+# Design Doc: Distributed Training Architecture
+
+## Abstract
+
+PaddlePaddle v0.10.0 uses the "trainer-parameter server"
+architecture. We run multiple replicated instances of trainers (runs
+the same code written by the user) and parameter servers for
+distributed training. This architecture served us well, but has some
+limitations:
+
+1. Need to write special code to handle tasks which should only be run
+  by a single trainer. E.g., initializing model and saving model.
+
+2. Model parallelism is hard: need to write if-else branches conditioned
+  on the trainer ID to partition model onto each trainer, and manually
+  write the inter-model-shard communication code.
+
+3. The user can not directly specify the parameter update rule: need
+   to modify the parameter server C++ code and compile a new
+   binary. This adds complication for researchers: A lot of extra
+   effort is required. Besides, the training job submission program
+   may not allow running arbitrary binaries.
+
+This design doc discusses PaddlePaddle's new distributed training
+architecture that addresses the above limitations.
+
+## Analysis
+
+We will assume the user writes the trainer program by Python, the same
+analysis holds if the trainer program is written in C++.
+
+### Limitation 1
+
+If we look at the Python code that the user writes, there are two
+kinds of functionalities:
+
+- The training logic such as load / save model and print log.
+- The neural network definition such as the definition of the data
+  layer, the fully connected layer, the cost function and the
+  optimizer.
+
+When we training with PaddlePaddle v0.10.0 distributedly, multiple
+replicated Python instances are running on different nodes: both the
+training logic and the neural network computation is replicated.
+
+The tasks that should only run once all belong to the training logic,
+if we only replicate the neural network computation, but do **not**
+replicate the training logic, the limitation could be solved.
+
+### Limitation 2
+
+Model parallelism means running a single model on multiple nodes by
+partitioning the model onto different nodes and managing the
+inter-model-shard communications.
+
+PaddlePaddle should be able to modify the nerual network computation
+definition to support model parallelism automatically. However, the
+computation is only specified in Python code, and PaddlePaddle can not
+modify Python code.
+
+Just like compiler uses a intermediate representation (IR) so that
+programmer does not need to manually optimize their code in most of
+the cases - the compiler will optimize the IR:
+
+<img src="src/compiler.png"/>
+
+We can have our own IR too: PaddlePaddle can support model parallel by
+converting the IR so the user no longer need to manually do it in
+Python:
+
+<img src="src/paddle-compile.png"/>
+
+The IR for PaddlePaddle after refactor is called `Block`, it specifies
+the computation dependency graph and the variables used in the
+computation.
+
+### Limitation 3
+
+The user can not directly specify the parameter update rule for the
+parameter server because the parameter server does not use the same
+computation definition as the trainer. Instead, the update rule is
+baked in the parameter server. The user can not specify the update
+rule in the same way of specifying the trainer computation.
+
+This could be fixed by making the parameter server run the same
+computation definition as the trainer. For a detailed explanation,
+please
+see
+[Design Doc: Operation Graph Based Parameter Server](./dist_train.md)
+
+## Distributed Training Architecture
+
+The new distributed training architecture can address the above
+limitations. Below is the illustration:
+
+<img src="src/distributed_architecture.png"/>
+
+The architecture includes major components: *PaddlePaddle Python*,
+*PaddlePaddle converter* and *PaddlePaddle runtime*:
+
+### PaddlePaddle Python
+
+PaddlePaddle Python is the Python library that user's Python trainer
+invoke to build the neural network topology, start training, etc.
+
+```Python
+paddle.init()
+input = paddle.op.recordIO("/home/data/mnist.recordio") # file stored on the cluster
+img, label = input[0], input[1]
+hidden = paddle.layer.fc(input=img, size=200, act=paddle.activation.Tanh())
+prediction = paddle.layer.fc(input=img, size=10, act=paddle.activation.Softmax())
+cost = paddle.layer.classification_cost(input=prediction, label=label)
+optimizer = paddle.optimizer.SGD(cost, learning_rate=0.01)
+session = paddle.session.NewRemote(num_trainer=3, num_ps=2, GPU_per_trainer=1)
+for i in range(1000):
+	_, cost_val = session.eval(targets=[cost, optimizer])
+	print cost_val
+```
+
+The code above is a typical Python trainer code, the neural network
+topology is built using helper functions such as
+`paddle.layer.fc`. The training is done by calling `session.eval`
+iteratively.
+
+#### session.eval
+
+As shown in the graph, `session.eval` sends the IR and the evaluation
+inputs/targets to the PaddlePaddle cluster for evaluation. The
+targets can be any variable in the computation graph. When the target
+is the `optimizer` variable, the neural network will be optimized
+once. When the target is the `cost` variable, `session.eval` returns
+the cost value.
