From 35cc5551401e12b3b1515e34bdca849797485453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Chu Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 04:26:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] bench: add a decode-shaped CPU benchmark harness (gap, warm-up, park/wake) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The CPU scheduler campaign had two harness shapes and neither was honest about decode. `bench_generic`'s tight loop measures the one regime decode never occupies: with no gap between iterations the task pool's workers never park, so every dispatch lands on a spinning core. Its short default run also sits inside the pool warm-up transient, which on a 16-wide budget runs to several hundred iterations. Add `bench_decode_gap`, which runs any ONNX model with a configurable inter-token gap (mean, jitter, and busy/sleep/mixed kind), detects its own steady-state window instead of taking a guessed `--warmups`, and reports the counters that identify the scheduling regime: wall/CPU/RSS, per-thread context switches, and the task pool's own park/spin/dispatch counters. The ORT session is dropped after the parity check so the timed window is solo by construction rather than by remembering a flag (§38). Measurement logic lives in `decode_gap.rs` behind 31 unit tests. Two of those tests exist because the first working harness was confidently wrong: `/proc/self/status` has no CPU accounting at all, and its context-switch counters describe only the leader thread — which made a pool of sixteen parking workers indistinguishable from a spinning one at every gap. Extract the model I/O and parity paths shared with `bench_generic` into `model_io.rs` so the two harnesses cannot silently diverge on input synthesis. Verified behaviour-preserving: both binaries report bit-identical parity fingerprints for the same model. Findings recorded in §41 of the campaign ledger, including: the pool stops spinning between 200us and 500us (`MAX_SPIN`, confirmed independently by the `task_runtime_latency` micro-benchmark); the ~2x-budget unnamed threads are our own eagerly-built global Rayon pool, and the ORT session contributes zero threads; median latency under 4 concurrent sessions degrades 1.9x while p90 degrades 4.6x, which the dispatch-level micro-benchmark cannot see. No kernel or scheduler behaviour changes here. The adaptive spin window is deliberately left alone: it costs +0.4 CPU-ms per iteration at a decode-shaped 100us gap, and only saturates near 6.5 CPU-ms at gaps decode does not have.

Measurement primitives for a *decode-shaped* model-level benchmark. +//! +//! # Why this exists +//! +//! Every model-level number this campaign published came from one of two +//! harness shapes, and both of them are dishonest about decode in opposite +//! directions: +//! +//! * **Few runs in a tight loop** (the `bench_generic` default of 7-10) sits +//! entirely inside the thread-pool warm-up transient. A 32-wide decode pool +//! needs roughly 60 inferences before its marginal cost stops falling, so a +//! 7-run measurement reports pool construction and calls it inference. +//! * **Many runs in a tight loop** (400+) leaves the transient but replaces it +//! with the opposite bias: with no gap between iterations the workers never +//! park, so every dispatch hits an already-spinning pool. That is the one +//! regime real decode never occupies. +//! +//! Real decode is neither. It has microsecond-to-millisecond serial stretches +//! between parallel regions -- sampling, KV bookkeeping, the host side of the +//! next token -- and the interesting scheduler behaviour is precisely what +//! happens across those gaps: whether a worker is still spinning when the next +//! fan-out arrives, or has parked and must be woken through the kernel. +//! +//! This module supplies the pieces to measure that shape at the model level: +//! a configurable gap distribution, warm-up that is defined by observed +//! steady state rather than by a guessed constant, and the process counters +//! that distinguish "spun" from "parked". +//! +//! The equivalent micro-benchmark already exists in the CPU EP's +//! `task_runtime_latency` integration test, which sweeps `GAPS_US` against a +//! bare fan-out. That test answers "what does a dispatch cost after a gap of +//! N microseconds"; this module answers "what does a *model* cost when it is +//! run the way decode runs it", and the two are cross-validated against each +//! other in [`crate::decode_gap::tests`] and in the harness's `--validate` +//! mode. + +use std::time::{Duration, Instant}; + +/// How the harness spends the gap between two model iterations. +#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)] +pub enum GapKind { + /// Spin without yielding, the way a serial stretch of host-side decode + /// work does.

