+This is good as a fallback implementation. We can use the ``axpby`` routine
+provided by the Accelerate_ framework for a faster implementation in certain
+cases:
+
+#.  Accelerate does not provide implementations of ``axpby`` for half precision
+    floats. We can only use it for ``float32`` types.
+#.  Accelerate assumes the inputs ``x`` and ``y`` are contiguous and all
+    elements have fixed strides between them. We only direct to Accelerate
+    if both ``x`` and ``y`` are row contiguous or column contiguous.
+#.  Accelerate performs the routine ``Y = (alpha * X) + (beta * Y)`` in-place.
+    MLX expects to write the output to a new array. We must copy the elements
+    of ``y`` into the output and use that as an input to ``axpby``.
+
+Let's write an implementation that uses Accelerate in the right conditions.
+It allocates data for the output, copies ``y`` into it, and then calls the
+:func:`catlas_saxpby` from accelerate.
+
+.. code-block:: C++
+
+    template <typename T>
+    void axpby_impl_accelerate(
+            const array& x,
+            const array& y,
+            array& out,
+            float alpha_,
+            float beta_) {
+        // Accelerate library provides catlas_saxpby which does
+        // Y = (alpha * X) + (beta * Y) in place
+        // To use it, we first copy the data in y over to the output array
+        out.set_data(allocator::malloc_or_wait(out.nbytes()));
+
+        // We then copy over the elements using the contiguous vector specialization
+        copy_inplace(y, out, CopyType::Vector);
+
+        // Get x and y pointers for catlas_saxpby
+        const T* x_ptr = x.data<T>();
+        T* y_ptr = out.data<T>();
+
+        T alpha = static_cast<T>(alpha_);
+        T beta = static_cast<T>(beta_);
+
+        // Call the inplace accelerate operator
+        catlas_saxpby(
+            /* N = */ out.size(),
+            /* ALPHA = */ alpha,
+            /* X = */ x_ptr,
+            /* INCX = */ 1,
+            /* BETA = */ beta,
+            /* Y = */ y_ptr,
+            /* INCY = */ 1);
+    }
+
+For inputs that do not fit the criteria for accelerate, we fall back to
+:meth:`Axpby::eval`. With this in mind, let's finish our
+:meth:`Axpby::eval_cpu`.
+
+.. code-block:: C++
+
+    /** Evaluate primitive on CPU using accelerate specializations */
+    void Axpby::eval_cpu(
+      const std::vector<array>& inputs,
+      const std::vector<array>& outputs) {
+        assert(inputs.size() == 2);
+        auto& x = inputs[0];
+        auto& y = inputs[1];
+        auto& out = outputs[0];
+
+        // Accelerate specialization for contiguous single precision float arrays
+        if (out.dtype() == float32 &&
+            ((x.flags().row_contiguous && y.flags().row_contiguous) ||
+            (x.flags().col_contiguous && y.flags().col_contiguous))) {
+            axpby_impl_accelerate<float>(x, y, out, alpha_, beta_);
+            return;
+        }
+
+        // Fall back to common back-end if specializations are not available
+        eval(inputs, outputs);
+    }
+
 Just this much is enough to run the operation :meth:`axpby` on a CPU stream! If
 you do not plan on running the operation on the GPU or using transforms on
 computation graphs that contain :class:`Axpby`, you can stop implementing the
-primitive here.

-.. code:: python
+To launch the program in distributed mode we need to use ``mpirun`` or

+``mpiexec`` depending on the MPI installation. The simplest possible way is the
-    import mlx.core as mx
+following:
-
-    x = ...
-    world = mx.distributed.init()
-    # No need for the check we can simply do x = mx.distributed.all_sum(x)
-    if world.size() > 1:
-        x = mx.distributed.all_sum(x)
-
-Running Distributed Programs
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-MLX provides ``mlx.launch`` a helper script to launch distributed programs.
-Continuing with our initial example we can run it on localhost with 4 processes using
 
 .. code:: shell
 
-    $ mlx.launch -n 4 my_script.py
+    $ mpirun -np 2 python test.py
-    3 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
+    1 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
-    2 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
+    0 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
-    1 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
-    0 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
 
