perf(glm5next): backport DCP owner merge and query splitting to Jovian - #705

Conversation
Route prefill candidates to DCP row owners before stable top-k selection, then restore selected pool IDs. Split independent indexer queries across replicas of each DCP shard without replicating the indexer KV cache. Preserve the existing decode, uneven-batch and graph-capture paths. Adapt Gilded commits bedfd11 and a87f739 to Jovian's GLM pooled-indexer ABI. Include shard-topology and indices-only gather behavior from 332035a, 541bf68 and 443e1d6. Validate 25 distributed cases at each of DCP4, DCP2 and DCP1 on four physical Sparks using PyNccl and Torch collectives. Require exact selected ID multisets per query row, including tied scores and invalid candidates. Run pre-commit checks and TP4/DCP4 answer, prefix-cache and cold-prefill serving checks. Broader serving results are recorded outside this patch.

Enable VLLM_DCP_QUERY_SPLIT before model-parallel initialization.
Without an external VLLM_DCP_QUERY_SPLIT=1 export, initialize_model_parallel leaves _QUERY_SPLIT unset. The test sets the variable only after the module-scoped fixture runs, so get_query_split_group() fails its assertion. Set VLLM_DCP_QUERY_SPLIT=1 in the fixture before initialize_model_parallel.

Purpose
GLM-5.3's pooled indexer repeats candidate merging on every DCP rank and repeats indexer queries across replicas of the same KV shard. This adapted backport adds two opt-in prefill paths to
dev/jovian-judgement:VLLM_DCP_TOPK_OWNER_MERGE=1routes each query row's candidates to one DCP owner, runs Jovian's existing stable score/ID selection kernel there, then gathers the selected IDs.VLLM_DCP_QUERY_SPLIT=1partitions independent query rows across replicas of each DCP shard and gathers the final pool IDs. It does not replicate additional indexer KV.Both flags default to disabled. Query splitting requires PCP1. At TP4, query groups have four ranks with DCP1, two with DCP2, and one with DCP4. Uneven partitions and CUDA graph capture retain the existing unsplit/replicated path; decode call sites retain their existing behavior. The ID gather handles pitched output storage and aliased send slices.
Sources: Gilded owner merge bedfd1108 and query splitting a87f739ab, with topology and gather fixes from
332035a8f,541bf688c, and443e1d676. The commit retains the original contributors' attribution. Jovian's custom GLM pooled-indexer path and packed-candidate ABI require adaptation rather than a verbatim cherry-pick.Open PRs were checked for both flags and pooled-indexer work; no duplicate Jovian backport was found. #699 and #700 implement separate coalescing and mHC optimizations. Their changes are excluded from this PR, although they are part of the serving benchmark composition below.
Test Plan
Distributed validation uses one process per host on four DGX Sparks, testing DCP4, DCP2, and DCP1. The focused command inside each configured test container is:
The DCP2/DCP1 runs use the corresponding
GLM53_TEST_DCP_SIZEand rendezvous port. Tests cover PyNccl and Torch gathers, tied scores, invalid candidates, empty/uneven rows, an 8,192-row chunk, pitched output, graph fallback, query-row identity, and composition of both features. Selected IDs must match the replicated kernel exactly as a multiset within each query row; the kernel's atomic output order is unspecified.PR branch checks:
Test Result
Distributed validation passes 25 cases per topology on every rank, at DCP4, DCP2, and DCP1. Pre-commit checks and diff checks pass on the PR branch.
Serving measurements use GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4-Spark on four GB10 hosts, TP4, RoCEnante/NCCL, B12X KDA, FP8 KV, MTP3, 16 sequences, 24 GiB KV per rank, 512-token pages, and an 8,192-token scheduler budget. These runs include B12X #338 and vLLM #699/#700 over
2a979314d. The PR is based on9a6b4fb3a; its three changed non-env runtime files and test file match the reviewed backport exactly, and all three added env definitions have identical ASTs. The PR base itself has not been rerun on the GPUs.Median cold prefill tokens/s, three samples per prompt length:
Each accepted sample reports one output token and zero cached prompt tokens. The eight arms provide 72 accepted timing samples and 40 passing answer/cache checks. CKV gather is enabled for DCP greater than one. The imported coalescing/mHC paths require DCP4, so cross-DCP comparisons also change those features; within-DCP pairs hold them fixed.
Owner merge improves measured DCP4 prefill by 1.6–3.4%. Query splitting has no useful measured gain at DCP1/DCP2 over 8K–32K, and is a no-op at TP4/DCP4. These small sequential-sweep differences do not establish statistical significance.
The selected TP4/DCP4 composition also passes four 20-second sustained decode cells: aggregate tokens/s are 55.3 / 53.9 at concurrency 1 and 125.3 / 117.5 at concurrency 4, for 8K / 32K prompts. There are no reported request errors, underfilled cells, warmup timeouts, or generation loops. Cold/reused/extended 64K and cold 128K answer/cache checks pass. These bounded checks do not establish broad model quality or long-duration stability. The subsequent full decode matrix was interrupted by an external Docker stop and is excluded from these qualification results.
