 每个trainer启动后读取切分好的一部分数据，开始神经网络的“前馈”和“后馈”计算，并和参数服务器通信。在完成一定量数据的训练后，上传计算得出的梯度（gradients），然后下载优化更新后的神经网络参数（parameters）。
+- 参数服务器（Parameter server）:每个参数服务器只保存整个神经网络所有参数的一部分。参数服务器接收从计算节点上传的梯度，并完成参数优化更新，再将更新后的参数下发到每个计算节点。
+
+这样，通过计算节点和参数服务器的分布式协作，可以完成神经网络的SGD方法的训练。PaddlePaddle可以同时支持同步随机梯度下降（SGD）和异步随机梯度下降。
+
+在使用同步SGD训练神经网络时，PaddlePaddle使用同步屏障（barrier），使梯度的提交和参数的更新按照顺序方式执行。在异步SGD中，则并不会等待所有trainer提交梯度才更新参数，这样极大地提高了计算的并行性：参数服务器之间不相互依赖，并行地接收梯度和更新参数，参数服务器也不会等待计算节点全部都提交梯度之后才开始下一步，计算节点之间也不会相互依赖，并行地执行模型的训练。可以看出，虽然异步SGD方式会提高参数更新并行度, 但是并不能保证参数同步更新，在任意时间某一台参数服务器上保存的参数可能比另一台要更新，与同步SGD相比，梯度会有噪声。

 Distributed Training
 ====================
 
+In this section, we'll explain how to run distributed training jobs with PaddlePaddle on different types of clusters. The diagram below shows the main architecture of a distributed trainning job:
+
+.. image:: src/ps_en.png
+   :width: 500
+
+- Data shard: training data will be split into multiple partitions, trainers use the partitions of the whole dataset to do the training job.
+- Trainer: each trainer reads the data shard, and train the neural network. Then the trainer will upload calculated "gradients" to parameter servers, and wait for parameters to be optimized on the parameter server side. When that finishes, the trainer download optimized parameters and continues its training.
+- Parameter server: every parameter server stores part of the whole neural network model data. They will do optimization calculations when gradients are uploaded from trainers, and then send updated parameters to trainers.
+
+PaddlePaddle can support both synchronize stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and asynchronous SGD.
+
+When training with synchronize SGD, PaddlePaddle uses an internal "synchronize barrier" which makes gradients update and parameter download in strict order. On the other hand, asynchronous SGD won't wait for all trainers to finish upload at a single step, this will increase the parallelism of distributed training: parameter servers do not depend on each other, they'll do parameter optimization concurrently. Parameter servers will not wait for trainers, so trainers will also do their work concurrently. But asynchronous SGD will introduce more randomness and noises in the gradient.
