Motivation

NCCL 2.30.7 added NCCL_GIN_IB_TC to set the RoCE traffic class of GIN queue pairs independently of NCCL_IB_TC. RCCL wired this into the IB-proxy GIN backends (net_ib/gin.cc, net_ib_cast/gin.cc) and
validated it in #12574. That PR explicitly deferred the rocSHMEM GDA backend, noting it "takes its traffic class from ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS instead (enablement tracked in AICOMRCCL-2666)."

This PR closes that gap: GIN-GDA queue pairs now honor RCCL's traffic class configuration using the same precedence as the proxy path, so a single set of knobs controls traffic class across all GIN backends.

Technical Details

GIN-GDA does not route through RCCL's IB transport. It builds its own QPs via rocshmem_gin_create_qps() in the GDA factory, which previously read traffic class only from rocSHMEM's
ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS env var — invisible to NCCL_GIN_IB_TC, NCCL_IB_TC, and ncclConfig_t::trafficClass.

The fix threads the resolved traffic class from RCCL into the factory:

  • gin_plugin_rocshmem_gda.cc — ginRocshmemGdaConnect() resolves the traffic class with upstream precedence (NCCL_GIN_IB_TC → NCCL_IB_TC → communicator trafficClass → 0) and passes it to the factory - Resolution happens at connect() time because that is where GDA creates and transitions its QPs; the value cannot change after the QP reaches RTS.
  • gin_rocshmem_gda_factory.{h,cc} — rocshmem_gin_create_qps() gains a traffic_class parameter, stored on the QP set and applied as ah_attr.grh.traffic_class during the INIT→RTR transition (Ethernet/RoCE
    link layer only; IB leaves GRH TC at 0, matching the proxy path). This replaces the direct read of ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS, making RCCL the single source of truth.
  • The resolved value is logged at init: GIN rocshmem-gda: QPs created (N ranks, tc=T) (NCCL_DEBUG=INFO), plus a factory-level LOG_TRACE.
  • gin_rocshmem_gda_factory_test.cu updated for the new signature (passes 0).

Service level is unchanged. No change to the proxy or SDMA backends.

Behavioral note: ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS no longer affects RCCL-driven GIN-GDA QPs; use NCCL_GIN_IB_TC / NCCL_IB_TC instead. Default (nothing set) remains TC 0, so existing deployments are unaffected.

Test Plan

  • 1 nodes × 8 rank, RoCE NIC (ionic GDA provider), NCCL_GIN_TYPE=6.
  • NCCL_GIN_IB_TC=106: confirm GIN rocshmem-gda: QPs created (… tc=106) at NCCL_DEBUG=INFO.
  • Precedence: NCCL_GIN_IB_TC=106 + NCCL_IB_TC=42 → resolves to 106; NCCL_IB_TC=42 alone → 42; nothing set → 0.
  • Collective smoke test: all2all_perf across the eight ranks under each env arm .

Findings

2 finding(s) that could not be posted as inline comments
  • projects/rccl/docs/how-to/device-api-gin.rst:257 (Medium) Two shipped docs pages now describe the opposite of this PR's behaviour docs/how-to/device-api-gin.rst:257 says the rocSHMEM GDA backend doesn't read NCCL_GIN_IB_TC or NCCL_IB_TC and takes its traffic class from ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS; this change makes two of those three clauses false, and the ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS read is gone from gin_rocshmem_gda_factory.cc:871. docs/userguide/source/env.rst:446 has the same problem, stating that only NCCL_GIN_TYPE=2 reads the variable. Those two pages are where a user would go to discover the knob this PR just wired up, so could we update both here?
  • projects/rccl/src/gin/gin_rocshmem_gda_factory.cc:1242 (Low) LOG_TRACE prints the pre-truncation int, not the uint8_t actually programmed This trace prints the pre-truncation traffic_class while the QP is programmed from the narrowed set->traffic_class at line 1096, so NCCL_IB_TC=300 logs tc=300 on a QP carrying 44. ncclLoadParam applies no bounds (src/misc/param.cc:78-107) and nothing clamps config.trafficClass, so the gap is reachable from either knob. The proxy path logs the field it actually wrote at net_ib/connect.cc:521-523, and matching it also brings this line back under the 120 column limit.

Bottom line: Worth settling before approval: two docs pages still say the GDA backend ignores NCCL_GIN_IB_TC and takes its traffic class from ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS.

