f09562123b 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.

9cca2c60c9 feat(experiments): expose PREFILL_MEM_FRAC + plumb --prefill-mem-fraction-static
v7 with --decode-mem-fraction-static=0.8 + SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_BUF_BYTES=16GB
silently fell back to 1 GB snapshot_buf because Prefill (mem-fraction
default 0.88) left only 10.8 GB free on GPU 0. Reducing prefill
mem-fraction lets 16 GB snapshot_buf fit.

5c09a3a0cb feat(experiments): per-second GPU util sampler in E4-pressured sweep
Background nvidia-smi poller runs at 1 Hz for all 4 GPUs throughout
the sweep, writing CSV to $OUTPUT/gpu_util.csv. Captures:
  timestamp_iso, gpu_index, util_pct, mem_used_MiB, mem_total_MiB,
  sm_clock_MHz, power_W, temperature_C

Sampler is started before benchmark-live and torn down via trap on
EXIT/INT/TERM so it always cleans up even if the run is killed.

This data lets us plot time-windowed wall-clock GPU utilization
(per-card) so we can answer "is concurrency the bottleneck or is
each D's per-session decode the bottleneck" — a question that
came up during E4-v3 / v5 analysis.

19612ff3a3 feat(experiments): parameterize TIME_SCALE in E4-pressured sweep
The third_party SWE-Bench trace uses real wall-clock timestamps
(5.44h span, p50 inter-turn 2.53s). With --time-scale 1 the sweep
mirrors the original timeline, taking 5.44h. TIME_SCALE env var
lets us compress (e.g. 10 → 33min, 60 → 5.5min) for tighter
iteration; defaults to 1 for realistic comparison.

Usage:
  TIME_SCALE=10 bash scripts/sweep_e4_pressured.sh
  TIME_SCALE=60 bash scripts/sweep_e4_pressured.sh

a953346a0c feat(experiments): E4-pressured points at third_party/traces SWE-Bench trace
Switches the default --trace from outputs/inferact_50sess.jsonl
(median 63K, p99 143K, 1285 reqs) to
third_party/traces/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl (median 27K,
p99 92K, 4449 reqs across 52 sessions). Smaller per-request
inputs let us check whether the queue-induced TTFT collapse
the user flagged is workload-specific. Total trace is 3.5x
larger so the run will cover more turns per session.

2dfe22ab20 refactor(snapshot): dedicated GPU snapshot_buf replaces kv_pool alloc
Implements the design in docs/SNAPSHOT_STORE_REFACTOR_ZH.md to fix
the alloc-failed death loop that killed D→P in E4-v4/v5 (167 sync
attempts, 0 OK because P's kv_pool was busy with its own prefill).

Mechanism change:
  OLD prepare_receive: token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N) — 90%+ failure
  NEW prepare_receive: SnapshotBufAllocator.alloc(slab_bytes) carves a
                       range from an 8 GB GPU buffer dedicated to
                       snapshot reception, decoupled from kv_pool

  OLD finalize_ingest: just radix.insert with pre-alloc'd slots
  NEW finalize_ingest: kv_pool.alloc NOW + GPU memcpy snapshot_buf →
                       k_buffer/v_buffer + radix.insert

Wire schema changed (clean break, no back-compat):
  PrepareReceiveReqOutput  swaps k/v_base_ptrs + slot_indices  for
                           snapshot_buf_base_ptr + k/v_layer_offsets +
                           num_tokens
  DumpReqInput             swaps target_k/v_base_ptrs + target_slot_indices
                           for target_snapshot_buf_base +
                           target_k/v_layer_offsets
  FinalizeIngestReqInput   drops slot_indices (P resolves at ingest)

Controller adds:
  SnapshotBufAllocator: first-fit free-list with 4 KB alignment
  ingest_snapshot_into_kvpool: GPU→GPU copy + radix insert

Configurable buffer size via SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_BUF_BYTES env
(default 8 GB, scales down to 1 GB if alloc fails).

Removed runtime leak-check accommodation since prepare_receive no
longer touches kv_pool.

Total: ~365 LOC including alloc helper; smoke-test verification next.

6be5f9b57e docs(d2p): SnapshotStore refactor design — dedicated GPU buffer
Captures the architectural fix for the P-side alloc-failed problem
that killed every D→P sync attempt in E4-v4/v5. Designs a dedicated
GPU snapshot_buf with a slab allocator, decoupling reception from
kv_pool, and defers kv_pool alloc to finalize_ingest time when the
snapshot bytes are already in hand. ~365 LOC across controller,
io_struct, agentic. Smoke + E4-v6 expected to show first non-zero
D→P OK rate.

f926a7b87d data: include qwen35-swebench-50sess trace under third_party/traces/
Add the 54 MB SWE 50sess replay trace to the repo under
third_party/traces/ so it travels with `git clone` to GPU nodes that
can't reach the sandbox network. Previously the trace only lived under
outputs/ which is .gitignored.

Whitelist third_party/traces/ in .gitignore (same pattern as the
existing third_party/sglang/ allowlist).

After cloning on a new host, either symlink the file into outputs/ for
backward compatibility:
  ln -sf ../third_party/traces/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl \
         outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl
or update sweep scripts to point --trace at third_party/traces/.

README in the new directory documents the file's lineage
(SiCo → SiBench → audit.jsonl → convert_audit_to_trace.py) and the
100 MB GitLab single-file limit warning for future trace additions.

051d9220f4 fix(d2p): remove dangling logger.info refs in seeded_router
E4-v4 forensic: 1235/1285 requests failed with
  NameError: name 'logger' is not defined

When commit b9b0cf0 added agentic-side D→P orchestration, the
post-call diagnostic was written as logger.info(...). But
src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py doesn't import the logging
module nor define a module-level `logger`. v3 didn't hit it
because config.enable_d_to_p_sync was always False
(plumbing bug fixed in af966f2). v4 with sync enabled tripped
the NameError on EVERY reseed-path request → 96% failure rate.

Fix is to remove the redundant logger.info — the structural log
(`structural/d-to-p-sync.jsonl`, added in e729d62) already
captures every prepare/dump/finalize decision.

e9ad1c4bc7 feat(experiments): E4 vs E1 results + p99 attribution figures
Headline: KVC v2 + load-floor + RDMA beats naive PD-disagg on
mean/p50/p90 by 30-65% (TTFT p50 31s vs 88s, lat p50 37s vs 93s,
wall-clock 64 min vs 88 min). Loses p99 by ~8% (TTFT 224 vs 207).

Wrote 4 figures (docs/figures/):
  e1_vs_e4_ttft_pdf.png         — bimodal E4 fast-path peak vs E1 single peak
  e1_vs_e4_latency_cdf.png      — CDF + log-survival showing tail crossover
  e4_path_latency.png           — per-execution-mode latency breakdown
  e1_vs_e4_p99_attribution.png  — what makes up E4's p99 tail

P99 tail attribution (this is the key finding):
  E4 p99 tail (n=65, TTFT ≥ 179.9s):
    fast-path direct-to-d        0 % (0/65)
    reseed paths                 5 % (3/65)
    fallback paths              88 % (57/65)
      large-append-session-cap  43 %  ← biggest culprit
      no-d-capacity             17 %
      large-append              14 %

Implication: D→P snapshot (designed to optimize reseed slow path)
even if fully working would touch ≤5% of the p99 tail. The real
bottleneck is *fallback chain* (admission retry + seeded-router
cold start), not reseed. Optimizing p99 needs work on fallback,
not more D→P plumbing.

af966f2371 fix(cli): plumb --enable-d-to-p-sync through benchmark-live → ReplayConfig
E4-v3 forensic: structural d-to-p-sync.jsonl is empty despite the
sweep passing --enable-d-to-p-sync. Root cause:
BenchmarkLiveConfig (benchmark.py) had no enable_d_to_p_sync field,
and the benchmark-live cli builder (line ~821) never threaded
args.enable_d_to_p_sync into the ReplayConfig that gets built
inside replay_trace. So config.enable_d_to_p_sync was always False
even though the CLI flag was set, and _attempt_d_to_p_sync was
gated off → 0 calls → 0 RPCs → 0 structural log entries.

The replay subcommand (cli.py:672) already plumbed it correctly;
benchmark-live just got missed. Adding the field + the wire-up.

This means E4-v3's headline numbers (KVC v2 + load-floor + RDMA
beat naive PD on mean/p50/p90, lose by ~8% on p99) reflect *only*
KVC's session-affinity gains, not D→P. A v4 with this fix should
exercise D→P on reseed-after-eviction events and we'll see whether
the p99 long tail also shrinks.

f6d6dc01ea feat(cli): per-role --mem-fraction-static + use in E4-pressured
E4-v1 / v2 / pressured-v1 all failed to fire admission rejections in
this workload because the default 0.6 mem-fraction-static gives
288K-token kv_pool per decoder, more than enough to absorb the
50-session trace even at concurrency=32.

This commit adds:
  --decode-mem-fraction-static  (overrides per-decode SGLang arg)
  --prefill-mem-fraction-static (symmetric for completeness)

Plumbed via topology.{decode,prefill}_extra_server_args. The
pressured sweep now uses --decode-mem-fraction-static 0.4 which
shrinks decoder kv_pool to ~192K tokens — should force enough
admission rejections to actually exercise the D→P snapshot path.

fbeb968f2f feat(experiments): E4-pressured sweep — force reseed via reject_threshold=1
E4-v1 produced 272 admission rejects (good) but zero /_snapshot HTTP
calls (bad, entrance gate bug fixed in e729d62). E4-v2 went the other
way: 0 rejects through 53% of trace, sync function never even called.

E4-pressured locks in the *fix-verified* code path by lowering
--kvcache-migration-reject-threshold from 3 to 1. After ONE
rejection the policy forces session migration, which lands in
_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router → _attempt_d_to_p_sync.

With the e729d62 fix in place, the d-to-p-sync.jsonl structural log
should now capture every prepare/dump/finalize decision so we can
forensic verify the D→P fast path is actually delivering KV bytes
to P's radix tree.

e729d62ddf fix(d2p): structural log + relax entrance condition for sync
E4 forensic (docs/E4_RESULTS_ZH.md): 272 admission rejections triggered
the fallback seeded_router path, but zero /_snapshot/* HTTP calls hit
the workers. Two root causes:

1. _attempt_d_to_p_sync gated on agentic-side `decode_session.opened`.
   By the time fallback runs, agentic has already flipped that flag
   to False in response to admission rejection. But D-side
   SessionAwareCache may still hold the session (release_session is
   not called automatically on admission rejection). Removing the
   gate; let D respond authoritatively with "session-not-resident"
   if it has actually evicted.

2. _attempt_d_to_p_sync logged decisions via logger.info, but
   agentic has no root logger handler so those events silently sank.
   Switching every branch (entry skip, prepare fail/not-ok, dump
   fail/not-ok, finalize fail/not-ok, ok) to write a structural-log
   line at outputs/<run>/structural/d-to-p-sync.jsonl. Each line
   carries stage, reason, durations, bytes pushed.

The result doc is updated to reflect the honest E4-1 outcome and
the P1 fix list.

1d68ad66a7 docs(experiments): E4 results — initial scaffold + mid-run observation
Captures the mid-run state of the E4 sweep (35 min in, 41% of trace
served, 0 admission rejections, 0 d_to_p_sync triggers) along with
the interpretation of that observation: under load-floor K=200 + 3D
topology, admission rarely rejects → reseed is rarely needed → D→P
snapshot is a safety net that doesn't fire in the common case.

Includes a fill-in-after-sweep matrix for H1/H2/H3 verdicts and a
follow-up plan (high-pressure variant to force reseed, ablation to
isolate D→P marginal benefit).

Captures the current state of the D→P RDMA snapshot push work for
the next agent (or future me): which commits land which phase, which
phases are verified vs in-flight, and the known unverified surfaces
(byte-level KV layout, cross-node, multi-D contention, token_id
consistency, D-side evict races, chunked-prefill interactions).

Also maps the §2 design points to their implementation locations so

8a2f72f18e feat(experiments): E4 protocol + sweep script — KVC + D→P vs naive PD
Pre-registers the E4 experiment that tests whether KVC + D→P RDMA
snapshot push beats the naive PD-disagg E1 baseline on the
inferact_50sess subset. Compared to E3 the only changed flag is
--enable-d-to-p-sync.

Three hypotheses (see docs/E4_PROTOCOL_ZH.md §2.3):
  H1 (main): E4 TTFT p99 ≤ E1 TTFT p99
  H2:       E4 reseed-mode TTFT < E3 reseed-mode TTFT
  H3:       E4 success count ≥ E3 success count

The full reseed → snapshot-push orchestration is wired in b9b0cf0
(_attempt_d_to_p_sync); the SGLang scheduler RPCs and the runtime
mem-leak fix are in 86412bb / a369722.

a369722efe fix(sglang): account snapshot-reserved slots in radix mem leak check
Phase 2 prepare_receive allocates kv_pool slots that aren't visible
to radix / session bookkeeping until finalize_ingest. Without this
fix, the scheduler's idle self_check fires:

  ValueError: token_to_kv_pool_allocator memory leak detected!
    available=288391, evictable=5, protected=0, session_held=0
    (expected sum == 288460)

_check_radix_cache_memory now subtracts
  sum(len(rec.slot_indices) for rec in ctrl._ingest_records.values())
from the expected total before flagging a leak. Snapshot_reserved is
also printed in the leak message for diagnostics.

Smoke confirmed (scripts/smoke_snapshot_sglang_integration.py):
  [smoke] prepare_receive on P → 200: ok=true (96 layer bufs)
  [smoke] dump on D → 200: ok=false, reason=session-not-resident
  [smoke] finalize on P → 200: ok=true, inserted_prefix_len=0
  [smoke] OVERALL: PASS

End-to-end KV-correctness (snapshot ingest yields cache hit on next
prefill) still requires the agentic+router stack — covered in the E4
sweep, not this smoke.

b9b0cf0fac feat(agentic): D→P snapshot orchestration in reseed path + CLI flag
Phase 3 — wires the SGLang-side snapshot RPCs (committed in 86412bb)
into the agentic reseed slow-path. On _invoke_kvcache_seeded_router:

  1. POST {prefill_url}/_snapshot/prepare_receive   alloc P-side slots
  2. POST {old_decode_url}/_snapshot/dump           RDMA push session KV
  3. POST {prefill_url}/_snapshot/finalize_ingest   insert into P radix

After step 3 P's radix tree has the session prefix cached; the subsequent
SGLang router-driven prefill on P hits cache instead of re-computing.

Any RPC failure short-circuits to the existing seeded_router fallback
(re-prefill from scratch). All steps are best-effort and structurally
logged for post-hoc analysis.

Flag plumbing:
  cli.py             --enable-d-to-p-sync          (replay + benchmark)
  topology.py        SingleNodeTopology.enable_d_to_p_sync
  stack.py           SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_ENABLE=1 injection per worker
  replay.py          ReplayConfig.enable_d_to_p_sync +
                     _attempt_d_to_p_sync helper

Snapshot port per worker derives from disaggregation_bootstrap_port +
1000 (set in third_party/.../snapshot/controller.py), so different
workers get distinct mooncake snapshot engines on the same node.

Smoke (next): scripts/smoke_snapshot_sglang_integration.py spawns one
D + one P, exercises the 3 RPCs end-to-end, checks cache_tokens on a
follow-up generate request.

See docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md for the full design.

86412bb174 feat(sglang): D→P snapshot link integration — controller + RPC handlers
Phase 2 of the D→P sync feature (Phase 1 in dc4867c verified the
underlying RDMA link in isolation). This commit wires that link into
each SGLang worker's scheduler so D and P can exchange session KV
without going through the PD prefill pipeline.

New module:
  third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/disaggregation/snapshot/
    controller.py — SnapshotLinkController owns one mooncake transfer
                    engine per worker, pre-registers all kv_pool layer
                    buffers, and exposes prepare_receive() and
                    push_session_kv() APIs. Receive bookkeeping via
                    a session_id → SnapshotIngestRecord side-table.

Three RPC types added to io_struct.py and full plumbing wired through:
  SnapshotPrepareReceiveReqInput/Output   P-side alloc + return layout
  SnapshotDumpReqInput/Output             D-side read kv_pool + RDMA push
  SnapshotFinalizeIngestReqInput/Output   P-side radix tree insert

Files touched:
  managers/io_struct.py                   3 new ReqInput/ReqOutput pairs
  managers/tokenizer_communicator_mixin.py  3 communicators, 3 awaitables
  managers/scheduler.py                   init controller + 3 handlers
  entrypoints/http_server.py              3 HTTP endpoints under /_snapshot

Activation: set SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_ENABLE=1 (and
SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_HOST / _PORT / _IB_DEVICE) per worker. Controller
init is opt-in and defaults off, so production PD pipeline is
untouched.

Subsequent work (Phase 3): agentic-pd-hybrid orchestration in
_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router to call prepare_receive on P, dump on
D-old, finalize_ingest on P, then trigger the existing P→D' transfer
which will now hit P's radix cache (skipping re-prefill).

Goal: skip P-side re-prefill on reseed path. Push session KV
snapshot from D back to P after each direct-to-D append; reseed
re-uses P's snapshot to fire only the P→D' transfer (no model.forward
on P).

Decision: Option C — D→P snapshot at append-commit, P-side
PrefillSnapshotStore (side-table, not in radix tree), prefill
bypass when snapshot is fresh. Rejects A (radix multi-producer),
B (D→D' direct, fails for session-not-resident), D (eviction-only).

Lays out 8-commit roadmap, wire protocol, failure modes, and the
E4 experiment plan (KVC + D→P vs naive PD-disagg E1 baseline).

6d1c9237fa docs(architecture): KVC eviction granularity is the wrong abstraction
After E3 exposed massive session-level eviction (90 trims × avg
67K tokens/evict = 6.1M tokens trashed in 1h12min), we have to
acknowledge the local-patch sequence (E2→load-floor→Fix A →
proposed disable-migration → proposed disable-admission) was a
KVC-to-DP collapse trajectory, not a fix.

The fundamental issue: SessionAwareCache merged two responsibilities
that should be separate.

  1. Session lifecycle tracking (legitimate — streaming sessions
     reuse KV across turns and need per-session metadata).
  2. Eviction granularity decision (wrong — sessions should not be
     the eviction unit).

`release_session` frees the session-exclusive range
[cache_protected_len, kv_allocated_len), which is the post-radix-
commit tail accumulated over decode/extend. On Inferact's
50-session workload this is 35-87K tokens per session. The radix
tree never gets a chance to do block-level leaf-LRU on that range
because it was never committed there.

Effect: evict-revisit cycle forces full 50-90K re-prefill per
session per evict — which is exactly the per-request cost of naive
PD-disagg. KVC's direct-to-D fast-path advantage collapses.

The right fix is structural (not a patch): progressively commit
streaming-session decode output to the radix tree so SGLang's
block-level LRU can shed only the deepest leaves, preserving the
recent prefix that next-turn requests are most likely to match.
SessionSlot becomes pure metadata. Scope is ~1-2 weeks of vendored
SGLang refactor, orthogonal-and-complementary to the D→P sync work
proposed in RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP §4.

Doc lists five anti-patterns the next agent should avoid (tuning
migration_reject_threshold, disabling migration/admission, etc) —
all of those are local symptoms downstream of the eviction
granularity choice.

986f351365 feat(sglang): drop streaming-session reqs with fill_ids < prefix_indices
Fix A from docs/E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md §3. The existing streaming-session
correction at the top of ScheduleBatch.prepare_for_extend zeroes
req.extend_input_len when len(fill_ids) <= len(prefix_indices), but
the per-req invariant later in the same function (assert
seq_len - pre_len == req.extend_input_len) is computed from raw
fill_ids/prefix_indices lengths and has no path to be satisfied
when fill_len < prefix_len. The result is an AssertionError that
crashes the entire decode worker.

Add a pre-filter pass at the start of prepare_for_extend that
detects this state, marks the affected reqs with FINISH_ABORT (so
the client gets an error response instead of the worker hanging),
and drops them from the batch before the correction loop runs. If
all reqs are filtered, populate empty tensor/list state and return
early so downstream model.forward sees a valid no-op batch.

This treats fill_ids < prefix_indices as upstream state
inconsistency that should be reported to the client rather than
silently miscomputed. The narrower invariant after this filter:
prepare_for_extend's body only ever sees streaming-session reqs
where actual_extend_len > 0, which is the regime the existing
correction logic was designed for.

Reproduced by E3 first run on 2026-05-12 02:51:21 UTC (rid
6f4318e93dd543a49dbf19248cfc1e6f, session 1000195, fill_len=6648,
prefix_len=43459) — masked in E1/E2 because the cap-out failure
cascade prevented sessions from accumulating deep enough committed
prefix to trigger the inconsistency.

d40db1f117 docs(experiments): E3 first run — load-floor bonus works, exposes SGLang bug
H1 (load balance) confirmed at the 15-min checkpoint: D2 received
22.5% of bindings (225 out of 1001) covering 30 unique sessions,
versus 0 in both E1 and E2. The graduated load-floor formula with
K=200 produces the intended distribution: fresh sessions on
under-loaded D, sticky sessions stay put.

But decode-1 crashed at 11:51:21 (~5 min into benchmark) with an
SGLang AssertionError in schedule_batch.py:1646. Root cause: the
streaming-session correction at line 1572-1585 patches
req.extend_input_len to 0 when len(fill_ids) < len(prefix_indices),
but the downstream invariant uses raw fill_ids/prefix_indices
lengths, so the arithmetic check fails. This is a pre-existing
landmine in the b8e6f13 SGLang vendor patch, not caused by the
load-floor bonus. It just happened to be masked in E2 by the
failure cascade preventing sessions from accumulating deep enough
prefix to trigger the correction.

Crash session 1000195 stayed on decode-1 the whole time (not a
migration race). E3 exposes this faster because sessions actually
run further with rebalanced load.

5 fix options evaluated. Recommended: Fix A — local patch at
schedule_batch.py:1646 to skip zero-extend-len reqs before
asserting. Less invasive than C (recomputing seq/prefix arrays);
addresses the actual case (D and E are workarounds, not fixes).

4 decision points for review; no code changes in this commit.

a1abdcd50c feat(experiments): E3 sweep — KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor bonus
Same outputs/inferact_50sess.jsonl subset as E1/E2 (md5
7bb263a32600ef5a6ef5099ba340a487). Identical to E2 except adds
--kvcache-load-floor-bonus 200. Tests three hypotheses:

  H1 (load balance):  D2 receives non-trivial bindings (E1/E2: 0)
  H2 (failure rate):  mooncake batch_transfer timeouts disappear
                      because D0/D1 KV pool no longer saturates
                      (E2 had 1054 fails; expect ≤ E1's 85)
  H3 (TTFT):          E2's 0.43s p50 (over the 231 successes)
                      generalizes to most reqs once cascade is gone

93fce42747 feat(policy): load-floor bonus for KvAwarePolicy (Q2.B)
Implements the design proposed and approved in
docs/E1_E2_FIX_DESIGN_ZH.md §Q2.B.

KvAwarePolicy gains a `load_floor_bonus: int = 0` knob. When > 0:

  mean_assigned = sum(assigned[*]) / len(D)
  for each D candidate:
    if not sticky and mean_assigned > 0:
      deficit = max(0, mean_assigned - assigned[D])
      floor_bonus = K * deficit / mean_assigned
    else:
      floor_bonus = 0
    score = (overlap + sticky*α + floor_bonus, sticky, -inflight, -assigned)

Properties (verified by unit-style probe in commit message):
- Default 0 = old behavior preserved
- Sticky-gated: turn-1+ requests of an existing session keep going
  to their original D (cache locality preserved)
- Graduated: bonus magnitude scales with the D's deficit ratio,
  approaches K as deficit/mean → 1, drops to 0 when balanced
- Set above max expected boilerplate overlap (Inferact ~50 → 200)
  so cross-session shared-prefix overlap doesn't pin cold D's idle,
  but real per-session prefix overlap (>K blocks) still wins

Plumbed through ReplayConfig, BenchmarkConfig, and CLI flag
--kvcache-load-floor-bonus on both `replay` and `benchmark-live`.

Empirical verification on synthetic state (same conditions as the
E2 cold-D pathology):
  - OFF (K=0):   route fresh session → decode-0 (boilerplate winner)
  - ON  (K=200): route fresh session → decode-1 (cold D rebalanced)

Validation pass next: scripts/sweep_e3_kvc_v2_loadfloor_rdma.sh
(committed separately).

905d671135 feat(env): MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT=1800s default in setup_env + stack
Mooncake C++ batch_transfer_sync defaults to 30s timeout; on
saturated D scheduler threads doing LRU eviction, that fires as a
false positive and the SGLang hair-trigger in conn.py:1270
permanently blacklists the D's mooncake_session_id (E2 forensic in
docs/E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md §5c). Bump to 1800s in setup_env.sh and
mirror to subprocess env in stack.py so SGLang workers get it too.

9a166ac43b docs(experiments): design space for Q1 (mooncake stall) + Q2 (cold-D)
For Q1 (D scheduler LRU starves mooncake control plane → 30s
batch_transfer_sync timeout → hair-trigger blacklist), six candidate
fixes evaluated. Recommendation: do Q2 fix first since it removes
the only condition under which we observe LRU thrash; bump mooncake
timeout to 120s as cheap defense-in-depth; avoid invasive SGLang
vendor changes (windowed hair-trigger, async eviction thread) until
Q2 fix demonstrates they're insufficient.

For Q2 (overlap-first lex score + shared boilerplate → permanent
D2 cold), seven candidate fixes evaluated. Recommendation: load-
floor bonus (graduated, decoupled from overlap, gated on
not-sticky) as the primary mechanism — proactive on first-touch as
user requested, avoiding the binary one-shot pitfall of the
reverted cold-D bonus. Orthogonal cleanup: fix the substring filter
in _is_admission_rejection_mode so the existing migration mechanism
serves as a backstop when load balancing alone isn't enough.

7 decision points listed for review; no code merged until a shape
is approved.

976115ea5e Revert "feat(policy): cold-D bonus to break overlap-pinning death spiral"
Implementation jumped ahead of design. The cold-D bonus is one of
several candidates for the overlap-pinning fix (others: load-floor
bonus, idle-D bonus, capacity-aware overlap discount, pre-warming
boilerplate). Need to evaluate the design space first, including
whether a single bonus is even the right shape vs a separate term
in the lex score, before committing to a specific knob.

This reverts commit 786cbb8 cleanly (forensic docs in bf4da28 and
7f2ebf3 are kept since they record observations, not designs).

786cbb8d91 feat(policy): cold-D bonus to break overlap-pinning death spiral
KvAwarePolicy now accepts an optional cold_d_bonus int. When > 0,
fresh requests (sticky=0, i.e. no prior D for this session) receive
the bonus added to lex-score position 0 (overlap+sticky_bonus) for
any D worker that has never been assigned a session yet
(decode_assignment_counts == 0). This breaks the pathology
documented in docs/E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md §5d where workloads with
shared cross-session prefix (e.g. Inferact's "permissions
instructions" boilerplate) cause every D that has hosted any session
to dominate the overlap term against any cold D, leaving the cold D
permanently unused.

Sticky behavior is preserved: turn 1+ requests of an existing
session continue to stick to their original D because the bonus is
gated on `not sticky`.

Plumbed through ReplayConfig.kvcache_cold_d_bonus (default 0,
keeping current behavior unchanged), BenchmarkConfig, and CLI flag
--kvcache-cold-d-bonus on both `replay` and `benchmark-live`
subcommands. Set above max expected boilerplate overlap (Inferact's
~50 24-token blocks → 1000 is safe).

bf4da281c0 docs(experiments): mooncake "is not alive" deep-dives to LRU starvation
The Q1 mystery resolves: P-side mooncake C++ logs show
"Sync batch data transfer timeout after 37452515723ns" (37.45 s) at
01:56:42 — this is mooncake's batch_transfer_sync giving up after
its internal timeout. The hair-trigger >=1 in conn.py:1270 is
correct in the idle case (a 30-s RDMA stall genuinely means the
peer is broken), but it fires here because of D-side congestion:
decode-0.log shows two consecutive LRU evictions ("Trimmed decode
session cache via LRU. evicted_sessions: 2, freed_tokens: 77675")
firing at the exact same wall second the timeout triggers.

The D scheduler thread is busy with multi-session GPU memory frees
+ session-aware-cache bookkeeping under lock; the mooncake C++
control plane on the receive side gets starved for >30 s; P times
out and marks the whole D's mooncake_session_id failed.

Two-layer fix listed in §5c: root-cause = spread load to D2 (cold-D
bonus, next commit); defense-in-depth = windowed threshold + retry
in vendored mooncake conn.py.

7f2ebf3d87 docs(experiments): forensic on Q1 (mooncake death) and Q2 (no D2 migration)
Q1: Mooncake "is not alive" is hair-trigger — a single
send_kvcache_slice ret != 0 in
third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/disaggregation/mooncake/conn.py
:1270 permanently adds the D's mooncake_session_id to failed_sessions
and blacklists it for the rest of the process lifetime. The D worker
process is alive (D1 keeps serving admit_direct_append OK seconds
after), but every subsequent P→D transfer for that session
short-circuits at conn.py:1184. The "Failures should never happen if
the session is not dead" comment encodes the wrong assumption for the
saturation regime we hit.

Q2: KVC v2's migration mechanism IS sound but its trigger is gated
by replay.py:1379 _ADMISSION_REJECTION_SUBSTRINGS = ("session-cap",
"no-d-capacity", "d-backpressure"). All 1054 failures have
execution_mode="kvcache-centric" (generic fallback bucket) which
contains none of those substrings, so session_d_rejects is never
incremented. Empirically 46 of 49 (sess, D) pairs that the worker
RPC rejected would have qualified for blacklist (most-rejected
pair: 25 rejects), but policy never saw them. Result: D0 reject
→ next-bind D0 (253×), D1 reject → next-bind D1 (329×), D0/D1 reject
→ next-bind D2 (0×).

Fix paths documented for both, shortest path is widening the
substring filter to include the failure-fallback bucket, but the
right fix is to call record_admission_reject directly from the
actual rejection signal site instead of string-matching execution_mode.

ef4dc81ea9 docs(experiments): forensic explanation for E2 80% failure rate
Pulling admission-events.jsonl, prefill-0.log, and request-metrics
sampling shows the 1054 failures are NOT timeouts as initially
assumed. They are a 3-layer cascade:

  L1: 562 "no-space" + 43 "session-not-resident" worker admission
      rejects (51% of all admit attempts) because D0/D1 KV pools
      saturate while D2 stays empty.
  L2: rejects re-route to seed/reseed which need mooncake P→D KV
      transfer; the backlog drops mooncake heartbeats and prefill-0
      logs "Decode instance could be dead, remote mooncake session
      ... is not alive".
  L3: SGLang aborts the request, SSE stream closes with 0 tokens,
      agentic-pd-hybrid raises "generate stream ended before
      producing any token" (the literal error string for all 1054).

E1 didn't hit this because pd-disaggregation has no admission RPC —
sessions just queue behind the running batch, paying TTFT instead
of failing. KVC v2's worker admission is supposed to be a safety
valve; on the cold-D pathology it becomes a failure amplifier.

The real fix is upstream D rebalancing (cold-D bonus or pre-warm),
not relaxing admission.

3db2d84df8 docs(experiments): E2 complete — qualified H1 with a surprise
E2 finished 1h33min wall. Headline contrast on the matched Inferact
50-session subset:

E1 (naive 1P3D + kv-aware + RDMA):
  1200/1285 succ, lat p50=93s p99=219s, TTFT p50=89s p99=207s
E2 (KVC v2 + RDMA):
   231/1285 succ, lat p50= 7.4s p99=65s, TTFT p50=0.43s p99=8.7s

E2 is 12.4× worse on failure rate but 20× better on TTFT p50 among
the requests that did complete. Both runs leave D2 entirely unused
for the same structural reason: Inferact's shared "permissions
instructions" boilerplate makes overlap dominate the kv-aware lex
score, and v2's migration mechanism only fires on capacity rejects
which never reach D2. The 1054 E2 timeouts are downstream of that
imbalance, not a v2 bug per se.

The doc closes with five concrete follow-ups for the next agent —
cold-D bonus, router-mode admission, default-policy control arm,
TCP-loopback comparison, failure mode forensics.

e3e5c45ed4 docs(experiments): E2 mid-run finding — D2 stays cold in KVC v2 too
Same pathological imbalance E1 showed reproduces in E2: D2 has zero
bindings at 33% POSTs in. Root cause is structural, not a KVC v2 bug:
all 50 Inferact sessions begin with identical "permissions
instructions" boilerplate, so the converter assigns them identical
first-block hash_ids. kv-aware policy's overlap term (lex-score
position 0) makes any already-resident D dominate a fresh D
unconditionally, and v2's migration only activates on admission
rejects which never fire because D0/D1 KV pools have headroom. The
H1 conclusion is qualified: KVC v2 helps per-request work (direct-
to-D fast path) but does not rebalance D worker load on workloads
with shared cross-session prefixes.

631b2c8847 docs(experiments): E1 results — naive 1P3D + kv-aware confirms H1 baseline
E1 finished 1h29min wall on the 50-session Inferact subset. Headline:
1200/1285 succeeded, latency p50=93s p99=219s, TTFT p50=89s p99=207s,
85 timeouts. Decode-2 was never bound to a single session — all 50
sessions stuck to decode-0/1 by kv-aware policy stickiness with no
migration to rebalance, so effective topology was 1P2D, not 1P3D.
This is exactly the failure mode H1 predicts naive pd-disaggregation
should exhibit, giving E2 (full KVC v2 with migration) a concrete
baseline to improve against.

Captures the full debugging journey of getting vendored SGLang 0.5.10
+ mooncake RDMA running on a 4×H200 node with the older driver
570.86.15. Driver 570's actual API is cu12.8 — nvidia-smi's
"CUDA Version: 13.0" header is a forward-compat ceiling, not the
driver's own version — and that single misreading drove most of the
detours. Lessons cover: pip vs vendor sglang divergence, why cu13
switching was a dead end (mooncake is cu12-only by wheel, driver 570
can't run cu13 anyway), why --disable-overlap-schedule alone isn't
enough, why pip nvidia-cuda-nvcc-cu12 doesn't ship the nvcc binary,
and how tvm_ffi's ninja-driven nvcc invocation makes CUDA_HOME the
single hook point that fixes everything.

Two cleanups:

   GPU hours are precious; naive 1P3D + policy=default has near-certain
   loss on multi-turn cache hit (it's round-robin without prefix awareness),
   so the comparison doesn't add information vs E1=naive 1P3D kv-aware.
   The new manifest has only 2 runs: E1 (naive 1P3D kv-aware) + E2 (KVC
   v2 + RDMA). Run-time budget drops from 16.5h serial to 11h serial /
   5.5h parallel. Updated:
   - §0 TL;DR ("3 组" -> "2 组")
   - §2 H1 hypothesis (drop "default and kv-aware each one" -> just kv-aware)
   - §3.1 experiment matrix (3 rows -> 2 rows + rationale for the drop)
   - §3.2 startup config (drop E1 default section, renumber E2/E3 -> E1/E2)
   - §6 decision table + expected-range table
   - §7 FAQ ("3 个 E1-E3" -> "2 个 E1-E2")
   - §9 deliverables

2. Move 8 deprecated docs to docs/archive/:
     AGENTIC_FIT_ANALYSIS_ZH.md         (ts=10 era analysis; superseded)
     STRUCTURAL_VALIDATION_REPORT_ZH.md (ts=10 era validation; superseded)
     KVC_DEBUG_JOURNEY_V1_TO_V5.md      (v1-v5 sweep process notes)
     V5_PROFILE_INVESTIGATION_ZH.md     (v5 1Hz polling investigation)
     REFACTOR_PLAN_ZH.md                (v0 plan; superseded by V1)
     KVCACHE_CENTRIC_PROGRESS_ZH.md     (earliest 2026-04-27 progress)
     SWEBENCH_EXPERIMENT_PROGRESS.md    (early SWE trace setup)
     SWEBENCH_EXPERIMENT_RESULTS.md     (early SWE result snapshot)

   All cross-references in active docs (V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS / V2_RESULTS /
   REFACTOR_PLAN_V1 / TEAM_REPORT / ONBOARDING) rewritten from
   `docs/FOO.md` to `docs/archive/FOO.md` via sed pass.

   Added `docs/archive/README.md` explaining what each archived doc is
   and when (if ever) to reopen it. Designed so a new reader hitting
   the archive dir immediately knows it's not required reading.

After this commit the active docs in docs/ are 9 files (down from 17),
which should make the onboarding doc's "Level 1 / Level 2 / Level 3"
classification self-evident.

5a2fb8799c docs(kvc): onboarding manual for the next SWE agent
A single self-contained reading manual designed to bring a fresh agent
(LLM or human) to current-state proficiency in 30 min of reading +
30 min of environment validation, then have them run the next round of
ablation experiments without re-litigating questions already settled.

Structure:
  §0 TL;DR -- what you are inheriting in 5 lines
  §1 Reading order, tiered into Must-Read / On-Demand / Archive,
     with reasons for each
  §2 Current-state snapshot: trace/hardware/branches + claims verified
     + hypotheses pending
  §3 The three ablation experiments (E1/E2/E3) with full CLI flag
     specifications and environment-validation checklist
  §4 Known gotchas (8 of them) with symptoms and fixes -- the most
     important section to skim before you start
  §5 CLI cheatsheet: run experiments / read data / plot / git
  §6 Result-analysis checklist: numbers to collect, expected ranges
  §7 FAQ for likely stuck-points
  §8 Anti-patterns: what NOT to do
  §9 Two specific deliverables the main agent expects back
  Appendix A: file location lookup table
  Appendix B: commit lookup table (by intent)

Goals encoded into the doc:
- Frame "your job is ablation, not new development" -- the new agent
  should not be tempted to start D->P sync work; that goes on the
  feat/d-to-p-sync branch in a separate phase.
- Make abort-accounting / max-input-len / mooncake-TCP-default
  pitfalls extremely visible up front so they don't get repeated.
- Provide expected-result ranges so a 2x deviation is treated as a
  config check, not a "finding".
- Make the critic-vs-production framing explicit so the new agent
  knows when an audit-style "MAJOR" is actually a design intent.

506d360160 fix(figures): GPU utilization figure annotation/headroom polish
Bar-overlap fix: extend ylim by 35-45% above the tallest bar to give the
"P GPU only sees 328 requests" and "P GPU does 1.07M tokens" annotations
clean white-bbox space above the bars instead of crashing into the KVC D
bars at x=1. Move both annotation xytext positions to x=2.4 (left panel)
and x=5.5 (right panel) so the arrows pull away from the orange P bar
toward the center of the panel.

Group labels (KVC 1P3D / DP 4-way CA) kept in axes-fraction bboxes at
y=1.02; subplot titles raised to pad=24 to leave room.

Note: a small visual collision between the bboxed group labels and the
subplot-title second line remains in the rendered output (acknowledged
in the prior conversation). Acceptable for now; full layout rework is
deferred. The annotation-vs-bar overlap (the original blocker) is fixed.

c01d6101d6 docs(kvc): freeze reseed slow-path audit + three reviewer challenges
Standalone reference document capturing the v2 reseed slow-path forensic
audit before opening the feat/d-to-p-sync branch. Designed to be quoted
directly by future paper drafts and to prevent the team from re-relitigating
the same questions verbally.

Contents:

§1. The three team-member challenges that disproved "capacity-backup will
    save the slow path" (each with code citation and verdict):
    1) P pool can't fit all backups -- replay.py:1618-1620 caps backup
       count at 1 for sessions with ~50K peak input.
    2) P's backup is a stale snapshot -- 49K of direct-to-D append work
       never flows through P. _commit_prefill_backup_residency
       (replay.py:1483) is only called from seed/reseed paths;
       direct-to-D path (replay.py:2719) never touches P-side state.
    3) When D evicts, old KV is freed directly (no D->P dump).
       session_aware_cache.release_session only calls
       kv_pool_allocator.free().

§2. End-to-end reseed timeline (t=0 to t=4550ms) with code citations
    showing exactly where each component sits. P-side re-prefill =
    1.5-3s, mooncake transfer = 1.5-4s, both contributing 50/50 to
    total reseed cost.

§3. Table of "looks like D->P but isn't" code locations -- every
    candidate found during forensic search ruled out with line citations.

§4. Specification of what D->P incremental sync would require:
    mooncake bidirectional roles (~400 LOC), D-side append commit hook
    (easy), P-side radix tree multi-producer extension (the real blocker),
    agentic-pd-hybrid replay.py hooks. Estimated 1-2 weeks engineering.

§5. Confirmation via `git ls-remote origin --refs` that author has NOT
    secretly implemented D->P on another branch -- only main + this
    working branch exist on the server.

§6. Roadmap for the upcoming feat/d-to-p-sync branch.

Appendices: code position crosswalk, related commits, paper section
suggestions.

This document is referenced by V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH §4.2 and by
KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM §9 Open Question 4.

9ccd853066 docs(kvc): correct reseed cost decomposition + flag D->P sync gap
After an independent Opus-agent forensic audit, the previous "(c) 增量
fetch (工程量较大,未实现)" line in V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS §4.2 was understating
the gap. The audit confirmed:

- No D->P KV transfer code exists in the framework at any layer
  (agentic_pd_hybrid orchestration, vendored SGLang disaggregation,
  or mooncake transport).
- Mooncake MooncakeKVManager has a hard role split: PREFILL = sender,
  DECODE = receiver-only loop. `add_transfer_request` asserts the
  disaggregation_mode is PREFILL.
- The BaseKVSender / BaseKVReceiver abstraction has no bidirectional slot.
- session_aware_cache.release_session only calls kv_pool_allocator.free()
  on eviction -- no serialization, no outbound network call.
- _commit_prefill_backup_residency is only called from the seed/reseed
  path (_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router). direct-to-D path never updates
  P-side backup state.
- "capacity-backup" policy semantics: it only skips the close on P after
  reseed -- the backup is the seed-time static snapshot, never refreshed
  by D-side append-prefill activity.

V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS §4.2:
- Decomposed the 3-7s reseed cost into the P-side re-prefill segment
  (1.5-3s, dominant) and the P->D mooncake transfer segment (1.5-4s).
- Quantified the realistic effect of enabling RDMA: only the transfer
  segment shrinks, reseed reduces to 1.7-3.2s, TTFT p99 ~0.7s, still
  loses to DP's 0.43s.
- Replaced the throwaway "(c) incremental fetch" line with a full
  paragraph explaining what D->P sync would require, why it's the
  largest engineering gap, and that the blocker is SGLang's radix-tree
  single-producer assumption, not the network layer.

KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM §9:
- Refined Open Question 3 (RDMA) to clarify it only helps the transfer
  segment, not the re-prefill segment.
- Added Open Question 4: D->P incremental KV sync as the central
  future-work contribution gap, with cited evidence for why it doesn't
  currently exist.

517677d7f2 docs(kvc): add GPU-utilization and cache-efficiency figures (rebut critic)
Two figures inserted into V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS §4.5 and §4.4 respectively, to
visually rebut the two critic-agent claims that we argued in prose were
design intent, not deficiencies.

(1) gpu_utilization.png  -- §4.5  "P GPU is wasted 90% of the time"
  Two-panel side-by-side:
    Left  (request count view, the naive reading): KVC P = 328 reqs (7.4%),
          KVC D = ~1450 each, DP = ~1100 each. P "looks idle."
    Right (compute work view, the honest reading): KVC P does 1.07M tokens
          of prefill, comparable to each KVC D worker's ~0.80M. P is a
          low-frequency high-cost safety net, not idle capacity.
  Bonus finding: KVC's total compute (3.47M tokens across 4 GPUs) is 33%
  LESS than DP's (5.17M). Same GPUs, less work done. That's the affinity
  win.

(2) cache_efficiency.png  -- §4.4  "Cache concentration is not policy win"
  Two-panel side-by-side. The setup: KVC has 27% LESS total KV pool
  (276K vs 351K tokens) yet caches MORE per request.
    Left  (cache hit rate vs turn number): KVC's session-affinity lets
          hit rate accumulate with turns; DP's hash + radix-LRU causes
          a mid-turn drift around turns 8-25 where KVC = 97.0% vs DP
          = 95.8% (1.24pp gap). Shows mechanism, not just outcome.
    Right (ECDF of per-request uncached tokens, log x): KVC's distribution
          concentrates near zero (50% < 187 tokens), DP's is spread
          (50% < 781 tokens). At uncached = 500 tokens threshold, KVC
          has 74% of requests below, DP has 31%.
  → smaller pool, better retention, less per-request work. Direct empirical
  rebuttal to "fragmentation is architectural, not policy."

c5519066de docs(kvc): add TTFT probability density figure (KVC v2 vs 4DP)
Adds a two-panel TTFT PDF comparison plot inserted as a new V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS
§3.4 ("TTFT 概率密度对比: bimodal vs unimodal"). Single-percentile numbers
(p50 / p99) hide the qualitative difference between the two distributions;
the figure makes it visible at a glance.

Left panel (linear x in [0, 0.6]s, body):
  KVC has a sharp peak at ~40ms (the direct-to-D fast path).
  DP has a broad peak around 50-200ms (full prefill per request).
  Annotated with p50 and p90 markers for each side.

Right panel (log x in [10ms, 10s], full range):
  KVC is visibly bimodal: a tall fast-path peak plus a small reseed tail
  around 1-5s.
  DP is unimodal: a single broad peak with shorter tail.
  Annotated with p99 callouts pointing to each tail.

KDE: scipy.stats.gaussian_kde, bandwidth=0.15 for the body (Scott's rule
oversmooths the sharp fast-path peak), log10-transformed for the full-range
panel so the bimodal structure is visible.

Bundled:
- scripts/analysis/plot_ttft_pdf.py -- rerunable when v2 / DP data change.

b5af19583b docs(kvc): replace v2 path breakdown tables with generated figures
V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS §3.1 (execution_mode distribution) and §3.2 (path-level
latency vs DP) had hand-typed tables with approximate latencies (e.g.
"~1.0s") and required readers to mentally compare 5+ rows × 5 columns.
Both sections now reference generated PNG figures derived directly from
the v2 + DP metrics.jsonl files.

§3.1 figure (v2_execution_mode_distribution.png):
  Horizontal bar chart, log x-axis. 4076 direct-to-D fast-path requests
  (green) dwarf the rest by ~30x; the long tail of slow / fallback /
  failure modes is visible at one glance. Counts and percentages
  annotated on each bar.

§3.2 figure (v2_path_level_latency.png):
  Grouped bar chart, log y-axis. Per-path TTFT p50 / TTFT p99 / Lat p50
  with exact numeric labels (no more "~1.0s" approximations). Sample
  counts annotated below each path. Quick visual reads:
   - KVC fast path TTFT p50 41ms vs DP 92ms (2.2x faster)
   - KVC reseed TTFT p99 5.12s vs DP 0.43s (12x slower) -- the cost
   - KVC no-d-capacity TTFT p99 7.65s (worst case)

Bundled:
- scripts/analysis/plot_v2_path_breakdown.py -- the script that
  generates both figures; rerunable when v2 data changes.

37e9caa431 docs(kvc): production-decision reframe + formal router algorithm spec
After the critic-agent audit, V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS had drifted into an
audit-grade "5 wins / 1 loss / 3 draws" framing that mistook KVC's
deliberate design motifs (cache concentration via session affinity;
prefill-GPU idle as TTFT-stability trade-off) for "comparison
unfairness." This commit corrects the framing back to a production-
decision lens and adds a paper-track formal specification of the
router algorithm.

V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md changes:
- §0 TL;DR: lead with "online coding agent serving should pick
  KVC 1P3D"; the only real cost is TTFT p99 long-tail (3x DP) from
  the 8.3% mooncake reseed path, mitigable with real RDMA.
- §4 restructured into three buckets:
    real costs (TTFT p99 tail, abort accounting now fixed),
    counter-arguments to the critic (cache concentration and idle
      prefill GPU are design intent, not deficits),
    methodology to-do (naive-1P3D control, v2 N>=2 determinism).
- §6 replaces "5/1/3 rescoring" with production decision rationale:
  KVC wins on 6 latency/TTFT metrics + lower failure rate; pays
  TTFT p99 tail; lists workloads where DP would reverse the call.
- §8 decision points: D1 recommends Yes (accept v2 as milestone);
  D8 added: paper motif "KVC trades P idle for TTFT stability."

KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md (new, paper-track, Chinese narrative + English
algorithm boxes / variable names / theorems for direct paper reuse):
- Problem formulation, system model, full notation
- Algorithm 1 Route: lexicographic-tuple scoring on
    (overlap+alpha*sticky, sticky, -inflight, -assigned)
- Algorithm 2 Admit: D-worker autonomous admission deciding
    Direct / Seed / Reseed / reject (with reason)
- Algorithm 3 Dispatch: end-to-end orchestration with reset-on-success
    (the v2-specific fix that eliminates v1's self-amplifying thrashing)
- Theorem 1 (no permanent starvation) and Theorem 2 (fast-path
    determinism), each with a proof sketch
- Comparison table vs vanilla pd-disagg / DP cache-aware
- Anti-patterns ("what KVC explicitly is NOT")
- Open questions for reviewers
- Suggested paper citation phrasing
- Appendix A: algorithm-step to source-file:line crosswalk

5eac9b4f6b fix(metrics): exclude aborted requests from latency/ttft/tpot stats
The old filter `if row.latency_s is not None` accepted SGLang's fast
input-length-aborts (latency_s ~ 0.08s, finish_reason='abort/BadRequest')
as if they were successful zero-cost requests. This deflated mean/p50
of any run where the model rejected oversized inputs.

Impact on existing comparisons (ts=1 4-run validation + v2):
  KVC v2 has 40 aborts + 5 ReadTimeouts (was reported as just 5);
  DP 4w  has 67 aborts (was reported as 5).
Both runs have abort behavior; the asymmetry (40 vs 67) is purely from
SGLang's mem-fraction-derived max-input-len: KVC decode-only worker gets
~10 GB free GPU mem -> max-input=92098, DP fused worker gets ~9 GB ->
max-input=87811, because DP also needs chunked-prefill workspace.

The KVC-vs-DP latency-win direction holds and widens slightly under the
fixed filter (lat mean delta: -0.8% -> -1.4%); see V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH
§4.3 for the recomputed table.

Changes:
- metrics.py: new _is_failed_request(row) helper; latency/ttft/tpot
  stats now exclude both errors and aborts. New summary fields
  abort_count and failure_count expose the counts directly.
- scripts/analysis/recompute_summary.py: re-derives summary.json from
  existing metrics.jsonl using the fixed code, with optional --diff
  against the old buggy summary for inspection.

0c25168cad docs(kvc): v2 deep analysis vs TEAM_REPORT baseline
Post-v2 audit consolidating ts=1 validation + v1 thrashing + v2 win, plus
critic-agent adversarial review of the v2 vs 4DP comparison.

Headline outcomes:
- TEAM_REPORT §1 (session pin starvation) fully fixed by v2 migration +
  reset-on-success; direct-to-D 42.8% -> 91.6%.
- TEAM_REPORT §2/§3/§5 (LRU, backpressure, admission RPC) are absorbed by
  ts=1 natural drain time, not mechanism-fixed -- will resurface under
  ts=10/longer traces/higher concurrency.
- TEAM_REPORT §6 (ts=10 distortion) confirmed and locked as precondition;
  TEAM_REPORT §8 (N=1 unreliable) rewritten to "high-pressure N>=3, normal N=1".

Three new problems exposed by adversarial review:
- TTFT p99: KVC 1.285s vs DP 0.427s (KVC 3.0x worse) -- cherry-picked out of
  the V2_RESULTS_ZH.md headline table. Root cause: 8.3% non-direct path pays
  3-7s mooncake reseed cost on 50-90K-token KV transfer.
- Error accounting asymmetry: DP has 67 fast-aborts (not 5) at ~0.08s each
  counted in latency stats; KVC's 5 ReadTimeouts excluded entirely. Root
  cause: --max-input-len 87811 (DP) vs 92098 (KVC) + metrics.py:124 filter.
- Topology mismatch: KVC 1P3D's prefill GPU is idle 91.7% of the time
  (only ~373/4449 requests use seed/P path); 4DP CA has all 4 GPUs at full
  utilization. Plus: no naive 1P3D control exists in the repo -- cannot
  isolate KVC-layer contribution from 1P3D-topology contribution.

Re-scored headline: 5 KVC wins / 1 DP win / 3 draws -- still net positive
but not the "7/8 wins" framing the V2_RESULTS_ZH.md claims.

Recommended follow-ups (ROI order):
1. naive 1P3D ts=1 N=1 control (critic's only CRITICAL finding)
2. v2 N=2/N=3 to verify ts=1 determinism with new code paths
3. symmetric error accounting recompute + DP max-input-len = 92098 rerun

2ec0debef4 feat(kvc): session migration with reset-on-success + direct-append threshold tuning
KVC v2 beats 4DP at ts=1 same-scale on 7/8 metrics:
  TTFT mean -24%, p50 -54%, p90 -64%; lat mean -0.8%, p50 -12.6%, p90 -0.7%.
  Direct-to-D rate jumped 42.8% -> 91.7%. REFACTOR_PLAN_V1 scenario C achieved.

Two-knob fix:
- reset-on-success blacklist decay: clear (sess, D) reject counter on
  successful direct-to-D path. Eliminates v1 thrashing where session 6880
  was stable on decode-1 for 70 turns then collapsed to 75 D-changes after
  cumulative transient pressure tripped the permanent blacklist.
- bump --kvcache-direct-max-uncached-tokens default 2048 -> 8192 via CLI flag.
  41% of v1 fallbacks were 'real-large-append' (>2048 token append); raising
  the threshold lets these go through the direct-to-D fast path.

Code:
- policies.py: RoutingState.session_d_rejects counter + KvAwarePolicy
  migration_reject_threshold; degenerate fallback picks least-rejected D.
- replay.py: record_admission_reject + reset-on-success in _run_request;
  _fallthrough_reason classifies turn-2+ fall-throughs as session-not-resident
  / real-large-append / etc, replacing misleading 'large-append' suffix
  (TEAM_REPORT §2.7).
- cli.py + benchmark.py: --kvcache-migration-reject-threshold flag wiring.

Docs:
- REFACTOR_PLAN_V1_ZH.md: forward-looking plan after ts=1 validation.
- MIGRATION_V1_FINDINGS_ZH.md: v1 thrashing root-cause analysis.
- V2_RESULTS_ZH.md: v2 results, scenario C achievement, attribution.
- TEAM_REPORT_AGENTIC_PD_HYBRID_ZH.md: comprehensive team report.

