Add support for CUDA 12.0, drop Kepler (sm_35).
Support for H100 features.
Make socket code more robust and protected. Solves #555.
Improve performance on large CUDA graphs, reducing dependencies.
Reduce inter-socket bandwidth on AMD CPUs to favor better paths.
Various fixes to ncclCommAbort.
Make service thread polling resistant to EINTR.
Compile with profiling API by default.
Extend NVTX instrumentation with call arguments.
Optimize CUDA graph launch; avoid launching a CPU callback for
intra-node operations.
Simplify kernel common code to improve the latency of send/recv
operations.
Strengthen CUDA streams semantics.
Change NET API to v6, to add dmabuf support.
Add ncclGetLastError() function.
Add ncclRemoteError code and use it for remote network errors.
Support the use of a different NCCL_NET parameter per communicator.
Add support for SHM and P2P transfers using cudaMemcpy.
Fix bug with CollNet
Fix bug with zero-bytes send/recv operations
Fix NCCL_PARAM implementation to avoid taking a lock on every call
Fix bug when setting NCCL_IB_QPS_PER_CONNECTION to more than one.
Improve error reporting for network errors.
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 CUDA graphs.
Fuse BCM Gen4 switches to avoid suboptimal performance on some platforms. Issue #439.
Fix bootstrap issue caused by connection reordering.
Fix CPU locking block.
Improve CollNet algorithm.
Improve performance on DGX A100 for communicators with only one GPU per node.
Add $(INCTARGETS) to build dependencies of %.o and $(DEVICELIB).
As there were no dep files during the first build, Make may kick off source
compilation before nccl.h got generated, which leads to occasional build
failures on systems with high core count. The build failure could be
reproduced reliably with a `sleep 5` in $(INCDIR)/nccl.h rule.
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
Makes a change to allow the user to select between the static CUDA
runtime library (default) and the dynamic CUDA runtime library. Does
this by allowing `CUDARTLIB` to be overridden.
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
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 .