The doc reference need fixed.

Update the GIN how-to and env reference to reflect that the rocSHMEM GDA
backend now honors NCCL_GIN_IB_TC / NCCL_IB_TC / host-comm traffic class,
and that ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS no longer drives these QPs. Note why
the device-communicator ginTrafficClass rung is not consulted on this path.

Log the narrowed uint8_t traffic class actually programmed into the QP
instead of the pre-truncation int.

…the RCCL 2.32.3 for ROCm 10.3.0 (Unreleased) section (#14929)

This PR does two things to `projects/rccl/CHANGELOG.md`.

1. Removes the duplicate `## RCCL 2.31.2 for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)`
heading. #13544 removed it, and #13128 brought it back. The section is
not a pure copy: 48 of its entries have no identical copy elsewhere. 47
of them are folded into `## RCCL 2.32.3 for ROCm 10.2.0` instead of
being deleted, and the 48th is the older wording of the
`RCCL_CE_AR_STAGING_BYTES` entry, which is dropped in favor of the newer
one. Where the same entry appeared in both sections, one copy is kept.
2. Moves the entries below, which sit in release sections but whose code
was merged to develop after the `rocm-systems` commit that TheRock
`release/therock-10.2` pins (`ded49fd`) and is not in that commit. This
moves 53 of them into `## RCCL 2.32.3 for ROCm 10.3.0 (Unreleased)`,
under the matching subsections.

Not moved: 10 entries that were attributed to #13544 (the CHANGELOG-only
PR that last touched them), so the code PR could not be traced. They
stay in the 10.2.0 section and are unverified, so the RCCL owners should
confirm them. They begin: `RCCL_TDM_LL128_ENABLE`, `Ll128TdmStoreTest`,
the TDM reduction path for SIMPLE, Anvil SDMA strong GIN signals, VA GIN
signals on Anvil SDMA, `NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1` on shared topology nodes,
queue evictions at process exit, multi-receive `irecv` with
`NCCL_IB_USE_INLINE=1`, Anvil SDMA signal cells across logical contexts,
and GIN signal shadow sizing.

