Multi-GPUS support

[MlWoo]

Many friends seem very to be interested in multi-gpus support when training the model. Maybe it is necessary to merge the branch into the master one.

@begeekmyfriend I have not modified the relative code in terms of the pattern.

@Rayhane-mamah Yes I agree. In multi-gpu mode we can set r=1 and expand the batch size to obtain smooth gradient. So please consider it as another branch.

[Rayhane-mamah]

Yes it seems like people are requesting that. :) well, your multi-gpu attempt @MlWoo is sure much helpful. Since the model content has been changed since you made this implementation, I will need to make few updates here and there, but yeah, I will probably make a new branch for both Wavenet and Tacotron multi-gpu or add those directly on master with optional use or something. (I don't like 4 spaces though hahaha..).

In the meantime, I am leaving this PR open in here so that people can quickly refer to a good multi-gpu implementation :)

Thanks for all your contributions @MlWoo and @begeekmyfriend ;)

When I try to use this Fork as it is, I run into the following:

ValueError: Cannot feed value of shape (48, 408, 1025) for Tensor 'datafeeder/linear_targets:0', which has shape '(?, ?, 513)'

What could be the cause of this? I preprocessed LJSpeech with the given hyperparameters btw.

@tomse-h I have not modified the relative code in terms of the linear pattern. You can complete it with the solution of mel features

I might be a bit late into this conversation, but did you guys also see a proportional increase in sec/step when using multiple GPUs? Here are my stats on V100 GPUs with outputs_per_step = 16
#GPU----batchsize----sec/step
1.................32......................~4
2.................64.....................~10
3.................96 ....................~15
4.................128....................~19

@shaktikshri No, it increases but does scale linearly. You would better check the time of loading data and the unbalance of length of data of each device.
