1.0.0 Initial version

HCOM supports the following features:

1. The underlying layer of HCOM supports multiple types of NIC hardware and communication protocols (such as RDMA, TCP, SHM, and UB). It shields the differences between different types of hardware or transmission protocols and provides a uniform API for developers. In addition, HCOM provides QoS capabilities (such as flow control, fault detection, and message retransmission) and authentication and encryption capabilities for developers to use.

2. HCOM achieves ultimate performance through the combination of software and hardware. For some common NIC models (such as MLX5), the hardware acceleration feature is enabled. For different scenarios, the software implements acceleration features such as multi-thread management, RNDV (Rendezvous protocol, used in large-packet scenarios), and MultiRail (network port aggregation to fully utilize network bandwidth).