- #13328 (merged 2026-10-20,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_BCM_LINKS_PATH`: fallback directory path for Broadcom PEX890xx
multi-host switch inter-switch-link topology. On systems where a single
physical PEX switch is partitioned across multiple CPU domains (upstream
ports), RCCL needs to know which ports share the same switch so it can
classify cross-partition PCIe paths as `PXB` instead of `PHB` and enable
GDR across them. The `switch_discovery` kernel module exposes this via
sysfs (`/sys/kernel/pci_switch_link/virtual_switch_links`); when that
path is not available, RCCL reads the same directory layout from
`RCCL_BCM_LINKS_PATH`. The companion userspace tool
`rccl_bcm_isl_discover.sh` discovers the switch groups by reading the
PCIe Device Serial Number (DSN) from extended config space (vendor
`1000`, device `c030`) and populates this directory.
- #12742 (merged 2026-10-18,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `NCCL_GIN_MLOPART`: allows GIN on MLO/CPX partitions. A partition
reaches xGMI and the network over the physical device's paths, so GIN is
as available to a partition as to the whole GPU. By default a
single-node partitioned communicator keeps GIN, and one spanning several
nodes does not, because past one node admitting a partition also reaches
the hierarchical Copy Engine path. Set `1` to allow GIN on partitions on
any number of nodes, or `0` to restore the previous partition exclusion.
- #3894 (merged 2026-10-16, and
its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3 for
ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `NCCL_TREE_COMPACT` (default `0`): builds the inter-node trees with
a half-interleave node remapping, for jobs whose nodes are ordered by
network domain. Both trees keep cross-domain hops at the leaves only
when the nodes split evenly into two domains; with an uneven split, the
first tree does so when the first domain holds at least half of the
nodes, and the second tree still crosses domains. All ranks in a
communicator must use the same value; initialization fails with
`ncclInvalidUsage` otherwise.
- #12856 (merged 2026-10-15,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_FABRIC_TELEMETRY_ENABLE` (default `0`): samples every amd-smi
fabric telemetry category for the GPUs this process opens communicators
on and logs the counters that moved, plus a closing report over the
whole sampled span when a device's last communicator is destroyed.
Diagnostic only, and off by default. Also needs `RCCL_USE_AMD_SMI_LIB=1`
and `render`-group access to the IFoE config character device; without
either, RCCL logs why telemetry was skipped and initialization
continues.
- #12856 (merged 2026-10-15,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_FABRIC_TELEMETRY_INTERVAL_MS` (default `1000`): sampling
period for `RCCL_FABRIC_TELEMETRY_ENABLE`, clamped to a 100 ms floor and
a one-hour ceiling. A non-positive value disables telemetry entirely.
- #12573 (merged 2026-10-14,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Hierarchical symmetric `ncclAllGather` for multi-node using GIN and
LSA (`AllGather_RailRing_LsaST`): a GIN ring over the rails team moves
data between nodes and LSA stores broadcast it to the other GPUs in each
node.
- #14140 (merged 2026-11-01,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Hierarchical symmetric `ncclAllGather` for partition mode in gfx1250
scale-up domain using LSA (`AllGater_HierLsaST`): each rank stores its
data once to its counterpart partition on every other GPU, which
forwards it to the other partitions there, so data crosses to each GPU
once instead of once per partition.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `NCCL_GIN_ALLREDUCE_GFX1250_ENABLE` (default `0`): opt in to
GinScatter AllReduce on gfx1250 for symmetric sum messages from 64 MiB
through 4 GiB. Left off, gfx1250 keeps the pre-existing AllReduce
selectors.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `NCCL_GIN_ALLREDUCE_SCRATCH_BYTES` (default 512 MiB): GinScatter
incoming scratch. `0` skips the allocation and GinScatter is not
selected. The buffer is allocated only on the GinScatter path.
- #13416 (merged 2026-10-15,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_TUNING_PARTITION_MODE` (`auto`, `SPX` or `DPX`; default
`auto`): selects the gfx1250 tuning table for the GPU's
compute-partition mode. `auto` uses the DPX table when the GPU reports
DPX, and the SPX table otherwise. A communicator uses the DPX table only
when every rank selects it. The DPX table is currently a copy of the SPX
table, so tuning is unchanged.
- #13727 (merged 2026-11-03,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_IB_UDMA_POLICY` (default `0`): selects how QPs are assigned to
the two uDMA pipelines of an AINIC with the `IB-CAST` transport. `0`
pins each channel's send QPs, and separately its receive QPs, to one
pipeline per device, `1` round-robins P2P QPs, `2` leaves the choice to
the driver, and `3` splits each connection across both pipelines (the
default of two QPs per connection is enough; splitting is lost with one
QP per connection and on RMA comms). Out-of-range values log a warning
and fall back to `0`.

pipelined).

- #13995 (merged 2026-10-27,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_IB_GDR_FLUSH_FLAG` (default `0`): replaces the GPUDirect RDMA
flush of Simple-protocol receives in the `IB` network transport. Instead
of the proxy fencing each receive with an RDMA read and waiting for it,
the sender writes a per-QP flag into GPU memory after the payload
without relaxed ordering, and the GPU waits for it. A communicator uses
it only when every rank enables it and can use it (gfx942 or gfx950, the
`IB` transport, and no adaptive routing, out-of-order receive queues,
ID-based receive matching (`NCCL_IB_RECEIVER_SIDE_MATCHING_SCHEME=1`) or
port-failover resiliency (`NCCL_IB_RESILIENCY_PORT_FAILOVER`));
otherwise every rank keeps the RDMA read flush. Connections over a fused
NIC (NIC Fusion, including a fused vNIC chosen by subnet-aware routing),
with more than 8 QPs per request, or that cannot register the flag
memory also keep it. On gfx950 with 2 to 8 nodes of 8 GPUs, such a
communicator also selects Ring/LL128 from 16 MB per node, Tree/Simple
from 32 MB per node and Ring/Simple from 64 MB per node for
`ncclAllReduce`, and switches `ncclReduceScatter` from LL128 to Simple
above 6 MB per rank instead of 8 MB, unless `NCCL_ALGO` or `NCCL_PROTO`
is set. On MI355X it raises large `ncclAllReduce` and
`ncclReduceScatter` bandwidth by 10 to 22% and 1 to 8 MB `ncclAlltoAll`
by 4 to 12%.
- #13995 (merged 2026-10-27,

