For similar reasons as documented in the
[Sync Streams]note. For a current example,ProcessGroupNCCL::allgathermust also callrecordStreamand does so already.The output tensor is created on the default stream (by the application). NCCL/RCCL internally uses another stream (i.e., ncclStream). If we do not record the output tensor on the ncclStream, there is a chance that the output tensor might be deallocated while NCCL/RCCL is using it.
The application is not aware of the ncclStream since it's internal to ProcessGroupNCCL. So, the application cannot record the output tensor on the ncclStream.
