Description
Hi, I want to run one LLM model using multiple machines.
On one node, I want to use tensor parallel to speedup.
Within multiple nodes, I want to use pipeline parallel.
Is this supported? If so, is there any documentation? I didn't find it.
If not, any documentation for inference using multiple nodes?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by checking the existing DeepSpeed inference documentation for tensor parallelism within a node and pipeline parallelism across nodes; determine whether multi-node inference is supported and document the supported configuration or the missing capability.