> * `RCCL_IB_GDR_FLUSH_FLAG_TUNE` (default `0`): additional tuning for
communicators that use `RCCL_IB_GDR_FLUSH_FLAG` on gfx950 with 8 GPUs
per node on 2 to 8 or 16 nodes. Ring and tree connections get a 4x LL128
buffer (send/recv keeps the default, and `NCCL_LL128_BUFFSIZE` disables
it); `ncclAllReduce` selects Ring/LL128 from 12 MB per node up to what
one ring loop carries, then Tree/Simple up to 64 MB per node and
Ring/Simple on 48 channels up to 128 MB per node, and Tree/Simple from 8
to 64 MB per node on 16 nodes; `ncclReduceScatter` keeps LL128 up to 7
MB per rank, then Simple, on 16 nodes too. All ranks must use the same
value.
- #13757 (merged 2026-10-26,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_PCIE_ORDERED_RING` (default `1`, also accepted as
`NCCL_PCIE_ORDERED_RING`): pins the ring graph search to the order GPUs
appear in the topology array, so every channel uses the same ring.
Without it the search picks a different permutation per channel, so a
device exchanges with many different peers; pinning the order reduces
fan-out to one peer per direction per device across all rings, which
cuts the connections, FIFO buffers and setup work each device carries.
On gfx1250 partitioned (DPX) GPUs the unpinned search also mixes
scale-up and scale-in hops between channels; pinning keeps the two
partitions of a die adjacent, though ring throughput is bounded by its
slowest hop either way. This constrains GPU visitation order only: path
validation, bandwidth constraints and backtracking are unchanged. It
applies to gfx1250 ring graphs on a single host where every rank is a
GPU of that topology, so trees, CollNet, other architectures and
multi-host communicators are unaffected, and `NCCL_GRAPH_FILE` and
`NCCL_RINGS` still take precedence. Set `0` to restore the unconstrained
search, or `2` to fail communicator initialization instead of falling
back when no ordered ring passes validation.

> * `NCCL_MULTI_SEGMENT_REGISTER` default changed `1` -> `0` on HIP and
stays `1` on other builds. On HIP, multi-segment registration stays off
until a job sets the variable. Set `1` to register one DMA-BUF memory
region per physical segment where the transport supports it.
- #10885 (merged 2026-10-26,