+
+The Python `session` is a wrapper of the C++ `Session` class. For more
+information about `Session`, please
+see [Design Doc: Session](./session.md).
+
+### PaddlePaddle Converter
+
+PaddlePaddle converter automatically converts the IR in the request
+(IR and evaluation inputs/targets) from PaddlePaddle Python to new
+partitioned IRs and dispatch the new IRs and evaluation inputs/targets
+to different PaddlePaddle runtimes. Below are the steps:
+
+1. Add `feed` OP that feeds the eval inputs, and `fetch` OP that
+   fetches the eval targets to the IR.
+
+1. Extract a new computation (sub)graph with `feed` and `fetch` OP as
+   the boundary. The runtime does not need to run the OP that is not
+   dependent by the `fetch` OP.
+
+1. Optimizes the computation graph.
+
+1. Place the OPs in the graph onto different devices on different
+   PaddlePaddle runtime according to a placement algorithm and device
+   constraint specified by the user.
+
+1. Partition the graph according to runtime boundaries and add `send` /
+   `recv` OP pair on the runtime boundaries.
+
+1. Dispatch the partitioned graph to different PaddlePaddle runtimes.
+
+1. PaddlePaddle runtimes with the `fetch` OP reports evaluation
+   results back to the converter, the convert reports the evaluation
+   results back to the PaddlePaddle Python.
+   
+The output IRs will be cached to optimize the conversion latency.
+
+
+#### Placement Algorithm
+
+Our first implementation will only support "trainer-parameter server"
+placement: the parameters, initializers, and optimizers are placed on
+the PaddlePaddle runtimes with the parameter server role. And
+everything else will be placed on the PaddlePaddle runtimes with the
+trainer role. This has the same functionality of our
+"trainer-parameter server" architecture of PaddlePaddle v0.10.0, but
+is more general and flexible.
+
+In the future, we will implement the general placement algorithm,
+which makes placements according to the input IR, and a model of
+device computation time and device communication time. Model
+parallelism requires the general placement algorithm.
+
+
+### PaddlePaddle Runtime
+
+The PaddlePaddle runtime owns multiple devices (e.g., CPUs, GPUs) and
+runs the IR. The runtime does not need to do OP placement since it's
+already done by the converter.
+
+
+### Local Training Architecture
+
+The local training architecture will be the same as the distributed
+training architecture, the differences are everything runs locally,
+and there is just one PaddlePaddle runtime:
+
+<img src="src/local_architecture.png"/>
+
+
+### Training Data
+
+In PaddlePaddle v0.10.0, training data is typically read
+with [data reader](../reader/README.md) from Python. This approach is
+no longer efficient when training distributedly since the Python
+process no longer runs on the same node with the trainer processes,
+the Python reader will need to read from the distributed filesystem
+(assuming it has the access) and send to the trainers, doubling the
+network traffic.
+
+When doing distributed training, the user can still use Python data
+reader: the training data are sent with `session.eval`. However should
+be used for debugging purpose only. The users are encouraged to use
+the read data OPs.

+19.  如何调用 infer 接口输出多个layer的预测结果
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 将需要输出的层作为 :code:`paddle.inference.Inference()` 接口的 :code:`output_layer` 参数输入，代码如下：
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    inferer = paddle.inference.Inference(output_layer=[layer1, layer2], parameters=parameters)
+
+* 指定要输出的字段进行输出。以输出 :code:`value` 字段为例，代码如下：
