Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying the single-GPU and distributed training paths in Apex, then run comparable benchmarks for Python-only and compiled C++/CUDA configurations. Done means documenting whether the performance boost is equivalent and explaining any measured difference.