The reusable pieces live in +`crates/onnx-genai-bench/src/decode_gap.rs` behind unit tests. + +Four things it does that the previous harnesses did not: + +* **The gap is a distribution, not a constant.** `--gap-us` sets a mean, + `--gap-jitter` a uniform spread, `--gap-kind` chooses busy-spin (host-side + compute), sleep (blocking on a tokenizer), or an alternation of the two. A + *fixed* gap can sit permanently just inside or just outside the pool's spin + window and report a clean number for a bimodal reality; jitter reports the + mixture. +* **Warm-up is detected, not guessed.** Every iteration is recorded from the + first, and the reported window begins where the series stops trending + (`steady_state_start`). A run whose series never settles says so instead of + quietly reporting its own transient. This matters because warm-up length is + a function of pool width — one `--warmups` constant cannot be right for both + a 4-wide and a 32-wide pool, and choosing it per-arm by hand is how an A/B + ends up comparing a warm arm against a cold one. +* **Park/wake is counted, not inferred.** Voluntary context switches and the + task pool's own `parks`/`spin_hits` counters are reported per iteration. +* **The ORT session is dropped before timing.** §38 established that a + co-resident ORT pool spin-waits long after its last op and depresses a + native arm measured beside it by up to 4.8x. Here parity is judged once, + against ORT, and then the ORT session goes out of scope — so the timed + window is solo *by construction* rather than by remembering a flag. + +### 41.2 Two measurement bugs, found by the harness in itself + +Recorded because both would have produced confident, wrong, publishable +numbers, and neither is obvious. + +**CPU time is not in `/proc/self/status`.** The first working version reported +`0.000 cpu-s` for every run. `status` carries RSS, thread count and context +switches but no CPU accounting at all; CPU has to come from `/proc/self/stat`. +A harness that reads one file and assumes it has everything reports a +confident zero. + +**Context-switch counters in `/proc/self/status` describe only the leader +thread.** This one is worse, because the number it produces is plausible. With +the process file, park/wake came out at ~1.2 per iteration at *every* gap from +0 to 20 ms — which would mean the pool's behaviour is independent of how long +it sits idle, i.e. that the adaptive spin window does nothing. Summing +`/proc/self/task/*/status` instead gives the real picture below. A pool of +sixteen workers parking on every dispatch moves the *leader's* counter by +approximately nothing. + +Both are covered by regression tests, the second by parking a spawned thread +deliberately and asserting the sampler sees it (sampled while the thread is +still alive — an exited thread takes its counters with it). + +The steady-state detector also went through three formulations before it was +right, and the first two are worth naming because both are natural and both +are wrong. Comparing each window against *the final window* lets a +monotonically rising series be declared steady at the very end, because the +final window always matches itself. Requiring *every overlapping* window to +match makes the verdict hostage to a single blip anywhere in the run, since +one outlier appears in `window` consecutive windows — on this host that +reported "never settled" for series that plainly settled.

That is exactly `MAX_SPIN`, the +task runtime's adaptive spin ceiling (`pool.rs`: `MIN_SPIN` 20 us doubling to +`MAX_SPIN` 500 us on a hit, halving on a park). The policy behaves as +documented, which had never been confirmed at the model level. + +**Cross-validation against the micro-benchmark.** The CPU EP's +`task_runtime_latency` integration test sweeps the same gaps against a bare +fan-out.

Two harnesses, two levels, same threshold. + +### 41.4 The cost of spinning, and the cost of not + +Converting the table above to CPU per iteration (`cpu-per-wall` x iteration +wall, sleep gaps, so all of it is the pool): + +| gap | CPU-ms per iteration | over the 0-gap baseline | +| --- | --- | --- | +| 0 us | 12.53 | — | +| 100 us | 12.92 | +0.4 | +| 500 us | 16.18 | +3.7 | +| 2000 us | 16.70 | +4.2 | +| 20000 us | 18.98 | +6.5 | + +Idle spin costs roughly **`workers` x `spin window`** of CPU per idle period, +saturating near 6.5 CPU-ms — 16 workers holding cores for up to 500 us before +parking. At a *decode-shaped* gap of 100 us it costs +0.4 CPU-ms, which is +0.4% of the ~10 ms this cell already spends. The spin window is cheap where +decode actually lives and expensive only where decode does not. + +That is the argument against reflexively shortening it, and it is worth +stating plainly because the opposite conclusion looks obvious from the +saturated number alone. + +### 41.5 The thread census: three pools, and the unnamed ones are ours + +The long-standing open item was a thread count that ran to roughly twice the +configured budget, with the excess unnamed and unattributed.

The band is **tighter than the 7-run harness's 0.72x–1.20x**, +so steady-state detection genuinely improves precision.

Any within-process A/B on this codebase carries an ~8% tailwind for +whichever arm runs second, which is larger than most effects worth chasing. + +### 41.9 What this leaves open + +* The **4→8 budget scaling stall** (1.07x for 2x the threads).

Making it lazy means guaranteeing every + global-Rayon entry point in the default build routes through a guard first, + and getting that wrong silently un-bounds prefill parallelism — so it is + named here as a measured cost with a known shape, not attempted as a + drive-by. +* Nested dispatch now shows **111 of 915 dispatches declined** at 16 outer + dispatchers, where #1377 measured zero at the same width.

