tools: single-stream decode benchmark vs llama.cpp

xserv_vs_llama.py runs each server one at a time on the same GPUs (drains VRAM
between), streams identical prompts through /v1/chat/completions, and reports
median TTFT/TPOT/throughput. Counts llama's reasoning_content as real decode
tokens so the gpt-oss CoT is measured fairly.

+# xserv
+
+> 从零用 **Rust + CUDA** 构建的 LLM 推理引擎，目标是吃透 LLM Serving 全栈技术。
+
+xserv 不依赖 PyTorch / vLLM / TensorRT 等现成框架，自己实现了张量抽象、CUDA kernel、
+分词器、模型前向、KV cache、调度器和 OpenAI 兼容的 HTTP 服务。当前在单张 RTX 5090 上可以
+跑通 **Qwen3-8B**（BF16），并提供一套与 **llama.cpp** 对比正确性和性能的标准 benchmark。
+
+## 现状一览
+
+- **模型**：GPT-2（124M）、Qwen3-8B（BF16）
+- **性能**（RTX 5090，Qwen3-8B BF16，贪心解码，单流）：约 **56 tok/s**，约为 HF transformers 的 1.4×、llama.cpp 的 ~0.6×
+- **精度**：在 AIME 2025 / GSM8K 上与 llama.cpp 同权重对比基本持平（数值保真度验证通过）
+- **服务**：OpenAI 兼容 `/v1/chat/completions`，支持 SSE 流式输出
+- **关键能力**：自写 GEMM / Flash-Attention 2(SM120) / Paged-Attention kernel、
+  分页 KV cache（含 **CPU 换出/换入** 弹性显存）、连续批处理（continuous batching）、
+  CUDA Graph 解码、按显存自适应的 KV 池
+
+> 这是一个以学习为主的项目，逐 Phase 推进，每步都做数值/端到端验证。

+
+## 环境要求
+
+- **GPU**：NVIDIA，计算能力 SM120（RTX 5090 / Blackwell）。其它架构需调整 `CUDA_ARCH`。
+- **CUDA Toolkit**：12.9（`nvcc` 需在 `PATH`，构建 `.cu` 依赖它）
+- **Rust**：edition 2024（建议较新的 stable 工具链）
+- **模型**：HuggingFace 目录格式（含 `config.json`、`tokenizer.json`、`*.safetensors`）
+
+## 构建
+
+```bash
+export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-12.9
+export PATH=$CUDA_HOME/bin:$PATH
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+如果本地没有 GPU/CUDA，可用远端构建脚本把代码同步到带卡的机器上构建/运行/测试：
+
+```bash
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh build      # 远端 cargo build --release
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh test       # 远端 cargo test
+```
+
+（远端主机、目录、模型路径在 `tools/sync-and-build.sh` 顶部配置。）
+
+## 基本用法
+
+### 1. 启动 HTTP 服务（OpenAI 兼容）
+
+```bash
+./target/release/xserv-server /path/to/qwen3-8b \
+    --port 8080 \
+    --max-batch 4 \
+    --max-seq-len 8192 \
+    --swap-space-gb 8
+```
+
+参数说明：
+
+| 参数 | 含义 | 默认 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `--port` | 监听端口 | 8080 |
+| `--max-batch` | 解码批大小（并发上限） | 4 |
+| `--max-seq-len` | 单序列最大长度 | 2048 |
+| `--swap-space-gb` | KV 换出到 CPU 的 pinned 内存大小（0 关闭） | 8 |
+
+请求示例（流式）：
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "qwen3-8b",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "用一句话解释什么是注意力机制"}],
+    "max_tokens": 256,
+    "temperature": 0,
+    "stream": true
+  }'
+```
+
+其它端点：`GET /health`、`GET /v1/models`。
+
+### 2. 命令行推理
+
+```bash
+# 单轮生成
+cargo run --release --bin xserv-cli -- /path/to/qwen3-8b --max-tokens 256
+
+# 交互式多轮对话
+cargo run --release --bin xserv-chat -- /path/to/qwen3-8b
+```
+
+### 3. 单机性能基准
+
+```bash
+# 输出每个 prompt 的 TTFT / TBT / TPOT（JSON）
+cargo run --release --bin bench-qwen3 -- /path/to/qwen3-8b --gen-tokens 64 [--cuda-graph]
+```
+
+## 与 llama.cpp 对比 benchmark
+
+`tools/bench/` 提供一套一键对比套件，把 xserv 和 **llama.cpp**（同一份 BF16 权重）放在
+相同负载下，黑盒通过 OpenAI API 对比：
+
+- **性能**：TTFT、TPOT、吞吐（单流 + 不同并发）
