training code

#Written by Andrej Karpathy, the following code is placed in a Python file: "train.py"

"""
This training script can be run both on a single gpu in debug mode,
and also in a larger training run with distributed data parallel (ddp).

To run on a single GPU, example:
$ python train.py --batch_size=32 --compile=False

To run with DDP on 4 gpus on 1 node, example:
$ torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=4 train.py

To run with DDP on 4 gpus across 2 nodes, example:
- Run on the first (master) node with example IP 123.456.123.456:
$ torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=0 --master_addr=123.456.123.456 --master_port=1234 train.py
- Run on the worker node:
$ torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=2 --node_rank=1 --master_addr=123.456.123.456 --master_port=1234 train.py

Poor Man's Configurator. Probably a terrible idea. Example usage:

The code in this file will be run as follows from e.g. train.py:
>>> exec(open('configurator.py').read())

So it's not a Python module, it's just shuttling this code away from train.py
The code in this script then overrides the globals()

I know people are not going to love this, I just really dislike configuration
complexity and having to prepend config. to every single variable. If someone
comes up with a better simple Python solution I am all ears.