`NCCL_MULTI_SEGMENT_REGISTER=0`, a collective on any part of a
multi-segment registration skips NET registration and stages, instead of
retrying a single-region registration on every collective.
- #10891 (merged 2026-10-25,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * GIN window registration on HIP fails with `ncclInvalidUsage` when
the window spans several device-memory segments, instead of registering
a memory region that covers only the first segment, and when it contains
host VMM memory and `NCCL_DMABUF_ENABLE=0`.
- #12947 (merged 2026-10-15,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `install.sh --all_unrolls` (`-DBUILD_ALL_UNROLLS=ON`) now adds the
unroll factors the multi-arch default skips (8 and 16) on top of each
architecture's existing set. It no longer replaces that set or clears
the gfx1250 pin on unroll 32. The flag stays off by default, so a normal
build does not compile unroll 8 or 16.
- #13509 (merged 2026-10-31,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * The GIO topology model is applied only to systems with exactly 16
GPUs. It was previously applied to any system with 16 or more GPUs,
where the 16-GPU model does not describe the topology; such systems now
fall through to the other models.
- #13581 (merged 2026-10-19,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Enabled the single-node one-slice optimization for gfx1250, which
was previously limited to gfx942 and gfx950. Ring Simple AllGather,
AllReduce and ReduceScatter now use one slice per chunk instead of two,
halving the per-chunk peer handshakes. The gain is largest below about
128 MB and tapers to a few percent at multi-GB sizes, where the ring is
already near the link bandwidth. LL, LL128 and non-ring algorithms are
unaffected.
- #14123 (merged 2026-10-30,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * On gfx1250, the DDA LL128 `ncclAllGather`, `ncclAllReduce` and
`ncclReduceScatter` receivers keep each line's payload from the
cooperative load that saw its flag instead of reading the slice a second
time. The DDA scratch bank is now floored to 128 bytes instead of 16, so
an LL128 wire line never straddles two 128-byte lines when
`RCCL_DDA_FABRIC_BUFFER_SIZE` sets an unaligned size. Results are
unchanged. Other architectures are unaffected.
- #13415 (merged 2026-10-19,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `fp8_e4m3` and `fp8_e5m2` sum reductions on gfx1250 convert eight
elements per instruction using the packed conversion instructions,
instead of two. Results are unchanged. Other architectures and reduction
operators are unaffected.
- #13406 (merged 2026-10-20,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * The rocSHMEM GDA GIN backend (`NCCL_GIN_TYPE=6`) now sets the RoCE
traffic class of its queue pairs from `NCCL_GIN_IB_TC`, then
`NCCL_IB_TC`, then the communicator traffic class, matching the IB proxy
backend. It previously read `ROCSHMEM_GDA_TRAFFIC_CLASS`, which no
longer affects these queue pairs. The default remains traffic class 0
when none of these is set.
- #13357 (merged 2026-10-23,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `NCCL_SYM_TMA_ENABLE` now defaults to `1`, matching NCCL 2.31.2, so
on gfx1250 (MI450) the Tensor Data Mover symmetric kernels
(`AllGather_TmaST`, `AllReduce_RSxTmaLD_AGxTmaST`,
`ReduceScatter_TmaLD`) are offered to the symmetric cost model whenever
an application uses symmetric registered memory. The cost model selects
them only where their deep loop engages, and launches them at the widest
allowed block count. They require 16-byte aligned buffers and a build
with gfx1250 in `GPU_TARGETS` and a ROCm SDK that ships the TDM
descriptor header. For in-place AllGather and ReduceScatter the per-rank
slice must also be a multiple of 16 bytes, so that every rank selects
the same kernel. Other architectures are unaffected. Set
`NCCL_SYM_TMA_ENABLE=0` to restore the previous behavior.
- #13357 (merged 2026-10-23,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * rccl-tests `-A 1` (and `rcclGetCollImplInfo` / `rcclSymKGetInfo`)
now report a symmetric collective that selects a Tensor Data Mover
kernel as `SymTDM` instead of `SYM`. The symmetric reporting query also
accounts for buffer alignment, so it no longer omits the TDM kernels
that the live dispatch would pick.