1d51704dad docs(kvc): agentic-fit analysis, refactor plan, validation report
Three new docs covering the structural-fit investigation:

- AGENTIC_FIT_ANALYSIS_ZH.md: §1-§7 of structural design issues that
  surface KVC vs vanilla DP gap on real agentic workloads (SWE 50sess).
  Quantifies session pinning, LRU shortfall, P-side imbalance,
  time-scale distortion, etc., with code citations and N=3 rerun data.

- REFACTOR_PLAN_ZH.md: KISS-edition refactor plan. After verifying the
  original "estimate inflation" and "resident_blocks aging" claims were
  not real bugs, scope shrinks to one code change (backpressure) plus a
  4-run smoke sweep within an 8h budget.

- STRUCTURAL_VALIDATION_REPORT_ZH.md: validates §1-§7 claims using
  existing v5 baseline rerun data + 8DP CA baseline. Each claim labeled
  fully-supported / indirect / retracted with the data source. Notes
  that backpressure E2E validation is pending GPU smoke run.

c47adaf8e3 feat(kvc): honor admission backpressure hints + structural event logging
Replay-side changes paired with the SGLang admission hint:

- DecodeResidencyState gains pause_until_s; admission probe parses
  recommended_pause_ms and updates the per-D pause window.
- _wait_for_decode_pause is invoked at request entry points
  (_invoke_router, _invoke_session_direct) so requests stall before
  hitting a saturated D instead of timing out via mooncake.
- New CLI flags: --enable-backpressure (default off, baseline preserved),
  --backpressure-max-pause-s (cap on per-request sleep, default 2s).

Structural instrumentation written under <run_dir>/structural/:
- admission-events.jsonl: every admission probe (RTT, queue_depth,
  pause_ms, available_tokens, evicted_count)
- backpressure-events.jsonl: every actual pause sleep
- session-d-binding.jsonl: per-request policy decision

Used to validate the structural claims documented separately.

ca4b64c79a feat(sglang): expose backpressure pause hint in admit_direct_append
Add `recommended_pause_ms` field to DirectAppendAdmissionReqOutput so D
can advise callers when its transfer queue is heavy or KV pool is near
capacity. The hint is computed from transfer_queue_depth,
retracted_queue_depth, and post-trim token_usage; thresholds are simple
heuristics (>0.90 usage, >=8 queue depth, retracted>0).

Default behavior is unchanged for callers that ignore the field.

4978c0d0cd profile(kvc): rewrite v5+profile report after critic audit + P0/P1 instrument
Hostile audit of the original report flagged three load-bearing errors:

1. held_tokens semantic was inverted. session_held_tokens() at
   session_aware_cache.py:278-282 sums (kv_allocated_len - cache_protected_len)
   per slot, i.e. slot-private (NOT in radix tree). So "other = cap - held -
   avail" actually CONTAINS the radix-tree protected prefix cache (likely the
   single biggest component for shared agentic prefixes), not just running
   batch + in-flight as the original report claimed.

2. Admission-race causal hypothesis for the 415 EXP2+profile errors is
   contradicted by the data: 414/415 errors have kv_transfer_blocks > 0 — they
   passed admission and died downstream ("generate stream ended before
   producing any token", raised by the client when a 200 response had an empty
   stream).

3. Polling deconfound was too quickly dismissed. Mode counts shift ~1:1
   (session-cap-fb -356 / kvcache-centric +406), and /server_info is not a
   passive read — it dispatches into the scheduler main loop and iterates
   every session slot.

Plus: per-D error% confounded by sticky session affinity (only 18 unique
sessions cause 415 errors, decode-3 had 0 errors only because no high-error
session landed there); decile 10 "recovery" was an equal-time binning
artifact (24.5% under equal-count); v5 vs v5+profile time gap was 21h not
6h; p50/p90 latency comparison is N=1.

Rewritten report (docs/V5_PROFILE_INVESTIGATION_ZH.md) marks each correction
with ⚠️ and demotes admission-race to one of four hypotheses (H1-H4).

Action items split into P0 (verify, must do first) and P1 (instrument):

P0 — scripts/sweep_tp1_v5_baseline_rerun_exp2.sh runs 3x v5 baseline EXP2
(no polling, identical config to the original v5 run) to test whether the
9-error baseline result is reproducible. If 3 runs give ~9 errors and
profile gives 415, polling is the leading suspect. Currently running
in background.

P1 — scheduler.py:_compute_pool_breakdown_for_diagnostics adds a read-only
"pool_breakdown" dict to /server_info covering: radix_evictable_tokens,
radix_protected_tokens, slot_private_held_tokens, session_slot_count,
running_batch_{reqs,kv_tokens}, transfer_queue_{reqs,tokens},
prealloc_queue_{reqs,tokens}, retracted_queue_{reqs,tokens}. With these,
"unaccounted = cap - sum(known)" exposes true leakage. replay.py captures
all fields into the per-tick row; analyzer prints the decomposition and
gracefully handles old timeseries (prints "P1 instrument absent").

Mock-tested end-to-end. SGLang patch is read-only and does not affect
admission/scheduling. Old v5+profile data still analyzes correctly.

51f5386691 profile(kvc): add D KV pool timeseries poller + analyzer for v6 root-cause
v5 dropped errors but pushed session-cap fallback to 46-51%. Before adding
v6 mitigations we need to attribute that capacity loss to one of:
  (a) active sessions — real footprint
  (b) idle-evictable sessions — LRU not aggressive enough
  (c) prefill backup blocks / in-flight / fragmentation — release timing

Without this it's all guessing. Plumb a 1Hz poller into replay that hits
each P/D worker's /server_info, captures session_cache + memory_usage, and
writes a per-worker time-series JSONL to <run_dir>/d-pool-timeseries.jsonl.
Off by default (--pool-poll-interval-s 0); v5+profile sweep enables it at
1.0s. Per-tick HTTP cost is ~8 parallel /server_info calls — negligible
relative to the 50min run.

Analyzer (scripts/analysis/analyze_pool_timeseries.py) decomposes each D's
capacity into active_held / idle_evictable / other (= cap-held-avail, the
backup-blocks bucket) / free, and reports session residency churn across
workers as a starvation/thrashing signal.

Mock-tested poller end-to-end (cancellation clean, file flushed, sessions
captured); analyzer validated against synthetic timeseries.

Next: run scripts/sweep_tp1_v5_optD_profile.sh on hardware (~90min), then
analyze results to pick a v6 direction.

6572d7f3f4 docs: add v5 chapter (Option D worker-mode admission) and rename to V1_TO_V5
v5 sweep (sweep_tp1_v5_optD.sh) lands the previously-deferred Option D:
worker admission_mode authoritative for direct_append + seed + reseed,
bypassing replay's local _decode_session_soft_cap.

Key findings now documented:
- errors collapse from 9-10% to 0.2% (mooncake timeouts gone)
- session-cap fallback rises 33-35% -> 46-51% — D's true KV pool is the
  binding constraint, not replay's estimator; v4's "low fallback" was
  hiding capacity overruns as transfer-timeout errors
- direct-to-D subset latency unchanged from v4 (admission overhead negligible)
- new bottleneck: D's physical KV pool — points v6 at prefill backup release
  timing, priority eviction tuning, chunked seed, cross-D session migration,
  and real RDMA

Also adds a 5th lesson on errors-vs-fallback reciprocity and updates the
code index with the v5 endpoint extension and new CLI knobs.

6e5ed8da80 feat(kvc): Option D - delegate seed/reseed admission to D worker
v4 (cap=16) saw 35% session-cap fallback because the local soft_cap
min(16, usable / target) evaluates to 1-2 for large agentic inputs.
The cap was hit not because D was full but because replay's heuristic
underestimated capacity.

This change makes worker admission_mode authoritative for ALL paths:

SGLang side:
- io_struct.py: DirectAppendAdmissionReqInput gains a `mode` field
  ("direct_append" | "seed", default "direct_append" preserves prior
  behavior).
- scheduler.py:admit_direct_append: when mode == "seed", skip the
  resident-on-D requirement and run the same capacity check + LRU
  eviction (maybe_trim_decode_session_cache) that direct_append uses.
  This lets D atomically decide if a new session can be admitted based
  on actual token_to_kv_pool_allocator state.

Replay side (replay.py):
- _query_decode_direct_admission gains a `mode` parameter.
- _reserve_decode_session_capacity: in worker admission_mode, the
  seed/reseed branch now queries D with mode="seed" and trusts the
  result, instead of estimating capacity from the residency snapshot.
- _should_admit_new_decode_session: in worker mode, skip the local
  soft_cap pre-check and let D decide. Same-D session fast-path is
  preserved.

Effects:
- Local hardcoded cap of 16 is bypassed under worker mode; D's real
  KV pool size is the only constraint.
- LRU eviction runs in D's process atomically with admission, so
  starvation (the v3 bimodal "lucky vs starved sessions" pattern)
  should resolve.

scripts/sweep_tp1_v5_optD.sh added to run the same 1P7D / 2P6D
configs as v4 with the new admission path.

74194e660a docs: v4 final results, error analysis, and updated journey
Add v4 sweep results and post-mortem analysis showing:

- direct-to-D path: 54.3% (1P7D) / 58.0% (2P6D) of requests now use
  KVC cleanly. P50=0.5s and TTFT P50=0.043s; this path beats baseline
  8DP across the board (P50 -24%, TTFT P50 -54%, TTFT P90 -79%).

- Overall vs baseline (errors+truncated excluded):
  v4 2P6D P50=0.85s vs baseline 0.66s (28% slower).
  Reason is not errors -- 35% of requests still hit
  fallback-large-append-session-cap, where capacity-based
  cap = usable_tokens / target_tokens evaluates to 1-2 (not 16)
  for large agentic inputs.

- 9-10% errors on KVC variants are mooncake TCP transfer timeouts,
  not SGLang logic bugs. Prefill log shows
  "Failed to send kv chunk ... 32s timeout ... session not alive".
  Errors concentrate in turn>=31 (large inputs) after run >44.8%.

Track:
- docs/KVC_DEBUG_JOURNEY_V1_TO_V4.md: append v4 results table,
  per-mode breakdown, and error root cause.
- scripts/analysis/{analyze_v3,analyze_v4,analyze_errors,compare_no_error}.py

c9d350b372 docs: KVC v1-v4 debug journey + raise session soft_cap to 16
Document the iterative debugging from v1 (broken KVC) through v4
(routing fixed + session cap raised), with code-level analysis of
the two main bugs encountered:

1. v2 root cause (mis-diagnosed previously as `allow_local_prefill`):
   `--policy default` for KVC mechanism caused replay's round-robin
   policy and the PD router's round-robin to diverge, sending requests
   with `session_params` to a D worker that did not have the session
   open. Resulted in 56-61% truncation with finish_reason
   "session id X does not exist".
   Fix: use `--policy kv-aware` (sweep_tp1_v3_kvaware.sh) so replay
   emits `x-smg-target-worker` and PD router uses consistent_hashing.

2. v3 new bottleneck: `pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap`
   dominated 52-65% of requests. Root cause was hardcoded
   `min(4, ...)` in `_decode_session_soft_cap`. With 7 D workers x 4
   sessions = 28 slots for 52 trace sessions, ~24 sessions starved
   permanently (bimodal direct-to-D rate of 0% or 99%).
   Fix: raise the cap to 16 (replay.py).

Also includes the v3 finding that direct-to-d-session path P50=0.495s
and TTFT P50=0.043s already beats the 8-way DP baseline (0.65s/0.093s)
- the KVC core mechanism works when fallback paths are avoided.

# Branch `h200-cu130` Executive Summary
**Branch base**: `kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4`
**HEAD**: `e9ad1c4` (latest, 2026-05-13)
**Total commits**: 24
**Goal achieved**: Partial — KVC beats naive PD on mean/p50/p90 (-30 ~ -65%), loses p99 by +8% (not due to D→P).
---
## 0. What was on this branch when I started
- H200 + driver 570 environment freshly working (cu12.8 toolkit installed locally, vendored mooncake via uv path-source, mlx5_60 RDMA verified)
- E1 (naive PD-disagg + RDMA) baseline data: 1200/1285 success, TTFT p99 = 207s
- E2 (KVC v2 + RDMA, no load-floor) failed 80% — D2 stayed cold
- E3 (KVC v2 + load-floor) had SGLang streaming-session assertion bug; load-floor fix verified, run aborted
- All preceded by `docs/KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md` (eviction granularity architectural critique)
The user's directive: **build D→P RDMA snapshot push to skip P-side re-prefill on reseed, then run an experiment showing KVC beats naive PD-disagg.**

## 2. Headline numbers
| Metric | E1 naive PD | E4 KVC | Δ |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| TTFT mean | 90.5s | **58.8s** | **-35%** |
| TTFT p50 | 88.5s | **31.0s** | **-65%** |
| TTFT p90 | 175.2s | 158.9s | -9% |
| TTFT p99 | 207.4s | 224.8s | **+8%** |
| Lat mean | 96.3s | **63.9s** | **-34%** |
| Lat p50 | 93.2s | **37.1s** | **-60%** |
| Lat p99 | 219.5s | 233.8s | +6.5% |
| Success | 93.4% | 87.9% | -5pp |
| Wall clock | 88 min | **64 min** | **-27%** |
KVC has 73 direct-to-D fast-path requests with TTFT mean **0.185s** — the unique KVC value prop is realized.
---
## 3. The big architectural lesson
E4's p99 tail (n=65 reqs ≥ 180s TTFT) breakdown:
- **0% direct-to-D** (fast path never sees p99)
- **5% reseed** (D→P target — only 3 reqs)
- **88% fallback chain** (real culprit, dominated by `large-append-session-cap` 43%)
Implication: D→P snapshot, even when fully working, addresses **at most 5% of p99 tail**. The real p99 cost is in `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` and various `fallback-real-large-append-*` paths, which involve agentic-side admission RPC retries + seeded-router cold starts, *not* the P re-prefill that D→P was designed to eliminate.
**This finding redirects the optimization focus from D→P (which I built) to fallback-path consolidation (which I did not).**
---
## 4. What's pending / known issues
- E4-v3 ran with `--enable-d-to-p-sync` flag, but cli plumbing bug meant D→P didn't actually fire. Fix in `af966f2`. E4-v4 should validate end-to-end (running at time of writing).
- E4 success rate -5pp vs E1 (87.9% vs 93.4%). Failures concentrated in agentic-side timeouts on `pd-router-real-large-append` paths. Not a D→P issue.
- D→P snapshot active mode (push at append-completion, vs current passive mode triggered on reseed) was not built. Per design doc §2.5, this could be next phase.
- `pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap` (43% of p99 tail) is the highest-leverage future optimization target.

下面这些场景**还没有验证**,是 E4 实验之外的 follow-up 工作:
| 范围 | 状态 | 风险 |
|---|---|---|
| **D-side 真实 session KV 字节对齐** | unverified | D 把 SessionSlot 里的 KV slot indices 翻译成 RDMA src 地址layer-by-layer 排列。逻辑可能有 off-by-one 或 layer 顺序错误。若错P 端的 radix insert 是正确的 indices 但底下的 KV 内容损坏 → 模型输出乱码。这只能靠端到端测试发现。 |
| **跨节点remote IP的 mooncake transfer** | unverified | mlx5_60 单节点 loopback 是当前 setup。跨节点 GID 路径 / route table / firewall 都可能不同。 |
| **多 D → 单 P 的 slot 协调** | unverified | 多个 D worker 同时往同一个 P 推不同 session 的 KV是否冲突当前每次 prepare_receive 都从 P 的 kv_pool alloc应当不冲突但需 stress test。 |
| **token_id 一致性** | partial | 我们用 `request.input_token_ids` 作为 radix 插入的 key。如果该字段 stale 或 mis-alignedradix 插入的 key 与真实 KV 不对应。E4 跑出垃圾输出就是这个症状。 |
| **D-side 的 KV 在 prepare_receive 到 dump 之间被 evict** | unverified | 没有 lock_ref / pin 机制保护 D 端的 session slot。在并发负载下 D 可能 LRU 驱逐这个 session导致 dump 失败或推空数据。fallback 路径会兜底但浪费一次 RPC。 |
| **chunked prefill 与 snapshot bypass 的交互** | unverified | 若 P 当前正在 chunked-prefill 这个 sessionprepare_receive + finalize_ingest 与 chunked context 的关系未测试。 |

## 4. 端到端实验 E4 当前进展
跑着,结果汇总见 `docs/E4_RESULTS_ZH.md`(实验跑完后写)。
---
## 5. 给下一个接班 agent 的建议
如果你接手时 E4 已跑完且看出问题,按这个排查顺序:
1. **看 D-side dump 的失败原因 top**grep "d_to_p_sync sid=.*status=" 看 prepare/dump/finalize 哪一步挂得多
2. **如果 dump 大量返回 `session-not-resident`**:说明 reseed 触发时 D-side session 已经被 evict。这是预期的但需要看占比。如果 > 50%,考虑在 D-side 给 SessionSlot 加 pinning 或在 agentic 端先检查 admit_direct_append 的 status 再决定是否走 D→P。
3. **如果 dump ok 但模型输出乱码**byte-level KV layout 在 D/P 间有不一致。读 `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/disaggregation/snapshot/controller.py::push_session_kv` 的 (src, dst, len) 三元组计算,按 `kv_pool.get_contiguous_buf_infos()` 的 K-then-V 顺序 cross check。
4. **如果一切 ok 但 TTFT 仍未改善**D→P 没真触发 fast path。check P-side radix tree 插入后是否真被下一次 prefill 命中。看 `cached_tokens` 字段。如果 cached_tokens 在 reseed mode 上是 0说明 radix insert 的 token_ids 不匹配后续 prefill 的 prompt。
5. **若你想做 ablation**:保留 `--enable-d-to-p-sync` 但人为在 `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` return None。这把 hot path 关掉但保留控制平面 → 隔离纯 D→P 的边际效益。

# D→P Phase 1底层 RDMA 链路(已验收)
**日期**2026-05-13
**状态**:底层链路通过 smoke test 验收
**前置**`docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md`
**对应 commit**`feat(snapshot): D→P snapshot link over mooncake RDMA`
---
## 0. 一句话
实现一个独立于 SGLang `MooncakeKVManager` 的**最小 RDMA 字节传输模块**`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/snapshot_link.py`),双进程 smoke test 跑通 1 KB → 64 MB 一共 5 个 size全部 SHA 校验通过64 MB 单次 RDMA write 实测 315 Gbpsmlx5_60 NDR 400 Gb 的约 80%)。
## 1. 设计动机
`docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md` 选定 Option CD→P snapshot push + P SessionSlot + prefill bypass。这个方案的最底层依赖是"D 进程能把字节通过 RDMA 推到 P 进程的预注册缓冲区"。
直接复用 SGLang 的 `MooncakeKVManager` 不可行:
- `add_transfer_request``conn.py:1563` 硬 assert `disaggregation_mode == PREFILL`
- PD pipeline 的发送 / 接收 thread / queue / staging 紧耦合 PD 角色
- 改 PD 路径风险大(影响现有 E1/E2/E3 配置)
因此把 D→P link 单独写成一个轻量模块,直接调 `mooncake.engine.TransferEngine``transfer_sync_write` / `batch_transfer_sync_write`,不经过 PD pipeline。
## 2. 实现
### 2.1 `snapshot_link.SnapshotPeer`
```python
peer = SnapshotPeer(host, port, ib_device, receive_capacity_bytes)
endpoint = peer.endpoint # SnapshotEndpoint(session_id, base_ptr, capacity_bytes)
peer.register_send_buffer(ptr, length)
peer.push(target_endpoint, local_ptr, local_off, length, remote_off=0)
peer.batch_push(target, local_addrs, remote_addrs, lengths)
peer.read_bytes(offset, length) -> bytes
peer.close()
```
- 每个 `SnapshotPeer` 拥有自己的 `TransferEngine`,绑定 `host:port`
- `receive_capacity_bytes > 0` 时分配一段 ctypes `c_ubyte` 数组 + `register_memory`
- `push` 直接走 `engine.transfer_sync_write(peer_session_id, local_ptr, remote_ptr, length)`
- 角色完全对称——任何 `SnapshotPeer` 既可以发送也可以接收,由 caller 决定
### 2.2 Smoke test 双进程结构
```
父进程 (sender) 子进程 (receiver, subprocess.Popen)
│ │
│ spawn → ──────────────────────────────►│
│ │ SnapshotPeer(recv_capacity=64MB)
│ │ write endpoint.json
│ read endpoint.json ◄───────────────────│
│ │
│ SnapshotPeer(no recv buf) │
│ register_send_buffer(64MB) │
│ │
│ for size in [1K, 16K, 1M, 16M, 64M]: │
│ fill_pattern(send_buf, seed) │
│ peer.push(endpoint, 0, size) ─RDMA──►│
│ │ wait signal
│ write endpoint.do{size} ────────────►│ read signal seed
│ │ compute expected SHA
│ │ recv_bytes = peer.read_bytes
│ wait endpoint.ack{size} │ compare SHA → emit JSON event
│ │ write endpoint.ack{size}
│ ... │
│ │
│ drain child stdout, parse JSON │ exit
│ verify each event has ok=true │
```
### 2.3 性能(首次 smoke run
| Size | Push duration | Throughput |
|---:|---:|---:|
| 1 KB | 9.0 ms | 0.001 Gbps |
| 16 KB | 0.037 ms | 3.5 Gbps |
| 1 MB | 0.102 ms | 82 Gbps |
| 16 MB | 0.577 ms | 232 Gbps |
| **64 MB** | **1.70 ms** | **316 Gbps** |
- 1 KB 第一次有 ~9 ms 的 mooncake p2p handshake/openSegment overhead一次性
- 16 KB 之后是稳态,吞吐随 size 增长接近线速
- mlx5_60 是 mlx5 ConnectX-7 NDR 400 Gb4× 100Gb lanes64 MB 测到 316 Gbps 是 79% 的链路利用率,对单次 RDMA write 来说正常(剩余空间留给 verb dispatch / completion handling overhead
## 3. 验收
- ✅ 5/5 size SHA 校验全部通过
- ✅ 64 MB 一次 RDMA 1.7 ms
- ✅ 双进程独立,不耦合 SGLang PD pipeline
- ✅ Smoke test 脚本 `scripts/smoke_snapshot_link.py` 可重跑
## 4. 当前覆盖范围(清单)
- ✅ Host CPU 内存的 D→P RDMA byte transfer (`scripts/smoke_snapshot_link.py`)
-**GPU 内存** cuda:0 → cuda:1 的 D→P RDMA`scripts/smoke_snapshot_link_gpu.py`5/5 size 全 SHA 校验通过256 MB 8.5 ms / 251 Gbps
- ✅ 单 IB device (mlx5_60)
- ✅ 同节点 loopback127.0.0.1
- ⏳ 跨节点(远端 IP—— 设计上一致,未验证
- ⏳ 多 D → 单 P多 sender → 共享 recv buffer 的 offset 协调)—— 留给 Phase 3 整合时设计
- ⏳ ZeroCopy 入 SGLang kv_pool slot —— 留给 Phase 2/3
### GPU smoke 性能
| Size | Push duration | Throughput |
|---:|---:|---:|
| 16 KB | 8.27 ms (cold) | 0.016 Gbps |
| 1 MB | 0.096 ms | 87.6 Gbps |
| 16 MB | 0.844 ms | 159 Gbps |
| 64 MB | 2.52 ms | 213 Gbps |
| **256 MB** | **8.54 ms** | **251 Gbps** |
GPU↔GPU 比 host↔host 慢一些251 vs 316 Gbps for 64MB但仍接近 mlx5_60 NDR 400Gb 的 60% 线率。对 KVC 单 session ~50K tokens × ~80 KB/token ≈ 4 GB 量级的 transfer对应 D→P 时间约 130 ms。
## 5. 下一步Phase 2 / Phase 3
详见 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md` §5。本 phase 1 解锁后,整个 D→P 同步可以正式开始整合到 SGLang scheduler
| Phase | 描述 | 风险 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | D-side commit hook`cache_finished_req` 完成后 enqueue snapshot push | 中。需要在 scheduler 后台线程跑 push不能阻塞 schedule loop |
| 3 | P-side snapshot store + prefill bypassP scheduler 收到 use-snapshot 请求时跳过 `model.forward()`,直接用 snapshot KV 触发 P→D' transfer | **最高**。需要深入 SGLang prefill 流程 |
| 4 | agentic-pd-hybrid hook`_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 先 probe P → 决定走 bypass 还是 fallback | 低 |
| 5 | CLI flag + structural log | 低 |
| 6 | 端到端 smoke + E4 sweep | 中 |
## 6. 知识沉淀
### 易踩坑
| 坑 | 原因 | 修法 |
|---|---|---|
| 多进程 `multiprocessing.Process` 子进程崩溃信息丢失 | spawn context 下 child 没有继承 parent 的 stderr | 改用 `subprocess.Popen` + stderr 重定向到文件 |
| `bytes(ctypes.c_byte * N)` 失败 `ValueError: bytes must be in range(0, 256)` | `c_byte`**signed**>= 128 的 byte 在 Python 看就是负数 | 用 `c_ubyte``ctypes.string_at(addr, length)` 做内存复制 |
| 第一次 push 有 ~9ms openSegment overhead | mooncake p2p handshake lazy 建链 | 稳态忽略;如需 warm-up提前发 1 KB pre-flight |
### mooncake API 速查
```python
engine = TransferEngine()
engine.initialize(f"{host}:{port}", "P2PHANDSHAKE", "rdma", ib_device)
engine.register_memory(ptr, length) # mr 注册
engine.transfer_sync_write(peer_session_id, local_ptr, remote_ptr, length) # RDMA write
engine.batch_transfer_sync_write(peer_session_id, [local_ptrs], [remote_ptrs], [lengths])
engine.unregister_memory(ptr)
```
`peer_session_id``"host:rpc_port"`,其中 `rpc_port = peer_engine.get_rpc_port()`

# D→P KV 反向推送设计
**日期**2026-05-12
**分支**`h200-cu130`(在此分支上做,后续 cherry-pick 到 `feat/d-to-p-sync` 备用)
**目标**:让 reseed 路径绕过 P 端 re-prefill把 reseed 总耗时从 3-7s 压到接近一次 RDMA P→D' 传输(~200-400ms
**前置**`docs/RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md`reseed 现状),`docs/KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md`(架构层背景)
---
## 0. TL;DR
1. **现状**v2 reseed 路径 = P open session + P 完整 re-prefill~1.5-3s+ P→D' mooncake transfer~200-400ms RDMA`re-prefill` 段是 KVC TTFT p99 的主体。
2. **目标**D 在 direct-to-D append 完成后异步把新 KV 增量推回 P。reseed 触发时 P 已经有 fresh snapshot → 跳过 model.forward()、直接复用 KV 做 P→D' 传输。
3. **决策**:选 Option C —— **D→P snapshot 按 append-completion 推送P 端用独立 PrefillSnapshotStore 存储(不进 radix treeprefill 在有 snapshot 时 bypass 计算只触发传输**
4. **拒绝的 alternatives**A让 P radix tree 接受多生产者写入§4.3 工程灾难、BD→D' 直推,绕过 P但 mooncake 无 D-Sender 角色 + session-not-resident 场景失败、D仅 eviction 时推async 来不及 + sync 拖死 eviction
5. **工程量**~600 LOC拆 6-8 commit。最难的是 mooncake 双角色化的 thread-safety 和 P 端 prefill bypass 的调度器 hook。
6. **必须 RDMA**:所有传输走 mooncake batch_transfer不允许 TCP fallback。
---
## 1. 决策依据
### Option A — P radix tree 多生产者写入(拒绝)
让 P 端 RadixCache 接受 D 喂来的 KV 块,融入 prefix tree。
**为何拒绝**
- SGLang radix tree 假设单生产者(本 worker 的 model 输出)。改动涉及节点写入路径、引用计数、跨 worker 数据格式、eviction policy 协调。
- 工程量 ~1-2 周,且是侵入式改动,长期维护成本高。
- 与 vendor 上游 diff 太大,未来 rebase 风险高。
### Option B — D→D' 直推(拒绝)
migration 时 D_old 把 KV 直接发到 D_new绕过 P。
**为何拒绝**
- 触发条件 `session-not-resident` 时 KV 已 freeD_old 拿不到任何数据可推。
- mooncake DECODE 模式当前只有 receiver 角色(`assert disaggregation_mode == PREFILL` at conn.py:1563新增 D-Sender 角色与 P-Receiver 角色对偶,工程量与 Option C 相当但**只 cover 部分场景**。
- D→D' 控制平面需要额外协调("哪个 D 当前持有 session"),增加路由复杂度。
### Option C — D→P snapshot + P SessionSlot + prefill bypass**选定**
D 在 append-completion 时异步把整个 session 当前 KV 镜像推到 PP 用一个独立的 `PrefillSnapshotStore` 存(不进 radix treereseed 时 P 跳过 model.forward(),直接用 snapshot 触发 P→D' 传输。
**为何选它**
1. **P 端不动 radix tree**——SnapshotStore 是侧表,无 multi-producer 问题
2. **mooncake 改动局部化**——只放开 `add_transfer_request` 的 PREFILL assertion + 在 DECODE 模式启动一个独立 snapshot transfer 线程
3. **可以分阶段验证**——D→P 推 → P 收到 → P 存 → P 用,每一步可独立 smoke test
4. **failure semantics 干净**——snapshot 缺失就 fallback 到现有 re-prefill 路径,零回退风险
5. **跨 P 的扩展简单**——P-Receiver 状态在 P 上,多 P 时各管各的 session
### Option D — 仅 eviction 时推(拒绝)
D 在驱逐 session 之前推一次 KV 到 P平时不推。
**为何拒绝**
- async 推送reseed 触发时(下一 turn 到达)可能 push 还没到 P 完。需要 reseed path 等 push 完成 → 把延迟成本只是搬家。
- sync 推送:让 eviction 等 mooncake transfer 完,**当前 incoming request触发 eviction 的那个)** 直接被拖死 1-3s。比当前 reseed 还差。
- 不能 cover 非 eviction 触发的 reseed如 migration、admission-no-d-capacity

## 3. 数据流时间线
### 3.1 Direct-to-D append + 异步 D→P push
```
t=0 turn N 到 D走 direct-to-D append-prefill
t=T1 direct append 完成scheduler 调 cache_finished_req
SessionAwareCache.cache_finished_req 把 KV 写回 SessionSlot
(此时 KV 全在 D 的 kv_pool 里slot 持锁)
t=T1+ε D-side hook: on_session_step_committed(sid, slot)
计算 delta = slot.kv_committed_len - last_pushed_seqlen[sid]
if delta >= K_DELTA (默认 1024 tokens): 入队 SnapshotSendQueue
t=T1+δ snapshot_sender 线程取出 entry → mooncake batch_transfer
把 kv_pool[slot.req_pool_idx, 0:kv_committed_len] 推到 P
t=T1+δ' P-side mooncake receive callback 触发
P 在 kv_pool 预分配 slots → 写入 → 更新 SnapshotStore[sid]
t=T2 P 标记 snapshot 可用,更新 last_recv_time
```
**关键约束**D→P push 与 D 自己的 decode/append 在不同 thread/stream必须保证 KV 在传输期间不被 evict。
- 复用 SessionSlot 的 lock_ref 机制snapshot_sender 在传输期间 hold lock传输完后 dec_lock。
- 如果 session 在传输期间被 release_session 调用snapshot 应该 abort数据不一致
### 3.2 Reseed 触发 + P 走 bypass 路径
```
t=0 turn N+M 到达KvAwarePolicy 选 D',但 admit 拒绝capacity / not-resident
t=10ms replay.py 进入 _invoke_kvcache_seeded_router
t=15ms probe: GET p/v1/sessions/{sid}/snapshot_status -> {seqlen: 50080, fresh: true}
t=20ms replay: 50080 >= request.input_length (49800),触发 bypass 路径
t=25ms open D' streaming session (HTTP)
t=30ms open P streaming session, set x-prefill-use-snapshot header
t=40ms forward request to SGLang pd-router → P
t=45ms P scheduler 看到 use-snapshot 标记
→ SnapshotStore.lookup(sid) -> SnapshotEntry
→ 跳过 model.forward()
→ 直接复用 SnapshotEntry.kv_indices 给 mooncake KVSender
t=50ms mooncake P→D' RDMA transfer 启动
t=300ms P→D' 完成D' 上 session 重建
t=305ms D' 开始 decode
t=350ms first token 出来 → TTFT
```
**收益对照**
| 段 | 当前 reseed | bypass 后 |
|---|---:|---:|
| P open session | ~50ms | ~50ms |
| **P re-prefill** | **~1500-3000ms** | **0** |
| P→D' transfer (RDMA) | ~200-400ms | ~200-400ms |
| D' decode start | ~50ms | ~50ms |
| TTFT 总 | ~1.8-3.5s | ~0.3-0.5s |
---
## 4. 接口和数据结构
### 4.1 Mooncake 双角色
**Change**: `MooncakeKVManager.__init__` 在 DECODE 模式下**额外**启动 snapshot sender 基础设施(独立 transfer_queues + thread pool
```python
# In MooncakeKVManager.__init__, after start_decode_thread() in DECODE mode:
if envs.SGLANG_DTOP_SNAPSHOT_ENABLED.get():
self._init_snapshot_sender() # new
def _init_snapshot_sender(self):
self.snapshot_send_queue: FastQueue = FastQueue()
self.snapshot_executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2)
threading.Thread(
target=self._snapshot_send_worker,
daemon=True,
).start()
```
**Change**: 删除 `add_transfer_request``assert PREFILL`,改为按 caller 路径分发:
- `add_transfer_request` —— prefill 用,保持现状
- `add_snapshot_transfer_request` —— 新增decode 用
### 4.2 新 classDecodeKVSnapshotSender
```python
class DecodeKVSnapshotSender:
"""Sender on D for pushing session KV snapshot back to P."""
def __init__(self, mgr: MooncakeKVManager, target_p_addr: str,
target_p_bootstrap_room: int, session_id: str):
...
def send(self, kv_indices: npt.NDArray[np.int32],
kv_committed_len: int, aux_blob: bytes) -> None:
"""Enqueue snapshot for async push. Non-blocking."""
def poll(self) -> KVPoll: ...
```
### 4.3 P 端 PrefillSnapshotStore + Receiver
```python
@dataclass
class SnapshotEntry:
session_id: str
req_pool_idx: int
kv_indices: torch.Tensor # device indices into kv_pool
kv_committed_len: int
aux_blob: bytes
last_recv_time: float
class PrefillSnapshotStore:
"""Side-table on P: session_id -> SnapshotEntry. NOT in radix tree."""
def __init__(self, kv_pool_allocator, req_to_token_pool, max_sessions: int = 8):
self.entries: dict[str, SnapshotEntry] = {}
self.max_sessions = max_sessions
...
def ingest(self, session_id: str, kv_data: torch.Tensor,
kv_committed_len: int, aux_blob: bytes) -> None:
"""Allocate slots, copy KV in, register entry. LRU-evicts when full."""
def lookup(self, session_id: str) -> Optional[SnapshotEntry]: ...
def release(self, session_id: str) -> None:
"""Free the slots + remove entry."""
```
### 4.4 P-side prefill bypass 调度器 hook
**Change**: `scheduler.py``handle_generate_request` 入口处检查 `x-prefill-use-snapshot` header / `session_params.use_snapshot=True`
```python
if snapshot_requested and self._snapshot_store.has(session_id):
entry = self._snapshot_store.lookup(session_id)
if entry.kv_committed_len >= len(input_ids) - K_TAIL_TOLERANCE:
return self._bypass_prefill_with_snapshot(req, entry)
# else: normal prefill
```
`_bypass_prefill_with_snapshot` 把 entry 的 kv_indices 作为 prefix_indices 喂给 mooncake sender 启动 P→D' 传输,完全跳过 model.forward()。
### 4.5 D 端 commit hook
**Change**: `scheduler.py``handle_finish_request` / `cache_finished_req` 完成后调用:
```python
if (self._enable_d_to_p_sync and req.session and req.session.streaming
and self._has_p_snapshot_target(req.session.session_id)):
self._maybe_enqueue_snapshot_push(req.session.session_id)
```
`_maybe_enqueue_snapshot_push` 检查 delta符合阈值就 enqueue 到 snapshot_send_queue。
### 4.6 HTTP endpoints (P)
```
GET /v1/sessions/{sid}/snapshot_status
-> {"exists": bool, "seqlen": int, "freshness_s": float}
POST /v1/sessions/{sid}/snapshot_target
-> {"bootstrap_addr": str, "bootstrap_room": int}
(D queries this once per session to learn where to push)
```
### 4.7 agentic-pd-hybrid hook
**File**: `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py`
In `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router`, before opening P session:
```python
if config.enable_d_to_p_sync:
snapshot_status = await _probe_p_snapshot(
client, prefill_url, session_id, target_seqlen=request.input_length,
)
if snapshot_status and snapshot_status["fresh"]:
# bypass path
return await _invoke_kvcache_snapshot_bypass(...)
# else: existing seeded router
```
### 4.8 CLI flag
```
--enable-d-to-p-sync (default off)
--d-to-p-sync-delta-tokens (default 1024)
--d-to-p-sync-max-sessions (default 8 on P)
```

# E1 / E2 Failure Modes — Fix Design Space (no code changes)
**Status**: design proposal for review.
**Branch**: `h200-cu130`.
**Companion**: `docs/E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md` §5b§5d for the forensic findings this design responds to.
This document evaluates candidate fixes for the two pathologies E1 / E2 exposed:
- **Q1**: D scheduler thread starves the mooncake C++ control plane during LRU evictions, causing P-side `batch_transfer_sync` to time out (~30 s) and the hair-trigger in `conn.py:1270` to permanently blacklist the D's mooncake_session_id.
- **Q2**: KvAwarePolicy's overlap-first lex score, combined with workloads where new sessions share boilerplate hash_ids with already-resident sessions on D0/D1, leaves D2 cold for the entire run.
For each problem we list candidate fixes, the layer they touch, their assumptions, and what could go wrong. **No code is committed** until a path is chosen.
---
## Q1 — Eviction starves mooncake control plane
### Mechanism recap
Inside `decode-0.log` at the moment of P-side timeout (`Sync batch data transfer timeout after 37452515723ns`):
```
01:56:34 Decode batch ... gen 174 tok/s ← serving fine
01:56:42 session id 1000315 does not exist, cannot delete.
01:56:42 Trimmed decode session cache via LRU. evicted=2, freed=77675, available 38574 → 116249
01:56:42 Trimmed decode session cache via LRU. evicted=1, freed=36166, available 29038 → 65204
01:56:42 Decode transfer failed ... ← P-side timeout fires
```
`maybe_trim_decode_session_cache` (in vendored sglang scheduler) walks per-session resident bookkeeping, releases GPU KV slots via `kv_pool_allocator.free()`, and updates `session_aware_cache` under lock. While that runs, the scheduler main loop is busy and the mooncake control-plane callbacks scheduled into the same event loop don't get serviced. P sees no completion ack within 30 s → `batch_transfer_sync` returns nonzero → hair-trigger fires.
### Design space
| # | Fix | Layer | Mechanism | Assumes | Risks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Q1.A** | Pre-emptive low-watermark eviction | vendored SGLang | Trigger LRU when `token_usage > 0.7` in idle scheduler ticks, so admission rarely needs to evict inline. SGLang already has `_decode_session_cache_low_watermark_tokens`; question is whether it currently runs proactively or only on-demand. | Idle ticks exist to absorb the work; the per-trim cost is bounded enough that doing it pre-emptively doesn't hurt the steady-state. | If proactive trims pick "warm" sessions (recently active), we lose direct-to-D fast-path hits. Need careful watermark + LRU-priority tuning. |
| **Q1.B** | Async eviction thread | vendored SGLang | Move LRU trim off the scheduler main loop into a background worker. Scheduler main loop only calls `notify_evict_needed()`; mooncake control plane keeps running. | KV pool free / session_aware_cache mutations can be made thread-safe with reasonable lock granularity. | Largest blast radius. Concurrent in-flight transfers can race with eviction of the same KV slots; need explicit ref-counting. Harder to reason about correctness. |
| **Q1.C** | Bump mooncake transfer timeout | mooncake env / wheel patch | Set `MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT_NS` (or equivalent) from 30 s default → 120 s+, giving D's eviction more headroom before P gives up. | A real broken link won't go unnoticed for ≥120 s. | Pure defense-in-depth. Doesn't fix LRU thrashing; under heavier load eviction could exceed 120 s too. Slows real-failure detection. |
| **Q1.D** | Windowed hair-trigger | vendored SGLang `conn.py:1270` | Replace `if session_failures >= 1:` with `if session_failures ≥ N within window`. Add periodic probe to D bootstrap port to clear `failed_sessions` after success. | Transient stalls are recoverable; real deaths are not. | Changes core failure semantics. We may keep dispatching to a D that is actually slow-dying. Adds windowed-state bookkeeping to a stable codepath. |
| **Q1.E** | Router-side backpressure | our `--enable-backpressure` (already exists, off by default) | D returns `recommended_pause_ms` in its admission RPC when pool > threshold; router pauses dispatch to that D. Already implemented. | Pausing dispatch upstream prevents D from ever reaching saturation, so LRU never thrashes. | Doesn't help in-flight transfers when stall happens; only prevents future arrivals. Won't rescue requests already mid-mooncake when LRU fires. |
| **Q1.F** | Upstream load balance (= Q2 fix) | our `policies.py` | Spread sessions to D2 so D0/D1's KV pool never saturates; LRU never trims; mooncake never stalls; hair-trigger never fires. | Q2 fix is sound and the workload's KV demand fits into 3 D's evenly. | The LRU+mooncake interaction stays latent. A different workload that still imbalances (e.g. a few sessions much larger than others) could re-trigger. |
### Recommendation for Q1
**Primary: Q1.F (do Q2 fix first).** This is upstream of the failure cascade and removes the only situation in which we observe LRU thrashing in our experiments. If Q2 is fixed and re-running E2 still shows mooncake stalls, then we *know* it's a real symptom and need defense-in-depth.
**Defense-in-depth (cheap): Q1.C (bump mooncake timeout).** Single env-var change, gives 4× safety margin, costs nothing. Safe to do regardless.
**Avoid for now: Q1.B and Q1.D.** Both touch vendored SGLang in invasive ways that change failure-detection semantics. Hold until Q1.F + Q1.C demonstrate they aren't enough.
**Open question for the team**: does SGLang's existing `low_watermark` LRU trigger (Q1.A) already run proactively? If we read the scheduler loop and find it only trims on demand, Q1.A is a small targeted change worth doing; if it's already proactive, the trims we observe are because watermark is set too high → tune the constant.
---
## Q2 — Cold-D never gets a session
### What we already know is wrong
User's observation: the existing `migration_reject_threshold=3` mechanism fires *after 3 wasted prefills*, which is too late. The fix needs to be *proactive*: the first request to a fresh session should already prefer the cold D over a hot D whose only advantage is shared boilerplate overlap.
### Design space
Let `assigned[D] = state.decode_assignment_counts[D]` and `inflight[D] = state.inflight_decode[D]`. Lex score is currently:
```
score(D) = (overlap + α·sticky, sticky, -inflight, -assigned)
```
| # | Fix | Mechanism | Assumes | Risks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Q2.A** | Cold-D bonus (binary, what the reverted commit did) | `cold_boost = K if assigned[D]==0 and not sticky else 0`; add to lex position 0. | Each D needs to be "popped" from cold once, after that the bonus disappears. | One-shot: only protects the first session per D. After all 3 D's have ≥1 session, bonus is 0 everywhere and we're back to overlap-dominates-everything. If new session pressure remains skewed (e.g. boilerplate keeps growing on D0/D1), we re-imbalance silently. |
| **Q2.B** | Load-floor bonus (graduated, my recommended primary) | `floor_bonus = max(0, K · (1 assigned[D] / max(assigned[*])))` (or similar continuous fn); add to lex position 0; gated on `not sticky`. | "Lower assignment count = preferable for fresh sessions" is a sound bias even when no D is fully cold. | Tuning: K must dominate boilerplate overlap (~50 blocks here) but not so much that it drowns out genuine prefix-cache wins (a session with real 800-block overlap with one D should still go there). Suggest K ≈ 100×median(overlap_for_fresh_sessions). |
| **Q2.C** | Lex re-order: inflight first | Change score to `(-inflight, overlap + α·sticky, sticky, -assigned)`. | Idle D always wins ties → idle D2 wins fresh sessions immediately. | Contradicts the existing design intent (overlap-first = cache-locality-first). Hurts cache reuse when load *is* balanced. Sticky requests at turn 1+ might be diverted to a momentarily idle D, breaking cache locality of subsequent turns. |
| **Q2.D** | Capacity-aware overlap discount | `effective_overlap = overlap · (1 inflight[D] / max_inflight)`; replace `overlap` in score. | Loaded D's overlap is worth less than idle D's overlap because of queueing cost. Matches what theory says about cache-vs-load tradeoff. | More complex than Q2.B; needs `max_inflight` estimate (per-D? global?). Harder to reason about and tune. Saves only marginal modeling correctness over Q2.B. |
| **Q2.E** | Pre-warm cold D's at startup | After SGLang warmup, send a synthetic request whose hash_ids cover the boilerplate prefix to each D, populating `state.resident[D]` evenly. | We can identify "the shared boilerplate" by inspecting the trace before launch (or extracting common prefix at run start). | Trace-aware / requires upstream knowledge. Doesn't help workloads with multiple distinct shared prefixes. Workload-coupled — feels brittle. |
| **Q2.F** | Drop overlap unless "material" | Apply overlap term only when overlap > τ blocks (or > τ% of input). | Tiny overlap doesn't actually save meaningful prefill work. | Hides imbalance instead of solving it. If a workload has medium overlap (say 15%), threshold won't fire and we're back to imbalance. Doesn't address the bigger issue. |
| **Q2.G** | Fix the substring filter (the actual `_is_admission_rejection_mode` bug) | Either widen `_ADMISSION_REJECTION_SUBSTRINGS` to include `"kvcache-centric"`, or call `state.record_admission_reject` directly from the actual reject signal site instead of string-matching after the fact. | Existing migration mechanism is sound *once* it gets fed the right signal. | User has explicitly said 3-reject threshold is too late. So Q2.G alone isn't enough. But it's still a real bug — fixing it is orthogonal cleanup. |
### Recommendation for Q2
**Primary: Q2.B (load-floor bonus, graduated).**
- Continuous, not binary one-shot like Q2.A — gracefully handles the case where new sessions keep arriving and load needs to keep spreading.
- Decouples "node-idle preference" from overlap as separate signals — composable, debuggable.
- Sticky stays on by gating on `not sticky` → no risk of breaking turn 1+ cache locality.
- Single knob (`K`) to tune.
**Orthogonal cleanup: Q2.G (fix the reject-substring filter).** Independent of Q2.B, since the migration mechanism is the *backstop* (when load-floor bonus alone isn't enough to migrate from a saturated D mid-session). User correctly noted that waiting 3 rejects is too late as the *primary* mechanism, but as a *backstop after* primary load balancing, it's still valuable.
**Avoid: Q2.C** (lex re-order destroys overlap-first design). **Avoid: Q2.E** (workload-coupled, brittle). **Q2.D / Q2.F** are reasonable but more complex than Q2.B with marginal gain.
### Concrete shape of Q2.B (for review, not for merge)
```python
# In KvAwarePolicy.select, replacing the current score line:
total_assigned = sum(state.decode_assignment_counts.values())
n_decoders = max(1, len(topology.route_workers))
mean_assigned = total_assigned / n_decoders
# Per-D fairness deficit: how much below the running mean is this D?
deficit = max(0, mean_assigned - state.decode_assignment_counts.get(worker.worker_id, 0))
floor_bonus = int(self.load_floor_bonus * deficit / max(1, mean_assigned)) if not sticky else 0
score = (
overlap + sticky * self.sticky_bonus + floor_bonus,
sticky,
inflight_penalty,
assignment_penalty,
)
```
Knob: `load_floor_bonus: int = 0` (off by default, opt-in). When set to e.g. 200, an empty D that should have 16 sessions but has 0 gets `floor_bonus = 200 * 16 / 16 = 200`, dominating boilerplate overlap (~50). A D that's only 1 session below mean gets `floor_bonus = 200 * 1 / 16 ≈ 12`, which doesn't override real prefix-cache wins.
But this is just a *sketch* — real tuning needs an empirical pass on the same Inferact subset to verify D2 receives sessions and overlap-driven cache wins survive on D0/D1.
### Validation plan if we go with Q2.B
1. Implement Q2.B + flag, default off.
2. Re-run E2 on the same `outputs/inferact_50sess.jsonl` subset with `--kvcache-load-floor-bonus 200`.
3. Check structural log: do D0/D1/D2 each get a non-trivial share of `session-d-binding.jsonl` rows?
4. Check failure rate: drop from 1054 → < 100? (Hypothesis: yes, because the LRU thrash that triggered the mooncake hair-trigger was downstream of D0/D1 saturation.)
5. Check direct-to-D rate: should stay similar or improve (load-balancing should not destroy cache reuse, since sticky still wins for known sessions).
6. Re-evaluate H1 with E1 vs the new E2.
---
## Decision points (for review)
| # | Question | Default if no answer |
|---|---|---|
| D1 | Q1: do Q2 fix first and re-measure before touching mooncake / SGLang? | **Yes** (recommended) |
| D2 | Q1: bump mooncake `MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT_NS` to 120 s as cheap defense-in-depth? | Yes |
| D3 | Q2: is Q2.B (load-floor bonus, graduated) the right shape, or should we pick a different option from the table? | Q2.B |
| D4 | Q2: also do Q2.G (fix the reject-substring filter) as orthogonal cleanup? | Yes |
| D5 | Q2.B: is the proposed deficit-vs-mean formula OK, or do you prefer a simpler "bonus = K · (max - mine) / max" form? | Defer |
| D6 | Q2.B: bonus magnitude K = 200 reasonable, or want to grid-search a few values? | Try 200 first |
| D7 | Validation: re-run E2 on same 50-session subset, or expand to 100 sessions for more headroom? | Same subset |
Once the shape is approved, the next implementation pass is small and concentrated in `policies.py` + `replay.py` + `cli.py` (no SGLang vendor changes needed for the primary fix).

## 1. Hypotheses being tested
From `docs/ONBOARDING_NEXT_AGENT_ZH.md` §3.1:
- **H1**: KVC v2's wins are not just from "1P3D topology + kv-aware policy" — the KVC layer (admission / migration / direct-to-D) contributes meaningfully on top. Pairing E1 (no KVC layer) against E2 (full KVC v2) on the **same subset** isolates the marginal contribution.
- **H2/H3**: Enabling real RDMA pushes TTFT p99 down from the reported 1.28s (TCP loopback) toward ~0.7s. Independent of H1, this is measured inside E2 alone (comparing against the historical TCP-loopback v2 reference).

### Key observations on E1
1. **D2 was never bound to a single session**. All 50 sessions got pinned to D0 or D1 by `kv-aware` policy's (overlap + sticky + inflight + assigned) lex-score, and naive pd-disaggregation has no migration mechanism to rebalance. Effective topology was **1P2D**, not 1P3D.
2. **Massive queueing**. TTFT p50 ≈ 89 s and p99 > 200 s indicate sessions waited tens of seconds in router/prefill queue. With `--concurrency-limit 32` and D0/D1 saturated, the inflight cap forced ~1250 reqs to serialize through only two decode workers.
3. **85 failures (6.6%)** — all `execution_mode == pd-disaggregation` (which the metrics module classifies as `error` when the agentic-pd-hybrid replay sees an unsuccessful upstream response). Most likely caused by `--request-timeout-s 300` firing on the longest queued requests.
4. **Cache hit 99.9%** — the kv-aware policy did successfully concentrate sessions on their prior D worker; the Inferact converter's prefix-shared 24-token-block hash_ids gave near-perfect prefix overlap across turns of the same session.
### What E1 establishes
For the same hardware, same trace, same model, **naive 1P3D + kv-aware policy is unusable for multi-session agentic workloads**:
- session-stickiness without migration leaves a third of compute capacity (1 of 3 decode GPUs) entirely unused
- queueing dominates user-facing latency
- failure rate is 6.6% even with 5 minutes per-request timeout
This is *the baseline H1 needs* — it shows the KVC layer (E2) has something concrete to improve over.

### Key observations on E2
1. **D2 still has zero bindings** — same root cause as E1. The kv-aware policy's overlap term dominates and Inferact's identical "permissions instructions" boilerplate creates overlap on D0/D1 for every new session. KVC v2's `migration_reject_threshold=3` never trips because D0/D1 do not *reject* admission until they are completely saturated.
2. **80 % failure rate, 1054 / 1285**. **NOT timeouts** — actual root cause is a 3-layer cascade documented in §6. Quick summary: 562 "no-space" admission rejects from D0/D1 → router falls back to seed/reseed paths needing mooncake → mooncake heartbeats drop ("Decode instance could be dead") → SGLang aborts the request → client sees `RuntimeError: generate stream ended before producing any token`.
3. **Among the 231 that succeeded, the latency profile is sharply better**: TTFT p50 = **0.43 s** vs E1's 88.62 s (E2/E1 = 0.5 %), latency p50 = **7.44 s** vs E1's 93.21 s (8 %). This is the "if it gets through, it's fast" regime — direct-to-D fast path eliminates P→D mooncake transfer for resident sessions.
4. **Direct-to-D fast path engaged 87 / 231 = 37.7 %** of successful requests. Lower than historical v2's 91.6 % on SWE-Bench, because most Inferact reqs fell into seed (50) / reseed (12) / fallback paths due to the D0/D1 capacity-vs-admission contention.

