同步和异步训练是由optimizer来决定的。
1. 同步训练
同步训练需要使用SyncReplicasOptimizer，参考https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/train/SyncReplicasOptimizer 。其他optimizer都属于异步训练方式。
同步训练实现在sync_replicas_optimizer.py文件中的def apply_gradient()方法中。假设有n个参数：
对于PS，需要创建n个参数收集器（每个参数对应一个收集器），每一个worker将自己计算得到的grad梯度推送到收集器上（推送是使用Send/Recv OP实现的）。每个参数收集器收集到所有的worker的推送值时，对所有的值求平均，然后更新参数的值。当所有的参数都更新完成之后，对global_step加1，并将global_step推送到每个worker的token_queue中，worker更新global_step，开始下一次训练。
对于Worker，从PS拉取需要的参数，计算grad梯度值，然后将grad推送到相应的参数收集器。推送之后从token_queue中拉取新的global_step（拉取不到新的global_step 就等待？），继续下一次训练。
2. 异步训练
训练代码中使用的是GradientDescentOptimizer（继承了Optimizer），调用其minimize()方法，minimize()方法就是先调用compute_gradients()然后调用apply_gradient()方法。
异步训练的实现在optimizer.py文件中的def apply_gradient()方法中(GradientDescentOptimizer没有重写Optimizer的apply_gradient()方法)。参考https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43147435/how-does-asynchronous-training-work-in-distributed-tensorflow。
对于Worker，worker从PS拉取需要的参数，拉取过程是没有锁的，因此拉取的值可能包含了其他worker的修改，也可能没包含。计算gard梯度值，然后将grad梯度值发送给相应PS。
对于PS，ps收到grad值之后根据优化算法(如，SGD, SGD with Momentum, Adagrad, Adam, etc.)来更新参数。
注：在异步训练中，假设worker1读取参数w1，worker2再读取参数w1，然后worker1更新梯度，worker2再更新梯度，worker1更新的梯度就被worker2覆盖掉了。如果想对修改做同步，GradientDescentOptimizer的构造函数提供了use_locking参数。
代码逻辑如下：
def apply_gradients(self, grads_and_vars, global_step=None, name=None):
"""Apply gradients to variables.
This is the second part of `minimize()`. It returns an `Operation` that
applies gradients.
Args:
grads_and_vars: List of (gradient, variable) pairs as returned by
`compute_gradients()`.
global_step: Optional `Variable` to increment by one after the
variables have been updated.
name: Optional name for the returned operation. Default to the
name passed to the `Optimizer` constructor.
Returns:
An `Operation` that applies the specified gradients. If `global_step`
was not None, that operation also increments `global_step`.