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    out = inferer.infer(input=data_batch, field=["value"])
+
+需要注意的是：
+
+* 如果指定了2个layer作为输出层，实际上需要的输出结果是两个矩阵；
+* 假设第一个layer的输出A是一个 N1 * M1 的矩阵，第二个 Layer 的输出B是一个 N2 * M2 的矩阵；
+* paddle.v2 默认会将A和B 横向拼接，当N1 和 N2 大小不一样时，会报如下的错误：
+
+..      code-block:: python
+
+    ValueError: all the input array dimensions except for the concatenation axis must match exactly
+
+多个层的输出矩阵的高度不一致导致拼接失败，这种情况常常发生在：
+
+* 同时输出序列层和非序列层；
+* 多个输出层处理多个不同长度的序列;
+
+此时可以在调用infer接口时通过设置 :code:`flatten_result=False` , 跳过“拼接”步骤，来解决上面的问题。这时，infer接口的返回值是一个python list:
+
+* list 中元素的个数等于网络中输出层的个数；
+* list 中每个元素是一个layer的输出结果矩阵，类型是numpy的ndarray；
+* 每一个layer输出矩阵的高度，在非序列输入时：等于样本数；序列输入时等于：输入序列中元素的总数；宽度等于配置中layer的size；
+
+20. :code:`paddle.layer.memory` 的参数 :code:`name` 如何使用
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* :code:`paddle.layer.memory` 用于获取特定layer上一时间步的输出，该layer是通过参数 :code:`name` 指定，即，:code:`paddle.layer.memory` 会关联参数 :code:`name` 取值相同的layer，并将该layer上一时间步的输出作为自身当前时间步的输出。
+
+* PaddlePaddle的所有layer都有唯一的name，用户通过参数 :code:`name` 设定，当用户没有显式设定时，PaddlePaddle会自动设定。而 :code:`paddle.layer.memory` 不是真正的layer，其name由参数 :code:`memory_name` 设定，当用户没有显式设定时，PaddlePaddle会自动设定。:code:`paddle.layer.memory` 的参数 :code:`name` 用于指定其要关联的layer，需要用户显式设定。
+
+21. 两种使用 drop_out 的方法有何区别？
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+* 在PaddlePaddle中使用dropout有两种方式
+
+  * 在相应layer的 :code:`layer_atter` 设置 :code:`drop_rate`，以 :code:`paddle.layer.fc` 为例，代码如下：
+
+  ..  code-block:: python
+
+      fc = paddle.layer.fc(input=input, layer_attr=paddle.attr.ExtraLayerAttribute(drop_rate=0.5))
+
+  * 使用 :code:`paddle.layer.dropout`，以 :code:`paddle.layer.fc` 为例，代码如下：
+
+  ..  code-block:: python
+
+      fc = paddle.layer.fc(input=input)
+      drop_fc = paddle.layer.dropout(input=fc, dropout_rate=0.5)
+
+* :code:`paddle.layer.dropout` 实际上使用了 :code:`paddle.layer.add_to`，并在该layer里采用第一种方式设置 :code:`drop_rate` 来使用dropout的。这种方式对内存消耗较大。
+
+* PaddlePaddle在激活函数里实现dropout，而不是在layer里实现。
+
+* :code:`paddle.layer.lstmemory`、:code:`paddle.layer.grumemory`、:code:`paddle.layer.recurrent` 不是通过一般的方式来实现对输出的激活，所以不能采用第一种方式在这几个layer里设置 :code:`drop_rate` 来使用dropout。若要对这几个layer使用dropout，可采用第二种方式，即使用 :code:`paddle.layer.dropout`。
+
+22. 如何设置学习率退火（learning rate annealing）
+------------------------------------------------
+
+在相应的优化算法里设置learning_rate_schedule及相关参数，以使用Adam算法为例，代码如下：
+
+..  code-block:: python
+
+    optimizer = paddle.optimizer.Adam(
+        learning_rate=1e-3,
+        learning_rate_decay_a=0.5,
+        learning_rate_decay_b=0.75,
+        learning_rate_schedule="poly",)
+
+PaddlePaddle目前支持8种learning_rate_schedule，这8种learning_rate_schedule及其对应学习率计算方式如下：
+
+* "constant"
+
+  lr = learning_rate
+
+* "poly"
+
+  lr = learning_rate * pow(1 + learning_rate_decay_a * num_samples_processed, -learning_rate_decay_b)
+
+  其中，num_samples_processed为已训练样本数，下同。
+
+* "caffe_poly"
+
+  lr = learning_rate * pow(1.0 - num_samples_processed / learning_rate_decay_a, learning_rate_decay_b)
+
+* "exp"
+
+  lr = learning_rate * pow(learning_rate_decay_a, num_samples_processed / learning_rate_decay_b)
+
+* "discexp"
+
+  lr = learning_rate * pow(learning_rate_decay_a, floor(num_samples_processed / learning_rate_decay_b))
+
+* "linear"
+
+  lr = max(learning_rate - learning_rate_decay_a * num_samples_processed, learning_rate_decay_b)
+
+* "manual"
+
+  这是一种按已训练样本数分段取值的学习率退火方法。使用该learning_rate_schedule时，用户通过参数 :code:`learning_rate_args` 设置学习率衰减因子分段函数，当前的学习率为所设置 :code:`learning_rate` 与当前的衰减因子的乘积。以使用Adam算法为例，代码如下：
+
+  ..  code-block:: python
+
+      optimizer = paddle.optimizer.Adam(