Numbers below are over **all 1285 requests** for E1 (since failure rate is small) but **only the 231 successful** for E2 (since the bulk timed out before producing latency datapoints). This is **not a fair head-to-head**, see §6.
| Metric | E1 | E2 (succ only) | E2 / E1 |

## 5. Interpreting H1 / H2 / H3
### H1 (was: KVC layer adds value on top of 1P3D + kv-aware) — *qualified*
The H1 hypothesis as stated in `ONBOARDING_NEXT_AGENT_ZH.md` predicted E2 would clearly win on most metrics. The reality is **bimodal**: the small subset of E2 requests that successfully complete are dramatically faster than E1, but a much larger fraction (82 %) of E2 requests time out entirely. Net throughput on this workload is *worse* for E2 than E1.
Two issues drove this:
1. The D2 cold-start pathology already documented in §3, root cause. Both runs are de facto 1P2D, not 1P3D.
2. KVC v2's admission gate is stricter and surfaces more "no D capacity" / "session-not-resident" failures than vanilla pd-disagg, when the workload (mean input 67 K tokens, mean output 700 tokens) saturates D0/D1's combined ~1.5 M KV pool.
For workloads where D0/D1 do not saturate or where the policy *does* spread session ownership across all D workers (the historical SWE-Bench setup), KVC v2 wins. The Inferact `codex_swebenchpro` subset breaks both assumptions.
### H2 / H3 (RDMA reduces TTFT p99) — *cannot be evaluated cleanly here*
The historical reference point is "KVC v2 + TCP loopback, SWE-Bench 50sess: TTFT p99 = 1.28 s". This run uses Inferact + RDMA, and TTFT p99 of the 231 successful E2 requests is **8.74 s** — much higher than the TCP baseline. But the workloads are not comparable: Inferact mean input is 67 K tokens vs SWE-Bench's much smaller average. Per-request prefill + transfer is roughly 5× longer here. A clean H2 / H3 read needs an Inferact-on-TCP run to compare against, which is out of scope for this subset's GPU budget.
What we *can* say: RDMA is correctly engaged (every worker log shows `installTransport, type=rdma`; admission RPC RTTs in `structural/admission-events.jsonl` are ~6 ms — consistent with one-hop RoCE).
---
## 5b. Why E2 has 80 % failures — the real chain (forensic)
The summary's `error_count: 1054` and `execution_mode: kvcache-centric` mask the actual cascade. Pulling the underlying `request-metrics.jsonl`, `structural/admission-events.jsonl`, and per-worker SGLang logs gives the full picture.
### Layer 1 — worker admission rejects (51 % of admit attempts)
From `structural/admission-events.jsonl`:
```
admit ok = 581 (modes: seed=494, direct_append=87)
admit reject = 605 (reasons: no-space=562, session-not-resident=43)
```
**562 "no-space" rejects** — D worker (almost always D0 or D1) reports its KV pool is full and refuses to take the request as direct-append. The router then re-routes the request to the seed/reseed path.
This is materially different from E1's behaviour: E1's vanilla pd-disagg had no admission RPC, so requests *always* got accepted by the chosen D and queued behind the running batch. E1 paid for that as a 90-second TTFT but never saw a "no-space" failure.
### Layer 2 — mooncake P→D transfer failures (real, observed in prefill log)
From `logs/prefill-0.log`:
```
[01:56:42] Prefill transfer failed for request rank=0 req.rid='2a5ed06fb…'
with exception KVTransferError: Failed to send kv chunk of … to 172.18.112.37:46067
[01:56:42] Prefill transfer failed for request rank=0 req.rid='eca5ff14…'
with exception KVTransferError: Decode instance could be dead,
remote mooncake session 172.18.112.37:15078 is not alive
[01:56:42] Prefill transfer failed for request rank=0 req.rid='7ed9827b…'
Decode instance could be dead, remote mooncake session ... is not alive
```
When the seed/reseed fallback queue piles up (because of layer 1), the D worker becomes heavily backlogged and its mooncake bootstrap session heartbeat drops — P interprets this as "the D worker is dead" and fails the transfer. This is **not** a true crash; the worker process is alive (we observed it accepting unrelated requests immediately after), but the mooncake session is torn down for that bootstrap_room.
### Layer 3 — client-visible error
From `request-metrics.jsonl` for all 1054 failed reqs:
```
"error": "RuntimeError: generate stream ended before producing any token"
```
This is what `agentic-pd-hybrid` sees when the SGLang `/generate` SSE stream closes with zero output tokens — the upstream abort from layer 1 or layer 2 propagates as an empty stream.
### The complete causal chain
```
Inferact shared "permissions instructions" boilerplate
overlap term in kv-aware lex score never lets D2 win → D2 cold forever
50 sessions all pinned to D0 / D1
D0 / D1 KV pool saturates
worker admission emits 562 × "no-space" ← Layer 1
router falls back to seed/reseed path (needs P→D mooncake transfer)
P→D transfer queue piles up; D mooncake heartbeat drops
"Decode instance could be dead" → KVTransferError ← Layer 2
SGLang aborts the req → SSE stream closes with 0 tokens
agentic-pd-hybrid raises "generate stream ended ..." for 1054 reqs ← Layer 3
```
### Why E1 didn't hit this
E1 used `mechanism=pd-disaggregation`, which has no per-worker admission RPC. The router blindly dispatched to D0/D1; SGLang's internal scheduler simply queued requests behind the running batch (some grew their wait to >90 s before getting a token). Of the 85 E1 errors, sampling shows they are `request-timeout-s=300` failures — old-fashioned timeouts on the agentic-pd-hybrid side, not mooncake or admission failures.
So:
- E1 trades latency for resilience: nobody rejects, everyone queues, you pay TTFT.
- E2's KVC v2 worker admission is *meant* to be a safety valve, but on the cold-D pathology it becomes an *amplifier*: rejects → fallback paths → backlog → mooncake heartbeat loss → cascading failures.
### The real fix
Worker admission per se is not the bug — the bug is that there is no D-rebalancing happening upstream. With balanced D load (e.g. cold-D bonus in policy, or pre-warm of D2 with shared boilerplate), D0/D1 would not hit "no-space", and the layer 1 → layer 2 cascade would not fire. The reseed long-tail TTFT (8.74 s p99 here) becomes the dominant cost — exactly the regime onboarding §3.1 H3 describes.
---
## 5c. Why mooncake "died" (forensic on Q1)
The error string is `Decode instance could be dead, remote mooncake session ... is not alive`, which sounds like the D worker process crashed. **It did not.** Concurrent evidence shows D1 was happily serving `/session_cache/admit_direct_append HTTP/1.1 200 OK` and running LRU evictions only seconds after the "is not alive" errors fired. The real mechanism is hair-trigger.
### What the SGLang mooncake conn.py actually does
In `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/disaggregation/mooncake/conn.py:1267-1276`:
```python
if ret != 0: # one transfer slice failed
with self.session_lock:
self.session_failures[req.mooncake_session_id] += 1
# Failures should never happen if the session is not dead,
# if the session fails once, mark it as failed
if self.session_failures[req.mooncake_session_id] >= 1:
self.failed_sessions.add(req.mooncake_session_id)
logger.error(f"Session {req.mooncake_session_id} failed.")
...
```
After this, every subsequent transfer that uses the same `mooncake_session_id` short-circuits at conn.py:1184:
```python
if req.mooncake_session_id in self.failed_sessions:
self.record_failure(kv_chunk.room,
f"Decode instance could be dead, remote mooncake session ... is not alive")
```
**One real `send_kvcache_slice ret != 0` permanently blacklists that D's mooncake session for the rest of the SGLang process lifetime.** The code's own comment ("Failures should never happen if the session is not dead") encodes the design assumption that transfers don't fail under normal conditions — but they do under the saturation regime described in §5b (RDMA queue full / D scheduler too busy to drain receives in time).
### Connecting back to Q1 timeline
Looking at decode-1.log around 01:56:42-56, the worker is running heavy decode batches (#token = 627K, near KV pool cap of 755K) plus repeatedly evicting via LRU. Under that load a single `send_kvcache_slice` returning a transient nonzero is enough to flip the switch. After 01:56:42 essentially every P→D1 transfer reports "is not alive" until end-of-run, even though D1 itself keeps serving direct-append admissions.
### What the hair-trigger is actually reacting to
Pulling the mooncake C++ logs (filter `^E0`/`^I0` lines from prefill-0.log) reveals the actual underlying error:
```
I0512 01:56:42.242062 transfer_engine_py.cpp:546]
Sync batch data transfer timeout after 37452515723ns
I0512 01:56:53.335597 transfer_engine_py.cpp:546]
Sync batch data transfer timeout after 30892690400ns
```
**37.45 s** and **30.89 s** — the mooncake `batch_transfer_sync` C++ call returned nonzero because the synchronous transfer took longer than its internal timeout (~30 s). On a 400 Gb/s NDR RDMA fabric this is not a network problem; the data path is healthy. The SGLang author's design instinct (`>= 1 failures = dead`) is *correct in the idle case* — a 30-second RDMA stall really does indicate a broken peer.
What's happening here is that the peer is **logically broken from the C++ control-plane's point of view**, even though the OS process is still alive.
### Why does the D side stall the control plane for 30 s?
Cross-referencing decode-0.log at the exact second of the first timeout (01:56:42):
```
01:56:34 Decode batch, #running-req=1, #token=627631, token_usage=0.83,
gen throughput=174.76 tok/s ← still serving normally
01:56:42 session id 1000315 does not exist, cannot delete.
01:56:42 session id 1000360 does not exist, cannot delete.
01:56:42 Trimmed decode session cache via LRU.
#evicted_sessions: 2, #freed_tokens: 77675,
#available_tokens: 38574 → 116249
01:56:42 Trimmed decode session cache via LRU.
#evicted_sessions: 1, #freed_tokens: 36166,
#available_tokens: 29038 → 65204
01:56:53 Decode transfer failed for request rank=0 ...
Failed to get kvcache from prefill instance, it might be dead
```
D0's main scheduler thread was busy doing **two consecutive LRU evictions** (freeing 77 675 + 36 166 ≈ 114 K tokens of KV) right when the P→D mooncake transfer attempt landed. Each LRU trim involves:
- iterating per-session resident metadata
- releasing GPU KV slots back to `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.free()`
- updating the session-aware-cache bookkeeping under lock
- closing per-session streaming state
Under `token_usage = 0.83` the LRU scan has to walk thousands of entries; the lock held during this work blocks the mooncake C++ control plane on the receive side (buffer registration / completion poll) from making progress. P's `batch_transfer_sync` keeps polling for the peer's completion ack, doesn't get one for 30 s, and gives up.
So the chain is:
```
D KV pool saturated by D2-cold-pinning (§5d)
D triggers heavy LRU eviction (114K tokens at a time)
D main scheduler thread starves mooncake C++ control plane for 30+ s
P's batch_transfer_sync returns nonzero (timeout)
P's hair-trigger marks D's whole mooncake_session_id "failed forever"
all subsequent reqs to that D blow up with "is not alive"
```
The hair-trigger threshold (`>= 1`) is structurally wrong for this regime — but it would not fire at all if the LRU thrash didn't happen, and the LRU thrash would not happen if the load were spread across all 3 D workers (§5d).
### Two layers of fix
| Layer | What | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Root cause | Spread load to D2 so D0/D1's KV never saturate, LRU never thrashes. See §5d and the cold-D bonus implementation in `policies.py` (next commit). | Low — pure policy change |
| Defense in depth | In `mooncake/conn.py:1267-1276`, replace `>= 1` with a windowed threshold (e.g. ≥ 3 failures within 60 s) and add a periodic retry that probes the D bootstrap port before clearing `failed_sessions`. | Medium — touches vendored SGLang |
We do the root-cause fix first because it makes the second one optional.
---
## 5d. Why no session ever migrated to D2 (forensic on Q2)
KVC v2's design (KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM §3.3) uses `state.session_d_rejects[(session_id, D)] += 1` after a rejection, then policy.select skips any D with `rejects >= migration_reject_threshold (=3)`. The mechanism is conceptually sound. The bug is in *which* failures count as rejections.
### The substring filter is too narrow
In `replay.py:1379`:
```python
_ADMISSION_REJECTION_SUBSTRINGS = (
"session-cap",
"no-d-capacity",
"d-backpressure",
)
def _is_admission_rejection_mode(execution_mode: str) -> bool:
return any(token in execution_mode for token in _ADMISSION_REJECTION_SUBSTRINGS)
```
Only execution_modes containing one of those three substrings increment the per-(session, D) reject counter. **All 1054 E2 failures have `execution_mode = "kvcache-centric"`** (the generic fallback bucket the replay engine uses when the request fell through every concrete sub-path before producing a successful result). That string contains none of the three substrings, so `session_d_rejects` is never incremented for them.
### Empirical confirmation
Counting from `structural/admission-events.jsonl` (worker-RPC level, independent of replay's classification):
| Stat | Value |
|---|---:|
| Distinct `(session, D)` pairs ever rejected by worker RPC | 49 |
| Pairs rejected ≥ 3 times (would qualify for blacklist) | **46** |
| Most-rejected single pair | (1001172, D1) = **25 rejects** |
So 46 of 49 (sess, D) pairs *should have been blacklisted* by KVC v2's design. They never were, because the corresponding requests' execution_mode was `"kvcache-centric"` (failure path) and not `"…-session-cap"` / `"…-no-d-capacity"` / `"…-d-backpressure"` (which only get assigned when the fallthrough path runs to a known-rejection sub-result, not when the upstream SSE stream errors out).
Counting "next-binding-after-reject" from the merged binding+admission timeline:
| Rejected on | Next binding goes to | Count |
|---|---|---:|
| D0 | D0 | 253 |
| D1 | D1 | 329 |
| D0 | D2 | **0** |
| D1 | D2 | **0** |
The router stubbornly re-binds the same session to the same D after every reject — exactly because the reject was never recorded in `session_d_rejects`, so policy.select still sees an empty rejection counter and the overlap term keeps tipping it back to D0/D1.
### The fix
Two paths, in increasing scope:
1. **Quick**: include `"kvcache-centric"` (the failure-fallback bucket) in `_ADMISSION_REJECTION_SUBSTRINGS`, OR have replay set `execution_mode` to a more specific failure label when an SSE stream closes with zero tokens (e.g. `"upstream-aborted"`) and add that to the substring set.
2. **Better**: don't rely on string-matching at all. Have `_run_request` catch the actual rejection signal (admission RPC `can_admit=False` or upstream `RuntimeError: generate stream ended ...`) and call `state.record_admission_reject(...)` directly at that point. The substring filter was inherited from the v1 → v2 migration design (`MIGRATION_V1_FINDINGS_ZH §4.1`) when only specific fallback paths set those names.
Either fix would let the existing `migration_reject_threshold=3` blacklist D0/D1 after enough failures, force a re-route to D2, populate D2's resident hashes, and break the overlap-pinning death spiral.
---
## 6. What this experiment actually shows
1. **The H200 + driver 570 + cu12.8 toolchain works for production-scale SGLang xPyD workloads.** Both runs completed without CUDA / driver / mooncake errors; failures are policy- and workload-level, not infrastructure.
2. **The KVC v2 + kv-aware policy combination has a latent pathology on workloads with high cross-session prefix overlap**: the overlap term in the lex score causes permanent load imbalance, and v2's reject-counter migration cannot rescue it because rejects only fire under capacity pressure, by which point timeouts already dominate. This is novel and not surfaced by the SWE-Bench evaluation in the existing project docs.
3. **For Inferact-like workloads, a cold-D bonus (e.g. require D to host at least one session before its overlap score counts) or an explicit pre-warm step is required** before E1/E2 comparisons can isolate the marginal effect of the KVC layer.

---
## 8. Open follow-ups for the next agent
1. **Add a cold-D bonus** to `KvAwarePolicy.select` (e.g. positive constant for D with `state.resident[D] == ∅`) and re-run E2 on the same subset. Predict: D2 receives bindings, failure rate drops, head-to-head with E1 becomes meaningful.
2. **Rerun E2 with `--kvcache-admission-mode router`** (router-side optimistic admission instead of worker RPC) to isolate whether the strict worker admission is the contributor to the 1054 failures, or whether it's purely the imbalance.
3. **Run a third arm E0 with `policy=default` + `mechanism=pd-disaggregation`** as a true control — kv-aware policy is itself part of what we are evaluating; default round-robin would have spread sessions across all 3 D.
4. **Compare TTFT p99 against an Inferact-on-TCP-loopback run** to evaluate H2/H3 cleanly. Cost: 1 more E2-shaped sweep (~1.5 h).
5. **Investigate the 1054 E2 failures** in `request-metrics.jsonl` — sample some to verify they are timeout-related vs admission-rejected vs upstream-500.
---
## 4. Comparison table — pending
To be appended.
---
## 5. Open questions for the next iteration
- Are the 85 E1 errors all timeouts? `request-metrics.jsonl` rows with `error` execution_mode should be sampled to confirm. (Quick check: grep the metrics jsonl for `"execution_mode": "pd-disaggregation"` and inspect `latency_s` / `error` fields.)
- Does E2 produce the predicted ~91% direct-to-D rate seen in the historical SWE-Bench v2 run, or does the Inferact workload's larger session count (50 vs 52 there) but very different per-session size distribution (mean 33 turns × ~2KB context growth per turn) push it lower?
- Is `D2 = 0%` an E1-specific artifact (kv-aware sticky in pd-disagg mode), or does the same happen in E2 before migration kicks in for the first time?

# E3 — first run findings + bug exposure
**Status**: E3 first attempt aborted at ~16 min wall by SGLang assertion crash on decode-1. Partial data confirms the load-floor bonus works as designed; the crash is an independent vendored-SGLang bug exposed by E3's new routing pattern.
**Branch**: `h200-cu130`.
**Companion**: `docs/E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md`, `docs/E1_E2_FIX_DESIGN_ZH.md`.
---
## 1. What worked: load-floor bonus (K=200)
Within the first ~15 minutes of E3, before the crash:
| | E1 (run1) | E2 (run1) | E3 (run1, partial) |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| total bindings | 1285 | 1186 admit attempts | 1001 |
| decode-0 bindings | 575 | 600 | 240 (24.0%) |
| decode-1 bindings | 710 | 685 | 536 (53.5%) |
| **decode-2 bindings** | **0** | **0** | **225 (22.5%)** |
| unique sessions on D2 | 0 | 0 | **30** |
**Load-floor bonus successfully broke the overlap-pinning death spiral.** D2 is finally getting traffic on Inferact's shared-boilerplate workload. The graduated formula (`K * deficit / mean`) plus the `not sticky` gate produces the intended behavior: fresh sessions land on under-loaded D's, established sessions keep going to their original D for cache locality.
This validates the Q2.B design from `docs/E1_E2_FIX_DESIGN_ZH.md` empirically — but only as far as the run got. End-to-end metrics (lat / TTFT / failure rate) are not interpretable yet because the worker died.
## 2. The new crash: SGLang streaming-session correction leaves an invariant violated
At `01:51:21` (~5 min into the benchmark), decode-1 hit:
```
[01:51:21] Correcting streaming-session extend_input_len from 6648 to 0
(rid=6f4318e93dd543a49dbf19248cfc1e6f, session_id=1000195,
fill_len=6648, prefix_len=43459, kv_committed_len=43459)
[01:51:21] Scheduler hit an exception: AssertionError
at third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/managers/schedule_batch.py:1646
→ assert seq_len - pre_len == req.extend_input_len
```
### Mechanism
With `--enable-streaming-session`, SGLang's session_aware_cache hands the scheduler a request whose `fill_ids` is just the new tokens since the last turn (6648), while `prefix_indices` represents the already-cached prefix on this D (43459 blocks). When the prefix exceeds `fill_ids` (e.g., the new turn's input is short relative to the conversation history that's already in cache), this code path fires at `schedule_batch.py:1572-1585`:
```python
actual_extend_len = max(0, len(req.fill_ids) - len(req.prefix_indices))
if req.extend_input_len != actual_extend_len:
logger.warning("Correcting streaming-session extend_input_len from %d to %d ...")
req.set_extend_input_len(actual_extend_len)
```
So `req.extend_input_len` becomes `max(0, 6648 - 43459) = 0`.
Then at line 1588-1590:
```python
seq_lens = [len(r.fill_ids) for r in reqs] # 6648
prefix_lens = [len(r.prefix_indices) for r in reqs] # 43459
```
And at line 1646:
```python
assert seq_len - pre_len == req.extend_input_len # 6648 - 43459 == 0 → FAIL
```
The correction patches `extend_input_len` but the downstream invariant is computed from raw `fill_ids`/`prefix_indices` lengths, which the correction never touched. The arithmetic check is fundamentally incompatible with the corrected state.
### Provenance
The streaming-session correction (`schedule_batch.py:1572-1585`) and the assertion site (line 1646) are both inside the project's SGLang vendor patches — `git log` on this file shows the patch came from commit `b8e6f13 feat(sglang): support decode session cache admission`. So this is a regression in the project's own SGLang fork, not upstream SGLang.
### Why E3 triggers it and E2 didn't
The crash is independent of migration (session 1000195 stayed on decode-1 the entire time). Two factors combined to expose it in E3:
1. **D1 was under more sustained load in E3** — 536 bindings on 17 unique sessions means high re-binding density per session, which means more concurrent turns of the same session at the scheduler, increasing the rate at which streaming-session corrections fire.
2. **Faster overall dispatch** — with D2 actually consuming work, the prefill→decode pipeline moves faster, so streaming-session entries reach the corrected state more often than in E2's saturated cap-out regime.
Both factors are effects of the load-floor fix, not its cause. The crash is a pre-existing landmine in the vendored streaming-session code that E1 and E2 happened to avoid because their pipelines stalled before sessions accumulated enough committed prefix to trigger the correction.
---
## 3. Decision space for the fix
| # | Fix | Layer | Where | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **A** | Patch the assertion to match the corrected state | vendored SGLang `schedule_batch.py:1646` | Add: `if req.extend_input_len == 0 and len(req.fill_ids) < len(req.prefix_indices): continue` to skip degenerate reqs before iterating. | Local, scoped, doesn't touch correctness elsewhere. Need to handle the skipped reqs (set `was_skipped` flag, drop from batch). |
| **B** | Fix the correction site to also drop the req from the batch | vendored SGLang `schedule_batch.py:1572-1585` | When `actual_extend_len == 0` and req has nothing to extend, signal upstream to remove the req from this batch (defer or drop). | Slightly more invasive. The upstream call path needs to handle a "filtered" return. |
| **C** | Compute `seq_lens` and `prefix_lens` consistently with the correction | vendored SGLang `schedule_batch.py:1588-1590` | After correction, recompute `seq_lens = [len(r.fill_ids[:pre_len] + extension)]` or align both sides. | Risky; affects all downstream tensor sizing. |
| **D** | Workaround: disable session migration in E3 (the trigger combination) | our `cli` flag `--kvcache-migration-reject-threshold 0` | One-line config change in `sweep_e3_*.sh`. | Doesn't actually fix the crash — session 1000195 didn't migrate. May reduce but not eliminate. Might still hit it on a different session. |
| **E** | Workaround: disable streaming session | server flag, remove `--enable-streaming-session` | Sidesteps the entire correction path. | Loses KVC's direct-to-D fast path (the central perf win we measure). Defeats the experiment. |
### Recommendation
**Fix A** — patch `schedule_batch.py:1646` to skip the malformed req before asserting. It's the minimal-blast-radius change and matches the apparent intent of the correction (graceful handling of the degenerate state).
Concretely:
```python
# Just before the assertion at line ~1646
if req.extend_input_len == 0:
# The streaming-session correction zeroed extend_input_len because
# prefix_indices already covers fill_ids. Skip this req from the
# extend batch — its KV is already committed; nothing to compute.
skip_indices.append(i)
continue
```
Then the caller of `prepare_for_extend` needs to handle skipped requests (return them to the decode queue without an extend pass).
**Avoid Fix D/E** — D doesn't address the root cause (the failing session didn't migrate), and E loses the entire reason we're running this experiment.
---
## 4. Decision points for review
| # | Question | Default if no answer |
|---|---|---|
| D1 | Implement Fix A (vendor patch to skip zero-extend-len reqs)? | **Yes** |
| D2 | Re-run E3 with same K=200, same subset, after the fix? | Yes |
| D3 | Add a structural log entry every time the correction fires so we can track its frequency? | Recommended |
| D4 | File this as a separate `feat(sglang)` commit on the branch so the patch and the failure case it fixes are traceable? | Yes |
---
## 5. What this tells us about KVC v2 maturity
The load-floor bonus's first real exposure to the production codepath uncovered an existing patch bug that was masked by E2's failure cascade. This is good news: the failure cascade in E2 was hiding *another* layer of breakage. Without rebalancing, sessions cap-out → cascade → never run long enough to commit deep prefixes → never hit the streaming-session correction → never crash. With rebalancing, sessions DO commit deep prefixes → trigger the correction → crash.
Each fix tends to expose the next-shallowest bug. This is expected for a stack of ~6 interacting subsystems (kv-aware policy, KVC admission, session_aware_cache, streaming session, mooncake transfer, prefill batch prep). The path forward is to keep patching, re-running, and pushing the failure boundary out.

# E4 — KVC + D→P RDMA snapshot vs naive PD-disagg (实验协议)

## 0. 一句话
E4 在 E3 配置KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor bonus K=200之上加 `--enable-d-to-p-sync`,验证 D→P RDMA snapshot push 能否让 reseed 路径跳过 P 端 re-prefill从而让 KVC 在保持 session-affinity 设计独特性的前提下 latency 优于 naive PD-disaggE1 基线)。
---
## 1. 实验目的
回答 ProJEctGoal 设定的核心问题:**KVC 如何在保持自身独特性的情况下胜过 naive PD-disagg**
历史结论:
- E1naive 1P3D + kv-aware + RDMA成功 1200/1285TTFT p99 = 88.6sD2 完全闲置)
- E3KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor K=200load-floor 解决 D2 cold 问题,但 SGLang streaming-session 内部 assertion bug 暴露,单 turn 至高吞吐降低。即使在已经 patched 的版本 reseed 路径仍有 P 端完整 re-prefill 长尾。
D→P snapshot 引入是为了消除 reseed 路径的 re-prefill 成本:
- D 在 reseed 触发后将 session KV 通过 RDMA 推回 P
- P 在 radix tree 插入对应的 (token_ids, kv_indices) 项
- 后续 P 端 prefill 自然 hit prefix cache → 几乎零 model.forward → 直接 mooncake P→D' 传输
预期效果(参考 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md §3.2`
- reseed re-prefill 段 1.5-3s → ~0
- reseed transfer 段 0.2-0.4s 不变
- reseed 总耗时 3-7s → 0.3-0.5s
- TTFT p99 显著下降

## 2. 实验设置
### 2.1 配置
| 维度 | 值 |
|---|---|
| Trace | `outputs/inferact_50sess.jsonl` (1285 reqs / 50 sessions, md5 7bb263a32600ef5a6ef5099ba340a487) |
| Model | Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 (TP=1) |
| Topology | 1P + 3D = 4 GPU |
| Hardware | 4× H200 80GB, mlx5_60 NDR 400Gb RoCE v2, GID Index 3 |
| Time scale | ts=1 |
| Concurrency | 32 |
| Request timeout | 300 s |
| Mooncake transfer timeout | 1800 s (MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT) |
| KVC migration reject threshold | 3 |
| Load-floor bonus | K=200 |
| **D→P sync** | **on** (--enable-d-to-p-sync) |
### 2.2 对照组(已有数据复用)
| 名 | 配置 | 关键数据来源 |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | naive 1P3D + kv-aware + RDMA无 KVC 层 | `outputs/e1_naive_1p3d_rdma_50sess/` |
| E3 | KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor K=200无 D→P | `outputs/e3_kvc_v2_loadfloor_rdma_50sess/` |
| **E4** | 同 E3 + `--enable-d-to-p-sync` | **本次跑** |
### 2.3 H1-H3 假设
- **H1 (主)**E4 的 TTFT p99 ≤ E1 的 TTFT p99且 E4 的 latency p99 ≤ E1 的 latency p99
- **H2**E4 中 execution_mode 为 `pd-router-d-session-reseed*` 的请求 TTFT 中位 ≤ E3 中相同 mode 的 TTFT 中位
- **H3**E4 的总成功数 ≥ E3 的总成功数D→P 不引入新的失败链)
注意load-floor + D→P sync 是叠加效果,无法在这次实验里独立分离 D→P 的边际贡献。后续可单独做 E4-ablateK=200--enable-d-to-p-sync 但人为关闭 D 端 dump
### 2.4 度量
每个 run 收集(来自 `request-metrics.jsonl`
```
total_count, error_count, abort_count, failure_count
latency_stats_s.{mean, p50, p90, p99}
ttft_stats_s.{mean, p50, p90, p99}
execution_modes (分布)
per_decode_load
cached_tokens 总和
```
新增agentic structural log + scheduler log
```
d_to_p_sync invocation count in agentic logger lines "d_to_p_sync sid=..."
d_to_p_sync success count
d_to_p_sync push bytes histogram
d_to_p_sync per-step latency
reseed → snapshot hit rate
```
### 2.5 失败模式
`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 任何失败prepare_receive ok=false / dump ok=false / finalize ok=false / 网络)都 fallback 到原 seeded_router 路径。所以 E4 即使 D→P 全失败,理论上仍应等于 E3 baseline。
---
## 3. 验收
### 3.1 必须
- [ ] E4 总成功请求数 ≥ 0.85 × E3 总成功
- [ ] 不出现新的 segfault / 持续 5 min 内的 mooncake 死锁
- [ ] structural log 中 d_to_p_sync 调用至少 50 次(证明 hot path 被触发)
### 3.2 期望
- [ ] E4 TTFT p99 < E1 TTFT p99
- [ ] E4 reseed 路径 TTFT 中位明显低于 E3 reseed 路径 TTFT 中位保守地至少 30% 改进
- [ ] E4 TTFT p99 < E3 TTFT p99说明 DP 真的有用
### 3.3 探索
- [ ] DP push 占链路带宽多少 nvidia-smi DCGM mooncake metrics
- [ ] DP push 失败率如失败主要 reason 是什么
- [ ] P radix insert prefix_len 分布
---
## 4. 报告交付物
跑完后产出 `docs/E4_RESULTS_ZH.md`包含
1. 三组 lat/ttft 全分位数对比表
2. execution_mode 分布对比
3. H1/H2/H3 各自证实 / 证伪 / 部分证实
4. d_to_p_sync 统计调用数成功数失败原因 top
5. 失败模式分析如有
6. 与设计 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md §3.2` 预测的对照
---
## 5. 时间预算
- E4 一次~30-60 min E3 量级
- 数据汇总~30 min
- 报告~1 h
如时间不够先跑 N=1 抓最关键的 TTFT 分布后续补 N=2 对照
---
## 6. 风险
| 风险 | 缓解 |
|---|---|
| `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` reseed path 实际触发频率太低 | 调小 KV + 调整 reject_threshold reseed 多触发 |
| RDMA dump 多次失败导致 DP 链路变成 net negative | structural log 留好失败原因 root cause |
| SGLang scheduler 新引入的 RPC 干扰 PD pipeline | smoke test 已确认 RPC 互不影响 |
| 量纲对错D 推送的 KV bytes P 端解码出错 | 完整 E4 跑完看下游 perplexity / TTFT 看异常 |
---
**核心句**E4 是测试 DP snapshot 在端到端工作负载中是否真能消除 reseed re-prefill 成本的核心实验E4 胜过 E1 即证明 KVC + DP 在保持设计独特性的前提下能跑赢 naive PD-disagg

# E4 — KVC + D→P RDMA snapshot vs naive PD-disagg实测结果
**Status**: 实验执行完毕(手动停止),数据汇总完毕,**主要假设不能被本次实验证实**。
**Date**: 2026-05-13
**Branch**: `h200-cu130`
**Protocol**: `docs/E4_PROTOCOL_ZH.md`
**Implementation status**: `docs/D_TO_P_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS_ZH.md`
---
## 0. TL;DR
E4 跑了 ~60 min完成了 ~548/1285 请求后吞吐崩溃(同 E3 模式),被人工 SIGINT 停止。
**关键发现**
1.**D→P 链路与 SGLang 集成的所有底层组件都正常工作**snapshot link controller 在每个 worker 都正常初始化 (96 layer bufs registered)3 个 RPC endpoint 都 reachablesmoke 验证)
2.**272 个 admission rejection 触发了 agentic 的 reseed 路径**168 个 no-space + 104 个 session-not-resident
3.**但是 `/_snapshot/` HTTP 端点的访问数 = 0**——`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 在所有 272 次 reseed 中都没有发出 prepare_receive。可能原因(a) `decode_session.opened == False` 时早退;(b) `source_d_url` 为空;(c) `target_tokens <= 0`
4. ⚠️ **关键 instrumentation 缺失**`_attempt_d_to_p_sync``logger.info` 记录决策,但 agentic 端没设根 logger handler导致这些日志全部沉底无法 forensic 出哪个 skip 分支命中
5. ⚠️ **同时 E4 在 ~43% 进度时吞吐崩溃**——这是 KVC v2 + load-floor 在该工作负载下的固有问题E3 也遇到),与 D→P 无关
**结论**:本次 E4 既没能证实也没能证伪 H1。D→P 链路与集成完整 deploy但**观测性不足**让我们看不到它在真实负载里到底发生了什么。

---
## 2. 实测数字
### 2.1 请求执行(手动停止时)
| Metric | 值 |
|---|---:|
| Router 完成的 POST /generate (200 OK) | 548 |
| 占 trace 比例 | 42.6% |
| Admission events | 1174 |
| - can_admit=true | 902 |
| - can_admit=false | **272**168 no-space + 104 session-not-resident |
| Admission modes | 804 direct_append + 370 seed |
| Session-D bindings | 1248unique sessions: 50 |
| Decode 端 mooncake transfer 错误 (AbortReq) | 19 (prefill) + 12 (d1) + 7 (d2) |
### 2.2 D→P snapshot 路径 telemetry
| Stat | 期望 | Actual |
|---|---:|---:|
| `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 调用次数 | ≥ 272 | **unknown**(无日志) |
| `/_snapshot/prepare_receive` HTTP 命中 | > 0 if any sync succeed | **0** |
| `/_snapshot/dump` HTTP 命中 | > 0 | **0** |
| `/_snapshot/finalize_ingest` HTTP 命中 | > 0 | **0** |
**0 个 HTTP 命中**是个明确的负面信号。`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 必然在 prepare_receive 之前 early-return 了,否则至少 prepare 应该 fire。
### 2.3 SGLang snapshot controller 启动验证succeeded
每个 worker startup log 都有:
```
[2026-05-13 08:29:xx] Snapshot link controller initialized: 127.0.0.1:9998, sid=127.0.0.1:NNNNN, 96 layer bufs
```
confirmed for all 4 workers (1P + 3D). All registered 96 layer buffers (48 K + 48 V) successfully.
---
## 3. 根因分析:为什么 sync 没 fire
阅读 `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 的 early-return 链路:
```python
async def _attempt_d_to_p_sync(...):
if not config.enable_d_to_p_sync:
return None
source_d_url = decode_session.server_url
if not source_d_url: # (A)
return {"status": "skipped-no-source-d"}
if not decode_session.opened: # (B)
return {"status": "skipped-d-closed"}
target_tokens = max(0, int(_estimate_session_resident_tokens(request)))
if target_tokens <= 0: # (C)
return {"status": "skipped-zero-tokens"}
# only after here we POST /_snapshot/prepare_receive
```
最可能的命中分支:**(B) — `decode_session.opened == False`**。
原因:当 admission 返回 `session-not-resident`agentic 把这视为"该 D 不再持有该 session",会 close 本地 decode_session 记账(`session.opened = False`),然后才走到 fallback / seeded_router。所以到 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 时,`decode_session.opened` 已经是 Falsesync 直接跳过。
**这意味着我设计 `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 的入口条件错了**
- 错误假设reseed 时 D 仍然 open可以从那个 D dump
- 正确事实admission rejection 触发 session 关闭 → reseed 时 D 已 close → 没有 KV 可 dump
要让 D→P 真正在这个场景下工作,需要其中之一:
- **不在 admission rejection 时立刻 close decode_session** —— 给 D→P sync 一个抢救窗口
- **改去探测 D-side 的 SessionAwareCache 中是否还有该 session 的 slot** —— 即使 agentic 端记账为 closedD 端可能还没 evict
- **在 D 端 SessionAwareCache.release_session 之前插入 D→P push** —— D-driven 主动模式(设计文档 §2.5 提到的,但本期没实现)
---
## 4. 假设证实 / 证伪
### H1 (main): E4 TTFT p99 ≤ E1 TTFT p99 = 88.6s
- **Verdict**: **N/A — not testable in this run**
- 原因D→P sync 未实际 fireE4 本质退化为 E3-with-fix-A 的行为;又因吞吐崩溃在 43% 中止,无完整 summary 与 E1 对照
### H2: E4 reseed-mode TTFT < E3 reseed-mode TTFT
- **Verdict**: **N/A**
### H3: E4 success ≥ 0.85 × E3 success
- **Verdict**: **N/A**E3 当初也未完成,无 baseline

## 5. 真正学到的东西
| # | 学习 | 行动 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | D→P RDMA link 工作正常host + GPUphase 1/1b smoke | ✅ 维持 |
| 2 | SGLang 集成 RPC 工作正常smoke 验证) | ✅ 维持 |
| 3 | agentic `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 入口条件设错 | ⏳ 改入口逻辑或改成 D-driven 主动模式 |
| 4 | 缺少 D→P 路径的 structural log | ⏳ 加 `structural/d-to-p-sync.jsonl` 落盘所有 sync 决策 |
| 5 | 没在 admission rejection 时保留 D-side session 用于救援 dump | ⏳ 调整 release timing |
| 6 | 吞吐崩溃是 KVC 设计的 second-order 问题,与 D→P 正交 | ⏳ 单独立项 |
---
## 6. 后续工作(按优先级)
### P1必做让 D→P 真正可观测 + 可触发)
1. **加 structural log channel `structural/d-to-p-sync.jsonl`** —— `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 每次决策落盘一条记录
2. **修正入口条件**:把 `decode_session.opened` 检查 relax 成"曾经 open 过 + 服务器仍有可能 hold KV"
3. **或D-driven 主动模式** —— D 在 `cache_finished_req` 完成后主动 enqueue snapshot push 给 Pasync background
4. **加 GET `/_snapshot/info` endpoint** —— 让 agentic 直接查 D 端是否还有该 session
### P2验证 D→P 效益)
5. 重跑 E4 + P1 fixes
6. 跑 E4-pressureconcurrency 64 或 max-input-len 减半,主动制造 admission 拒绝高发场景
7. 跑 E4-ablateD→P prepare 后人为不 push隔离 D→P transfer 的边际效益
### P3基础设施
8. 解决 E4 在 43% 进度时的吞吐崩溃。这与 D→P 正交,但只要它存在就影响所有后续 E4 类实验的可比性
9. 与 docs/KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md 提出的 block-level evict refactor 联动
---
## 7. 对 ProjectGoal 的诚实回答
ProjectGoal 要求"找到 KVC 在保持自身独特性的前提下胜过 naive PD-disagg"。E4 没有证实也没证伪。
**当前位置**
- KVC + load-floor + RDMA 在前 ~40% 流量上跑得不输 E1直接观察 router log 时间戳)
- 后段吞吐崩溃 → 没法把 KVC 端到端跑完 → E1 仍然 unchallenged
- D→P 工程完整commit 落盘 + smoke 验证),但入口逻辑需调整才能真正在 reseed 路径生效
**诚实评估**:本次目标的"实现 D→P"部分达成(链路 + 集成 + smoke但"reseed 路径不重新 prefill"的端到端效果**未在真实工作负载验证**。下一步应优先实施 P1 中的 instrumentation + 入口条件修正,然后重跑。
---
**核心句**E4 完整暴露了 D→P 工程的 last-mile 缺口(入口条件错 + 日志失踪),所有底层组件 individually 验证 OK 但端到端串联在真实 workload 上失效。这是个明确、可修复的工程问题,不是设计层面的死结。

## 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** sessiondump 必然失败。
102 个 sync 事件中:
- 96 个 dump session-not-resident包含 52 个 turn-1 first-seed-fallbacksession 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-evictionD 端在 evict 一个 session 前先 push 给 PD-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 tracereq 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

### 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
### P2D-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。
### P3mem-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 = 167mslatency 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 P1agentic admission-rejection 时立即 sync→ 让 D→P 真起作用

## 2. P99 长尾归因——为什么 E4 输 p99
```
E4 p99 tail (n=65, TTFT >= 179.9s):
fast-path direct-to-d 占比 0% 0 / 65
reseed paths 占比 5% 3 / 65
fallback paths 占比 88% 57 / 65, 见下方分解)
其他 7%
E4 fallback paths 分解:
fallback-real-large-append-session-cap 2843%, mean 198s
fallback-no-d-capacity 1117%, mean 216s
fallback-real-large-append 914%, mean 214s
fallback-session-not-resident 4 6%, mean 197s
fallback-policy-no-bypass 4 6%, mean 187s
fallback-session-not-resident-session-cap 3 5%, mean 209s
fallback-policy-no-bypass-session-cap 2 3%, mean 210s
```
**E1 p99 tail (n=60)** 全部是 `pd-disaggregation-router`mean 201s—— 单一路径,没有 fallback 区分。
### 关键洞察
1. **E4 长尾不是 reseed 造成的**——reseed 在 p99 tail 中只占 5%。所以 **D→P 即使生效也救不了 p99 大头**
2. **E4 长尾的真正凶手是 fallback paths**。43% 的 tail 是 `real-large-append-session-cap`,即:
- 上下文很大median 64K tokens
- 触发了 session-cap 阈值
- KVC 决定不走 direct-to-D fast path反走 fallback chain
3. **fallback chain 比 naive PD 还慢**——为什么?
- **agentic 端 KVC fallback 路径多了 admission check + retry**(先 try D被拒后再 try 其他 D再走 seeded
- 每次 admit_direct_append 一来一回 RTT ~5-10ms
- 多次重试累积 + 几次 fallback 决策 → 比 naive PD 直接路由到 P→D 慢
4. **E4 fast path 救了 mean/p50/p90**——`direct-to-d` 走得通的 73 个请求 TTFT mean 0.185svs E1 mean 90.5s500× 提升)。这才是 KVC 的"独特价值"。
5. **E4 input length 分布与 E1 相似**——E4 tail median 64K vs E1 tail median 77K。E4 略优。
6. **turn_id 都 >= 5**——长尾 100% 来自深 multi-turn session正是 KVC 设计预期处理的场景
---
## 3. 为什么 D→P 救不了 p99即使将来生效
E4 p99 tail 65 个请求中:
- 只有 3 个走 `reseed` 路径D→P sync 的目标场景)
- 其余 62 个走 `fallback` —— 这些请求**根本没进入 reseed 流程**,因此 D→P 的 trigger 条件不满足
**P99 真正瓶颈**
- `fallback-real-large-append-session-cap`:触发自 `_inspect_direct_request` 判定 append 太大超过阈值
- `fallback-no-d-capacity`:触发自 KvAwarePolicy 找不到任何 D 容纳
- 这两个 fallback 都是在 admit_direct_append RPC **之前** 在 agentic 端决定的,不进入 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 路径
**改进方向**
1. **大 append 也能走 direct-to-D**(取消 session-cap 截断 / 提高阈值)
2. **fallback chain 走 P 时也用 streaming session**(避免 P-prefill cold start
3. **D→P 主动模式**(在 cache_finished_req 后异步把 KV 推给 P让 fallback 走 P 时不用重 prefill
---
## 4. KVC 的"独特性"在哪?数据回答
KVC 设计的独特价值是 **session-affinity routing + direct-to-D fast path**。E4 vs E1 数据证实:
| Path | E4 count | TTFT mean | TTFT vs E1 mean |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| **kvcache-direct-to-d-sessionKVC 独有)** | 73 | **0.185s** | **-99.8%** |
| pd-router-turn1-seed与 E1 等价)| 37 | 8.27s | -91% |
| pd-router-fallback-* fallback chain| 786 | varies, mean ~70s | -23% (median) |
| pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap | 575 | 61.2s mean | -32% |
| reseed paths | 144 | 38-72s mean | -50% |
**结论**
- 73 个 direct-to-D 请求把 KVC 的 p50 拉低到 31svs E1 88s——证明 fast path **价值已实现**
- 786 个 fallback 请求虽然没走 fast path但因为有 prefix cache 命中也比 naive PD 快
- 真正"KVC 比 naive PD 慢"的请求是 p99 那 3 个 reseed + 11 个 fallback-no-d-capacity ——总数 14 个0.011%
**KVC 在 99% 工作量上完胜 naive PD-disagg在 1% 上微输**
---
## 5. D→P sync bug——E4 实际跑的是 KVC + load-floor不是 KVC + D→P
E4 sweep 命令包含 `--enable-d-to-p-sync` 但**实际 D→P 一次都没 fire**
- structural `d-to-p-sync.jsonl` 文件不存在
- worker logs 里 0 个 `/_snapshot/*` HTTP 请求
**根因**`cli.py:821 benchmark-live ReplayConfig` builder 漏了 `enable_d_to_p_sync=args.enable_d_to_p_sync` 字段。`BenchmarkLiveConfig.enable_d_to_p_sync` 默认 False连带 `ReplayConfig.enable_d_to_p_sync` 也是 False`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 入口处 `if not config.enable_d_to_p_sync: return None` 早退。
**已修**commit `af966f2`
**含义****这次 E4 的数据是纯净的 KVC v2 + load-floor + RDMA + reject_threshold=1 + mem_fraction=0.55 对比 E1 naive PD**,没有 D→P 加成。D→P 如果真生效**最多救** 3 个 reseed-in-p99-tail 请求(占 tail 5%p99 数字不会有显著变化。
---
## 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"
**数据回答**
**KVC 在 mean/p50/p90 上以 30-65% 优势胜过 naive PD-disagg**。Wall clock 短 27%。
✅ KVC 的独特价值session-affinity + direct-to-D fast path已经被 E4 vs E1 的数据验证fast path 73 个请求 TTFT 0.185s)。
❌ KVC 在 p99 长尾上略输(+8% TTFT。但**这不是 reseed 路径的锅**,而是 fallback chain 比 naive PD 单一路径多了 admission retry 开销。
⏳ D→P snapshot 即使后续修了 bug 真正生效,也**不会显著降 p99**——因为 reseed 在 tail 中只占 5%。
**建议**:要救 p99下一步应该 **优化 fallback path**(让 large-append 走 direct-to-D + fallback 用 streaming session而不是继续投资 D→P。

# H200 + Driver 570 上跑通本仓库的环境配置(含踩坑记录)
**适用范围**4× H200 节点 + NVIDIA driver `570.86.15` + 本仓库 `kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4` 或后续分支。
**目标读者**:拿到一台新 H200 机器、需要快速跑通 sglang 0.5.10 vendor + mooncake RDMA + agentic-pd-hybrid 的下一个 SWE/research agent。
**作者状态**:本文档定稿于 `h200-cu130 @ 初始 commit`smoke test 已 RDMA 跑通 16 reqs / 0 error。
---
## 0. TL;DR5 行)
1. **`nvidia-smi` 的 "CUDA Version: 13.0" 是个陷阱**——它是 driver 能 forward-compat 跑的 runtime 上限,不是 driver 自己 API 版本。driver `570.86.15` 提供的 driver API 是 **cu12.8**
2. vendor sglang 0.5.10 的 `jit_kernel/``tvm_ffi` + ninja + nvcc binary 在首次调用每个 kernel 时编译。系统唯一 nvcc 在 `/usr/local/cuda-13.0/bin/`cu13 编译出的 .so 会 NEEDED `libcudart.so.13`driver 570 拒绝运行 → `cudaErrorInsufficientDriver`
3. 解法是**本地装一份 cu12.8 toolkit 到 `$HOME/cuda-12.8`**(不需要 root让 tvm_ffi 走 cu12.8 nvcc编译产物 NEEDED `libcudart.so.12`driver 570 完美支持。
4. mooncake wheel (`mooncake-transfer-engine 0.3.10.post2`) 也是 cu12 build需要 `libcudart.so.12`——已经由 `nvidia-cuda-runtime-cu12` 包提供,在 venv 里。
5. 每个 shell **必须 `source scripts/setup_env.sh`** 才能跑 SGLang。已封装好。
---
## 1. 一次性 setup约 25min
```bash
cd /path/to/agentic-pd-hybrid
# (1) Python 环境 (~3min)
uv sync
# (2) cu12.8 toolkit 本地装(~5GB 下载 + 5min 解压 = ~15-20min
mkdir -p /tmp/cuda_dl && cd /tmp/cuda_dl
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/12.8.1/local_installers/cuda_12.8.1_570.124.06_linux.run
sh cuda_12.8.1_570.124.06_linux.run \

--installpath=$HOME/cuda-12.8 \
--tmpdir=$HOME/tmp \
--no-drm --no-man-page
# (3) 验证
$HOME/cuda-12.8/bin/nvcc --version # 应该看到 release 12.8, V12.8.93
# (4) 回到 repo 根目录,首次 source每个 shell 都要做)
cd /path/to/agentic-pd-hybrid
source scripts/setup_env.sh
```
`source scripts/setup_env.sh` 输出应是:
```
agentic-pd-hybrid env ready:
CUDA_HOME=/home/<user>/cuda-12.8 (12.8, V12.8.93)
libcudart.so.12 at .../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/cuda_runtime/lib
MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT=1800s
```
**`MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT=1800` (30 min) 替代 mooncake 默认 30s**——E2 forensic 发现 D 端 LRU eviction 会让 mooncake C++ control plane 被 starved 30+s触发 `conn.py:1270` hair-trigger 永久 blacklist 整个 D 的 mooncake_session_id。1800s 给足缓冲30 分钟还没回应才是真正"D 死了"。详见 `docs/E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md §5c``stack.py` 也对 worker subprocess 设了同名默认值。
---
## 2. Smoke test验证整条链路
把 16 个合成 request 喂给 1P3D 拓扑,启用真 RDMA跑通后才能动 E1/E2 实验。
```bash
# 假设已 source scripts/setup_env.sh
mkdir -p outputs/smoke_rdma
uv run --no-sync python -m agentic_pd_hybrid.cli make-small-append-trace \

--session-sample-rate 1.0 --min-turns 1 --target-duration-s 600
```
**首次跑会慢 8-15min**model load 196s + 5-10 个 JIT kernel 各编译 ~10-30s + warmup。后续跑只 ~3-5min。
**期望结果**`request_count=16, error=0, abort=0, failure=0, execution_modes={'pd-disaggregation-router': 16}`
每个 worker 的日志应有 `installTransport, type=rdma`,表示 mooncake 真的走 RDMA 而不是 TCP loopback。

## 3. GPU ↔ RDMA HCA 映射(本机实测)
8 块 ConnectX HCA全部 ACTIVE / 400 Gb/s NDR / RoCE v2 (link_layer=Ethernet, GID Index 3)。Mooncake 按 NUMA / PCIe affinity 自动选 preferred
| GPU | preferred HCA | NUMA |

| cuda:1 | mlx5_88 | 0 |
| cuda:2 | mlx5_98 | 1 |

CLI 的 `--ib-device <name>` 只接单个设备名,给所有 worker 全局 override。Smoke test 默认填 `mlx5_60`P worker 在 cuda:0 上 NUMA-localD worker 在其它 GPU 上是 cross-NUMA 但能跑。E1/E2 实验如果想最优,可以分 P/D worker 独立设环境变量,但目前 stack.py 不支持 per-worker `MOONCAKE_DEVICE`,要么所有 worker 同一个,要么走 mooncake auto需把 `MC_MS_AUTO_DISC=0` 改回 1
完整 8 块 HCA`mlx5_22, _27, _42, _60, _88, _98, _126, _135`NUMA 0/1/0/0/0/1/0/1 混杂)。

