From 6a3b248fc1a9ab9f2bd795ee3f7de0492930dc31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ananth Subramaniam Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 13:37:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/21] feat: topology-aware inference placement for non-colocated vLLM Hand-port of the topology-aware actor placement feature, combining the net effect of upstream commits 8bd2417f7 (NVLink-aware training) and 2c2b9f60 (topology-aware inference placement). The topology logic is grafted onto the existing setup shape directly so it doesn't carry along the surrounding NeMo Gym reservation block from the source branch. virtual_cluster.py: add NVLINK_DOMAIN_*/TOPO_RANK_* constants and DEFAULT_PORT_RANGE_*, get_ray_cluster_topology(), select_segment_nodes(), _sort_bundle_indices_by_topology(); replace GetGPUIDActor with a _get_gpu_id_info Ray task that also returns (nvlink_domain, topo_rank); add port_range_low/high, segment_size, node_resource_constraints params and _nvlink_domain_per_bundle_index state to RayVirtualCluster; merge node_resource_constraints into bundle specs; topology-aware _get_sorted_bundle_indices. vllm_generation.py: add init_cluster_placement_groups staticmethod for deterministic PG ordering when other components compete for Ray resources; add topology arguments to allocate_worker_groups and warn when a model-parallel group straddles NVLink domains. grpo.py: read cluster.segment_size, build node_resource_constraints from get_ray_cluster_topology()/select_segment_nodes() in non-colocated setup, relocate inference cluster creation, call VllmGeneration.init_cluster_placement_groups so inference PGs claim domain-aligned nodes first. ray.sub: write topology_probe.sh that parses ClusterUUID from nvidia-smi -q and topo_rank from SLURM_TOPOLOGY_ADDR, source it before each ray start, and register nvlink_domain_/topo_rank as Ray resources. Added \`export RAY_RESOURCES\` (missing in upstream 8bd2417f7), required so the variable propagates to the \`bash /launch-head.sh\` child invocation.

It now uses the surviving _get_gpu_id_info task. - SGLang placement becomes topology-aware on topology-probed clusters; without NVLink-domain resources it falls back to the identical (node_id, gpu_id) ordering, so behavior is unchanged on non-topology clusters (incl.

This reproduces on main and is not caused by this branch - it is the same environment failure that prompted the temporary SGLang test skip in #2881. Skip the five sglang unit-test modules that launch a real server: test_sglang_generation, test_sglang_launch, test_sglang_worker_init, test_sglang_worker_memory, and test_weight_update_real. The router-only and utils smoke tests are left enabled since they do not start a server.