+          learning_rate=1e-3,
+          learning_rate_schedule="manual",
+          learning_rate_args="1000:1.0,2000:0.9,3000:0.8",)
+
+  在该示例中，当已训练样本数小于等于1000时，学习率为 :code:`1e-3 * 1.0`；当已训练样本数大于1000小于等于2000时，学习率为 :code:`1e-3 * 0.9`；当已训练样本数大于2000时，学习率为 :code:`1e-3 * 0.8`。
+
+* "pass_manual"
+
+  这是一种按已训练pass数分段取值的学习率退火方法。使用该learning_rate_schedule时，用户通过参数 :code:`learning_rate_args` 设置学习率衰减因子分段函数，当前的学习率为所设置 :code:`learning_rate` 与当前的衰减因子的乘积。以使用Adam算法为例，代码如下：
+
+  ..  code-block:: python
+
+      optimizer = paddle.optimizer.Adam(
+          learning_rate=1e-3,
+          learning_rate_schedule="manual",
+          learning_rate_args="1:1.0,2:0.9,3:0.8",)
+
+  在该示例中，当已训练pass数小于等于1时，学习率为 :code:`1e-3 * 1.0`；当已训练pass数大于1小于等于2时，学习率为 :code:`1e-3 * 0.9`；当已训练pass数大于2时，学习率为 :code:`1e-3 * 0.8`。
+
+23. 出现 :code:`Duplicated layer name` 错误怎么办
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+出现该错误的原因一般是用户对不同layer的参数 :code:`name` 设置了相同的取值。遇到该错误时，先找出参数 :code:`name` 取值相同的layer，然后将这些layer的参数 :code:`name` 设置为不同的值。
+
+24. PaddlePaddle 中不同的 recurrent layer 的区别
+--------------------------------------------------
+以LSTM为例，在PaddlePaddle中包含以下 recurrent layer：
+
+* :code:`paddle.layer.lstmemory`
+* :code:`paddle.networks.simple_lstm`
+* :code:`paddle.networks.lstmemory_group`
+* :code:`paddle.networks.bidirectional_lstm`
+
+按照具体实现方式可以归纳为2类：
+
+1. 由 recurrent_group 实现的 recurrent layer：
+
+  * 用户在使用这一类recurrent layer时，可以访问由recurrent unit在一个时间步内计算得到的中间值（例如：hidden states, memory cells等）；
+  * 上述的 :code:`paddle.networks.lstmemory_group` 是这一类的 recurrent layer ；
+
+2. 将recurrent layer作为一个整体来实现：
+
+  * 用户在使用这一类recurrent layer，只能访问它们的输出值；
+  * 上述的 :code:`paddle.networks.lstmemory_group` 、 :code:`paddle.networks.simple_lstm` 和 :code:`paddle.networks.bidirectional_lstm` 属于这一类的实现；
+
+将recurrent layer作为一个整体来实现， 能够针对CPU和GPU的计算做更多优化， 所以相比于recurrent group的实现方式， 第二类 recurrent layer 计算效率更高。 在实际应用中，如果用户不需要访问LSTM的中间变量，而只需要获得recurrent layer计算的输出，我们建议使用第二类实现。
+
+此外，关于LSTM, PaddlePaddle中还包含 :code:`paddle.networks.lstmemory_unit` 这一计算单元：
+
+  * 不同于上述介绍的recurrent layer , :code:`paddle.networks.lstmemory_unit` 定义了LSTM单元在一个时间步内的计算过程，它并不是一个完整的recurrent layer，也不能接收序列数据作为输入；
+  * :code:`paddle.networks.lstmemory_unit` 只能在recurrent_group中作为step function使用；

+## Background
+
+Here are the base types needed. For details, please refer to the design docs.
+
+- `framework::OperatorBase`: Operator (Op)base class.
+- `framework::OpKernel`: Base class for Op computation.
+- `framework::OperatorWithKernel`: Inherited from OperatorBase, describing an operator with computation.
+- `class OpProtoAndCheckerMaker`: Describes an Operator's input, output, attributes and description, mainly used to interface with Python API.
+
+An operator can be differentiated by whether in has kernel methods. An operator with kernel inherits from `OperatorWithKernel` while the ones without inherit from `OperatorBase`. This tutorial focuses on implementing operators with kernels. In short, an operator includes the following information:
+
+
+ Information           | Where is it defined
+--------------  | :----------------------
+OpProtoMake definition  | `.cc`files, Backward Op does not need an OpProtoMake interface.
+Op definition           | `.cc` files
+Kernel implementation       | The kernel methods shared between CPU and GPU are defined in `.h` files. CPU-specific kernels live in `.cc` files, while GPU-specific kernels are implemented in `.cu`files.
+Registering the Op           | Ops are registered in `.cc` files; For Kernel registration, `.cc` files contain the CPU implementation, while `.cu` files contain the GPU implementation.
