That’s what I thought. Thanks. From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2021 1:11 PM To: Heinz, Michael William <[email protected]> Cc: Open MPI Developers List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] Support for AMD M100?
There's not really any generic "accelerator" infrastructure in Open MPI itself -- there's a bunch of explicit CUDA support. But even some of that moved downward into both Libfabric and UCX and (at least somewhat) out of OMPI. That being said, we just added the AVX MPI_Op component -- equivalent components could be added for CUDA and/or AMD's GPU (what API does it use -- OpenCL?). That being said, I would imagine that the data inputs would need to be very large to make it worthwhile (wall-clock execution-wise) to offload MPI_Op operations to a discrete GPU on the other side of the PCI bus.

We’re discussing supporting it in PSM2 but it occurred to me that that won’t help much if higher-level APIs don’t support it, too… You mean supporting the AMD GPU in the same way that we have CUDA support for NVIDIA GPUs? -- Jeff Squyres [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -- Jeff Squyres [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
