This is a WIP PR to add tests for various
ncclutility routines inpylops_mpi.utils._ncclfor primitive communication calls.The need for this tests stems from the realization that if we pass
send_bufof different size tonccl_allgatherwe get a deadlock... so we should make sure to check and raise an error before this happens.Note that the last test is currently commented out because mpiexec will hang if running this test - I believe this is due to the fact that
nccl_comm.allGatherdoes not cope withsend_bufof different size between ranks