+- **精度**：AIME 2025、GSM8K（标准数据集，exact-match 评分）
+
+```bash
+# 一次性准备（需联网的机器）：拉取 llama.cpp 子模块 + 下载数据集
+git submodule update --init third_party/llama.cpp        # 固定在 tag b9371
+HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com python3 -m tools.bench.fetch_datasets
+
+# 一键对比（构建 llama.cpp + 转 GGUF + 构建 xserv + 跑两套 + 出报告）
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh bench -- --max-seq-len 8192 --quality-limit 50
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh fetch-bench-out
+# 报告产物：bench-out/comparison-<时间戳>.{md,json}
+```
+
+设计细节见 `docs/16-llama-cpp-comparison.md`，结果报告见 `docs/benchmarks/llama-cpp-comparison.md`。
+
+## 文档
+
+- `docs/00-roadmap.md`：总体路线图与各 Phase 设计
+- `docs/01..15-*.md`：CUDA FFI / Tensor / GEMM / Attention / KV cache / 性能优化等每个 Phase 的设计文档
+- `docs/16-llama-cpp-comparison.md`：llama.cpp 对比基准的设计
+- `docs/17-tensor-parallelism.md`：张量并行（TP）设计
+- `docs/18-pipeline-parallelism.md`：流水线并行（PP）设计
+- `docs/benchmarks/`：各阶段的 benchmark 报告（含 `pp-sweep.md`）
+
+## 多卡并行（TP / PP）
+
+单机多卡，复用 NCCL（crate `xserv-distributed`）。两种切法正交、二选一：
+
+- **张量并行 `--tp N`**：按 head / 中间维切每一层，层内用 AllReduce 聚合（每 token `2·层数` 次）。
+- **流水线并行 `--pp N`**：按层切成 N 段，相邻段间用 NCCL **P2P** 传 hidden state（每 token 仅 `N-1` 次），
+  通信量远小于 AllReduce，对无 NVLink 的 PCIe 更友好。
+
+```bash
+# 组内 GPU 0-3：4 卡张量并行 / 4 卡流水线并行
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 ./target/release/xserv-server /path/to/qwen3-8b --tp 4
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 ./target/release/xserv-server /path/to/qwen3-8b --pp 4
+```
+
+**PP 实测**（dash5，Qwen3-8B BF16，单流贪心；每卡显存为权重+最小 KV 池）：
+
+| 配置 | TTFT | TPOT | tok/s | 每卡显存 |
+|------|------|------|-------|----------|
+| 单卡 | 33ms | 17.4ms | 57.5 | 24.0 GB |
+| PP=2 | 36ms | 18.1ms | 55.3 | 11.6 / 13.6 GB |
+| PP=4 | 36ms | 17.9ms | 55.8 | 7.3 / 5.3 / 5.3 / 9.4 GB |
+
+**质量对比**（AIME 2025 30 题 + GSM8K 30 题，贪心，xserv 在 GPU 0-3、llama.cpp 在 GPU 4-7 并行）：
+
+| 引擎 | PP | AIME | GSM8K |
+|------|----|------|-------|
+| xserv | 1/2/4 | 8 / 7 / 7 (/30) | 29/30 (96.7%) 全部一致 |
+| llama | 1/2/4 | 7 / 7 / 7 (/30) | 29/30 (96.7%) 全部一致 |
+
+正确性：hidden state 跨段是 **bit-exact BF16 P2P 拷贝**，PP=4 输出与单卡逐字节一致（用「单卡×2 vs
+PP=4×2」对照确认——单卡自身因 cuBLAS 非确定性 run-to-run 会变，而 PP=4 可复现且落在某次单卡轨迹上）。
+GSM8K 12 个格子全是 29/30，xserv 与 llama.cpp 完全一致；AIME 的 ±1 是长生成下贪心对 GEMM 抖动的敏感，
+非 PP 或引擎效应。**收益在显存**（每卡权重+KV ≈ 1/N）；v1 为串行流水线，单流 TPOT 基本持平、不优于单卡，
+真正的吞吐提升需后续做 microbatch / 1F1B 重叠。完整数据见 `docs/benchmarks/pp-sweep.md`。
+
+## 路线图（节选）
+
+已完成 Phase 0–18：CUDA 基础设施 → Tensor → GEMM → Transformer kernels → Attention →
+模型加载 → 分词器 → GPT-2 → KV cache → Qwen3-8B → Paged Attention → 连续批处理 →
+HTTP API → Flash Attention 2 → 性能优化 → **张量并行（TP）** → **流水线并行（PP）**；
+并加入了 **llama.cpp 对比基准** 与 **KV CPU 换出** 等基础设施。
+
+后续方向：PP microbatch/1F1B 流水线重叠（吞吐收益）、2D TP×PP、投机解码、量化（FP8 / INT8）、多模态。

+//! Layer-wise split: stage `s` holds layers `[s*L, (s+1)*L)`. Stage 0 owns the
+//! token embedding and acts as the coordinator (scheduler + tokenizer + response
+//! sender + stop logic); the last stage owns `norm`/`lm_head` and does sampling.
