WIP / draft — do not review. Stacked CRE EKS H100 work; not ready for human review.

Summary

  • Add the opt-in nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw catalog entry and exported check-name constant.
  • Document that no shipped overlay enables CRE NCCL yet.

Motivation / Context

Fixes: N/A
Related: stacked follow-ups on this branch (feat/cre-nccl-workloadrun-eks-h100, feat/cre-training-goodput-eks-h100)

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Documentation update

Component(s) Affected

  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)

Implementation Notes

Catalog-only. No validator Job implementation and no overlay opt-in. Recipes that do not list the check are unchanged.

Testing

# Local `go test` did not complete: GOPROXY downloads of k8s.io v0.36.4 reset on this machine.
# CI on this draft is the test gate.

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert

Rollout notes: No overlay references the new check. Skip-if-absent remains the runtime contract once the implementation PR lands.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
  • I added/updated tests for new functionality
  • I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S) — GPG signing info

Lock the nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw catalog name so overlays can opt in later
without shipping CRE in OSS recipes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the opt-in nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw performance validator for EKS H100 CRE WorkloadRun measurements. Exposes its catalog name, registers it with a 30-minute timeout, and verifies the embedded catalog entry. Updates user and contributor documentation for the validator and NCCL benchmark variants.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 42e5f

The PR adds an opt-in catalog entry, but the user documentation currently implies that the check is available when its implementation is not shipped yet. This could mislead users about supported validation behavior; the change is otherwise localized and mergeable with that documentation corrected or explicitly followed up.

An opt-in Cluster Readiness Engine (CRE) NCCL check is available for EKS H100.
It is not attached to shipped overlays while CRE remains private and the
result has not been correlated with the TrainJob path. The check requires a
same-named constraint:

| Check | What it measures |
|---|---|
| `nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw` | EFA bus bandwidth from a CRE `WorkloadRun` `BandwidthMeasurement`; AICR still asserts the transport from launcher logs |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe the check as planned, not available.

Line 56 says the check is available, but this PR adds only the catalog entry and exported name. It does not add the validator Job implementation. Lines 61-64 therefore describe behavior that the shipped code cannot provide. State that the entry is reserved for the future implementation, or document the private implementation that supports nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw.

Suggested wording update
-An opt-in Cluster Readiness Engine (CRE) NCCL check is available for EKS H100.
+The catalog reserves an opt-in Cluster Readiness Engine (CRE) NCCL check for
+future EKS H100 support. The validator Job implementation is not shipped yet.
