docs(experiments): E4-v8 results on real-timestamp SWE-Bench trace
V8 ran the third_party qwen35-swebench-50sess trace (4449 reqs, 5.44h original timeline, p50 inter-turn 2.53s) at TIME_SCALE=2 with the SnapshotStore refactor, PREFILL_MEM_FRAC=0.7, DECODE_MEM_FRAC=0.8, 16 GB snapshot_buf. Headline result on this realistic workload: TTFT p99 = 167 ms (vs E1's 207s on burst trace) Latency p99 = 7.4s 100% success rate 96.4% direct-to-D fast path The earlier TTFT 100+s numbers on E1/E4-v3 were a burst-trace queueing artifact (all 1285 reqs arrived at t=0). On real-time arrivals KVC stays in normal sub-second TTFT territory. D→P snapshot link infrastructure works end-to-end (16 GB snapshot_buf alloc'd, RPCs reach handlers, structural log captures everything). But 0 OK events because sessions get evicted from D before agentic's reseed path calls dump. Three fix paths identified in §5.

# E4-v8 完整结果 — KVC 在真实节奏 trace 上的表现
|
||||
|
||||
**日期**：2026-05-13
|
||||
**Status**：实验跑完

|

## 0. TL;DR
|
||||
|
||||
V8 跑 **真实节奏 trace**（`third_party/traces/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl`，4449 reqs × 52 sessions，原始 5.44h 时间线）在 TIME_SCALE=2 压缩到 ~2.7h wall clock：
|
||||
|
||||
| 指标 | V8 实测 |
|
||||
|---|---:|
|
||||
| 总请求 | 4449 |
|
||||
| Failure / Error / Abort | **0 / 0 / 0** |
|
||||
| Success rate | **100%** |
|
||||
| Latency mean / p50 / p90 / p99 | 1.28s / 0.51s / 3.17s / **7.44s** |
|
||||
| **TTFT mean / p50 / p90 / p99** | **49ms / 40ms / 68ms / 167ms** |
|
||||
| Direct-to-D fast path | **96.4%** (4291/4449) |
|
||||
| Reseed paths | 51 (1.1%) |
|
||||
| D→P sync OK | **0** (architecturally wired but no successful pushes — see §3) |
|
||||
|
||||
**关键结论**：先前 E1 和 E4-v3 上 TTFT 上百秒的"灾难数字"是**burst trace 排队累积的人为产物**。在真实节奏 SWE-Bench trace 上，**KVC 表现为亚秒到个位数秒的正常生产 serving 性能**。

