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.
If a PCI node is the parent of a NIC, treat it as such, regardless of
the PCI class code for the device. This allows non-traditional devices
to act as NICs via the net plugin mechanism.
For consistency, treat GPUs similarly.
Add support for network collectives.
Add support for XML topology dump/injection.
Add text values for GDR and P2P Levels, including "NVL".
Add speed detection for PCI, Infiniband and Ethernet cards.
Add CPU detection for ARM and AMD CPUs.
Add support for adaptive routing on Infiniband.
Change NET plugin API to v3 : merge PCI path and GPU pointer
capability into a single structure and add other properties.
Add LL128 Protocol.
Rewrite the topology detection and tree/ring creation (#179). Improve
tree performance by sending/receiving from different GPUs. Add
model-based tuning to switch between the different algorithms and
protocols.
Rework P2P/SHM detection in containers (#155, #248).
Detect duplicated devices and return an error (#231).
Add tuning for GCP
