[QUESTION] Why write a special LinearWithFrozenWeight?

[wangbo233]

Your question

Is there any explanation about this? Seems the difference between LinearWithFrozenWeight and LinearWithGradAccumulationAndAsyncCommunication is that LinearWithFrozenWeight does not calculate the gradient of weight. This looks like a performance optimization, but turns out this could cause different results.
