The reported `_time` metric is reduced in the same performance direction by applying `--reduce-op` to `1 / time`
and then converting the result back to seconds.

#### Metrics

rocHPL reports performance, time, and correctness metrics.
The metric key includes the configured HPL variant, process grid, matrix size, and block size:
`${tv}_P${P}_Q${Q}_N${N}_NB${NB}`.
The `tv` field is based on the rocHPL `T/V` value and includes an extended suffix for `L1`, `U`,
`Equilibration`, and `memory-alignment`. For example, `WC11R2R32_TTN8` uses transposed `L1`,
transposed `U`, no equilibration, and memory alignment `8`.

The reported `_time` metric is reduced in the same performance direction by applying `--reduce-op` to `1 / time`
and then converting the result back to seconds.

#### Metrics

rocHPL-MxP reports performance, time, and correctness metrics.
The metric key includes the configured HPL-MxP variant, process grid, matrix size, and block size:
`${tv}_P${P}_Q${Q}_N${N}_NB${NB}`.
The `tv` field is based on the rocHPL-MxP `T/V` value, for example `WC1`.

or [rccl-tests](https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/rccl-tests/tree/dc1ad4853d7ec738387d42a75a58a98d7af00c7b).
Support the following operations currently: allreduce, allgather, broadcast, reduce, reducescatter, alltoall.
Support both in-place and out-of-place measurements.

Support the following traffic patterns:
* `all-nodes`, validate the NCCL/RCCL performance across all VM nodes simultaneously.
* `pair-wise`, validate the NCCL/RCCL performance across VM pairs with all possible combinations in parallel.
* `k-batch`, validate the NCCL/RCCL performance across VM groups with a specified batch scale.
* `topo-aware`, validate the NCCL/RCCL performance across VM pairs with different distances/hops as a quick test.

If mpi mode is enable and traffic pattern is specified, the metrics pattern will change to `nccl-bw/${operation}_${serial_index)_${parallel_index):${msg_size}_time`
- `serial_index` represents the serial index of the host group in serial.
- `parallel_index` represents the parallel index of the host list in parallel.

### `ib-traffic`

#### Introduction

Measure the InfiniBand performance under multi nodes' traffic pattern.

The direction between client and server can be 'cpu-to-cpu'/'gpu-to-gpu'/'gpu-to-cpu'/'cpu-to-gpu'.

The traffic pattern is defined in a config file, which is pre-defined for one-to-many, many-to-one and all-to-all patterns.
Each row in the config is one round, and all pairs of nodes in a row run ib command simultaneously.

Besides the above three patterns, ib-traffic also supports topology-aware traffic pattern. To run ib-traffic with topology-aware
pattern, the user needs to specify 3 required (and 2 optional) parameters in YAML config file:
   - --pattern	 **topo-aware**
   - --ibstat	 **path to ibstat output**
   - --ibnetdiscover	 **path to ibnetdiscover output**
   - --min_dist	 **minimum distance of VM pairs (optional, default 2)**
   - --max_dist	 **maximum distance of VM pairs (optional, default 6)**

Each row in the config file has all VM pairs with a fixed distance (#hops). That's by default, 1st, 2nd, 3rd row has all VM pairs
with topology distance of 2, 4, 6, respectively.
