feat(scheduler): share compute and interleave bounded prefills - #664
Conversation
Measure prefill and decode execution time, schedule work toward a configured prefill share, and expose live controller state through the development API. Replace fixed micro-slicing with feedback based on completed model steps. The feature remains disabled unless prefill_compute_share is configured. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Derek Yates <derek.yates@live.com>
Admit multiple long-prefill requests through round-robin or decode-aware lanes while preserving the global token budget and decode refill target. External-cache loads do not consume a prefill lane until they require model computation. Configuration validation rejects incompatible policies and sequence limits. Signed-off-by: Derek Yates <derek.yates@live.com>
A recurrent request-boundary cache hit schedules one logits-only token and must reserve the complete model step. Set the scheduler-wide token budget to zero without referencing the optional micro-prefill budget, which is absent under the parallel-prefill compute-share scheduler. This preserves the single-request boundary-logits invariant for every fairness policy and prevents an UnboundLocalError on a repeated exact prompt.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe scheduler replaces legacy fairness and micro-slicing controls with adaptive prefill compute sharing, configurable prefill interleaving, timestamp-based feedback, live runtime updates, and new pressure and backlog metrics. ChangesPrefill scheduling modernization

Status: active; this is the replacement for PR #648. dev/jovian-judgement at db7a65e does not contain the bounded multi-prefill interleaver or its measured compute-share controller. The target branch also gained recurrent request-boundary checkpoint behavior after this branch was prepared. The logits-only restore step must remain isolated as one complete scheduler step after rebasing; it must not be co-scheduled with prefill or decode work. The present branch conflicts with the target. Rebase it onto the target head, preserve Derek Yates authorship for the scheduler commits, and repeat scheduler tests, exact-prefix restore tests, and mixed prefill/decode qualification. PR #648 must remain closed and must not be cherry-picked separately. |

The scheduler keeps a recurrent boundary-cache logits-only restore in an isolated scheduler step. It rejects the restore when the step already has scheduled work. After it admits the restore, it sets the global token budget to zero. The GPU model runner also requires one request for The compute-share path keeps decode and prefill execution accounting separate. The transfer-only path advances the completion boundary without charging the next compute step. The prefill interleaver applies the configured lane limit and replaces unavailable lanes. It does not use the removed micro-slicing controller. I did not run the reported CPU tests or pre-commit checks in this inspection environment. You are interacting with an AI system. |

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Avoid rescanning the waiting queues for each admission.
When max_parallel_prefills > 1, select_waiting_request can run once per waiting-loop iteration. The loop can process skipped requests without admitting them, and releases can replenish candidates beyond the active lane count. Since the waiting queues are not bounded by max_parallel_prefills, repeated full scans can add O(W²) scheduler work for W waiting requests. Maintain an ordered step-local candidate index and update it whenever a request enters or leaves either waiting queue, is released, or is marked unavailable.

I used the previously documented timing and lane-resolution constraints in this review.
The scheduler keeps a boundary-logits restore isolated. It rejects admission after other work is scheduled. It sets the shared token budget to zero after it admits the restore.

Poll connector readiness before local recurrent lookup and exclude unpublished imports from prefill lane occupancy. The default connector hook permits ordinary lookup, so connectors without external recurrent transport retain their behavior. Atomic import, attribution and storage remain separate cache review changes. Both one-lane and two-lane admission tests preserve progress; 117 scheduler and timing CPU tests pass.

Final composed JJ passes 393 focused CPU tests, including pending imports and timing/admission contracts. Packaged TP4/DCP1 DFlash C1/C8/32K and prefix checks pass within the bounded report.

Included in Source validation: replaying all 32 R35 review heads on the pinned base exactly reproduces the released Docker's vLLM tree; all 6,870 installed tracked files match. JJ additionally preserves Luke's DS4.1 work and #734. The final composition passed 247 focused checkpoint/scheduler, sampler/warmup and native GPU tests. This is combined-source evidence, not a fresh performance or full-model qualification for this individual PR. Publication-history clarification: the individual merge linked above is in JJ's first-parent history. It replaces the receipt's archived wrapper-merge reference; GitHub's historical merge SHA may still identify that archive. See #731 for component review order and qualification limits. |

Purpose
Keep active decodes responsive while long prefills make bounded progress.
The scheduler targets a prefill share of engine-observed model service
time and can interleave several prefill requests. This is wall-clock
completion feedback, not CUDA-event measurement of pure GPU kernel time.
Behavior
--prefill-compute-share FLOAT|autoenables feedback-based sharing. ThevLLM default remains disabled; the GLM community launcher selects fixed 0.4.
--prefill-compute-half-lifecontrols automatic-share smoothing.--max-parallel-prefills,--prefill-policy, and--decode-refill-targetexpose bounded round-robin/decode-aware admission.One lane remains the default.
autoresolves to at most four lanes,independently of attention pages, recurrent checkpoints, or LMCache objects.
The global token budget and request priority remain authoritative.
paired with each executor batch; completion accounting excludes already
charged queue residency and attaches no timing callback to the future.
scans. Automatic demand observation remains separate; this does not make
the entire scheduler constant-time.
credit while waiting for transfer. A recurrent boundary-logits restore owns
one complete, isolated scheduler step.
Derek Yates's compute-share, interleaving, and hot-path hardening contributions
retain authorship. Boundary isolation and the GLM integration tests preserve
the request-checkpoint contract. This PR is the canonical review target for
the work from closed #648; do not stack that integration-based PR separately.
This updates the existing scheduler PR rather than creating a duplicate.

JJ composition contract
Status: implemented; focused CPU contracts qualified. The branch includes JJ's model additions. This PR owns the connector readiness hook and releases prefill lanes while atomic external checkpoint imports wait. Merge this PR and #553 before #709; #709 supplies the atomic transfer implementation. Both pending-import cases (one and two prefill lanes) are tested without consuming recurrent state. The branch passes 117 focused CPU tests; the composed scheduler/checkpoint stack passes 398. These counts do not substitute for GPU serving qualification of added model dependencies.
Recorded R28.1 validation
Qualified: 156 focused CPU tests on this PR branch; 159 focused tests on
the complete FP8 serving integration, repeated against its installed image.
Coverage includes disabled timing, exact batch/timestamp pairing, automatic
lanes at a 4096-token budget with 4096-token storage geometry, priority,
asynchronous transfers, and recurrent boundary isolation across share/policy
settings. Ruff and

This five-suite installed-image invocation passes 135 tests. The test-only
tblibdependency and the CLI's cached default model metadata are suppliedread-only outside the installed serving package; no model executes.
GPU-free CLI tests select the CPU platform explicitly; mocked KV
connectors do not inherit CUDA expandable-segment settings. Neither test
environment adjustment changes the qualified GPU serving configuration.
The two-slot engine reproducer also covers an untimed predecessor completing
after a timed successor was dispatched: its queue residency is excluded
without enabling timing for wholly uncontended queues. The merge with JJ
preserves reserved boundary-logits admission fallback when cache allocation,
LoRA limits, input readiness, or request policy blocks the isolated request.
