class FusedLinear1D_Col(ParallelModule):
    r"""Fused Linear layer with column parallelism.

    The linear layer is defined as :math:`Y = XA + b`. A is parallelized along
    its second dimension as :math:`A = [A_1, ..., A_p]`. This layer is used to fit `torch.nn.Linear` layer (Fused QKV) in normal torch layer of huggingface, like SAM.

    Args:
        in_features (int): size of each input sample.
        out_features (int): size of each output sample.
        bias (bool, optional): If set to ``False``, the layer will not learn an additive bias, defaults to ``True``.
        dtype (`torch.dtype`): The dtype of parameters, defaults to None.
        device (`torch.device`): The device of parameters, defaults to None.
        n_fused (int): The number items fused, defaults to 3 (QKV).
        process_group (`torch.distributed.ProcessGroup`): The process group to be used for weight sharding and communication, defaults to None.
        gather_output (bool, optional): If true, call all-gather on output and make Y available
                    to all GPUs, otherwise, every GPU will have its output
                    which is :math:`Y_i = XA_i`, defaults to False
        skip_bias_add (bool): If set to ``True``, it will skip bias add for linear layer,
            which is preserved for kernel fusion, defaults to False
        weight_initializer (`typing.Callable`):
            The initializer of weight, defaults to kaiming uniform initializer.
        bias_initializer (`typing.Callable`):
            The initializer of bias, defaults to xavier uniform initializer.
