):
    """
    Usually, checking if P2P access is enabled can be done by
    `torch.cuda.can_device_access_peer(src, tgt)`. However, sometimes
    the driver might be broken, and `torch.cuda.can_device_access_peer(src, tgt)`
    returns `True` even if P2P access is not actually possible.
    See
    https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/direct-gpu-gpu-communication-does-not-seem-to-work-properly/283264/10
    Therefore, we have to perform a real P2P access to check if it is actually
    possible.

    Note on p2p and cuda IPC:
    Usually, one process uses one GPU:
    GPU src --> cuda context src --> tensor src --> process src

    We need to combine p2p and cuda IPC, so that:
    GPU src --> cuda context src --> tensor src --> process src
                                      |shared|
    GPU tgt --> cuda context tgt --> tensor tgt --> process tgt
    That is to say, process src creates a tensor in GPU src, passes IPC handle to
    process tgt, and process tgt accesses the tensor in GPU tgt. Any operation on the
    tensor in process tgt will be reflected in the tensor in process src, because
    they are the same memory segment.
    It is important to note that process tgt accesses the tensor in GPU tgt, not
    GPU src. That's why we need p2p access.

    The most time-consuming part is the process creation. To avoid creating
    processes for every pair of GPUs, we use batched testing. We create two
    processes for testing all pairs of GPUs in batch. The trick is to reset
    the device after each test (which is not available in PyTorch).

# why do we need this cache?
# we are testing peer-to-peer (p2p) access between GPUs,across processes.
# if we test it every time, it will be very slow, because we need to create
#  N * N * 2 processes, where N is the world size. This is very slow.
# to reduce the time, we use a cache file to store the p2p access status.
# the cache file is generated by the master process if it does not exist.
# then all the processes can read the cache file to check the p2p access status.
# Note that the cache file is suffixed by the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES, so that we
#  can have different cache files for different CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES settings,
#  e.g. used by different aphrodite engines. The device id in the cache file is
#  a **local** device id, i.e. from 0 to num_dev-1, where num_dev is the number
#  of visible devices in the aphrodite engine.