+//! Hidden states are handed off stage->stage via NCCL P2P (`PpContext`); the
+//! sampled token id (a single u32) is returned last-stage -> stage0 over an
+//! in-process channel (same process, so no NCCL needed for that).
+//!
+//! v1 is serial: one request at a time, one token per step, the pipeline is
+//! filled and drained each step (stage0's decode step t+1 depends on the token
+//! the last stage sampled at step t). This gives correctness + per-GPU memory
+//! savings; throughput via microbatch/1F1B overlap is future work

+# Phase 9: KV Cache + Autoregressive Generation — Design Document
+
+## Goal
+
+实现 KV Cache，将 decode 从每步 full forward (O(S²)) 降为增量计算 (O(S))。这是最大的单点性能提升。
+
+## 核心变化
+
+### Before (no cache)
+```
+每生成一个 token:
+  forward(all_tokens)  → 重新计算所有层的 Q/K/V/attention
+  开销: O(S²) attention per step, S 递增
+```
+
+### After (with cache)
+```
+Prefill:
+  forward(prompt_tokens)  → 计算并缓存所有层的 K/V
+  
+Decode (per token):
+  forward(last_token_only) → 只计算新 token 的 Q/K/V
+  Q: [1, H, 1, D]          → 新 token 的 query
+  K: append to cache        → cache 变为 [1, H, S+1, D]
+  V: append to cache
+  attention: Q @ K_cache^T  → [1, H, 1, S+1], O(S) not O(S²)
+```
+
+## KVCache 数据结构
+
+```rust
+pub struct KVCache {
+    k: Vec<Tensor>,  // per layer, shape [1, num_heads, current_len, head_dim]
+    v: Vec<Tensor>,
+    len: usize,      // current sequence length
+}
+```
+
+## Forward Pass 变化
+
+模型需要两种 forward 模式:
+1. **prefill(tokens)**: 处理完整 prompt，填充 KV cache
+2. **decode(token, cache)**: 处理单个 token，读写 KV cache
+
+## 实现策略
+
+为了最小化改动，在 GPT-2 forward 中加入可选的 `&mut KVCache` 参数：
+- cache=None → 现有行为（full forward）
+- cache=Some → prefill 或 decode 模式
+
+CPU round-trip 问题暂不修复（Phase 15），先让 KV cache 逻辑正确。
+
+## Test Plan
+
+- [x] KV cache vs no-cache: 50/50 bit-identical output
+- [x] Benchmark: 18x decode speedup (407ms → 22ms TBT)
+- [x] 50 prompt validation: 40/50 vs HF (10 are FP divergence, gap 0.04-0.56)
+
+## Takeaways
+
+1. **KV cache 数据布局是核心难点**：初始实现直接 append flat bytes 导致 head 维度交错错误。正确做法：per-head 独立存储，reconstruct 时按 `[1, H, S, D]` layout 组装。这是一个非常容易犯的 layout bug，调试时输出看起来"几乎对"但不完全对。
+
+2. **18x 提速 > 理论预期**：理论上 KV cache 将 decode 从 O(S²) 降到 O(S)，对 S=20-25 的序列预期 ~20x 提速。实测 18x 符合预期。TTFT 也从 400ms 降到 24ms，因为 prefill 只跑一次而不是每步重跑。
+
+3. **xserv vs HF 的 10 个 mismatch 不是 bug**：logit gap 仅 0.04-0.56（在 -80 到 -140 的 logit 值上），是不同 CUDA kernel 实现间的浮点累积误差导致 argmax 翻转。重要验证：**xserv KV-cache vs xserv no-cache 是 50/50 完全一致的**——证明 KV cache 实现本身无误。
+
+4. **CPU round-trip 仍是主要瓶颈**：KV cache 的 per-head 数据存在 CPU Vec 中，每步 decode 都要重新组装成 GPU tensor。这意味着每步仍有 24 次 GPU→CPU→GPU 传输（12 层 × 2 KV）。Phase 15 需要将 KV cache 直接放在 GPU 上。

+
