…arallel.distributed (pytorch#16010) Summary: - a typo fixed - made the docs consistent with pytorch#5108 And maybe one more change is needed. According to the current docs > The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used **locally**. But shouldn't the batch size be larger than the number of GPUs used **either locally or remotely**? Sadly, I couldn't experiment this with my single GPU.
