The VPP schedule.
See https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.04473 for details.
Will perform one forward and one backward on the microbatches in steady
state and supports multiple stages per rank. When microbatches are ready for
multiple local stages, VPP prioritizes the earlier microbatch
(also called "depth first").
This schedule is mostly similar to the original paper.
It differs by being relaxing the requirement of num_microbatch % pp_size == 0.
Using the flex_pp schedule, we will have num_rounds = max(1, n_microbatches // pp_group_size) and
it works as long as n_microbatches % num_rounds is 0. As a few examples, support
1. pp_group_size = 4, n_microbatches = 10. We will have num_rounds = 2 and n_microbatches % 2 is 0.
2. pp_group_size = 4, n_microbatches = 3. We will have num_rounds = 1 and n_microbatches % 1 is 0.
