Refactor and (slightly) generalize step function of the zero redundancy optimizer, by breaking it into the following three high-level steps:
_reduce_gradients
_clip_grad_norm
_update_parameters
This makes it easier to sub-class and override specific behaviors of the zero optimizer in different contexts.
In addition, we introduce an additional optional parameter
sharding_scheme
, which allows us to customize steps 1 and 3 above, if needed.