- #12291 (merged 2026-10-21,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * The AMD Pensando 'ionic' RDMA provider for the rocSHMEM GDA GIN
backend (`NCCL_GIN_TYPE=6`) now properly enforces the required support
for creation of 'collapsed' single-entry completion queues. If network
driver and firmware support for this feature is unavailable, an
initialization failure will occur rather than a silent fallback to plain
completion queues.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * `RCCL_DDA_LL128_RS_THREADS` removed (was default `1024`):
reduce-scatter LL128 now launches a fixed 512-thread block, one warp per
slice, so the thread count is no longer a tuning knob.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Fixed topology GPU indices that followed the HIP device order
instead of the PCI order. This reordered rings and NIC selection,
causing an `ncclGather` performance regression on multi-node MI355X
systems, and made communicator initialization fail when each rank sees
only its own GPU.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Fixed LL-protocol latency on gfx950 when RCCL is built against a
ROCm older than 7.0.2 without the 128-bit global load/store builtins
(for example ROCm 7.0.1, or `-DDWORDX4_INTRINSICS=OFF`). Every store to
the user output buffer was followed by a release fence and an L2
writeback, which made 4 KB to 64 KB `ncclBroadcast` about 30% slower on
MI355X. Builds against ROCm 7.0.2 or later were not affected and are
unchanged.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Fixed a 15 to 30% `ncclScatter` bandwidth loss from 16 MB upward on
multi-node AINIC jobs, caused by the move to two network channels per
peer (for example on 4 nodes of 8 GPUs). Scatter now uses and connects
the most channels per peer whose flows still fit the P2P channel pool.
Point-to-point operations and the other collectives keep their channel
count.
- #13128 (merged 2026-11-02,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.32.3
for ROCm 10.2.0` section:
> * Fixed `ncclCommAbort` and `ncclCommRevoke` hanging when a DDA
collective (IPC on gfx942/gfx950, fabric LL/LL128/VMM on gfx1250) was
waiting on a peer that never joined. DDA kernels now observe the
communicator abort flag while waiting. A parent communicator shrunk with
`NCCL_SHRINK_ABORT` no longer uses DDA for later collectives.
- #12386 (merged 2026-10-20,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * DDA LL128 eligibility functions (`ddaLL128ArOneShotEligible`,
`ddaLL128ArTwoShotEligible`) no longer check `RCCL_DDA_LL`. LL and LL128
are now independently gated: `RCCL_DDA_LL=0` disables only the LL tier;
`RCCL_DDA_LL128=0` disables only the LL128 tier. Both checks are
enforced via `rcclDdaLLThresholdTab` / `rcclDdaLL128ThresholdTab` at the
selector level, which return 0 when the respective param is disabled.
- #12386 (merged 2026-10-20,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * DDA LL128 is disabled for ReduceScatter and AlltoAll on gfx1250:
`ddaLL128Max[RS]` and `ddaLL128Max[A2A]` are 0 in the gfx1250 arch
table.
- #13005 (merged 2026-10-15,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * With `NCCL_CTA_POLICY=2` (`NCCL_CTA_POLICY_ZERO`), AllReduce on
registered symmetric windows now takes the registered CE path whenever
it is available, even when the symmetric kernel is eligible, matching
AllGather and upstream NCCL. A non-zero arch-table `ceRegMax[AllReduce]`
no longer caps it under this policy; a zero entry and an explicit
`RCCL_CE_AR_REG_MAX_MSG_BYTES` still apply.
- #12386 (merged 2026-10-20,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * `RCCL_FORCE_CE` (default `1`): acts as a prerequisite gate for
CE-scratch selection. When `RCCL_FORCE_CE=0`, CE-scratch is disabled
entirely for all collectives regardless of other flags. When non-zero,
CE-scratch fires if `CTA_POLICY_ZERO` (`-x 2`) is set (bypassing the
size window) or if the message size falls within the arch-table
`ceNonRegMax` window. AlltoAll CE-scratch now has a size window
(`ceNonRegMax[AlltoAll]` in the per-arch table, currently 0 on all
arches).
- #13098 (merged 2026-10-29,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Registered-window CE AllReduce is now eligible without requiring
``NCCL_CTA_POLICY=2``
> (``CTA_POLICY_ZERO``); it is gated only by the per-arch table window
and ``RCCL_CE_ALLREDUCE``.
> ``RCCL_FORCE_CE_ALLREDUCE`` now applies exclusively to the

