Args: name (str): a globally unique name of this node. (e.g., ``Trainer3``, ``ParameterServer2``, ``Master``, ``Worker1``) Name can only contain number, alphabet, underscore, colon, and/or dash, and must be shorter than 128 characters. backend (BackendType, optional): The type of RPC backend implementation. Supported values is ``BackendType.TENSORPIPE`` (the default). See :ref:`rpc-backends` for more information. rank (int): a globally unique id/rank of this node. world_size (int): The number of workers in the group. rpc_backend_options (RpcBackendOptions, optional): The options passed to the RpcAgent constructor. It must be an agent-specific subclass of :class:`~torch.distributed.rpc.RpcBackendOptions` and contains agent-specific initialization configurations. By default, for all agents, it sets the default timeout to 60 seconds and performs the rendezvous with an underlying process group initialized using ``init_method = "env://"``, meaning that environment variables ``MASTER_ADDR`` and ``MASTER_PORT`` need to be set properly.
