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.
Disable NET transport for intra-node communication by setting the env to 1
It provides an option to error out instead of falling back to NET when superior intra-node transports (P2P and SHM) are unavailable
I noticed when I enabled `NCCL_DEBUG_SUBSYS=ALLOC` that this function is
called thousands of times, making the log output unintelligible.
Fortunately, this function can be implemented without heap allocations.
Add new API for creating a reduction operation which multiplies the input by a rank-specific scalar before doing an inter-rank summation (see: ncclRedOpCreatePreMulSum).
Improve CollNet (SHARP) performance of ncclAllReduce when captured in a CUDA Graph via user buffer registration.
Add environment variable NCCL_NET_PLUGIN="<suffix>" to allow user to choose among multiple NCCL net plugins by substituting into "libnccl-net-<suffix>.so".
Fix memory leak of NVB connections.
Fix topology detection of IB Virtual Functions (SR-IOV).
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.
Fix crash when setting NCCL_MAX_P2P_NCHANNELS below nchannels.
Fix hang during sendrecv dynamic NVB connection establishment on
cubemesh topologies.
Add environment variable to only use SHARP on communicators beyond
a given number of ranks.
Add debug subsystem to trace memory allocations.
Fix compilation with TRACE=1. (Issue #505)
Fix memory leaks.
Fix crash in bootstrap error case.
Fix Collnet clean-up issue.
Make PCI switch vendor/device optional for XML injection.
Add support for nvidia-peermem module.
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.
Fix hang in corner cases of alltoallv using point to point send/recv.
Harmonize error messages.
Fix missing NVTX section in the license.
Update README.
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 $(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.
Current NCCL code does not abort for failed Flush operations by
underlying network. This may compromise data integrity.