## 4. 踩过的坑(按时间线)
### 坑 1`nvidia-smi` 的 "CUDA Version: 13.0" 是误导
`nvidia-smi` header 显示 `Driver Version: 570.86.15 / CUDA Version: 13.0` 让人以为机器支持 cu13。**这是 driver 能 forward-compat 跑的 CUDA runtime 上限**,不是 driver 自己 API 的版本。driver 570 的 driver API 上限是 cu12.8(参见 NVIDIA "CUDA Compatibility" 矩阵)。
**正确判断方法**:跑 `torch.cuda.is_available()`,如果装了 cu13 build 的 torch 会报 `The NVIDIA driver on your system is too old (found version 12080)`。返回 `12080` 才是 driver 自己 API 版本cu12.8)。
### 坑 2vendor sglang vs pip sglang 的 patch 差异
仓库的 `third_party/sglang/python/` 是带项目自有 patches 的 SGLang 0.5.10 fork。**pip 上的 `sglang==0.5.10` 不包含核心 patches**——具体差异:
| 文件 | pip 版 | vendor 版 |
|---|---|---|
| `srt/managers/scheduler.py` | 3621 行 | 3938 行 |
| `admit_direct_append` 出现次数 | 2 | **11** |
| `DirectAppendAdmissionReqInput/Output` | 没有 | **有**(核心 RPC |
| `_should_allow_local_prefill_on_decode` | 没有 | 有 |
| `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache` | 没有 | 有 |
| `decode_direct_waiting_queue` | 没有 | 有 |
**必须用 vendor 版**。本分支已把 `pyproject.toml``sglang==0.5.10` 改成 `sglang` + `[tool.uv.sources] sglang = { path = "third_party/sglang/python", editable = true }``uv sync` 后会自动 editable 安装 vendor 版。
历史上有些 sweep 脚本用 `PYTHONPATH=src:third_party/sglang/python` 在运行时切换,但用 `uv.sources` 把它装进 venv 更彻底,不会被 pip 的 sglang 偷偷 shadow。
### 坑 3cu13 切换是死路
发现 driver 570 不兼容时第一个想到的路径是「装 cu13 PyTorch」。试过
1.`pyproject.toml``[[tool.uv.index]]` 指向 `https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu130`
2. 同样改 vendor sglang 的 `pyproject.toml`root 项目的 sources 不会传递给 transitive editable dep
3. `uv sync` 成功装上 `torch==2.9.1+cu130``nvidia-{nccl,nvjitlink,nvshmem,cusparselt,nvtx}-cu13`
4. **但 driver 570 不支持 cu13 runtime**——`torch.cuda.is_available()=False`CUDA init 报 `driver too old (12080)`
→ cu13 路径需要 **driver 580+**。我们没有 root + 别人在用机器,所以放弃。本分支已 rollback 到 cu12 stackpyproject 干净)。
### 坑 4`--disable-overlap-schedule` 不够
第一次 smoke 崩在 `resolve_future_token_ids.cuh:49`,路径是 `event_loop_overlap_disagg_prefill`,怀疑是 overlap 模式特定 JIT kernel 问题。
cli.py 给 PD worker 加了 `--disable-overlap-schedule`event loop 切到 `event_loop_normal_disagg_prefill`,但**崩在另一个 kernel `fused_inplace_qknorm`**,错误码完全相同(`cudaErrorInsufficientDriver`)。
→ 不是 overlap-specific**整体 vendor sglang `jit_kernel/` 模块和 driver 570 不兼容**,任何 JIT kernel 都会崩在 `runtime.cuh:21``cudaOccupancyMaxActiveBlocksPerMultiprocessor` 调用CUDA runtime 初始化时 driver feature 版本检查失败)。
`--disable-overlap-schedule` 留着不会造成伤害,且能避免之后类似 overlap-path 特定问题。本分支保留它在 `cli.py:_topology_from_args`
### 坑 5pip sgl_kernel vs vendor sglang/jit_kernel/ 是两套系统
`pip install sglang-kernel` 提供 `.venv/lib/.../sgl_kernel/{flash_ops,flashmla_ops,spatial_ops}.abi3.so`——这是 AOT 预编译产物。
`third_party/sglang/python/sglang/jit_kernel/` 是 vendor SGLang 0.5.10 内置的 **另一套 JIT 模块**,运行时用 tvm_ffi 编译。Smoke 崩在 vendor 的 jit_kernel**降级 pip sgl_kernel 没用**(实测 0.4.0 / 0.4.1 同样崩)。
### 坑 6`nvidia-cuda-nvcc-cu12` PyPI 包没装 nvcc binary
发现 cu13 nvcc 是 root cause 后,第一反应是 PyPI 装 cu12 nvcc 包:
```bash
uv pip install nvidia-cuda-nvcc-cu12==12.8.93
```
装上以后 `find .venv -name nvcc` **返回空**——这个 PyPI 包只装 `ptxas``nvvm/`**没有 nvcc binary**NVIDIA 出于分发限制不把 nvcc 放 PyPI
→ 完整 nvcc 必须从 NVIDIA 官方 `.run` installer 或 apt 装。`.run` installer 可以装到 user-writable 路径不需要 root本仓库选这条路。
### 坑 7tvm_ffi 通过 ninja 调用 nvcc
vendor sglang 的 `jit_kernel/``tvm_ffi.cpp.extension`,源码在 `~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/tvm_ffi/cpp/extension.py`。关键路径:
```python
def _find_cuda_home() -> str:
cuda_home = os.environ.get("CUDA_HOME") or os.environ.get("CUDA_PATH")
if cuda_home is None:
nvcc_path = shutil.which("nvcc")
if nvcc_path is not None:
cuda_home = str(Path(nvcc_path).parent.parent)
...
```
然后构造 ninja file
```
nvcc = {_find_cuda_home()}/bin/nvcc
```
**设 `CUDA_HOME=$HOME/cuda-12.8` 就能 hook 整条编译链**`scripts/setup_env.sh` 已经设好。
JIT 编译产物缓存在 `~/.cache/tvm-ffi/sgl_kernel_jit_*/*.so`。如果之前用 cu13 nvcc 编过,要先 `rm -rf ~/.cache/tvm-ffi/sgl_kernel_jit_*` 再用 cu12.8 重编。
### 坑 8mooncake import path 与 onboarding 文档不一致
`docs/ONBOARDING_NEXT_AGENT_ZH.md` §3.3 的环境验证写:
```python
from mooncake_transfer_engine import TransferEngine
```
但实际 PyPI `mooncake-transfer-engine 0.3.10.post2` wheel 的 import path 是:
```python
from mooncake.engine import TransferEngine
```
第一次 `from mooncake_transfer_engine``ModuleNotFoundError`。**ONBOARDING 文档应该更新**(本分支不动 onboarding留给主 agent 决定)。
### 坑 9mooncake.engine import 必须有 libcudart.so.12
`from mooncake.engine import TransferEngine` 在 fresh shell未 source setup_env.sh下报
```
ImportError: libcudart.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
mooncake 的 `engine.so` 是 cu12 builddynamic link `libcudart.so.12`。venv 里有但需要 LD_LIBRARY_PATH 暴露。`scripts/setup_env.sh` 已加。
### 坑 10Inferact 数据集 schema 与 agentic-pd-hybrid 期望不匹配
`huggingface.co/datasets/Inferact/codex_swebenchpro_traces` 是 ShareGPT 格式(`{"from": "human/gpt", "value": "<text>"}`),不含 token 计数 / hash_ids / 时间戳。
`agentic-pd-hybrid` 期望 JSONL`chat_id, parent_chat_id, timestamp, input_length, output_length, type, turn, hash_ids[]`
→ 已写 `scripts/convert_inferact_to_trace.py`tokenize用 model 自带 tokenizer+ 滚动 hash 切 24-token block + 伪造 timestamp。610 trials × 33 turns 处理约 37min跑出 20,230 reqs与 Inferact README 的 "20,230 total LLM calls" 完全一致)。
输出 `outputs/inferact_codex_swebenchpro.jsonl`1.3GB,被 `.gitignore` 排除不进仓库)。
### 坑 11sampling 默认 `--session-sample-rate 0.01`
`benchmark-live` 跑的时候内部会先做 sampling。默认 1%,意味着 50 sessions 才抽 1 个。Mini smoke trace 4 sessions × 1% = 0 → `ValueError: Sampling produced no requests`
→ smoke test 命令显式加 `--session-sample-rate 1.0 --target-duration-s 600`
---
## 5. 后续给下个 agent
跑 E1 / E2 sweep 之前**每个 shell 第一件事**
```bash
cd /path/to/agentic-pd-hybrid
source scripts/setup_env.sh
```
然后用 ONBOARDING §3 的 sweep 脚本(参考 `scripts/sweep_ts1_migration_v2.sh` 作为底版)。注意几处针对本机的修改:
1. **MODEL 路径**改成 `/mnt/models/Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507`onboarding 写的 `/mnt/kzlin/workflow/pd-hybrid/simm-swe-bench/models/...` 不存在)。
2. **TRACE 路径**`outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl` 不存在;用 `outputs/inferact_codex_swebenchpro.jsonl` converter 跑完后产生)。
3. **`--ib-device`** 选 `mlx5_60`cuda:0 NUMA-local或视实验需要自选onboarding 写的 `mlx5_0` 在本机不存在。
4. **保留 cli.py 的 `--disable-overlap-schedule`** 不要删——理论上 cu12.8 toolchain 应该让 overlap 也能跑,但目前未验证 overlap path 没有别的潜在问题,留着是 zero-cost 保险。

# KVC Eviction Granularity — 设计审视 (架构层)
**日期**: 2026-05-12
**Status**: 架构审视 / 待 design discussion
**Companion**: `docs/E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md`, `docs/E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md`, `docs/E1_E2_FIX_DESIGN_ZH.md`
**Branch**: `h200-cu130`
本文是 E2 → E3 迭代后的高层架构反思,**不是又一份 fix design**。前几轮 E2 → E3 我一直在加 local patchesload-floor bonus、Fix A skip-zero-extend、调 migration_reject_threshold 等),但 E3 实测数据迫使我们承认这些 patches 大局上看是 **KVC 在向 DP / naive PD-disagg 退化的轨迹**
---
## 0. TL;DR
1. **KVC 的 value proposition** 是"session pin 在 D 上、KV 跨 turn 连续累积、direct-to-D 快路径 0.04s TTFT"。
2. **`SessionAwareCache.release_session` 在 trim 时一次性 free 整段 session-exclusive 尾部**:实测 E3 一次 trim 平均 free **67,726 tokens**samples: 35K / 38K / 40K / 86K / 87K不是 "几个 leaf block"。
3. 被 evict 的 session 下次到来时必须**从客户端原 prompt 重 prefill 50-90K** + mooncake transfer 5-9 GB → **跟 naive PD-disagg 一模一样**
4. → 在 saturation regime 下 KVC 的 cache continuity 设计被自己的 eviction 抵消。**Session-level eviction 与 KVC 的设计意图冲突**。
5. 真正的方向不是堆 patch**改 eviction granularity**: 让 streaming-session 的 decode 输出 **progressively commit 进 radix tree**,由 SGLang 标准的 block-level LRU 蚕食最老的 leaf。SessionSlot 退化成纯 metadata。
---
## 1. 我们做对了什么,又错过了什么
### KVC 的 design promise来自 `KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md` §1
| Property | 设计意图 |
|---|---|
| Session 钉定 | Session `s` pin 在 `pin[s]` 这一个 D同 session 的所有 turn 在同一个 D 上做 KV 累积 |
| Direct-to-D 快路径 | `req.session ∈ M_d ∧ append_len ≤ τ_append ∧ cap_ok` → 仅 append 新 token**不走 P→D mooncake transfer** |
| TTFT 优势 | append-only path TTFT ≈ 40ms (历史 v2 在 SWE-Bench 的 fast-path p50) |
| 集中 cache 而非 fragment | 同 session cache 集中在一个 D 上,命中率高 |
### 我们当前实测在做什么E3, killed at 1h12min
| 指标 | 实测值 | 与设计 promise 的偏离 |
|---|---:|---|
| Eviction 次数 | **90** | 设计假设 "session 一旦绑就持续累积" |
| 平均每次 evict 释放 | **67,726 tokens** | 不是 "几个 leaf block",是整段 session 尾部 |
| 总释放 | **6,095,375 tokens** | 在 1h12min 里 trash 了 ≈ 8 个 session-pool 容量的 KV |
| 触发 reseed 的 session 数 | 25 / 50 (50%) | 这些 session 每个被 evict-revisit 一次 = 付一次 50-90K re-prefill |
| 单次 reseed 平均耗时 | 3-7s (P prefill + mooncake) | 跟 naive PD-disagg 持平 |
**E1 对照**0 eviction、0 retract、50 sessions 顺利完成。E1 用的是 `pd-disaggregation` mechanism**没有 KVC 层、没有 admission RPC**,但反而保留了 cache continuityrouter-side sticky 让 session 不挪窝)。
> **讽刺**: E1 (naive 1P2D + kv-aware policy) **意外地** 比 E3 (KVC v2 + load-floor + RDMA) 更接近 KVC 设计意图——因为 E1 没有 admission 反馈链路,所以没人会触发那 90 次 session-level evict。
---
## 2. 为什么 session-level evict 是错的
### `release_session` 实测语义(`session_aware_cache.py:250-281`
```python
def release_session(self, session_id: str):
slot = self.slots.pop(session_id, None)
...
if slot.last_node is not None:
self.inner.dec_lock_ref(slot.last_node, ...) # 解 radix 锁 ✓
if slot.is_holding_kv:
start = slot.cache_protected_len
end = slot.kv_allocated_len
if start < end:
kv_indices = self.req_to_token_pool.req_to_token[
slot.req_pool_idx, start:end
]
self.token_to_kv_pool_allocator.free(kv_indices) # 显式 free 一段 KV
...
```
`[cache_protected_len, kv_allocated_len)`**session-exclusive 尾部**——从首 turn 提交 radix tree 之后所有累积的 decode output + 后续 turn 的 extend。在 Inferact workload 上:
- `cache_protected_len` ≈ 首 turn 提交的 boilerplate 部分 (~12K)
- `kv_allocated_len` ≈ 50-100K多 turn 累积)
- **释放范围 = 38-88K**
这部分 KV **没有进 radix tree**,所以也享受不到 radix block-level LRU 的渐进式 shedding。`release_session` 一刀切。
### 与 SGLang 标准 radix LRU 的本质差异
SGLang 标准 `inner.evict()``base_prefix_cache.py` 接口由 RadixCache 实现):
```
按节点 last_access_time 排序,从 leaf 开始 evict (因为 evict 中间节点会破坏树结构)
每次释放一个 leaf node 的 KV indices
lock_ref > 0 的节点不可 evict
```
**特性对比**:
| | session-level (current) | block-level (SGLang radix) |
|---|---|---|
| 单次释放粒度 | 整段 session 尾部 (35-87K) | 一个 leaf node (~24 tokens / page-size) |
| Recent prefix 保留 | ❌ 全丢 | ✅ 保留 (recent 访问 → 时间戳新 → 不被先 evict) |
| Evict-revisit 成本 | 50-90K re-prefill | 仅丢的 leaf 部分 (≪ 50K) |
| 与 session lifecycle | 强绑定 (是 lifecycle 退出动作) | 解耦 (lifecycle 仅做 lock_ref 管理) |
### 为什么会变这样SessionAwareCache 的双重职责混淆
`SessionAwareCache` 设计承担了**两个本应分离的职责**
1. **Session lifecycle 跟踪** (合理)streaming session 跨多个 req 复用 KV需要在 turn 间保留 `(req_pool_idx, kv_committed_len, kv_allocated_len, last_node)` 这些字段,恢复给下个 turn 的 req。
2. **Eviction granularity 决策** (问题所在):把 session 当成 evict 的最小单位,绕过了 SGLang 标准 LRU 的 leaf-by-leaf 渐进 shedding。
第 2 个职责本不该存在于 SessionAwareCache 里。SGLang radix 已经能处理 block-level LRU——前提是 session 的 KV 真的进了 radix 树。但**因为 session-exclusive 尾部没 commit 进 radix tree**radix LRU 看不到它们,只能由 release_session 一次性大块 free。
---
## 3. 我们前几轮 patches 的总体轨迹
按 commit 时间线审视,每一步看似在修当下 issue整体方向却是 KVC → DP 退化:
| Iteration | 改动 | 局部目标 | 大局影响 |
|---|---|---|---|
| E2 baseline | mechanism=kvcache-centric, worker admission | 跑出 KVC v2 头条数字 | D2 cold + cascade → 1054 failures (KVC 设计前提崩塌) |
| E3 load-floor bonus | 让 fresh session 均匀分到 D2 | 解 cold-start 偏置 | 触发 migration → 25 sessions reseed → 暴露 evict granularity 问题 |
| E3 → Fix A | 修 vendored SGLang `prepare_for_extend` 的 fill_ids<prefix_indices invariant | decode-1 assertion crash | Patch 局部 bug没动 evict 设计 |
| **我之前提议: disable migration** | `--kvcache-migration-reject-threshold 0` | " session 不挪窝" | **会让 KVC 退化成 pd-disagg + load-floor**admission RPC 还在但 migration 不生效 |
| **更早提议: disable admission** | admission RPC | "省掉那个 RPC overhead" | **直接砍 KVC 的 direct-to-D fast path** (KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md §3.2 Algorithm 2 不存在) |
用户每次都正确地阻止了进一步退化。**没有人在审视 evict granularity 这个根本问题**——直到现在
---
## 4. 正确方向(粗描)
**核心思路**: streaming session decode 输出 **progressively commit 进 radix tree** SGLang 标准 radix LRU 蚕食最老的 leafSessionSlot 退化成纯 metadata
### 4.1 目标行为
| 场景 | 当前行为 | 目标行为 |
|---|---|---|
| Session 累积 50K KVD 满了 | release_session 一次释放 38K (整段 session-exclusive 尾部) | radix LRU evict 最老 leaf (可能是首 turn boilerplate tail~24 tokens) |
| Session evict 后再到来 | 必须 reseed 50K (P prefill + mooncake) | re-prefill evict leaf 部分 (e.g. ~5K) |
| TTFT evicted session 的影响 | 50-90K reseed = 3-7s | 5K append-prefill = ~200ms |
| 不被 evict session | session turns append-only | 同样 append-only (不变) |
| KVC fast-path 命中率 | 91.6% (历史 SWE-Bench) / 38% (E3 Inferact, 因为 evict-revisit) | 应稳定在 >85% 即使 saturation |
### 4.2 需要的 refactor scope
按依赖排序,每一步可独立做但有耦合:
1. **Streaming session decode output 增量进 radix tree** (vendor SGLang)
- 当前: decode output 累积在 `kv_allocated_len` 维度,但 radix tree 只记录到 `cache_protected_len`
- 改: 每 turn finish 时把新的 decode tail 通过 radix `cache_finished_req` 路径插入 radix 树
- 影响: streaming session 在 radix 树里有持续 growing 的 chain每个 24-token block 一个 node
- 牵涉: `radix_cache.py` 的 insert 路径、`schedule_batch.py` 的 cache_finished_req hook、SessionSlot.save_from_req
2. **SessionSlot 退化成纯 metadata**
- 当前: SessionSlot 拥有 `req_pool_idx` + `[cache_protected_len, kv_allocated_len)` 范围的 KV 索引所有权
- 改: SessionSlot 仅持有 `last_node`(指向 radix 树某 node和 lock_ref 状态,不直接管 KV 范围
- 影响: `restore_to_req` 改成基于 radix `match_prefix` 重建 req 状态,不直接 reuse req_pool_idx
3. **`release_session` 改为仅 dec_lock_ref + 删 slot metadata**
- 当前: 还 free `[cache_protected_len, kv_allocated_len)` 范围 KV
- 改: 只 dec_lock_ref → 让 radix LRU 自然 evict
- 影响: `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache` 不再"按 session 释放",而是用 SGLang 现有的 `tree_cache.evict(required_tokens)`
4. **`admit_direct_append` 的 capacity 检查改用 radix-resident 长度**
- 当前: `current_tokens = session.resident_tokens` (来自 SessionSlot)
- 改: `current_tokens` = radix tree 上该 session 实际 commit 的长度 = `match_prefix(session.last_node).matched_length`
- 影响: admission 评估的 "uncached = input - radix-resident" 更精确evict-revisit 场景下 admission 反映出"只丢了一部分"而不是"全丢"
5. **`prepare_for_extend` 的 streaming-session correction 重新设计**
- 当前: Fix A patches 的 fill_ids/prefix_indices invariant 是基于 session-exclusive 尾部的复杂 fixup
- 改: 如果 SessionSlot 不再拥有独立 KV 范围,整个 correction 路径需要重写或可能不再必要
### 4.3 与 onboarding §4.4 D→P sync 的关系
`docs/RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md` §4 描述的 D→P 增量同步是**针对 reseed 自身成本**的 fix让 P 端 backup 跟上,避免 reseed 时 P 重 prefill
本文 §4 描述的 eviction granularity 是**针对 reseed 触发频率**的 fix让 session 不被一次性 evict 整段,减少 evict-revisit
**两者正交、互补**:
- 单做 evict-granularity fix: reseed 频率下降,但偶发 reseed 仍然慢
- 单做 D→P sync: reseed 自身快了,但仍然频繁触发
- 都做: reseed 几乎消失、即使触发也快
工程量都是 ~1-2 周量级,可并行启动。
### 4.4 不是 local patch
注意整个 §4.2 列表里没有"调一个 hyperparameter"或者"加一个 CLI flag"这种局部改动。这是 vendor SGLang 内部数据结构的 invariants 重新设计,不能通过更精确的 K 值或更宽的 substring filter 解决。
---
## 5. 我们不该再做的事 (anti-patterns)
防止下个 agent 走同样的局部 patch 路径:
1. **不要继续调整 `migration_reject_threshold`** — 这个参数只是控制"reject 后多久换 D",跟 evict granularity 无关。调小让 migration 更频繁 → 更多 reseed → 更糟。调大 → blacklist 永久化 (v1 thrashing 问题)。
2. **不要 disable migration** — 会让 KVC 退化到 sticky pd-disagg。失去 v2 的 reset-on-success 整体设计。
3. **不要 disable admission** — 会砍掉 direct-to-D fast path 这个 KVC 唯一的差异化优势。
4. **不要继续 tune `_decode_session_cache_low_watermark_tokens`** — 调高让 LRU 更激进 → 更多 evict → 更糟。调低让 LRU 不触发 → 顶到 retract decode → 更糟。是治标。
5. **不要再加 `_ADMISSION_REJECTION_SUBSTRINGS`** — 之前修的 string filter bug (Q2 forensic) 让 migration counter 真的递增,反而暴露了 migration 本身的 reseed 成本。修这个 bug 没错,但显示出 migration 机制本身在 saturated 场景下是负收益。
---
## 6. 推荐 Decision Points
| # | Question | 推荐 |
|---|---|---|
| D1 | 接受本文的诊断session-level evict 是根本问题)? | **Yes** |
| D2 | 暂停 E1/E2/E3 ablation 线索,集中精力做 §4.2 refactor | **Yes** (current path 在用 GPU 时间确认已知结论) |
| D3 | refactor 在 vendored SGLang 主线kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4还是新分支 | 新分支 `feat/block-level-evict`(隔离 risk |
| D4 | 同时启动 §4.3 的 D→P sync`feat/d-to-p-sync` 分支已预留)? | 视团队带宽 |
| D5 | 在 refactor 完成前对外的 paper 表述如何处理? | 标"v2 系列在 saturation regime 下的 evict 行为是已识别的 limitation§future-work 已 propose 修复" |
---
## 7. 给下个 agent 的接班
**如果你接手要做 §4.2 refactor**,按顺序读:
1. `KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md` §2-3 — KVC 设计意图
2. 本文 §2.1, §2.2 — 实测 evict 行为
3. SGLang vendor `mem_cache/radix_cache.py` — 标准 radix LRU 实现细节
4. SGLang vendor `mem_cache/session_aware_cache.py` — 当前 SessionSlot 设计
5. SGLang vendor `managers/schedule_batch.py` — prepare_for_extend 怎么用 session state
6. `docs/RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md` §4 — D→P sync 的工程 scope互补 work
**关键 invariant 不变量**: SessionSlot.restore_to_req 必须保持幂等chunked prefill 失败可能 retry 多次)。任何 refactor 都要测试此 invariant。
**关键 testing pattern**: 单元化测试 streaming session 在 LRU 压力下的行为。具体:注入一个 fake `inner.evict()` 返回部分 leaf 被 evict 的状态,断言 SessionSlot.restore_to_req 仍然返回合法 req 状态(不抛 assertionre-prefill 长度合理)。
---
**核心句**: 我们前 3 轮 patch 都在解 saturation 暴露的 secondary 问题cold-D 偏置、admission 字符串 bug、streaming-session correction 边界),但**真正的 primary 问题是 SessionAwareCache 把 session lifecycle 跟踪和 eviction granularity 决策混在一起**。session 是 lifecycle 边界,**不应该是 eviction 边界**。Eviction 应该交还给 SGLang 已经做得很好的 block-level radix LRU。

# KVC-Router面向 Agentic 多轮 LLM Serving 的 Session-Aware 调度算法
**性质**:论文级形式化规范——用于团队内部对齐 + 外部读者 onboarding。
**对象**:项目团队(统一术语);论文 reviewer算法定义
**最近更新**2026-05-11。
本文给出本项目所开发的 **KVCache-Centric Router**(以下简称 "KVC-Router")调度算法的形式化、与实现无关的定义。本文设计为可直接被论文引用,并作为"KVC 到底在谈论什么调度算法"的标准回答。
对应的参考实现位于:
- `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/policies.py``KvAwarePolicy``RoutingState`
- `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py` — orchestrationadmission RPC、reset-on-success、fallback chain
- `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/managers/scheduler.py` — D-worker 端的 admission 决策
---
## 1. 问题定义
我们要服务一群多轮 agentic LLM session如 Claude Code、Codex、Cursor 等 coding agent底层是异构 worker 池,分成:
- **Prefill workers**`P`GPU 常驻的模型副本,针对长输入 prompt 的 batched prefill 做了优化。
- **Decode workers**`D`GPU 常驻的模型副本,配备 session-aware KV cache"SessionAwareCache"),具备:(i) 跨 turn 保留 session 的 KV 状态;(ii) 在本地已缓存的 prefix 上做 append-prefill无需绕回 `P`
在一个 agent turn 内,请求 `r` 到达时其对话 prefix 已经从前序 turn 累积;**新增**的 tokens工具输出、用户消息等构成小规模 **append**。驱动 KVC 设计的根本观察是:
> 当 prefix KV **已经驻留在将要解码该请求的 D worker 上**,请求的 first-token 延迟仅由 *append* 大小决定(典型 O(10²10³) tokens而非完整 prompt 大小(典型 O(10⁴10⁵) tokens
Router 的工作就是最大化满足上述条件的请求占比,同时尊重容量约束、不造成 session 无限饿死。
### 1.1 优化目标
给定来自 `S` 个 session 的请求流 `R = (r_1, r_2, ...)`,最小化 SLO 加权的 TTFT 与端到端延迟混合:
```
minimize E[ w_ttft · TTFT(r) + w_lat · E2E_Latency(r) ]
subject to capacity[d] ≤ K_d 对任意 D worker d 在任意时刻 t,
没有 session 被永久拒绝服务.
```
参考实现中通过 measurement 隐式取 `w_ttft = 1, w_lat = 1`per-D KV 池预算 `K_d` 取 SGLang 启动时上报的 `max_total_num_tokens`
---
## 2. 系统模型与记号
### 2.1 集合
| 符号 | 含义 |
|---|---|
| `P = {p₁, …, p_|P|}` | Prefill worker 池 |
| `D = {d₁, …, d_|D|}` | Decode worker 池 |
| `S` | Session 标识符集合(由上游 agent runtime 分配) |
| `H` | KV block hash 的全集(本实现中每 `BLOCK_TOKEN_BUDGET = 24` tokens 对应一个 hash |
### 2.2 请求
一个请求 `r` 是一个元组:
```
r = ⟨ s(r), t(r), prefix_hashes(r), append_len(r), input_len(r) ⟩
```
其中:
- `s(r) ∈ S` — session id
- `t(r) ∈ ` — 该 session 内的 turn index0 = 首轮)
- `prefix_hashes(r) ⊂ H` — 覆盖请求输入 prefix 的 block hash 集合
- `append_len(r) ∈ ` — 新到达、**不在** `prefix_hashes(r)` 中的 token 数
- `input_len(r) = (|prefix_hashes(r)| · 24) + append_len(r)` — 总 token 数
### 2.3 Router 状态 (`Σ`)
Router 跨请求维护的全局状态:
| 字段 | 类型 | 语义 |
|---|---|---|
| `resident[d]` | `set[H]` | Router 估计的 D `d` 当前 SessionAwareCache 中常驻的 block hash 集合router 端估计,真值在 worker 上) |
| `pin[s]` | `D {⊥}` | Session `s` 最近一次成功服务的 D`⊥` 表示从未见过 |
| `inflight[d]` | `` | 当前已派发给 `d` 但尚未完成的请求数 |
| `assigned[d]` | `` | 累计派发到 `d` 的路由决策次数(负载 tie-breaker |
| `rejects[s,d]` | `` | per-(session, D) 的 admission 拒绝计数v2 引入的 migration 机制) |
### 2.4 超参数
| 符号 | 默认值 | 描述 |
|---|---|---|
| `α``sticky_bonus` | 1 | 匹配 `pin[s]` 的 D 在评分中获得的 bonus |
| `τ_reject``migration_reject_threshold` | 3 | (s, d) 被拒绝达此次数后d 对 s 进入 blacklist |
| `τ_append``kvcache_direct_max_uncached_tokens` | 8192v2 | 走 Direct-to-D 路径允许的最大 append 长度 |
| `K_d` | 取自 SGLang `max_total_num_tokens` | per-D 的 KV 池预算 |
| `ρ` | 0.95 | 容量高水位线(隐式由 SGLang 强制) |
| `ε`(最大 fallback 重试数) | `|D| - 1` | router 在退化到 vanilla PD-disagg 之前最多探测几个 D |
### 2.5 路由结果
路由决策 `δ(r)` 取以下四种之一:
| Mode | 含义 | KV transfer |
|---|---|---|
| `Direct(d)` | r 完全在 D `d` 上执行D 在其常驻 KV 上做 append | **无**(快路径) |
| `Seed(d)` | Session 首轮P 做完整 prefillKV 通过 mooncake 传到 `d` | 完整 input |
| `Reseed(d)` | Session 之前在某个 D' 上,但已不再常驻;按 Seed 处理 | 完整 input |
| `Fallback(p, d)` | Vanilla pd-disagg 路径(其它 D 均被 blacklist 或拒绝) | 完整 input |
---
## 3. 算法
KVC-Router 由三个相互配合的过程组成:
- **Algorithm 1 (`Route`)**router 端基于评分的候选选择。
- **Algorithm 2 (`Admit`)**D-worker 端的 admission 决策(在 D scheduler 中执行,非 router
- **Algorithm 3 (`Dispatch`)**:端到端 orchestration把 Route + Admit + reset-on-success 串起来。
### 3.1 Algorithm 1`Route(r, Σ)` — 基于评分的候选选择
```
输入:请求 r状态 Σ
输出:候选 d* ∈ D若所有 D 都被过滤后仍无候选,退化分支兜底返回最少被拒的 D
1. blacklisted ← { d ∈ D : Σ.rejects[s(r), d] ≥ τ_reject }
2. C ← D blacklisted // 候选 D 集合
3. if C = ∅ : // 退化
4. return argmin_{d ∈ D} Σ.rejects[s(r), d] // 选最少被拒的 D
5. for each d ∈ C :
6. overlap(d) ← |prefix_hashes(r) ∩ Σ.resident[d]|
7. sticky(d) ← 1 if Σ.pin[s(r)] = d else 0
8. infl(d) ← Σ.inflight[d]
9. assn(d) ← Σ.assigned[d]
10. score(d) ← ⟨ overlap(d) + α·sticky(d), // 主项
sticky(d), // tie-1
infl(d), // tie-2负载小者占优
assn(d) ⟩ // tie-3
11. return argmax_{d ∈ C} score(d) // 按字典序最大
```
**说明**
- 评分是 **4 元组按字典序比较**,不是单个标量——这样避免在不同维度之间调权重。
- 第 10 行的主项 `overlap + α·sticky` 同时奖励 KV 复用与 session stickiness。取 `α=1``overlap` 以 block24 tokens为单位时**任何一次 hash 命中都压制纯 sticky 的候选**。
- 第 14 行的 blacklist 过滤防止永久绑死在已饱和的 D 上;与 Algorithm 3 的 reset-on-success 配合,限定了 migration 频率。
### 3.2 Algorithm 2`Admit(d, r, M, K)` — D-worker admission 决策
在 D worker 自己的 scheduler 内部执行(非 router这是 **KVC 的机制核心**:每个 D 自治判断能否把 `r` 当作 Directappend-only服务还是必须改走 P 路径。
```
输入D worker d请求 rd 上本地常驻的 session 集合 M_dKV 池预算 K_d
输出⟨can_admit ∈ {True, False}, mode ∈ {Direct, Seed, Reseed, ⊥}, reason⟩
1. used_tokens ← Σ_{s' ∈ M_d} resident_tokens(s', d) // D 自己的 bookkeeping
2. cap_ok ← (used_tokens + input_len(r)) ≤ ρ · K_d // 高水位线 ρ ≈ 0.95
3. if s(r) ∈ M_d : // session 在 d 上有常驻
4. if append_len(r) ≤ τ_append and cap_ok :
5. return ⟨True, Direct, ∅⟩ // → 快路径
6. elif append_len(r) > τ_append :
7. return ⟨False, ⊥, "real-large-append"⟩
8. else :
9. return ⟨False, ⊥, "no-d-capacity"⟩
10. else : // session 在 d 上无常驻
11. if cap_ok :
12. mode ← Seed if t(r) = 0 else Reseed
13. return ⟨True, mode, ∅⟩ // → 经 P 做 KV seeding
14. else :
15. return ⟨False, ⊥, "session-not-resident-no-capacity"⟩
```
**说明**
- 该过程通过同步 HTTP RPC`/admit_direct_append`)从 router 调用。RPC 阻塞直到 D scheduler 给出权威答复——这是 v5 引入的 **"worker-mode admission"**,替换了更早的 router-端容量估算(系统性偏乐观)。
- reason 字符串被回传给 router用于(i) 在 Algorithm 3 中驱动 fallback chain(ii) 标注 `execution_mode` 字段便于分析。
### 3.3 Algorithm 3`Dispatch(r, Σ)` — 端到端 orchestration

1. retries ← 0
2. tried ← ∅
3. while retries < ε :
4. d* ← Route(r, Σ \ {对 tried 中的 d 已 bump 过的 rejects})
5. if d* = ⊥ : break // 无候选

7. if resp.can_admit :
8. Σ.rejects[s(r), d*] ← 0 // ◀ reset-on-successv2
9. Σ.pin[s(r)] ← d*
10. Σ.inflight[d*] ← Σ.inflight[d*] + 1
11. if resp.mode = Direct :

16. 在 p 上做 r 的 prefill
17. 经 mooncake 把 KV(r) 从 p 传到 d*
18. 在 d* 上 decode r
19. return resp.mode
20. else :
21. Σ.rejects[s(r), d*] ← Σ.rejects[s(r), d*] + 1
22. tried ← tried {d*}
23. retries ← retries + 1
24.
25. // ε 次重试耗尽——退化 Fallback 到 vanilla pd-disagg
26. p ← round_robin_next(Σ, P)
27. d ← round_robin_next(Σ, D)
28. 通过 ⟨p, d⟩ 走 pd-disagg(r)
29. return Fallback
```
**维持的关键不变量**
1. **不会静默过载**:一个 D 永不接受会让 `used_tokens > ρ · K_d` 的请求Algorithm 2 第 2 行)。
2. **不存在永久饿死**:对任意 session `s`,只要曾在某 D `d*` 上成功过一次,之后 `Σ.rejects[s, d*] = 0`Algorithm 3 第 8 行)。因此 blacklist 计数器不会对仍在某处成功获得服务的 session 累积——这阻止了 **v1 的 thrashing 病理**:原本 blacklist 计数器单调增长 + 退化 fallback 形成自放大的 round-robin 死循环。
3. **migration 有界**:一个 session 从 D `a` 迁移到 D `b` 必须经过连续 `τ_reject` 次在 `a` 上失败、期间无任何成功。每个 session 生命周期内的最坏 migration 次数 ≤ `(|D| 1) · τ_reject`
### 3.4 Reset-on-success为什么这是关键修复v1 → v2 演化)
v1 实现**省略了** Algorithm 3 第 8 行——一旦 `(s, d)` 累积 `τ_reject` 次拒绝d 对该 session **整个 run 永久 blacklist**。实测Migration v1`docs/MIGRATION_V1_FINDINGS_ZH.md`)触发了自放大的失效模式:
```
session s 在 d 上稳定服务 70 个 turn
↓ 瞬时 burst 让 d 短暂饱和
3 次到 d 的 admission 被拒 → rejects[s,d] = 3 → d 对 s 永久 blacklist
↓ s 迁到 d'd' 也在负载中 → 被拒 → blacklist
↓ d'' 同理
所有 D 都 blacklist → 退化 fallback round-robin → 每次重试都 bump 一次计数器
→ s 永远在 D 之间 thrashing每次都丢失 KV residency
```
reset-on-success 关上了这个回路:只要 `s` 在任一 d 上真正完成一次 Direct针对该 session 的 blacklist 立刻清零。该机制只对**持续性**(不是瞬时性)容量压力触发。
---
## 4. 性质
### 4.1 Theorem 1在有界 ε 下无永久饿死)
*假设 `τ_reject ≥ 1` 且每个 D worker 的容量非零。则对任意能在 admission 时容下的 session `s`Algorithm 3 在至多 `|D| · τ_reject` 次重试内返回 `{Direct, Seed, Reseed}` 之一;之后任意一次 Direct 成功即可清空 `s` 的所有 blacklist。*
**证明概要**每次循环要么成功return、要么恰好让某个 `rejects[s, d]` 计数器 +1第 21 行)。经过 `|D| · τ_reject` 次迭代后,每个 D 要么对 `s` 已被 blacklist`Route` 第 1 行会过滤),要么已成功(已终止)。在所有 D 都被 blacklist 的饱和点,`Route` 第 3 行返回最少被拒的 D打破对称性强制取得进展。∎
### 4.2 Theorem 2fast-path 命中下限)
*假设 session `s` 在 D `d` 上已积累 KV residency `R_s ⊂ H`,且在某 turn `t > 0` 提交的请求 `r` 满足 `prefix_hashes(r) ⊆ R_s`、`append_len(r) ≤ τ_append` 且 admission 容量充足。则 Algorithm 3 将 `r` 路由为 Direct(d)。*
**证明概要**:由 Algorithm 1`overlap(d) = |R_s|` 取得最大值;结合 `α·sticky(d) ≥ 1`d 的字典序得分严格高于任何 `prefix_hashes(r) ⊈ R_{s,d'}` 的 d'。故 `Route` 返回 d。`Admit(d, r)` 进入 `s ∈ M_d ∧ append ≤ τ_append ∧ cap_ok` 分支,返回 Direct。∎
这是 **支持架构设计的机制级保证**:只要 residency、append 大小、容量三者同时成立,快路径就被**确定性地**选中KVC 在典型场景下的 TTFT 优势是结构性属性,不是概率性。
### 4.3 复杂度
每个请求:
- `Route``O(|D|)`(每个候选 D 算一次 score。生产规模下 `|D| ≤ 8`,主要开销在 Python 层,≪ 1 ms。
- `Admit`D scheduler 内部 O(1)(查自己的 bookkeeping无全局锁
- Router 层的单请求总开销:`O(|D|)` 计算 + 1 次到目标 D 的 HTTP RTTloopback 亚毫秒,跨机数据中心约 1 ms

## 8. Anti-patternsKVC **不**是什么)
1. **KVC 不仅仅是 kv-aware routing**。DP 和 KVC 都可以跑 `kv-aware` policyKVC 在此之上加了三件事:(i) session 钉定,(ii) worker 端 admission(iii) 带 reset-on-success 的 migration。如果在比较 "KVC vs DP" 时缺这三个要素的任何一个,**测的就不是 KVC 与 DP 的差异**。
2. **KVC 在 policy 项里不直接感知容量**`Route` 不查 per-D 容量;容量感知完全经由 `Admit` 拒绝来传导。我们刻意做了这层分层——把容量判断放进 `Route` 会引入"换 D"的决策空间,导致 orphan KV 滞留问题。
3. **KVC 不保证 load balance**。一个 session 若能舒服地装在某个 D 上,可能永远钉在那里,而其它 D 大部分时间空闲。在低容量压力下这是设计意图;高压力下 Theorem 1 的 migration 会触发再均衡。
4. **`Fallback` 不是"降级路径"**。它和 vanilla pd-disagg 请求结构性等价延迟特征相同。KVC 的价值在于让 Fallback 占比在典型 agentic workload 下 ≪ 10%。
---
## 9. 公开问题reviewer 关注点)
以下问题在当前评测中尚未解决,主动列出以保持透明:
1. **Session 钉定相对于纯 P/D disaggregation 的边际贡献是多少?** 需要 `naive 1P3D` 对照实验vanilla SGLang xPyD不带 KVC 层)——仓库当前缺失(见 `docs/V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md §4.7`)。
2. **Algorithm 3 在更高压下行为如何**(例如 ts=10 加速、session 数 ≫ |D|·K_d/peak_input当前 ts=1 评测对应真实 agentic 区间,但算法在更高负载下的鲁棒性未经实验验证。
3. **真 RDMA 下的 reseed 代价**:本次评测的 37 s reseed 延迟由两段组成——P 端 re-prefill1.5-3s+ P→D mooncake transfer1.5-4s。当前 sweep 用的是 TCP loopback启用 IB/RoCE节点有 mlx5_0/_1 @ 200 Gb/s × 2 active需在 sweep 加 `--force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0`)只能压缩 transfer 段到 ~200ms**不动 re-prefill 段**。预期 TTFT p99 从 1.28s 降到 ~0.7s(仍输 DP 0.43s)。待独立验证。
4. **D→P 增量 KV 同步(核心 future-work 缺口)**reseed 长尾的真正消除需要让 P 端 backup 跟上 D 的 direct-to-D append 增长。经独立 forensic 审查,**当前代码、vendored SGLang、mooncake 三层均无 D→P KV transfer 实现**mooncake `MooncakeKVManager` 是 PREFILL=sender / DECODE=receiver 的硬角色分支(`add_transfer_request` 上有 `assert disaggregation_mode == PREFILL` 硬约束),`BaseKVSender` / `BaseKVReceiver` 抽象无 bidirectional slot`session_aware_cache.release_session` 在驱逐时只调 `kv_pool_allocator.free()` 无出站,`_commit_prefill_backup_residency` 唯一 caller 是 seed/reseed 路径;`capacity-backup` policy 的真实语义只是"reseed 完不关 P streaming session"——backup 是 seed-time 的静态快照,不随 direct-to-D append 同步。要实现 D→P 增量同步,工程量 ~1-2 周,最难的不是 mooncake 加 D-sender / P-receiver 角色(~400 LOC而是 **SGLang radix tree 改成允许从外部 worker 喂数据**——radix cache 当前假设单一生产者(本 worker model 输出)。这是论文里最值得做的 contribution 之一。
5. **v2 代码路径下的确定性**v0 代码库的 ts=1 N=3 categorical 确定性已经证实;新增的 reset-on-success 分支与 threshold=8192 路径未被独立 re-validate。两个额外的 N=1 run 即可解决。
---
## 10. 论文引用建议
论文中提到本算法时建议表述:
> "We use the KVC-Router scheduling algorithm (Algorithms 13 of [our paper], formally defined in our supplementary materials). The router selects a decode worker by lexicographic scoring on `(overlap+α·sticky, sticky, inflight, assigned)` (Algorithm 1), defers the admission decision to the chosen worker via a synchronous RPC (Algorithm 2), and maintains a per-(session, decode worker) rejection counter that is reset on every successful Direct admission (Algorithm 3). This last detail — reset-on-success — is what distinguishes our v2 from the unstable v1 implementation that exhibits self-amplifying session thrashing."

# Migration v1 实验发现blacklist 永久性导致 thrashing
**日期**2026-05-08
**状态**v1 run 进行中(~23% 完成时的中期分析)
**前置文档**
- `docs/REFACTOR_PLAN_V1_ZH.md` §6.2v1 设计)
- `docs/TEAM_REPORT_AGENTIC_PD_HYBRID_ZH.md` §2.1§1 starvation claim
**触发**v1 实现的 session migrationrejection blacklist 机制)部署后,观测到 session-level thrashing——某些 session 在 3 个 D 之间 round-robin 高达 75-116 次。本文记录中期数据、根因诊断、v2 设计。
---
## 0. TL;DR
1. **v1 修复了 §1 starvation 但引入了新的 thrashing 失效模式**——不是 admission 过严,是 blacklist 永久累积的设计 bug
2. **核心证据**session 6880 在 decode-1 上稳定 70 turns然后某瞬时 burst 把 reject 计数累积到阈值,被永久 blacklist之后陷入 3-D 间 round-robin 死循环
3. **85% admission 拒绝是 `session-not-resident`**——非 D 真容量问题,而是迁移后"新 D 第一次见你"的正常语义
4. **v2 设计**reset-on-success 让 reject 计数在成功 turn 后清零,只有**持续**失败才迁移
5. **深层观察**baseline 的"100% pin 但稳定"可能比"分布均匀但 thrashing"更好——糟糕的优化可能比不优化还糟
---
## 1. v1 实施回顾
### 1.1 改动文件
- `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/policies.py``RoutingState.session_d_rejects` Counter`KvAwarePolicy.migration_reject_threshold=3` skip blacklisted Ddegenerate fallback 选最少拒的 D
- `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py``_run_request` 末尾 `state.record_admission_reject(sess, D)`(基于 execution_mode 子串匹配);`_fallthrough_reason``pd-router-fallback-large-append-*` 拆成 `session-not-resident` / `real-large-append` / 等
- CLI / benchmark wiring
### 1.2 v1 假设(事后看部分错误)
- "reject 计数 + 阈值 3 = 容忍短期波动 + 持续失败迁移" ← **错**counter 永久增长导致迁移成必然
- "迁移到新 D 后 session 在新 D 稳定下来" ← **部分错**,迁移到的新 D 也很可能很快 reject
- "session-not-resident 不会触发计数" ← **大致对**,但下游 fallback 可能间接触发

---
## 3. 根因诊断session 6880 的轨迹
### 3.1 数据
```
turn 0-70: 全部在 decode-1 (71-turn 稳定 streak) ← §1 baseline 行为
turn 71-150: 在 3 个 D 间剧烈 thrashing
decode-0: 26 个短 streak
decode-1: 25 个短 streak
decode-2: 25 个短 streak
平均 streak 长度 = 2 turns
total streaks = 76
```
### 3.2 解读
**前 70 turn 完美稳定**session 6880 在 decode-1 上正常运行 70 个 turn每次都成功是 baseline §1 "100% pin" 的复现——稳定但不公平(其他 session 没分到 decode-1 的资源)。
**第 71 turn 后崩溃**
1. 某个瞬时 burst其他 session 的活动?)让 decode-1 短暂饱和
2. session 6880 在 decode-1 上连续 3 次被 admission 拒(`no-space``d-session-cap`
3. v1 的 `state.session_d_rejects[(6880, decode-1)]` 累积到 3 → blacklist
4. policy 改选 decode-0 → 同样发生 → blacklist
5. 改选 decode-2 → 同样 → blacklist
6. **3 D 全部 blacklisted** → degenerate fallback 在 3 D 间 round-robin
7. 每次 round-robin 又触发新 reject → 计数继续涨 → 永远在 thrashing 死循环
### 3.3 admission 数据交叉验证
中期 1932 admission events 解构:
| mode × can_admit × reason | count |
|---|---:|
| `direct_append, True, None` | 1721成功|
| `direct_append, False, session-not-resident` | **62** |
| `seed, True, None` | 142成功|
| `seed, False, no-space` | **11** |
**只有 11 个 "no-space" 才是真容量拒绝**(占总 admission 的 0.6%。62 个 "session-not-resident" 是迁移后"新 D 第一次见你"的正常语义。
但因为 v1 用 `_is_admission_rejection_mode` 通过 execution_mode 子串匹配,下游 fallback chain 会把 `session-not-resident` 也间接累积到计数器fallback 链路本身可能触发 session-cap
---
## 4. 设计 bug 三层
### 4.1 Bug 1blacklist 永久性
```python
# policies.py 当前实现
if rejects >= self.migration_reject_threshold:
continue # skip this D forever
```
`session_d_rejects[(sess, D)]` 是单调递增 Counter。一旦达到阈值**永远**被 skip。但 D 的容量是动态的——70 个 turn 后短暂饱和不代表它后续不能服务这个 session。
### 4.2 Bug 2degenerate fallback 加剧问题
当所有 D 都被 blacklist
```python
best_decode_worker_id = min(
(w.worker_id for w in topology.route_workers),
key=lambda wid: state.session_d_rejects.get((sess, wid), 0),
)
```
选"最少被拒"的 D。但每次 fallback 又增加该 D 的计数 → 下次选另一个 D → 形成完美 round-robin永远走不出 thrashing。
### 4.3 Bug 3信号归并粗糙
`_is_admission_rejection_mode` 子串匹配 `session-cap` / `no-d-capacity` / `d-backpressure`,但执行链路可能这样:
```
direct_append → session-not-resident85% 占比,正常迁移后语义)
→ fallback 试 seed
→ seed admit ok142/153 = 93%)→ execution_mode = pd-router-d-session-reseed-*(不计 reject
→ seed no-space11/153 = 7%)→ execution_mode = pd-router-fallback-X-no-d-capacity计 reject
```
绝大多数 fallback 不会触发 reject 计数。但 thrashing 一旦开始,很容易踩到那 7% no-space 路径calculator 增长一次。15+ 次 thrashing 后,单 D 计数累到 3 完全可能。
**所以设计 bug 不在信号粗糙,而在永久累积 + degenerate round-robin。**
---
## 5. 深层观察:稳定 vs 公平的 trade-off
| | baselinev0| v1 |
|---|---|---|
| 公平性 | 18/52 永久饿死 | 0 永久饿死 |
| 稳定性 | 100% pin结构稳定| 6/29 严重 thrashing |
| Per-D 负载均衡 | ±26% | ±1.1% |
| 大 session 体验 | 慢但稳定(每 turn 都走 fallback ~1.0s| 不稳定 + 频繁 D 切换 + 丢 KV state |
**预想反直觉的结果**v1 在头部指标per-D 均衡)赢,但在 session 体验可能输——
- baseline 的 fallback 路径有稳定 ~1s latency
- v1 的 thrashing session 每次 D 切换都 close 旧 session、丢 KV、新 D 上重新建立——有可能 latency 反而更高
需要等 run 结束的 lat mean / TTFT mean 数据验证。**糟糕的优化可能比不优化还糟。**
---
## 6. v2 设计
按 ROI 排序的修复层。**先做 #1,验证后再决定是否需要 #2/#3**。
### 6.1 v2-fix-1reset-on-success最高 ROI
```python
# replay.py _run_request 末尾,在 state.finish 后
if execution.execution_mode == "kvcache-direct-to-d-session":
# 这次 direct-to-D 成功 = D-X 仍能服务这个 session
# 清零累积的 reject 计数(消除永久 blacklist
state.session_d_rejects[(request.session_id, decision.decode_worker_id)] = 0
```
**预测效果**
- session 6880 在 decode-1 上 70 个成功 turn 把计数反复清零
- 即使中间出现 1-2 次瞬时 reject下次成功立刻清零
- 只有**持续**失败reject 后 reject 后 reject没有夹杂 success才能累到阈值
- 真饿死的 session如 35680/39360 input >92K才会触发迁移
**工程量**~5 行代码 + 1 个 smoke + 1 个完整 run~5.5h
### 6.2 v2-fix-2sliding window如果 #1 不够)
`Counter` 改成 `dict[(sess, D), deque[float]]` 存最近 K 次拒绝时间戳。判断时用最近 N 秒(或 N 个 turn内的次数。
更稳健但更复杂。**若 #1 已能彻底解决 thrashing跳过此项。**
### 6.3 v2-fix-3reject 类型分离(如果 #1 + #2 不够)
把 admission reason 显式传到 _run_request区分
- `no-space` / `session-cap` / `backpressure` → 计 reject
- `session-not-resident` → 不计
需改 `ExecutionResult``admission_reject_reason` 字段,并在 fallback 链路传递。**不在第一轮**——先看 #1 是否够用。
### 6.4 v2 应保留的 v1 设计
- 阈值 3不变
- `record_admission_reject` 的子串匹配(不变)
- 新 fallback labels`session-not-resident` 等)(不变)
- degenerate fallback 选最少拒的 D不变但因为 reset-on-success 几乎不会触发到此分支)

| 最大 D-switches/session | 0 | 116 | <10仅真饿死 session|
| Sessions 永久饿死 | 18 | 0 | 2-3仅真容量超限|
预测核心v2 应该结合 baseline 的稳定性70-turn streak 应保留+ v1 的公平性无永久饿死消除 v1 thrashing 副作用
---
## 9. 局限与未验证
1. **v1 中期数据 (23%) 推测**完整数据可能改变 thrashing 严重性的判断
2. **session 6880 trajectory 的崩溃机理是推断**基于 admission events 数据 + streak 模式但没有直接日志证明 reject 计数何时跨阈值需要在 v2 instrument 输出
3. **reset-on-success 的预测效果未验证**基于"70 turn 成功" + "1-2 次瞬时 reject" 的假设如果 burst 持续多 turn仍可能跨阈值
4. **可能还有未发现的设计 bug**v2 也许还会暴露新问题
5. **三方对比需 same trace + same scale + same ts=1**baseline 已有 N=3v1/v2 N=1ts=1 确定性 N=1 可信
---
## 10. 给 TEAM_REPORT 和 REFACTOR_PLAN_V1 的更新建议
完成 v2 验证后
1. `TEAM_REPORT` §3 ts=1 验证更新章节加入 §3.3 "Migration mechanism evolution: v0 v1 v2"
2. `REFACTOR_PLAN_V1` §6.2 标注实施反思——预设的 "rejection blacklist" 设计漏掉了 reset-on-success 这条
3. 在新文档 `docs/POLICY_DESIGN_PRINCIPLES_ZH.md` 提炼出原则"任何会累积的代价机制必须配 healing/decay 机制否则会陷入 self-amplifying 失效模式"

# 接班 Agent 上手手册
**对象**:接手本项目的下一个 SWE/research agent
**目标**30 分钟读完后达到当前主 agent 的认知水平,能独立跑对照实验、看懂数据、避开历史坑
**作者状态**:本手册定稿于 `kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4 @ 506d360`,下一个工作分支是 `feat/d-to-p-sync`
---
## 0. 你是谁你将要做什么5 行 TL;DR
1. 你接手的是 **agentic-pd-hybrid**——SGLang xPyD 基础上加 session-aware KVCache 层的 LLM serving 框架,目标是在多轮长 context coding agent workload 上比 vanilla DP 快
2. v2迁移机制 + threshold tuning已经在 SWE-Bench 50sess trace ts=1 上**击败 4DP CA** 6/8 个 latency/TTFT 指标,但 **TTFT p99 输 3×**1.28s vs 0.43s
3. 上一个 agent 已诊断出 TTFT p99 长尾的根因——8.3% 请求走 reseed 慢路径,每次需要 P 重算 prefill + mooncake transfer = 3-7s
4. **你的任务**:在有 GPU + IB RDMA 的环境上跑 2 组对照实验,验证 (a) naive 1P3D + kv-aware 相对 KVC 的边际贡献、(b) 启用真 RDMA 后 KVC v2 的 TTFT p99 是否能压到 ~0.7s 量级
5. 跑完结果 push 到 `outputs/`,主 agent 会拉下来更新 paper draft 和 future-work 文档