+**关键**: Qwen3-8B 必须用 BF16 才能在单张 5090 (32GB) 上运行。当前 GPT-2 用 FP32，需要支持 BF16 forward pass。
+

+
+1. 下载 Qwen3-8B 模型 (BF16, ~14GB)
+2. 实现 Qwen3 模型结构 (qwen3.rs)
+3. 支持 BF16 forward pass (linear_transpose for [out, in] weights)
+4. 实现 GQA (K/V repeat in split)
+5. 集成 RoPE + RMSNorm + SwiGLU
+6. 验证输出

+- [x] 英文: "The meaning of life is" → "to be happy"
+- [x] 中文: "请用中文回答：1+1等于几？" → "1加1"
+- [x] 61/61 单元测试无回归
+- [x] GPT-2 benchmark 性能无回归
+
+## Takeaways
+
+1. **Qwen3 实际是 8B，不是 7B**：modelscope 上的 `Qwen/Qwen3-8B` 有 36 层 × hidden 4096 × 32 heads，参数量约 8B。BF16 权重 ~15.5GB，单张 5090 (32GB) 可以运行。
+
+2. **QK Normalization 是 Qwen3 的新特性**：每层有 `q_norm` 和 `k_norm` (shape [head_dim])，对 Q 和 K 做 per-head RMSNorm。这在 attention score 的数值稳定性上很重要——没有 QK norm 会导致 attention score 爆炸。
+
+3. **attention_bias=false**：Qwen3 的 Q/K/V/O projection 没有 bias。这和 GPT-2 (有 bias) 不同。需要在模型代码中条件处理。
+
+4. **Tokenizer 的 byte-to-unicode 映射 bug**：GPT-2 和 Qwen3 都使用同一套 byte-to-unicode 映射（printable ASCII identity，其余 68 bytes shifted to U+0100+）。初始实现中 `unicode_to_byte` 的 shifted 范围转换错误（直接 `u - 0x100` 而非查表），导致中文输入时 UTF-8 bytes 无法正确映射。修复：用 `OnceLock` 缓存反向映射表。
+
+5. **Weight layout [out, in] vs [in, out]**：GPT-2 的 Conv1D 存为 [in, out]，计算 `x @ W`；Qwen3 的 Linear 存为 [out, in]，计算 `x @ W^T`。`linear_t` 函数通过 `weight.transpose(0,1).contiguous()` 处理。
+
+6. **RoPE 的 tensor layout 不匹配**：RoPE kernel 期望 [S, H, D]，但 attention 需要 [1, H, S, D]。需要在 RoPE 前后做 transpose。这引入了额外的 CPU round-trip（因为 transpose+contiguous 经过 CPU）。
+
+7. **GQA repeat_kv 的实现**：每个 KV head 服务 `num_heads/num_kv_heads` 个 Q head。在 CPU 上做数据复制（repeat），简单但每步 decode 都要做。后续应在 attention kernel 中直接支持 GQA 索引，避免数据复制。

+# Phase 11: GPU-Resident KV Cache — Design Document
+
+> **注意**: 原计划为 "Paged Attention + KV Cache Manager"，实际实现为 GPU 连续预分配 KV cache（非 paged）。Paged allocation 留待后续优化。
+
+## Goal
+
+将 KV cache 从 CPU Vec 迁移到 GPU，消除每步 decode 的 CPU round-trip（当前 KV cache 最大性能瓶颈之一）。
+
+## 当前问题
+
+每步 decode 的 KV cache 路径：
+```
+GPU tensor (K_new) → CPU (per-head Vec append) → reconstruct → CPU tensor → GPU tensor
+```
+这涉及 2 次 GPU↔CPU 拷贝 × 36 层 × 2(K,V) = 144 次 transfer/token。
+
+## 目标设计
+
+KV cache 直接存在 GPU 上，decode 时只做 GPU→GPU append：
+```
+GPU tensor (K_new) → GPU KV cache (in-place append, no CPU)
+```
+
+## 实现方案
+
+### GPU KV Cache（简化版，非 paged）
+
+先实现连续分配的 GPU KV cache（预分配 max_seq_len），消除 CPU round-trip。Paged allocation 留待后续优化。
+
+```rust
+pub struct GpuKVCache {
+    // 预分配: [num_layers, 2, num_kv_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim] on GPU
+    k_caches: Vec<Tensor>,  // per layer: [1, num_kv_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim]
+    v_caches: Vec<Tensor>,
+    seq_len: usize,         // 当前已填充的长度
+    max_seq_len: usize,
+}
+```
+
+### Append 操作
+
