TensorFlow分布式并行基于gRPC通信框架，一个master负责创建Session，多个worker负责执行计算图任务。
先创建TensorFlow Cluster对象，包含一组task(每个task一台独立机器)，分布式执行TensorFlow计算图。一个Cluster切分多个job，一个job是一类特定任务(parameter server ps,worker)，每个job可以包含多个task。每个task创建一个server，连接到Cluster，每个task执行在不同机器。也可以一台机器执行多个task(不同GPU)。tf.train.ClusterSpec初始化Cluster对象，初始化信息是Python dict，tf.train.ClusterSpec({"ps":["192.168.233.201:2222"],"worker":["192.168.233.202:2222","192.168.233.203:2222"]})，代表一个parameter server和两个worker，分别在三个不同机器上。每个task，定义自己身份，如server=tf.train.Server(cluster,job_name="ps",task_index=0)，机器job定义ps第0台机器。程序中with tf.device("/job:worker/task:7")，限定Variable存放在哪个task或机器。
TensorFlow分布式模式：In-graph replication模型并行，模型计算图不同部分放在不同机器执行；Between-graph replication数据并行，每台机器相同计算图，计算不同batch数据。异步并行，每台机器独立计算梯度，计算完更新到parameter server，不等其他机器。同步并行，等所有机器都完成梯度计算，多个梯度合成统一更新模型参数。同步并行训练，loss下降速度更快，可达到最大精度更高，同步并行速度取决最慢机器，设备速度一致，效率较高。
TensorFlow实现包含1个paramter server、2个worker分布式并行训练程序，MNIST手写数据识别任务示例。写一个完整Python文件，在不同机器不同task执行。载入依赖库。
tf.app.flags定义标记，命令行执行TensorFlow设置参数。命令行指定参数被TensorFlow读取，转flags。设定数据储存目录data_dir默认/tmp/mnist-data，隐藏节点数默认100,训练最大步数train_steps默认1000000,batch_size默认100,学习速率默认0.01。
设定是否使用同步并行标记sync_replicas默认False，命令行执行时可设True开户同步并行。设定需要累计梯度个数更新模型值默认None，代表同步并行积累多少个batch梯度再进行参数更新，设None 为worker数量，所有worker完成一个batch训练后再更新模型参数。
定义ps地址，默认192.168.233.201:2222,根据集群实际情况配置。worker地址设置192.168.233.202:2222和192.168.233.203:2222.设置job_name和task_index FLAG。
flags.FLAGS直接命名FLAGS，简化使用。设置图片尺寸IMAGE_PIXELS 28。
编写程序主函数main，input_data.read_data_sets下载读取MNIST数据集，设置one_hot编码格式。检测命令行输入参数，确保job_name和task_index两个必备参数。显示job_name和task_index，ps、worker所有地址解析成列表ps_spec、worker_spec。
计算总共worker数量，tf.train.ClusterSpec生成TensorFlow Cluster对象，传入参数ps地址信息和worker地址信息。tf.train.Server创建当前机器server，连接Cluster。如当前节点是parameter server，不进行后续操作，server.join等待worker工作。
判断当前机器是否主节点，task_index是否0。定义当前机器worker_device，格式"job:worker/task:0/gpu:0"。多台机器，每台机器1块GPU，总共需要机器数量worker。如一台机器多GPU，一个task管理多个GPU或多个task分别管理。tf.train.replica_device_setter()设置worker资源，worker_device计算资源，ps_device存储模型参数资源。replica_device_setter将模型参数部署在独立ps服务器"/job:ps/cpu:0"，训练操作部署在"/job:worker/task:0/gpu:0"，本机GPU。创建记录全局训练步数变量global_step。
定义神经网络模型，tf.truncated_normal初始化权重，tf.zeros初始化偏置，创建输入 placeholder，tf.nn.xw_plus_b输入矩阵乘法、偏置操作，ReLU激活函数处理，得到第一个隐层输出hid。tf.nn.xw_plus_b、tf.nn.softmax对第一层输出hid处理，得到网络最终输出y。最后计算损失cross_entropy，定义优化器Adam。
判断是否设置同步训练模式sync_replicas，如果同步模型，先获取同步更新模型参数需要副本数replicas_to_aggregate;如果没有单独设置，worker数作默认值。tf.train.SyncReplicasOptimizer创建同步训练优化器，对原有优化器扩展。传入原有优化器及其他参数(replicas_to_aggregate、total_num_replicas、replica_id)，原有优化器改造为同步分布式训练版本。用普通(异步)或同步优化器优化损失cross_entropy。
同步训练模式，主节点，opt.get_chief_queue_runner创建队列执行器，opt.get_init_tokens_op创建全局参数初始化器。
生成本地参数初始化操作init_op，创建临时训练目录，tf.train_Supervisor创建分布式训练监督器，传入参数is_chief、train_dir、init_op。Supervisor管理task参与到分布式训练。
设置Session参数，allow_soft_placement设True，代表操作在指定device不能执行时转到其他device执行。
如果主节点，显示初始化Session，其他节点显示等待主节点初始化操作。执行sv.prepate_or_wait_for_session()。
如果处于同步模型主节点，sv.start_queue_runners执行队列化执行器chief_queue_runner，执行全局参数初始化器init_tokens_op。
训练过程，记录worker执行训练启动时间，初始化本地训练步数local_step，进入训练循环。每步训练，从nnist.train.next_batch读取一个batch数据，生成feed_dict，调train_step执行训练。当全局训练步数达到预设最大值，停止训练。
训练结束，展示总训练时间，在验证数据上计算预测结果损失cross_entropy，展示。
在主程序执行tf.app.run()启动main函数，全部代码保存到distributed.py文件。3台不同机器分别执行distributed.py启动3个task，每次执行distributed.py，传入job_name、task_index指定worker身份。
分别在三台机器192.168.233.201?192.168.233.202、192.168.233.203执行python distributed.py。
同步模式，加上--sync_replicas=True。global_step，异步时，全局步数是所有worker训练步数和，同步时是多少轮并行训练。