-We can also run it on some remote hosts by providing their IPs (provided that
+The above launches two processes on the same (local) machine and we can see
-the script exists on all hosts and they are reachable by ssh)
+both standard output streams. The processes send the array of 1s to each other
+and compute the sum which is printed. Launching with ``mpirun -np 4 ...`` would
+print 4 etc.
+
+Installing MPI
+---------------
+
+MPI can be installed with Homebrew, using the Anaconda package manager or
+compiled from source. Most of our testing is done using ``openmpi`` installed
+with the Anaconda package manager as follows:
 
 .. code:: shell
 
-    $ mlx.launch --hosts ip1,ip2,ip3,ip4 my_script.py
+    $ conda install openmpi
-    3 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
-    2 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
-    1 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
-    0 array([4, 4, 4, ..., 4, 4, 4], dtype=float32)
 
-Consult the dedicated :doc:`usage guide<launching_distributed>` for more
+Installing with Homebrew may require specifying the location of ``libmpi.dyld``
-information on using ``mlx.launch``.
+so that MLX can find it and load it at runtime. This can simply be achieved by
+passing the ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable to ``mpirun``.
 
-Selecting Backend
+.. code:: shell
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-You can select the backend you want to use when calling :func:`init` by passing
+    $ mpirun -np 2 -x DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/ python test.py
-one of ``{'any', 'ring', 'mpi', 'nccl'}``. When passing ``any``, MLX will try all
+
-available backends. If they all fail then a singleton group is created.
+Setting up Remote Hosts
+-----------------------
+
+MPI can automatically connect to remote hosts and set up the communication over
+the network if the remote hosts can be accessed via ssh. A good checklist to
+debug connectivity issues is the following:
+
+* ``ssh hostname`` works from all machines to all machines without asking for
+  password or host confirmation
+* ``mpirun`` is accessible on all machines. You can call ``mpirun`` using its
+  full path to force all machines to use a specific path.
+* Ensure that the ``hostname`` used by MPI is the one that you have configured
+  in the ``.ssh/config`` files on all machines.
 
 .. note::
-   After a distributed backend is successfully initialized :func:`init` will
+  For an example hostname ``foo.bar.com`` MPI can use only ``foo`` as
-   return **the same backend** if called without arguments or with backend set to
+  the hostname passed to ssh if the current hostname matches ``*.bar.com``.
-   ``any``.
 
-The following examples aim to clarify the backend initialization logic in MLX:
+An easy way to pass the host names to MPI is using a host file. A host file
+looks like the following, where ``host1`` and ``host2`` should be the fully
+qualified domain names or IPs for these hosts.
 
-.. code:: python
+.. code::
 
-    # Case 1: Initialize MPI regardless if it was possible to initialize the ring backend
+    host1 slots=1
-    world = mx.distributed.init(backend="mpi")
+    host2 slots=1
-    world2 = mx.distributed.init()  # subsequent calls return the MPI backend!
 
-    # Case 2: Initialize any backend
+When using MLX, it is very likely that you want to use 1 slot per host, ie one
-    world = mx.distributed.init(backend="any")  # equivalent to no arguments
+process per host.  The hostfile also needs to contain the current
-    world2 = mx.distributed.init()  # same as above
+host if you want to run on the local host. Passing the host file to
-
+``mpirun`` is simply done using the ``--hostfile`` command line argument.
-    # Case 3: Initialize both backends at the same time
-    world_mpi = mx.distributed.init(backend="mpi")
-    world_ring = mx.distributed.init(backend="ring")
-    world_any = mx.distributed.init()  # same as MPI because it was initialized first!

