Description

In deepspeed.utils.timer.py,what is the difference between the below items:
BACKWARD_MICRO_TIMER = 'bwd_microstep' BACKWARD_GLOBAL_TIMER = 'bwd' BACKWARD_INNER_MICRO_TIMER = 'bwd_inner_microstep' BACKWARD_INNER_GLOBAL_TIMER = 'bwd_inner' BACKWARD_REDUCE_MICRO_TIMER = 'bwd_allreduce_microstep' BACKWARD_REDUCE_GLOBAL_TIMER = 'bwd_allreduce'?
