        DeviceMesh represents a mesh of devices, where layout of devices could be
        represented as a n-d dimension array, and each value of the n-d dimensional
        array is the global id of the default process group ranks.

        DeviceMesh could be used to setup the N dimensional device connections across the cluster,
        and manage the ProcessGroups for N dimensional parallelisms. Communications could happen on
        each dimension of the DeviceMesh separately. DeviceMesh respects the device that user selects
        already (i.e. if user call `torch.cuda.set_device` before the DeviceMesh initialization),
        and will select/set the device for the current process if user does not set the device
        beforehand. Note that manual device selection should happen BEFORE the DeviceMesh initialization.

        DeviceMesh can also be used as a context manager when using together with DTensor APIs.

        .. note::
            DeviceMesh follows SPMD programming model, which means the same PyTorch Python program
            is running on all processes/ranks in the cluster. Therefore, users need to make sure the
            `mesh` array (which describes the layout of devices) should be identical across all ranks.
            Inconsistent `mesh` will lead to silent hang.

        Args:
            device_type (str): The device type of the mesh. Currently supports: "cpu", "cuda/cuda-like".
            mesh (ndarray): A multi-dimensional array or an integer tensor describing the layout
                of devices, where the IDs are global IDs of the default process group.
            _rank (int): (experimental/internal)
                The global rank of the current process. If not provided, it will
                be inferred from the default process group.

        Returns:
            DeviceMesh: A :class:`DeviceMesh` object representing the device layout.

        The following program runs on each process/rank in an SPMD manner. In this example, we have 2
        hosts with 4 GPUs each.
        A reduction over the first dimension of mesh will reduce across
        columns (0, 4), .. and (3, 7), a reduction over the second dimension
        of mesh reduces across rows (0, 1, 2, 3) and (4, 5, 6, 7).

        Example::

            >>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("no rank")
            >>> from torch.distributed.device_mesh import DeviceMesh
            >>>
            >>> # Initialize device mesh as (2, 4) to represent the topology
            >>> # of cross-host(dim 0), and within-host (dim 1).

            If no process group is found, init_device_mesh will initialize distributed process group/groups
            required for distributed communications behind the scene.

        Args:
            device_type (str): The device type of the mesh. Currently supports: "cpu", "cuda/cuda-like", "xpu".

            mesh_shape (Tuple[int]): A tuple defining the dimensions of the multi-dimensional array
                describing the layout of devices.
            mesh_dim_names (tuple[str, ...], optional): A tuple of mesh dimension names to assign to each dimension
                of the multi-dimensional array describing the layout of devices. Its length must match the length
                of `mesh_shape`. Each string in `mesh_dim_names` must be unique.
            backend_override (Dict[int | str, tuple[str, Options] | str | Options], optional): Overrides for some or all of
                the ProcessGroups that will be created for each mesh dimension. Each key can be either the index of a
                dimension or its name (if mesh_dim_names is provided). Each value can be a tuple containing the name
                of the backend and its options, or just one of these two components (in which case the other will be
                set to its default value).
