Description

In this link, you have your own SyncBatchNorm. I have two questions about this.

  1. Why did you divide it by inplace, not inplace cases? Do you use both cases in your code?
  2. What's the difference between your "SyncBatchNorm" and "torch.nn.SyncBatchNorm.convert_sync_batchnorm"?

Thanks in advance.

Research direction

Read encoding/nn/syncbn.py at the linked implementation around line 105, then consult PyTorch's torch.nn.SyncBatchNorm.convert_sync_batchnorm documentation. Compare the two implementations and determine how the in-place and non-in-place paths are used in this repository. Done means documenting clear answers to both questions.
