+"""vLLM distributed state.
+It takes over the control of the distributed environment from PyTorch.
+The typical workflow is:
+
+- call `init_distributed_environment` to initialize the distributed environment.
+- call `initialize_model_parallel` or `ensure_model_parallel_initialized` to
+ initialize the model parallel groups.
+
+- any code dealing with the distributed stuff
+
+- call `destroy_model_parallel` to destroy the model parallel groups.
+- call `destroy_distributed_environment` to destroy the distributed environment.
+
+If you only need to use the distributed environment without model/pipeline
+ parallelism, you can skip the model parallel initialization and destruction
+ steps.
