Sometimes it is necessary to store tensors as module attributes. However, if they are not parameters they will
remain on the CPU even if the module gets moved to a new device. To prevent that and remain device agnostic,
register the tensor as a buffer in your modules's `__init__` method with :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.register_buffer`.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When running in distributed mode, we have to ensure that the validation and test step logging calls are synchronized across processes.
This is done by adding `sync_dist=True` to all `self.log` calls in the validation and test step.
This is done by adding ``sync_dist=True`` to all ``self.log`` calls in the validation and test step.
This ensures that each GPU worker has the same behaviour when tracking model checkpoints, which is important for later downstream tasks such as testing the best checkpoint across all workers.

``auto_select_gpus=True`` will automatically help you find ``k`` gpus that are not