+
+
+New Operator implementations are added to the list [paddle/operators](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/operators), with file names in the format `*_op.h` (if applicable), `*_op.cc`, `*_op.cu` (if applicable).** The system will use the naming scheme to automatically build operators and their corresponding Python extensions. **
+
+
+Let's take matrix multiplication operator, [MulOp](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/mul_op.cc), as an example to introduce the writing of an Operator with Kernel.
+
+
+## Implementing C++ Types
+
+
+### 1. Defining Class ProtoMaker
+
+Matrix Multiplication can be written as $Out = X * Y$, meaning that the operation consists of two inputs and pne output.
+
+First, define `ProtoMaker` to describe the Operator's input, output, and additional comments:
+
+```cpp
+class MulOpMaker : public framework::OpProtoAndCheckerMaker {
+ public:
+  MulOpMaker(framework::OpProto *proto, framework::OpAttrChecker *op_checker)
+      : OpProtoAndCheckerMaker(proto, op_checker) {
+    AddInput("X", "(Tensor), 2D tensor of size (M x K)");
+    AddInput("Y", "(Tensor), 2D tensor of size (K x N)");
+    AddOutput("Out", "(Tensor), 2D tensor of size (M x N)");
+    AddComment(R"DOC(
+Two Element Mul Operator.
+The equation is: Out = X * Y
+)DOC");
+  }
+};
+```
+
+[`MulOpMaker`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/mul_op.cc#L43)is inherited from`framework::OpProtoAndCheckerMaker`, consisting of 2 variables in the constructor：
+
+   - `framework::OpProto` stores Operator input and variable attribute, used for generating Python API interfaces.
+   - `framework::OpAttrChecker` is used to validate variable attributes.
+
+The constructor utilizes `AddInput`, `AddOutput`, and `AddComment`, so that the corresponding information will be added to `OpProto`.
+
+The code above adds two inputs `X` and `Y` to `MulOp`, an output `Out`, and their corresponding descriptions, in accordance to Paddle's [naming convention](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/name_convention.md).
+
+
+An additional example [`ScaleOp`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/scale_op.cc#L37) is implemented as follows:
+
+```cpp
+template <typename AttrType>
+class ScaleOpMaker : public framework::OpProtoAndCheckerMaker {
+ public:
+  ScaleOpMaker(framework::OpProto *proto, framework::OpAttrChecker *op_checker)
+      : OpProtoAndCheckerMaker(proto, op_checker) {
+    AddInput("X", "The input tensor of scale operator.").NotInGradient();
+    AddOutput("Out", "The output tensor of scale operator.").NotInGradient();
+    AddComment(R"DOC(Scale operator
+The equation is: Out = scale*X
+)DOC");
+    AddAttr<AttrType>("scale", "scale of scale operator.").SetDefault(1.0);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+There are two changes in this example:
+
+- `AddInput("X","...").NotInGradient()` expresses that input `X` is not involved in `ScaleOp`'s corresponding computation. If an input to an operator is not participating in back-propagation, please explicitly set `.NotInGradient()`.
+
+- `AddAttr<AttrType>("scale", "...").SetDefault(1.0);`  adds `scale`constant as an attribute, and sets the default value to 1.0.
+
+
+### 2. Defining Operator
+
+The following code defines the interface for MulOp:
+
+```cpp
+class MulOp : public framework::OperatorWithKernel {
+ public:
+  using framework::OperatorWithKernel::OperatorWithKernel;
+
+ protected:
+  void InferShape(const framework::InferShapeContext &ctx) const override {
+    auto dim0 = ctx.Input<Tensor>("X")->dims();
+    auto dim1 = ctx.Input<Tensor>("Y")->dims();
+    PADDLE_ENFORCE_EQ(dim0.size(), 2,
+                      "input X(%s) should be a tensor with 2 dims, a matrix",
+                      ctx.op_.Input("X"));
+    PADDLE_ENFORCE_EQ(dim1.size(), 2,
+                      "input Y(%s) should be a tensor with 2 dims, a matrix",
+                      ctx.op_.Input("Y"));
+    PADDLE_ENFORCE_EQ(
+        dim0[1], dim1[0],
+        "First matrix's width must be equal with second matrix's height.");
+    ctx.Output<Tensor>("Out")->Resize({dim0[0], dim1[1]});
+  }
+};
+```
+
+[`MulOp`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/mul_op.cc#L22) is inherited from `OperatorWithKernel`. Its `public` member
+
+```cpp
+using framework::OperatorWithKernel::OperatorWithKernel;
+```
+
+expresses an operator constructor using base class `OperatorWithKernel`, alternatively written as
+
+```cpp
+MulOp(const std::string &type, const framework::VariableNameMap &inputs,
+      const framework::VariableNameMap &outputs,
+      const framework::AttributeMap &attrs)
+  : OperatorWithKernel(type, inputs, outputs, attrs) {}
+```
+
+`InferShape` interface needs to be re-written.`InferShape` is a constant method and cannot modify Op's member variables, its constant member `const framework::InferShapeContext &ctx` can be used to extract input, output, and attributes. It functions to
+
+  - 1). validate and error out early: it checks input data dimensions and types.
