 *  `workdir` is the path that stores all artifacts of one experiment, like checkpoints, samples, and evaluation results.
 
 * `mode` is  "train". When set to "train", it starts the training of a new model, or resumes the training of an old model if its meta-checkpoints (for resuming running after pre-emption in a cloud environment) exist in `workdir/checkpoints-meta` .

   These functionalities can be configured through config files, or more conveniently, through the command-line support of the `ml_collections` package. For example, to generate samples and evaluate sample quality, supply the  `--config.eval.enable_sampling` flag; to compute log-likelihoods, supply the `--config.eval.enable_bpd` flag, and specify `--config.eval.dataset=train/test` to indicate whether to compute the likelihoods on the training or test dataset.
