Summary:
1. remove the noinline attribute for AllReduceThreeKernel;
2. change AUTPUNROLL for tree functions to 1 or 2;
Combining 1 and 2 will reduce the scratch usage from 1256 to 952
Added detection of IBM/Power NVLink bridge device.
Add NUMA support to PCI distance calculations.
Added NCCL_IGNORE_CPU_AFFINITY env var.
Fix memory leaks; GithubIssue#180
Compiler warning fix; GithubIssue#178
Replace non-standard variable length arrays. GithubIssue#171
Fix Tree+Shared Memory crash. GithubPR#185
Fix LL cleanup hang during long running DL jobs.
Fix NCCL_RINGS environment variable handling.
Added extra checks to catch repeat calls to ncclCommDestroy() GithubIssue#191
Improve bootstrap socket connection reliability at scale.
Fix hostname hashing issue. GithubIssue#187
Code cleanup to rename all non device files from *.cu to *.cc
Add tree algorithms for allreduce to improve performance at scale.
Add ncclCommAbort() and ncclCommGetAsyncError() to properly handle
network errors and be permit recover.
Detect initial CPU affinity and no longer escape it.
Dynamically load external network from libnccl-net.so.
Add init function in networks.
Move PCI scoring to net.cu, only ask transport to provide a path.
Simplify CUDA PCI path detection.
Add dummy external network
Improved LL tuning for multi-node jobs.
Improved bootstrap for large job scaling.
Fixed a hang during bootstrap due to socket reuse.
Added operation name to the COLL INFO logging.
Add support for inter-node communication using sockets and InfiniBand/RoCE.
Improve latency.
Add support for aggregation.
Improve LL/regular tuning.
Remove tests as those are now at github.com/nvidia/nccl-tests .
