[https://nvbugs/7015107][fix] Run the vocab-parallel token exchange on NCCL - #21279
VocabParallelHead now creates its float32 pair exchange with tp_pair_exchange and AllReduceStrategy.NCCL instead of AllReduceStrategy.AUTO. The exchange stays separate from the model’s Lamport workspace, avoiding the reported mixed-dtype hang or stale-data risk at TP > 1. The change is limited to exchange strategy selection and helper reuse. Review finding counts and test execution results are unavailable.
QA Engineer Review
The modified unit test adds test_vocab_parallel_head_exchanges_over_nccl. It replaces AllReduce with a recorder and verifies that constructing a two-rank VocabParallelHead requests NCCL. The test is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml; no manual-QA list entry was found. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the strategy-selection behavior. Runtime mixed-dtype behavior is not established by this unit test.
Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/vocab_parallel.py: Verify that vocab-parallel token exchange uses NCCL and remains isolated from the model’s Lamport workspace.
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_vocab_parallel.py: The new test checks NCCL strategy selection at construction. It is listed in the l0_b200.yml CI test list, with no manual-QA listing found.
Description
VocabParallelHead (added in #20940) exchanges its per-shard (value, index) pairs with a float32 AllReduce on AllReduceStrategy.AUTO. AUTO can select the Lamport one-shot kernel, whose workspace is shared per mapping with the model's bf16 all-reduces. The Lamport kernels record the size to clear in elements of the previous call and convert it with the current call's element width, so a bf16 call followed by the fp32 exchange clears twice the bytes (spilling into the live buffer, and ranks wait forever), while the fp32 exchange followed by a bf16 call clears half (stale data reads as already arrived).
On GB300 with MiniMax-M3.1-Flash and its DSpark drafter at TP2/TP4, every serve with default configs hangs in warmup while the autotuner profiles the exchange right after the target's bf16 one-shot; with the target on NCCL, warmup passes but the drafter's own bf16 all-reduces still share the workspace and acceptance length varies from run to run.
This builds the exchange on NCCL through tp_pair_exchange, as the DSpark Markov chain exchange already does. A separate PR fixes the kernels to keep the clear size in bytes; once that lands, returning this exchange to AUTO is a perf choice, not a correctness one.
Test Coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_vocab_parallel.py::test_vocab_parallel_head_exchanges_over_nccl (new): the head builds its exchange on NCCL; fails on the AUTO exchange.
Existing tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_vocab_parallel.py and tests/unittest/_torch/multi_gpu/test_vocab_parallel_selection.py.
The float32 pair exchange in VocabParallelHead used AUTO, which shares the
Lamport all-reduce workspace with the model's bf16 all-reduces. That
workspace's clear size is counted in elements of the previous call, so
mixing dtypes hangs warmup or returns stale data at TP > 1.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.
VocabParallelHead now configures its pair exchange with NCCL instead of AUTO. A unit test records the strategy requested during construction and verifies NCCL for a two-rank mapping.

Summary
Select and test the exchange strategy tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/vocab_parallel.py, tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_vocab_parallel.py
VocabParallelHead requests AllReduceStrategy.NCCL for its pair exchange. A unit test checks the requested strategy for a two-rank mapping.
The change moves the vocab-parallel token exchange to NCCL, which avoids the reported Lamport workspace hang. However, existing multi-GPU MNNVL selection tests still expect an MNNVL exchange and will fail in CI. Update those tests before merging.

Update the multi-GPU tests for NCCL.
VocabParallelHead now always creates an NCCL exchange. The mnnvl=True cases still assert that mnnvl_allreduce is initialized, so TP2 and TP4 fail in _make_head before selection runs. Assert the NCCL behavior in this test, and retain MNNVL coverage through a separate exchange constructed with the MNNVL strategy.