From cb62fe0f8c0f8eb86618daebb5ac5523e65f6c04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Chu Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 04:39:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/8] docs(bench): retract the 4->8 budget stall, explain what it actually was MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 4-to-8 scaling stall reported in §41.6 does not reproduce. Chasing it turned up something more useful than the claim it retracts. Re-measuring budget 4 with the same binary and flags gives 1.858/1.847/1.861 in one session and 2.766/2.761/2.756 in another. Four samples inside 1% within a session — tighter than the null control — and 1.48x apart across sessions. Each reading is genuinely steady; they are steady at different values, so steady-state detection does not catch this. The cause is the budget's own affinity confinement. `select_budget_cpus` is deterministic: budget 4 always takes CPUs [0, 2, 4, 6]. Those cores were 22-34% busy with co-tenant work during the slow session. A budgeted process cannot migrate away from a busy core, because migration is the thing the budget gave up. Three consequences now written down: a narrower budget is *more* volatile on a shared host, not less; budgeted processes collide deterministically on the same low-numbered cores rather than spreading; and low-budget cells in any matrix measured across sessions carry co-tenant load as signal. Measured within one session, 4->8 is 1.57x — sublinear and unremarkable. The original table is kept as measured rather than silently corrected, since how the number dissolved is the part worth having.

From 3c122291d57800fdf36fb3cf944e462657ff27de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Chu Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:39:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 5/8] feat(bench): attribute the route so a zero pool row cannot be read as a bug The smoke run of this harness reported `0.00 dispatches/iter` while burning 7.85 cpu-s per wall-s. Eight cores of work and a row of zeroes from the instrument that is supposed to explain it is exactly what a dead counter looks like, so I chased it as one. It is not: an fp32 `MatMul` fans out on rayon, not on `task_runtime`, so the zero is true and the harness was measuring a pool the model never touched. That is the defect worth fixing. The pool counters answer "how hard did `task_runtime` work"; they cannot answer "did this model use `task_runtime` at all", and the two questions produce identical output. Only one of them means the harness is broken, and the reader had no way to tell which. So the run now attributes its own routes through `dispatch_ledger`, and a zero-dispatch row is annotated with which of the two cases produced it: native pool: 0.00 dispatches/iter 0.02 parks/iter ... ATTRIBUTION: this model never dispatched to task_runtime -- the pool row above is a true zero, not a dead counter. route: MatMulF32 -> Native (f32, 8 calls, up to 8 threads) Recording is on for a single attribution inference and never during the timed window, since `record_with` builds an `Observation` per dispatch. Both branches are proved rather than asserted: - ledger on, 8-layer model -> `MatMulF32 -> Native, 8 calls, 8 threads` - ledger on, 4-layer model -> `MatMulF32 -> Native, 4 calls, 2 threads` - `enable()` commented out -> "zero dispatches AND zero routes recorded ... this is a dead instrument, not a measurement -- do not quote the pool row" The last one is the point: without it the dead case and the true-zero case print the same thing. The route line also makes each run state whether it was pure native, MLAS or an ORT fallback, which until now was an assumption carried in the operator's head rather than a column in the output.

The concurrent arm called a good measurement dead. Attribution was only wired into the single-session path. `run_concurrent_native` left `routes` empty, so `--sessions 2` on any model that does not use `task_runtime` -- which includes every fp32 model, since `MatMul` fans out on rayon -- printed "zero dispatches AND zero routes recorded ... this is a dead instrument, not a measurement". The run was fine; the verdict was wrong. A false "do not quote this" is no better than a false number. Attribution now runs on one session *before* the barrier region rather than inside it: the ledger takes a mutex per observation, so recording across N synchronised threads would serialise the exact contention this arm exists to measure. Routing does not depend on how many sessions are live, so one session's routes describe them all. 2. Per-iteration counters were divided by the wrong interval. Counters are sampled every `--snapshot-every` iterations, so the snapshot at or before the steady boundary is generally earlier than the boundary: the counter window is up to `--snapshot-every - 1` iterations wider than the sample window. Dividing by the sample count overstated dispatches/iter, parks/iter, spin-hits/iter and both context-switch rates -- and `parks_per_iter` is the park/wake figure this harness exists to produce. Worse, when steady state is reached before the first interior snapshot there is no qualifying snapshot at all and the window falls back to iteration zero, so the "steady" counters silently span the whole run. The comment there claimed "the steady window's counters never include warm-up", which was exactly wrong in that case. Neither is fixable by sampling counters every iteration -- that perturbs what is being measured. So both are now measured and stated instead: per-iteration figures divide by the interval the counters actually span, the report prints that interval next to the sample count, and the fall-back-to-zero case prints an explicit warning that the numbers include the transient.

The line said "counters are sampled every N iters, so the two differ" and then printed 512 and 512. A message that asserts a discrepancy next to two equal numbers teaches the reader to stop reading the message. It now says which case it is, and only claims the windows differ when they do -- in which case it also names both divisors, since that is the number a reader would otherwise have to reconstruct. Worse, both new messages told the reader to lower `--snapshot-every`. There is no such flag. The snapshot cadence is `--steady-window`, passed through to `timed_loop` as `snapshot_every`, and I named the internal parameter instead of the knob. Advice that cannot be followed is not advice. Verified end to end rather than by inspection: the concurrent arm now prints its routes and the true-zero attribution instead of the "dead instrument" warning, and the fall-back-to-iteration-zero case does fire its warning on a real run.

They belong in neither the branch nor the history. Committed by a careless `git add -A`. Noting it rather than force-pushing it away, since I flagged the identical mistake in someone else's PR earlier this week and it would be poor form to quietly erase my own.