## 2. 项目当前状态快照(用一张表说清)
```
Trace: outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl (4449 reqs / 52 sessions, time-scale=1.0)
Hardware: 4× H100 80GB + Mellanox mlx5_0/_1 @ 200 Gb/s IB (active, but **未启用** in current sweep)
Model: Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 (TP1)
Branch: kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4 = 主分支v2 已合入)
feat/d-to-p-sync = 预留给 D→P 增量同步的开发,**当前空**
main = 旧 baseline比主分支落后 18 commit
```
### 已得出的结论(高置信度)
1. **v2 (reset-on-success + threshold 8192) 击败 4DP CA**lat mean -1.4%、p50 -13%、TTFT mean -25%、TTFT p50 -55%、TTFT p90 -67%
2. **TTFT p99 KVC 输 3×**1.28s vs 0.43s。来自 8.3% reseed/fallback 慢路径
3. **慢路径耗时五五开**P 端 re-prefill ~1.5-3s + mooncake P→D transfer ~1.5-4s**当前是 TCP loopback**,未启用真 RDMA
4. **capacity-backup 救不了 slow path**:直接 audit 过P 端 backup 不会随 direct-to-D append 更新,是 seed-time 静态快照
5. **D→P 增量同步代码不存在**:经 Opus agent forensic 审查 + 全分支 git 检索确认
### 待验证的核心假设(**这是你的实验任务**
| # | 假设 | 验证方法 | 预期结果 |
|---|---|---|---|
| H1 | KVC v2 相对 4DP 的胜利不只是来自 1P3D 拓扑——KVC 层admission / migration / direct-to-D也有显著贡献 | 跑 naive 1P3D + policy=kv-aware ts=1 N=1vanilla SGLang pd-disagg无 KVC 层)作为中间对照 | naive 1P3D 应该处于 KVC v2 和 4DP 之间。如果它 ≈ KVC v2 → 胜利来自拓扑而非 KVC 层;如果 ≈ 4DP → 胜利来自 KVC 层 |
| H2 | 启用真 RDMA 把 mooncake P→D transfer 从 1.5-4s 压到 200-400msTTFT p99 从 1.28s 降到 ~0.7s | 在 v2 sweep 加 `--force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0`,跑同 trace 同 ts=1 | TTFT p99 应该 ~0.5-0.8s 区间。如果没改变 → mooncake 实际没用 RDMA / 配置错误;如果降到 ~0.3s → 我们对 transfer 段贡献的估计偏低 |
| H3 | 即使启用 RDMATTFT p99 仍然输 DP因为 re-prefill 段不动) | 同 H2 实验结果 | 应该看到 TTFT p99 ~0.7s > DP 0.43s。如果 ≤ DP → 我们对 re-prefill 段成本的估计错了,可能整个 slow path 理论需要重审 |
---
## 3. 你要跑的实验the main task
### 3.1 实验矩阵(按 ROI 排序)
GPU hour 珍贵,砍掉了原计划的 naive 1P3D + policy=default baselinelow-ROI——naive 1P3D 用 default policy 在多轮 cache 命中上几乎必败,没必要拿这个对比当 H1 的对照点)。最终保留 2 个 run
| # | 配置 | GPU | mechanism | policy | RDMA | 预期时长 | 目的 |
|---|---|---:|---|---|---|---:|---|
| **E1** | naive 1P3D kv-aware | 4 | pd-disaggregation | kv-aware | **on** | ~5.5h | H1分离"1P3D + kv-aware policy"贡献 vs "KVC 层admission/migration/direct-to-D"贡献 |
| **E2** | KVC v2 + RDMA | 4 | kvcache-centric | kv-aware | **on** | ~5.5h | H2/H3验证 RDMA 能把 TTFT p99 从 1.28s 压到 ~0.7s |
两个 run 串行约 11h并行用两组 GPU 可压到 ~5.5h。
### 3.2 启动配置:详细 flag 清单
参考 `scripts/sweep_ts1_migration_v2.sh` 作为底版。两个新 sweep 脚本的关键 flag
#### E1: naive 1P3D kv-aware
```bash
python -m agentic_pd_hybrid \
--mechanism pd-disaggregation \
--policy kv-aware \
--topology-pd 1P3D \
--transfer-backend mooncake \
--force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0 \ # ← 单独测拓扑+policy 而非 transport必须开 RDMA 才能跟 E2 公平
--trace outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl \
--time-scale 1.0 \
--concurrency 32 \
--request-timeout-s 300 \
--max-input-len 87811 \ # ← 拉齐到 DP 限,消除 abort 数量不对等
--output-root outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-ts1-naive-1p3d-kvaware
```
#### E2: KVC v2 + RDMA
参考 `scripts/sweep_ts1_migration_v2.sh`**只加两个 flag**
```diff
--transfer-backend mooncake \
+ --force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0 \
+ --max-input-len 87811 \
--kvcache-direct-max-uncached-tokens 8192 \
--kvcache-migration-reject-threshold 3 \
--kvcache-prefill-backup-policy release-after-transfer \
```
**保留 v2 的其它所有配置**——这是 v2 + RDMA 的 ablation**不要顺手改其它东西**。
### 3.3 实验前的环境验证(**别跳**
```bash
# 1. GPU
nvidia-smi -L # 应该看到 4 张 H100 80GB
# 2. RDMA
ibstat | grep -E "State|Rate|Port"
# 期望mlx5_0 / mlx5_1 都是 State=Active, Rate=200 Gb/s
# 3. Mooncake 能识别 RDMA 设备
python -c "from mooncake_transfer_engine import TransferEngine; e=TransferEngine(); print(e.get_local_topology())"
# 期望:输出包含 mlx5_0 / mlx5_1
# 4. 现有 v2 数据可读
python3 scripts/analysis/recompute_summary.py outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-ts1-migration-v2/kvc_1p3d_migration_v2_run1_metrics.jsonl
# 期望:打印出 failure_count=45, abort_count=40 等
# 5. 算法实现 syntax check
python3 -m py_compile src/agentic_pd_hybrid/{policies,replay,metrics,benchmark,cli}.py
# 期望:全过
```
任何一步失败**立刻停下来排查**,不要硬上。
---
## 4. 已踩过的坑(避免重复)
| # | 坑 | 症状 | 教训 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **abort 被计入 latency stats** | DP/KVC 都有 0.08s 的快速失败被算成"快请求",拉低 mean/p50 | 已在 `metrics.py` 修复commit `5eac9b4`)。新 run 出 summary 时会自动包含 `abort_count` / `failure_count` 字段 |
| 2 | **max-input-len 双方不一致**KVC=92098 vs DP=87811 | SGLang 按 mem_fraction_static 自动算 max_total_num_tokensKVC decode-only worker GPU 内存多 2 GB | 跑新 run 时显式传 `--max-input-len 87811` 强制对齐 |
| 3 | **mooncake 默认 TCP loopback** | sweep 脚本只传 `--transfer-backend mooncake` 不够,会落到 TCP跑出来比 RDMA 慢 10× | 必须加 `--force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0` |
| 4 | **capacity-backup 不是 D→P 同步** | flag 名字误导,看代码就会发现它只是"reseed 完不关 P session"KV 是 seed-time 静态快照 | 不要在 capacity-backup 上浪费时间;要真正消灭 reseed 长尾必须实现 D→P`feat/d-to-p-sync` |
| 5 | **N=1 在 ts=1 下"够用"是有条件的** | baseline N=3 确认 categorical 完全确定,但 v2 引入的 reset-on-success 等新代码路径未独立验证 | v2 + RDMA 的对照建议 N=2对 RDMA-on/off 各一次 |
| 6 | **ts=10 数据**别参考 | 当年的 372/912/396 errors 是 benchmark artifact不代表真实生产 | 所有比较锁定 ts=1不要尝试 ts=10 "复现"或验证 |
| 7 | **critic agent 的 "MAJOR" 别盲信** | 上一轮 critic 把 cache fragmentation / prefill 闲置标为 MAJOR其实是 KVC 的**设计意图** | 详见 `V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH §4.4 / §4.5`。Audit 视角和生产视角要分清 |
| 8 | **GPU utilization 图布局有残留小问题** | 组标签 (KVC 1P3D / DP 4-way CA) 与 subplot title 视觉上仍有轻微挤压 | 已被用户接受为可发表状态。不要再花时间调这张图 |
---
## 5. CLI 速查表
### 跑实验
```bash
# 完整 sweep参考 v2
bash scripts/sweep_ts1_migration_v2.sh
# 写自己的 sweep复制 sweep_ts1_migration_v2.sh改 mechanism/policy/output-root
```
### 看数据
```bash
# 修复版 summary推荐用这个旧的 summary.json 含 abort 污染)
python3 scripts/analysis/recompute_summary.py outputs/<run>/*_metrics.jsonl
# 跨配置对照
python3 scripts/analysis/analyze_ts1_validation.py # 比较 KVC vs DP ts=1 4-run
```
### 出图(参考 v2 流程)
```bash
# 4 张已有的图,对应不同 viz 问题
python3 scripts/analysis/plot_v2_path_breakdown.py # execution_mode 分布 + path-level latency
python3 scripts/analysis/plot_ttft_pdf.py # TTFT PDF (KVC vs DP)
python3 scripts/analysis/plot_gpu_utilization.py # GPU 利用率(请求计数 vs 工作量)
python3 scripts/analysis/plot_cache_efficiency.py # cache 效率hit rate vs turn + uncached ECDF
# 数据更新后重新出图:直接 rerun每个脚本都参数化了输入路径
```
### Git
```bash
# 主分支(实验)
git checkout kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4
# 新功能分支D→P 同步,空)
git checkout feat/d-to-p-sync
# 远程
origin = git@ipads.se.sjtu.edu.cn:wangjh/agentic-pd-hybrid.git
# Push 用 (SSH known_hosts 第一次需要 accept)
GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new -o UserKnownHostsFile=~/.ssh/known_hosts' git push
# user.email 没设全局,建议 per-commit 传:
git -c user.email=YOUR_EMAIL -c user.name=YOUR_NAME commit -m "..."
```
---
## 6. 跑完结果后看什么数字checklist
每个 run 跑完,**至少**收集以下几个数字(用 `recompute_summary.py`
```
☐ request_count (期望 4449)
☐ error_count + abort_count + failure_count
☐ latency_stats_s.{mean, p50, p90, p99}
☐ ttft_stats_s.{mean, p50, p90, p99} ← 别忘 p99这是 KVC 的真实代价点
☐ execution_modes 分布
☐ per_decode_load 分布(看负载均衡)
☐ per_prefill_load 注意dispatcher 计数 ≠ GPU 工作量)
☐ cache_hit_request_count + total_cached_tokens (推 cache hit rate)
```
### 两组对照实验跑完后看以下"决定性数字"
| 比较 | 关键看点 | 决策 |
|---|---|---|
| E1 (naive 1P3D kv-aware) vs E2 (KVC v2 + RDMA) | TTFT p50/p99、direct-to-D 占比 | 量化"KVC 层admission/migration/direct-to-D在 kv-aware 之上的额外收益"H1 |
| KVC v2 (TCP, 历史 v2 run) vs E2 (KVC v2 + RDMA) | TTFT p99、reseed mode 的耗时execution_mode == reseed 的 ttft_s p50 | 验证 H2/H3RDMA 救多少 transfer 段 |
| E1 (naive 1P3D kv-aware) vs DP 4w历史 ts=1 baseline| 全部 latency / TTFT 指标 | 间接锚定"拓扑差异 + kv-aware policy"的天花板 |
### 期待的数字范围(如果实验顺利)
| 配置 | lat p50 | lat p99 | TTFT p50 | TTFT p99 | direct-to-D % |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| **E1** naive 1P3D kv-aware | ~0.75s | ~8-10s | ~0.20s | ~0.8-1.2s | N/A |
| **E2** KVC v2 + RDMA | ~0.58s | ~7-8s | ~0.04s | **~0.5-0.8s** | ~91% |
| (参考) KVC v2 + TCP历史 | 0.58s | 8.7s | 0.04s | 1.29s | 91.6% |
| (参考) DP 4w历史 ts=1 | 0.67s | 8.4s | 0.09s | 0.43s | N/A |
**如果你看到的数字偏离这个范围 ≥ 2×**,先停下来检查配置(环境验证 §3.3 那些项目),不是写报告。
---
## 7. 遇到 X 怎么办FAQ
**Q: 跑出来 KVC v2 + RDMA 的 TTFT p99 比预期高很多(> 1s。**
A: 大概率 RDMA 没真用上。检查:
1. `outputs/<run>/<subdir>/benchmark-config.json``force_rdma` 是不是 `True``ib_device` 是不是 `"mlx5_0"`
2. 服务器 startup log`outputs/<run>/<subdir>/logs/prefill-0.log`)有没有 "MOONCAKE_DEVICE=mlx5_0" / "using RDMA" 类信息
3. `ibstat mlx5_0` 看 active 状态没掉
**Q: KVC v2 + RDMA 跑出来 TTFT p99 ≤ DP违反 H3。**
A: 这是个好消息。可能性:
1. 我们对 re-prefill 段耗时估计偏高(实际 SGLang 的 prefix cache 把 P 端 re-prefill 救了一半)
2. RDMA 直接快到把 transfer 段压到 ~50ms 量级,整个 reseed < 1.5s
3. v2 reseed 触发频率被 RDMA 间接降低某种 race condition 改善了 LRU 行为
任一情况都值得**深挖**建议把 reseed mode `ttft_s` 分布单独拉出来看应该有清晰的双峰fast reseed + 极少数 outlier)。
**Q: naive 1P3D 跑不起来 / SGLang 报错。**
A: 仓库里 `outputs/qwen3-30b-exps/pd-disaggregation-default-20260427T062616Z/` 有过历史的 1P1D 跑通配置可以参考常见坑
1. `--mechanism pd-disaggregation` `--topology` 必须配合topology 不能用 KVC 1P3D 名字
2. SGLang vendored `third_party/sglang/`**不要**`pip install sglang` 用外部版本——可能 API 不对齐
3. `--policy default` 时不要传 `--kvcache-*` 系列 flag会被 ignore 但会污染 config 输出
**Q: 我想跑别的对照(更大 trace / 更多 GPU / 真实 RDMA 跨节点)。**
A: 先把上面 2 E1-E2 跑完 2 个是论文核心 contribution ablation不能跳其它对照更长 trace8 GPU 2P6D真跨节点 RDMA naive 1P3D + policy=default `V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH §7.3`作为 follow-up
**Q: 跑完后想自动出对比图。**
A: 4 个现有 `plot_*.py` 脚本都是参数化的把输入路径改成你的新 run 就能复用如果对比维度变多如三方对比 naive vs KVC vs DP可以扩展现有脚本而不是新写—— `plot_ttft_pdf.py` 的模板
**Q: 发现 metrics.jsonl 字段不一致 / 缺字段。**
A: `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/metrics.py` `RequestMetrics` dataclass所有新增字段必须在那里加否则 `recompute_summary.py` 会报 KeyError。**注意**dataclass `field_names` 是按 `RequestMetrics.__dataclass_fields__` 取的不是 jsonl 里所有 key
---
## 8. 如果你完全卡住
读这一段
1. **不要**尝试在没看本手册 §1 必读文档的情况下硬上代码
2. **不要** main 分支或 `feat/d-to-p-sync` 上跑实验—— `kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4`
3. **不要** metrics.py 的统计字段除非你能解释清楚为什么它当前的 abort 排除是对的
4. **不要**信任 critic agent "MAJOR"标签要看代码层证据
5. **不要**跳过环境验证(§3.3直接跑长 sweep——5h 跑出垃圾数据浪费的成本更高
如果你卡住超过 30 分钟把卡点写成一句话去主 agent 留言git commit message / branch 注释)。
---
## 9. 主 agent 留给你的两个具体期待
1. **两组对照实验跑完后**在新 commit message 里给我以下数字 `recompute_summary.py` 输出格式
```
E1 naive 1P3D kv-aware: lat={mean,p50,p90,p99} ttft={mean,p50,p90,p99} fail_count
E2 KVC v2 + RDMA: 同上 + reseed-mode 的 ttft p50/p99 分开
```
2. **跑 E2 时收集 reseed 路径的实测耗时分布**
```
pd-router-d-session-reseed 这个 execution_mode 的 ttft_s 分布
并把 P→D mooncake transfer 时长 vs P 端 re-prefill 时长 单独拉出
(需要在 structural/admission-events.jsonl 里找 timestamp diff
```
这两组数字直接决定 paper future-work 章节怎么写 D→P sync 的必要性。

**项目落到情景 BKVC ≈ DP**——三种 forward 路径任团队决策(见 §6

### 1.3 KVC 5 errors 的真实身份
DP 的同 5 个 (sess, turn) 也"失败"——但 metrics 口径不同:
```
KVC: 计入 error_count
DP: metrics 记 error=OK + finish_reason={'type':'abort', 'message':'Input length (X) exceeds the maximum allowed length (87811)'}
```

**两边都拒同样的请求**——区别只在于 KVC 在 P 端拒KV 池满、DP 在 prefill 端拒max-input limit。**真实 mechanism 错误率KVC 0 / DP 0**。
### 1.4 ts=1 的确定性
KVC N=3 三次 run 跨 4449 records

## 2. 对 TEAM_REPORT §1-§7 的修订
| § | TEAM_REPORT 原 claim | TEAM_REPORT 原优先级 | ts=1 验证后状态 | **修订优先级** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| §2.1 | session pin + 容量盲选 → 25% 饿死 | **P0** | ✅ 结构性问题仍在18/52 session 永久 pin但代价从 6× 慢降到 ~2× | **P0**(唯一值得做的 KVC 优化)|

## 3. v0 REFACTOR_PLAN 回顾
### 3.1 v0 做对的
- **唯一代码改动选 backpressure**:作为对 §2.3 的最小验证手段是合理的
- **预算 KISS**:用 8h GPU 验证 §1-§7思路正确
- **明确"P0 是 time-scale=1 baseline"**v0 的 §1 末尾就指出 "time-scale=1 验证为 P0 待办"——本次实验正是把这条做了
### 3.2 v0 的核心误判
| v0 假设 | 实际 |
|---|---|
| backpressure 是 §3 的最小验证 → 也是修复 | ts=1 下 §3 的症状transfer cascade不存在backpressure 无效 |
| 8h 预算够跑 ts=1 baseline + backpressure smoke | ts=1 单 run 5.5h4 run 全跑要 22h实际跑了 22h |
| §1 / §2 的修复"超出 KISS 边界",先验证不修 | 验证后发现 §1 是**唯一**值得做的真问题,应该早点把它纳入 |
### 3.3 v0 的 backpressure 代码命运
代码保留(`--enable-backpressure` 默认 off原因
- 不删除是因为如果未来跑高压 / 大 trace / 真 RDMA 失败回归到类 ts=10 区间,可能仍有用
- 但**不部署、不启用、不文档化为推荐配置**——避免给以后看到代码的人误导

## 4. 修订后的优先级矩阵
```
必做 建议做 不做
──────── ──────── ────────
ts=1 必修 §1 capacity-aware (空) §2 / §3 / §4 / §5
policy + migration 的 ts=10 fix
ts=1 nice §2.7 metrics 标签 (空) §2.8 N≥3 严苛规则

文档 §3 写入 TEAM v0 标记 superseded ts=10 数据归档
REPORT 更新 (但保留可追溯性)
```
**唯一进入"必做工程"列表的是 §1**。其他全是文档或冷藏。
---
## 5. KVC vs DP 拆分到 path-level 看真实差距
理解 §1 的 ROI 必须先看 path-level不是整体均值
### 5.1 KVC 内部 path 性能(来自 ts=1 N=3 一致数据)
| Path | n | 占比 | Lat p50 | TTFT p50 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `kvcache-direct-to-d-session`(快路径)| 1903 | **42.8%** | **0.475s** | **0.042s** |
| `pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap`(慢路径)| 2409 | **54.2%** | 1.04s | 0.32s |
| `pd-router-turn1-seed`(每 session 一次)| 52 | 1.2% | 0.375s | 0.057s |
| 其余 | 85 | 1.8% | 多种 | 多种 |
### 5.2 DP 全部 path单一
| Path | n | 占比 | Lat p50 | TTFT p50 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `dp-colo-router` | 4449 | 100% | 0.659s | **0.090s** |
### 5.3 路径级对比
| | KVC direct | KVC fallback | DP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lat p50 | **0.475s**(赢 DP 28%| 1.04s(输 DP 58%| 0.659s |
| TTFT p50 | **0.042s**(赢 DP 53%| 0.317s(输 DP 252%| 0.090s |
**事实陈述**
- KVC 快路径 **明显快于** DP无 P 介入、无 mooncake transfer
- KVC 慢路径 **明显慢于** DPP→D transfer 开销没法摊到 turn 内)
- 当前 quick:slow = 42.8% : 54.2%——慢路径多 → 整体输 DP 9-47%
- 如果能把比例反过来到 70:25 或更好KVC 整体会赢 DP
**§1 的本质就是"为什么有 54% 进了慢路径"**——因为 18/52 session 被 pin 在容量紧张的 D 上,每次 admission 都拒。
---
## 6. 三种 forward 路径
> **更新2026-05-09**:情景 C **已实现**——见 `docs/V2_RESULTS_ZH.md`。下面三个分支保留作历史记录。
>
> | 情景 | 描述 | 状态 |
> |---|---|---|
> | A | KVC < DP接受现状转维护 | 不适用 |
> | B | KVC ≈ DP重新定义价值主张 | 不适用 |
> | **C** | **KVC > DP优化拉大差距** | **✓ 实现v2 在 7/8 头部指标击败 4DPTTFT mean -24%, p50 -54%, p90 -64%lat mean -0.8%, p50 -12.6%** |
>
> 关键修复:(1) reset-on-success blacklist decay消除 v1 thrashing(2) `--kvcache-direct-max-uncached-tokens` 2048→8192让 41% 大 append 走 direct-to-D 快路径。direct-to-D rate 从 baseline 42.8% 升到 v2 91.7%。
### 6.1 选项 A接受现状项目转维护
**判断**KVC 在 ts=1 + 同 scale 下 ≈ DP9% 慢、47% TTFT 慢),但**也没灾难性输**。如果项目目标是"验证 KV-aware routing 在 agentic 上是否可行",答案是 **可行但收益不显著**
**操作**
- 写 TEAM_REPORT §3 总结 ts=1 实验
- 把 ts=1 数据 + 4 个 run 归档到 `RESULTS_FROZEN_TS1.md`
- KVC 代码保留但标记 "experimental, not recommended for production"
- 团队转下一个项目方向(不是本文范围)
**成本**1 周文档收尾。
**风险**:放弃了 §1 修复后可能的 KVC > DP 上限。
### 6.2 选项 B做 §1目标让 KVC > DP
**判断**5.3 节的路径分析表明 KVC 快路径已经赢 DP如果把饿死 session 救回快路径KVC 整体可能赢 DP。
**具体改动**
#### 6.2.1 capacity-aware policy`policies.py:166-172`
当前评分(无容量项):
```python
score = (
overlap + sticky * self.sticky_bonus,
sticky,
inflight_penalty,
assignment_penalty,
)
```
提议改为:
```python
# 新增D 当前容量利用率(从 worker-mode admission 已能查到)
capacity_used = worker_capacity_used_ratio.get(worker.worker_id, 0.0)
# Hard cap容量 > X 时禁止该 D 进入候选
if capacity_used > HARD_CAP_THRESHOLD: # e.g. 0.85
continue
score = (
overlap_capped, # 原 overlap但限幅避免单个 D 永远赢
-capacity_used, # 新增二级排序项:偏好空闲 D
sticky,
inflight_penalty,
)
```
#### 6.2.2 session migration`replay.py` 或 policy 层)
当 session X 在 D-A 上连续被 admission 拒 N 次(如 N=3
- 主动 release X 在 D-A 上的 session state
- 允许下次 turn 把 X 路由到另一个 D
- 代价:丢失 D-A 上已积累的 KV——但 fallback 路径本来也丢了,**净收益正**
#### 6.2.3 metric 修复(`replay.py`
把"`pd-router-fallback-large-append-*`" 标签按真实原因细分:
- `session-not-resident-on-pinned-D`§1 主因)
- `real-large-append`>2048 阈值§2.7
- `session-was-evicted`(被 LRU 踢过)
- `session-cap-rejected`worker admission 拒)
让以后看 metrics 的人不再被名字误导。
#### 6.2.4 验证
- 每改动跑 KVC 1P3D ts=1 N=1categorical 确定,不需要 N=3
- 对比 baseline run1已有数据
- 关键指标:`kvcache-direct-to-d-session` 占比、整体 lat mean、TTFT mean
- 目标direct-to-D rate 从 42.8% 升到 > 70%、整体 lat 追平或赢 DP
**成本**3 天编码 + 5 天测试 + 2 天文档 ≈ 2 周。
**风险**
- session migration 可能导致 thrashA→B→A→B需要冷却时间机制
- capacity HARD_CAP 阈值需要 sweep 找最优
- 改完仍可能不赢 DP理论上限不知道
### 6.3 选项 C保留 KVC但寻找 KVC 真正赢的工作点
**判断**:当前 SWE-Bench 50 sessions × 30B 模型 × 4 GPU 是一个特定工作点。KVC 的设计初衷是"长 multi-turn session 的 KV 复用"——可能在某些其他工作点有显著优势。
**候选工作点**
- **更长 session>200 turns**:复用收益更大
- **更小模型(如 7B / 14B**mooncake transfer 占比更大KVC 节省更明显
- **更大 trace>200 sessions**DP 的 prefix cache 命中率会下降KVC 的 session-aware 优势放大
- **真实 RDMA非 mooncake TCP loopback**transfer 更快KVC 的 P→D 开销更小
**操作**
- 设计 1-2 个新 micro/macro benchmark
- 跑 KVC vs DP 对比
- 找到差距 > 30% 的工作点KVC 赢 / 输都是数据)
**成本**~1 个月trace 设计 + benchmark + 分析)。
**风险**:可能找不到 KVC 显著赢的工作点。
---
## 7. 推荐组合
按风险 / 收益排序:
1. **必做**(无论选 A/B/C
-`TEAM_REPORT §3 ts=1 验证更新`
-`metrics 标签口径`§2.7 + KVC/DP error_count 一致化)
- **冷藏 backpressure 代码**(不删但默认 off
- 把 v0 REFACTOR_PLAN 标 superseded
2. **强烈推荐**:选项 B 的 §6.2.1capacity-aware policy hard cap
- 工程量小(~1 天编码 + 1 天测试)
- 验证 §1 修复的真实收益是否如预测
- 如果 direct-to-D rate 不显著提升 → 把 §6.2.2 也加上
- 如果还不行 → 接受现状走选项 A
3. **看团队带宽**:选项 C 的工作点探索
- 不与 §6.2 冲突,可以并行
- 找到一个 KVC 真正赢的工作点会极大改变项目价值主张
---
## 8. 应该砍掉的事(明确列表)
| 事 | 砍的理由 |
|---|---|
| backpressure smoke sweepv0 计划的 4 run | ts=1 下 backpressure 无作用对象 |
| §2.5 admission API probe/commit 拆分 | 高压才显著,等找到 KVC 高压 workload 再说 |
| §2.2 D-side 分层 LRU evictionhot retract | drain time 自然吸收 |
| §2.4 P-side D-health-aware routing | 1P 测不出ts=10 现象高度存疑 |
| 大量 instrumentadmission-events / pool timeseries | 已经够了,先用现有数据 |
| 任何 ts=10 区间的优化 | 那是 benchmark artifact 主导的区间,不代表真实部署 |
| N≥3 实验作为硬规则 | 改写为"高压 N≥3常规 N=1 即可" |
---
## 9. 风险与未验证的假设
1. **4DP ts=1 是 N=1**:虽然 KVC ts=1 是确定性的DP 是新机制 N=1理论上需要 N≥3 验证。但 DP 在 ts=10 也是 0 errors / 1.43s mean行为相对 KVC 更稳定N=1 风险较小。**如选项 B 推进,建议补 N=2**。
2. **2 个 input-too-long session 是 trace 数据问题**:这两个 session35680、39360在 turn 132+ / 137+ 才超过 input limit。可能是 trace 生成时没控制好 max input。**应该独立把这两个 session 从 trace 移除或截断后重跑作为对照**。
3. **4 GPU 缩配 vs 8 GPU 原始**:本次 1P3D / 4DP 数据无法跨 8 GPU 原始数据直接比,需要在结论中明确。但 ts=1 + 同 scale 内部对比是干净的。
4. **mooncake TCP loopback**:所有 transfer 在单机 TCP 模拟下进行。生产 RDMA 下 KVC 的 transfer 开销可能显著降低KVC 优势可能扩大——这是 **选项 C 的一个候选维度**
5. **§1 修复是否真能让 direct-to-D 上升到 70%+ 是预测**:实际可能受 hash overlap 限制(即使 D 容量充裕,没有 prefix overlap 就走不了 direct-to-D。**需要 §6.2 验证后才知道天花板**。
6. **input-limit error 的 metrics 口径修复影响以后所有比较**:注意修改后 ts=10 历史数据的 error_count 也需要重算(或在分析时显式补偿)。

# Reseed 慢路径现状与 D→P KV 同步缺口
**日期**2026-05-11
**对象**:项目团队 + 后续 paper reviewer
**性质**:基线现状落盘 + future-work 缺口定位
**前置文档**
- `docs/V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md` §3.2 §4.2reseed 路径在 v2 数据中的表现)
- `docs/KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md` §3 §9算法形式化 + open questions
**目的**:把"v2 的 reseed slow path 为什么慢、能不能用现有机制治、还差什么"三个问题落盘成单一参考文档,让团队不必再口头反复对齐,让论文 future-work 章节有可引用的基础。
---
## 0. TL;DR
1. KVC v2 在 SWE-Bench 测试中 8.3% 请求走非 direct-to-D 的 reseed/fallback 路径,**单次 reseed 实测 3-7s**TTFT p99 = 1.28s 全部来自这条路径)。
2. 启用真 RDMA节点有 mlx5_0/_1 @ 200 Gb/s × 2 active能把 reseed 的 transfer 段(~1.5-4s压到 ~200-400ms但**对 re-prefill 段(~1.5-3s无效**。预期 reseed 总时间从 3-7s 降到 1.7-3.2sTTFT p99 ~0.7s**仍输 DP0.43s**。
3. 真正消除 reseed 长尾必须实现 **D→P 增量 KV 同步**——让 P 端 backup 跟上 D 在 direct-to-D append 路径上累积的 KV避免 reseed 时重新跑 prefill kernel。
4. 经 Opus agent 独立 forensic 审查commit `9ccd853`+ 全分支 git 检索:**当前代码、vendored SGLang、mooncake 三层均无 D→P 实现**,作者也没有在其它分支偷偷开发——仓库总共只有 main旧 baseline+ kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4本工作分支两个分支main 还落后我们 18 个 commit。
5. `--kvcache-prefill-backup-policy capacity-backup` 这个 flag 看起来像 D→P 同步但**不是**——它的真实语义只是"reseed 完不关 P streaming session"P 端 KV 仍是 seed-time 的**静态快照**,不随 direct-to-D append 而增长。
6. 实现 D→P 增量同步的工程量 ~1-2 周最难的不是网络层mooncake 加 D-sender / P-receiver 角色 ~400 LOC而是 **SGLang radix tree 改成允许从外部 worker 喂数据**——radix cache 当前假设单一生产者。
---
## 1. 团队成员的三个质疑关键框架paper 引用建议保留原话)
这三条质疑出自 v2 完成后的对话审查,**直接戳穿了"启用 capacity-backup 就能消除 slow path"的一厢情愿**。每条都有代码层证据支持,**全部成立**。
### 质疑一P 节点的 pool 塞得下所有 backup 的 KV cache 吗?
**回答塞不下max 同时 backup ~1-2 个大 session。**
代码证据(`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py:1618-1620`
```python
max_backup_sessions = max(1, capacity_tokens // max(1, target_tokens * 2))
max_backup_sessions = min(max_backup_sessions, 4)
```
按 SWE workload 实测代入:
- P 池 `capacity_tokens` ≈ 92,104 tokensSGLang 启动时按 mem_fraction_static 自动分配)
- 典型 session peak input `target_tokens` ≈ 50,000-80,000 tokens
- 计算:`92K // (50K × 2) = 0``max(1, 0) = 1`
-**P 最多同时 backup 1 个大 session**
对照小 session
- target 20K`92K // 40K = 2` → backup 上限 2 个
- target 10K`92K // 20K = 4` → backup 上限 4 个(达到代码硬上限)
**capacity-backup 在真实 agentic 长 context workload 下只能救少数 session不是全员保险。**
### 质疑二P 上的 backup 是陈旧快照——49K 的 append 内容根本没经过 P
**回答:完全正确,这是 capacity-backup 设计上的致命缺陷。**
**用户提供的反例场景**(已成为 paper 中描述 slow path 的标准例子):
```
turn 0: P 做 prefill 1K tokens → 经 mooncake 传到 D → P 留 1K backup
turn 1-50: 全部走 direct-to-DD 上做 append-prefillKV 在 D 上从 1K 增长到 50K
↑↑↑ 关键:这 49K 的 append 内容tool 输出、user 消息、模型生成)
**从未流经 P 节点**。P 端 backup 锁在 1K 状态。
turn 51: D 出于某种原因(容量、迁移、显式驱逐)拒绝 → 触发 reseed
→ 即使 P 上有 backup也只是 turn-0 的 1K
→ 实际需要 D 上重建的是 50K当前完整 context
→ P 必须从 prompt 重新 prefill 49K 的差额
→ capacity-backup 节省的 compute 仅 ~2%
```
**代码证据**(独立 Opus agent forensic 审查commit `9ccd853`
1. 唯一更新 `session.prefill_resident_tokens` 的函数是 `_commit_prefill_backup_residency``replay.py:1483`
2. 这个函数的唯一 caller 是 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router``replay.py:2208`)—— 即 seed/reseed 路径
3. `_invoke_session_direct``replay.py:2719`direct-to-D 路径)只更新 `session.opened` / `resident_tokens` / `last_trace_request`**从不触碰任何 P 端字段**
4. `_commit_prefill_backup_residency` 内部用 `_estimate_session_resident_tokens(request)` 取的是**完整 request 的预估**,不是 append delta——所以连 bookkeeping 层面都不假设有增量更新
**`capacity-backup` 的真实语义只是"reseed 完之后跳过 `_close_prefill_session`"**`replay.py:2221`P 端 streaming session 保持 open 状态、KV 留在 P 的 radix tree 中。但**不存在任何机制让这份 KV 跟上 D 端的 append 增长**。
### 质疑三D 触发 reseed 后,本机旧 session 的 KV cache 是不是清空了P 做完 re-prefillKV 推到哪里?
**回答:是的,旧 KV 直接 free 掉P 重新 prefill 完之后推到 router 选的新 target D可能同 D可能换 D。中间没有"先 dump 到 P 再清"的快捷方式。**
#### D 端驱逐时的 KV 处理
代码证据(`replay.py:_close_decode_session`1539-1569 行;`session_aware_cache.py:release_session`250-276 行):
```python
# replay.py 端
async def _close_decode_session(..., evicting_for_capacity=False):
if not session.opened:
return
await _close_streaming_session(...) # 给 D 发关闭信号
# 从 D 的 resident bookkeeping 里删掉这个 session
session.opened = False
session.resident_tokens = 0
if evicting_for_capacity and not session.prefill_opened:
residency.decode_evictions_without_prefill_backup += 1
# SGLang 端session_aware_cache.py
def release_session(self, session_id):
# 解锁引用 + 直接 free KV slots
self.token_to_kv_pool_allocator.free(kv_indices)
# ↑ 没有序列化、没有外发、没有 D→P 通道
```
**D 驱逐 = 把 KV slot 直接归还给 token pool 分配器。完全没有任何 outbound 网络调用。**
#### Reseed 时 P→D 的目标选择
驱逐之后的 reseed 路径(`_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router``replay.py:2101`)走的是与 turn 0 完全一样的 P-mediated seeding
```
1. KvAwarePolicy.select() 选择一个 target D'(可能是同一个 D也可能因 migration 换 D
2. _invoke_kvcache_seeded_router 在 D' 上 open 一个 streaming session
3. 给 P 发完整 prompt → SGLang pd-router 让 P 做完整 prefill
4. P 的 prefill 完成后通过 mooncake 把 KV 一次性推到 D'
5. D' 上接收完毕session 重建完成decode 继续
```
**所以 P 做完 re-prefill 的 KV 推到 KvAwarePolicy 选的 target D'**——可能是:
- 同一个 D驱逐后重新接受
- 另一个 D如果 reject 计数累积触发 migration详见 KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM §3.3
无论哪种,**旧 D 的旧 KV 在新 KV 到达之前就已经被 free**。没有 D→D 的直接迁移路径,没有"先 dump 到 P 再推回"的快捷路径。

## 2. Reseed 路径的完整 step-by-step 现状
把上面三个质疑串成端到端流程,以下是 v2 当前 reseed 路径的**完整**操作序列。每一步都标注实测耗时与代码位置。
### 触发条件
下列任一发生时 router 走 reseed 路径(详见 `KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md §3.3`
- D 端 `Admit()` 返回 `can_admit=False`,原因为 `no-d-capacity` / `session-not-resident` / 等
- KvAwarePolicy.select 返回的 D 不再持有该 sessionmigration 触发)
- v1/v2 的 reject counter 累积让所有 D 都被 blacklist极少触发由 reset-on-success 保护)
### 端到端时间线
```
t=0 上游 agent 发出 turn N 请求input ~50Kappend ~2K
t=~5ms Router 的 KvAwarePolicy.select() 选 target D'O(|D|) Python 评分)
t=~10ms Router → D' 发 admit_direct_append RPC
t=~30ms D' 返回 can_admit=False, reason="session-not-resident"
或 "no-d-capacity"Algorithm 3 bump rejects[s, D']++
fallback chain 最多再试 ε-1 个 D对应 ε ~30ms 总额)
t=~100ms 所有 D 都被拒 / 选不到适合 D路径退化到 seeded router
t=~110ms Router 转 _invoke_kvcache_seeded_router
t=~120ms [可选] capacity-backup policy 下_reserve_prefill_backup_capacity()
检查 P 池容量,若不够先 LRU 驱逐别的 P backup session
t=~150ms P 上 open streaming sessionHTTP /session/open
t=~200ms 发完整 prompt 到 SGLang pd-router → 路由到 P
t=~250ms P 开始 prefill
↓ ←←← 大头 1P-side re-prefill 段
↓ P 必须 prefill 完整 ~50K tokens
↓ 即使 capacity-backup 开着P 的 backup 只有 turn-0 的 ~1K
↓ radix prefix cache 命中前 1K剩余 49K 重算
↓ 实测耗时:~1.5-3s @ Qwen3-30B TP1
t=~2000ms P 完成 prefillKV 进入 mooncake transfer 队列
t=~2050ms mooncake 开始 P→D' transfer
↓ ←←← 大头 2P→D mooncake transfer 段
↓ KV 张量 ~5-9 GB50K tokens × 2 bytes/token × layers × heads...
↓ **TCP loopback** 实测耗时:~1.5-4s
↓ ↑↑↑ 当前 sweep 未启用 RDMA走的是单机 lo 设备
↓ 若启用 IB RDMA @ 200 Gb/s理论 200-400ms
t=~4500ms transfer 完成D' 上 session 重建好
t=~4510ms D' 开始 decode小幅度 append-prefill 余下的 ~2K append + 生成)
t=~4550ms 首个 token 出来 → TTFT 测点
```
**单次 reseed 总耗时3-7s**(中位 ~2.5s 来自较小 sessionp99 ~7.7s 来自最大 session。**re-prefill 段与 transfer 段大致五五开**,受 session 大小影响。
### 这就是为什么 v2 的 TTFT p99 = 1.28s
8.3% slow path 走的是上面这条流水线,其中 reseed 路径(`pd-router-d-session-reseed`)单独占 3.4%150/4449 请求),构成 KVC TTFT p99 长尾的主要贡献。
---
## 3. 已审查的所有"看起来像 D→P 但其实不是"的代码
下面这些在搜索时容易误判成 D→P 实现,**全部经独立 audit 排除**
| 文件:行 | 看起来像 | 实际是 |
|---|---|---|
| `replay.py:1483 _commit_prefill_backup_residency` | "把 backup 提交到 P" | bookkeeping 函数,更新 `session.prefill_resident_tokens` 计数字段。不传输任何 KV 数据,只在 seed/reseed 完成后被调用。 |
| `replay.py:1572 _reserve_prefill_backup_capacity` | "预留 backup 空间" | 检查 P 池可用空间并按 LRU 驱逐别的 backup session 腾位置。不传 KV只调整 reservation 计数。 |
| `cli.py:182 --kvcache-prefill-backup-policy` | "backup 策略" | 只决定 reseed 完成后是否 `_close_prefill_session`。capacity-backup = 保留 P 端 streaming session 不关release-after-transfer = 立刻关闭。**两种策略下 P 的 KV 都是 seed-time 的静态快照**。 |
| `session_aware_cache.py:release_session` | "释放 session可能含外发" | 仅调 `kv_pool_allocator.free(kv_indices)`。零网络调用。 |
| `disaggregation/decode.py: start_decode_thread` | "decode 端线程,可能有出站" | 纯 receiver loop。处理入站 `AUX_DATA / CHUNK_READY / STAGING_REQ / KVPoll.Success`**没有出站 KV 传输分支**。 |
| `disaggregation/mooncake/conn.py:1563` | "传输请求添加" | `assert disaggregation_mode == PREFILL`——硬约束,只有 P 端能调。 |
| `mooncake.MooncakeKVSender` / `MooncakeKVReceiver` | "双向 sender / receiver" | 强角色化Sender 只在 PREFILL 模式实例化Receiver 只在 DECODE 模式。`BaseKVManager` 抽象无 bidirectional slot。 |
| `pd-router-d-session-reseed-after-eviction` execution_mode | "走 backup 的快路径" | 实际还是走完整 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router`P 完整 prefill + 完整 mooncake transfer只是 `_eviction_suffix()` 在 execution_mode 字符串末尾加了 "-after-prefill-backed-eviction" 标签。**没有任何 fast-path 优化**。v2 中仅 2/4449 请求走到这个标签。 |
---
## 4. D→P 增量同步:要做的是什么
完整 D→P 增量同步的设计目标:**让 P 端的 backup KV 在 direct-to-D append 完成后异步追上 D 端的 KV让 reseed 退化为单次 P→D transfer无需 P re-prefill**。
### 抽象数据流
```
当前:
direct-to-D append: D 本地 append-prefillP 端 backup 锁住不变
reseed: P re-prefill 完整 50K + P→D transfer 完整 50K
目标:
direct-to-D append: D 本地 append-prefill**同时**异步把新增的 KV 块推回 P
reseed: P→D' transfer 完整 50K (already up-to-date)
无需 P re-prefill
```
### 实现层面要改的事
按工程难度排序:
#### 4.1 Mooncake 双角色化(中等难度,~400 LOC
- `BaseKVSender` / `BaseKVReceiver` 抽象保留,但允许同一 worker 同时实例化两种角色
- `MooncakeKVManager.__init__` 把 PREFILL / DECODE 分支改成"role set",允许 worker 同时持有 sender 和 receiver
- 新增 `DecodeKVSender`D 端用于把 append KV 推回 P
- 新增 `PrefillKVReceiver`P 端用于接收 D 的 append KV
- 引入第二个 bootstrap channel避免与原 P→D 通道在 buffer pointer 协商上冲突)
#### 4.2 D 端 append commit hook容易
- 每次 `direct-to-D-session` 完成后,识别新写入的 KV 块D scheduler 在 commit 时知道)
- 入队 D→P 传输(异步,不阻塞 next request
- 标记 backup 是否成功送达 P用于后续 reseed 决策)
#### 4.3 P 端 radix tree 多生产者扩展(**最难,工程量主体**
**这是真正的架构 blocker**。SGLang 的 P 端 radix cache 当前假设:
- 单一生产者(本 worker 的 model 输出)
- 树插入只在 prefill / decode 完成时发生
- KV 索引由本 worker 的 token_to_kv_pool_allocator 分配
要让 P 接收 D 喂来的 KV 块,需要:
- 扩展 radix tree 节点的写入路径,允许"外部供给的 KV + token 序列"被插入
- 处理 KV 索引重映射D 的 slot 号在 P 上无意义)
- 处理 reference counting同一 session 可能既被本 worker 用、又被 D 喂回更新)
- 处理 eviction policy 协调P 端 radix LRU 不应让"被 D 喂入的 backup"先被驱逐)
- 处理 KV 数据格式的跨 worker 兼容(同样的 model layout应该是 trivial但需要测试
#### 4.4 agentic-pd-hybrid 端 hook容易
- `_invoke_session_direct` 完成后,新增一步:触发 D→P 同步 RPC异步
- `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 在 reseed 触发前先 probe P 是否有 up-to-date backup若有跳过 re-prefill只做 P→D transfer
- 新增 CLI flag `--enable-d-to-p-sync`,默认 off保留 baseline 行为
- 新增 structural log channel 记录 D→P 同步事件 / 失败 / 延迟
### 实现完毕后的预期收益
| 指标 | 当前 (v2) | RDMA only | RDMA + D→P sync |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| reseed re-prefill 段 | 1.5-3s | 1.5-3s不变 | **~0**(已有 up-to-date backup |
| reseed transfer 段 | 1.5-4s | 0.2-0.4s | 0.2-0.4s |
| reseed 总耗时 | 3-7s | 1.7-3.4s | **0.2-0.4s** |
| TTFT p99 | 1.285s | ~0.7s | **~0.4-0.5s**(与 DP 接近或胜过) |
| 8.4% slow path 占比 | 不变 | 不变 | 可能保持但单次代价大幅下降 |
→ 这就是 paper 里 future-work 应当声明的**"完整版 KVC 才能真正在 TTFT 全分位数上击败 DP"** 的路径。
---
## 5. 仓库分支审查(确认无作者私下实现)
`git ls-remote origin --refs` 完整结果:
```
9ccd853... refs/heads/kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4 ← 本工作分支(含本文档)
e9062b1... refs/heads/main ← baseline落后我们 18 commit
```
- **服务器只有 2 个分支****0 个 tag****0 个隐藏 ref**
- main 是更老的 baseline`_commit_prefill_backup_residency` 等同名函数,但语义与本工作分支一致——都是静态 backup无 D→P 同步
- 全 git 历史搜索 `D->P / d-to-p / decode.*prefill.*transfer / kv.*pushback / kv.*sync / incremental / mirror` 关键词,**唯一命中是 commit `9ccd853`**(本文档相关的 doc 改动)
- 唯一 remote 是 `origin``git@ipads.se.sjtu.edu.cn:wangjh/agentic-pd-hybrid.git`),无 upstream / fork
**作者没有在其它分支偷偷实现 D→P**。这块工作是真空。
---
## 6. 下一步
按 ROI 排序:
### 必做(落地下一阶段)
1. **新开 `feat/d-to-p-sync` 分支** 从当前 `kvc-debug-journey-v1-to-v4` 起步
2. 写设计文档 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md`
- 包括上面 §4 的实现细节
- 添加 sequence diagramP/D 通信时序)
- 评估 SGLang radix tree 多生产者扩展的具体 API 改动
- 评估 D→P 同步对 direct-to-D fast path 自身延迟的影响(理想是异步零开销)
3. POC 阶段 1mooncake 双角色化 + 一个能跑通的 D→P transfer 单测
4. POC 阶段 2P 端 radix tree 多生产者扩展(重点工程量)
5. POC 阶段 3agentic-pd-hybrid 端的 hook + flag
6. 端到端验证:跑同 trace 同 ts=1 配置,目标 TTFT p99 < 0.5s
### 推荐
7. **同时启用真 RDMA**独立于 DP 工作只需改 sweep 脚本加 `--force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0`先把现有 transfer 段加速作为 baseline
8. **跑 RDMA-only 对照**先证明单 RDMA 启用能把 TTFT p99 1.28s 压到 ~0.7s再用 DP sync 把剩下的 re-prefill 段也吃掉这样 paper 里能写两条独立的 ablation
### 不要做的事
- main / 工作分支上做 DP 实验隔离开主分支应该保持 v2 稳定
- 试图通过 capacity-backup 现有 flag "调出"DP 效果——它结构上做不到

# SnapshotStore 重构(解决 P-side alloc-failed 死局)
**日期**2026-05-13
**Status**:设计阶段,开始实施
**根因**`docs/E4_VS_E1_RESULTS_ZH.md` §3 + E4-v4/v5 forensic 显示 D→P sync 167 次尝试 0 OK全部因 `prepare_receive` 试图从 `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N)` 拿 N 个 slot 而 P 的池被自己 prefill 工作占满
---
## 0. TL;DR
- 当前 P-side `prepare_receive``token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N)` 抢 kv_pool slot —— 跟 P 自己的 prefill 工作直接争抢资源 → 90%+ 时间 alloc-failed
- 重构方向:**P-side 用独立 GPU buffer 接收 snapshot**,与 kv_pool 解耦
- 在 finalize_ingest 时才把 snapshot bytes copy 进 kv_pool slots此时可以等更优的时机
- ~250 LOC 新代码,主要在 `disaggregation/snapshot/controller.py`
---
## 1. 当前实现的死局
```
prepare_receive(sid, num_tokens=50000):
indices = self.token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(50000)
if indices is None:
return ok=False, reason="alloc-failed" ← 90%+ 时间走这里
return slot_indices = indices.tolist()
```
`alloc(50000)` 在 P 池中找 50000 个 contiguous 空 slot。当 P 正在 prefill 自己的 request 时(这是 P 的常态),池里大部分 slot 被锁定 → 找不出 50K 个空闲的 → fail.
E4-v5 167 次 sync 尝试统计:
- 148 个 alloc-failed**88%**
- 19 个 session-not-residentD 端已 evict
- 0 个 OK
---
## 2. 新设计PrefillSnapshotStore 侧表
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ P worker scheduler │
│ │
│ kv_pool (existing, owned by P's prefill work) │
│ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ k_buffer[0..L]: (max_tokens, head, dim) │ │

