(50 GB/s). To effectively leverage the different bandwidths of IB and NVLink, we limit each: U& P% x* Z, t5 d5 O) Q6 P! ?

In detail, we employ the warp specialization technique (Bauer et al., 2014) and partition

我的理解，使用PTX在其中，是为了更精准的定制线程执行减少通信块分配传输之间的串扰。

类比一下，就好比发现网卡驱动在对拷特定内存块的时候会和应用的线程执行出现串行导致效率降低，而绕开操作系统定义的与网卡驱动的接口，直接使用网卡支持的指令集进行了优化。 |
