From fbd6d2d7cec58f2e17b16270d5e26d6840d45c1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oseltamivir <58582368+Oseltamivir@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 09:09:33 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/22] kimik3-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic-mtp: DSpark at the committed golden AL DSpark speculative decoding for the Kimi-K3 MXFP4 MI355X agentic recipe, following docs/PR_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md rule 10. Throughput points simulate acceptance with vLLM synthetic rejection sampling pinned to the committed golden AL 3.78 (golden_al_distribution/kimik3_dspark.yaml, kimi-k3 / thinking_on / num_speculative_tokens=7). The EVAL_ONLY point uses rejection_sample_method block for real target verification, since synthetic acceptance bypasses verification and would zero the eval score. A drift guard hard-fails if the pinned AL no longer matches the committed file or cannot be parsed, so a recollected curve cannot silently leave a stale constant in place. attention_backend FLASHINFER_MLA is dropped (absent on ROCm; verified by A/B), --max-num-seqs is min(CONC,32), TP=8 only, conc 1/4/8/16. --- .../agentic/kimik3_fp4_mi355x_mtp.sh | 288 ++++++++++++++++++ configs/amd-master.yaml | 28 ++ perf-changelog.yaml | 12 + 3 files changed, 328 insertions(+) create mode 100755 benchmarks/single_node/agentic/kimik3_fp4_mi355x_mtp.sh diff --git a/benchmarks/single_node/agentic/kimik3_fp4_mi355x_mtp.sh b/benchmarks/single_node/agentic/kimik3_fp4_mi355x_mtp.sh new file mode 100755 index 0000000000..38516f2710 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmarks/single_node/agentic/kimik3_fp4_mi355x_mtp.sh @@ -0,0 +1,288 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env bash +set -euo pipefail +set -x + +# Agentic trace replay benchmark for Kimi-K3 MXFP4 on MI355X (gfx950) using vLLM +# WITH DSpark speculative decoding (draft: Inferact/Kimi-K3-DSpark). +# +# Upstream recipe: https://recipes.vllm.ai/moonshotai/Kimi-K3?hardware=mi355x +# (vllm-project/recipes#684, models/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.yaml -> +# hardware_overrides.amd), which lists mi355x as verified.

That was wrong. SimpleCPUOffloadConnector requires prefix caching and logs Detected prefix caching disabled, disabling CPU offload since it requires prefix caching. so the 'passing' config was DSpark with NO offload while the sweep config still declared kv-offloading: dram - a silent mis-measurement. Caught before any sweep row landed; the flag is restored. Prefix caching is not the defect, it is the switch that activates the offload path. The defect is KV offload x DSpark, and it is not specific to one connector: vllm-simple (SimpleCPUOffloadConnector, 220 GB/rank) and vllm-native (OffloadingConnector / CPUOffloadingSpec, 2234 GiB) both reach CUDA graph capture 100% and then take the same 8-rank 'Memory access fault by GPU node-N on address 0x7..., Reason: Unknown' (UTCL2 client TCP) in _initialize_kv_caches. The non-MTP twin runs the same connector with prefix caching and completes warmup and profiling; the upstream config runs prefix caching with no connector and serves correctly. This recipe therefore cannot currently produce DSpark rows with KV offload.

Measured against BOTH offload implementations, so it is not one connector's bug: vllm-simple (SimpleCPUOffloadConnector, 220 GB/rank) and vllm-native (OffloadingConnector / CPUOffloadingSpec, 2234 GiB) each reach capture 100% and then take the same fault. DSpark is the differentiator - the non-MTP twin runs the same connector with prefix caching and completes warmup and profiling, and the upstream config runs prefix caching with no connector and serves correctly. Eliminated by direct measurement and NOT the cause: max-num-batched-tokens (16384/4096), rejection_sample_method (synthetic/block), draft attention_backend (unpinned/TRITON_MLA), max-num-seqs (1/128), --language-model-only, --max-model-len, AITER LINEAR+TRITON_GEMM+SKINNY toggles, cpu_bytes_to_use_per_rank (300/220 GB), HSA_NO_SCRATCH_RECLAIM (set/unset), and gpu-memory-utilization" - "--gpu-memory-utilization 0.88, below the 0.90 the non-MTP recipe uses and well below the upstream 0.95: only ~271 GiB of 287.98 GiB is free at the worker startup check (measured ceiling ~0.94, so 0.95 hard-fails every rank), and the resident DSpark draft consumes HBM on top of the ~195 GB/GPU of target weights (GPU KV drops 2,204,913 -> 1,723,308 tokens with the draft loaded). The extra margin also absorbs the few-GiB shortfalls seen when leaked VRAM lingers on a node"
