"""
This training script can be run both on a single gpu in debug mode,
and also in a larger training run with distributed data parallel (ddp).

To run in debug mode example:
$ python train.py --batch_size=32 --other=args

To run DDP on 4 gpus on one node, example:
$ torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train.py
