The above figure indicates the general process when training with NCCL2
distributed. Each trainer have the number of communicators equal to the
distributed. Each trainer has the number of communicators equal to the
number of GPUs, but the ranks should match the global ranks number: here
we have total 8 GPUs, so `nranks==8`, for each trainer, the ranks should
be from 0 ~ 3 on trainer 0 and 4 ~ 7 on trainer 1.
# Distributed Training with NCCL2 and RDMA
When doing distributed multi-GPU training, network bandwith often becomes the
bottle neck. We introduce a way to use NCCL2 to do such training job to
achieve best performace.