- #14254 (merged 2026-10-30,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed an intermittent hang, and possible wrong results, in the first
DDA fabric LL all-reduces after communicator initialization on gfx1250
(`NCCL_MNNVL_ENABLE=1`). Initialization zeroed the LL scratch buffer and
epoch counters with an asynchronous null-stream memset that could land
after a rank's first LL kernel, resetting its epoch so that rank used a
different flag and scratch bank than its peers. Initialization now waits
for the zero fills, and the ranks agree that every rank zeroed its
buffers before any rank can launch an LL kernel. If any rank fails to
set up its LL buffers or GPU barrier, every rank disables the fabric DDA
path together.
- #13509 (merged 2026-10-31,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed memory corruption, uninitialized reads and a division by zero
when parsing malformed or oversized `NCCL_RINGS` values. A ring list
with more channels than `MAXCHANNELS`, a ring naming more GPUs or more
NET endpoints than supported, or a GPU or NET number too large for an
`int` wrote past the channel and parser arrays or wrapped around; NET
slots a ring did not name were copied into the graph uninitialized; and
input from which no channel could be parsed divided the system bandwidth
by zero channels. Such input is now rejected with `ncclInvalidUsage`,
and bandwidth is zero when no channel is parsed. Parsing a `NULL` ring
string returns `ncclInvalidArgument` instead of dereferencing it. A ring
that names its NETs between its GPUs rather than at its ends, for
example `"0 N0 1 2 N1 3"`, no longer stores a negative NET id in the
graph, which failed multi-node initialization; such a channel is
ignored.
- #13509 (merged 2026-10-31,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed a crash and silent misconfiguration when parsing malformed
`RCCL_TREES` values. A tree not terminated by `)`, for example
`"(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6"`, searched past the end of the string and
segfaulted; a GPU number larger than an `int` wrapped around and built a
tree over an unintended GPU, as `"(4294967299)"` did over GPU 3; and a
stray non-digit character resolved to a GPU number left over from the
previous tree, so `"(5)(6)|(0)(x)"` parsed as `"(0)(6)"`. The number of
trees, the GPUs per tree, the transcribed tree length and the GPU index
used for remapping are now bounded. Invalid input is rejected with
`ncclInvalidUsage`, and a `NULL` tree string returns
`ncclInvalidArgument`.
- #13815 (merged 2026-10-30,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed wrong results and hangs in application kernels that use the
GIN device API, such as the `07_kernel_fusion` GIN and hybrid RMSNorm
examples. `nccl_device/coop.h` selected `__syncwarp` from
`ROCM_VERSION`, which only RCCL's own build defines, so in application
code the thread and warp cooperative groups synchronized the whole block
with `__syncthreads()`. The GIN barrier calls them from a subset of
threads, which left the block's waves out of step. The headers now fall
back to the HIP version when `ROCM_VERSION` is not defined.
- #12743 (merged 2026-10-20,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed the GIN plugin never being finalized for a communicator that
had connected a GIN backend, leaking the plugin's per-communicator
context and leaving its reference count one too high after every
`ncclCommDestroy`. `ncclGinHostFinalize` closed the GIN connections and
then zeroed the whole `ncclGinState`, so the `ncclGinFinalize` that
follows it in `commFree` saw no active backend and skipped the plugin
`finalize()` call. Host finalize now clears only the per-connection
state and hands the backend records to `ncclGinFinalize`, which
finalizes each one on the last shared-resource reference. `commFree`
returns the first of a `closeColl` or plugin-finalize error after those
frees; if both fail, the `closeColl` error is the one reported. An
`ncclRmaProxyFinalize` error still aborts the rest of teardown
immediately. On the Anvil SDMA backend (`NCCL_GIN_TYPE=7`) this was one
leaked init context per connected communicator.
- #12679 (merged 2026-10-16,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed a crash (`HSA_STATUS_ERROR_MEMORY_APERTURE_VIOLATION`) on
gfx110x and gfx120x when the Tree algorithm runs over shared memory with
more channels than the Tree graph search found, for example with
`NCCL_ALGO=Tree` and `NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1`. Channels added after
`ncclTopoPreset` had no intra-node tree links; `ncclTopoPostset` now
sets the tree and CollNet chain links on every channel, as it already
did for rings.
- #11133 (merged 2026-10-14,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed the host one-sided RMA API being unavailable on multi-node
communicators whose ranks had fused NICs. NIC fusion merges devices for
the regular transport only; GIN and RMA select from their own topology
node types and never receive a fused device.
- #12750 (merged 2026-10-18,
and its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.31.2
for ROCm 10.2.0 (Unreleased)` section:
> * Fixed Anvil SDMA GIN small-message AllToAll latency after
`ncclGinFenceLevel` support. A sub-threshold `gin.put`, a
`gin.putValue`, or a standalone `gin.signal` emitted two system-scope
fences per peer: one in `fenceBeforeSignal` and one in `signalPeer`.
`signalPeer` now emits a single system-scope release immediately before
the remote atomic, rather than an agent-scope release before it and a
system-scope fence after it, which also stops payload stores from
passing the signal cell. A clean-queue IPC `SignalInc` skips
`fenceBeforeSignal` entirely, since it would only repeat that release.
The SDMA `quiet()` before a signal now runs only when the call itself
issued SDMA; previously any call carrying a signal or counter quieted
the peer queue, including an IPC put after an earlier SDMA put to the
same peer, which now relies on `Flush` to drain that queue. The
`NCCL_GIN_ANVIL_SDMA_IPC_AGENT_FENCE` debug knob is removed. Each
`Flush` thread drains the peers it owns and then clears exactly the bits
it drained, over a mask disjoint from every other thread's. Previously
`Flush` loaded a snapshot, quieted it, and cleared the whole word on the
coop's leading thread, on every rank, which could drop a concurrent mark
whose doorbell had not yet fired and then skip the quiet that mark
needed. Clearing after the drain also keeps the invariant that a clear
bit means a drained queue, so a second coop flushing the same context
cannot return from `Flush` while the first is still inside `quiet()`.
- #5708 (merged 2026-10-29, and
its merge commit is not in `ded49fd`), moved from the `RCCL 2.30.7 for
ROCm 10.1.0` section:
> * `hipcc` is no longer accepted as the CMake CXX compiler for RCCL
builds. Use `amdclang++` directly (`-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=amdclang++` or
set `ROCM_PATH`). `hipcc` was a wrapper around `amdclang++` that is
being phased out across the ROCm stack.

Only the CHANGELOG is changed. Version macros are left to the component
owners.
