README
NCCL
Optimized primitives for inter-GPU communication.
Introduction
NCCL (pronounced "Nickel") is a stand-alone library of standard communication routines for GPUs, implementing all-reduce, all-gather, reduce, broadcast, reduce-scatter, as well as any send/receive based communication pattern. It has been optimized to achieve high bandwidth on platforms using PCIe, NVLink, NVswitch, as well as networking using InfiniBand Verbs or TCP/IP sockets. NCCL supports an arbitrary number of GPUs installed in a single node or across multiple nodes, and can be used in either single- or multi-process (e.g., MPI) applications.
For more information on NCCL usage, please refer to the NCCL documentation.
Build
Note: the official and tested builds of NCCL can be downloaded from: https://developer.nvidia.com/nccl. You can skip the following build steps if you choose to use the official builds.
To build the library :
$ cd nccl
$ make -j src.build
If CUDA is not installed in the default /usr/local/cuda path, you can define the CUDA path with :
$ make src.build CUDA_HOME=<path to cuda install>
NCCL will be compiled and installed in build/ unless BUILDDIR is set.
By default, NCCL is compiled for all supported architectures. To accelerate the compilation and reduce the binary size, consider redefining NVCC_GENCODE (defined in makefiles/common.mk) to only include the architecture of the target platform :
$ make -j src.build NVCC_GENCODE="-gencode=arch=compute_70,code=sm_70"
Install
To install NCCL on the system, create a package then install it as root.
Debian/Ubuntu :
$ # Install tools to create debian packages
$ sudo apt install build-essential devscripts debhelper fakeroot
$ # Build NCCL deb package
$ make pkg.debian.build
$ ls build/pkg/deb/
RedHat/CentOS :
$ # Install tools to create rpm packages
$ sudo yum install rpm-build rpmdevtools
$ # Build NCCL rpm package
$ make pkg.redhat.build
$ ls build/pkg/rpm/
OS-agnostic tarball :
$ make pkg.txz.build
$ ls build/pkg/txz/
Tests
Tests for NCCL are maintained separately at https://github.com/nvidia/nccl-tests.
$ git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl-tests.git
$ cd nccl-tests
$ make
$ ./build/all_reduce_perf -b 8 -e 256M -f 2 -g <ngpus>
