mindspore.ops.NeighborExchangeV2

class mindspore.ops.NeighborExchangeV2(send_rank_ids, send_lens, recv_rank_ids, recv_lens, data_format, group=GlobalComm.WORLD_COMM_GROUP)

NeighborExchangeV2 is a collective communication operation.

NeighborExchangeV2 sends data from the local rank to ranks in the send_rank_ids, as while receive data from recv_rank_ids. Please refer to the tutorial examples below to learn about how the data is exchanged between neighborhood devices.

Note

This operator requires a full-mesh network topology, each device has the same vlan id, and the ip & mask are in the same subnet, please check the details .

Parameters

• send_rank_ids (list(int)) – Ranks which the data is sent to. 8 rank_ids represents 8 directions, if one direction is not send to , set it -1.

• recv_rank_ids (list(int)) – Ranks which the data is received from. 8 rank_ids represents 8 directions, if one direction is not recv from , set it -1.

• send_lens (list(int)) – Data lens which send to the send_rank_ids, 4 numbers represent the lens of [send_top, send_bottom, send_left, send_right].

• recv_lens (list(int)) – Data lens which received from recv_rank_ids, 4 numbers represent the lens of [recv_top, recv_bottom, recv_left, recv_right].

• data_format (str) – Data format, only support NCHW now.

• group (str, optional) – The communication group to work on. Default: GlobalComm.WORLD_COMM_GROUP , which means "hccl_world_group" in Ascend, and "nccl_world_group" in GPU.

Inputs:

• input_x (Tensor) - The Tensor before being exchanged. It has a shape of \((N, C, H, W)\).

Outputs:

The Tensor after being exchanged. If input shape is \((N, C, H, W)\), output shape is \((N, C, H+recv\_top+recv\_bottom, W+recv\_left+recv\_right)\).

Raises

• TypeError – If group is not a string or any one of send_rank_ids, recv_rank_ids, send_lens, recv_lens is not a list.

• ValueError – If send_rank_ids or recv_rank_ids has value less than -1 or has repeated values.

• ValueError – If send_lens, recv_lens has value less than 0.

• ValueError – If data_format is not “NCHW”.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend

Examples

Note

Before running the following examples, you need to configure the communication environment variables.

For the Ascend devices, users need to prepare the rank table, set rank_id and device_id. Please see the rank table Startup for more details.

For the GPU devices, users need to prepare the host file and mpi, please see the mpirun Startup .

For the CPU device, users need to write a dynamic cluster startup script, please see the Dynamic Cluster Startup .

This example should be run with 2 devices.
