Parameters
----------

The `ServerApp` to be executed. It will send messages to different `ClientApp`
instances running on different (virtual) SuperNodes.
client_app : ClientApp
The `ClientApp` to be executed by each of the SuperNodes. It will receive
messages sent by the `ServerApp`.
num_supernodes : int
Number of nodes that run a ClientApp. They can be sampled by a
Driver in the ServerApp and receive a Message describing what the ClientApp
should perform.
backend_name : str (default: ray)
A simulation backend that runs `ClientApp`s.
backend_config : Optional[Dict[str, ConfigsRecordValues]]
'A dictionary, e.g {"<keyA>": <value>, "<keyB>": <value>} to configure a

enable_tf_gpu_growth : bool (default: False)
A boolean to indicate whether to enable GPU growth on the main thread. This is
desirable if you make use of a TensorFlow model on your `ServerApp` while
having your `ClientApp` running on the same GPU. Without enabling this, you
might encounter an out-of-memory error because TensorFlow, by default, allocates
all GPU memory. Read more about how `tf.config.experimental.set_memory_growth()`
works in the TensorFlow documentation: https://www.tensorflow.org/api/stable.