### 2.4 Per-decode load

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
负载完美均衡（load-floor bonus K=200 起作用）。
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. D→P snapshot link 状态（重构验证）
|
||||
|
||||
**SnapshotStore 重构（commit 2dfe22a）成功**：
|
||||
- 旧设计 prepare_receive 用 `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N)` 抢 P 的 KV pool slot → 90%+ alloc-failed
|
||||
- 新设计 prepare_receive 从独立 16 GB GPU `snapshot_buf` 分配 slab → **0 alloc-failed**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sync events total: 102
|
||||
by (stage, reason):
|
||||
('dump', 'session-not-resident'): 96 (D 端 session 已 evict 或从未 resident)
|
||||
('prepare', 'snapshot-buf-full'): 6 (snapshot_buf 偶尔满)
|
||||
('ok', None): 0 (无成功 push)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**为什么 0 OK？**
|
||||
|
||||
mem_fraction=0.8 让 D 的 trim 机制总是成功 → admission 不拒绝 → reseed path 不通过"D 曾持有 session"分支触发，而是通过 first-turn-fallback 等路径触发，那些路径下 D 端**从未持有** session，dump 必然失败。
|
||||
|
||||
102 个 sync 事件中：
|
||||
- 96 个 dump session-not-resident：包含 52 个 turn-1 first-seed-fallback（session 从未 resident）+ 44 个其他 fallback
|
||||
- 6 个 snapshot-buf-full：偶尔出现，证明 buffer 在 working
|
||||
|
||||
D→P **底层链路 + agentic orchestration 都已就位**——只是 agentic 触发的 reseed 场景里 D 端 session 不存在。要让 D→P 真正 fire OK，需要：
|
||||
1. 给 D-side SessionAwareCache 加 "pending-snapshot pinning" 保护，让 evict 不打掉等 sync 的 session
|
||||
2. **或者** 加 D-side push-on-eviction：D 端在 evict 一个 session 前先 push 给 P（D-driven 主动模式）
|
||||
3. **或者** 调小 mem_fraction 让 admission 真正拒绝（"还有 session 时就拒"），让 reseed 命中真正"session 仍在 D"的场景
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. 跟之前几次实验对比
|
||||
|
||||
| Run | Trace | failures | TTFT p99 | Latency p99 | D→P OK |
|
||||
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
|
||||
| E1 (naive PD) | inferact 1285 burst | 6.6% | **207s** | 219s | n/a |
|
||||
| E4-v3 (KVC + load-floor, no D→P fix) | inferact 1285 burst | 0% | 225s | 234s | n/a |
|
||||
| E4-v4/v5 (KVC + D→P, bug) | inferact 1285 burst | 0% / 12% | similar | similar | 0 (logger NameError or alloc-fail) |
|
||||
| **E4-v8 (refactor + real trace)** | **swebench 4449 real-time** | **0%** | **167ms** | **7.4s** | 0 (D-side eviction timing) |
|
||||
|
||||
E1 vs v8 的数字差距巨大但**不直接可比**——因为 trace 完全不同：
|
||||
- E1 burst trace：所有 1285 req 在 t=0 全部到达 → 队列累积 → TTFT 上百秒
|
||||
- v8 real-time trace：req 按 2.53s p50 inter-turn 真实节奏到达 → 系统不饱和 → TTFT 几十 ms
|
||||
|
||||
**To be fair**: 要跟 v8 真实对比 KVC vs naive PD，需要也用 swebench trace 跑一遍 naive PD。这是下一步。
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. 给 D→P sync 真正生效的下一步
|
||||
|
||||
按重要性排序：
|
||||
|
||||
### P1：让 sync 能在 reseed 时 fire OK
|
||||
|
||||
**最直接的方法**：在 agentic 监测到 admission 拒绝时**立即**触发 dump（**在 D evict 之前**）。当前实现是 reseed 决策做完才 dump，已经太晚。
|
||||
|
||||
**方案**：
|
||||
1. 改 agentic `admit_direct_append` 调用之后，如果返回 reason=`no-space`，**立即 invoke sync** 到 source D，把 session KV 推给 P → 然后 retry admit 或转 fallback
|
||||
2. 在 D-side SessionAwareCache 加 "pending-snapshot pinning"，让 eviction 暂时 skip 这个 session
|
||||
|
||||
### P2：D-driven 主动模式
|
||||
|
||||
每次 D 完成 `cache_finished_req` 后，**异步**推 incremental KV 给所有注册的 P。这是设计 doc §2.5 提到的方向。开销显著（每次 turn 都推流量）但确保 sync 一直有数据。
|
||||
|
||||
### P3：mem-fraction tuning
|
||||
|
||||
把 decode mem-fraction 调到 0.5-0.55，让 admission 自然拒绝更多，从而 reseed 路径命中真正的"session-resident-on-some-D"分支。但这降低 throughput。
|
||||

|
||||
## 6. 对 ProjectGoal 的回答
|
||||
|
||||
> 寻找 KVC 如何才能在保持自身独特性的情况下胜过 naive PD Disagg
|
||||
|
||||
**V8 数据回答**：在真实节奏 SWE-Bench workload 下：
|
||||
- **96.4% 请求走 direct-to-D fast path**（KVC 独特价值）
|
||||
- TTFT p99 = 167ms，latency p99 = 7.44s
|
||||
- **0% failure**
|
||||
- D→P snapshot 底层架构 ready，但 trigger 的时机问题导致目前 OK rate=0
|
||||
|
||||
**要全面证明 KVC > naive PD**，需要补：
|
||||
- 用 swebench trace 跑一次 naive PD baseline → 直接对比
|
||||
- 修 P1（agentic admission-rejection 时立即 sync）→ 让 D→P 真起作用

||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**核心句**：V8 数据把 KVC TTFT 数字从 100+s（burst trace 假象）拉回 167ms（真实 workload），证明 KVC 在真实在线 serving 节奏下表现优异。D→P snapshot link 架构全栈 deploy 完毕但 trigger 时机仍需调整才能真正 fire。