│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Flow:
1. prepare_receive(sid, N):
slab = snapshot_buf_allocator.alloc(N * per_token_bytes_total)
record = (sid, slab_offset, N)
return (snapshot_buf_base + slab_offset for K_L, V_L per layer)
← never blocks on kv_pool
2. (out-of-band) D pushes KV bytes into the slab via mooncake RDMA
3. finalize_ingest(sid, token_ids):
record = pop ingest_record[sid]
slots = token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N) ← can fail here
if alloc-failed:
snapshot_buf_allocator.free(record.slab)
return ok=False, reason=alloc-failed-on-finalize
# copy snapshot_buf[layer L][token range] → kv_pool.k_buffer[L][slots]
for L in range(layer_num):
kv_pool.k_buffer[L][slots] = snapshot_buf[K_L_offset : K_L_offset + N * K_stride].view(N, head, dim)
kv_pool.v_buffer[L][slots] = snapshot_buf[V_L_offset : V_L_offset + N * V_stride].view(N, head, dim)
tree_cache.insert(InsertParams(key=token_ids, value=slots))
snapshot_buf_allocator.free(record.slab)
return ok=True
```
---
## 3. 关键 design choices
| 决策 | 选择 | 原因 |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot buffer 存哪 | GPU memory | 与 D RDMA 目标对称D 端 KV 也在 GPU避免 host↔device 拷贝 |
| 默认大小 | **8 GB** | Qwen3-30B 一个 ~50K-token session 的 KV ~5 GB8 GB 让我们至少 hold 一个 + 部分备份 |
| 分配粒度 | 单次 contiguous 一个 session 全部 KV | 简化 slab allocator + 单次 batch transfer |
| Layout | K-all-layers concat, then V-all-layers concat | 跟 mooncake 的 batch_transfer 接口对齐 |
| Free 策略 | finalize 后立即 free | 当 snapshot 已 ingest 到 kv_poolsnapshot_buf 副本不再需要 |
| 满了怎么办 | prepare_receive 返回 ok=False, reason=snapshot-buf-full | 让 caller fall back 到 re-prefill |
---
## 4. 接口变化
### 4.1 SnapshotPrepareReceiveReqOutput
旧:
```
k_base_ptrs: List[int] # 各 layer 的 k_buffer.data_ptr()
v_base_ptrs: List[int]
slot_indices: List[int] # kv_pool 中分配的 slot
stride_k_bytes / stride_v_bytes
```
新:
```
snapshot_buf_base_ptr: int # snapshot_buf.data_ptr()
k_layer_offsets: List[int] # 各 layer K 在 snapshot_buf 中的字节偏移
v_layer_offsets: List[int] # 各 layer V 偏移
num_tokens: int
stride_k_bytes / stride_v_bytes
slab_handle: int # opaque handle for finalize/abort
```
### 4.2 SnapshotFinalizeIngestReqInput
旧:
```
session_id, token_ids, slot_indices
```
新:
```
session_id, token_ids, slab_handle # P 用 handle 找到 record再 alloc kv_pool + copy + insert
```
### 4.3 D-side push 逻辑agentic
D 算 src_slot[L] → dst_slot[L] mappingbatch_transfer
D 算 src_slot[L] → snapshot_buf 中的 k_layer_offsets[L] / v_layer_offsets[L] mappingbatch_transfer。完全不需要 dst slot indices。
---
## 5. 实施步骤
| # | 步骤 | LOC 估计 |
|---|---|---:|
| 1 | `SnapshotBufAllocator`slab/bump allocator | 80 |
| 2 | `SnapshotLinkController.__init__` 加 snapshot_buf 分配 + 注册 | 30 |
| 3 | 重写 `prepare_receive`、新加 `_compute_layer_offsets` | 60 |
| 4 | 新加 `finalize_with_snapshot_buf` + 删旧的 `finalize_ingest` | 70 |
| 5 | 修改 io_struct 字段 + 删旧字段 | 30 |
| 6 | 修改 agentic `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 用新字段 | 40 |
| 7 | 改 mem leak check 计入 snapshot_buf | 5 |
| 8 | 单元 smoke test | 50 |
Total: ~365 LOC
---
## 6. 风险
| 风险 | 缓解 |
|---|---|
| 8 GB GPU mem cost | 用户可配置mem-fraction-static 已经留了 buffer |
| 多 session 抢 snapshot_buf | slab allocator + LRU evict 旧的 snapshot |
| GPU→GPU copy 性能 | ~5 GB @ 3 TB/s = 1.7 ms可忽略 |
| 接口大改影响 smoke | 在 commit 内完成所有接口变更smoke 同步更新 |
---
## 7. 验收
- [ ] `scripts/smoke_snapshot_sglang_integration.py` 跑通新接口prepare_receive 不再 alloc-failed
- [ ] E4-v6 跑同样 traced-to-p-sync.jsonl 出现 OK 事件 ≥ 30%vs 当前 0%
---
**核心句**:用 GPU 上独立的 snapshot_buf 接收 D 端推送,把"竞争 P kv_pool"这个根本性 alloc 冲突消掉,把 alloc 决策推迟到 finalize 时机,让 D→P 真正有机会跑通。

# agentic-pd-hybrid 现框架性能与结构性问题报告
**对象**:项目团队同学
**前置假设**:读者**没看过** v3-v6 KVC 实验日志
**数据范围**:项目仓库 `outputs/` 下截止 2026-05-06 的全部实验产物
**目的**:把"现状"和"问题"分别交代清楚,给后续改造提供共同事实基础
---
## 0. 给没看过实验的读者:基础概念速览
### 0.1 项目目标
验证 **session-aware / KV-cache-aware P/D routing****agentic coding workload**(多轮 session、长 context、增量 append上能否降低端到端延迟。基线对比对象是 vanilla SGLang xPyD。
### 0.2 三种部署机制(**这三个名词全程会用**
| 机制 | 形态 | KV 流向 |
|---|---|---|
| **pd-disaggregation**"PD disagg" | P 和 D 是独立进程、分占不同 GPU | 每个请求 P 算 prefill → mooncake 推 KV → D 解码 |
| **pd-colo**"DP"data-parallel | 没有 PD 拆分N 个独立完整 worker每个自己 prefill+decode | 没有 KV transferrouter 按 hash 分配请求 |
| **kvcache-centric**"KVC" | 部署形态同 PD disagg**D 上多了 SessionAwareCache**,能跨 turn 保留 session KV | 运行时决策:可走 direct-to-D无 P、可走 P→D disagg、可走带 reseed 的混合 |
**Direct-to-D**"D-direct"KVC 的快路径——D 上已有该 session 的 KV新 turn 在 D 本地做 append-prefill零 P 介入、零 mooncake transfer。这是 KVC 理论上能省时间的核心。
**Fallback**KVC admission 拒了 / 阈值不满足 / D 不健康时,退化到普通 PD disagg 路径。
**Routing policy**(与机制正交):
- `default`:纯 round-robin
- `sticky`turn 2+ 黏到 session 的 last D

# 第一部份:性能数据现象
## 1.1 三种机制在 Qwen3.5-35B (TP4) SWE 50sess 上的表现
来源:`outputs/swebench-exps/`
| Run | Mechanism | Policy | Errors | Lat mean | Lat P50 | Lat P99 | TTFT mean | TTFT P50 |
|---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `pd-disaggregation-default-20260426T202540Z` | pd-disagg | default | **0/4449** | 1.66s | 0.97s | 7.68s | 0.45s | 0.34s |
| `pd-colo-default-20260426T210129Z` | pd-colo | default | **4447/4449** | | | | | |
| `pd-colo-default-20260427T033519Z` | pd-colo | default | **0/4449** | 1.77s | 0.86s | 9.67s | 0.29s | 0.25s |
| `pd-colo-kv-aware-20260427T042034Z` | pd-colo | kv-aware | 469/4449 | 1.52s | 0.82s | 8.27s | 0.26s | 0.23s |
| `pd-colo-kv-aware-20260427T044944Z` | pd-colo | kv-aware | **0/4449** | **1.57s** | 0.81s | 8.48s | **0.22s** | **0.17s** |
| `kvcache-centric-default-worker-admission-20260426T210800Z` | KVC | default | **4390/4449** | | | | | |
### 现象解读
**(1) pd-disagg 是稳定基线**1.66s mean / 0 errors / 4199 cache hits94.4%)。可以正常服务。
**(2) pd-coloDP有两次 run第一次几乎全 crash第二次稳定**
- 04-26 的 4447/4449 errors 来自 SGLang `--disaggregation-mode null` + Qwen3.5-35B-A3BMamba/GDN hybrid`token_to_kv_pool_allocator memory leak` bugcrash 了
- 04-27 的两次 pd-colo run 都跑通了。**`pd-colo-kv-aware-20260427T044944Z` 是这一组实验里跑分最好的配置**——0 errors / TTFT P50 = 0.171spd-disagg 的 50%
**(3) KVC 在 SWE 35B 上的唯一一次 run 几乎全 crash**4390/4449 = 98.7% errors。但**那 56 个跑通的 direct-to-D 请求性能优异**——Lat mean 1.24sTTFT P50 0.081sKV transfer 196 块vs PD disagg 的 105K 块,**99.8%**)。说明 KVC 机制本身有效,但 admission control 把绝大多数请求过滤掉了。
### 一句话:在 Qwen3.5-35B 上,**pd-colo + kv-aware 是头名**KVC 机制配置不当几乎不可用。

## 1.2 同 trace 切到 Qwen3-30B (TP1)v1→v6 演进
为绕开 Mamba 模型的 SGLang bug团队后续切到 Qwen3-30B-A3B (TP1) 跑 KVC 调优 sweep。**所有结果用同一份 SWE 50sess trace**,可以横向比较。来源:`outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-*` 各目录。

- 0 errorsKVC 任一配置 errors 在 9-912 之间漂移)
### 1.2.3 v5+profile 的诡异:加 1Hz polling 让 errors 从 9 涨到 415
这条单独看v5 baseline 跑出来 9 errors加上 1Hz `/server_info` polling 之后 415 errors**46×**)。原因机理见 §2.5。
### 1.2.4 v6 P0 用 ×3 rerun 验证可复现性,结果是不能复现
**关键事实**v5 baseline 完全相同配置跑 3 次:
| Run | Errors | Lat mean | Lat P50 | TTFT P50 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| rerun1 | **372** | 3.50s | 1.11s | 0.147s |
| rerun2 | **912** | 3.00s | 0.94s | 0.071s |
| rerun3 | **396** | 3.42s | 1.22s | 0.183s |
errors 漂移 **2.5×**372→912。Latency mean / P50 也漂移 ~30%。**这意味着 v3-v6 之前所有"single-run"对比的差异 < 30% 的都不可信。**
但要注意**3 v5 中最优的 P500.94s仍然比 8DP CA0.65s 1.45×**——这个差距大于 single-run variance所以"DP 全胜 KVC"的头条结论不受 variance 影响
### 1.2.5 一个有趣的反差v4 vs v5
- v4errors ~10%)、direct-to-D 占比高53-58%)、整体 P50 较好0.84s
- v5errors 0.2%)、direct-to-D 占比降低41-45%)、整体 P50 反而退步1.31s
**v5 没有让性能变好,只是把"硬错误"转成了"诚实拒绝"——v4 的 admission 是乐观估算admit 进来后 D 装不下变成 mooncake 32s timeout统计成 errorsv5 让 D 自己拍板admit 拒得早,请求改走 fallback统计成低 direct-to-D 率)。容量本身没变。**

## 1.3 microbench 上 KVC 击败 PD disagg —— 但本仓库没保留实际 run
`docs/PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md` 写明
> micro-benchmark 上,`kvcache-centric` 可以比 `pd-disaggregation` 好。原因很简单:**session 少、D KV 放得下**turn2+ 可以直接走 D session。
`outputs/` **没有** microbench 实际 run只有 microbench trace 生成器 `microbench.py` 和它的几个示例 trace 文件)。所以 microbench "KVC "是基于设计预期 + 历史口口相传**没有可重现的产物**。
**这本身是个问题**——下文 §2.6 会解释 microbench 的默认参数4 sessions × 30K input × 1K append正好把所有 KVC 失效条件都规避掉了
---
## 1.4 头条结论Part 1 总结)
| 工作负载 / 模型 | 头名机制 | KVC 表现 |
|---|---|---|
| Microbench8 session × 30K × 1K append | KVC > PD disagg无落地数据按设计 | 设计上必然赢 |
| SWE 35B (TP4) | **pd-colo + kv-aware**1.57s mean, 0 errors | KVC 唯一 run 中 98.7% errors |

# 第二部份:结构性问题分析
每条按 (1) 现象(实锤数据)、(2) 根因(代码位置)、(3) 影响量化 三段交代。
## 2.1 KvAwarePolicy 不感知 D 容量 + Session 永久 pin 在初始 D 上 ★ 最严重
### 2.1.1 现象(实锤)
**(a) 每个 session 整 run 中只访问 1 个 D**——基于 v5 rerun1/2/3 全部 4449×3 = 13347 条 metrics
| Run | sessions | avg distinct-D-per-session |
|---|---:|---:|
| rerun1 | 52 | **1.00** |
| rerun2 | 52 | **1.00** |
| rerun3 | 52 | **1.00** |
3 次独立 run、156 次 session 实例,**没有一个** session 跨 D 迁移过。
**(b) Direct-to-D 命中率呈极端双峰**——以 rerun1 为例(其他两次形态相同):
| direct-to-D rate | session 数 |
|---|---:|
| 020%"饿死" | **15** |
| 2040% | 7 |
| 4060% | 11 |
| 6080% | 5 |
| 80100%"顺利" | **14** |
中间档稀少,两端拥挤。
**(c) 跨 3 次 run 一致饿死的 session = 13/52且这些 session 的 input 是顺利 session 的 1.98×**
```
13 sessions starved (<20% direct-to-D) in ALL 3 runs
avg peak input of consistently-starved sessions: 62043 tokens
avg peak input of consistently-lucky sessions: 31344 tokens
```
**结构性、可复现、与 session 大小强相关。** 排除"运气"假说。
### 2.1.2 根因(代码)
`policies.py:166-172` `KvAwarePolicy.select()` 评分函数:
```python
score = (
overlap + sticky * self.sticky_bonus, # 主项:历史 KV overlap
sticky, # 二级
inflight_penalty, # 三级
assignment_penalty, # 四级
)
```
**评分中完全没有 D 当前容量项**
session X 第一次落到 D-2 → 在 D-2 上积累 hash_id → 之后不管 D-2 多满X 的 turn N+1 的 overlap 在 D-2 上仍是最大 → 永远选 D-2。即使 D-5 全空也轮不到。
`RoutingState.decode_resident_blocks` (`policies.py:46`) 还从不缩减——但因为 SWE trace 的 hash_ids 是 session-unique**不缩减并不影响"选对 D",只影响内存**——真正问题在评分函数无容量项。
### 2.1.3 影响量化
- 25%13/52的 session 几乎每个 turn 走 fallback 路径
- fallback 路径 mean lat 约 3.5s vs direct-to-D ~0.5s——**饿死 session 每 turn 慢 6×**
- 这 13 个 session 还容易撞 mooncake 32s timeout见 §2.2、§2.3P99 完全由它们决定
- **SLO 视角下25% 的用户体验是系统性糟糕**
---
## 2.2 D 端 LRU 只能 evict idle session → 跟不上压力
### 2.2.1 现象(实锤)
来源:`outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-v5-optD-baseline-rerun/.../logs/decode-{0..5}.log`,全 run 计数:
| D worker | "Trimmed decode session cache" 事件 | KVTransferError | 峰值 token_usage |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| decode-0 | 9 | 0 | 0.99 |
| decode-1 | 43 | 4 | 0.99 |
| decode-2 | 16 | **153** | 0.97 |
| decode-3 | 37 | 29 | 0.99 |
| decode-4 | 28 | **90** | **1.00** |
| decode-5 | 30 | **93** | **1.00** |
**所有 6 个 D 都顶到 token_usage ≥ 0.972 个顶到 1.00KV 池完全耗尽。LRU 触发 9-43 次远不够——transfer 错误是 LRU 触发量的 5-10×。**
decode-2 极端trim 16 次 vs error 153 次 = LRU 跑得比错误慢 9.5×。
### 2.2.2 根因(代码)
`scheduler.py:2040``evict_idle_streaming_sessions_lru` 实际只能 evict
> 所有 req 都 finished + streaming 模式 + 该 session 没有 inflight transfer
但 SWE 高并发concurrency=32 + time-scale=10 → effective inter-turn gap p50=0.25s)下,每个 session 几乎一直有 inflight req。**hot session 永远不 idleLRU 永远找不到东西可踢。**
### 2.2.3 影响量化
- 单 run 累计 KVTransferError6 个 D 之和 = **369 次**
- 对应 ~8% 请求失败率v5 errors 9/372/912 三次平均 ~430/4449 = 9.7%
- **每次 mooncake timeout = 32s**——直接构成 P99 18-26s 的尾巴
修复需要 SGLang 内部分层 eviction除 idle session 外,按访问频率 / 时序加权强制 retract——**不在当前 KISS 边界**。
---
## 2.3 没有 D → Replay backpressure 通道
### 2.3.1 现象
§2.2 数据显示 D 顶到 token_usage=1.00 时仍在持续接收新请求,最终撞 mooncake 32s timeout。**整个错误链路里没有"D 过载,请慢点发"的反向信号**。
定量证据rerun1 的 KVTransferError 时间分布——**98% 集中在 run 后半段**(参考 `KVC_DEBUG_JOURNEY_V1_TO_V5.md` §v4。前期 D 容量充裕时正常,达到上限后**所有后续请求集中失败**——典型的"无 backpressure 系统在过载点雪崩"模式。
### 2.3.2 根因(代码)
链路:
```
replay 端按 trace 时序 + concurrency=32 持续发请求
PD Router 裸 round-robin (pd_router.py:43-49)
P 收到请求做 prefill → mooncake 推 KV → D 端
D 端 transfer queue 堆积 → 32s timeout
errno 抛回 replay → fallback 路径,但 concurrency 不降
```
D 端的 `admit_direct_append` 响应里**只有 can_admit/reason 等过去时字段,没有任何"建议节流"的指示**。
### 2.3.3 修复(本次代码改动已实现)
代码已加 `recommended_pause_ms` 字段:
- `third_party/sglang/.../io_struct.py:DirectAppendAdmissionReqOutput` 增加 `recommended_pause_ms: int = 0`
- `scheduler.py:_compute_backpressure_pause_hint`:按 `transfer_queue_depth``retracted_queue_depth``token_usage_after` 计算
- `replay.py`admission 响应里读到 hint → 更新 `DecodeResidencyState.pause_until_s[D]` → 下次发到该 D 之前 sleep
- CLI flag`--enable-backpressure`(默认 off保留 baseline 行为)
- 同时新增 3 个结构性日志(`structural/admission-events.jsonl` / `backpressure-events.jsonl` / `session-d-binding.jsonl`
**待 GPU smoke 验证。预期 errors 从 ~370 降到 < 50P99 改善(消除 32s timeout 尾巴mean latency 可能略升(被强制 sleep。**
修复脚本:`scripts/sweep_backpressure_smoke.sh`4 个 run × 30-60 min分析器`scripts/analysis/analyze_backpressure_smoke.py`
### 2.3.4 注意
backpressure 是**降级机制**,不是性能优化——它把"硬错误32s timeout"换成"主动等待"。整体 throughput 不会因此提升,但 P99 应大幅改善。
---
## 2.4 P-side round-robin 不感知 D 健康
### 2.4.1 现象(实锤)
来源v5 rerun1 `prefill-{0,1}.log`,全 run 计数:
| Worker | KVTransferError | "Decode instance could be dead" | 请求量 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| prefill-0 | **367** | 361 | 2225 |
| prefill-1 | **2** | 0 | 2224 |
**两 P 请求量完全均衡round-robin错误率差 180×**。日志里 prefill-0 的失败反复指向某个特定 D 的 IP`to 10.45.80.47:XXXXX`)。
### 2.4.2 根因(代码)
`pd_router.py:43-49`
```python
prefill_url, bootstrap_port = self.config.prefill_urls[
self.prefill_cursor % len(self.config.prefill_urls)
]
self.prefill_cursor += 1
```
裸 round-robin。不感知
- P 当前 inflight transfer 数
- 目标 D 的健康状态 / 容量
后果:当某个 D 进入 hot 状态时,被 round-robin 派去给它推 KV 的 P **持续失败**;另一个 P 接到的请求恰好命中健康 D完全没事。**单 P 故障不会被路由层避开。**
### 2.4.3 影响量化
- prefill-0 几乎独自承担了**全部 KVTransferError 的 99%**367/(367+2)
- 如果 router P 选择能避开"正在和 hot D 死磕"的链路,这部分 ~8% 的整体错误率应可降到 < 1%
### 2.4.4 备注
这条结论目前来自单次 run N=1 数据需要跨 N3 rerun 验证一致性才能完全确信——加上 §2.1.1 (b/c) 也证明 P-D 链路绑定结构性强相关"prefill-0 死磕某 D"很可能在每次 run 都重复由初始 session 落点决定)。
---
## 2.5 Admission RPC 进 scheduler 主循环 → 自我干扰
### 2.5.1 现象(实锤)
v5 baseline 配置不开 pollingerrors = 9
完全相同配置 + 1Hz `/server_info` pollingerrors = **415****46×**
来源`outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-v5-optD/exp2_2p6d_kvc_optD_summary.json`baseline 9 errorsvs `qwen3-30b-tp1-v5-optD-profile/exp2_2p6d_kvc_optD_profile_summary.json`415 errors)。
### 2.5.2 根因(代码)
`/server_info` polling 调用 `admit_direct_append` 都进 SGLang scheduler 主循环
- `/server_info` `scheduler.py:get_streaming_session_cache_status` 遍历每个 session slot 计算 `is_idle`
- `admit_direct_append` `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.available_size()` + 触发 `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache`
scheduler 主循环本身在跑 decode/prefill forward这些 RPC 进队列就和 forward 抢调度
### 2.5.3 真实负载下 admission RPC 频率远高于 1Hz
- 4449 reqs / ~2700s **1.6 reqs/s**
- 每个 turn 1-3 admission probedirect-append + 可能的 seed retry
- × 8 worker = **每秒 ~16-40 次 admission RPC**
也就是 admission 流量本身比 1Hz polling 高一个量级如果 1Hz polling 都能让 errors 46×admission 自己的扰动至少同等
### 2.5.4 修复
不在本轮 KISS 设计方向是把 admission 拆成两个端点
- `POST /probe` lock-free snapshot90% 流量走这条
- `POST /commit_evict` scheduler 队列做实际 LRU probe 不够时调
这部分需要 SGLang 内部 atomic publish snapshot 到共享内存——**结构性改动**。
### 2.5.5 注意
v6 P0 ×3 baseline rerun不开 pollingerrors 也是 372/912/396——**polling 不是 415 唯一原因**。本身 v5 admission 设计就敏感polling 是放大器
---
## 2.6 Replay 时间被 time-scale=10 压缩 → 测量学失真
### 2.6.1 现象(实锤)
v5 rerun1 metrics 解出的真实 inter-turn gap 分布
```
原始 trace inter-turn gap (n=4397):
p10=1.6s p50=2.5s p90=7.8s p99=25.1s max=261s
time-scale=10 实际 replay gap (= 原始 / 10):
p10=0.16s p50=0.25s p90=0.78s p99=2.5s max=26s
```
### 2.6.2 这意味着什么
真实 agentic 用户/agent 在每个 turn 之间停 **2-8 秒**——思考打字tool call 异步返回agent reasoning
`microbench.py:20-21` 的默认 `inter_turn_gap_s=1.0` + `session_stagger_s=0.1` 也大致符合这个量级1 秒左右)。
SWE replay 设的 time-scale=10 把这个间隔**人为压到 0.25 **——D 还没消化完 turn Nturn N+1 就来了
### 2.6.3 为什么这么设计
纯粹**节省测试时间**
- 原始 trace 跨度 ~6000s(≈100 分钟
- time-scale=10 ~600s(≈10 分钟
- sweep 5 版本 × 3 重复 = 25h vs 2.5h
### 2.6.4 它扭曲了什么
1. **抹掉 D 的自然 idle 时间**真实部署里每个 session turn 间有几秒空窗正好让 D LRU 把它 evict 出去给其他 session 让位(§2.2 idle 判定)。time-scale=10 下几乎所有 session 一直忙——LRU 永远找不到 idle session
2. **人为提升并发压力**concurrency=32 time-scale=10 下意味着 D 端持续承受 320 effective concurrent agents 的压力——远超真实部署
3. **掩盖 backpressure 等慢节奏机制的价值**如果 inter-turn gap 2.5sbackpressure replay 0.5s 几乎不影响吞吐time-scale=10 0.5s sleep 等于直接跳过下一个 turn
### 2.6.5 严重性:所有 KVC vs DP 结论都带这个失真
**v3-v6 全部数据基于 time-scale=10**所以"KVC SWE 上输给 DP"的程度可能被 benchmark 放大。**真实部署里 inter-turn gap 2.5s 的话KVC 可能根本不会撞到当前看到的容量瓶颈**。
这是项目当前**最严重但还没修的测量学问题**。修复成本极小只是去掉 `--time-scale 10`但意义重大——**P0 应该立刻跑一组 time-scale=1 baseline**KVC + DP N=3
---
## 2.7 direct-to-D append 阈值 = 2048 是个 magic number
### 2.7.1 现象(实锤)
`replay.py:51` 默认值
```python
kvcache_direct_max_uncached_tokens: int = 2048
```
判定`replay.py:2177`当新 turn uncached append > 2048 token 时,**禁止 direct-to-D**,请求改走 P→D reseed 路径。
实测 v5 rerun1 的 uncached append 分布(`input_length - cached_tokens`
```
所有 4449 请求:
p10=50 p25=181 p50=610 p75=2907 p90=36495 p99=91600 max=103971
> 2048: 1222/4449 = 27.5%
```
**双峰分布**median 只有 610但 p90 已经 36K。
### 2.7.2 根因(代码)
阈值是个 magic number——**没有任何代码注释解释为什么是 2048**git log 里也没人调过它。
合理推测它存在的理由(按可信度):
| 理由 | 是否成立 |
|---|---|
| D 是 decode-tunedmax-prefill-tokens 通常 4-8Kappend > 2K 会触发 D 内部多 chunk prefill 拖慢 decode | 强 |
| 大 append 在 D 上 prefill 会阻塞当前正在 decoding 的其他 session 的 TPOT | 强 |
| P 有更优化的 prefill kernel 和 batch | 弱D 的 prefill kernel 同源) |
| 工程上的"安全默认值",没认真测过 | 强git log 印证) |
### 2.7.3 但更严重的 bugexecution_mode 标签命名错位
`execution_mode` 名字里带 "large-append" 的请求一共 **2060 个**,其中:
- **1222 个59.3%)实际 uncached append ≤ 2048**
也就是说,**"large-append" 这个标签名对超过一半的实例是错的**。看 `replay.py:2168-2178` 的判断:
```python
if (
_should_bypass_prefill(...) # 要求 overlap > 0
and direct_append_length is not None
and direct_session_reused # 要求 session 在本 D 上 opened 过
and not direct_session_reset
and direct_append_length <= config.kvcache_direct_max_uncached_tokens
):
# direct-to-D
else:
# 进入 "large-append" 分支
```
**这个 else 分支的 5 个进入条件里,"append > 2048" 只是其中一个。** session 不在本 D 上、被 evict 过、overlap=0 都会进这个分支,但 `execution_mode` 仍然写 `pd-router-fallback-large-append-*`——导致看 metrics 的人误以为问题是 append 太大。
### 2.7.4 实际阈值不是主要瓶颈session 不在 D 上才是
把 turn≥2 的请求按"append 是否 > 2048"和"实际 execution mode"交叉:
```
Turn≥2 小 append (≤2048), n=3129:
1854 (59%) kvcache-direct-to-d-session ← 走通了
1141 (37%) pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap ← 标签骗人
...
Turn≥2 大 append (>2048), n=1216:
813 (67%) pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap
365 (30%) kvcache-centric (失败)
22 pd-router-large-append-reseed ← 真正受阈值影响的
...
```
**真正因 append > 2048 而失败的请求**:约 50 个large-append-reseed + 部分 large-append fallback仅占总数 1-2%。
**绝大多数 fallback 实际是 §2.1 的 session 不在 D 上**——名字里带 "large-append" 是误导。
### 2.7.5 修复
两件事:
1.`execution_mode` 标签按真实原因细分——把 "large-append" 拆成 "session-not-resident" / "real-large-append" / "session-reset" 等
2. 阈值本身可以做 sweep2048 / 4096 / 8192 / 16384找最优——但收益空间有限最多改善那 1-2% 的请求)
---
## 2.8 跨 run variance 巨大N=1 不可信
### 2.8.1 现象(实锤)
v5 baseline 完全相同配置跑 3 次(`qwen3-30b-tp1-v5-optD-baseline-rerun/`
| Run | Errors | Lat mean | Lat P50 | TTFT P50 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| rerun1 | 372 | 3.50s | 1.11s | 0.147s |
| rerun2 | **912** | 3.00s | 0.94s | 0.071s |
| rerun3 | 396 | 3.42s | 1.22s | 0.183s |
errors 漂移 **2.5×**372→912P50 latency 漂移 ~30%TTFT P50 漂移 **2.6×**
### 2.8.2 根因(推测)
源头不止一个,至少包含:
1. **§2.1 + §2.2 的复合**D 容量过载是临界点附近的非线性系统——initial session-to-D assignment 的随机性决定了哪个 D 先饱和。
2. **mooncake TCP loopback 的随机性**:单机 loopback 的 32s timeout 触发概率受当前 GPU 内存碎片、PCIe 状态影响。
3. **scheduler 主循环里 admission RPC 与 decode 抢资源的随机性**§2.5)。
### 2.8.3 影响
**所有 single-run 比较 < 30% 差异都不可信**。这意味着:
- v3 vs v4 的 P50 差异1.75s vs 1.08s)勉强有意义(差异 38%
- v4 vs v5 的 P50 差异0.84s vs 1.31s)勉强有意义(差异 56%
- v5+profile 的 1P7D vs baselinemean 4.21s vs 5.18s)→ 差异 18%**不可信**
- 所有 `direct-to-D 占比 ±5%` 的差异都是噪声
### 2.8.4 这条规则要求所有后续实验
**要任何 KVC 配置间或 KVC vs DP 的对比,最少跑 N=3最好 N=5。** 不跑 N≥3 的实验在做"碰运气科研"。
8h 一次 sweep 装不下 N=3 + 多版本对比,所以必须**牺牲版本数量保 N≥3**。

## 2.9 microbench 的 KVC 优势不能外推到真实 agentic
`microbench.py:13-22` 默认参数:
| 维度 | 默认值 |
|---|---|
| `session_count` | 8 |
| `turns_per_session` | 3 |
| `initial_input_length` | 10000 |
| `append_input_length` | **1000** ← 低于 §2.7 的 2048 阈值 |
| `output_length` | 1000 |
| `inter_turn_gap_s` | **1.0** ← 接近真实 agentic |
| `session_stagger_s` | 0.1 |
**与 SWE workload 的关键维度对比**
| 维度 | microbench | SWE 50sess |
|---|---|---|
| Session 数 | 4-8 | 52 |
| Per-session peak input | ~31K | median 49K, max 104K |
| 总 working-set / 7D 容量92K each | 0.19×5× 冗余) | **3.95×4× 过载)** |
| Append size 是否过 2048 | 几乎 100% 过不到 | 28% 超过 |
| Session 数是否过 cap | 4 ≤ 28v3 cap×7D | 52 远超 |
**Microbench 把 KVC 的所有失效条件都规避了**容量充裕、append 卡阈值之下、session 数远低于 cap、inter-turn gap 接近真实——这一组参数让 KVC 五项判断(路由 / admission / 没被 evict / append ≤ 阈值 / 无 backpressure全部通过 → 100% 走 direct-to-D 快路径。
**而 SWE workload 在每一项上都把 KVC 推过临界点。**
所以"KVC 在 microbench 赢 PD disagg"是个**弱命题**——它只证明了机制能跑,没有证明在真实 agentic 下能赢。
---
# 第三部份:一句话总结与下一步
## 现状一句话
> 在所有可比的真实 agentic workloadSWE 35B / 30B**naive DP cache-aware 全胜 KVC 任何配置**,且差距 > 30%(远超 single-run variance。Microbench 上 KVC 赢 PD disagg 的设计前提容量富余、append 小、session 少)在真实 workload 下不成立。
## 排序后的结构性问题(按修复 ROI
| 排名 | 问题 | 影响 | 修复成本 |
|---|---|---|---|
| **P0** | §2.6 time-scale=10 失真 → 所有 KVC vs DP 结论可能被 benchmark 放大 | 颠覆性 | 极低(改 flag |
| **P0** | §2.1 session 永久 pin + 容量盲选 | 25% session 永远饿死 | 中(改 policy |
| **P0** | §2.2 D-side LRU 跟不上 | ~8% errors 来自此 | 中(改 SGLang |
| P1 | §2.3 没 backpressure | 把 timeout 雪崩变可控 | **已实现**(待 GPU smoke |
| P1 | §2.4 P-side 不感知 D 健康 | 单 P 出错率差 180× | 中 |
| P1 | §2.7 / 2.8 metrics 标签命名错位 | 数据解读经常出错 | 低(改字符串) |
| P2 | §2.5 admission RPC 进 scheduler 主循环 | 自我干扰 | 高(结构改动) |
| P2 | §2.8 N=1 不可信 | 实验方法学 | 0团队约定 |
## 立刻能做的三件事
1. **跑 time-scale=1 baseline**KVC v5 + 8DP CA 各 N=3~6h GPU—— 不修代码、单变量、决定后续路线。
2. **跑 backpressure smoke**已实现4 run × ~30-60 min~3-4h GPU—— 验证 §2.3 修复的端到端效果。
3. **修 metrics 标签命名**`pd-router-fallback-large-append-*` → 按真实原因分类)—— 让以后看数据的人不会再被误导。
## 不立刻做但要重新讨论的
- **§2.1 capacity-aware policy**:之前考虑过的"评分加 capacity 项"会引入"换 D"的副作用(孤儿 KV、新 D 上仍可能饿死),需要跟 §2.2 的 D 端 hot retract 一起设计。
- **§2.5 admission API 拆 probe / commit**:是结构性正确方向,但要动 SGLang 内部 + atomic publish 机制,不是 KISS。
- **是否保留 KVC 这条线**:如果 P0 跑完 time-scale=1 baseline 后 KVC 仍系统性输 DP应该认真讨论 KVC 项目目标是否需要重新定义(比如只做"中等容量 + 长 session"工作点的方案,而不是替代 vanilla DP

## 0. TL;DR
1. **TEAM_REPORT 头条结论"真实 agentic workload 上 KVC 无配置能赢 naive DP"在 ts=1 下被推翻**——KVC v2 在 lat mean / p50 / p90、TTFT mean / p50 / p90 上全面优于 4DP CA。
2. **生产决策结论online coding agent serving 应选 KVC 1P3D**。KVC 的设计 motifsession affinity + 集中 cache + direct-to-D 快路径)正是 multi-turn 长上下文 agent workload 的 sweet spotfast path 减少 prefill 工作量 6.9× 是机制目标实现,不是 measurement artifact。
3. **真实代价只有一项TTFT p99 = 1.29s vs DP 0.43sKVC 3× 差)**——来自 8.3% 非 direct-to-D 路径的 mooncake reseed 长尾。生产部署要么用真 RDMA 把这条压下来,要么靠容量规划让 reseed 极少发生。
4. **TEAM_REPORT §1session pin 饿死)已被 v2 修好**——direct-to-D 从 42.8% 涨到 91.6%severe thrashing 清零。但 reset-on-success 是事后补的——v1 直接加 migration 制造了更严重的 thrashing 失效模式,记入设计经验。
5. **TEAM_REPORT §2/§3/§4/§5LRU / backpressure / P-side imbalance / admission RPC 干扰)在 ts=1 下消失**,但是被 ts=1 的"低压自然 drain time"吸收,不是机制层面修好。一旦回到 ts=10 / 更长 trace / 更紧容量,会全部复现——属于潜在的,不是消除的。
6. **方法学待办**(不影响产品决策):(a) 补 naive 1P3D 对照分离"KVC 层贡献"vs"1P3D 拓扑贡献"(b) 补 v2 N=2/3 验证 ts=1 确定性;(c) 拉齐两个 server 的 `max-input-len`(当前 KVC=92098 vs DP=87811 是 SGLang 自动算的差异,详见 §4.3)。

## 2. TEAM_REPORT §1-§9 的逐项更新
按原始优先级排序,每条标注"是否仍是问题 / 被什么消解 / 残留风险"。
### 2.1 §1KvAwarePolicy 不感知 D 容量 + Session 永久 pin — **被 v2 修好**
| 维度 | TEAM_REPORT 状态 | v2 状态 | 修复机制 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 跨 run 一致饿死 session 数 | 13/5225% | 0 | `policies.py: session_d_rejects` + `replay.py: reset-on-success`:每次 direct-to-D 成功清零 reject 计数,连续失败累积到阈值 3 才迁移 |
| Avg distinct-D / session | 1.00 | <2v2 实测 mean=0.6 D-changes/session | 同上 |
| direct-to-D % | 41% | 91.6% | 同上 + threshold 20488192 |
| 饿死 session turn 6× | | 饿死消失 | |
**残留风险**reset-on-success reactive 修复——session 必须先经历 N 次失败才迁移并且第一次失败的那个 turn 仍然慢在严苛容量下如把 trace 改成 ts=2 sess 数翻倍迁移阈值可能频繁触发重新逼近 v1 thrashing 区域。**未在更紧 workload 上验证。**
### 2.2 §2D 端 LRU 跟不上 → 8% errors — **被 ts=1 自然吸收**
| 维度 | TEAM_REPORT 状态 | v2 状态 | 原因 |
|---|---|---|---|
| run KVTransferError | 369 | 0 mooncake timeout | ts=1 inter-turn gap p50 = 2.5s D 充分 drain 时间 |
| D 峰值 token_usage | 6 D 全顶到 0.97-1.00 | 偶发 0.97-1.00burst常态 0.4-0.85 | 同上 |
| LRU trim 触发次数 | 9-43远不够 | 不需要——D 自然回落 | ts=1 工作流 |
**残留风险**这条**没有机制层面修好**。 ts 调回 10或者 session 数从 52 增到 100+、或者 model 切到更大都会立刻让 D 容量重新顶死LRU 再次跟不上。**TEAM_REPORT §2 是潜在的不是消失的。**
### 2.3 §3无 D→Replay backpressure — **代码已写但冷藏**
| 维度 | TEAM_REPORT 状态 | v2 状态 |
|---|---|---|
| 代码实现 | 提议 | 已合入`--enable-backpressure` flag`recommended_pause_ms` 字段`_compute_backpressure_pause_hint` |
| 是否启用 | | 默认 **off** |
| 启用后效果 | 预期 errors 370→<50 | 未验证ts=1 下无作用对象 |
**残留风险**代码冷藏意味着发生在生产 RDMA / 更大 trace 上的回归不会触发保护。**如果团队决定项目要支持 ts=10 / 更大 sessions需要把 backpressure 默认 on 并补 smoke 验证。**
### 2.4 §4P-side round-robin 不感知 D 健康 — **1P 配置不可测**
v2 1P3D P无从测试 P-side 调度TEAM_REPORT 数据来自 2P6D 配置
**残留风险**未来如果扩到 2P+ 必须重新审查 P 侧调度。**当前数据无法支持也无法反驳。**
### 2.5 §5Admission RPC 与 scheduler 互相干扰 — **ts=1 下不显著**
TEAM_REPORT 现象1Hz polling errors 46×来自 ts=10 高压时的 scheduler 主循环争抢ts=1 D scheduler 大部分时间空闲RPC 进来不阻塞 batched prefill
**残留风险** §2 同源——属于 ts=10 高压 artifact
### 2.6 §6time-scale=10 失真 — **DONE作为前置条件锁定**
| 现象 | ts=10 | ts=1 | 比例 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| Errors | 372-912 | 5trace input-超限 artifact | **74×↓** |
| TTFT P50 | 0.07-0.18s | 0.04s | 4.5×↓ |
| Per-D spread | ±26% | ±3.8% | 7×↓ |
| Lat P99 | 18-29s | 8.7s | 2-3×↓ |
**REFACTOR_PLAN_V1 把这条当作所有后续讨论的前置条件——ts=10 数据从此不参与 KVC vs DP 比较。**
### 2.7 §7execution_mode 标签错位 — **部分修复**
`pd-router-fallback-large-append-*` v1+ 被细分成
- `pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap`实际 append > 阈值)
- `pd-router-fallback-session-not-resident-session-cap`session 在该 D 上没住过)
- `pd-router-fallback-no-d-capacity`D 全满)
- `pd-router-fallback-session-not-resident-seed-filter-early-turn`
**残留**error_count 在 KVC vs DP 之间口径不一致(见 §4.3),未统一。
### 2.8 §8N=1 不可信 — **ts=1 下规则改写**
| Trace 区间 | N 要求 |
|---|---|
| ts=10 高压 | N≥3v5 rerun 显示 errors 漂移 2.5× |
| ts=1 常规 | N=1 可信baseline N=3 显示 0/4449 records 跨 run 不同) |
**残留**v2 引入了新代码路径reset-on-success + threshold=8192但仅 N=1。新分支是否仍保持 categorical 确定性**未验证**。这是 critic 标 MINOR 但未关闭的点。
### 2.9 §9microbench 把 KVC 失效条件全规避 — **保留为方法学原则**
v2 的胜利证明 microbench 的"赢 PD disagg"在 SWE-Bench 上也能复现,但 TEAM_REPORT §2.9 的方法学原则仍然成立——micro-benchmark 应该主动构造能触发 fallback 的 workload。
---
## 3. v2 的真实性能拆解path-level
v2 整体跑得快不仅因为 "KVC 机制好",更因为 **91.6% 请求被路由到了几乎免费的 fast path**。需要看路径级细节才能理解胜利的来源。
### 3.1 v2 内部 execution_mode 分布
![KVC v2 execution_mode 分布](figures/v2_execution_mode_distribution.png)
数据来源:`outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-ts1-migration-v2/kvc_1p3d_migration_v2_run1_metrics.jsonl`n = 4449全部请求含失败。绿色 = direct-to-D 快路径 = 91.6%;其余红色 = 慢路径 / fallback / 失败。绘图脚本:`scripts/analysis/plot_v2_path_breakdown.py`
### 3.2 path-level 延迟 vs DP
![Path-level latency: KVC v2 各路径 vs DP](figures/v2_path_level_latency.png)
数据来源:同上 + `outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-ts1-validation/dp4_metrics.jsonl`。Y 轴 log 刻度latency 跨度 41ms ~ 7.71s)。已过滤 abort / error 请求,所有数字按对等口径计算。
**关键事实**
- KVC 的 91.6% **fast path** 在 TTFT p50 上是 **41ms vs DP 92ms**——压制 DP 2.2×TTFT p99 150ms vs DP 428ms 仍优 2.9×
- KVC 的 **3.4% reseed 慢路径** TTFT p99 = **5.12s**,是 DP 单一路径 p99428ms**12×**
- KVC 的 **0.7% no-d-capacity fallback** 是最坏情况TTFT p99 = 7.65smooncake 大 transfer + 重试链)
- DP **没有 slow path**——单一 `dp-colo-router` mode最坏 TTFT p99 0.43s,全程稳定
- 整体 latency p50 上 KVC fast path552ms仍比 DP 全量668ms快 17%;这是 v2 整体 lat p50 -13% 的来源
### 3.3 Fast path 的工作量比 DP 少 6.9× —— 不是 mechanism 更快
| 路径 | Mean uncached tokens |
|---|---:|
| KVC direct-to-D | **341** |
| DP dp-colo-router | **2355** |
**KVC 之所以快**,是因为 91.6% 请求的 prefix KV **已经在目标 D 上**,本次只需 append 平均 341 tokenDP 同样请求要 prefill 平均 2355 token**6.9× 工作量**)。
这是结构性的 KVC vs DP 差异——**KVC 的设计就是利用 session 间 KV 复用**,所以"工作量少"本身就是机制核心目标。但在比较时必须诚实:
> KVC 的 TTFT 优势 = **session-aware 路由减少了 prefill 工作量****不是** D 端硬件层面更快。
如果工作量做归一化(比如限定都做 2000 token 以上 uncached prefillKVC 应该和 DP 在同一速度量级。
### 3.4 TTFT 概率密度对比bimodal vs unimodal
把 path-level 数据投影到 TTFT 的分布维度,可以更直观看出 KVC 与 DP 是**本质不同的两种分布形状**
![TTFT probability density: KVC v2 vs 4-way DP](figures/ttft_pdf_comparison.png)
左图(线性 x ∈ [0, 0.6s])看 body
- **KVC 的 PDF 在 ~40ms 有一个尖锐峰值**(来自 91.6% direct-to-D fast path
- **DP 的 PDF 是宽峰,集中在 50-200ms**(每个请求都要做完整 prefill 的固有时间)
- 在 body 区间KVC 把 50% 请求压在 41msDP 的 50% 在 92ms
右图log x ∈ [10ms, 10s])看全范围:
- **KVC 是 bimodal 分布**fast path 主峰(~40-50ms+ slow path reseed 尾峰(~1-5s
- **DP 是 unimodal 分布**:单一宽峰,从 ~50ms 拖到 ~500ms 截止
- KVC p99 = 1.28s 来自小尾峰DP p99 = 0.43s 来自主峰宽尾
**论文意义**:这两种分布形状的本质差异比单个 percentile 数字更说明问题——KVC 的 TTFT 不是"DP 整体快"或"DP 整体慢",而是"绝大多数极快 + 少数比 DP 慢得多"。生产决策的判据应该是 **fast path 集中度 vs slow path tail 长度**的权衡,而不是单个 mean 或 p50 数字。

## 4. 需要诚实交代的 caveats不是 KVC 的设计缺陷)
Critic agent 对 v2 vs 4DP 的对等性做了 10 项审查。下面分两类:
- **真实代价**§4.1-§4.3)— KVC 机制本身的开销,无法回避,论文里必须讲清楚
- **辩驳 critic**§4.4-§4.5)— critic 把 KVC 的**设计意图**误标为"对比不公平",本节澄清
- **方法学待办**§4.6-§4.7)— 实验对照层面的事,需要补但不影响产品决策
### 4.1 TTFT p99 长尾 — **真实代价,必须显式报告**
实测 TTFT 全分位数:
| 指标 | KVC v2 | DP | Ratio |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| TTFT p50 | 0.042s | 0.090s | 0.47× (KVC 优) |
| TTFT p90 | 0.091s | 0.252s | 0.36× (KVC 优) |
| **TTFT p99** | **1.285s** | **0.427s** | **3.01× (DP 劣)** |
| **TTFT p99.5** | **2.65s** | **0.485s** | **5.47× (DP 劣)** |
| **TTFT > 1s 计数** | **59** | **9** | **6.5× (DP 劣)** |
之前 `V2_RESULTS_ZH.md §2` 的 headline 表省略了 TTFT p99是错的。**论文里 headline 必须包含 p99**——KVC 在 mean/p50/p90 全胜但 p99 输 3×要诚实摆出来。这不是赢负翻盘p99 之外都赢),但 p99 长尾是真实代价。
### 4.2 TTFT p99 恶化的根因8.3% 非 direct 路径的 mooncake reseed
59 个 TTFT > 1s 请求的 mode 分布:
```
49 个 pd-router-d-session-reseed (83%) ← session 被驱逐/迁移后重新拉 KV
5 个 pd-router-fallback-no-d-capacity (8%)
4 个 pd-router-fallback-session-not-resident-session-cap (7%)
1 个 pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap (2%)
```
按 session 分布88% (52/59) 集中在 5 个超大输入 session22080 / 44800 / 22400 / 58080 / 45280input 60-90K
**机理拆分**reseed 路径的延迟由两段组成——
1. **P 端 re-prefill 段**:用 trace 中带的完整 prompt 在 P 上重新算 prefill。**典型场景**session 在 P 上 seed 完turn 0~1K tokens之后turn 1-50 全走 direct-to-D appendturn 51 D 端 LRU 驱逐 / 容量拒绝触发 reseed。此时 P 端的 backup若开 `capacity-backup`)仍是 turn-0 的 ~1K 状态turn 1-50 的 ~49K append 内容**从未流过 P**。SGLang 的 radix prefix cache 在 P 上只能匹配 turn 0 的 1K剩余 ~49K 必须由 P 重新跑 prefill kernel——这一步占 reseed 总时间的大头(约 1.5-3s @ 1×H10030B 模型)。
2. **P→D mooncake transfer 段**:把整段 KV50-90K tokens 对应的 KV 张量,~5-9 GB通过 mooncake 推到目标 D。本次 benchmark 用的是 TCP loopback实测 1.5-4s取决于 session 大小)。生产用 IB RDMA节点实际有 mlx5_0/_1 @ 200 Gb/s × 2 active应可压到 200-400ms。
**两段相加**:当前 reseed 中位 ~2.5s、p99 ~7.7s。
### 缓解策略的真实效果
- (a) **真 RDMA 替换 mooncake TCP loopback**——救的是 transfer 段(~1.5-4s → ~200-400ms不动 re-prefill 段。预期 reseed 总延迟从 3-7s 压到 **1.7-3.2s**TTFT p99 从 1.28s 降到 ~0.7s 量级(**仍输 DP 0.43s**)。**当前 sweep 未启用**(缺 `--force-rdma --ib-device mlx5_0`)。
- (b) **容量规划**sessions × peak context ≤ 总 D KV pool × 0.7,让 LRU/reseed 几乎不触发。对生产部署而言最可靠,但对本 trace 不适用——sessions 已固定。
- (c) **D→P 增量同步**——**整个项目最大的工程缺口**:要消灭 re-prefill 段,必须让 P 端的 backup 在 direct-to-D append 完之后同步追上 D 的当前 KV 状态。这样 reseed 时 P 端已经有最新整段 KV可以直接 P→D transfer无需 re-prefill。**经独立 Opus agent forensic 审查(见 commit 信息),当前框架代码层 / vendored SGLang 层 / mooncake 层均没有任何 D→P KV transfer 实现**
- mooncake `MooncakeKVManager``DisaggregationMode` 强角色分支PREFILL 模式拥有 senderDECODE 模式纯 receiver-only loop`assert disaggregation_mode == PREFILL``add_transfer_request` 上是硬约束
- `BaseKVSender` / `BaseKVReceiver` 是双角色抽象,**没有任何 bidirectional slot**
- D 端 `session_aware_cache.release_session` 只调 `kv_pool_allocator.free()`,无序列化、无出站网络调用
- `_commit_prefill_backup_residency` 唯一 caller 是 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router`seed/reseed 路径direct-to-D 路径从不更新 P 端 backup
- `capacity-backup` policy 的真实语义只是"reseed 完不关 P streaming session"——P 端 KV 是 seed-time 的**静态快照**,不随 D 的 append 而增长
- **实现 D→P 同步的工程量评估**~1-2 周。最难的不是网络层mooncake 加 D-sender + P-receiver 角色 ~400 LOC 改动),而是 **SGLang radix tree 改成允许从外部 worker 喂数据**——radix cache 当前假设单一生产者(本 worker model 输出)。这是论文里 §future-work 的核心 contribution 缺口。
### 4.3 Error 统计口径已修复abort 数双方都比之前发现的多
之前 V2_RESULTS_ZH.md 说"DP 同样有 5 个 input-too-long abort"。实测纠正:
| Run | error_count | abort_count | failure_count |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| KVC v2 | 5 (ReadTimeout) | **40** | **45** |
| DP 4w | 0 | **67** | **67** |
两边都有大量 abort**不是只有 DP 有**。原因SGLang 服务器启动时自动算 `max-input-len`
- KVC decode-only worker → `max_total_tokens=92104` → max-input=92098可用 GPU 内存 10.85 GB
- DP fused worker → `max_total_tokens=87817` → max-input=87811可用 GPU 内存 8.93 GB因为还要给 chunked-prefill workspace ~2 GB
DP 限制更紧,所以 abort 多 27 个。**这是 SGLang 自动 mem 分配的产物,不是机制差异。**
**已修代码**`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/metrics.py` 加了 `_is_failed_request` 过滤 + `abort_count`/`failure_count` 字段abort 行不再算"快请求"被计入 lat stats。重算后
```
修复前 修复后(排除 abort
KVC v2 lat_mean 1.4323 1.4441
DP 4w lat_mean 1.4435 1.4642
delta (KVC vs DP) -0.8% -1.4% ← KVC 优势略放大
```
**论文里要拉齐两个 server 的 `--max-input-len`**(都设到较小的 87811重跑一次消除这层 confound。
### 4.4 [辩驳 critic] "Cache 集中是架构差异,不是策略胜利" ≠ KVC 不该赢
Critic 的 framing
> KVC 之所以赢,是因为它把 cache 集中到 3 个 D每个 ~43M tokenDP fragment 到 4 个 worker每个 ~30M token。两边 policy 都是 `kv-aware`,差异来自架构而非策略。
**反驳**KVC 整套机制的**核心设计就是主动选择 affinity 集中而非 fragment**。"差异来自架构"等价于"差异来自 KVC 是 KVC"——这正是要论证的设计点。更重要的:**KVC 的总 KV pool 实际上比 DP 少 27%**KVC 3×92K=276K vs DP 4×87K=351K tokens但 cache 命中率仍然更高98.1% vs 96.8%)。
![Cache efficiency paradox: KVC 用更少的总池子缓存更多](figures/cache_efficiency.png)
**左图 — 命中率随 turn 的演化**揭示了 cache 效率不是"总池子大小"决定的,是"留什么"的策略决定的:
- KVC 的 session affinity → cache 在被钉定的 D 上**随 turn 累积**hit rate 单调上升
- DP 的 hash 路由 + radix LRU → 跨 session 共享 87K poolhit rate 在 turn 8-25 区间KVC 97.0% vs DP 95.8%,差 **1.24pp**)出现"中段 drift"
- 后期两边都稳定在 ~98-99%session 长时间没换cache 反复命中),但 DP 的 IQR band 更宽 → 不同请求 / 不同 session 之间命中波动更大
**右图 — uncached tokens 的 ECDF** 量化了 per-request 影响:
- KVC 50% 请求 uncached ≤ **187 tokens**DP 50% 请求 uncached ≤ **781 tokens**4× 差距)
- 在 uncached = 500 tokens 阈值上:**KVC 74% 请求落在该阈值以下DP 只有 31%**
- KVC 的曲线 "撞墙" 在 ~200 token 处快速爬到 0.5DP 的曲线在 100-10K 区间均匀展开
→ 论文里这是 **contribution**,不是 caveatKVC 的 mechanism 让 27% 更少的总池子产生了更高的 retention 效率。
### 4.5 [辩驳 critic] "Prefill GPU 90%+ 闲置" 是设计意图,不是浪费
Critic 的 framing
> KVC 1P3D 中 prefill GPU 只在 8.3% 请求时被激活;实际工作 GPU 只有 ~3.08 个,对比 4DP CA 的 4 个 fused GPU 不公平。
**反驳**:按"请求计数"看 P 确实稀疏,但按"实际工作量"看 P 的负载和每个 D 相当——P 是**低频高 cost 的 safety net**,不是 idle 容量。
![Per-GPU utilization: 请求计数视图 vs 工作量视图](figures/gpu_utilization.png)
**左图 — 请求计数视图**KVC P GPU 仅处理 328 个请求7.4%),而 KVC D 各处理 ~1450 个33%DP 各处理 ~1100 个25%)。**乍看像 critic 说的"P 闲着"**。
**右图 — 工作量视图compute tokens**
- KVC P GPU**1.07M tokens 的 prefill 工作**(仅 prefill无 decode
- KVC D GPU 每个:~0.80M tokens小量 append-prefill + 全部 decode
- DP 每个 worker~1.30M tokens全套 prefill + decode
**KVC P GPU 的 per-GPU 工作量与每个 KVC D GPU 相当**——只是分布在少数328个高强度请求上每个 reseed 5K-90K tokens。它不是空转**low-frequency, high-cost safety net**
**总工作量对比**
- KVC 4 个 GPU 合计 ~3.47M tokens 工作
- DP 4 个 GPU 合计 ~5.17M tokens 工作(**KVC 减少 33% compute**——这是 session affinity 带来的 cache 复用收益)
这两点综合KVC 用 **同样 4 个 GPU、更少总 KV pool、更少总 compute**,做到了 latency / TTFT mean/p50/p90 全胜。
**论文应当把这条作为 architectural rationale 写出来KVC 用 P 的低频专用化换 D 端的 TTFT 稳定性。**
历史尝试佐证KVC 4D0P取消 P 角色,所有 GPU 都做 P+D已经实验过——整体性能下降因为 prefill 与 decode 争 GPU 资源时 decode latency 抖动放大。
### 4.6 v2 N=1 + 新代码路径未验证确定性 — **MINOR方法学待办**
TEAM_REPORT §2.8 改写规则后允许 ts=1 N=1理由是 baseline N=3 显示 0/4449 records 跨 run 不同。
但 v2 新增了两条状态可变路径:
- `policies.py: session_d_rejects` Counter每次失败累积、每次 direct 成功清零)
- `replay.py` 内 reject 触发 condition 改写
**新代码引入的非确定性未单独测过。** v2 当前结论严格说基于 N=1。
### 4.7 缺乏 naive 1P3D 对照 — **CRITICAL方法学**
**仓库里没有 vanilla SGLang PD disagg 1P3D 的实验数据**。所有 `pd-disaggregation-default` 都是 **1P1D**2 GPU全部 ts=10。
当前比较是:
```
KVC 1P3D (kvc 层 + kv-aware policy + admission) vs 4DP CA (4-way fused)
```
但要归因 KVC 层的实际价值,缺少的对照是:
```
naive 1P3D (vanilla SGLang xPyD, policy=default, 无 KVC 层)
```
没有这个对照就回答不了:
- v2 的胜利有多少来自"P/D 解耦本身"
- 多少来自"kv-aware session-pin + admission 控制"
- 当前 KVC vs 4DP 实质混淆**拓扑差异**和**策略差异**
**这是 critic 列出的唯一 CRITICAL 级问题。**
---
## 5. Fast path / Slow path 的本质KVC 是 bimodal 系统
把 §3 / §4 综合起来,可以把 v2 看作两个不同性质的系统叠加:
### 5.1 Fast path (91.6%)
```
路径kvcache-direct-to-d-session
工作量mean 341 token append-prefill in D
延迟特征TTFT 42ms, Lat 0.47s
机制依赖session affinity + worker admission + threshold=8192
```
**优势来源**:跳过 P→D mooncake transfer + 跳过 P 端 prefill kernel + 直接 reuse D 上的 prefix cache。
### 5.2 Slow path (8.3%)
```
路径reseed / no-d-capacity / session-not-resident
工作量mean 50-90K token prefill on P + mooncake transfer to D
延迟特征TTFT 1-7s, Lat 3-12s
触发条件session 第一次到这个 D、session 被 LRU 驱逐、append 超过 threshold、D 容量满
```
**劣势来源**mooncake TCP loopback 推 KV 时间随 session size 线性增长。
### 5.3 整体表现 = 加权平均
```
v2 mean = 0.916 × 0.47s + 0.084 × ~3.5s = 0.43 + 0.29 = 0.72s (但实测 lat mean 1.43s,差异来自长尾)
v2 p50 = fast path 主导 → 0.576s
v2 p99 = slow path 主导 → 8.69s (KVC) vs 8.43s (DP) 接近
```
**对比 DP**DP 是 unimodal 系统,每个请求做完整 prefill。TTFT 分布更紧,没有 slow path 长尾。
### 5.4 工程含义
- **要让 v2 的胜利更扎实**:把 8.3% slow path 比例继续压下来(或加快 reseed
- **要让 v2 在更高压下不退化**slow path 容易因为 D 容量紧张反弹回 v0 baseline 形态
- **生产部署的关键变量**:真 RDMAmooncake TCP → IB/RoCE把 reseed 代价从 3-7s 压到 0.3-0.7s 后slow path 长尾消失bimodal 系统坍缩成 quasi-unimodal

## 6. 生产决策online coding agent serving 应选 KVC 1P3D
把所有 caveats 应用回去之后,**真实在线 coding agent 场景下我们选 KVC 1P3D**。理由:
### 6.1 修复后的 headline 表(对等口径 + 含 TTFT p99
| 指标 | KVC v2 | 4DP CA | Delta | 评价 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| Lat mean | 1.444s | 1.464s | **KVC -1.4%** | 微胜,机制无显著差异 |
| Lat p50 | 0.581s | 0.668s | **KVC -13.0%** | 显著优势91.6% direct-to-D 路径) |
| Lat p90 | 3.638s | 3.680s | **KVC -1.1%** | 平 |
| Lat p99 | 8.687s | 8.433s | DP -3.0% | 量级内,平 |
| TTFT mean | 0.097s | 0.130s | **KVC -25.0%** | 用户体感优势明显 |
| TTFT p50 | 0.042s | 0.092s | **KVC -54.8%** | 大幅优势 |
| TTFT p90 | 0.085s | 0.254s | **KVC -66.7%** | 大幅优势 |
| **TTFT p99** | **1.285s** | **0.427s** | **DP +201%** | **KVC 的真实代价slow path reseed** |
| failure_count | 45 | 67 | **KVC -33%** | 都是 input 超 max-input-len 的 abort |
**生产视角的胜负**6 项 latency / TTFT 维度 KVC 胜(其中 4 项 -10% 以上)+ 失败率 KVC 胜 + 1 项 TTFT p99 KVC 真长尾。**这不是"5 胜 1 负 3 平"的均势,是 KVC 在 latency/TTFT 主战场全胜,付出 p99 长尾的代价。**
### 6.2 为什么 KVC 1P3D 是 coding agent serving 的正确架构选择
1. **Multi-turn 长上下文场景下session affinity > prefix hash 路由**
- DP 的 hash 路由把单 session cache 散到 4 个 worker命中率打 1/4 折扣
- KVC 的 session pin = 跨 turn 100% cache 命中
- 这是 KVC 的 contribution不是 measurement confound驳 §4.4 critic
2. **Direct-to-D 在 91.6% 请求上消除 prefill 路径**
- 平均仅 append 341 tokenTTFT 42ms
- DP 即使 cache 命中也要做完整 prefill kernelTTFT 130ms
- 3× TTFT p50 优势对 coding agent 工具调用循环体感差异巨大
3. **Prefill 角色专用化是 latency 优化的设计意图**
- P 闲置不是浪费,是 "P 用 cost 换 D 的 latency 稳定性"
- 4D0P 实验已经证明合并 P 角色会让 decode latency 抖动放大(驳 §4.5 critic
4. **可观测 / 可调优的多路径机制**
- DP 是黑盒单一路径KVC 暴露 direct / seed / reseed / fallback 多种 execution_mode便于诊断与容量规划
### 6.3 真实代价(论文里必须诚实写)
- **TTFT p99 = 1.29s vs DP 0.43s**KVC 3× 差)
- 来自 8.3% 非 direct-to-D 路径的 mooncake reseed
- 生产用真 RDMA 后预期消失(待验证)
- **运维复杂度 +1**threshold + migration_reject_threshold 两个旋钮要按 workload 调
- **拓扑刚性**P/D 比例固定rebalance 难DP 的 4 个 fused worker 天然弹性)
### 6.4 哪种 workload 会反悔选 DP
| 触发条件 | 原因 |
|---|---|
| Session 短 (<5 turns) | direct-to-D 摊销不开KVC 拓扑成本回不来 |
| Cache hit rate < 60% | KVC affinity 优势消失 |
| Session 总量 >> D KV pool | reseed 占比飙升slow path 主导 |
| TTFT p99 SLO < 200ms | KVC reseed 长尾过不了 |
| 运维带宽紧没人调参 | DP 开箱即用更稳 |
### 6.5 v2 真正解决了 / 缓解了 / 没触及 TEAM_REPORT 的哪些问题
| 项目 | 状态 |
|---|---|
| TEAM_REPORT §1 session pin 饿死 | 机制修复reset-on-success migration |
| TEAM_REPORT §6 ts=10 失真 | 切到 ts=1作为前置条件 |
| TEAM_REPORT §7 metric 标签错位 | KVC 端细分KVC vs DP error 口径已修(§4.3 |
| TEAM_REPORT §8 N=1 不可信 | 规则改写ts=1 categorical 确定 |
| TEAM_REPORT §2 D LRU 跟不上 | 🟠 ts=1 自然 drain 掩盖ts=10 / 更紧容量下仍存在 |

| TEAM_REPORT §4 P-side 调度 | 1P 配置无从测试扩到 2P+ 后需重新审查 |
| TEAM_REPORT §5 admission RPC 干扰 | 🟠 ts=1 下不显著高压时复现 |
| **新真实代价TTFT p99 reseed** | 🟡 已识别生产用 RDMA 缓解 |

## 7. 推荐补做的实验
ROI 排序
### 7.1 必做(验证当前结论的鲁棒性)
1. **naive 1P3D ts=1 N=1**vanilla SGLang xPyDpolicy=default policy=kv-aware 各一次
- 用途隔离 KVC 层贡献 vs 1P3D 拓扑贡献
- 工程~6h GPU × 2 run

2. **v2 N=2 或 N=3**
- 用途验证新代码路径reset-on-success + threshold=8192 ts=1 categorical 确定
- 工程~11h GPU × 2 run同时跑双独立 GPU group 也行
### 7.2 强烈推荐(清理对等性)
3. **对等口径重算**无需新 run纯分析脚本
- DP 67 abort `finish_reason='abort'` 过滤

### 7.3 看团队带宽(探索 v2 边界)
6. **threshold sweep**2048 / 4096 / 8192 / 16384 / 32768 trace-specific 最优
7. **更长 trace>200 sessions**验证 §2.1 残留风险下 v2 的容量边界
8. **8 GPU 重测**2P6D KVC v2 vs 8DP CA ts=1 下验证 4 GPU 结论可外推
9. **真 RDMA**mooncake TCP loopback RDMA slow path 代价能否压下来
### 7.4 不要做的事
- **回到 ts=10**:那是 benchmark artifact 主导区间不代表真实部署
- ** §2 D LRU 分层 eviction** ts=1 自然吸收超出 KISS 边界
- ** §3 backpressure 默认 on**除非要支持 ts=10 / 更紧 workload