+用 cudaMemcpy D2D 将新 K/V 写入 cache 的正确偏移位置：
+```
+k_cache[layer][0, :, seq_len:seq_len+new, :] = k_new[0, :, :, :]
+```
+
+### 读取操作
+
+不需要拷贝——直接用 view/slice 返回 [0, :, 0:seq_len, :] 的 GPU tensor。
+
+## 需要的新功能
+
+1. Tensor slice 支持（view into sub-range of a dimension）
+2. GPU D2D copy at offset（写入 cache 指定位置）
+3. 去掉 Qwen3/GPT-2 forward 中的 CPU round-trip KV cache 路径
+
+## Test Plan
+

+
+pub struct Scheduler {
+    waiting: VecDeque<Sequence>,
+    running: Vec<Sequence>,
+    max_batch_size: usize,             // 最大并发请求数
+    next_seq_id: u64,
+}
+```
+
+### 调度循环（Engine 主循环）
+
+```rust
+loop {
+    // Step 1: 回收已完成的 sequence
+    running.retain(|seq| seq.status != Finished);
+
+    // Step 2: Admit 新请求（如果 running < max_batch_size）
+    while running.len() < max_batch_size {
+        if let Some(seq) = waiting.pop_front() {
+            running.push(seq);
+        } else {
+            break;
+        }
+    }
+
+    if running.is_empty() {
+        // 没有任何工作，等待新请求
+        let new_req = request_rx.recv();  // blocking wait
+        waiting.push_back(new_req);
+        continue;
+    }
+
+    // Step 3: 分类 — 哪些需要 prefill，哪些需要 decode
+    let to_prefill: 新加入的 seq（generated_tokens 为空）
+    let to_decode: 已在运行的 seq
+
+    // Step 4: 执行
+    for seq in to_prefill {
+        // Prefill: 完整 prompt 一次 forward
+        model.forward_gpu_cache(&seq.prompt_tokens, &mut seq.kv_cache);
+        seq.status = Running;
+    }
+
+    // Decode: 每个 seq 独立做一步（当前不做 batch forward，留待优化）
+    for seq in to_decode {
+        let last_token = seq.last_generated_token();
+        let logits = model.forward_gpu_cache(&[last_token], &mut seq.kv_cache);
+        let next = sample_greedy(&logits);
+        seq.generated_tokens.push(next);
+        // 发送 token 给客户端
+        seq.output_tx.blocking_send(Token { id: next, text: decode(next) });
+        // 检查完成
+        if next == eos || seq.generated_tokens.len() >= seq.max_tokens {
+            seq.output_tx.blocking_send(Done);
+            seq.status = Finished;
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Step 5: 检查是否有新请求到达（non-blocking）
+    while let Ok(new_req) = request_rx.try_recv() {
+        waiting.push_back(new_req);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 关键设计决策
+
+1. **每个 seq 独立 KV cache**：当前不做 batch forward（需要对齐 seq_len），而是每个 seq 独立调用 model.forward_gpu_cache。未来优化为 batched forward。
+
+2. **Prefill 和 Decode 混合**：新加入的 seq 先 prefill（一次 forward），然后下一轮加入 decode batch。
+
+3. **Non-blocking request receive**：decode 循环中用 `try_recv()` 检查新请求，不阻塞推理。
+
+4. **max_batch_size**：受限于 GPU 显存（每个 seq 的 KV cache 占用）。Qwen3-8B 单卡 32GB，每个 seq 的 KV cache 约 256 tokens × 8 heads × 128 dim × 2(KV) × 2B = 1MB。可以并发 ~100 seq。实际受限于推理速度。
