Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
I cant get the IP for each node before I started the training. The GPUs are allocated when you are starting a task, so I can't set the hostfile before. Can I use the multi-nodes training just like torch did? Just pass the master_addr and master_port?

Research direction

Start by reviewing DeepSpeed's existing multi-node training and hostfile workflow, then compare it with the torch-style master_addr and master_port request. Done would mean a documented or implemented way to launch multi-node training without knowing node IPs before GPU allocation.