+  - 2). configures the tensor shape in the output.
+
+Usually `OpProtoMaker` and `Op`'s type definitions are written in `.cc` files, which also include the registration methods introduced later.
+
+### 3. Defining OpKernel
+
+`MulKernel` inherits `framework::OpKernel`, which includes the following templates:
+
+- `typename  Place` denotes device type. When different devices, namely the CPU and the GPU, share the same kernel, this template needs to be added. If they don't share kernels, this must not be added. An example of a non-sharing kernel is [`OnehotCrossEntropyOpKernel`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/cross_entropy_op.h#L43).
+
+- `typename T` denotes data type, such as `float` or `double`.
+
+`MulKernel` types need to rewrite the interface for `Compute`.
+- `Compute` takes one input variable `const framework::ExecutionContext& context`.
+- Compared with `InferShapeContext`, `ExecutionContext` includes device types, and can similarly extract input, output, and attribute variables.
+- `Compute` implements the computation logics of an `OpKernel`.
+
+`MulKernel`'s implementation of `Compute` is as follows:
+
+  ```cpp
+  template <typename Place, typename T>
+  class MulKernel : public framework::OpKernel {
+  public:
+  void Compute(const framework::ExecutionContext& context) const override {
+    auto* X = context.Input<Tensor>("X");
+    auto* Y = context.Input<Tensor>("Y");
+    auto* Z = context.Output<Tensor>("Out");
+    Z->mutable_data<T>(context.GetPlace());
+    auto* device_context =
+        const_cast<platform::DeviceContext*>(context.device_context_);
+    math::matmul<Place, T>(*X, false, *Y, false, 1, Z, 0, device_context);
+  }
+  };
+  ```
+
+Note that **different devices (CPU, GPU)share an Op definition; whether or not they share the same `OpKernel` depends on whether `Compute` calls functions that support both devices.**
+
+`MulOp`'s CPU and GPU share the same `Kernel`. A non-sharing  `OpKernel` example can be seen in [`OnehotCrossEntropyOpKernel`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/cross_entropy_op.h#L43).
+
+To ease the writing of `OpKernel` compute, and for reusing code cross-device, `Eigen unsupported Tensor` module is used to implement `Compute` interface. To learn about how the Eigen library is used in PaddlePaddle, please see [usage document](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/howto/dev/use_eigen_cn.md).
+
+
+This concludes the forward implementation of an operator. Next its operation and kernel need to be registered in a `.cc` file.
+
+The definition of its corresponding backward operator, if applicable, is similar to that of an forward operator. **Note that a backward operator does not include a `ProtoMaker`**.
+
+### 4. Registering Operator
+
+- In `.cc` files, register forward and backward operator classes and the CPU kernel.
+
+    ```cpp
+    namespace ops = paddle::operators;
+    REGISTER_OP(mul, ops::MulOp, ops::MulOpMaker, mul_grad, ops::MulOpGrad);
+    REGISTER_OP_CPU_KERNEL(mul, ops::MulKernel<paddle::platform::CPUPlace, float>);
+    REGISTER_OP_CPU_KERNEL(mul_grad,
+                  ops::MulGradKernel<paddle::platform::CPUPlace, float>);
+    ```
+
+   In that code block,
+
+    - `REGISTER_OP` registers the `ops::MulOp` class, type named `mul`, its type `ProtoMaker` is `ops::MulOpMaker`, registering `ops::MulOpGrad` as `mul_grad`.
+    - `REGISTER_OP_WITHOUT_GRADIENT` registers an operator without gradient.
+    - `REGISTER_OP_CPU_KERNEL` registers `ops::MulKernel` class and specialized template types `paddle::platform::CPUPlace` and `float`, which also registers `ops::MulKernel`.
+
+
+- Registering GPU Kernel in `.cu` files
+    - Note that if GPU Kernel is implemented using the `Eigen unsupported` module, then on top of `.cu`, a macro definition `#define EIGEN_USE_GPU` is needed, such as
+
+    ```cpp
+    // if use Eigen unsupported module before include head files
+    #define EIGEN_USE_GPU
+
+    namespace ops = paddle::operators;
+    REGISTER_OP_GPU_KERNEL(mul, ops::MulKernel<paddle::platform::GPUPlace, float>);
+    REGISTER_OP_GPU_KERNEL(mul_grad,
+                           ops::MulGradKernel<paddle::platform::GPUPlace, float>);
+    ```
+
+### 5. Compilation
+
+Run the following commands to compile.
