5.18. Driver and utilities
1.1.3
New features
IPUoF client: Add
get_contiguous_remote_buffer()
to decrease host memory usage.This allows remote buffers to exist only on the IPU-Machine, reducing the memory footprint on the host.
Poplar will make use of this feature where it can.
Fixed data-integrity check for
gc-iputraffictest --all-links
where one IPU wasn’t correctly checked in certain cases.
Bug Fixes
Capture correct clock speed on Bow machines.
IPUoF: Add
serverHost
to error message when failing to interact with V-IPU server.NLC error count totals are accumulated only when the link is up.
Other improvements
IPUoF client: Add destination IP address to all client log messages.
Each IPU issues a detach mailbox command. This is to support power-saving modes on Bow-2000 systems.
Remove the
IPUResource::writeTileMemory
public function.Remove functions from GCDA that assume a default IPU.
