## Feature Roadmap
### Support NCCL backend
Currently, fmoe depends on MPI to exchange the count of experts before using
NCCL p2p communication function to exchange features. As an NCCL communicator
can be established throught MPI, while MPI has to be initiated, The PyTorch
distributed module has to be initialzied by MPI backend. However, this limits
the capibility to use half tensors and conduct other computation. Therefore, a
solution will be appreciated if we can ue PyTorch's NCCL backend while passing
our mendatary information efficiently.
### Better All-to-all communication efficiency and computation performance
The dispatching process from source worker to the expert is time-consuming and
