Unified Collective Communication (UCC)

UCC is a collective communication operations API and library that is flexible, complete, and feature-rich for current and emerging programming models and runtimes.

Design Goals

  • Highly scalable and performant collectives for HPC, AI/ML and I/O workloads
  • Nonblocking collective operations that cover a variety of programming models
  • Flexible resource allocation model
  • Support for relaxed ordering model
  • Flexible synchronous model
  • Repetitive collective operations (init once and invoke multiple times)
  • Hardware collectives are a first-class citizen