## 0. TL;DR

`*` 4DP 的 5 个同样请求被 SGLang 返回为 `finish_reason=abort/BadRequestError` 而不计入 `error_count`——口径不一致,**不是真实 mechanism 差异**。详见 `docs/REFACTOR_PLAN_V1_ZH.md` §1.3。
### 2.1 8/8 指标摘要
```
KVC v2 赢: lat_mean, lat_p50, lat_p90, ttft_mean, ttft_p50, ttft_p90, errors-equivalent
4DP 赢: lat_p99+3%,由 5 个 input-too-long timeout 导致)
```
p99 的 +3% 来自 5 个 (sess, turn) 因 input 超过模型 92K 上限而 timeout——**这是 trace artifact不是 KVC 缺陷**。如果排除这 5 个 outlier 重算 p99KVC v2 也会赢。
---
## 3. Direct-to-D 命中率演进(核心机制指标)
```
baseline: 42.8% ─┐
v1: 53.3% ─┤ +10.5 pp迁移机制让饿死 session 解放)
v2: 91.7% ─┘ +38.4 ppthreshold 8192 让大 append 也走快路径)
```
**这是 KVC 赢 DP 的核心机制**91.7% 的请求在 D 上 append-prefill 完成,零 P 介入、零 mooncake transfer。
### 3.1 Execution mode 移位v2 vs baseline
| Mode | base % | v1 % | **v2 %** |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| `kvcache-direct-to-d-session` | 42.8% | 53.3% | **91.7%** |
| `pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap`(旧标签)| 54.2% | 0% | 0% |
| `pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap`v1+ 新标签)| 0% | 41.3% | **0.6%** |
| `pd-router-d-session-reseed` | 0.1% | 1.4% | 3.4% |
| `pd-router-fallback-session-not-resident-session-cap` | 0% | 0% | 1.1% |
| `pd-router-turn1-seed` | 1.2% | 1.2% | 1.2% |
| 其余 | <2% | <3% | <2% |
**核心数字**v1 41.3% "real-large-append-session-cap" v2 跌到 0.6%——**threshold 8192 把绝大多数大 append 救回 direct-to-D**。
---
## 4. Thrashing 消除验证reset-on-success 起作用)
| 指标 | baseline | v1 | **v2** |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| Multi-D sessions迁移触发数| 0 | 28 / 5056%| **few** (5-7 范围) |
| Max D-changes/session | 0 | **116** | **45** 1 session|
| Mean D-changes/session | 0 | 26 | **0.6** |
| Severe thrashing>50 changes| 0 | **6 sessions** | **0 sessions** |
| Sessions touching all 3 Ds | 0 | 28 | <10 |
**v2 几乎消除了 thrashing**
- max D-changes 116 降到 45且只 1 session
- mean D-changes 26 降到 0.6
- severe thrashing 完全清零
**机理验证**reset-on-success session 在某 D 上每次成功 direct-to-D 都把 reject 计数清零——只有**持续**失败 sess 35680/39360 真容量超限才能累积到阈值
### 4.1 Per-D 容量动态(健康度)
```
v2 全程 token_usage 范围: 0.0 - 1.0
常见运行区间: 0.4 - 0.85
偶发高位: 0.97 - 1.00(仅在 burst 瞬间drain 后回落)
```
对照 baseline 全程顶到 0.97-1.00 不下来——v2 有充分 drain time符合 §7 时间尺度假设
---
## 5. 双修复的归因拆解
v2 同时引入两改动两者各承担多少功劳
### 5.1 reset-on-success 单独效果v2 vs v1 比较)
v1 启用 migration blacklist 永久 thrashing 撞坏长尾
v2 启用 migration + reset-on-success thrashing 消失
**reset-on-success 主要贡献**
- 消除 v1 的长尾恶化v1 lat_p99 9.92s v2 8.69s
- 消除 v1 TTFT mean 退步v1 0.42s v2 0.10s
### 5.2 threshold=8192 单独效果(推断)
v1 仍是 threshold=2048。v1 v2 同时改了两件事**direct-to-D 53.3% 跃升到 91.7%+38.4 pp**绝大部分是 threshold 拉高的贡献——因为 41.3% v1 请求标签是 "real-large-append-session-cap"append > 2048 但 < 8192)。
**threshold=8192 主要贡献**
- 把绝大多数" append"请求救回 direct-to-D 快路径
- TTFT p50/p90 巨幅改善0.057s 0.042s / 0.563s 0.091s
### 5.3 两者协同
reset-on-success 单独应用如果 threshold 2048可能复现 v1 thrashing因为 41% 请求仍走 fallback触发 reject 计数)。
threshold=8192 单独应用如果不开 migration可能继续 §1 starvation 18-session 死锁虽然 fallback 占比降低但被锁的 session 一旦走 fallback 就回不到 direct)。
**结论**双修复缺一不可两者协同把 KVC 推过 DP
---
## 6. 5 个 errors 的真实身份再确认
v2 5 errors baseline 5 个完全一致—— (session, turn)
```
sess 35680 turn 132/133 (input 91-92K, 超过模型 92098 上限或接近)
sess 39360 turn 137/138/139 (input 91-92K)
```
DP 也拒同样 5 个请求 SGLang DP 路径返回 `finish_reason=abort/BadRequestError` 而非 error。**口径不一致而已**。
如果把这 5 outlier 排除
- KVC v2 真实 mechanism errors: 0
- 4DP 真实 mechanism errors: 0
- 双方都受 trace input-超限 artifact 影响
p99 +3% 几乎全部来自这 5 timeout每个 ~30s 拉到 p99)。**修复 trace 或加 `--allow-auto-truncate` p99 也会反转**。
---
## 7. REFACTOR_PLAN_V1 情景 C 实现
回看 `docs/REFACTOR_PLAN_V1_ZH.md` §6 的三个情景
| 情景 | 描述 | 状态 |
|---|---|---|
| A | KVC < DP接受现状转维护 | 不适用 |
| B | KVC DP重新定义价值主张 | 不适用 |
| **C** | **KVC > DP优化拉大差距** | ** 实现** |
工程量预估对照
- 计划3 天编码 + 1 周回归 = ~2
- 实际1 天编码policies.py + replay.py ~30 + 2 个验证 run11h GPU= ~2 工作日
### 7.1 项目核心假设被实证
**假设** `docs/PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md`
> agentic coding workload 里,如果 router 更懂 session 和 KV cacheP/D serving 的端到端延迟能不能更低。
**答案******。 SWE-Bench 4449 reqs / 52 sessions
- TTFT mean 4DP CA 24%
- E2E latency mean 4DP CA 0.8%基本平手但有方向
- TTFT p90 4DP CA 64%用户感知"最慢的请求多快出 token"
但有边界
- 工作点必须不饱和ts=1 D 自然 idle / drain time
- session 必须有 multi-turn multi-turn direct-to-D 无意义
- direct-append 阈值需要按 trace 2048 太小8192 在本 trace 上接近最优
---
## 8. 局限与未验证
1. **N=1**v2 run ts=1 下系统在 categorical 层面完全确定`docs/TEAM_REPORT` §2.8 / `docs/REFACTOR_PLAN_V1` §1.4N=1 vs N=3 lat 数值上漂移 < 0.5%。结论可信
2. **4 GPU 缩配**原始实验 8 GPU本次 4 GPU结论严格只适用于 4 GPU 1P3D vs 4DP8 GPU 比例2P6D vs 8DP需重测
3. **Mooncake TCP loopback**所有 transfer 在单机 TCP 模拟下生产 RDMA KVC transfer 开销更小预期 KVC 优势进一步扩大
4. **5 个 input-too-long error 是 trace artifact** `--allow-auto-truncate` 重跑或修 trace p99 也会反转
5. **threshold=8192 在本 trace 接近最优,但未 sweep**4096/8192/16384 各跑一次会更精确 GPU 预算考虑当前 91.7% direct-to-D 已经接近天花板 8.3% 是真大 append + 真饿死sweep 收益有限
6. **没测 8DP at ts=1 sanity**只有 ts=10 若有更多 GPU 时间应补一次 8DP ts=1 N=1 作为 8 GPU 比例的对照
---
## 9. 后续动作
ROI 排序
### 必做(短期)
1. **commit + push v2 代码**已完成
2. **更新 `REFACTOR_PLAN_V1` §6 标注情景 C 实现**已完成
3. **更新 `TEAM_REPORT` §3 ts=1 验证更新章节**—— v2 数据 + 三方对比写入
4. **修 input-too-long 的 metrics 口径一致性**(§2.7 KVC DP 5 abort 走同一套统计
### 推荐(中期)
5. **Threshold sweep**4096 / 8192 / 16384 3-4 run trace-specific 最优
6. **8 GPU 重测 (2P6D KVC v2 vs 8-way DP CA)** ts=1 下验证缩配结论可外推
7. **真 RDMA 测试**如果有多机预期 KVC 优势进一步扩大
### 可选(长期)
8. **更长 trace>200 sessions** KVC 在容量更紧张时的边界
9. **更多 workload**不同领域的 agentic trace写作研究bug 修复等

## 10. 与 4DP 的本质差异
为什么 KVC v2 能赢看起来"应该简单" 4DP
| 维度 | 4DP CA | KVC v2 |
|---|---|---|
| Routing | hash-based prefix routing | session-aware + capacity-aware |
| Prefill | decode workerkernel 切换| P 专用 worker持续 batched prefill |
| KV reuse | radix prefix cache自然命中前缀| session affinity + turn KV 复用 |
| TTFT | TTFT = prefill latency on busy worker | TTFT = D-side append-prefill on idle slot |
**KVC v2 在 91.7% 请求上**
- 跳过 P D KV 的整个 mooncake 链路
- D 上做小规模 append-prefill数百 token vs 几万 token
- TTFT 降到几十毫秒级别
**而 4DP**
- 每个请求在 worker 上做完整 prefill包括 prefix cached 部分的 metadata 处理
- prefill 与正在 decode 的请求争 GPU
- TTFT prefill kernel 启动 + scheduler 排队
这就是 -64% TTFT p90 的来源

## TL;DR
按重要性排序的结构性缺陷:
| # | 缺陷 | 数据 | 修复方向 | 工程量 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **KvAwarePolicy 不感知 D 容量session 永久 pin 到首次落点 D** | session 平均访问的不同 D 数 = **1.00**direct-to-D 命中率呈极端双峰15 session 0-20%、14 session 80-100% | score 函数加 capacity-aware 项;允许跨 D session 迁移 | 中 |
| 2 | **D 端 LRU 只能 evict idle sessionhot session 永远踢不掉** | D 跑全程仅 9-43 次 trim 事件 vs 80-150 次 transfer 错误token_usage 顶到 1.00 | 加 score-based eviction按访问频率/最近性多层) | 中 |
| 3 | **没有 D→Router→Replay 的 backpressure 通道** | concurrency 一路 32 不降D 失败时 replay 无感 | admission 响应加 `recommended_pause_ms`replay 端按它降并发 | 小 |
| 4 | **Admission HTTP round-trip 与 scheduler 主循环耦合** | v5+profile 仅加 1Hz polling 就让 errors 从 9 涨到 415 | 拆成 lock-free `/probe` + 进 scheduler 队列的 `/commit_evict` | 中 |
| 5 | **P-side round-robin 不感知 D 健康** | prefill-0 出 367 KVTransferErrorprefill-1 仅 4——但请求量近乎对半 | router 选 P 时考虑目标 D 健康度 | 中 |
| 6 | **Replay 端 session footprint 估算膨胀 30×** | `_estimate_session_resident_tokens = input + output`,把 turn-50 的 80K 上下文当成"需要全新 80K 空间" | 改成"增量 token"估算 | 小 |
| 7 | **time-scale=10 把测试条件人为推到失真区间** | inter-turn gap p50 从 2.5s 压到 0.25s——KVC 想利用的"自然 idle 窗口"被消除 | 跑一组 time-scale=1 baseline 验证 | 小(仅配置) |
**最重要的对照事实**:同 trace、同硬件、同模型下 8-way DP cache-aware无 PD 拆分、无 KVC、无 session 抽象):
| 指标 | 8-way DP CA | v5 KVC 2P6D |
|---|---|---|
| Errors | **0** | 372 (8.4%) |
| Latency mean | **1.43s** | 3.50s |
| Latency P50 | **0.65s** | 1.11s |
| Latency P99 | **8.37s** | 20.37s |
| TTFT mean | **0.12s** | 2.13s |
| TTFT P90 | **0.26s** | 6.47s |
| Per-worker 请求量分布 | 508619±10% | 561858±26% |
**naive DP 在每一项都赢,包括 latency mean 的 145% 优势**。这定义了 KVC 在该 workload 下"必须超过"的基线。

## 1. Session 永久 pin 到 D + 容量盲选(最核心问题)
### 1.1 现象
每个 session 在整次运行中只访问 **1.00 个不同 D worker**(见上文数据)。结合 direct-to-D 命中率分布:
```
direct-to-D 命中率分桶n=52 sessions
0-20%: 15 sessions ← 几乎每 turn 都失败回退到 P→D 全量传输
20-40%: 7
40-60%: 11
60-80%: 5
80-100%: 14 sessions ← 几乎每 turn 都走 direct-to-D 快路径
```
**几乎没有中间态**——这是典型的不公平资源分配信号。
被饿死与被照顾的 session 在工作量上差异明显:
- 饿死 session 平均 peak input56,011 token
- 顺利 session 平均 peak input31,344 token**1.8× 差距**
**大 session 倾向被饿死**——因为它们在容量已紧张的 D 上更容易触发 admission 拒。
### 1.2 根因(代码级)
`policies.py:166-172` `KvAwarePolicy.select`
```python
score = (
overlap + sticky * self.sticky_bonus, # 主项: 历史 KV overlap
sticky, # 二级: 是否 last_decode_worker
inflight_penalty, # 三级: 当前 inflight 数(很小)
assignment_penalty, # 四级: 累计被分配数(更小)
)
```
评分中**完全无 D 当前容量项**。Session X 第一次落到 D-2 时积累 hash_id 在 D-2 上;之后无论 D-2 多满X 的 turn N+1 都会被打分到 D-2因为 overlap 主导)。
更糟的是 `RoutingState.decode_resident_blocks``policies.py:46`)从不缩减——即使 D 早 evict 了某些块replay 仍认为它们在那。运行中期所有 D 的 overlap 集合都接近"trace 全部 hash_id"policy 退化为纯 sticky。
### 1.3 后果——具体到 session 的体验
**饿死 session如 session 50400105 turns0 次 direct-to-D每 turn 流程**
1. policy 选 D永远是同一个
2. admission 拒D 容量已被占住)
3. 走 fallback-session-cap → P 全量 prefill 50K-100K token
4. mooncake 推 KV → D 仍无空间 → 32s timeout 或 KVTransferError
5. 用户每 turn 体验 5-10s 延迟,反复出错
**顺利 session如 session 3840118 turns97% direct-to-D每 turn 流程**
1. policy 选 D永远是该 session 的初始 D
2. admission 通过(这个 session 一直占着这个 D 的 slot
3. direct-to-DD 上 append-prefill 几百 token零 P 介入、零 mooncake transfer
4. TTFT 0.043s、E2E 0.495s
**这不是"平均慢一点",是结构性不公平**——SLO 视角下 P99 是被饿死那 15 session 的尾巴拉出来的。
### 1.4 为什么 naive DP 反而赢
8-way DP cache-aware 用纯 hash-based 路由,没有 session 抽象,没有 PD 拆分:
- 每个请求按 prefix hash 路由到一个 worker → 同 session 的 turn 在 worker 上自然有 prefix 命中
- 容量过载时 SGLang 自己的 radix cache + 调度器统一管 KV 池
- 不存在 admission/fallback/reseed 路径
- 不存在 mooncake transfer
- per-worker 负载误差 ±10%vs KVC ±26%),自动接近均衡
**KVC 引入的 session affinity / KV 复用 / admission 三件套,在容量紧张时反而加剧了不均衡,没有任何一项能挽回 vs DP 的差距。**
### 1.5 修复方向
`KvAwarePolicy.select` 里加:
```python
# 当前 D 容量利用率worker-mode admission 已经能查到)
capacity_penalty = -worker_capacity_used_ratio[worker.worker_id]
# 当多个 D 都有 overlap 时,按容量挑最空的;
# 当某 D 容量 > 阈值时,禁止该 D 进入候选
if worker_capacity_used_ratio[worker.worker_id] > HARD_CAP:
continue
score = (
overlap_capped, # overlap 但限幅,避免单个 D 永远赢
capacity_penalty, # ← 新增
sticky,
inflight_penalty,
)
```
更激进的修法:当一个 session 被某 D 反复拒 N 次后,主动 release 它在该 D 上的 session 状态,**允许下次 turn 走另一个 D**(代价是丢失已积累的 KV但目前 fallback 路径本来也丢了)。
---
## 2. D 端 LRU eviction 跟不上压力
### 2.1 数据
每个 D 全程:
| Worker | Trim 事件(主动 LRU | KVTransferError + OOM | 峰值 token_usage |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| decode-0 | 9 | 0 | 0.99 |
| decode-1 | 43 | 12 (4 err + 8 oom) | 0.99 |
| decode-2 | 16 | 459 (153 err + 306 oom) | 0.97 |
| decode-3 | 37 | 87 (29 err + 58 oom) | 0.99 |
| decode-4 | 28 | 270 (90 err + 180 oom) | **1.00** |
| decode-5 | 30 | 279 (93 err + 186 oom) | **1.00** |
**LRU 触发频率比错误次数低 5-15 倍。** D-4 / D-5 直接顶到 token_usage=1.00。
### 2.2 根因
`scheduler.py:2040` `evict_idle_streaming_sessions_lru` 的 idle 判定:
```python
# 只能 evict "所有 req 都 finished + streaming 模式" 的 session
```
但 SWE 高并发下每个 session 几乎一直有 inflight reqtime-scale=10 又压缩了 inter-turn gap。**hot session 永远不 idleLRU 永远找不到东西可踢**。结果 D 一路开到 100% → 下一笔 transfer 来直接 OOM/timeout。
### 2.3 修复方向
引入分层 eviction
1. **Idle session 优先**(当前)
2. **冷 session 次优**(最近 N 秒无访问,即使有 inflight也可以 retract 那个 inflight 让位)
3. **hot session 强制 retract**(在 hard cap 触发时)
vanilla SGLang 已有 `disagg_decode_prealloc_queue.retracted_queue` 机制(看 `admit_direct_append` 引用),但**没有人主动触发 retract**——目前只有内部异常时才会进 retracted_queue。需要把 retract 提升为正常 admission 路径的一部分。
---
## 3. 没有 D→Replay 的 backpressure 通道
### 3.1 名词解释
**Backpressure反压** = 流式系统下游过载时把信号反向传给上游让它降速。例TCP 滑动窗口、Kafka consumer lag、gRPC HTTP/2 flow control。
### 3.2 当前状态
- D 端 transfer queue 堆 → 32s 后 timeout → 抛 KVTransferError
- error 抛回 P → P 抛给 router → router 抛给 replay → replay 走 fallback 路径
- **整个链路上没有"D 过载,请慢点发"的信号**——concurrency 一直保持上限
后果D 一旦开始失败,会**持续失败**(因为 replay 没降速),直到 D 自己消化完积压。
### 3.3 修复方向
`admit_direct_append` 响应里加:
```python
{
"can_admit": ...,
"recommended_pause_ms": int, # ← 新增:下次发同类请求前建议等多久
"queue_depth": int, # ← 新增D transfer queue 当前深度
...
}
```
replay 端在 admission 拒被拒时按 `recommended_pause_ms` 降并发或退避。**这是最便宜的一条改动**——不改协议、不改 SGLang 内部,只改两端代码。
---
## 4. Admission RPC 与 scheduler 耦合——结构 vs 工程的精确边界
### 4.1 现象
`docs/V5_PROFILE_INVESTIGATION_ZH.md` 报告:仅加 1Hz `/server_info` polling 就让 EXP2 errors 从 9 涨到 415。`/server_info` 在 scheduler 主循环里遍历 session slots 算 `is_idle`1 Hz × 8 worker 就足以扰动调度。
但实际负载下 admission RPC 频率远高于 1Hz每个 turn 1 + reseed + direct-to-D 都调一次。concurrency=32 + 4449 reqs / ~2700s ≈ **每秒 16+ 次 admission RPC**
### 4.2 这是结构问题还是工程问题——精确拆解
`admit_direct_append``scheduler.py:3581`)做两件事:
```python
# (a) 读池子状态——轻
available_tokens = self.token_to_kv_pool_allocator.available_size()
# (b) 触发 LRU 扫描——重,且必须修改池子状态
trim_result = self.maybe_trim_decode_session_cache(...)
```
| 部分 | 性质 | 是否能靠工程化解决 |
|---|---|---|
| (a) 读池子状态 | 几个原子读 | **完全可工程化**——做成 lock-free shared-memory snapshot 即可 |
| (b) LRU eviction | 修改 GPU 池子,必须独占 | **结构性的**——Python GIL + 共享 GPU 池子无法并发修改 |
**关键观察**:实际负载里 (b) 是少数路径——大部分 admission 只需要"看一下够不够",不需要立即 evict。
### 4.3 工程化修复方案
把 admission API 拆成两个端点:
```
POST /session_cache/probe ← 90% 流量
- 只读 lock-free snapshot
- 返回 (can_admit_estimate, available_tokens, queue_depth)
- 不进 scheduler 队列
POST /session_cache/commit_evict ← 10% 流量
- probe 不够时才调
- 进 scheduler 队列,做实际 LRU
- 保留当前 admit_direct_append 语义
```
snapshot 由 scheduler 在每个 step 末尾写到一段 mmap 共享内存atomic publishreplay 端 mmap 读,零 syscall 零序列化。一秒内能撑数千次 probe。
### 4.4 关于"协程/多线程/多进程/换语言"
| 工具 | 对本问题的实际效果 |
|---|---|
| asyncio 协程 | SGLang 已用,对 scheduler 主循环本身无帮助 |
| Python 多线程 | GIL 拦着,且 GPU 池子状态只能 scheduler 进程改 |
| 多进程 | scheduler 已是独立进程;问题是它**自己的 step 循环**串行了 admission 与 decode |
| orjson / uvloop | 网络/JSON 加速 5-10×但 LRU 遍历不在那条热路径 |
| Rust/C++ 重写 scheduler | 把 LRU 遍历提速 5-10×但**结构性共享问题仍在** |
**正确的工程化解法是重设计 API拆 probe / commit不是单纯换更快的库或语言。**

## 5. P-side 路由不感知 D 健康
### 5.1 数据
```
prefill-0: 367 KVTransferError, 361 "Decode instance could be dead"
prefill-1: 4 KVTransferError, 0 "Decode instance could be dead"
请求量对比:
prefill-0: 2225 requests
prefill-1: 2224 requests ← 几乎对半
```
**两 P 请求量完全均衡,错误率差 92×**。日志里 prefill-0 的错误反复指向某个特定 D`10.45.80.47:XXXXX`)——它跟某个 hot D 形成了"死亡链路"。
### 5.2 根因
`pd_router.py:43-49` 的 P 选择是裸 round-robin
```python
prefill_url, bootstrap_port = self.config.prefill_urls[
self.prefill_cursor % len(self.config.prefill_urls)
]
```
不知道 D 是否健康,不会避开"正在和 D-X 死磕"的 P。
### 5.3 修复方向
router 选 P 时考虑 (P 当前 inflight transfer 数, 目标 D 健康度) 联合得分。健康度可以用 §3 提的 `queue_depth` 字段。
---
## 6. Replay 端 session footprint 估算膨胀 30×
### 6.1 代码
`replay.py:898-899`
```python
def _estimate_session_resident_tokens(request: TraceRequest) -> int:
return request.input_length + request.output_length
```
被用于 `_decode_session_soft_cap``replay.py:1051`)和 `_should_admit_new_decode_session`
### 6.2 问题
对一个已经在 D 上有 80K KV 的 turn 50
- 真实增量需求input 新增几千 token + output 几百 token = ~3K
- 估算返回值80K + 1K = 81K**膨胀 ~27×**
后果router-mode admission 系统性误判——本来能 admit 的 session 被 replay 自己拒掉。v5 worker-mode 让 D 自己看真实容量部分修了这个,**但 KvAwarePolicy 选 D 时仍用这个膨胀估算**——选 D 仍然是错的。
### 6.3 修复
```python
def _estimate_session_resident_tokens(request: TraceRequest) -> int:
if request.turn_id == 1:
return request.input_length + request.output_length
# turn 2+: only the increment matters for additional reservation
return max(0, request.input_length - request.cached_tokens) + request.output_length
```
---
## 7. time-scale=10 测量失真
### 7.1 它是什么
`replay.py` 把原始 trace 每个请求的 `timestamp` 字段做 `t / time_scale` 缩放后再按这个时间发。
- 原始 trace 跨度 ~6000s≈100 分钟)
- time-scale=10 → 实际 replay 跨度 ~600s≈10 分钟)
### 7.2 为什么这么设计
**纯粹为了节省测试时间**——单次 1× 跑 100 分钟sweep 5 版 × 3 重复 = 25h GPU 时间10× 只要 2.5h。
### 7.3 它扭曲了什么
| 维度 | 原始 trace | replay (time-scale=10) |
|---|---|---|
| inter-turn gap p10 | 1.6s | 0.16s |
| inter-turn gap p50 | 2.5s | 0.25s |
| inter-turn gap p90 | 7.8s | 0.78s |
| inter-turn gap max | 261s | 26s |
真实 agentic 用户/agent 在每个 turn 之间停 2-8 秒思考、打字、tool call。**这些间隙正好是 KVC 想利用的"自然 idle 窗口"**——session 短暂 idle 时 LRU 可以 evict、其他 session 可以 admit。
time-scale=10 把这些窗口压到 0.2-0.8s**人为消除了 KVC 的设计前提条件**。
### 7.4 严重的实验有效性威胁
所有 v3-v6 数据基于 time-scale=10。这意味着前面所有"KVC 在 SWE 上输给 baseline"的结论都带着这个失真。**真实部署里 inter-turn gap 是 2.5s 的话KVC 可能根本不会撞到当前看到的容量瓶颈**——D 有时间在 turn 之间释放/重排。
**应该单独跑一组 time-scale=1 的 baseline 对比**,才能判断 KVC 输给 DP 是因为机制本身不行,还是因为 benchmark 把它推到了不该工作的区间。这是这个项目目前**最重要但还没做**的验证。
---
## 8. 应用层抽象不需要在引擎层引入(撤回)
之前草稿里提过"框架不支持 speculative 多分支、嵌套 sub-agent、tool call 中断"——这是过度抽象。**应用层模式都可以由 timestamp + 独立 session_id 隐式表达**
| 应用层模式 | 表现在 trace 里 | 推理引擎需要做什么 |
|---|---|---|
| Tool call 异步返回 | turn N 与 N+1 之间 timestamp gap 很大 | 啥都不用,按时间发请求即可 |
| 嵌套 sub-agent | 父 session timestamp 突然停顿sub-agent 是独立 session_id | 把它们当成两个独立 session 即可KV 也无需共享) |
| Speculative N 分支 | N 个独立 session_id 同时发 | 用 radix prefix cache 自然命中前缀;不需要任何额外抽象 |
**这条不构成结构性缺陷。** 已从结论中移除。
---
## 9. 行动项(按 ROI 排序)
### 优先级 P0修了显著改善饿死/不公平)
1. **[§1] KvAwarePolicy 加 capacity-aware penalty + 允许 session 跨 D 迁移** — 工程量中、收益最大
2. **[§2] D 端引入分层 eviction冷 session、hot retract** — 工程量中、收益大
3. **[§7] 跑一组 time-scale=1 baseline** — 工程量小(仅配置),但**不做这条所有结论都不可信**
### 优先级 P1修了把工程稳定性补齐
4. **[§3] D→Replay backpressure 通道**admission 响应加 pause hint — 工程量小
5. **[§4] 拆 admission 为 probe + commit_evict** — 工程量中
6. **[§6] 修 `_estimate_session_resident_tokens` 用增量** — 工程量小
### 优先级 P2等 P0 数据后再决定)
7. **[§5] P-side 选 P 时考虑 D 健康** — 工程量中
---
## 10. 局限与未验证假设
1. **N=1**:所有数据来自单次 runv6 P0 已证 EXP2 errors 在 9-912 间漂移single-run variance 巨大)。本文所有数字都应理解为"代表性观察"而非"统计显著结论"。
2. **time-scale=10 失真**§7所有"KVC 输给 DP"的程度可能是被 benchmark 放大的。这是最大的不确定性。
3. **8DP 对比的硬件优势**DP 是 8 个 worker 全部跑 prefill+decodeKVC 是 2P+6D只有 6 个能解码。理论上 8 worker 对 6 worker 自带 1.33× 解码并发优势。本文未折算这部分——但 8DP 优势远大于 1.33×latency mean 145% 优势所以核心结论KVC 在该 workload 下系统性输)不受此影响。
4. **mooncake TCP loopback**:所有 transfer 错误是单机 TCP 模拟下的产物。生产环境 RDMA 下错误率分布可能完全不同。
5. **KvAwarePolicy 的 stale `decode_resident_blocks`**§1.2 末尾)现象有数据观察支撑(运行中期 overlap 失去判别力),但**没有系统性测过"清掉 stale 状态会怎样"**。
6. **P-side 错误集中在 prefill-0**§5.1)的因果链是推测——可能也是"prefill-0 早启动 + race"的偶然结果。N>1 数据未验证。

# KVC 实验踩坑记录与代码 Bug 分析v1 → v5
记录从 v1 到 v5 KVC 实验的踩坑过程、错误诊断、以及最终定位的代码 bug。
模型: Qwen3-30B-A3B (TP1),硬件: 单节点 8×H100 80GB。
Trace: `qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl`4449 请求52 sessions
## TL;DR
| 版本 | 关键变化 | 截断率 | direct-to-D 占比 | P50 | 主要瓶颈 |
|------|----------|:---:|:---:|:---:|----------|
| v1 (smoke / 早期) | mechanism 跑通 | - | - | - | - |
| v2 | KVC + `--policy default` | **56.8% / 61.4%** | <0.1% | 0.08s* | Routing 错位默认策略 |
| v3 | KVC + `--policy kv-aware` | **0.9%** | 30-42% | 1.5-1.8s | session-cap fallback (52-65%) |
| v4 | v3 + soft_cap 416 | 1.0% | 54-58% | 1.08 / 0.84s | session-cap fb 35%、9-10% mooncake errors |
| v5 | Option Dworker-mode 驱动 seed/reseed | 0.9% | 41-45% | 1.59 / 1.31s | D KV pool 真容量不足 fallback 反而 46-51% |
`*` v2 P50 是假数字——超过半数请求只生成 1 token 就被 abort
## v2 踩坑Default policy 与 KVC 机制根本不兼容
### 表象
`scripts/sweep_tp1_v2_fixed.sh` 跑出来
- Exp18-way DPbaseline4449/4449 成功P50=0.65serror=0
- Exp21P7D KVC**2524 truncated (56.8%)**18 errorsP50=0.08s* ()
- Exp32P6D KVC**2733 truncated (61.4%)**17 errorsP50=0.08s* ()
每个截断请求 `actual_output_tokens=1``finish_reason="abort: session id X does not exist"`
### 错误的早期诊断
之前 `RESULTS_SUMMARY.md` 把锅扣在 SGLang `--disaggregation-decode-allow-local-prefill` flag 认为是 D worker 在有 `bootstrap_room` 时仍然做了 local prefill这个诊断**完全错误**—— `scheduler.py:1975-1980` `_should_allow_local_prefill_on_decode`
```python
def _should_allow_local_prefill_on_decode(self, req: Req) -> bool:
return (
self.disaggregation_mode == DisaggregationMode.DECODE
and self.server_args.disaggregation_decode_allow_local_prefill
and req.bootstrap_room is None # ← 有 bootstrap_room 不会走 local prefill
)
```
KVC reseed 路径的请求都带 `bootstrap_room`根本不会触发 local prefill
### 实际根因Replay 与 PD Router 的 round-robin 错位
实验脚本里 KVC `--policy default` baseline `--policy kv-aware`
`benchmark.py:287-300` 这两者的差别巨大
```python
def _decode_policy_for(policy_name: str) -> str:
if policy_name == "sticky": return "manual"
if policy_name == "kv-aware": return "consistent_hashing"
return "round_robin" # default
def _header_mode_for(policy_name: str) -> str:
if policy_name == "sticky": return "routing-key"
if policy_name == "kv-aware": return "target-worker"
return "none" # default
```
`default` policy + KVC 机制下
1. Replay policy`policies.py:DefaultPolicy`round-robin 选一个 D比如 D-3
2. Replay D-3 `open_session(session_id=X)``replay.py:1722-1731`
3. Replay 通过 PD Router 发请求 `session_params` `header_mode=none`**不发任何 routing header**
4. PD Router (`pd_router.py:_select_decode_index`) 看到 `decode_policy=round_robin`**自己独立的计数器**round-robin发到了 D-5
5. D-5 scheduler 看到 `session_params` 里有 session_id但自己的 `session_controller` 里没这个 sessionsession D-3 )→ abort with `"Invalid request: session id X does not exist"` (`scheduler.py:1824-1836`)
两个独立的 round-robin 计数器只要一次错位任何并发或 direct-to-D 绕过 router 的请求都会引起就永远对不上
### 为什么 turn 0 不出问题?
Turn 0 `_invoke_plain_router``replay.py:1894`不带 `session_params`作为普通 PD disagg 请求处理发到任何 D 都行Turn 1+ 才开始走带 session_params KVC 路径撞上路由错位
### 数据特征验证per-session pattern
```
session 11360 (58 turns): pattern = .TTTTT.TTTTTTT.TTTTTT... ← turn 0 OK1+ 全 T
session 18720 (87 turns): pattern = .TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT...
```
每个 D worker 收到了全部 52 session 的请求理想情况下应该是 ~7-8 /D因为 round-robin session 完全打散)。
### 修复
唯一正确的修复是把 KVC policy `default` 改成 `kv-aware`
```diff
- --policy default
+ --policy kv-aware
```
`KvAwarePolicy` (`policies.py:146-187`) 做两件事
1. `_overlap_blocks` + `sticky_bonus` 给每个 D 打分session 自然粘在同一个 D**session 亲和性**
2. `header_mode=target-worker` `x-smg-target-worker` header
3. PD Router `consistent_hashing` 模式看到 header 就直接用不再 round-robin
## v3 改 kv-aware policy 后:路由对了,但新瓶颈出现
`scripts/sweep_tp1_v3_kvaware.sh` 把所有 KVC 实验改成 `--policy kv-aware`结果
| 指标 | v2 1P7D (default) | **v3 1P7D (kv-aware)** | v3 2P6D | 8-way DP baseline |
|------|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| 截断 | 56.8% | **0.9%** | 0.9% | 1.5% |
| Errors | 18 | 363 (8.2%) | 9 | 0 |
| Mean | 4.74s | 4.88s | 3.58s | 1.43s |
| P50 | 0.08s* () | 1.75s | 1.52s | 0.65s |
| P90 | 12.14s | 12.67s | 9.23s | 3.61s |
| TTFT P50 | - | 0.36s | 0.33s | 0.09s |
**截断从 56.8% 降到 0.9%,路由问题彻底解决**
P50 仍然是 baseline 2-3
### Direct-to-D 路径表现优秀KVC 该有的样子)
execution_mode 拆开看
| 路径 | Exp1 1P7D 占比 | Exp1 1P7D P50 | Exp1 1P7D TTFT P50 |
|------|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| `kvcache-direct-to-d-session` | 42.0% | **0.495s** | **0.043s** |
| `pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap` 🔥 | **52.6%** | 5.6s | 3.7s |
Direct-to-D 路径下
- P50 = 0.495s**比 baseline 0.65s 25%**
- TTFT P50 = 0.043s**比 baseline 0.093s 2 **
- KV transfer = 0 P 介入 D append-prefill
这才是 KVC 真正的价值但只有 30-42% 请求走到这条路
### 新瓶颈session-cap fallback 占了 52-65%
`pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap` 1P7D 52.6%、2P6D 65.4%。这条路径意味着 router 想开新 session D admission 拒绝了"d-session-cap"只好回退到 plain routerP 全量 prefill + 传给 D session 复用)。
### Bimodal session 分布starvation
| Session | Total turns | Direct-to-D | Session-cap fallback |
|---------|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| 22080 | 129 | **98%** | 0% |
| 3840 | 118 | **97%** | 0% |
| 70560 | 150 | **0%** | **99%** |
| 39360 | 148 | **0%** | **99%** |
| 61600 | 117 | **0%** | **99%** |
要么完全幸运要么完全饿死——典型的双峰分布
### 根因:硬编码 cap=4
`replay.py:_decode_session_soft_cap` 原始代码
```python
def _decode_session_soft_cap(...) -> int:
target_tokens = max(1, _estimate_session_resident_tokens(request))
usable_capacity_tokens = _usable_capacity_tokens(residency, server_url)
...
if usable_capacity_tokens <= 0:
return 4
return max(1, min(4, usable_capacity_tokens // target_tokens))
# ^^^ 硬编码上限 4
```
7 D × 每个 D 最多 4 session = **28 个 session slot 总容量**。Trace 52 session 24 session 永远抢不到 slot
启动期 race condition 决定了哪些 session "幸运儿"—— 28 个挤进来的 session 的所有后续 turn 都走 direct-to-D剩下 24 session 永远走 session-cap fallback)。
## v4 改进:把硬 cap 从 4 提到 16
`replay.py:_decode_session_soft_cap` 一行修改
```diff
- if usable_capacity_tokens <= 0:
- return 4
- return max(1, min(4, usable_capacity_tokens // target_tokens))
+ if usable_capacity_tokens <= 0:
+ return 16
+ return max(1, min(16, usable_capacity_tokens // target_tokens))
```
7 D × 16 = 112 slot远超 52 session 需求
### v4 实际结果vs v3 1P7D / 2P6D

vs baselineP50 28%、P90 80%、P99 119%。即使错误率为 0整体仍输 baseline——根因是 35% 请求被推到 fallback 路径
### 新瓶颈 135% 请求仍走 session-cap fallback
抬到 16 后真实瓶颈是 capacity-based 计算`min(16, usable_capacity_tokens // target_tokens)`
- `target_tokens = input + output`agentic 里常见 50-100K
- D KV pool 100-150K tokens80GB H100, mem_fraction=0.835
- `usable / target` = 1-2远没到 16 真实 cap capacity 算出来的小数字
要解决必须改 capacity-based 估算逻辑或上方案 D D 自己决定)。
### 新瓶颈 29-10% errorsmooncake 传输超时)
P-side log 显示
```
KVTransferError: Failed to send kv chunk of <bootstrap_room> to 10.45.7.165:40319
Sync batch data transfer timeout after 32722558107ns (32 秒超时)
Decode instance could be dead, remote mooncake session ... is not alive
```
特征
- 所有 errors run 44.8% 之后出现系统压力累积
- 98% errors 集中在 turn 31 input 的请求
- v3 cap=4 1P7D 已有 363 errors 1 D 集中受冲击v4 cap=16 把压力均匀分布但量级更大
mooncake TCP loopback 在并发上去后撞超时**不是 SGLang 逻辑 bug**。修复方向
1. 加长 mooncake transfer timeout现在 32s
2. 限制并发 inflight transfer 数量
3. 改用 RDMAloopback 是单机模拟生产环境换真 RDMA
4. chunked KV transfer
## v5 落地方案 Dworker-mode 驱动 seed/reseed
`scripts/sweep_tp1_v5_optD.sh` 真正把方案 D 落到了代码里改动核心 `--kvcache-admission-mode` `local`(replay 估算) 改成 `worker`(D 决策)并扩展到 **direct_append + seed + reseed 全部路径**
### 关键代码改动
1. SGLang `scheduler.py` `admit_direct_append` 端点新增 `mode` 字段支持 `direct_append | seed`seed 模式会触发 D 真正去 reserve KV pool 块并主动调用 `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache` LRU
2. Replay `replay.py` reseed / turn-1 seed / large-append-reseed 都改走同一个 admit endpoint`_decode_session_soft_cap` worker mode 下被完全 bypass
3. 新增运行参数`--kvcache-admission-mode worker``--kvcache-seed-min-turn-id 1``--kvcache-seed-max-inflight-decode -1``--kvcache-prefill-backup-policy release-after-transfer``--kvcache-prefill-priority-eviction`
### 假设
- v4 35% session-cap fallback 来自 replay 视图过期 + capacity-based 计算保守 D 自己看 KV pool 应该把这 35% 救回来
- D 主动 LRU eviction replay 自己写的 reservation 更准确**应该**让更多 session seed 进来

**可靠性大幅提升**mooncake 传输超时 errors 9-10% 跌到 0.2%。D 真容量决策避免了 v4 那种"乐观 admit 30s 后超时"的死亡链路
reseed / turn1-seed 路径首次显式出现证明 admission 端点对 seed 模式确实生效了
**session-cap fallback 不降反升**3746% 3551%)。说明 v4 的本地 soft_cap 实际上** D 真实容量更乐观**——admit 进来后转身就 OOM统计成了 error 而不是 fallback
直接结果**direct-to-D 占比下降整体延迟全面变差**。P50/P90/P99 TTFT 都退步
### Direct-to-D 子集还是稳的KVC 真实价值仍在)
| Config | n | Lat P50 | Lat P90 | TTFT P50 | TTFT P90 |
|--------|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| baseline 8DP | 4381 | 0.66s | 3.65s | 0.094s | 0.256s |

| **v5 2P6D direct-to-D** | 1837 | 0.483s | 3.04s | 0.043s | 0.054s |
direct-to-D 的尾延迟和 TTFT v4 几乎完全一致端点决策开销可忽略**v5 的回退不是路径本身变慢而是更多请求被赶到 fallback**。
### Fallback 路径反而比 v4 更糟
| Config | n | Lat P50 | Lat P90 | TTFT P50 |
|--------|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| v5 1P7D session-cap fallback | 2027 | 6.38s | 17.47s | 4.49s |
| v5 2P6D session-cap fallback | 2253 | 3.13s | 11.25s | 0.89s |
由于 fallback 占比上升且这条路径本身就比 direct-to-D 慢一个数量级整体均值被拖累得更厉害
### v5 真正暴露的瓶颈D 的 KV pool 物理容量
admission 决策权交给 D 之后瓶颈从"replay 估得太死"变成"D 真的装不下"
- 80GB H100 × `mem_fraction_static=0.835` D 单卡 KV pool 100-150K tokens
- agentic context session turn footprint 50-100K
- D 上能并存的 session 数量本就 2-3 7 D 50 session 基本不可能
v4 cap=16 之所以"看起来好"部分是因为本地 soft_cap 没真的查 D free pool开了一堆**最终会失败** session统计成 errors 而非 fallback)。v5 把这部分洗成了"诚实的拒绝"——可靠性跃升的代价是看见了真实容量上限
### v6 应该针对什么
D 物理容量管理打开而不是再调 replay
1. **prefill backup 提早 release**已经加了 `release-after-transfer` 但可能还不够及时 P 上的 backup blocks 不要长期占用 KV pool
2. **priority eviction 策略调优**已开 `--kvcache-prefill-priority-eviction`当前 LRU 可能把 hot session 误踢需要按 session 命中频率/最近访问做加权
3. **chunked / streamed seed**不要一次 reserve 整个 prompt 的容量 chunk 分摊
4. **跨 D 的 session migration**当一个 D 满了但隔壁 D 空时主动迁移而不是直接 fallback P
5. **真正的多机 RDMA**单机 mooncake loopback errors 的根因之一上多机 + RDMA 才能让 prefill backup release 后的 KV transfer 真的稳
工程量1-3 SGLang 内部改 (`scheduler.py` + `session_controller.py`)4 需要 router 协议扩展5 是部署变更

## 经验教训
1. **policy 和 mechanism 是两个正交维度**——`--policy default` 不是"无脑默认值"它真的是 round-robin session 亲和性KVC 机制必须配 session 亲和的 policy
2. **不要无脑相信前一个 agent 的 RESULTS_SUMMARY**——v2 的诊断"local prefill bug"和实际 finish_reason"session id does not exist"完全对不上任何错误诊断必须用 finish_reasonexecution_mode 这些原始字段交叉验证
3. **bimodal 分布是 starvation 的强信号**——v3 数据里某些 session 100% 走快路径某些 100% 走慢路径几乎肯定是某种"先到先得"的资源竞争看到这种模式立刻去找硬编码 cap 或全局共享资源
4. **测量要看分组而非整体均值**——v3 整体 P50=1.5s 看似比 baseline 但拆开看 direct-to-D 子集 P50=0.495s 已经反超 baseline整体均值被 fallback 路径拖累 KVC 的核心价值是真实存在的
5. **errors 与 fallback 是同一类资源压力的两副面孔**——v4 " fallback + error "不是更优解是把容量超限的失败从"显式拒绝"伪装成"超时失败"。v5 把决策权交给真容量后fallback errors 这是更诚实的指标不要被 v4 fallback 数字误导当看到错误率和 fallback 率呈反相关时要警惕 admission 决策是否在说谎

# Refactor Plan v0极简版
**日期**2026-05-06
**目标**:用最小改动 + 轻量实验,验证 `docs/AGENTIC_FIT_ANALYSIS_ZH.md` 提出的结构性缺陷是否真实存在、影响多大。
**预算**8h GPU 时间(约 4-6 次 ~30-60 min smoke run
**KISS 边界**:不动 SGLang `scheduler.py` 主循环结构;不引入新 mooncake 协议;不实现 cross-D session migration不做 admission probe/commit 拆分;不动 LRU eviction 策略。
## 计划结论(与用户已确认的)
回审 plan-v0 时发现两个原 Phase 1 改动**都不是 bug**
- `_estimate_session_resident_tokens` 返回 full prompt 是设计如此——所有需要"增量"的 call site 都已经做 `target - current` 减法(`replay.py:1247-1254``:1393-1394``:1490-1491`)。
- `decode_resident_blocks` 不缩减只是浪费几 MB 内存,**不影响 routing 决策**SWE trace 的 hash_ids 是 session-uniquepolicy 仍能正确选 D
最终极简版只做一件代码改动(**加 backpressure**+ 大量 instrumentation。
## 唯一代码改动Backpressure 信号
### 改动点 1SGLang `admit_direct_append` 响应增加两个字段
文件:`third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/managers/io_struct.py``scheduler.py`
```python
@dataclass
class DirectAppendAdmissionReqOutput:
... # 已有字段保留
recommended_pause_ms: int = 0 # 新增
queue_depth: int = 0 # 新增
```
`scheduler.py:admit_direct_append` 末尾计算 hint
```python
def _compute_backpressure_pause_hint(self) -> float:
depth = len(self.disagg_decode_transfer_queue.queue)
if depth < 8:
return 0.0
return min(2000.0, depth * 100.0) # 简单线性
```
### 改动点 2replay 端按 hint 退避
文件:`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py`
- `DecodeResidencyState` 新增 `pause_until_s: dict[str, float]`
- `_query_decode_direct_admission` 解析响应里的 `recommended_pause_ms`,更新 `pause_until_s[server_url] = now + pause_ms / 1000`
- 在调 `_invoke_router` / `_invoke_decode_session_direct` 前检查 `pause_until_s[decode_url]`,若 `now < pause_until` 则 sleep 到该时刻
### 改动点 3新 CLI flag
`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/cli.py``benchmark.py`
```
--enable-backpressure # 默认 false保留 baseline 行为
```
### 改动点 4观测日志
每个 run dir 新增三个 jsonl
- `admission-events.jsonl`:每次 admission RPCtimestamp, session, D, can_admit, queue_depth, pause_ms, latency_s, available_tokens, evicted_session_count
- `backpressure-events.jsonl`:每次实际 sleeptimestamp, D, sleep_ms, queue_depth_at_signal
- `session-d-binding.jsonl`:每个 session 第一次 open 在某 D 时记录timestamp, session, D, turn_id

| **E5**(备选) | v5 baselinetime-scale=10**concurrency=4**,全 trace | 验证 Claim §1高并发是不是必要条件 | ~50 min |
4-5 个 run~3-5h。剩余预算给失败重跑/分析。
## 实验目标——回到 §1-§7 一一对照
| 文档 § | Claim | 由哪个 exp 证伪/支持 | 需要的指标 |
|---|---|---|---|
| §1 | Session 永久 pin + 容量盲选造成双峰 | 已有 E0 数据足够 | direct-to-D rate per session distribution |
| §2 | LRU 跟不上压力 | 已有 E0 logs 足够 + E1 看 backpressure 之后 trim/error 比例变化 | trim 事件数 vs OOM 数 |
| §3 | 没 backpressure 是雪崩源 | E0 vs E1 | KVTransferError 数、P99 latency |
| §4 | admission RPC 干扰 scheduler | 不在本轮实验范围(需要 admission probe 拆分才能验,不做) | |
| §5 | P-side 不感知 D 健康 | 已有 E0 logs 足够prefill-0 vs prefill-1 错误数) | per-P KVTransferError |
| §6 | (已撤回) | | |
| §7 | time-scale=10 失真 | E0 vs E2同 KVC不同 time-scaleE2 vs E3同 time-scaleKVC vs DP | latency 分布、direct-to-D rate |
## Final 实验报告交付
跑完后输出 `docs/STRUCTURAL_VALIDATION_REPORT_ZH.md`,按 §1-§7 每条给出:
- **Claim 字面**
- **数据证据**(哪个 exp、哪个 metric
- **结论**:成立 / 部分成立 / 推翻
- **影响量化**:数字差异
- **不确定性**N=1 风险、其他 confounder
## 不做的事KISS 边界)
| 想做但不做 | 理由 |
|---|---|
| 跑 N=3 重复 | 8h 装不下single-run 可看大方向 |
| 全 sweep 参数 | 只调 time-scale 和 backpressure 一个 boolean |
| 改 LRU eviction | 不在本轮范围 |
| Cross-D migration | 不在本轮范围 |
| Admission probe/commit 拆分 | 不在本轮范围 |
| P-side D-health routing | 不在本轮范围 |
| 修两个"非 bug"estimate / aging | 验证后非真实 bug |
## 预期失败路径
- **GPU 资源紧张**smoke trace 进一步压缩(前 8 sessions / 600 reqs
- **time-scale=1 跑超 1.5h**:截断到 600s 内能完成的部分
- **backpressure 配错**:先用 sleep_ms = depth * 100 简单线性;调不通就回滚到 0无 backpressure
- **SGLang patch 编译错**:所有 patch 在 io_struct.py 和 scheduler.py 的少量行内,可单独 git restore

---
## §1. Session 永久 pin 到 D + 容量盲选 → 极端双峰 ✅ 完全成立
### Claim
KvAwarePolicy 评分以 hash overlap 为主没有 D 容量项Session 第一次落到某 D 后被永久 pin导致大 session 在已满 D 上反复 admission 拒绝 session 在原 D 100% direct-to-D
### 数据
**(a) Session 永久绑定 3 rerun 一致**
```
run1: 52 sessions, avg distinct-D-per-session = 1.00
run2: 52 sessions, avg distinct-D-per-session = 1.00
run3: 52 sessions, avg distinct-D-per-session = 1.00
```
每个 session 在整个运行中只访问 **1 个** D worker3 次独立 run 完全一致。**不是巧合是结构。**
**(b) Direct-to-D 命中率呈极端双峰**
| Direct-to-D rate | run1 | run2 | run3 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| 0-20%饿死 | 15 | 18 | 16 |
| 20-40% | 7 | 6 | 7 |
| 40-60% | 11 | 7 | 9 |
| 60-80% | 5 | 6 | 4 |
| 80-100%顺利 | 14 | 15 | 16 |
中间态稀少两端拥挤
**(c) 3 run 一致饿死的 session session 大小强相关**
```
13 sessions starved (<20% direct-to-D) in ALL 3 runs.
avg peak input of consistently-starved sessions: 62043 tokens
avg peak input of consistently-lucky sessions: 31344 tokens
ratio: 1.98× — starved sessions are exactly 2× larger.
```
**13/52 = 25% 的 session 在 3 次独立 run 中都被饿死,且这些 session 的 peak input 恰好是顺利 session 的 2 倍。** 这排除了"运气"假说证实是大 session 在容量过载 D 上结构性失败
### 影响量化
- 25% session 几乎每个 turn 都走 fallback 路径相对 direct-to-D **TTFT 慢 100×、E2E 慢 6×**数据点fallback path mean lat ~3.5s vs direct ~0.5s
- 对应这些 session 的用户体验是"系统性糟糕"而不是"偶尔慢"
- **SLO 视角下 P99 完全由这 13 session 拉高**
### 结论
**完全成立**。修复方向不在本轮policy score capacity penalty + 允许 session D 迁移 D 端引入 hot session retract
---
## §2. D 端 LRU 只 evict idle session → 跟不上压力 ✅ 完全成立
### Claim
`scheduler.py:2040` `evict_idle_streaming_sessions_lru` 只能 evict "所有 req finished + streaming 模式" session高并发下 hot session 永远不 idleLRU 找不到东西可踢结果 D 顶到 100% 然后撞 mooncake transfer timeout
### 数据v5 baseline rerun run1
| D worker | Trim 事件 | KVTransferError | 峰值 token_usage |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| decode-0 | 9 | 0 | 0.99 |
| decode-1 | 43 | 4 | 0.99 |
| decode-2 | 16 | 153 | 0.97 |
| decode-3 | 37 | 29 | 0.99 |
| decode-4 | 28 | 90 | **1.00** |
| decode-5 | 30 | 93 | **1.00** |
**6 个 D 全部峰值 ≥ 0.97**其中 2 个直接顶到 1.00KV 池完全耗尽)。**LRU 触发 9-43 远不及 transfer 错误的 90-153 。**
decode-2 极端trim 16 vs error 153 = LRU 比错误慢 **9.5×**
### 影响量化
- run 累计 369 KVTransferError 6 D 之和
- 对应 ~8% 的请求失败率v5 errors 9/372/912 三次平均 ~430/4449 = 9.7%
- **每次 mooncake timeout 32s**—— P99 latency 直接贡献几十秒尾巴
### 结论
**完全成立**。修复方向不在本轮分层 eviction—— idle 外加冷 session retract按访问频率/时序加权Backpressure本轮代码只是把"D "的雪崩从"timeout 错误"转成"主动等待"**不是真正解决容量问题**。
---
## §3. 没有 D→Replay backpressure 通道 ✅ 成立(已实现修复)
### Claim
D transfer queue 32s timeout KVTransferError没有"D 过载请慢点"信号反向到 replayconcurrency 一直 32 不降
### 数据
- §2 369 KVTransferError 全部为 32s mooncake timeout日志中均为 `Failed to send kv chunk` `Decode instance could be dead`
- 错误集中在运行后半段按现有 `KVC_DEBUG_JOURNEY_V1_TO_V5.md` §v4错误均在 run 44.8% 之后开始累积
- 表明**前期 D 容量充裕时正常达到容量上限后所有后续请求集中失败**——典型无 backpressure 系统行为
### 修复(本轮已实现,待 GPU smoke 验证)
代码改动
1. `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/managers/io_struct.py``DirectAppendAdmissionReqOutput` 增加 `recommended_pause_ms` 字段
2. `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/managers/scheduler.py:admit_direct_append`基于 `transfer_queue_depth``retracted_queue_depth``token_usage_after` 计算 hint
```python
def _compute_backpressure_pause_hint(...):
if retracted_queue_depth > 0: return 1500
if token_usage_after >= 0.90: return max(200, min(2000, overshoot * 5))
if transfer_queue_depth >= 8: return min(2000, transfer_queue_depth * 100)
return 0
```
3. `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py`
- `DecodeResidencyState.pause_until_s: dict[str, float]`
- `_query_decode_direct_admission` 解析 hint 更新 `pause_until_s`
- 新增 `_wait_for_decode_pause`,在 `_invoke_router` / `_invoke_session_direct` 入口检查
4. CLI flag`--enable-backpressure`、`--backpressure-max-pause-s 2.0`(默认关闭)
5. 结构性日志:`structural/admission-events.jsonl`、`backpressure-events.jsonl`、`session-d-binding.jsonl`
### 预期收益pending GPU smoke E2 vs E1
- KVTransferError 应从 ~370 / 4449 跌到 < 50 / 4449
- P99 应改善(消除 32s timeout 尾巴)
- 整体 latency mean 可能**略升**(被强制 pause但 P99 应大幅降
- backpressure-events.jsonl 应显示 D-4 / D-5 累积大量 pause 事件(与 §2 数据吻合)
### 结论
**Claim 成立;修复已实现,待 smoke 验证**。注意backpressure 是**降级**机制,不是性能优化——它把"硬错误"换成"主动等待",整体 throughput 不会因此提升。
---
## §4. Admission RPC 与 scheduler 主循环耦合 ⚠️ 间接证据,本轮未直接验证
### Claim
`admit_direct_append` 进 scheduler 主循环遍历 session slotadmission RPC 频率 16+/s 时与 decode 抢调度。
### 现有间接证据
- `docs/V5_PROFILE_INVESTIGATION_ZH.md`:仅加 1Hz `/server_info` polling 就让 EXP2 errors 从 9 涨到 41546×但 v6 P0 三次 baseline 不开 polling 同样得到 372/912/396——**polling 不是唯一原因,主循环负载本身就敏感**。
### 本轮未做
- 没有"admission probe 拆 fast/slow"的对照实验。需要 SGLang 较深的改动(提供 lock-free snapshot不在 KISS 边界。
### 结论
**Claim 间接成立,本轮未直接验证**。Backpressure 实现里 admission RPC 的频率没有变(仍每个 turn 一次),只是结果会触发 sleep。如果这条 claim 成立,加 backpressure 后 admission RPC 数量大致不变但每次响应里的 `pause_ms` 会非零——**新增的 admission-events.jsonl 可在 GPU smoke 后用来直接验证此现象**。
---
## §5. P-side round-robin 不感知 D 健康 ✅ 成立
### Claim
`pd_router.py:_select_decode_index` 是裸 round-robin。任一 P 撞到 hot D 时反复失败,另一 P 完全不受影响。
### 数据v5 baseline rerun run1
| Worker | KVTransferError | "Decode could be dead" |
|---|---:|---:|
| prefill-0 | **367** | 361 |
| prefill-1 | **2** | 0 |
prefill-0 的请求量从 summary 看是 2225 vs prefill-1 的 2224——**请求量近乎对半,错误率差 180×**。
### 影响量化
- 失败请求集中在 P-0 → 某个 hot D 的链路上(日志中反复出现 `to 10.45.80.47:XXXXX`
- 单 P 的"死亡链路"贡献了 **99%** 的全部 KVTransferError
- 如果 P 选择能避开"正在和 hot D 死磕"的链路,**理论上可消除单 P 故障的雪崩效应**
### 备注
- 此现象**未在 v6 P0 的 3 次 rerun 中横向验证**——只有 run1 的日志可读。需要在新 sweep 的 prefill-{0,1}.log 上重复确认,避免 N=1 嫌疑。
### 结论
**单 run 数据成立,多 run 一致性未验证**。修复方向不在本轮router 选 P 时考虑 (P 当前 inflight transfer 数, 目标 D 健康度)。

## §6. 已撤回Replay 端 session footprint 估算膨胀
写计划时仔细看代码后撤回——`_estimate_session_resident_tokens` 返回 full prompt但所有需要"增量"的 call site (`replay.py:1247-1254`、`:1393-1394`、`:1490-1491`) 都已用 `target - current` 减法处理。**不是 bug**。
---
## §7. time-scale=10 把 inter-turn gap 压到 1/10 ✅ 完全成立
### 数据
```
原始 trace inter-turn gap (n=4397):
p10=1.6s p50=2.5s p90=7.8s p99=25.1s max=261s
time-scale=10 实际 replay gap:
p10=0.16s p50=0.25s p90=0.78s p99=2.5s max=26s
```
真实 agentic 用户/agent 在 turn 之间停 2-8 秒思考、打字、tool call、agent reasoning。time-scale=10 把这些窗口压到 0.16-0.78 秒——**人为消除了 D 的自然 idle 时间**,正好是 KVC 想利用的"session 短暂 idle 时 LRU 可以 evict、其他 session 可以 admit"机会。
### 测量学影响
- 所有 v3-v6 数据基于 time-scale=10
- 意味着所有"KVC 在 SWE 上输给 baseline"的结论**可能被 benchmark 放大了**
- §1 的 25% session 永久饿死现象,在 time-scale=1 下可能因为 D 有更多 drain 时间而显著缓解
### 本轮未做
- 没跑 time-scale=1 baseline。这是项目当前**最重要但缺失的验证**。
- Smoke sweep 脚本(`scripts/sweep_backpressure_smoke.sh`E3、E4 包含了 time-scale=1 的 KVC + DP 短 trace 对比,等 GPU 时跑。
### 结论
**Claim 完全成立time-scale=1 验证为 P0 待办**。
---
## 头条对比(同 trace、同硬件
```
8-way DP cache-aware (TP1):
errors= 0 | latency mean=1.426s p50=0.654s p90=3.609s
| TTFT mean=0.123s p50=0.093s p90=0.256s
KVC v5 2P6D (3 reruns, no polling):
run1: errors=372 | mean=3.50s p50=1.11s p90=8.65s | TTFT mean=2.13s
run2: errors=912 | mean=3.00s p50=0.94s p90=7.68s | TTFT mean=1.64s
run3: errors=396 | mean=3.42s p50=1.22s p90=8.43s | TTFT mean=2.07s
```
KVC 三次 run 全输 DP且差距远超 single-run variance
- Latency meanDP 优 **+110%**KVC 平均 3.30s vs DP 1.43s
- Latency P50DP 优 **+65%**KVC 平均 1.09s vs DP 0.65s
- TTFT meanDP 优 **+1500%**KVC 平均 1.95s vs DP 0.12s——慢 17×
- ErrorsDP 0 vs KVC 平均 ~560
**这是这个项目当前最严肃的事实**——所有 KVC 复杂度回报为负。

## 综合结论
按"是否结构性 + 影响大小"的二维分类:
| Claim | 结构性 | 影响 | 本轮验证 | 修复KISS 内) | 修复KISS 外) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| §1 Session pin + 容量盲选 | 强 | 大25% session 饿死) | ✅ 3 run 一致 | ❌ | capacity-aware policy + 跨 D 迁移 |
| §2 LRU 跟不上 | 强 | 大(每次 ~370 KVTransferError | ✅ 6 D 数据 | ❌ | 分层 eviction、hot retract |
| §3 无 backpressure | 强 | 中-大(消除 32s timeout 雪崩) | ⚠️ 已实现,待 smoke | ✅ **本轮交付** | |
| §4 admission RPC 干扰 | 弱-中 | 中 | ⚠️ 间接 | ❌ | probe / commit_evict 拆分 |
| §5 P-side 不感知 D 健康 | 中 | 中(单 P 错误率差 180× | ✅ N=1需 N≥3 复核 | ❌ | router P 选择带 D 健康反馈 |
| §6 estimate 膨胀 | | | ❌ 已撤回 | | |
| §7 time-scale=10 失真 | 强(测量学) | 大(可能颠覆所有 KVC vs DP 结论) | ✅ 数据明确 | ✅ 改 flag | |
### 最关键的两个 takeaway
1. **§7 time-scale=1 是当前项目所有结论的前置依赖**——必须先做。如果 time-scale=1 下 KVC 与 DP 接近,前面所有 v3-v6 的"KVC 输得彻底"诊断都需要重新解读。
2. **§1 + §2 是双胞胎结构性问题**——session 被永久 pin 在某个 D + D 不能 evict 已满 = 大 session 永久卡死。任何不动 policy + 不动 LRU 的修复(包括本轮的 backpressure只能让症状好看不能消除根因。

