This pull request contains a version of Schedule-Free AdamW that makes use of the batch-norm fixes made after the competition deadline, and which follows the published version of Schedule-Free in a few small details for consistency.
I have also included a weighted dual-averaging version of Schedule-Free in the external tuning track, which shows improved convergence over the unweighted version on some workloads, particularly ViT.
This version is intended for the on-going public leaderboard that has been discussed in the workgroup meetings, and is designed for the original competition V100 hardware.
Note that the external-tuning track ResNet50 runs only just barely hit the baseline depending on the random seed, so there may be some non-determinism there.
