Abstract
In GPU clusters, high GPU utilization and efficient communication play an important role in the performance of the MPI applications. To improve the GPU utilization, NVIDIA has introduced the Multi Process Service (MPS), eliminating the context-switching overhead among processes accessing the GPU and allowing multiple intranode processes to further overlap their CUDA tasks on the GPU and potentially share its resources through the Hyper-Q feature. Prior to MPS, Hyper-Q could only provide such resource sharing within a single process. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of the MPS service on the GPU communications with the focus on CUDA IPC and host-staged copies. We provide evidence that utilizing the MPS service is beneficial on multiple interprocess communications using these copy types. However, we show that efficient design decisions are required to further harness the potential of this service. To this aim, we propose a Static algorithm and Dynamic algorithm that can be applied to various intranode MPI collective operations, and as a test case we provide the results for the MPI_Allreduce operation. Both approaches, while following different algorithms, use a combination of the host-staged and CUDA IPC copies for the interprocess communications of their collective designs. By selecting the right number and type of the copies, our algorithms are capable of efficiently leveraging the MPS and Hyper-Q feature and provide improvement over MVAPICH2 and MVAPICH2-GDR for most of the medium and all of the large messages. Our results suggest that the Dynamic algorithm is comparable with the Static algorithm, while is independent of any tuning table and thus can be portable across platforms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
