"""
RemoteModule instance can only be created after RPC initialization.
It creates a user-specified module on a specified remote node.
It behaves like a regular ``nn.Module`` except that the ``forward`` method is
executed on the remote node.
It takes care of autograd recording to ensure the backward pass propagates
gradients back to the corresponding remote module.
It can be shared across processors using `RPC framework <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/rpc.html>`__,
without incurring any overheads of copying the actual module,
which is equivalent to an :class:`~torch.distributed.rpc.RRef`
pointing to the remote module.
The arguments of ``forward_async`` and ``forward`` are the same as
the ``forward`` method of the module returned by the ``module_cls``.
Apart from ``forward_async`` and ``forward``, no other methods are supported from nn.Module for now.
Particularly, to create a hybrid model, typically the local modules should be
created outside of remote modules, rather than as submodules of any remote module (by calling ``add_module``).
Hybrid Example:
>>> class HybridModel(nn.Module):
>>> def __init__(self):
>>> nn.Module.__init__(self)
>>> self.remote_embedding = RemoteModule(...)
>>> self.local_linear = nn.Linear(...)
For example, if ``module_cls`` returns an instance of ``nn.Linear``,
that has ``forward`` method signature, ``def forward(input: Tensor) -> Tensor:``,
the generated ``RemoteModule`` will have 2 methods in signature of
``def forward(input: Tensor) -> Tensor:`` and
``def forward_async(input: Tensor) -> Future[Tensor]:``.
.. note::
If the remote module is placed on a cuda device,
any input CPU tensors will be automatically moved to the same cuda device,
and GPU tensors are returned over the wire according to the device map of the remote worker on TensorPipe RPC backend.
Args:
remote_device (str): Device on the destination worker where we'd like to place this module.
The device can be a local device or a remote device specified by one of the following remote
formats:
1. "rank:<rank>/<device>" (ex: "rank:0/cuda:0").
2. "<worker_name>/<device>" (ex: "trainer0/cuda:0").
In addition, the device field can be optional and the default value is "cpu".
module_cls (nn.Module): For example,
>>> class MyModule(nn.Module):
>>> def forward(input):
>>> return input + 1
>>>
>>> module_cls = MyModule
args (Sequence, optional): args to be passed to ``module_cls``.
kwargs (Dict, optional): kwargs to be passed to ``module_cls``.
_module_interface_cls (type, optional): The TorchScript interface type for the module
to be created. The type object should be decorated by @torch.jit.interface.
If not provided, the generated RemoteModule is not torchscript-able.
Warning, this is an experimental API and susceptible to frequent changes.
Returns:
A remote module instance which wraps the :class:`~nn.Module` created by the
user-provided ``module_cls``, it has a blocking ``forward`` method and an
asynchronous ``forward_async`` method that returns a future of the ``forward`` call
on the user-provided module on the remote side.
Example::
Run the following code in two different processes:
>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("distributed")
>>> # On worker 0:
>>> import torch
>>> import torch.distributed.rpc as rpc
>>> from torch import nn, Tensor
>>> from torch.distributed.nn.api.remote_module import RemoteModule
>>>
>>> rpc.init_rpc("worker0", rank=0, world_size=2)
>>> remote_linear_module = RemoteModule(
>>> "worker1/cpu", nn.Linear, args=(20, 30),
>>> )
>>> input = torch.randn(128, 20)
>>> ret_fut = remote_linear_module.forward_async(input)
>>> ret = ret_fut.wait()
>>> rpc.shutdown()
>>> # On worker 1:
>>> import torch
>>> import torch.distributed.rpc as rpc
>>>
>>> rpc.init_rpc("worker1", rank=1, world_size=2)

Besides the constructor, a RemoteModule instance can also be initialized given a module RRef.
This alternate initialization method can be particularly useful if we want to create multiple
RemoteModule instances that share the same underlying module and reduce memory consumption.
Moreover, this also provides a workaround for passing script RemoteModule over RPC,
which is not supported. The recommended way is as follows:
1. the sender creates a RemoteModule;
2. the sender sends its ``module_rref`` over RPC;
3. the receiver calls this method to initialize another RemoteModule using the same ``module_rref``.
