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 support for bfloat16.
Add ncclAvg reduction operation.
Improve performance for aggregated operations.
Improve performance for tree.
Improve network error reporting.
Add NCCL_NET parameter to force a specific network.
Add NCCL_IB_QPS_PER_CONNECTION parameter to split IB traffic onto multiple queue pairs.
Fix topology detection error in WSL2.
Fix proxy memory elements affinity (improve alltoall performance).
Fix graph search on cubemesh topologies.
Fix hang in cubemesh during NVB connections.
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
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
Current SHM object name would only use pidHash and ranks as
identification, which would collide each other when program runs with
multiple communicators. Here we added commId info into pidHash, it makes
'pidHash'es of different communicators keeping in same process will be
distincted with each other.
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 .
