# This file is a pure Python wrapper for the NCCL library.
# The main purpose is to use NCCL combined with CUDA graph.
# Before writing this script, we tried the following approach:
# 1. We tried to use `cupy`, it calls NCCL correctly, but `cupy` itself
# often gets stuck when initializing the NCCL communicator.
# 2. We tried to use `torch.distributed`, but `torch.distributed.all_reduce`
# contains many other potential cuda APIs, that are not allowed during
# capturing the CUDA graph. For further details, please check
# https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/pytorch-cudagraph-with-nccl-operation-failed/ .
#
# Another rejected idea is to write a C/C++ binding for NCCL. It is usually
# doable, but we often encounter issues related with nccl versions, and need
# to switch between different versions of NCCL. See
# https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl/issues/1234 for more details.
# A C/C++ binding is not flexible enough to handle this. It requires
# recompilation of the code every time we want to switch between different
# versions. This current implementation, with a **pure** Python wrapper, is
# more flexible. We can easily switch between different versions of NCCL by
# changing the environment variable `VLLM_NCCL_SO_PATH`, or the `so_file`
# variable in the code.
