Only CPU initiated CUDA APIs provide ordering of GPUDirect memory operations as observed by the GPU. That is, despite a third party device having issued all PCIE transactions, a running GPU kernel or copy operation may observe stale data or data that arrives out-of-order until a subsequent CP...

Before the introduction of IBGDA, the NVSHMEM InfiniBand Reliable Connection (IBRC) transport used a proxy thread on the CPU to manage communication (Figure 1). When using a proxy thread, NVSHMEM performs the following sequence of operations: The application launches a CUDA ...
零拷贝(Zero-copy)- 应用程序能够直接执行数据传输,在不涉及到网络软件栈的情况下。数据能够被直接发送到缓冲区或者能够直接从缓冲区里接收,而不需要被复制到网络层。 内核旁路(Kernel bypass)- 应用程序可以直接在用户态执行数据传输,不需要在内核态与用户态之间做上下文切换。 不需要CPU干预(No CPU involvement)- ...
Usually, CUDA is used for the kernel computation and data movement between CPU and GPU while MPI and PGAS are used for inter-process communication. Several MPI implementations use the CUDA under the hood to allow direct communication from GPU device memory and transparently improve performance of ...
NVIDIA has created a simple demonstration of GPUDirect RDMA on Jetson AGX Xavier. This demonstration uses an FPGA device attached to Jetson’s PCIe port to copy memory from one CUDA surface to another and validate the result. The FPGA configuration, the Linux kernel driver code, and the user...
CUDA defines a stream as a sequence of operations that are performed in order on the device. Typically, such a sequence contains one memory copy from host to device, which transfers input data; one kernel launch, which uses these input data; and one memory copy from device to host, which...
The device driver requires GPU display driver >= 418.40 on ppc64le and >= 331.14 on other platforms. The library and tests require CUDA >= 6.0. DKMS is a prerequisite for installing GDRCopy kernel module package. On RHEL or SLE, however, users have an option to build kmod and install it...
GPUDirect P2P支持GPU之间通过memory fabric(PCIe或NVLink)直接进行数据拷贝。CUDA driver原生支持P2P技术,开发者可使用最新的CUDA Toolkit和driver来实现GPU间直接通信[6](一般用于机内通信)。 2、NVLink 介绍完GPU Direct技术后,我们来看一下另一项机内互联技术NVlink。
这里我们使用了cudaMalloc()来从显存分配空间。然后我们使用cuMemGetHandleForAddressRange()来获取dmabuf_fd。 注册内存区域 在注册内存区域的时候,我们也要做出一些变化: voidNetwork::RegisterMemory(Buffer&buf){structfid_mr*mr;structfi_mr_attrmr_attr={.iov_count=1,.access=FI_SEND|FI_RECV|FI_REMOTE_...