```
预算4 个 run × 30-60 min ≈ 3-4h GPU 时间。
按 §3 的预期E2 (KVC + backpressure) 相对 E1 (KVC baseline) 应有 errors 降 70%+P99 改善TTFT P50 持平或略升。E3 (KVC + backpressure @ time-scale=1) vs E4 (DP @ time-scale=1) 是验证 §7 的关键对照。
如果 E2 vs E1 的 errors 没有显著下降,说明 backpressure hint 公式调得不对(`_compute_backpressure_pause_hint` 阈值可调 §3 实际不是雪崩主因更可能是 §2 D-side LRU 才是)。

# SWE-Bench PD Hybrid Experiment Progress
## 实验目标
在单节点 8xH100 上复现 agentic-pd-hybrid 三种 serving mechanism对比 Qwen3.5-35B-A3B 在 SWE-Bench 500 instance agentic trajectory 上的性能。
## 硬件环境
- 8x H100 80GB (NVLink 互联, 2 NUMA nodes: GPU 0-3 / GPU 4-7)
- 无 RDMA/IB 设备
- Transfer backend: **mooncake TCP** (nixl UCX 因 pip 包缺少 CUDA 支持导致 segfault已放弃)
## 实验矩阵
| 实验 | Mechanism | Workers | GPU 分配 | Router | Policy |
|------|-----------|---------|----------|--------|--------|
| A | pd-disaggregation | 1P + 1D (TP4 each) | P: 0-3, D: 4-7 | Yes | default |
| B | pd-colo | 2 direct (TP4 each) | D0: 0-3, D1: 4-7 | No | default |
| C | kvcache-centric | 1P + 1D (TP4 each) | P: 0-3, D: 4-7 | Yes | default |
## 测试负载
- 源数据: `simm-swe-bench/outputs/20260416-205833-hicache-qwen35-verified-0-500/audit.jsonl`
- 39,417 lines (turns), 497 unique instances (sessions)
- 每个 instance 8-150 turns (均值 79.3)
- 转换为 agentic-pd-hybrid trace 格式: `outputs/qwen35-swebench-500.jsonl`
## 关键发现
### Transfer Backend 选择
- **nixl (UCX)**: pip 安装的 nixl_cu12 包自带的 UCX 库没有 CUDA 支持,导致 GPU memory registration 时 segfault。系统 UCX (/opt/hpcx/ucx) 有 CUDA 支持但因 RPATH 无法被 NIXL 使用。
- **mooncake (TCP)**: 可用。需要两处修改:
1. `third_party/sglang/.../mooncake_transfer_engine.py`: 从环境变量 `MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL` 读取协议,而非硬编码 `"rdma"`
2. `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/stack.py`: 当 `transfer_backend == "mooncake"` 且非 `force_rdma` 时,自动设置 `MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL=tcp`
### 代码修改记录
1. **`third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/distributed/device_communicators/mooncake_transfer_engine.py`**
-`"rdma"` 硬编码改为 `os.environ.get("MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL", "rdma")`
2. **`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/stack.py`**
-`_build_process_env()` 中添加: mooncake 非 force_rdma 时默认设置 `MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL=tcp`
3. **`scripts/convert_audit_to_trace.py`** (新建)
- 将 sibench audit.jsonl 转换为 agentic-pd-hybrid trace 格式
## 实验进度
- [x] Step 0: 环境准备 (uv sync, nixl/mooncake 安装)
- [x] Step 1: Trace 格式转换 (39,417 lines 验证通过)
- [x] Step 2: Smoke test (pd-disaggregation, mooncake TCP, 100 requests) — **通过**
- 100/100 requests, 0 errors
- Mean latency: 1.53s, P50: 0.77s, P90: 2.82s
- TTFT: mean 0.49s, P50 0.29s; TPOT: mean 4.7ms
- 91/100 cache hits
- [x] Step 3a: 实验 A 全量尝试 (39K reqs, 497 sessions) — **中止**
- Run dir: `outputs/swebench-exps/pd-disaggregation-default-20260426T171113Z` (无metrics,被kill)
- 前 90% 完成 ~80min (~8-10 req/s), 但尾部 D 侧 KV cache 98% 饱和
- 497 并发 session 争抢 D 侧 token 空间, mamba 80-93 sessions 无法 drain
- **教训**: 1P+1D (TP4) 无法支撑 497 并发 session, 需减少 session 数量或降低 concurrency
- [x] Step 3b: 实验 A — pd-disaggregation (52 sessions, 4449 reqs, concurrency=32) — **完成**
- Run dir: `outputs/swebench-exps/pd-disaggregation-default-20260426T202540Z`
- Trace: `outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl` (10% sample, 52 sessions)
- **结果**: 4449/4449 成功, 0 errors
- Latency: mean=1.66s, P50=0.97s, P90=3.64s, P99=7.68s
- TTFT: mean=0.45s, P50=0.34s, P90=0.88s
- TPOT: mean=5.2ms, P50=5.2ms
- Cache hit: 4199/4449 (94.4%)
- [x] Step 4: 实验 B — pd-colo — **失败: SGLang bug**
- Run dir: `outputs/swebench-exps/pd-colo-default-20260426T210129Z`
- **Bug**: `--disaggregation-mode null` (colocation) 下 Qwen3.5-35B-A3B 模型触发 token_to_kv_pool_allocator 内存泄漏
- 错误: `ValueError: token_to_kv_pool_allocator memory leak detected!`
- 两个 direct worker 在处理 ~5 个请求后均 crash (Scheduler exception)
- **结论**: 当前 vendored SGLang v0.5.10 不支持 Qwen3.5-35B-A3B 的 colocation 模式
- [x] Step 5: 实验 C — kvcache-centric — **完成 (高错误率)**
- Run dir: `outputs/swebench-exps/kvcache-centric-default-worker-admission-20260426T210800Z`
- 4390/4449 errors (98.7%) — admission control 过于保守
- 59 成功请求: mean latency 1.24s (比 pd-disagg 快 25%), TTFT 0.18s (快 60%)
- 详细分析见 `docs/SWEBENCH_EXPERIMENT_RESULTS.md`
- [x] Step 6: 结果对比分析 — **完成**
- 完整报告: `docs/SWEBENCH_EXPERIMENT_RESULTS.md`
## 启动脚本
- `scripts/run_exp_a_pd_disagg.sh` — 实验 A
- `scripts/run_exp_b_pd_colo.sh` — 实验 B
- `scripts/run_exp_c_kvcache_centric.sh` — 实验 C
- `scripts/convert_audit_to_trace.py` — Trace 转换
## 已知风险
1. Qwen3.5-35B-A3B TP4 可用 mem ~12GB/GPU (after model + CUDA graph),长 session (150 turns) 可能 OOM
2. mooncake TCP loopback 延迟远低于真实跨机,结果偏乐观
3. 原始 trace 时间跨度 ~6000s全量回放非常耗时

# SWE-Bench PD Hybrid Experiment Results
## 实验配置
- **模型**: Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (MoE, 35B total / 3B active), TP4
- **硬件**: 8x H100 80GB, NVLink, 单节点
- **Transfer backend**: mooncake TCP (loopback)
- **Trace**: 52 sessions, 4,449 requests (10% sample of SWE-Bench 500 instances)
- **时间压缩**: time-scale=10, concurrency-limit=32
## 结果汇总
### Experiment A: pd-disaggregation (baseline)
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Run dir | `pd-disaggregation-default-20260426T202540Z` |
| Requests | 4,449 / 4,449 (100%) |
| Errors | 0 |
| **Mean Latency** | **1.662s** |
| P50 Latency | 0.973s |
| P90 Latency | 3.644s |
| P99 Latency | 7.676s |
| Mean TTFT | 0.445s |
| P50 TTFT | 0.340s |
| P90 TTFT | 0.880s |
| Mean TPOT | 5.20ms |
| Cache Hit Rate | 94.4% (4199/4449) |
| Mean Cached Tokens | 27,794 |
| KV Transfer Blocks | 105,235 |
### Experiment B: pd-colo (colocation) — FAILED
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Run dir | `pd-colo-default-20260426T210129Z` |
| Status | **CRASHED** |
| Error | `token_to_kv_pool_allocator memory leak detected!` |
| Root Cause | SGLang v0.5.10 `--disaggregation-mode null` 与 Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (Mamba/GDN hybrid) 不兼容 |
| Requests | ~10 / 4,449 (0.2%) |
**结论**: 当前 vendored SGLang 不支持此模型的 colocation 模式。需要修复 token_to_kv_pool_allocator 中 Mamba 模型的内存管理。
### Experiment C: kvcache-centric (session-aware PD)
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Run dir | `kvcache-centric-default-worker-admission-20260426T210800Z` |
| Requests | 4,449 total |
| **Errors** | **4,390 (98.7%)** |
| Successful | 59 (1.3%) |
| Mean Latency (success) | 1.238s |
| P50 Latency (success) | 0.484s |
| P90 Latency (success) | 2.550s |
| Mean TTFT (success) | 0.179s |
| P50 TTFT (success) | 0.081s |
| Mean TPOT (success) | 4.70ms |
| Direct-to-D Sessions | 56 |
| KV Transfer (actual) | 196 blocks (vs 105,235 planned) |
**Execution Mode 分布**:
- `kvcache-centric` (failed): 4,390
- `kvcache-direct-to-d-session` (success): 56
- `pd-router-*` variants: 3
## 关键分析
### 1. pd-disaggregation (A) — 稳定可靠
- 100% 成功率0 错误
- Mean latency 1.66s 合理 (包含 P→D KV transfer 开销)
- 94.4% cache hit 说明 prefix cache 在 P 侧工作良好
- KV transfer 105K blocks = 主要开销来源
- **适合生产使用**
### 2. pd-colo (B) — 不可用
- Qwen3.5-35B-A3B 的 Mamba/GDN hybrid 架构在 `disaggregation-mode null` 下触发内存泄漏
- 这是 SGLang 的 bug不是 agentic-pd-hybrid 的问题
- **需要 SGLang 修复后重新测试**
### 3. kvcache-centric (C) — Admission 过于保守
- 98.7% 错误率说明 admission control 拒绝了几乎所有请求
- `kvcache-seed-min-turn-id=2` 过滤了 turn 1 的 seed正确行为
- 但绝大多数 turn 2+ 请求也走 `kvcache-centric` 模式后失败
- 可能原因:
- Worker admission 查询发现 D 侧没有对应 session 的 KV cache因为 turn 1 没有 seed
- D 侧 transfer queue 积压导致 admission 拒绝
- 成功的 56 个 `direct-to-d-session` 请求表现优异: TTFT 0.08s (P50), 比 pd-disagg 的 0.34s 快 4x
- **需要调优 admission 参数,或使用 `kvcache-seed-min-turn-id=1` 允许 turn 1 seed**
### 4. kvcache-centric 成功请求 vs pd-disaggregation 对比
| Metric | pd-disagg (A) | kvcache-centric (C, success only) | Delta |
|--------|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| Mean Latency | 1.662s | 1.238s | **-25.5%** |
| P50 Latency | 0.973s | 0.484s | **-50.3%** |
| Mean TTFT | 0.445s | 0.179s | **-59.8%** |
| P50 TTFT | 0.340s | 0.081s | **-76.2%** |
| Mean TPOT | 5.20ms | 4.70ms | -9.6% |
| Actual KV Transfer | 105,235 blk | 196 blk | **-99.8%** |
**当 kvcache-centric 成功时,性能提升显著:**
- TTFT 降低 60-76% (D 侧直接 append无需 P→D transfer)
- 端到端 latency 降低 25-50%
- KV transfer 减少 99.8%
## 后续建议
1. **修复 pd-colo**: 提交 SGLang issue 关于 Mamba/GDN 模型在 disaggregation-mode null 下的内存泄漏
2. **调优 kvcache-centric admission**:
- 尝试 `--kvcache-seed-min-turn-id 1` 允许 turn 1 seed
- 放宽 `--kvcache-seed-max-decode-transfer-queue-reqs` 阈值
- 使用 `--kvcache-admission-mode router` (shadow state, 不在 critical path)
3. **增加 D 侧内存**: 调整 `--mem-fraction-static` 给 KV cache 更多空间
4. **多 P/D 配置**: 测试 2P2D (TP2) 配置以增加并行度

# v5+Profile 调查报告(经 critic 审计修订版)
**日期**: 2026-04-29(原稿)/ 2026-04-29(经审计修订)
**实验配置**: Qwen3-30B-A3B (TP1)、单机 8×H100 80GB、trace = qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl (4449 reqs / 52 sessions)、time-scale=10、concurrency=32
**数据集**: `outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-v5-optD-profile/`(EXP1 1P7D + EXP2 2P6D,均加入 1Hz `/server_info` 时序采样)
**v5 baseline 对照**: `outputs/qwen3-30b-tp1-v5-optD/`(无 polling)
**研究问题**: v5 (Option D) 把 errors 从 9-10% 降到 0.2%,但 session-cap fallback 反而升到 46-51%。fallback / errors 究竟来自哪里。
> **本稿是经过 hostile audit 后的修订版**。原稿包含若干结论性错误(尤其是对 `held_tokens` 语义的解读颠倒、对 admission race 的过度归因、对 polling 副作用的轻视)。审计意见保存在本会话记录中,关键纠错以 ⚠️ 标注。
---
## TL;DR(已修订)
1. **真实容量**: 每张 D 的 `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.size = 92086 tokens (~92K)`。⚠️ 单 turn 真实 footprint **不是 50-100K**;`cached_tokens` p50=18K、p90=48K、p99=67K。原稿过度夸张。
2. **`other = capacity held available` 的解读已修订**: ⚠️ `held_tokens = sum(slot.kv_allocated_len slot.cache_protected_len)`(代码:`session_aware_cache.py:278-282`),即"slot 拿到但**不在 radix tree 保护范围内**的部分"。所以 **`other` 的最大单一组成很可能是 radix-tree 保护的共享前缀缓存(prefix cache)** —— 这通常是想要的,**不是病态浪费**。原稿把 `other` 全归因为 running batch + 在途传输是错的。
3. **`other` 的双峰分布属实**(p50 ≈ 0,p90 ≈ 80K),但单凭 `capheldavail` 无法判断这是 radix-cache 自然累积、还是 burst 工作内存。**P1 的细分 instrument 必须先做**。
4. **errors 与 `other` 在时间上相关**属实,但**不能被解释为因果**。同一时段的多个变量(请求并发、in-flight transfer、可用空间)都在变化;无法仅凭时序对齐推断"`other` 吃掉了腾出来的空间"。
5. **EXP2 2P6D errors 9 → 415**:⚠️ **polling 被升级为 leading hypothesis**,而非"无关"。证据:执行模式呈 ~1:1 替换(`session-cap-fb` 356 / `kvcache-centric` +406),且 `/server_info` 不是被动读 —— 它在 scheduler 主循环内遍历每个 session slot 计算 `is_idle`。需要 P0 三次 baseline 复跑去伪。
6. **errors 集中在 18 个 session 上**(总共 52 个),每个 session 钉死在 1 个 D。per-D error rate 差异**无法解释为 D 的结构差别**,本质是 18 个"坏 session"如何被路由分配。
7. **v5+profile 1P7D 的延迟优于 baseline** 完全在 single-run variance 范围内。N=1,**不能作为任何性能结论**。
---
## 1. 方法论
### 1.1 Instrument 改动
- `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py` 加入 `_query_pool_snapshot` + `_poll_pool_timeseries`,后台 asyncio task 以 `--pool-poll-interval-s 1.0` 周期访问每个 P/D worker 的 `/server_info`
- 每 tick 写一行 jsonl 到 `<run_dir>/d-pool-timeseries.jsonl`,字段:`{worker_id, worker_role, session_count, resident_session_count, held_tokens, available_tokens, capacity_tokens, idle_evictable_*, sessions[], kvcache_mem_gb, last_gen_throughput, ...}`
- 分析脚本:`scripts/analysis/analyze_pool_timeseries.py`
### 1.2 字段定义(已修订 ⚠️)
`/server_info``internal_states[0].session_cache` 的来源是 `session_controller.py:get_streaming_session_cache_status``tree_cache`(`SessionAwareCache`)。
| 字段 | 真实含义 | 备注 |
|---|---|---|
| `held_tokens` | `sum_over_slots(ceil(kv_allocated_len, page_size) cache_protected_len)` | **不是** "session 在 cache 中占用的全部";只统计**slot-private、未被 radix tree 保护**的部分 |
| `cache_protected_len` | radix tree 保护的共享前缀部分 | 多个 session 共享时只计一次 |
| `available_tokens` | `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.available_size()` | 全局 KV 池剩余空间 |
| `capacity_tokens` | `allocator.size` | 单 D 的总 KV 容量 = 92086 |
| `idle_evictable_tokens` | held 中可被 LRU 立即踢的部分(session 所有 req finished + streaming 模式) | |
因此:
- **`other = capacity held available`** 包含但不限于:
- **radix-tree 保护的共享前缀 token**(可能是大头) ⚠️ 原稿遗漏
- 当前 running batch 占用的 KV slots
- P→D 在途 transfer 的临时 buffer
- mooncake 已注册但尚未提交到 tree_cache 的块
- 内部碎片 / allocator 元数据
**含义**: 在补充 P1 instrument 之前,我们**无法分辨** `other` 中"radix-cache"(良性)和"burst 工作集 / fragmentation"(可能病态)的比例。
### 1.3 配置一致性与风险
- v5+profile 与 v5 baseline 唯一差别:加了 `--pool-poll-interval-s 1.0`(其余 CLI 参数完全一致)。
- **两次 run 时间间隔 ~21 小时**(2026-04-28 15:39/16:27 vs 2026-04-29 12:08/12:59)⚠️ 原稿误写 ~6h。同一台机,但 GPU 温度、PCIe、NUMA 分配未控制。
- **N=1 比较没有统计意义**;任何延迟差异 < 30% 都属于 single-run variance 合理范围

| pd-router-turn1-seed | 1.2% | 1.2% | 1.1% | 1.1% |
| **kvcache-centric (failed mode)** | 0.2% (9) | 0.1% (6) | 0.2% (9) | **9.3% (415)** |
| latency mean / p50 / p90 / p99 (s) | 5.18/1.59/14.7/26.1 | 4.21/1.18/11.3/28.8 | 3.49/1.31/9.1/24.9 | 3.23/1.11/8.4/20.3 |
**不要从此表得出"v5+profile 改进了延迟"** —— N=1 single run, EXP2 引入了 415 errors 相当于换了一种回退策略,延迟均值的下降很可能只是**剔除了慢路径请求**的副作用
### 2.1 EXP2+profile 415 errors 解构(已修订)
**Error type 分布**:
| Error Type | 数量 |
|---|---|
| `RuntimeError: generate stream ended before producing any token` | 407 |
| `ReadTimeout: ` | 8 |
**关键约束**:
- **414/415 error `kv_transfer_blocks > 0`**( metrics jsonl 验证)。这些请求**已经过了 admission,PD 传输已开始**,死于下游(server-side abort流被关生成阶段失败)。
- **`session_reused=False` 415/415**(全部是 seed,无一是 direct append)。
- **失败集中在 18 unique session**(top 5: 58080decode-5 66 errs / 70560decode-2 54 / 67200decode-4 40 / 59200decode-4 35 / 77280decode-2 33),每个 session 钉死在一台 D
**Per-D error rate(已修正百分比)**:
| Decode Worker | Errors | Total Reqs | Error Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| decode-0 | 56 | 758 | 7.4% |
| decode-1 | 5 | 561 | 0.9% |
| decode-2 | 141 | 858 | **16.4%** |
| decode-3 | 0 | 838 | 0.0% |
| decode-4 | 106 | 731 | 14.5% |
| decode-5 | 107 | 703 | 15.2% |
**不要解读为"decode-3 健康、decode-2 病态"**每个 session 钉死在一台 D,18 个坏 session 是否落到某个 D 是路由分配的随机结果。**当前 N=1 数据无法分辨"D 结构差异""session 分配运气"**。
---
## 3. D KV pool 时序分解(EXP1 1P7D 关键结果)
每张 D capacity=92086 tokens,运行 ~2696 (去掉前 10% 暖机):
| Worker | mean_other | p50_other | p90_other | max_other | mean_held | mean_avail |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| decode-0 | 13599 | 63 | 77189 | 90959 | 47124 | 31363 |
| decode-1 | 21242 | 0 | 76854 | 91074 | 37024 | 33820 |
| decode-2 | 39333 | 46841 | 82782 | 91996 | 17381 | 35372 |
| decode-3 | 30543 | 15864 | 81512 | 91511 | 9584 | 51959 |
| decode-4 | 32659 | 32365 | 72995 | 92082 | 7643 | 51784 |
| decode-5 | 31745 | 20366 | 86341 | 91211 | 11305 | 49036 |
| decode-6 | 24602 | 701 | 82291 | 91000 | 20967 | 46517 |
**已修订观察(去掉了原稿的过度归因)**:
- **`other` 是双峰**(p50 接近 0,p90 接近 80K,mean 14-39K)。这一形态属实
- **不同 D mean_held / mean_other 差异巨大** —— **不能直接归类为 "session-heavy" 或 "transfer-heavy"**,因为我们不知道 `other` radix-cache vs 工作内存的比例。**P1 的拆分必做**。
- 由于 `held` 不包含 radix-protected token,`mean_held` **不代表** D sessions 占用少 —— 只代表它们的"slot 私有部分";共享前缀可能很大,完全藏在 `other`
### 3.1 `other` 在某些时段持续高位(EXP1 decode-2 抽样)
| t (s) | held | avail | other | sess_count | last_gen_throughput |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 3 | 0 | 92086 | 0 | 0/0 | (未抽) |
| 273 | 65310 | 26776 | 0 | 1/1 | (未抽) |
| 543 | 15296 | 76589 | 201 | 1/1 | (未抽) |
| 812 | 0 | 92086 | 0 | 0/0 | (未抽) |
| 1082 | 52507 | 39579 | 0 | 1/1 | (未抽) |
| 1351 | 40985 | 30175 | 20926 | 2/2 | (未抽) |
| **1622** | **0** | 17703 | **74383** | **0/0** | **未核** |
| 1891 | 0 | 46376 | 45710 | 0/0 | (未抽) |
| 2161 | 0 | 27667 | 64419 | 0/0 | (未抽) |
| 2430 | 0 | 62224 | 29862 | 0/0 | (未抽) |
**t=1622 之后(约 30+ tick)持续 held=0/sess=0/other≈45-74K** —— 这种持久状态**不是 burst 工作集的形态**(burst 应是亚秒级)。更可能的解释包括:
- 一个 stuck request KV 块未能正常释放
- mooncake 注册但未 commit transfer buffer 滞留
- 某个 cleanup 路径未触发
**未在原稿中验证 `last_gen_throughput`**,该字段记录在 timeseries 但未对齐分析。**P1 时一并补**。
---
## 4. Errors 与 Saturation 时序相关性(EXP2 2P6D)
### 4.1 等数量 vs 等时间 decile(已修订 ⚠️)
原稿仅展示等时间分箱," 10 decile 系统恢复"的视觉错觉两种分箱并列:
| Decile | 等时间(reqs / errs / rate) | 等数量(reqs / errs / rate) |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| 1 | 567 / 0 / 0.0% | 444 / 0 / 0.0% |
| 2 | 268 / 0 / 0.0% | 445 / 0 / 0.0% |
| 3 | 517 / 0 / 0.0% | 445 / 0 / 0.0% |
| 4 | 189 / 0 / 0.0% | 445 / 0 / 0.0% |
| 5 | 662 / 3 / 0.5% | 445 / 3 / 0.7% |
| 6 | 417 / 27 / 6.5% | 445 / 28 / 6.3% |
| 7 | 486 / 39 / 8.0% | 445 / 42 / 9.4% |
| 8 | 612 / 177 / 28.9% | 445 / 114 / 25.6% |
| 9 | 486 / 128 / 26.3% | 445 / 119 / 26.7% |
| **10** | **245 / 41 / 16.7%** | **445 / 109 / 24.5%** |
**第 10 decile 不是"系统恢复"**等数量分箱显示 24.5% error rate, decile 8/9 持平原稿"恢复"叙事是分母 245 vs 612 造成的视觉假象
### 4.2 多重假设并列(已修订,不再独尊 admission race)
针对 EXP2 2P6D 415 errors 的可能机制(按当前数据强弱排序):
**H1: Polling 引发 scheduler 时序扰动(leading hypothesis ⚠️)**
- 证据:执行模式 1:1 替换(session-cap-fb 356 / kvcache-centric +406)。
- 证据:`/server_info` scheduler 主循环遍历 session slot,1 Hz × 8 worker 不是 0 开销
- 证伪条件:**P0(三次 baseline EXP2 复跑)如果都得到 ~9 errors,本假设确认**。
**H2: v5 自身存在 admission/transfer race**
- v5 baseline 也出 9 errors(均为 ReadTimeout),说明该 race baseline 已存在,profile 是被放大了
- 证据弱化:原稿提的 "admission race"(admit_direct_append snapshot 过期)与数据冲突 —— **414/415 errors 的 `kv_transfer_blocks > 0`**,他们都过了 admission,死在下游所以即便有 race,也不是发生在 admission ,而是 PD transfer / 生成开始前
**H3: 18 个特定 session 的工作负载结构性失败**
- 18/52 session 集中失败,每个 session 都是高 turn_id (median=70)。
- 这些 session 可能 input 特别长,或某种 trace 结构会触发某个特定路径
- 证伪条件:在 P0 三次 baseline 复跑后,看是否仍是同一组 18 session 失败
**H4: 单次运行的 GPU/PCIe 状态扰动**
- ~21 小时间隔,GPU 温度/clock 不同
- 证伪条件:P0 三次 baseline ~9 errors 排除单次扰动主导
**原稿独推 admission-race(H2)是错的**当前数据无法决定 H1-H4 哪个是主因
---
## 5. 1P7D vs 2P6D 全局对比
| Config | total decode ticks | other p50 | other p90 | other>30K freq | other>50K freq | other>70K freq | held>60K freq |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 1P7D | 18865 | 663 | 79751 | 36.9% | 27.9% | 14.8% | 15.5% |
| 2P6D | 14016 | 14459 | 77199 | 43.2% | 30.4% | 13.9% | 4.8% |
⚠️ **原稿"2P6D 的 p50_other 是 1P7D 的 22 倍 → 2P 推送压力更大"过度解读**。考虑分母效应:同一 trace 总工作量在 2P6D 由 6 张 D 分担 vs 1P7D 由 7 张 D 分担,**单 D 受到的压力本来就更大**,与 P 数无直接因果。这个数据只能说"2P6D 单 D 负担更高",**不能**得出"2P 在 transfer 上比 1P 更激进"。
---
## 6. 关键解读(已大幅修订)
### 6.1 v5 真实瓶颈尚不明确
原稿声称"瓶颈是 D 的 KV pool 在压力期被 'other' 占据"。⚠️ **此结论已撤回**。给定 `held_tokens` 实际是 slot-private(non-tree)部分,`other` 的最大单一成分**很可能是正常的 radix-tree 共享前缀**。"被 running batch / 在途传输占据"是**未经验证的猜想**。需要 P1 的细分 instrument 才能给出真瓶颈。
### 6.2 LRU eviction 的行为暂无可靠解读
原稿基于 mean_held 在压力期"暴跌"推断 LRU 在拼命踢。但 `held` 实际是 slot-private 部分,session 仍可能被 radix-tree 保留;`held` 减少不等于 session 被 evict,可能只是 `cache_protected_len` 比例变化。**P1 拆分前不下结论**。
### 6.3 v5+profile 1P7D "比 baseline 快"是单次巧合
两次 run 间隔 ~21 小时(原稿误写 ~6h),GPU 温度/PCIe 状态未控制。**N=1**,任何性能差异 < 30% 都不可声称
### 6.4 EXP2 2P6D 415 errors:polling 是 leading suspect(已升级)
原稿把 polling 列为"次要可能"。⚠ **现在升级为主嫌疑**:
- 执行模式 1:1 替换(session-cap-fb 356 / kvcache-centric +406)说明 polling **改变了 admission 走哪条路**
- `/server_info` 不是只读旁路 —— 调度内部循环 + 遍历 session slots 计算 `is_idle`
- **必须做 P0 三次 baseline 复跑去伪**;在那之前不能动 v6
### 6.5 "Other" 在 P 上 90% 不是 backup blocks
`prefill-0` SessionAwareCache **未启用**(replay 数据 `held=0`),P "other" 等于"P 全部 KV 使用量"(radix cache + running batch + 备份)。⚠ 当前数据**无法分辨** prefill-backup-policy 是不是真的释放了需在 P 加单独的 `prefill_backup_tokens` 字段
---
## 7. v6 行动项(已重排,以 P0 起步)
### **P0:验证 EXP2 errors=9 的可复现性**(最高优先级,先做)
**操作**: 3 v5 baseline EXP2( v5 配置,**不开 polling**),比较 error 分布
- 如果 3 次都得到 ~9 errors polling 被坐实为 415 暴涨主因。**必须把 polling 改成更轻量的形式**(如降低频率改成 streaming push或用 sidecar metrics 而非 HTTP poll)再做后续
- 如果 3 次都得到 ~400 errors polling 不是主因,415 v5 admission/transfer race + 单次 GPU 状态扰动的复合
- 如果 3 次结果分布很广( 9 / 50 / 400) run-to-run variance 才是主导,任何 single-run 比较失效
**预期工程量**: 1 个新 sweep 脚本(只跑 EXP2,3 )+ ~3 × 50 min = ~2.5h GPU 时间
**风险**: 0(纯重跑现有配置)。
### **P1:把 D 的 `other` 拆开打表**(P0 跑的同时并行做代码)
**操作**: SGLang `scheduler.py:get_streaming_session_cache_status` `session_aware_cache.py`,在返回的 dict 里加:
- `radix_protected_tokens` = `sum(slot.cache_protected_len for slot in slots)` ⚠️ 这是原稿盲区,critic 暴露的关键缺失字段
- `running_batch_tokens` = `sum(req.fill_ids size for req in running_batch.reqs)`
- `inflight_transfer_tokens` = `sum(req.size for req in disagg_decode_transfer_queue.queue)`
- `prealloc_tokens` = `sum(req.size for req in disagg_decode_prealloc_queue.queue)`
- `retracted_tokens` = `sum(req.size for req in disagg_decode_prealloc_queue.retracted_queue)`
- `last_gen_throughput`(已有)更细 —— `running_batch_size`(req )
**预期收益**: `other_unaccounted = capacity held available radix_protected running_batch inflight prealloc retracted` 应该接近 0剩余的就是真"病态"内存
**风险**: (纯只读 stat,不改 admission 逻辑)。
**工程量**: ~80 SGLang patch + 同步 replay.py `_query_pool_snapshot` + analyzer
### **P2:如果 P0 暴露 polling 是主因,改 polling 实现**
- 选项 A:把 `/server_info` 改成事件驱动 push(scheduler step 末尾把 stats 写到环形缓冲区,polling 只读不进 scheduler 队列)
- 选项 B:把 polling 频率从 1Hz 降到 5Hz/10s, P1 的拆分数据上验证够用
- 选项 C:scheduler 端加锁分离, stats 读和 admission 决策的临界区拆开
### **P3(条件性,等 P0+P1 数据)**:决定真正的优化方向
原稿 §7 5 条优先级在 `other` 模型纠正后**全部需要重新评估**。等真实拆分数据出来再排
---
## 8. 局限与 Confounders(已扩充)
1. `held_tokens` 语义在原稿被解读颠倒,引发 `other` 的因果归因错误(已纠正, §1.2)。
2. `other` 字段是计算所得且**未细分**,无法直接归因需要 P1 instrument 才能区分 radix-cacherunning batchinflight
3. EXP2+profile 415 errors baseline 9 errors **量级差异无法 deconfound**;polling leading suspect 但未证实。**P0 是必经步骤**。
4. **N=1** 的实验配置:任何 v5+profile vs v5 baseline 的延迟/失败差异都属于 single-run variance 合理范围,**不能作为方向性结论**。
5. trace single-shot,52 sessions × 4449 reqs 的特定结构可能放大某些路径
6. `capacity = 92086` `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.size`,来自 `mem_fraction_static`(未抽具体值),"H100 80GB 的物理上限"差距是 SGLang 的安全裕量
7. §3.1 t=1622 持续高 `other` 30+ tick 的现象 **未与 `last_gen_throughput` 交叉验证**;原稿"running batch + 在途传输"的解释是猜想而非证据
8. 18/52 失败 session 的特征(turn_idinput 长度prefix shape)**未做对比分析**;不能排除某个 session 类型本来就会触发某个固定 bug
9. polling 频率 1Hz 错过亚秒级 burst —— `other` 的双峰可能比测到的更剧烈
10. critic 指出 `pd-router-d-session-reseed` EXP1 (193 vs 152)、EXP2 (127 vs 152)的反向移动**未在原稿分析**,这是 admission/路由 决策的清晰信号,应该在 P1 之后回看
---
## 9. 后续指令(已更新顺序)
1. **P0**: `scripts/sweep_tp1_v5_baseline_rerun_exp2.sh`,3 EXP2 baseline, polling
2. **P1**: 同时改 SGLang `other` 真正拆开
3. 完成 P0+P1 后:
- 重跑 EXP2 一次 + instrument( polling),拿到 `other` 拆分
- 对比 baseline-rerun 三次的 errors 分布
- 决定是否回退 polling admission还是攻 specific 18 session 的工作负载特征
4. 任何 v6 代码改动(优化 admission / eviction / transfer)**必须在 P0+P1 之后**。

"""Analyze d-pool-timeseries.jsonl produced by --pool-poll-interval-s.
Answers v6's main question: where is D's KV pool actually spent?
For each decode worker, decomposes capacity over the run wall-clock into:
- resident_held_active = held - idle_evictable (sessions in active use)
- resident_held_idle = idle_evictable (sessions kept around but evictable)
- prefill_backup_or_other = capacity - held - available (everything else: backup blocks,
in-flight transfers, fragmentation)
- free_available = available
Also reports session residency churn (how many distinct sessions ever resided per D, and
how often a session bounced between workers — a strong starvation signal).
Usage:
python scripts/analysis/analyze_pool_timeseries.py <run_dir>
or
python scripts/analysis/analyze_pool_timeseries.py <pool_timeseries.jsonl>
Output: human-readable text. Add --json to also print a machine-readable summary.

"""Cache efficiency comparison: KVC 1P3D v2 vs 4-way DP CA.
Generates docs/figures/cache_efficiency.png — two-panel:
left: cache hit rate vs turn number (mechanism: affinity vs LRU)
right: ECDF of per-request uncached tokens (per-request impact)
Resolves the apparent paradox: KVC has 27% less total KV pool capacity
(3 × 92K = 276K vs DP 4 × 87K = 351K) yet achieves higher cache hit rate
(98.1% vs 96.8%) and lower mean uncached tokens per request (560 vs 952).
The left panel shows the mechanism: KVC's session affinity makes cache hit
rate grow with turn count (more cache accumulates on the pinned D), while
DP's hash + radix-LRU causes cache hit rate to decay through the middle
turns (other sessions' KV competes via LRU eviction).
The right panel quantifies the impact: KVC's uncached tokens are
concentrated near 0 (mean 560), DP's are spread (mean 952).
Aborted / errored requests are excluded.

"""Per-GPU utilization breakdown: KVC 1P3D v2 vs 4-way DP CA.
Generates docs/figures/gpu_utilization.png — two-panel:
left: per-GPU request count
right: per-GPU compute work (uncached prefill tokens + decode tokens, stacked)
The point of the figure is to push back on the naïve reading
"KVC's prefill GPU is idle 90% of the time, so KVC is using fewer GPUs."
By request count, the prefill GPU is indeed touched by only ~8% of requests.
By compute work, the prefill GPU bears comparable per-GPU load to each
decode GPU — it is a low-frequency, high-cost safety net for cache misses,
not idle capacity.
Work attribution:
KVC direct-to-D path: prefill happens locally on the assigned D worker
(append-prefill of `uncached_tokens` tokens).
KVC seed/reseed/fallback path: prefill happens on prefill-0
(full uncached_tokens), decode on assigned D.
DP: all work on assigned direct-N worker.
Aborted / errored requests are excluded.

Each trial in the input becomes one session. Each (human, gpt) pair within a trial
becomes one turn. The prefix at turn N is the concatenation of all (human, gpt) pairs
from turns 0..N-1 plus the current human message — this mirrors how agentic coding
agents grow context across calls.
hash_ids are derived per 24-token block via sha256 of the block's text + previous hash,

Method: scan in file order, count records whose `parent_chat_id == -1` (= a
session's turn 0), and write every record until the (N+1)-th such record is
seen. No RNG, no hashing — re-running on the same input produces a byte-
identical output. Used to derive matched subsets for paired sweeps (E1 vs E2)
without spending GPU hours on the full trace.

# Without this it falls back to /usr/local/cuda-13.0/bin/nvcc and the
# resulting .so links libcudart.so.13 which driver 570 (cu12.8 API) rejects
# with cudaErrorInsufficientDriver.
# - LD_LIBRARY_PATH must expose libcudart.so.12 for mooncake.engine (cu12 wheel)
# AND ~/cuda-12.8/lib64 for tvm_ffi compile-time linker searches.

# See docs/H200_DRIVER570_SETUP_ZH.md for the full rationale.

"""Two-process smoke test for snapshot_link D→P RDMA byte transfer.
Spawns scripts/snapshot_link_receiver.py via subprocess.Popen with stderr
piped to ``<tmpdir>/recv.stderr.log`` for post-mortem if something dies.
Sender (this process):
1. Spawns receiver child, waits for endpoint.json
2. Brings up own SnapshotPeer (no recv buffer), registers a send buffer
3. For each size: fill pattern, batch_transfer_sync_write, signal child,
wait for child's ack
4. Reads child's stdout (one JSON event per line) for verification
Pass = every size yields a child "verify" event with ok=true.
Usage:
bash scripts/setup_env.sh && uv run --no-sync python scripts/smoke_snapshot_link.py
Env (optional):
SNAPSHOT_LINK_HOST default 127.0.0.1
SNAPSHOT_LINK_IB default mlx5_60

"""End-to-end smoke for the SGLang snapshot link integration.
Brings up TWO SGLang workers on this node (one acts as D, the other as P)
with ``SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_ENABLE=1`` and exercises the three RPCs:
1. POST {P}/_snapshot/prepare_receive → P allocates kv_pool slots
2. POST {D}/_snapshot/dump → D RDMA-pushes session KV
3. POST {P}/_snapshot/finalize_ingest → P inserts into radix tree
To populate D's SessionAwareCache with a session, we first send a normal
streaming-session generate request to D.
After finalize, we send another generate request to P with the same prefix
and check whether the report says cached_tokens > 0 (cache hit).
This is a minimum-fidelity end-to-end smoke. It does NOT use the full
agentic-pd-hybrid reseed orchestration; that's the next commit.

# --kvcache-load-floor-bonus 200
#
# Pair-wise vs E1 (no KVC layer) and E2 (KVC v2 without bonus) on the
# exact same outputs/inferact_50sess.jsonl subset.
#
# Hypotheses being tested:
# H1 (load balance): D2 should now receive non-trivial bindings
# (E1/E2 had 0 — see E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md §5d).
# H2 (failure rate): mooncake batch_transfer_sync timeouts should
# stop firing because D0/D1 KV pool no longer
# saturates → no LRU thrash → control plane no
# longer starves. E2 had 1054 failures; expect
# ≤ E1's 85.
# H3 (TTFT): the 231 successful E2 reqs had TTFT p50 = 0.43s,
# well under E1's 88.6s. With the failure cascade
# removed, these should generalize to most reqs.

# Time-scale=1 validation sweep, downscaled to 4 GPUs:
# - KVC v5 1P3D × N=3 (new data, validates §1/§2 structural claims at real timing)
# - 4-way DP cache-aware × 1 (sanity baseline at same scale + ts=1)
#
# Goal: per docs/AGENTIC_FIT_ANALYSIS_ZH.md §7 / TEAM_REPORT §2.6 — all v3-v6 KVC
# data was at time-scale=10 (inter-turn gap p50 = 0.25s, vs real 2.5s). This run
# tests whether the gap structurally reverses any conclusion.
#
# CONFIG NOTE: Original experiments used 8 GPUs (2P6D / 8-way DP). This host has
# only 4 H100s available, so we downscale proportionally to 1P3D / 4-way DP.
# Cross-compare against existing 2P6D ts=10 data is confounded by *both*
# time-scale and capacity. Internal comparison (1P3D KVC vs 4DP) at ts=1 is the
# clean signal. §5 (P-side imbalance) is NOT testable here — only 1 P.
#
# Capacity ratio: 3D × ~92K tok = 276K KV pool vs 52 sessions × ~50K peak input
# working set ≈ 1.5M → ~5.4× overload (vs 2.7× in original 2P6D).
# Pressure is HIGHER than original; partly offset by ts=1 letting D drain between turns.

#
# v2 design (REFACTOR_PLAN_V1 + MIGRATION_V1_FINDINGS):
# (1) reset-on-success: clear (sess,D) reject counter on successful direct-to-D
# — eliminates blacklist-permanence bug → kills thrashing
