Compiled Autograd is an extension to torch.compile which enhances the autograd engine by capturing a larger backward computation graph at runtime. This allows a more comprehensive optimization of the backward pass during training. Overall, 5-20% speedup is expected in backward-heavy workloads with stable graphs. Disabled by default, the feature can be enabled from a user script by setting 'compiled_autograd_enabled=True' when invoking the engine's 'compile' method.

@deepcharm Thanks for the patch! Compiled autograd is not compatible with DeepCompile today as it will override the backward graph to which DeepCompile has inserted ZeRO ops. Having both enabled causes a Would you please warn the user and unset |

@eternalNight Thank you for the good catch! Updated the code per your request. Please let me know if that works. |
