Description

🚀 Describe the improvement or the new tutorial

📚 The doc issue
Distributed Data Parallel in PyTorch - Video Tutorials - https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/ddp_series_intro.html - ?

The scripts on some of these tutorials are not friendly as it cannot be directly copied pasted to run. We could still show the difference, but we should at least include the copy paste-able version of the running scripts.

Research direction

Start with the linked Distributed Data Parallel in PyTorch video tutorial series and review the tutorial scripts that are not directly runnable. Compare the explanatory snippets with the complete scripts needed for copy-paste execution; the work is done when the relevant running examples can be copied and run as tutorials.