+
+```
+make mul_op
+```
+
+## Python Binding
+
+The system will automatically bind to Python and link it to a generated library.
+
+## Unit Tests
+
+Unit tests for an operator include
+
+1. comparing a forward operator's implementations on different devices,
+
+2. comparing a backward operator's implementation on different devices, and
+
+3. a scaling test for the backward operator.
+
+Here, we introduce the [unit tests for `MulOp`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/python/paddle/v2/framework/tests/test_mul_op.py).
+
+### Testing Forward Operators
+
+A forward operator unit test inherits `unittest.TestCase` and defines metaclass `__metaclass__ = OpTestMeta`. More concrete tests are performed in `OpTestMeta`. Testing a forward operator requires the following:
+
+1. Defining input, output and relevant attributes in `setUp` method.
+
+2. Generating random input data.
+
+3. Implementing the same computation logic in a Python script:
+
+  ```python
+  import unittest
+  import numpy as np
+  from gradient_checker import GradientChecker, create_op
+  from op_test_util import OpTestMeta
+
+  class TestMulOp(unittest.TestCase):
+      __metaclass__ = OpTestMeta
+
+      def setUp(self):
+          self.type = "mul"
+          self.inputs = {
+              'X': np.random.random((32, 84)).astype("float32"),
+              'Y': np.random.random((84, 100)).astype("float32")
+          }
+          self.outputs = {'Out': np.dot(self.inputs['X'], self.inputs['Y'])}
+  ```
+Get its output, and compare it with the forward operator's own output.
+
+The code above first loads required packages. In addition, we have
+
+- `self.type = "mul" ` defines the type that is identical to what the operator's registered type.
+- `self.inputs` defines input, with type `numpy.array` and initializes it.
+- `self.outputs` defines output and completes the same operator computation in the Python script, and returns its result from the Python script.
+
+### Testing Backward Operators
+
+A backward operator unit test inherits `GradientChecker`, which inherits `unittest.TestCase`. As a result, **a backward operator unit test needs to be have the prefix `test_`**.
+
+```python
+class TestMulGradOp(GradientChecker):
+    def setUp(self):
+        self.op = create_op("mul")
+        self.inputs = {
+            'X': np.random.random((32, 84)).astype("float32"),
+            'Y': np.random.random((84, 100)).astype("float32")
+        }
+
+    def test_cpu_gpu_compare(self):
+        self.compare_grad(self.op, self.inputs)
+
+    def test_normal(self):
+        # mul op will enlarge the relative error
+        self.check_grad(
+            self.op, self.inputs, ["X", "Y"], "Out", max_relative_error=0.5)
+
+    def test_ignore_x(self):
+        self.check_grad(
+            self.op,
+            self.inputs, ["Y"],
+            "Out",
+            max_relative_error=0.5,
+            no_grad_set={"X"})
+
+    def test_ignore_y(self):
+        self.check_grad(
+            self.op,
+            self.inputs, ["X"],
+            "Out",
+            max_relative_error=0.5,
+            no_grad_set={"Y"})
+```
+
+Some key points in the code above include:
+
+- `create_op("mul")` creates the backward operator's corresponding forward operator.
+- `compare_grad` compares results between utilizing the CPU and the GPU.
+- `test_normal` calls `check_grad` to validate scaling tests' correctness and stability through numeric methods.
+  - The first variable `self.op` denotes the forward operator.
+  - The second variable `self.inputs` denotes the input dictionary, which has its key value identical to its `ProtoMaker` definitions.
+  - The third variable `["X", "Y"]` appoints `X` and `Y` to be scale tested.
+  - The fourth variable `"Out"` points to the network's final output target `Out`.
+- `test_ignore_x` and `test_ignore_y`branches test the cases where there is only one scaling input.
+
+### Compiling and Running
+
+
+Any new unit testing file of the format `test_*.py`  added to the director `python/paddle/v2/framework/tests` is automatically added to the project to compile.
+
+Note that **unlike the compile test for Ops, running unit tests requires compiling the entire project** and requires compiling with flag `WITH_TESTING` on i.e. `cmake paddle_dir -DWITH_TESTING=ON`.
+
+After successfully compiling the project, run the following command to run unit tests:
+
+```bash
+make test ARGS="-R test_mul_op -V"
+```
+
+Or,
+
+```bash
+ctest -R test_mul_op
+```
+
+## Remarks
+
+- Every `*_op.h` (if applicable), `*_op.cc`, and `*_op.cu` (if applicable) must be created for a unique Op. Compiling will fail if multiple operators are included per file.
