*   `tf.distribute`:
    *   Support added for global sync `BatchNormalization` by using the newly
        added `tf.keras.layers.experimental.SyncBatchNormalization` layer. This

        replicas taking part in sync training.
    *   Performance improvements for GPU multi-worker distributed training using
