   I understand it reduces speed, but it also reduces my accuracy, which makes 
me really confused.
   
   > The SyncBN does reduce the speed due to synchronization for every BN layer 
during both forward and backward. Use it only when it is necessary, especially 
on computation intensive task such as semantic segmentation or object detection 
where the synchronization is not a huge bottleneck comparing to the computation.
   
   Thanks for the reply, I understand it reduces the speed as I observed, but 
it also reduces the accuracy from a pretrained se-net. I wonder whether you 
have tried it using symbol API ?  Thanks
