tim 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.

Agentic PD Hybrid

这个项目是在 SGLang xPyD 上做一个最小实验框架,用来判断:

面向 agentic coding workload 的 session-aware / KV-cache-aware P/D routing能不能降低端到端延迟。

更完整但仍然简洁的说明见 docs/PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md

当前做了什么

  • 启动单机 SGLang P/D 栈。
  • 回放 Ali coding agent trace并记录 request-level metrics。
  • 支持 defaultstickykv-aware 路由策略。
  • 支持 pd-disaggregationkvcache-centricpd-colo 对比。
  • 支持小 append、多轮 session 的 micro-benchmark trace。
  • 维护了基于 SGLang v0.5.10 的本地 patch放在 third_party/sglang

环境

统一使用 uv

uv sync

默认模型路径:

~/models/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct

当前主要测试环境是单机 8 GPU约束是 prefill + decode <= 8

常用命令

生成小 append trace

uv run agentic-pd-hybrid make-small-append-trace \
  --output outputs/smoke-hotcap-30k-1k-256.jsonl \
  --session-count 4 \
  --turns-per-session 3 \
  --initial-input-length 30000 \
  --append-input-length 1000 \
  --output-length 256

跑 live benchmark

uv run agentic-pd-hybrid benchmark-live \
  --trace outputs/micro-serveable-varturn-30k-1k-256-20260424T0756Z.jsonl \
  --output-root outputs/live-serveable-varturn-30k-1k-256-hotcap \
  --mechanism kvcache-centric \
  --policy kv-aware \
  --kvcache-admission-mode worker \
  --prefill-workers 1 \
  --decode-workers 1 \
  --prefill-gpu-ids 0 \
  --decode-gpu-ids 1 \
  --transfer-backend mooncake \
  --target-duration-s 2000 \
  --session-sample-rate 1.0 \
  --min-turns 2 \
  --time-scale 1 \
  --concurrency-limit 1000

只回放并写 metrics

uv run agentic-pd-hybrid replay \
  --trace path/to/trace.jsonl \
  --policy kv-aware \
  --mechanism pd-disaggregation \
  --router-url http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
  --output outputs/replay.jsonl

输出

每次 replay/benchmark 会写:

  • request metricsrequest-metrics.jsonl
  • 汇总结果:request-metrics.jsonl.summary.json

重点看:

  • E2E latency
  • TTFT / TPOT
  • execution mode
  • cached tokens
  • KV transfer blocks
  • error

维护约定

  • 项目代码改动:feat: / fix: / docs:
  • SGLang 改动:feat(sglang): ... / fix(sglang): ...
  • third_party/sglang 的基线是 clean SGLang v0.5.10 snapshot。
  • 不提交 outputs/、日志、__pycache__、虚拟环境。
