Summary:
This makes barrier and rank operations linear instead of quadratic with the number of workers. This drastically improves performance for rendezvous when running with over 1000 hosts.
This uses 2 approaches for different areas:
* local rank assignment: each worker does 1 set and 1 get, local ranks are assigned on the rank 0 host in a O(n) operation which reduces total store operations to be linear with number of workers.
* exit_barrier: use a counter and a final flag so each worker has to do max 1 set, 1 get and 1 add.
At 4000 hosts we see torchelastic be able to run in as little as 10 seconds down from 373 seconds.
Test Plan:
This is testing using many small tests running on a remote cluster.
