        Run a parallel executor with fetch_list.

        The feed parameter can be a dict or a list. If feed is a dict, the
        feed data will be split into multiple devices. If feed is a list, we
        assume the data has been splitted into multiple devices, the each
        element in the list will be copied to each device directly.

        For example, if the feed is a dict:

        >>> exe = ParallelExecutor()
        >>> # the image will be splitted into devices. If there is two devices
        >>> # each device will process an image with shape (24, 1, 28, 28)

        Args:

            feed(list|dict|None): The feed variables. If the feed is a dict,
                tensors in that dict will be splitted into each devices. If
                the feed is a list, each element of the list will be copied

                This parameter has been deprecated. Default None.
            return_numpy(bool): Whether converts the fetched tensor to numpy.
                Default: True.

        Returns:
            List: The fetched result list.

            ValueError: If the feed is a list, but its length is not equal the
                length of active places, or its element's is not dict.

        NOTES:
            1. If the feed's type is dict, the number of data that feeds to
               ParallelExecutor must be bigger than active places. Otherwise,
               it will throw exception from C++ side. Special attention should be
               paid to check whether the last batch of the dataset is bigger
               than active places.
            2. If active places are more than one, the fetch results for each
               variable is a list, and each element of this list is the variable of
               respective active place.
