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.
* Add alltoallv API and implementation
* Extend Rome P2P channel limit to multinode and alltoall kernels
* topo_expl: fix compilation and sync up with main
* gtest: use RCCL alltoallv API
* Code review changes
* Use posix_memalign for network buffer allocation on host memory
* ib-test: add ability to specify run iterations
* ib-test: define iterations as multiple of default cycles
* Add checking to posix_memalign return value
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.
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.
1. Fix RCCL unit test
2. Add ROME detection and tuning
3. Change default P2P level
4. Fix search algorithm for XGMI
5. Remove explicit channel duplication with implicit by using half of link speed

7. Correct Intel Skylake CPU detection and bandwidth
8. Fix topo connect function
9. Disable GDR read and remove unreachable code
10. Disable LL128 kernels
11. Add tuning parameters
12. Use original clock64() implementation which returns RTC counter value
13. Print out timestamp of collective trace
14. Do not use struct ncclColl in kernel launch parameter
15. Fix abort handling and add tracing
17. Add __launch_bounds__ to kernel functions
18. Remove unused abortCount
19. Unset default MIN_NRINGS and MIN_NCHANNELS
20. Do not allocate shared memory when not using LL128 kernels
21. Correct time print out in tuning log
Add LL128 Protocol.