+
+## 与 Phase 13 (HTTP API) 的接口
+
+```
+HTTP Handler                              Engine Thread
+     │                                          │

+     │                                          │
+```
+
+多个 HTTP handler 可以同时提交请求。Engine 线程内部通过 Scheduler 管理并发。
+
+## 验收测试
+
+必须通过以下测试才算 Phase 12 完成：
+
+1. **并发 3 请求测试**：同时发 3 个请求，验证 3 个请求同时产出 token（不是串行等待）
+2. **吞吐量测试**：并发请求的总 token 吞吐量应接近单请求（因为单个 seq 的 decode 是串行的）
+3. **动态加入测试**：先发 1 个请求开始生成，过 2 秒再发第 2 个，验证第 2 个立即开始（不等第 1 个完成）
+4. **正确性测试**：并发请求的输出内容应与单独跑每个请求一致
+
+## 实现计划
+
+1. 重构 Engine：从 `while recv → generate` 改为 scheduler loop
+2. 每个 Sequence 持有独立的 GpuKVCache
+3. 调度循环实现 admit + prefill + decode + finish
+4. HTTP API 侧改为 unbounded channel（允许多请求同时提交）
+5. 编写并发测试脚本
+
+## 当前状态
+
+**已实现: iteration-level scheduling**。多请求可以并发进入 batch (max_batch_size)，新请求在 mid-generation 动态加入。Prefill 和 decode 阶段在每轮迭代内分离处理。
+
+**未实现: batched GPU forward**。每个 seq 的 model forward 仍是串行调用 (per-seq forward_gpu_cache)。真正的 batched decode (多 seq 的 token 合并为一次 GPU forward) 需要 Flash Attention 的 variable-length attention 支持。Phase 14 实现了 FA2 kernel，为后续 batched forward 提供了基础。
+
+**验证**: 8 个并发请求 (max_batch=4) 总 wall clock 22.5s，各请求延迟之和 135.0s，调度加速 6.0x。Server log 确认 `decode batch_size=4`。

+- [ ] 完整的 `usage` 统计 (token 计数)
+- [ ] 错误处理 (400 for bad request, etc.)
+- [ ] 多轮对话 chat template
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Extension vs State**: 用 `axum::Extension<Arc<AppState>>` 而不是 `Router::with_state`，因为 `SyncSender` 不是 `Sync`（需要 Mutex 包装）。
+
+2. **Engine 在独立 thread**: GPU 同步操作 block 线程，不能放在 tokio runtime 中。
+
+3. **tokio::sync::mpsc 做 token 传输**: Engine (std thread) 用 `blocking_send()`，API (async) 用 `.recv().await`。跨 async/sync 边界通信。
+
+## Test Plan
+
+- [x] curl /health → "ok"
+- [x] curl /v1/models → JSON model list
+- [x] curl /v1/chat/completions → JSON with generated text
+- [ ] Python OpenAI SDK 兼容性测试
+- [ ] SSE streaming 测试
+- [ ] 多轮对话测试
+
+## Takeaways
+
+1. **axum 0.8 的 Handler trait 对 Send 很严格**：async fn 返回的 Future 必须是 Send。`std::sync::MutexGuard` 不是 Send，必须确保它不活过 await point（用 scope 或显式 drop）。
+
+2. **std::sync::mpsc::SyncSender 不是 Sync**：不能直接放在 `Arc<T>` 中被多个 async task 共享。解决方案：`Mutex<SyncSender>` 或换用 `tokio::sync::mpsc::Sender`（是 Sync 的）。
+
+3. **非 streaming 更简单，先跑通再加 SSE**：SSE streaming 涉及 `Stream` trait、lifetime 问题和复杂的类型推导。先用 collect-all-then-respond 跑通 E2E，streaming 作为增量优化。
+
+4. **Engine 加载时间 ~20s（Qwen3-8B）**：需要在 server 启动后等 engine ready 才接受请求，否则请求会 hang 在 channel send 上。当前靠 sync_channel(1) 的背压天然处理。

+# Phase 14: Flash Attention 2 for SM120 — Design Document
+
+## Goal
+
+用自写的 Flash Attention 2 CUDA kernel 替换 naive attention (Phase 5)。消除 O(S²) 显存分配，支持 GQA kernel 内部索引（消除 repeat_kv 开销）。
