Ping @minitu, looks like you added this support originally -- could you take a look? Thanks |

LGTM, we only looked at adding master weights for FP16 AMP at the time of the original PR. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
looks good but could you add a test case of bfloat16 model with fp32 weights to
apex/tests/L0/run_optimizers/test_adam.py

As mentioned in #1728, the FusedAdam optimizer ignores
master_weights=Truefor bfloat16 parameters. This PR fixes that oversight. I have confirmed that the behavior now matches a "by hand" implementation of master weights (hand-copying) along with vanilla torch.optim.AdamW on the fp32 copy.
