+- The "cuda" coll component provides CUDA-aware support for the reduction type collectives
+  with GPU buffers. This component is only compiled into the library when the library has
+  been configured with CUDA-aware support.  It intercepts calls to the reduction collectives,
+  copies the data to staging buffers if GPU buffers, then calls underlying collectives to do
+  the work.
