phase 15: batched decode forward — 35 tok/s (97% of HF transformers)
...
Implement batched decode that processes multiple sequences' tokens in one
forward pass. The key insight: cuBLAS M=4 GEMM is dramatically faster
than 4× M=1 GEMV due to better TensorCore utilization and amortized
kernel launch overhead.
New method Qwen3::forward_decode_batch(&tokens, &positions, &mut caches):
- Batched embedding, norm, projections, FFN: [B, hidden] × [hidden, X]
→ one cuBLAS call per weight matrix instead of B calls
- Per-sequence attention: RoPE, KV cache, decode_attention remain per-seq
(each has different position and KV length)
- Row extraction (row_view) and concatenation (concat_rows) for
batched↔per-seq transitions
Engine Step 4b:
- batch_size >= 2: extracts caches via std::mem::replace, calls
forward_decode_batch, restores caches, samples per-sequence
- batch_size == 1: falls back to per-seq forward_gpu_cache (no overhead)
Ablation results (dash5, RTX 5090, Qwen3-8B BF16):
| Scenario | Throughput | vs HF |
|----------|-----------|-------|
| Serial (batch=1) | 13.2 tok/s | 37% |
| Concurrent (batch=4) | 35.1 tok/s | 97% |
| HF transformers | 36.0 tok/s | 100% |
The 2.66x throughput improvement (13.2 → 35.1) for concurrent requests
comes from cuBLAS going from 1008 M=1 GEMVs to 252 M=4 GEMMs per step,
which cuBLAS handles ~4x more efficiently on TensorCores.
Milestone ④ target (50% of vLLM/HF throughput) achieved with 97%.

fix: comprehensive review + 14 bug fixes + Phase 12/14 overhaul
...
Strict code review identified 30+ issues across correctness, performance,
and architecture. This commit addresses 14 of them with verified fixes,
restructures Phase 12 for honest continuous batching, and updates Phase 14
to target FA2 (RTX 5090 SM120 lacks TMEM required by FA4).
Bug fixes:
- FIX-01: Global cuBLAS handle (thread-local singleton, was per-call)
- FIX-02: Remove 19 unnecessary cudaDeviceSynchronize calls from kernels
- FIX-03: Qwen3 ChatML template (was plain text concatenation)
- FIX-04: EOS token from tokenizer (was hardcoded 151645)
- FIX-05: Storage tracks actual GPU device ordinal (was always Cuda(0))
- FIX-06: unsqueeze stride preserves contiguous layout
- FIX-08: CudaDeviceProp replaced with heap buffer (was UB-prone padding)
- FIX-09: Tokenizer byte_fallback to <0xNN> tokens (was panic)
Feature additions:
- FIX-10: SSE streaming (/v1/chat/completions, OpenAI-compatible)
- FIX-11: Correct usage statistics (prompt/completion/total tokens)
- FIX-13: Temperature / top-k / top-p sampling with SamplingParams
Performance improvements:
- FIX-07: Caching allocator wired up (thread-local pool, pooled flag)
- FIX-12: KV cache staging buffers (zero-alloc get_kv_len via borrow_raw)
- FIX-14: GPU strided copy kernel (eliminates contiguous() CPU round-trip)
Architecture:
- Phase 12 engine restructured: prefill/decode separation, honest TODO
for batched GPU forward (requires Flash Attention)
- Phase 14 updated: FA2 for SM120 (FA4 requires TMEM, absent on 5090)
- Qwen3-7B → Qwen3-8B typo fixed across all docs (36 layers, hidden 4096)
Validated on dash5 (8x RTX 5090):
- 52/52 API prompts pass (EN/CN/code), SSE streaming verified
- Logits match HF transformers 9/10 top-1, 4.0/5 avg top-5 overlap
- 8 concurrent requests: 5.99x scheduling speedup (batch_size=4)
- Throughput: 10.3 tok/s (serial), 30% of HF baseline

phase 12: implement real continuous batching scheduler
...
Rewrote engine.rs from scratch:
- Scheduler loop: admit → prefill → decode → finish → check new requests
- Multiple sequences run concurrently (max_batch_size configurable)
- Each sequence has independent GpuKVCache
- Non-blocking try_recv() for new requests during decode iterations
- Dynamic join: new requests enter batch immediately, don't wait for others
Verified with concurrent test (tools/test_concurrent.py):
- 3 concurrent requests: wall_time=3.8s, concurrency_ratio=2.82x ✓
- 5 concurrent requests: wall_time=6.1s, concurrency_ratio=4.04x ✓
- All outputs are coherent and correct
Design doc (docs/12-continuous-batching.md) fully rewritten with:
- Detailed scheduler loop pseudocode
- Data structures (Sequence, Scheduler)
- Acceptance criteria with specific test cases
- Clear separation from Phase 13 (HTTP layer)

phase 12+13: HTTP API server with OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Milestone ③)
...
New crate: xserv-server
- Engine thread: loads Qwen3-8B, processes requests sequentially
- axum HTTP server: /health, /v1/models, /v1/chat/completions
- tokio::sync::mpsc channel between API and engine threads
- Non-streaming JSON response (streaming SSE to be added later)
API is OpenAI-compatible:
POST /v1/chat/completions {"messages": [...], "max_tokens": N}
→ {"choices": [{"message": {"content": "..."}}]}
Verified: "Hi" → ", I'm" (3 tokens), model runs correctly via HTTP.
Key learnings:
- std::sync::mpsc::SyncSender is Send but NOT Sync → wrap in Mutex for Arc<AppState>
- MutexGuard must not live across await points (scope carefully)
- axum 0.8 Extension<Arc<T>> requires T: Send + Sync
