2.24.3-1
Network user buffer support for collectives
* Leverage user buffer registration to achieve zero-copy
inter-node communications for Ring, NVLS and Collnet
Add RAS subsystem
* Create a RAS thread keeping track of all NCCL communicators.
* Add a ncclras tool contacting the RAS thread and getting a
report.
Add fp8 support
* Add support for e5m2 and e4m3 8-bit floating point operations.
* Use Tree/PAT algorithms when possible for better numerical
stability.
Add NIC fusion
* Add a NET API to ask the network plugin to fuse a set of
interfaces together.
* Fuse multiple NICs under the same PCI switch as a single,
larger NIC.
Socket connection failure retry
* Retry in case of socket connection failure (unreachable host)
* Avoid "Software caused connection abort" errors on retries
QP connection failure retry
* Retry in case of IB QP connection failure during ibv_modify_qp.
NET API improvements
* Allow plugins to force a flush in case data and completion
ordering is not guaranteed.
* Indicate when completion is not needed (e.g. for the LL128
protocol), allowing plugins to skip generating a completion.
* Allow for full offload of allgather operations when using one
GPU per node.
NCCL_ALGO/NCCL_PROTO strict enforcement
* Extend NCCL_ALGO/NCCL_PROTO syntax to be able to specify
ALGO/PROTO filters for each collective operation.
* Strictly enforce the ALGO/PROTO filters, no longer fall back
on the ring algorithm when the filtering leaves no option and
error out instead.
Enable CUMEM host allocations
* Use cumem functions for host memory allocation by default.
Improved profiler plugin API
* Avoid dependencies with NCCL includes.
* Add information on whether the buffer is registered or not
Adjust PAT tuning
* Improve transition between PAT and ring at scale.
Fix hangs when running with different CPU architectures
* Detect when we use a mix of GPU architectures
* Ensure Algo/Proto decisions are made based on that unified
state.
Fix FD leak in UDS
* Fix a leak when mapping buffers intra-node with cumem IPCs.
Fix crash when mixing buffer registration and graph buffer registration.
* Separate local and graph registration to avoid crashes when we free
buffers.
Fix user buffer registration with dmabuf
* Make ncclSend/ncclRecv communication with buffer registration functional
on network plugins relying on dmabuf for buffer registration.
Fix crash in IB code caused by uninitialized fields.
Fix non-blocking ncclSend/ncclRecv
* Fix case where ncclSend/ncclRecv would return ncclSuccess in non-blocking
mode even though the operation was not enqueued onto the stream.
* Issue #1495
Various compiler tweaks and fixes
* PR #758
Fix typo in ncclTopoPrintGraph
* Issue #1468

2.23.4-1
Add scalable init API
* Add new ncclCommInitRankScalable to allow for passing multiple
unique IDs to the init function.
* Spreads the load onto multiple bootstrap roots, allowing for
constant bootstrap time.
* Requires multiple ranks to create a unique ID, and the CPU-side
ID exchange code to call allgather[v] instead of broadcast.
Accelerate init bootstrap operations
* Reduce the number of calls to allgather.
* Allow roots to reply early to ranks when information is already
available.
* Add an option to use ncclNet instead of sockets to perform
bootstrap allgather operations.
Add PAT algorithms for Allgather and ReduceScatter
* Parallel Aggregated Trees, variation of Bruck algorithm.
* Logarithmic number of network steps for small sizes at scale.
* Only supports one rank per node at the moment.
Add support for registered buffers for intra-node communication.
* Allow registered user buffers to be accessed directly intra-node
* Avoids extra copies in algorithms which permit it, saving
memory bandwidth and helping with compute overlap.
Add profiler plugin API
* New plugin API for profiling
* Supports various levels of profiling, with a hierarchy.
Asynchronous graph allocation
* Make calls to cudaMalloc and cudaMemcpy during graph allocation
asynchronous.
* Significantly speeds up graph capture.
Use fatal IB asynchronous events to stop network operation
* Avoids many other error messages
* Only fatal errors are affected; potentially transient errors
(e.g. port down) do not cause an immediate stop.
Set P2P level to PXB on AMD CPUs when using more than 2 GPUs per node
* P2P would cause a significant performance degradation when using
many GPUs, and therefore many interleaved data flows.
* Disable P2P through the CPU when we have 3+ GPUs per node; keep it
enabled when we only have 2 GPUs.
Improve the init logs to report the real NCCL function.
* Make the log report ncclCommInitRank or ncclCommSplit, rather than
the generic ncclCommInitRankFunc.
Add a parameter to set the location of the user configuration file.
* Add NCCL_CONF_FILE environment variable to set where the user's
configuration file resides.
Increase default IB timeout
* Increase IB timeout value from 18 to 20.
* Should help avoid fatal errors on large RoCE systems.
Add new check for nvidia peermem
* On linux kernels 6.6+, /sys/kernel/mm/memory_peers is no longer
present; check for /sys/module/nvidia_peermem/version instead.
Fix old performance regression when mixing small and large operations.
* Improves distribution of work on channels.
Fix crash when NUMA IDs are equal to -1.
* Can happen when a NIC is a virtual NIC, or when linux doesn't
know which NUMA node a device is attached to
* Issue NVIDIA/nccl-tests#233
Fix tree graph search when NCCL_CROSS_NIC is set to 1.
* Would force NCCL to use the balanced_tree pattern, thereby
disabling LL128 on platforms with 1 GPU+1 NIC per PCI switch.
* Would also try to use alternate rings even though it was not
needed.
Compiler tweaks and fixes
* PR #1177
* PR #1228
Fix stack smash
* PR #1325
Fixes for multi-node NVLink + IB operation