+
+## 硬件约束: FA4 不适用于 RTX 5090
+
+Flash Attention 已发展到第 4 代 (FA4, arxiv 2603.05451)，但各版本有明确硬件依赖：
+
+| 版本 | 目标架构 | 关键硬件特性 | RTX 5090 (SM120) |
+|------|---------|------------|-----------------|
+| FA2 | 通用 CUDA (SM75+) | shared memory + HMMA | **兼容** |
+| FA3 | Hopper SM90 (H100) | TMA + WGMMA + warp specialization | 不兼容 |
+| FA4 | Blackwell SM100 (B200/B300) | TMEM + async MMA + 2-CTA mode | 不兼容 |
+
+RTX 5090 使用消费级 Blackwell (GB202, SM120)，与数据中心 Blackwell (B200, SM100) 是不同硅片。SM120 **没有 TMEM (Tensor Memory)**，这是 FA4 kernel 设计的核心硬件依赖。这不是软件限制，是硬件级差异。
+
+因此本项目实现 **FA2 算法**，使用标准 CUDA (shared memory + 标准 HMMA)。
+
+## Naive Attention 的问题
+
+Phase 5 的 naive attention 流程:
+```
+k_t = K.transpose(2,3).contiguous()    ← 分配 K^T 显存
+scores = batched_matmul(Q, k_t)         ← 分配 [B,H,S,S] score 矩阵 (O(S²) 显存)
+scores = scale(scores, 1/sqrt(d))       ← 逐元素 kernel
+causal_mask(scores)                     ← 逐元素 kernel
+weights = softmax(scores)               ← 分配 [B,H,S,S] weight 矩阵
+output = batched_matmul(weights, V)     ← 最终结果
+```
+
+问题:
+1. **显存 O(S²)**: score 和 weight 矩阵各需 `B × H × S × S × dtype_size`。S=2048, H=32, BF16 → 256 MB。S=8192 → 4 GB。
+2. **GQA 预处理**: 在调用 attention 前需要 `repeat_kv_gpu` 将 K/V 从 8 heads 扩展到 32 heads，每层额外分配和拷贝。
+3. **多次 kernel launch**: scale, mask, softmax 各一次 kernel launch + global memory round-trip。
+4. **K^T materialization**: `K.transpose().contiguous()` 需要分配和拷贝。
+
+## FA2 算法
+
+核心思想: **不 materialize S×S 矩阵**。将 Q, K, V 分成 tiles，在 shared memory (SRAM) 中计算，使用 **online softmax trick** 边算边更新 running max 和 sum。
+
+FA2 (Dao 2023) 相比 FA1 的改进: 外层循环遍历 Q tiles (而非 K/V)，减少 HBM 读写次数，提高并行性。
+
+```
+scale = 1 / sqrt(head_dim)
+
+for each Q tile (q_start..q_start + BR):                   // 外层: Q tiles
+    load Q_tile [BR, D] to shared memory (一次加载，内层复用)
+    init per-row: O[D] = 0, m = -inf, l = 0
+
+    for each K/V tile j (kv_start..kv_start + BC):          // 内层: K/V tiles
+        // Causal tile-skip: 如果整个 K tile 在 Q tile "未来"，跳过
+        if causal && kv_start > max_q_pos + kv_offset: skip
+
+        load K_tile [BC, D] to shared memory
+        S = Q_tile @ K_tile^T * scale                       // [BR, BC], in registers
+        if causal: mask S[r][c] = -inf where kv_pos > q_pos
+
+        // Online softmax update
+        m_new = max(m, rowmax(S))
+        P = exp(S - m_new)
+        l_new = exp(m - m_new) * l + rowsum(P)
+        O = exp(m - m_new) * O                              // rescale accumulator
+
+        load V_tile [BC, D] to shared memory (复用 K 的空间)
+        O += P @ V_tile                                     // accumulate
+
+        m = m_new, l = l_new
+
+    O = O / l                                               // final normalize
