    For each factor, all of that factor's cov variables and their associated
    update ops will be placed on a particular device.  A new device is chosen
    for each factor by cycling through list of devices in the
    `self._cov_devices` attribute. If `self._cov_devices` is `Non`e then no
    explicit device placement occurs.

    An analogous strategy is followed for inverse update ops, with the list of
    devices being given by the `self._inv_devices` attribute.

    Inverse variables on the other hand are not placed on any specific device
    (they will just use the current the device placement context, whatever
    that happens to be).  The idea is that the inverse variable belong where
    they will be accessed most often, which is the device that actually applies
    the preconditioner to the gradient. The user will be responsible for setting
    the device context for this.

    Args:
      scope: A string or None.  If None it will be set to the name of this
        estimator (given by the name property). All variables will be created,

        name. (Default: None)
