Explanation
The description clearly explains the problem, solution, scope, API compatibility impact, and test coverage. It also documents unavailable local test dependencies and outstanding performance measurements. The template's PR Checklist is not included, and the test section is titled "Tests" instead of "Test Coverage," but the required technical information is mostly present.

Base's native lookup covers buckets 1..8192 only, so inputs of 16384+ tokens have no tuned result and base runs NCCL_SYMMETRIC there.

Fixed the PR-related failures from CI #68675 and rebased onto main (875c4c9). Head is now 2fc0ec0. The bucket-test fixture was querying CUDA device metadata on CPU-only workers. It now mocks those two metadata queries while keeping the real autotuner and native bucket operators. The engine test also called _init_max_num_tokens, which the upstream refactor removed; it now exercises _init_model_capacity and the real token-budget resolver. The new C++ files use the full Apache license header accepted by the release checker. Formatting, lint, and diff checks passed. Runtime verification is pending the new CI run; these local checks do not establish that the tests pass. |

…d token budget Size AllReduce tuning buckets from the resolved token budget so large prefill operations can use measured tactics instead of falling outside the fixed table and defaulting to NCCL_SYMMETRIC. Configure power-of-two buckets plus the exact ceiling before warmup, using max_num_tokens (the larger encoder or decoder budget for encoder-decoder models). C++ owns bucket generation and lookup so Python profiling and native inference use the same mapping. Initialize buckets on demand and include the range in the profiling cache key. Keep skip-sweep profiling consistent with lookup, and retain the existing fallback for out-of-range inputs. Add 11 CPU regression tests covering bucket boundaries, cache behavior, profiling, and initialization. Signed-off-by: Dan Hansen <218031328+dhansen-nvidia@users.noreply.github.com>
…p fixtures The cleanup tests bypass the engine constructor. Provide llm_args with autotuning disabled so the new bucket configuration step can return before runner warmup, leaving the cleanup assertions unchanged.

Extend AllReduce autotuning buckets through the engine's resolved
max_num_tokens, so larger prefill operations can use measured tactics rather than fall back toNCCL_SYMMETRICafter a cache miss.Previously, native lookup covered token counts through 16383. With these changes, C++ defines the buckets and Python uses that same definition for profiling. The range follows the post-clamp token budget, with an exact bucket at the ceiling; inputs above it still fall back rather than reuse a tactic measured for a smaller message. This does not add encoder or vision tuning passes.
The bucket list is part of the Python cache identity, so changing the range causes affected AllReduce entries to be re-profiled. Python and native code must come from a matching build; the old fallback for missing native bucket APIs has been removed.
[https://nvbugs/6227108]
Tests
Native cache lifecycle and boundary tests use the new
allreduceTacticCacheTesttarget. Python integration tests are intests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_allreduce_tuning_buckets.py, with engine configuration and dispatch coverage intest_model_engine.py.Formatting, lint, and
git diff --checkpassed after rebasing. CMake formatting passed under Python 3.14; the OpenEngine bindings check was skipped. The new C++ and Python tests have not run locally because this host lacks PyTorch/pytest, CUDA headers, and a configured native build. Bucket-fix-only performance and warmup-time measurements are still needed.
