Description

In the Paddle framework, DeviceEvent are currently created using the cudaEventDefault flag. However, these events are exclusively used for synchronization purposes and not for timing measurements. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to create these events with the cudaEventDisableTiming flag. This PR is intended to correct the flag used during CUDA event creation. Additionally, the existing default flag for DeviceEvent is ambiguously set to 0. To improve clarity and prevent misunderstandings, this default flag has been removed. Instead, the flag is now explicitly generated using the GenerateDeviceEventFlag() function.

@Xreki,

This PR should resolve the problem of NCCL not being able to overlap with compute kernels if tensor parallelism is enabled.

[eee4017]

It was mentioned that once the CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS flag is set, overlapping operations become entirely unfeasible. This limitation arises from the blocking introduced by the use of cudaEventDefault, since there's an inherent conflict between CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS and cudaEventDefault. We can configure the event to utilize cudaEventDisableTiming, so we could use CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS.

Origin Timeline（use paddle.ones to make all_reduce(dx) occupying SM before matmul(dw)）

Timeline with fix PR（remove paddle.ones, and export CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS=1）

It fixes the problem of mp_async_allreduce overlap failure.

[GhostScreaming]

This PR fix the problem of mp_async_allreduce overlap failure. PR-CI-ROCM-Compile compilation bug needs to be fixed.

This branch was cherry-picked by #57656. Close this PR.

Hi @eee4017 , #57656 是将该PR的修改cherry-pick到incubate/new_frl分支，develop分支仍需求合入该PR。

LGTM. Great work!
