"""Distributed MNIST training and validation, with model replicas.

A simple softmax model with one hidden layer is defined. The parameters
(weights and biases) are located on two parameter servers (ps), while the
ops are defined on a worker node. The TF sessions also run on the worker
node.
Multiple invocations of this script can be done in parallel, with different
values for --task_index. There should be exactly one invocation with
--task_index, which will create a master session that carries out variable
initialization. The other, non-master, sessions will wait for the master
session to finish the initialization before proceeding to the training stage.

The coordination between the multiple worker invocations occurs due to
the definition of the parameters on the same ps devices. The parameter updates
from one worker is visible to all other workers. As such, the workers can
perform forward computation and gradient calculation in parallel, which
should lead to increased training speed for the simple model.