-Getting Started with MPI
-------------------------
-
-MLX already comes with the ability to "talk" to MPI if it is installed on the
-machine. Launching distributed MLX programs that use MPI can be done with
-``mpirun`` as expected. However, in the following examples we will be using
-``mlx.launch --backend mpi`` which takes care of some nuisances such as setting
-absolute paths for the ``mpirun`` executable and the ``libmpi.dyld`` shared
-library.
-
-The simplest possible usage is the following which, assuming the minimal
-example in the beginning of this page, should result in:
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    $ mlx.launch --backend mpi -n 2 test.py
-    1 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
-    0 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
-
-The above launches two processes on the same (local) machine and we can see
-both standard output streams. The processes send the array of 1s to each other
-and compute the sum which is printed. Launching with ``mlx.launch -n 4 ...`` would
-print 4 etc.
-
-Installing MPI
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-MPI can be installed with Homebrew, pip, using the Anaconda package manager, or
-compiled from source. Most of our testing is done using ``openmpi`` installed
-with the Anaconda package manager as follows:
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    $ conda install conda-forge::openmpi
-
-Installing with Homebrew or pip requires specifying the location of ``libmpi.dyld``
-so that MLX can find it and load it at runtime. This can simply be achieved by
-passing the ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable to ``mpirun`` and it is
-done automatically by ``mlx.launch``. Some environments use a non-standard
-library filename that can be specified using the ``MPI_LIBNAME`` environment
-variable. This is automatically taken care of by ``mlx.launch`` as well.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    $ mpirun -np 2 -x DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/ -x MPI_LIBNAME=libmpi.40.dylib python test.py
-    $ # or simply
-    $ mlx.launch -n 2 test.py
-
-Setting up Remote Hosts
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-MPI can automatically connect to remote hosts and set up the communication over
-the network if the remote hosts can be accessed via ssh. A good checklist to
-debug connectivity issues is the following:
-
-* ``ssh hostname`` works from all machines to all machines without asking for
-  password or host confirmation
-* ``mpirun`` is accessible on all machines.
-* Ensure that the ``hostname`` used by MPI is the one that you have configured
-  in the ``.ssh/config`` files on all machines.
-
-Tuning MPI All Reduce
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.. note::
-
-    For faster all reduce consider using the ring backend either with Thunderbolt
-    connections or over Ethernet.
-
-Configure MPI to use N tcp connections between each host to improve bandwidth
-by passing ``--mca btl_tcp_links N``.
-
-Force MPI to use the most performant network interface by setting ``--mca
-btl_tcp_if_include <iface>`` where ``<iface>`` should be the interface you want
-to use.
-
-Getting Started with Ring
--------------------------
-
-The ring backend does not depend on any third party library so it is always
-available. It uses TCP sockets so the nodes need to be reachable via a network.
-As the name suggests the nodes are connected in a ring which means that rank 1
-can only communicate with rank 0 and rank 2, rank 2 only with rank 1 and rank 3
-and so on and so forth. As a result :func:`send` and :func:`recv` with
-arbitrary sender and receiver is not supported in the ring backend.
-
-Defining a Ring
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The easiest way to define and use a ring is via a JSON hostfile and the
-``mlx.launch`` :doc:`helper script <launching_distributed>`. For each node one
-defines a hostname to ssh into to run commands on this node and one or more IPs
-that this node will listen to for connections.
-
-For example the hostfile below defines a 4 node ring. ``hostname1`` will be
-rank 0, ``hostname2`` rank 1 etc.
-
-.. code:: json
-
-    [
-        {"ssh": "hostname1", "ips": ["123.123.123.1"]},
-        {"ssh": "hostname2", "ips": ["123.123.123.2"]},
-        {"ssh": "hostname3", "ips": ["123.123.123.3"]},
-        {"ssh": "hostname4", "ips": ["123.123.123.4"]}
-    ]
-
-Running ``mlx.launch --hostfile ring-4.json my_script.py`` will ssh into each
-node, run the script which will listen for connections in each of the provided
-IPs. Specifically, ``hostname1`` will connect to ``123.123.123.2`` and accept a
-connection from ``123.123.123.4`` and so on and so forth.
-
-Thunderbolt Ring
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Although the ring backend can have benefits over MPI even for Ethernet, its
-main purpose is to use Thunderbolt rings for higher bandwidth communication.
-Setting up such thunderbolt rings can be done manually, but is a relatively
-tedious process. To simplify this, we provide the utility ``mlx.distributed_config``.
-
-To use ``mlx.distributed_config`` your computers need to be accessible by ssh via
-Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Subsequently, connect them via thunderbolt cables and then call the
-utility as follows:
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-   mlx.distributed_config --verbose --hosts host1,host2,host3,host4
-
-By default the script will attempt to discover the thunderbolt ring and provide
-you with the commands to configure each node as well as the ``hostfile.json``
-to use with ``mlx.launch``. If password-less ``sudo`` is available on the nodes
-then ``--auto-setup`` can be used to configure them automatically.
-
-To validate your connection without configuring anything
-``mlx.distributed_config`` can also plot the ring using DOT format.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-   mlx.distributed_config --verbose --hosts host1,host2,host3,host4 --dot >ring.dot
-   dot -Tpng ring.dot >ring.png
-   open ring.png
-
-If you want to go through the process manually, the steps are as follows:
-
-* Disable the thunderbolt bridge interface
-* For the cable connecting rank ``i`` to rank ``i + 1`` find the interfaces
-  corresponding to that cable in nodes ``i`` and ``i + 1``.
-* Set up a unique subnetwork connecting the two nodes for the corresponding
-  interfaces. For instance if the cable corresponds to ``en2`` on node ``i``
-  and ``en2`` also on node ``i + 1`` then we may assign IPs ``192.168.0.1`` and
-  ``192.168.0.2`` respectively to the two nodes. For more details you can see
-  the commands prepared by the utility script.

