Description

Suggestion Description

According to examples, it uses torch.distributed.barrier (previously torch.cuda.synchronize and mpi's world_barrier) to handle synchronization.

Very noob question. Can we add hipIpcEventHandler for fine-grained control? I'm not sure whether torch APIs use hipIpcEventHandler under the hood.

Research direction

The issue names torch.distributed.barrier, torch.cuda.synchronize, and MPI's world_barrier, but no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the synchronization examples and existing HIP integration, then determine whether hipIpcEventHandler can be exposed safely; done requires an agreed API and validation of fine-grained synchronization behavior.
