Dev Engineer Review

KVCacheManagerV2 now subtracts the device quota from the shared memory budget on integrated GPUs. With no remaining headroom, it returns zero and skips host-tier allocation. Discrete-GPU behavior, explicit host_cache_size, and public APIs remain unchanged.

QA Engineer Review

Modified tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kvv2_host_tier_sizing.py. Added coverage for integrated-GPU budget charging and zero host-tier provisioning without headroom. Existing discrete-GPU, memlock, fallback, and rank-synchronization coverage remains. The suite is listed in the CI test-db/ lists for H100, A10, CPU, and B200. Coverage is sufficient.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py: Verify shared-memory accounting, zero-tier behavior, host-tier omission, and the diagnosable host_cache_size error path on integrated GPUs. Verify discrete-GPU and explicit host-cache sizing behavior remains unchanged.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kvv2_host_tier_sizing.py: Covers integrated-GPU sizing, no-headroom handling, discrete-GPU fallbacks, memlock limits, and distributed quota synchronization. The suite is listed in the CI test-db/ lists for H100, A10, CPU, and B200.

Description

KVCacheManagerV2 auto-provisions a pinned host cache tier sized
min(device_quota, SC_AVPHYS_PAGES / local_ranks * 0.5, RLIMIT_MEMLOCK * 0.8).
All three candidates assume host RAM is a pool separate from device memory. On an
integrated GPU (GB10 / DGX Spark) they are one physical LPDDR pool, so
SC_AVPHYS_PAGES reports bytes the device quota is about to consume:

KV cache manager v2 device quota set to 81.68 GiB 
KV cache manager v2 host cache quota set to 46.79 GiB

That is 128.5 GiB requested from a 119.69 GiB pool. HostMem is prefaulted and
page-locked, so the kernel OOM-kills the worker — by signal, so there is no Python
traceback, only an MPI "non-zero exit code" message.

Charge the device quota against mem_available when the two tiers share one pool,
gated on is_device_integrated(). When no headroom is left, provision no host tier
rather than falling back to the device quota — that fallback would request 2x the pool
and reinstate the OOM. Dropping the tier costs MAX_UTILIZATION suspend/resume its
spill target, but fails with a diagnosable error naming host_cache_size instead of a
SIGKILL.

This is the local_ranks == 1 variant of the double-count the rank-aware divisor
addressed for co-located ranks on GB300 NVL72. Discrete-GPU behavior is unchanged:
shares_device_memory defaults to False.

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kvv2_host_tier_sizing.py:

  • TestComputeAutoHostTierQuota::test_integrated_gpu_charges_device_quota_against_budget
  • TestComputeAutoHostTierQuota::test_integrated_gpu_without_headroom_provisions_no_tier

Existing cases in the same class cover the unchanged discrete-GPU path.

Walkthrough

Automatic host-tier sizing now detects integrated GPUs, charges device quota against shared memory, and returns zero when no host-tier headroom remains. Tests cover both shared-memory accounting and exhausted-memory behavior.

Changes

Host-tier sizing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared-memory quota calculation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py
_compute_auto_host_tier_quota accepts integrated-memory status, subtracts the device quota from available shared memory, and returns zero when no headroom remains. The KV cache manager passes is_device_integrated().
Integrated-GPU sizing tests
tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kvv2_host_tier_sizing.py
Tests verify that device and host quotas fit within shared memory and that no host tier is provisioned when the device quota exhausts the budget.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Suggested reviewers: brnguyen2

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3295b

Integrated-GPU host-tier sizing now avoids duplicating the device quota when no headroom remains, but multi-rank integrated deployments may still allocate cache tiers beyond the shared physical-memory budget. This should be resolved before merge.

- Line 276: Update the memory-budget calculation around mem_available so it
subtracts quota * local_ranks before dividing the remaining shared-memory budget
into per-rank host quota. Add an integrated-GPU test with local_ranks greater
than one that asserts local_ranks * (quota + host_quota) is no greater than
