Description

Hi, thanks for this great open-source project.

I have noticed that the simulator skips the broadcast collective ops in my workloads. When I looked at the Workload.cc file ( lines 1134 - end ) in the initialize_workload function, it seems that there is a parser for each type of collective except broadcast. Is that intentionally? if yes, can you please explain why?

Thanks in advance

Research direction

Start in Workload.cc at lines 1134 through the end of initialize_workload, and compare the existing parsers for each collective operation. Trace how broadcast operations are represented in the workload input and confirm that completed handling causes them to be included rather than skipped.
