在上边的示例中，rank0会执行ncclGetUniqueId获取Id，然后通过mpi广播给其他rank，接下来看下UniqueId是怎么产生的。

ncclResult_t ncclGetUniqueId(ncclUniqueId* out) { NCCLCHECK(ncclInit()); NCCLCHECK(PtrCheck(out, "GetUniqueId", "out")); return bootstrapGetUniqueId(out);} |
然后看下ncclInit
首先执行initEnv，设置环境变量
然后执行initNet，用来初始化nccl所需要的网络，包括两个，一个是bootstrap网络，另外一个是数据通信网络，bootstrap网络主要用于初始化时交换一些简单的信息，比如每个机器的ip端口，由于数据量很小，而且主要是在初始化阶段执行一次，因此bootstrap使用的是tcp；而通信网络是用于实际数据的传输，因此会优先使用rdma（支持gdr的话会优先使用gdr）。

ncclResult_t initNet() { // Always initialize bootstrap network NCCLCHECK(bootstrapNetInit()); NCCLCHECK(initNetPlugin(&ncclNet, &ncclCollNet)); if (ncclNet != NULL) return ncclSuccess; if (initNet(&ncclNetIb) == ncclSuccess) { ncclNet = &ncclNetIb; } else { NCCLCHECK(initNet(&ncclNetSocket)); ncclNet = &ncclNetSocket; } return ncclSuccess;} |
bootstrapNetInit就是bootstrap网络的初始化，主要就是通过findInterfaces遍历机器上所有的网卡信息，通过prefixList匹配选择使用哪些网卡，将可用网卡的信息保存下来，将ifa_name保存到全局的bootstrapNetIfNames，ip地址保存到全局bootstrapNetIfAddrs，默认除了docker和lo其他的网卡都可以使用。
例如在测试机器上有三张网卡，分别是xgbe0、xgbe1、xgbe2，那么就会把这三个ifaname和对应的ip地址保存下来，另外nccl提供了环境变量NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME可以用来指定想用的网卡名，例如通过export NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME=xgbe0来指定使用xgbe0，其实就是通过prefixList来匹配做到的。

开始初始化通信网络
ncclNet_t结构体是一系列的函数指针，比如初始化，发送，接收等；socket，IB等通信方式都实现了自己的ncclNet_t，如ncclNetSocket，ncclNetIb，初始化通信网络的过程就是依次看哪个通信模式可用，然后赋值给全局的ncclNet。
首先执行initNetPlugin，查看是否有libnccl-net.so，测试环境没有这个so，所以直接返回。
然后尝试使用IB网络：
首先执行ncclNetIb的init函数，就是ncclIbInit

首先第三行通过wrap_ibv_symbols加载动态库libibverbs.so，然后获取动态库的各个函数。
然后通过wrap_ibv_fork_init避免fork引起rdma网卡读写出错。
后面会讲到ib网络也会用到socket进行带外网络的传输，所以这里也通过findInterfaces获取一个可用的网卡保存到ncclIbIfAddr。
通过ibv_get_device_list获取所有rdma设备到devices中，遍历devices的每个device，因为每个HCA可能有多个物理port，所以对每个device遍历每一个物理port，获取每个port的信息。
然后将相关信息保存到全局的ncclIbDevs中，比如是哪个device的哪个port，使用的是IB还是ROCE，device的pci路径，maxqp，device的name等，注意这里也有类似bootstrap网络NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME的环境变量，叫NCCL_IB_HCA，可以指定使用哪个IB HCA。
到这里整个初始化的过程就完成了，一句话总结就是，获取了当前机器上所有可用的IB网卡和普通以太网卡之后保存下来。
然后开始生成UniqueId

ncclResult_t bootstrapCreateRoot(ncclUniqueId* id, bool idFromEnv) { ncclNetHandle_t* netHandle = (ncclNetHandle_t*) id; void* listenComm; NCCLCHECK(bootstrapNetListen(idFromEnv ? dontCareIf : 0, netHandle, &listenComm)); pthread_t thread; pthread_create(&thread, NULL, bootstrapRoot, listenComm); return ncclSuccess;} |
ncclNetHandle_t也是一个字符数组，然后执行bootstrapNetListen。

static ncclResult_t bootstrapNetListen(int dev, ncclNetHandle_t* netHandle, void** listenComm) { union socketAddress* connectAddr = (union socketAddress*) netHandle; static_assert(sizeof(union socketAddress) < NCCL_NET_HANDLE_MAXSIZE, "union socketAddress size is too large"); // if dev >= 0, listen based on dev if (dev >= 0) { NCCLCHECK(bootstrapNetGetSocketAddr(dev, connectAddr)); } else if (dev == findSubnetIf) { ... } // Otherwise, handle stores a local address struct bootstrapNetComm* comm; NCCLCHECK(bootstrapNetNewComm(&comm)); NCCLCHECK(createListenSocket(&comm->fd, connectAddr)); *listenComm = comm; return ncclSuccess;} |
依次看下这三个函数，通过bootstrapNetGetSocketAddr获取一个可用的ip地址。

|
static ncclResult_t bootstrapNetGetSocketAddr(int dev, union socketAddress* addr) { if (dev >= bootstrapNetIfs) return ncclInternalError; memcpy(addr, bootstrapNetIfAddrs+dev, sizeof(*addr)); return ncclSuccess;} |
此时dev是0， bootstrapNetIfs是初始化bootstrap网络的时候一共找到了几个可用的网卡，这里就是获取了第0个可用的ip地址。
然后通过bootstrapNetNewComm创建bootstrapNetComm，bootstrapNetComm其实就是fd，bootstrapNetNewComm其实就是new了一个bootstrapNetComm。

struct bootstrapNetComm { int fd; }; |
通过createListenSocket启动socker server

创建监听fd，ip由localaddr指定，初始端口为0，bind时随机找一个可用端口，并通过getsockname(sockfd, &localAddr->sa, &size)将ip端口写回到localaddr，这里localaddr就是UniqueId。
到这里UniqueId也就产生了，其实就是当前机器的ip和port。
