 We introduce an efficient implementation of Adam optimizer on CPU that improves the parameter-update
 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. We use the AVX SIMD instructions on Intel-x86 architecture
 for the CPU-Adam implementation. We support both AVX-512 and AVX-2 instruction sets. DeepSpeed uses

 1 to 10 billion parameters with respect to torch-adam.
