Fix bug with CollNet
Fix bug with zero-bytes send/recv operations
Fix NCCL_PARAM implementation to avoid taking a lock on every call
Fix bug when setting NCCL_IB_QPS_PER_CONNECTION to more than one.
Improve error reporting for network errors.
Add network communication through another GPU connected with NVLink
(PXN).
Add aggregation of messages coming from different local GPUs through
PXN and going to the same destination.
Add new v5 plugin API with grouped receives and tags.
Add compat for v4 plugins.
Add naming of NCCL threads to help debugging.
Fix NVLink detection and avoid data corruption when some NVLinks are
down.
Add support for Relaxed Ordering for IB.
Add profiling and timing infrastructure.
Add new API for creating a reduction operation which multiplies the input by a rank-specific scalar before doing an inter-rank summation (see: ncclRedOpCreatePreMulSum).
Improve CollNet (SHARP) performance of ncclAllReduce when captured in a CUDA Graph via user buffer registration.
Add environment variable NCCL_NET_PLUGIN="<suffix>" to allow user to choose among multiple NCCL net plugins by substituting into "libnccl-net-<suffix>.so".
Fix memory leak of NVB connections.
Fix topology detection of IB Virtual Functions (SR-IOV).
Optimization for Tree allreduce on A100.
Improve aggregation performance.
Use shared buffers for inter-node send/recv.
Add NVTX profiling hooks.
Accelerate alltoall connections by merging communication for all
channels.
Add support for one hop communication through NVLink, for faster
send/recv communication on cubemesh topologies like DGX-1.
Improve alltoall scheduling to better balance intra/inter node
communication.
Increase send/recv parallelism by 8x, each warp sending or
receiving to a different peer.
Net: move to v4.
Net: make flush operation asynchronous to accelerate alltoall.
Net: define maximum number of requests.
Fix hang when using LL128 protocol after 2^31 steps.
Fix#379 : topology injection failing when using less GPUs than
described in the XML.
Fix#394 : protocol mismatch causing hangs or crashes when using
one GPU per node.
Introducing 3 new APIs:
ncclResult_t ncclGather(const void* sendbuff, void* recvbuff, size_t sendcount,
ncclDataType_t datatype, int root, ncclComm_t comm, hipStream_t stream);
ncclResult_t ncclScatter(const void* sendbuff, void* recvbuff,
size_t recvcount, ncclDataType_t datatype, int root, ncclComm_t comm,
hipStream_t stream);
ncclResult_t ncclAllToAll(const void* sendbuff, void* recvbuff, size_t count,
ncclDataType_t datatype, ncclComm_t comm, hipStream_t stream);
Only out of place operation is supported.
Preprocessor symbol RCCL_GATHER_SCATTER=1 indicates API availibility.
By default the APIs launche RCCL kernel implementation, which can be disabled by
RCCL_ALLTOALL_KERNEL_DISABLE=1. Then the APIs use wrapper around ncclSend and ncclRecv.
Added detection of IBM/Power NVLink bridge device.
Add NUMA support to PCI distance calculations.
Added NCCL_IGNORE_CPU_AFFINITY env var.
