Build NCCL from source
This change switches the installation of
libnccl2andlibnccl-devfromapt-getto a source build.The prebuilt NCCL distributions available for an
apt-getinstall are not updated consistently across all OS version × CUDA version pairs, so this change ensures all of our images can use new NCCL releases as they come out.This change additionally updates the NCCL version to v2.21.5 on all of our current build targets.
This build supports the following (configurable) list of compute architectures by default: 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.6, 8.9, 9.0+PTX (matching our ml-containers PyTorch builds). This is slightly smaller than the default architecture support list, so the binaries are a bit smaller than the prebuilt distribution as well.
