…yout is pin
In PyTorch/XLA we need to pin all layouts for cross-core-communciation ops since program is built separately for every core. However there is not an easy way to pin the layout for
all-gather
on TPU. In this pr I changed theall-gather
is to useall-reduce
when user actually wants to pin the layout. I also changed thelayout-pinning
toTrue
by defualt. It was set to False because I can't pinall-gather
.@hjm-aws I am guessing you guys still prefer to use
all_gather
directly so I set thepin_layout
to False for all xla_process_group. Let me know if that works for you.FYI @hjm-aws @ronghanghu
