doca-gpunetio
From the author
Use this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA GPUNetIO programming — wiring a CUDA kernel on an NVIDIA GPU to a doca-eth queue via doca_gpu_eth_rxq / doca_gpu_eth_txq, standing up the per-CUDA-device doca_gpu context, designing the persistent CUDA kernel that drains the GPU-visible queue, running the dual capability check (DOCA cap-query plus cudaGetDeviceProperties), registering cudaMalloc pools via doca_buf_arr_create_*, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns from the GPUNetIO API. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA GPUNetIO" or "persistent kernel" — typical implicit phrasings include "CUDA kernel reading packets directly from the NIC", "GPU-initiated networking on BlueField", "DOCA_ERROR_DRIVER on doca_gpu_create", "nvidia_peermem not loaded", "kernel-per-packet is too slow", or "which GPU supports GPU-side packet I/O". Refuse and route elsewhere for general CUDA programming, DOCA Ethernet queue bring-up, DOCA DPA, or DOCA install — those belong to other skills.

- doca-gpiNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill for hands-on DOCA GPI programming — wiring a GPU-Packet-Initiator context so a CUDA kernel drives RDMA queues directly from GPU memory without host CPU mediation. Covers picking GPI vs doca-gpunetio, the doca_gpi / domain / channel object model, the GPU-side handle handoff (doca_gpu_gpi_channel*), attaching GPU memory to a GPI domain, the domain and channel attribute objects, and debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_* calls. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA GPI" — implicit phrasings include "my CUDA kernel needs to post RDMA directly from GPU memory", "DOCA_ERROR_* from doca_gpi_gpu_channel_get", "how do I hand a GPU handle to my CUDA kernel", "how many channels can a GPI domain hold", or "GPU kernel driving RDMA without the host CPU on the path". Refuse and route elsewhere for the doca-gpunetio Send/Receive surface, the doca-rdma queue lifecycle, DPA-side initiation (doca-rdmi), or the CUDA programming model — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-gpunetio-ib-write-bwNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is building, running, or interpreting the doca/tools/gpunetio_ib_write_bw client+server benchmark — a CUDA kernel on the client posts RDMA WRITE work requests through the doca-gpunetio device-side surface to measure sustained GPU-driven WRITE bandwidth on a GPU+IB-device pair. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "doca-gpunetio-ib-write-bw" or "GPUNetIO" — typical implicit phrasings include "measure WRITE BW when the GPU posts the WRs", "BW swings between runs on the same flags", "is the NIC saturated or am I CPU-bound on the CUDA kernel", "meson compile fails for the GPUNetIO bw tool", "nvidia_peermem isn't picking up my GPU buffer", or "GPU-initiated WRITE throughput vs CPU-initiated perftest". Refuse and route elsewhere for general doca-gpunetio library work, DOCA install, the GPU-initiated WRITE latency analog, the CPU-initiated upstream perftest, or application-level end-to-end throughput — those belong to other skills.Writing★ 3.7K
- doca-bench-extensionNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the operator is authoring, building, loading, or debugging a custom doca-bench plug-in — a versioned shared library with DOCA_EXPERIMENTAL-marked C entry points that doca-bench loads to measure a workload class its built-in modes do not cover, with doca_bench_cuda as the shipped reference exemplar. Trigger even when the user does not say "doca-bench-extension" or "doca_bench_cuda" — typical implicit phrasings include "no built-in doca-bench mode fits my workload", "how do I benchmark a CUDA GPUNetIO RX/TX kernel", "doca-bench cannot find or load my custom .so", "extension exported symbols do not match what the parent expects", "soversion mismatch after a DOCA upgrade", or "my GPU kernel hangs because stop_flag was never set". Refuse and route elsewhere for questions about which built-in doca-bench mode to pick, DOCA GPUNetIO programming semantics, CUDA toolkit installation, or contributor work on in-tree extensions — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-dpaNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA DPA host-side work on a BlueField — creating the `doca_dpa` Core context, loading a DPACC-compiled DPA app image (`doca_dpa_app`), creating DPA threads, launching kernels via `doca_dpa_kernel_launch_update_*`, draining `doca_dpa_completion`, running `doca_dpa_cap_*` discovery, choosing between the DPA comm component (inter-DPA messaging) and the DPA verbs component (in-kernel RDMA), or debugging `DOCA_ERROR_*` from `doca_dpa_*`. Trigger even without "DOCA DPA" or "Data-Path Accelerator": "run compute on the DPA from my host", "DPA kernel hangs, no completion", "DOCA_ERROR_DRIVER on launch", "DOCA/DPACC version skew", or "does this BlueField expose a DPA". Route elsewhere for DPA-side kernel programming itself, DPACC compiler internals, host↔DPU messaging (doca-comch), host-side RDMA (doca-rdma), and GPU-initiated networking (doca-gpunetio).Media★ 3.7K
- doca-staNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on NVMe-over-Fabrics storage-target work on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC with DOCA STA — standing up a doca_sta DOCA Core context that accelerates the target-side NVMe-oF data path over RDMA, defining doca_sta_subsystem targets (NQN + namespaces) backed by local NVMe-PCI backend disks (doca_sta_be), checking device support via doca_sta_cap_is_supported, sizing the per-connection I/O queues, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* from a STA call. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA STA" — typical implicit phrasings include "my NVMe-oF Connect never completes", "Identify Controller times out over RoCE", "16 I/O queues at depth 1024 — does this BlueField support that", "offload the nvmf target onto the DPU", or "DOCA_ERROR_IO_FAILED on an NVMe read". Refuse and route elsewhere for DOCA install, raw RDMA data movement, raw packet I/O, flow-rule programming, or initiator-side / host NVMe stack work — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-commonNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill whenever the user is doing hands-on DOCA programming on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC and needs the foundation primitives every per-library context rests on — walking the doca_ctx lifecycle, discovering doca_dev / doca_devinfo and gating on doca_*_cap_* before trusting a feature, wiring doca_mmap / doca_buf_inventory / doca_buf for zero-copy I/O across libraries, driving doca_pe for completions, or DOCA Log's two-tier (--sdk-log-level vs app-side) model. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Common" — typical implicit phrasings include "my tasks submit but nothing completes", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from doca_ctx_start", "--sdk-log-level does nothing for my DOCA_LOG_DBG lines", "share a buf between doca_dma and doca_rdma", or "crashes far from the offending line". Refuse and route elsewhere for per-library questions in isolation (load doca-flow / doca-rdma / doca-eth alongside), installing DOCA (doca-setup), or doc lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map).Productivity★ 3.7K
