# Inspired by https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex/blob/master/apex/transformer/tensor_parallel/cross_entropy.py
# But we make it much faster: we compute the local loss and the LSE, and by exchanging the LSE and
# the losses we can get the global loss. There's no need to do it step by step
# (compute local max, exchange, compute exp, compute local sum, exchange, etc.)
# The original xentropy interface is here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex/blob/master/apex/contrib/xentropy/softmax_xentropy.py
