Sometimes we want to ensure a fixed
total_batch_size.Generally,
local_batch_sizeis fixed, and we can adjustaccumulation_stepsbased onreplica_world_sizeto maintain a fixedtotal_batch_size.However, sometimes
replica_world_sizecannot guarantee an integeraccumulation_steps. For example, iflocal_batch_size = 4andtotal_batch_size = 16, andreplica_world_sizeis 3, it's difficult to assign a positive integer value toaccumulation_steps. We can avoid this problem if we can restrict thereplica_world_sizeto certain specific values. For example, in this case, ifexpected_replicas = 1, 2, 4, then the correspondingaccumulation_stepswill be4,2,1, thus solving the problem.
