Research direction

Start by locating the train/pytorch/cifar-distributed example and inspect train.py around line 132, where init_process_group(backend="nccl") fails. Reproduce the command with the reported Azure ML setup, investigate the NCCL duplicate-GPU warning, and confirm the example completes successfully with one training epoch.
