fix(memory): profile GLM DCP attention before KV cache sizing - #598
Conversation
Bind a minimal cache and execute one attention-enabled prefill request containing the full scheduler token budget when GLM-5.3 uses decode-context parallelism. The profile includes query all-gather workspace that the generic many-request activation profile does not reach, and releases profiling-only cache and backend state before production cache allocation. Focused DCP dummy-context and cleanup tests pass for successful and failing profile execution.

Measure retained device memory after backend and CUDA-graph profiling, then subtract allocations initialized after the main activation profile from the production KV cache budget. This prevents communication pools and compiled backend resources from consuming unreserved memory. Focused worker tests cover both zero and positive late-persistent allocation deltas.

Run the single-request attention profile in the active V2 model runner and tear down its temporary cache state before production KV allocation. This makes the DCP query-gather peak part of automatic cache sizing without changing DCP1 or non-GLM profiles. Validated by four focused V2 runner tests and the complete pre-commit hook set.

Keep the GLM single-request DCP memory probe on the eager profiling path while retaining every hybrid KV-cache group. This initializes production DCP attention collectives before KV-cache sizing without changing the cheaper generic profiling contract. Validated with focused V2 and legacy runner tests and a TP4/DCP4 54,639-token request at GPU memory utilization 0.93.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe change adds single-request prefill control for DCP dummy runs. It adds GLM DCP attention profiling with temporary KV-cache state and cleanup. GPU memory accounting now includes allocations made after the main profile. GLM DCP profiling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change improves automatic GPU memory sizing, but a failure during profiling initialization can leave temporary cache state behind and make worker recovery or startup unreliable.

Clean up partial profiling state after initialization failure.
Line 6665 runs before the try block. _init_minimal_kv_cache_for_profiling() can set kv_cache_config, initialize attention groups, and bind cache state before a later initialization step fails. In that case, the finally block does not run. A retry or production KV-cache allocation can then use stale profiling state.
Put initialization inside the existing try block so _cleanup_profiling_kv_cache() always runs.

Resulting behavior
Automatic KV-cache sizing now accounts for the production GLM-5.3 DCP attention path and device allocations retained by backend and CUDA-graph initialization.
For GLM-5.3 with decode-context parallelism greater than one, each model runner binds a minimal hybrid KV cache and profiles one prefill request containing the configured scheduler token budget. The V2 runner retains every hybrid cache group for this dedicated probe while preserving the cheaper filtered metadata path for the general activation profile. Profiling-only cache and backend state is released before production KV allocation.
The worker takes a final device-memory snapshot after backend and CUDA-graph profiling. Persistent allocations created after the main activation profile are subtracted from the production KV-cache budget.
Technical reason
The general many-request profile did not execute the production GLM sparse-MLA DCP query gather. With TP4/DCP4,
max_num_batched_tokens=4096, and GPU memory utilization 0.93, the resulting KV pool left approximately 140 MiB free. A fresh 54K-token prefill then failed when each rank requested a 256 MiB query all-gather buffer.Compatibility
Validation
max_num_batched_tokens=4096, GPU memory utilization 0.93: an exact 54,639-token cold request completed without OOM.The implementation retains D-Rock attribution in every source commit.
