[docs]class context(object): ''' Context object to wrap forward and backward passes when using distributed autograd. The ``context_id`` generated in the ``with`` statement is required to uniquely identify a distributed backward pass on all workers. Each worker stores metadata associated with this ``context_id``, which is required to correctly execute a distributed autograd pass.
