…aining Split 7/10 from NVIDIA#3386 (sequence packing / THD E2E support). Wires wrap_data_iterator into train_step/evaluate with dynamic num_microbatches, adds global seqlen-stats plumbing for FLOPs accounting, gates the HybridCP sampler, and restructures pretrain_gpt.forward_step for packed (THD) batches with padding mask. Original changes by @xiaoyao0115 in NVIDIA#3386. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: ilml <tolong@nvidia.com>
Follow-up to dropping the unused mirror field in NVIDIA#5903: the dataset config no longer carries this knob, so core_gpt_dataset_config_from_args must not set it. The scheduler is still selected from args.sequence_packing_scheduler via ModelParallelConfig. Original changes by @xiaoyao0115 in NVIDIA#3386. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: ilml <tolong@nvidia.com>

wrap_data_iteratorintotrain_step/evaluatewith dynamicnum_microbatches, adds global seqlen-stats plumbing for variable-length FLOPs accounting, gates the HybridCP sampler on the new scheduler flag, and restructurespretrain_gpt.forward_stepfor packed (THD) batches with padding mask.Part 07/10 of splitting #3386 (Add E2E support for THD format; dev-branch PR #2924). Original changes by @xiaoyao0115 in #3386 — split into functionally self-contained PRs to ease review. Hard dependencies (must merge first): #5902, #6589, #5905.
Split series (#3386)
Branches are stacked linearly (each on the previous) so every PR shows a clean own-diff once its base is retargeted to the copy-pr-bot
pull-request/<parent>ref; until then the Files-changed view of a stacked PR includes its ancestors — its own change is the last commit.Stacked on #5906.
