Summary

  • Bootstrap DSpark's absolute decode position on generation-only disaggregated workers from the runtime target positions.
  • Track the number of initialized entries in each DSpark rolling-window slot, mask unwritten circular-window entries, and reset/preserve that state across slot recycling and CUDA graph warmup.
  • Exclude speculative scratch blocks before trimming stale or cache-reused SWA blocks for KV transfer.

Root cause

Generation workers in disaggregated serving do not run prompt prefill. Their newly allocated DSpark slots therefore started at position zero and a start-position-only circular mask could expose rolling-window entries that had never been written. This degraded draft quality, including during the first 128 tokens.

Separately, SWA block lists may contain a speculative-capacity tail. Trimming the prompt prefix first at a page boundary could retain an uninitialized scratch block while discarding initialized prompt KV.

Validation

  • Pre-commit hooks: passed.
  • Targeted GPU tests: 95 passed covering DSpark CUDA graph capture/replay, position bootstrap, multi-accepted-token advancement, circular valid-length masking, slot lifecycle/reset, and V1/V2 SWA speculative-boundary transfer behavior.
  • GB200 full GSM8K (1,319 samples): 96.21 flexible-extract / 96.29 strict-match.
    • DEP8 context + DEP8 generation
    • max_batch_size=16, concurrency 16
    • DSpark draft length 5 and position bootstrap enabled
    • CUDA graph enabled
    • KV cache manager V2 on both context and generation
    • CuteDSL MegaMoE backend

The end-to-end run uses the TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc24 container. Since current main has newer disaggregation configuration fields than rc24, the run overlays the branch's DSpark/model changes and the rc24-compatible equivalent of the transceiver change. The current-head transceiver implementation is covered by the targeted tests above.

Dev Engineer Review

  • DSpark disaggregated decoding now initializes absolute positions from runtime target positions.
  • DSpark tracks valid rolling-window lengths and initialized slot state.
  • Slot reset, context seeding, stale-slot cleanup, and CUDA graph warmup restore this state consistently.
  • Attention masks unwritten rolling-window entries and supports optional valid_len.
  • SWA KV transfer removes speculative scratch blocks before stale or cache-reused block trimming.
  • Multi-beam requests reject speculative scratch blocks.
  • The updated APIs propagate valid_len through DSparkDraftModel.
  • Legacy masking remains unchanged when valid_len is not provided.
  • No configuration or test-list files changed.
  • No blocking correctness or consistency issue was identified.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added test coverage for partial rolling-window validity and draft-block indexing.
  • Added test coverage for slot reset, context seeding, stale-slot cleanup, CUDA graph replay, and disaggregated generation state.
  • Added test coverage for SWA block-cap trimming, packed beam tails, speculative-tail removal, multi-beam rejection, and D-Spark boundary handling.
  • No test functions were removed.
  • The PR reports 95 targeted GPU tests passing.
  • No corresponding tests/integration/test_lists/ coverage entries are provided for these test-code changes.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up.

Walkthrough

DSpark now tracks valid rolling-window lengths and initialized positions during batched generation. Attention masks unwritten circular-window slots. Sliding-window cache reuse removes speculative scratch blocks before stale-block trimming and validates multi-beam requests.

Changes

DSpark rolling-window validity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation state lifecycle
tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/dspark.py, tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_dspark_worker.py
DSparkWorker tracks valid window lengths and position initialization across slot cleanup, context seeding, generation, disaggregated execution, and CUDA-graph replay. Tests cover state reset, advancement, bootstrap, and propagation.
Valid-length attention masking
tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/dspark/attention.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_dspark.py, tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_dspark_cuda_graph.py
Batched DSpark attention accepts valid_len and excludes unwritten circular-window context slots. The model forwards the value through all stages. Tests verify slot ordering and draft-block retention.
Sliding-window cache selection
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_cache_reuse_adapter.py
Sliding-window processing removes speculative scratch blocks before stale prompt blocks. Multi-beam scratch-block cases assert. Tests cover cache boundaries and block trimming.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to e5d65

The PR restores disaggregated decoding accuracy and adds targeted coverage for slot lifecycle, masking, CUDA graph, and KV-transfer behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
