Describe

add backward inplace for dygraph

how

In dygraph mode, the forward part is not determined, while the backward computation graph is determined after forward. So the graph optimization can be performed. And, the reference count used to guide inplace optimization can be easily get shared_ptr of input tensor.

Two benefits: (1) reduce d2d copy and speed up training, (2) reduce memory usage

performance

GPT model, speed up +2.8%.
