Description

I have a plan to distributed training use apex.
but, I am not sure if I need to call "amp.initialize()". I have a pure 32bit float model.
So, I try to use DDP without call "amp.initialize()". Is it possible?

I have seen the examples given on documents, but I could not find any helps.

Research direction

The issue mentions Apex documentation, distributed-training examples, DDP, and amp.initialize(), but names no files or tests. Start by reviewing the distributed-training examples and documentation; done means the supported pure-FP32 DDP path and the role of amp.initialize() are clearly documented.
