Coding standards, frameworks, refactoring, and code review (15.8K skills)
Implement structured telemetry, such as counters and events, from DOCA applications to external consumers. Guides publishing API selection, schema and source setup, build and test workflows, and debugging lifecycle errors or reports that never reach the receiver.
Read hardware counters, values describing device activity, from BlueField or ConnectX in a DOCA application. The skill guides supported-counter checks, reader setup, sampling, and error handling across six domains, including PCC, DPA, PHY, and PCI.
Build and troubleshoot NVMe-oF storage targets that expose local disks over a network using DOCA STA. Guides device support checks, I/O queue sizing, and error diagnosis on BlueField or ConnectX hardware.
Derive HSB Sensor RX packetizer settings from sensor data widths, stream counts, and rearrangement needs. Produce SystemVerilog configuration lines or a YAML handoff, with explanations of how the chosen values shape data handling.
Helps developers offload remote memory operations from HPC, UCX, or MPI applications to a BlueField DPU, a processor for infrastructure tasks. Covers host-side DOCA UROM setup, supported-operation discovery, completion handling, and error investigation.
Generate a SystemVerilog top-level scaffold from a validated HOLOLINK_def.svh file. The output declares HSB signals, instantiates HOLOLINK_top, and leaves integration TODOs, using current IP source or bundled references for supported revisions.
Build Holoscan SDK 5.x from a selected tag, commit, or development branch using its run wrapper. Check prerequisites, choose build options, preserve existing changes, and verify the result with example tests for SDK development or Early Access features.
Assess whether a DOCA application needs low-level communication controls beyond its higher-level APIs. For those cases, guide queue configuration, libibverbs migration, and error diagnosis using installed headers, version checks, and device capability queries.
Find and run Holoscan Sensor Bridge example applications that match a connected development kit, board, software version, and sensors. Monitor timed runs, investigate failures, suggest code or environment changes, and summarize the session.
Install Holoscan SDK 5.x Python packages in an isolated environment after checking platform and CUDA 13 requirements. Choose the full stack or matching components, then verify dependencies, imports, and a release-matched example pipeline.
Generate, validate, compare, and explain HSB IP configuration files in HOLOLINK_def.svh. Use bundled scripts to check configuration macros, report errors and warnings, and identify meaningful changes between files while explaining how settings affect ports.
Check whether a requested Holoscan SDK 5.x release supports Conda installation. When packages are unavailable or unconfirmed, find an alternative installation method that preserves the requested SDK version and C++ or Python requirements.
Develop messaging between a host and BlueField using DOCA Comch. Guides server and client setup, selection of simple messaging or higher-throughput data transfer, capability checks, and diagnosis of connection, permission, and API errors.
Develop host-side applications that run work on BlueField's DPA, a data-path processor. Load compiled application images, launch kernels, observe completion, check supported features, and investigate errors involving hardware capabilities or DOCA and DPACC compatibility.
Build custom emulated PCIe devices that a host recognizes as peripherals while BlueField DPU code handles their operation. Get guidance on DOCA sub-library selection, capability checks, setup within an installed environment, and debugging device visibility or driver binding.
Build and troubleshoot data transfers with DOCA RDMA, which accesses remote memory over a network adapter. Start from installed samples, choose connection methods and permissions, check device capabilities, and investigate missing completions or queue errors.
Develop DOCA Rivermax applications that receive timing-sensitive video, audio, and other data over IP networks. Get guidance on receive stream setup, device capability checks, and troubleshooting errors or missing receive events.
Build DOCA applications that send and receive network packets directly from CUDA code on an NVIDIA GPU. Get guidance on connecting queues, registering GPU memory, checking hardware capabilities, and diagnosing GPUNetIO setup and runtime errors.
Guide DOCA Management programming for BlueField and ConnectX devices. Set up management contexts, query capabilities, change device settings, and investigate errors, using installed reference samples and checks before and after changes.
Configure DOCA GPI so CUDA kernels can initiate RDMA, direct remote memory access, without host CPU mediation. The skill guides channel setup, memory attachment, GPU handle handoff, library selection, and diagnosis of GPI errors.
Build packet steering rules, which direct network traffic by matching its properties, with DOCA Flow on NVIDIA NICs or DPUs. Adapt shipped samples, validate rules against installed APIs and hardware capabilities, and investigate counters or runtime errors.
Build and troubleshoot custom plug-ins for workloads that doca-bench cannot measure with its built-in modes. Use the shipped CUDA example to guide shared-library construction, check loading and version compatibility, and verify a small test before larger runs.
Connect existing DOCA Flow processing rules and resources to BlueField’s DPA processor. The skill guides export sequencing, operation queues, counter access, and entry or memory updates, and helps diagnose failures between host setup and device-side access.
Configure DOCA Ethernet packet queues on BlueField or ConnectX devices. Get guidance on choosing receive queue types, submitting packets for transmission, checking device capabilities, and diagnosing errors while managing receive and transmit queues separately.
