//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//                               Node
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// A `Node` is an abstract class that represents an operation taking zero
// or more input `Variable`s and producing zero or more output `Variable`s. All
// functions in PyTorch's autograd machinery derive from this class and
// override its `apply` method. Instances of such subclasses will then be
// invokable via the call operator.
//
//                    Nodes in the Autograd Graph
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// When viewing the autograd system as a graph, `Node`s are the vertices or
// nodes, connected to each other via (directed) `Edge`s, which themselves are
// represented via (`Node`, input_nr) pairs. `Variable`s are the outputs to
// and inputs of `Node`s, and travel between these edges during execution
// of the graph. When two or more `Edge`s (from different sources) point at the
// same input to a `Node`, the values produced along all of these edges are
// implicitly summed prior to being forwarded to the target `Node`.
//
//                              Hierarchy
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// Subclasses usually represent differentiable functions as well as their
// gradient operators. Note, however, that due to the very general definition
// of a `Node` taking *zero* or more inputs and producing *zero* or more
// outputs, uses of `Node`s are flexible and extend beyond purely
// mathematical operations. For example, the `AccumulateGrad` function is a
// *sink*: it takes one input, but produces no outputs, instead accumulating
// the input as a side effect. At the other extreme, the `GraphRoot` function
// receives no inputs from other functions, but produces multiple outputs.
//
//                              Interface
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// The most important method on `Node` is the call operator, which takes in
// a list of variables and produces a list of variables. The precise size of
// these lists can be determined with `num_inputs()` and `num_outputs()`.
// `Node`s are stitched together via their `next_edge` interface, which let
// you manipulate the set of outgoing edges of a `Node`. You can add an
// edge with `add_next_edge()`, retrieve an edge with `next_edge(index)` and
// iterate over them via the `next_edges()` method. Other methods exist for
// integration with the JIT and other parts of PyTorch. Every `Node` has a
// *sequence number* that increases monotonically in the order of `Node`
// construction. It can be retrieved via the `sequence_nr()` method. Note that
// this sequence number is *thread local*. This means that when `Node`s
// `A`, `B` and `C` are created consecutively in the same thread, their
// sequence numbers will be ordered `A` < `B` < `C`. If, however, `A` and `B`
// are created in one thread and `C` is created in a new thread, there are *no
// guarantees* w.r.t. the ordering of `C` relative to `A` or `B`.
// See NOTE [ Sequence Number] for more details on the usages of sequence
// number.

  //
  // The topological order number of this `Node` representing the length of the

  // node, aka AccumulateGrad, this will be zero. This value has the property
  // that For every pair of nodes X, Y in G, existence of a directed path from X
  // to Y implies topo_nr(X) > topo_nr(Y). The converse is not true, however, so
  // we cannot prove existence of a path from X to Y, only non-existence.
  //
  // One assumption we make when using topo_nr is that once a node

  // 1. User should lock the mutex during Node::release_variables() if the Node
  // needs
  //    to release the variables on the fly, this serve the purpose that when we
  //    release saved_variables from one thread, no other threads can release
  //    the saved variables concurrently. call the Node::apply(),
  // 2. User should lock the mutex during Node::apply(), this is to ensure Node
  // that
  //    writing to the shared variable are not racing across threads (i.e.
  //    AccumulateGrad and custom C++ Autograd Node if writing to shared
  //    variables )
  // 3. item 2 and item 3 should work together so that when we release saved
  // variables
  //    from one thread, no other threads can call Node::apply(), this ensures
  //    the variable references from other threads aren't dangling.
  // 4. if the Node don't release any variables and no shared data read/write in
  // the Node
  //    i.e. purely functional, user don't need to lock the mutex
  //
  // This way we could protect the thread safety on Autograd Node, but we could
  // still not protect the thread safety on Node pre/post C++ hooks (python
  // hooks are automatically thread safe), we rely on the user to write thread
  // safe C++ hooks if they want the hook to be correctly applied in
  // multithreading environment.
