"""
This training script can be run both on a single gpu in debug mode,
and also in a larger training run with distributed data parallel (ddp).

To run on a single GPU, example:
$ python train.py --batch_size=32 --compile=False

To run with DDP on 4 gpus on 1 node, example:
$ torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train.py

To run with DDP on 4 gpus across 2 nodes, example:
- Run on the first (master) node:
$ torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=0 --master_addr=123.456.123.456 --master_port=1234 train.py
- Run on the worker node:
$ torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=1 --master_addr=123.456.123.456 --master_port=1234 train.py
