Intel oneAPI Collective Communications Library (oneCCL)
Intel oneAPI Collective Communications Library (oneCCL) is a scalable and high-performance communication library for Deep Learning (DL) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads. It develops the ideas that originated in Intel® Machine Learning Scaling Library and expands the design and API to encompass new features and use cases.
oneCCL features include:
- Built on top of lower-level communication middleware – MPI and libfabrics
- Optimized to drive scalability of communication patterns by enabling the productive trade-off of compute for communication performance
- Enables a set of DL-specific optimizations, such as prioritization, persistent operations, out of order execution, etc.
- DPC++-aware API to run across various hardware targets, such as CPUs and GPUs
- Works across various interconnects: Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (Intel® OPA), InfiniBand*, and Ethernet