+- The type with which an operator is registered needs to be identical to the Op's name. Registering `REGISTER_OP(B, ...)` in `A_op.cc` will cause unit testing failures.
+- If the operator does not implement a GPU kernel, please refrain from creating an empty `*_op.cu` file, or else unit tests will fail.
+- If multiple operators rely on some shared methods, a file NOT named `*_op.*` can be created to store them, such as `gather.h`.

doc/survey/cluster_bootstrapping_tools.md

+# Cluster bootstrapping tool survey
+## Abstract
+In order to bring up a cluster from bare metal machine to a fully functional kubernetes cluster for Paddlepaddle to run, we need to utilize some tools. Here we are going to compare [Sextant](https://github.com/k8sp/sextant) and [Tectonic installer](https://github.com/coreos/tectonic-installer)
+
+## Basic assumptions
+Here are some basic assumptions before we move on to  details
+1. You are an administrator of a bare metal machine cluster, which means:
+  * you have full control to each of the machines.
+  * you have full control to the network which machines are connected to.
+2. Machines can be booted from network with PEX or iPXE
+3. You understand the [general procedure to bring up a cluster](#appendix-general-procedure-to-bring-up-a-cluster)
+
+if your cluster is able to mark above items with checkmarks, then keep reading.
+
+## Comparing Sextant and Tectonic installer
+### Sextant
+Sextant is an end2end solution to bring up a bare metal cluster to a fully functional k8s cluster, it integrates DHCP, name service, PEX, cloud-config-service, docker registry services altogether. 
+
+#### Pros
+1. End2End: basically all admin need to do is to config the cluster.yaml and power on the cluster.
+2. Offline cluster configuration: Sextant has 2 phases during working with it, config time and deploy time. when admin is configuring, it requires admin's machine has internet connectivity, which will download some images, etc. But in deploy time, it's completely OK to go offline since all dependencies are ready during config time.
+3. docker registry integrated.
+4. GPU machine took care of.
+
+### Cons
+1. k8s API server is not deployed with high availability in considering by default.
+2. No grouping support.
+3. No API interface, a one-off service.
+
+
+### Tectonic installer
+First of all, Tectonic is not free, it requires coreos.com account as a step of installation, and free user can only create less than 10 nodes.
+
+Tectonic is a suite of software which wraps around k8s and providing more utility regarding dev ops, ie, 
+Tectonic installer as it's named, it installs Tectonic to a bare metal cluster which means it's not totally an equivalent of Sextant. At the "booting a cluster" part, it mostly utilizes [Matchbox](https://github.com/coreos/matchbox), which is a general cluster bootstrapper.
+
+Matchbox's Approach is similar to Sexstant.
+
+### Pros
+1. supports grouping machines.
+2. supports running provisioning service in rtk. (not a big deal though).
+3. supports http/gRPC API interface.
+4. supports multi-template.
+
+### Cons
+1. Not an e2e solution to bring up a cluster, need a lot of extra work and other software.
+2. [Not fully supporting](https://github.com/coreos/matchbox/issues/550) centOS deployment yet.
+
+## Conclusion
+Sextant is a better solution overall for paddle cloud deploying to a bare metal cluster. It would be great if Sextant can also 1) deploy k8s api server with high availability by default; 2) not designed as a one-off service.
+
+
+
+## Appendix: General procedure to bring up a cluster
+It's physically impossible for a cluster admin to manually install OS and applications into cluster nodes one by one, here is what an admin would do in cloud industry:
+1. setup a bootstrap machine with static IP in the cluster, which has following services:
+  * DHCP: assigns ip address for rest of the nodes.
+  * name service: to map node name to a IP
+  * PXE related services: the booting related info will be delivered to newly booted machines as their IP is assigned via DHCP service, PXE service will provide further booting and installing info and image with TFTP and http protocol. 
+  * cluster config service: this is for providing cluster node with OS config via http
+  * optional docker registry: a built-in docker registry makes the whole cluster independent from connecting internet, and speeds up software distribution.
+2. New node powers on, it will
+  * broadcast the request for an IP address

 It supports both standard cross-entropy and soft-label cross-entropy loss
 computation.
 1) One-hot cross-entropy:
-    soft_label = False, Label[i, 0] indicates the class index for sample i:
+    softLabel = false, Label[i, 0] indicates the class index for sample i:
 
                 Y[i] = -log(X[i, Label[i]])
 
 2) Soft-label cross-entropy:
-    soft_label = True, Label[i, j] indicates the soft label of class j
+    softLabel = true, Label[i, j] indicates the soft label of class j
     for sample i:
 
                 Y[i] = \sum_j{-Label[i, j] * log(X[i, j])}
