Contributions summary:Jiayi contributed to the testing of the `envpool` project, adding a new test suite for partial step functionality and benchmark tests. They implemented and tested a partial step functionality within the atari env and added tests for the implemented functionality in `envpool/atari/atari_envpool_test.py`. They also made adjustments to the `state_buffer_queue.h` and `async_envpool.h` files as part of the testing process.
