Description

Thx project!
I used Pipeline Parallelism mode,and My model loss has convergenced.
But when I used model_engine.save_checkpoint(). This saved model is not has trained!(acc1 is 0.1% acc5 is 0.5%, It is random parameter)
So,I want to confirm the Pipeline Parallelism's save_checkpoint can correct the Pipeline Parallelism model?
Thx again

Start with the Pipeline Parallelism workflow and the model_engine.save_checkpoint() entry point described in the report. Reproduce the save and restore process, then verify that the restored model retains the trained accuracy rather than random-parameter results.
