  Description     : ROCm Communication Collectives Library

RCCL (pronounced "Rickle") is a library of collective communication routines
built on the AMD ROCm platform and optimized for discrete AMD GPUs. It
implements routines such as all-reduce, all-gather, reduce, broadcast,
reduce-scatter, gather, scatter and all-to-all. The library is optimized for
high bandwidth over channels including PCIe, xGMI, InfiniBand Verbs or TCP/IP
sockets and supports an arbitrary number of GPUs.

This library provides multi-GPU communication functionality that helps users
depending on NVIDIA's NCCL library to port their code to run on AMD GPUs. RCCL
is a dependency of both PyTorch and Tensorflow.

This package is part of AMD's ROCm stack and will be maintained under the
Debian AI team umbrella.
