1//! Multi-Node Distributed Training Support
2//!
3//! This module provides infrastructure for distributed training across
4//! multiple nodes using MPI communication backend. It integrates with
5//! the existing ZeRO optimization for memory-efficient multi-node training.
6
7// reason: research-stage module — reserved API/scaffolding fields and methods
8// retained intentionally for in-progress features; not yet on active call paths.
