This PR is part of the effort to improve Deepspeed performance when using PyTorch compile.
There is a known bug in torch.compile which causes a graph break when an inner class is defined within
a method that is being compiled. The following would then appear in the log:
[__graph_breaks] torch._dynamo.exc.Unsupported: missing: LOAD_BUILD_CLASS
This is the case with the inner classes
PreBackwardFunctionForModule
andPostBackwardFunctionModule
.While there is an open PyTorch PR#133805 for this, we can solve the issue by moving the inner classes into the initialization code.
No graph breaks and the corresponding logs are produced anymore.
