[#20745][perf] DSpark: reset rolling-window state without a stream sync in prepare() - #20746
lucifer1004 wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
…eam sync in prepare() Assigning a Python scalar to an element of a CUDA tensor stages a pageable host-to-device copy and synchronizes the stream. DSparkSpecMetadata.prepare() did that every iteration for the scratch row, which blocked the host on the previous iteration's graph and defeated the overlap scheduler. Write the constants in place with zero_() / fill_(True) instead, also where a slot is released, assigned or seeded. Signed-off-by: Zihua Wu <13583761+lucifer1004@users.noreply.github.com>

Explanation
Issue
#20745requires that DSpark rolling-window state writes stop synchronizing the CUDA stream. The whole-PR diff (merge base af254e4 to head 2d95bb1) replaces every scalar CUDA-element assignment named in the issue with an in-place op:- prepare() scratch-row reset:
_ctx_len[scratch].zero_(),_valid_len[scratch].zero_(),_position_initialized[scratch].zero_(). - prepare() slot release for departed requests: the same three zero_() calls, plus the existing
_kv_windows[slot].zero_(). _assign_slot()reset path and new-slot path: the same zero_() calls._seed_context_windows():_position_initialized[slot].fill_(True).
The values written (0 and True) are the same constants as before, and the writes stay on the same stream. Host bookkeeping (_req_to_slot,_free_slots) is unchanged. The remainingchunk_positions[0].item()sync is not named in#20745and the PR states it is deferred, so it does not fail this check. Two new GPU tests in test_dspark_worker.py run prepare() and _assign_slot(reset=True) under torch.cuda.set_sync_debug_mode("error") and check that the scratch, released, and reassigned slots are cleared. Runtime results are author-reported and were not re-run here; the source diff matches the issue's requested change.

Explanation
The whole-PR diff touches only tensorrt_llm/torch/speculative/dspark.py and tests/unittest/torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_dspark_worker.py. In dspark.py, every hunk replaces a scalar CUDA-element write with an equivalent in-place zero() or fill(True) at the sites listed in
#20745, and the added comments explain the change. No API signatures, dependencies, configuration, or unrelated logic change. The two added tests directly verify the no-sync behavior and the reset results required by the issue. Benchmark and profiling claims in the PR description are not code changes and are not assessed here.

Nit: this fill_(True) isn't covered by the sync-debug tests because of the .item() a few lines up. Fine to leave for the follow-up that removes the .item(), at which point the whole method can run under set_sync_debug_mode("error").

Description
Fixes #20745.
DSparkSpecMetadata.prepare()resets the scratch row of the embedded DSpark worker on every iteration withcuda_tensor[i] = <python scalar>. PyTorch implements that as a pageable host-to-device copy followed bycudaStreamSynchronize.prepare()runs while the previous iteration's CUDA graph is still executing under the overlap scheduler, so the host blocks until that graph finishes. All the host work between that point and the next graph launch then becomes GPU idle time.This PR writes those constants in place with
.zero_()/.fill_(True)instead. That enqueues the same writes on the same stream, without a host sync. The same pattern is replaced where a slot is released or (re)assigned:prepare(), for requests that left the batch;_assign_slot();_seed_context_windows().Those sites stalled once per request arrival or completion.
Why this is safe under the overlap scheduler
_req_to_slot,_free_slots) does not change.batch_indices_cudaand_batch_to_slotare allocated per call from the caching host allocator. The allocator records the copy on the stream, so a buffer is not reused before its copy completes._advance_generation_state()already performs the same reset inside the captured graph with.zero_().Not changed
_seed_context_windows()still callschunk_positions[0].item()once per context chunk, which is a device-to-host sync on prefill iterations. Removing it needs a host-side source for the chunk's first position, so it is left for a separate change.Test Coverage

It runsprepare()undertorch.cuda.set_sync_debug_mode("error")with three things happening at once:It then checks that all three rows are zeroed. With the old code, the scalar assignments raise under the sync debug mode.
New
test_assign_slot_reset_does_not_synchronize_the_stream, same file: re-seeding a live request with_assign_slot(req_id, reset=True)under the sync debug mode, then checking that both the released and the reassigned slot are cleared.Both tests restore the caller's sync debug mode afterwards.
Ran the file on GPU: without the fix the two new tests fail with
RuntimeError: called a synchronizing CUDA operation(64 passed, 2 failed); with the fix all 66 tests pass.The existing prepare / slot tests in the same file still apply unchanged.
The file is already in L0 through the
unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnosticentry inl0_h100.yml, so no test-list change is needed.End to end: TP4/EP4 decode server, DSpark draft length 5, greedy, CUDA graphs, overlap scheduler on. Both arms use the same build and config on the same node; the only difference is this patch. The decode step is the server-side iteration period, measured with a prefix-cached prompt and 2048 output tokens per request.
cudaStreamSynchronizeper decode step (Nsight Systems, rank 0, 255 steps)After the patch the host's remaining wait is the overlap scheduler's own
cudaEventSynchronizein_update_requests, which waits for the previous step's sampled tokens while the next graph is already queued.Acceptance: on the single-request levels the after-arm read 2.97 / 3.12 / 3.31 tokens per step at 2k / 32k / 128k, against 3.32 / 3.24 / 3.49 before. Two runs of the unpatched build on the same node differed by up to 8 % on those same levels (3.43 vs 3.16 at 2k), because single-request acceptance is not deterministic (top-k ties). On the nine multi-request levels the two arms agree (3.29 vs 3.29).
Under the profiler, the unpatched build's step grows by 0.32 ms. The patched step does not grow, because the extra host-side tracing cost is now hidden behind the GPU.
