+The below figure shows top 1 train accuracy for local training with 8 GPUs and distributed training
+with 32 GPUs, and also distributed training with batch merge feature turned on. Note that the
+red curve is train with origin model configuration, which do not have warmup and some detailed modifications.

+For distributed training with 32GPUs using `--model DistResnet` we can achieve test accuracy 75.5% after
+90 passes of training (the test accuracy is not shown in below figure).

+### Finetuning for Distributed Training
+
+The default resnet50 distributed training config is based on this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.02677.pdf
+
+- use `--model DistResnet`
+- we use 32 P40 GPUs with 4 Nodes, each have 8 GPUs
+- we set `batch_size=32` for each GPU, in `batch_merge=on` case, we repeat 4 times before communicating with pserver.
+- learning rate start from 0.1 and warm up to 0.4 in 5 passes(because we already have gradient merging,
+  so we only need to linear scale up to trainer count) using 4 nodes.
+- using batch_merge (`--multi_batch_repeat 4`) can make better use of GPU computing power and increase the
+  total training throughput. Because in the fine-tune configuration, we have to use `batch_size=32` per GPU,
+  and recent GPU is so fast that the communication between nodes may delay the total speed. In batch_merge mode
+  we run several batches forward and backward computation, then merge the gradients and send to pserver for
+  optimization, we use different batch norm mean and variance variable in each repeat so that adding repeats
+  behaves the same as adding more GPUs.
+
