 Why Synchronize BN?
 -------------------
 
-- Standard Implementations of BN in public frameworks (suck as Caffe, MXNet, Torch, TF, PyTorch) are unsynchronized, which means that the data are normalized within each GPU. Therefore the `working batch-size` of the BN layer is `BatchSize/nGPU` (batch-size in each GPU).
