<p><strong>Deployment:</strong></p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>(Not needed for the C10d backend) Start the rendezvous backend server and get the endpoint (to be
passed as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--rdzv_endpoint</span></code> to the launcher script)</p></li>
<li><p>Single-node multi-worker: Start the launcher on the host to start the agent process which
creates and monitors a local worker group.</p></li>
<li><p>Multi-node multi-worker: Start the launcher with the same arguments on all the nodes
participating in training.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>When using a job/cluster manager the entry point command to the multi-node job should be this
launcher.</p>
<p><strong>Failure Modes:</strong></p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Worker failure: For a training job with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">n</span></code> workers, if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">k&lt;=n</span></code> workers fail all workers
are stopped and restarted up to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">max_restarts</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Agent failure: An agent failure results in a local worker group failure. It is up to the job
manager to fail the entire job (gang semantics) or attempt to replace the node. Both behaviors
are supported by the agent.</p></li>
<li><p>Node failure: Same as agent failure.</p></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Membership Changes:</strong></p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Node departure (scale-down): The agent is notified of the departure, all existing workers are
stopped, a new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">WorkerGroup</span></code> is formed, and all workers are started with a new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RANK</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">WORLD_SIZE</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Node arrival (scale-up): The new node is admitted to the job, all existing workers are stopped,
a new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">WorkerGroup</span></code> is formed, and all workers are started with a new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RANK</span></code> and
