    Initializes the default distributed process group, and this will also

    There are 2 main ways to initialize a process group:
        1. Specify ``store``, ``rank``, and ``world_size`` explicitly.
        2. Specify ``init_method`` (a URL string) which indicates where/how
           to discover peers. Optionally specify ``rank`` and ``world_size``,
           or encode all required parameters in the URL and omit them.

    If neither is specified, ``init_method`` is assumed to be "env://".


    Arguments:
        backend (str or Backend): The backend to use. Depending on
            build-time configurations, valid values include ``mpi``, ``gloo``,
            and ``nccl``. This field should be given as a lowercase string
            (e.g., ``"gloo"``), which can also be accessed via
            :class:`Backend` attributes (e.g., ``Backend.GLOO``). If using
            multiple processes per machine with ``nccl`` backend, each process
            must have exclusive access to every GPU it uses, as sharing GPUs
            between processes can result in deadlocks.
        init_method (str, optional): URL specifying how to initialize the
                                     process group. Default is "env://" if no
                                     ``init_method`` or ``store`` is specified.
                                     Mutually exclusive with ``store``.
        world_size (int, optional): Number of processes participating in
                                    the job. Required if ``store`` is specified.
        rank (int, optional): Rank of the current process.
                              Required if ``store`` is specified.
        store(Store, optional): Key/value store accessible to all workers, used
                                to exchange connection/address information.
                                Mutually exclusive with ``init_method``.
        timeout (timedelta, optional): Timeout for operations executed against
            the process group. Default value equals 30 minutes.
            This is applicable for the ``gloo`` backend. For ``nccl``, this is
            applicable only if the environment variable ``NCCL_BLOCKING_WAIT``
            is set to 1.
        group_name (str, optional, deprecated): Group name.

    on a system that supports MPI.

    For example, if the rank 0 node passes [torch.rand(4), torch.rand(2)] and the
    rank 1 node passes [torch.rand(2), torch.rand(2), torch.rand(2)], the
    all_gather_coalesced operation will proceed without complaint and return
    erroneous outputs. This lack of shape checking results in significant
    performance improvements but users of this function should take extra care
    to ensure that each node passes in tensors whose shapes match across nodes.