-Launching Distributed Programs
-==============================
-

-
-Installing the MLX python package provides a helper script ``mlx.launch`` that
-can be used to run python scripts distributed on several nodes. It allows
-launching using either the MPI backend or the ring backend. See the
-:doc:`distributed docs <distributed>` for the different backends.
-
-Usage
------
-
-The minimal usage example of ``mlx.launch`` is simply
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    mlx.launch --hosts ip1,ip2 my_script.py
-
-or for testing on localhost
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    mlx.launch -n 2 my_script.py
-
-The ``mlx.launch`` command connects to the provided host and launches the input
-script on each host. It monitors each of the launched processes and terminates
-the rest if one of them fails unexpectedly or if ``mlx.launch`` is terminated.
-It also takes care of forwarding the output of each remote process to stdout
-and stderr respectively.
-
-Providing Hosts
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Hosts can be provided as command line arguments, like above, but the way that
-allows to fully define a list of hosts is via a JSON hostfile. The hostfile has
-a very simple schema. It is simply a list of objects that define each host via
-a hostname to ssh to and a list of IPs to utilize for the communication.
-
-.. code:: json
-
-    [
-        {"ssh": "hostname1", "ips": ["123.123.1.1", "123.123.2.1"]},
-        {"ssh": "hostname2", "ips": ["123.123.1.2", "123.123.2.2"]}
-    ]
-
-You can use ``mlx.distributed_config --over ethernet`` to create a hostfile
-with IPs corresponding to the ``en0`` interface.
-
-Setting up Remote Hosts
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In order to be able to launch the script on each host we need to be able to
-connect via ssh. Moreover the input script and python binary need to be on each
-host and on the same path. A good checklist to debug errors is the following:
-
-* ``ssh hostname`` works without asking for password or host confirmation
-* the python binary is available on all hosts at the same path. You can use
-  ``mlx.launch --print-python`` to see what that path is.
-* the script you want to run is available on all hosts at the same path
-
-.. _mpi_specifics:
-
-MPI Specifics
--------------
-
-One can use MPI by passing ``--backend mpi`` to ``mlx.launch``. In that case,
-``mlx.launch`` is a thin wrapper over ``mpirun``. Moreover,
-
-* The IPs in the hostfile are ignored
-* The ssh connectivity requirement is stronger as every node needs to be able
-  to connect to every other node
-* ``mpirun`` needs to be available on every node at the same path
-
-Finally, one can pass arguments to ``mpirun`` using ``--mpi-arg``. For instance
-to choose a specific interface for the byte-transfer-layer of MPI we can call
-``mlx.launch`` as follows:
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    mlx.launch --backend mpi --mpi-arg '--mca btl_tcp_if_include en0' --hostfile hosts.json my_script.py
-
-
-.. _ring_specifics:
-
-Ring Specifics
---------------
-
-The ring backend, which is also the default backend, can be explicitly selected
-with the argument ``--backend ring``. The ring backend has some specific
-requirements and arguments that are different to MPI:
-
-* The argument ``--hosts`` only accepts IPs and not hostnames. If we need to
-  ssh to a hostname that does not correspond to the IP we want to bind to we
-  have to provide a hostfile.
-* ``--starting-port`` defines the port to bind to on the remote hosts.
-  Specifically rank 0 for the first IP will use this port and each subsequent
-  IP or rank will add 1 to this port.
-* ``--connections-per-ip`` allows us to increase the number of connections
-  between neighboring nodes. This corresponds to ``--mca btl_tcp_links 2`` for
-  ``mpirun``.
