Hi guys, I am currently studying gradient compression for distributed communication reduction. I found that some strategies have been implemented in MXNet, such as Signum and 2bit quantization. However, such methods are implemented at different levels. [Signum](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/python/mxnet/optimizer/signum.py) is an optimizer while [2bit quantization](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/src/kvstore/gradient_compression-inl.h) only works in kvstore. So I am confused what is a best way to implement these gradient compression strategies? How do we determine where (python frontend or kvstore or others) to implement these? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
