1 - adds multi-node training support via a multinode_trainer.slurm file. Verified llama 7b on 20 nodes / 160 A100s.
2 - It also corrects a race condition that can occur on larger scale training in profiling, where the check for the trace dir existence fails for process 1, but in the interim another process 2 makes the directory, and then when process 1 tries to make the dir it errors out as the dir exists.
This is a simple fix of adding exist_ok=True to both of the makedir command (dump folder, trace folder).