+    write O[BR, D] to HBM (convert FP32 → BF16)
+```
+
+## 实现细节
+
+### Kernel 配置
+
+| 参数 | 值 | 说明 |
+|------|---|------|
+| BR (Q tile rows) | 64 | Q tile 大小 |
+| BC (K/V tile rows) | 64 | K/V tile 大小 |
+| head_dim | 运行时参数 (≤128) | 支持 64 (GPT-2) 和 128 (Qwen3) |
+| Block size | 128 threads | 64 线程各 own 一行 Q，其余协助加载 |
+| Grid | (q_tiles, batch × num_q_heads) | 每个 block 处理一个 Q tile + 一个 head |
+
+### Shared Memory (BF16 存储)
+
+```
+smem_q [BR × head_dim] BF16 = 64 × 128 × 2 = 16 KB (加载一次，内层复用)
+smem_kv[BC × head_dim] BF16 = 64 × 128 × 2 = 16 KB (K 和 V 交替使用)
+────────────────────────────────────────────
+Total: 32 KB (SM120 默认 48 KB，余量充足)
+```
+
+### 线程映射
+
+- Thread 0..63: 各 own Q_tile 的一行。负责该行的全部计算：dot products、softmax、PV 累加。
+- Thread 64..127: 协助 shared memory 加载 (K/V tile)，不参与计算。
+- 加载模式: 每个 thread 加载 `(BR × head_dim) / 128 = 64` 个 BF16 元素。
+
+### Per-Thread Register 使用
+
+```
+O_acc[128] FP32     = 512 bytes (128 regs)  — 输出累加器
+P[64]      FP32     = 256 bytes (64 regs)   — 当前 tile 的 softmax 后权重
+m, l       FP32     = 8 bytes (2 regs)      — online softmax running state
+循环变量 + 临时      ≈ 16 regs
+────────────────────────────────────────────
+Total: ~210 regs/thread (max 255，在限制内)
+```
+
+### GQA 支持
+
+每个 thread block 处理一个 Q head，通过 `kv_head = q_head / (num_q_heads / num_kv_heads)` 映射到对应的 KV head。K/V 的数据指针直接指向 KV head 的存储，无需 repeat_kv。
+
+```
+// 32 Q heads, 8 KV heads → heads_per_group = 4
+// Q head 0,1,2,3 → KV head 0
+// Q head 4,5,6,7 → KV head 1
+// ...
+kv_head = q_head / heads_per_group;
+K_ptr = K + (batch * num_kv_heads + kv_head) * kv_len * head_dim;
+```
+
+### Causal Mask
+
+两级优化:
+1. **Tile-level skip**: 如果 `kv_tile_start > max_q_pos + kv_offset`，整个 K/V tile 都在未来，跳过（减少 ~50% 计算）。
+2. **Element-level mask**: 在 tile 内部，`if kv_pos > q_pos + kv_offset: S = -inf`。
+
+`kv_offset = kv_len - q_len` 处理 decode 时 KV cache 长于 Q 的情况。
+
+## 与 Naive Attention 的对比
+
+| 特性 | Naive (Phase 5) | FA2 (Phase 14) |
+|------|----------------|----------------|
+| 显存 | O(B × H × S²) | O(B × H × S × D) |
+| GQA | 需要 repeat_kv (分配+拷贝) | Kernel 内部索引 (零开销) |
+| K^T | 需要 transpose+contiguous | Kernel 内部计算 |
+| Kernel launches | 6 (matmul, scale, mask, softmax, matmul, ...) | 1 (单个 fused kernel) |
+| S=8192 可行性 | OOM (~4 GB score matrix) | 可行 (32 KB shared memory) |
+
+## 源码结构
+
+```
+csrc/attention/flash_attention.cu     — FA2 kernel (BF16 in, FP32 accumulate, BF16 out)
+crates/xserv-kernels/src/attention.rs — flash_attention() Rust wrapper + 原 attention() 保留
+crates/xserv-model/src/qwen3.rs       — forward_gpu_cache 调用 flash_attention
+```
+
+## 已知局限与后续优化方向
+
+1. **Decode (Q_len=1) 效率低**: BR=64 线程中只有 1 个 active（owns_row）。应写专用 decode attention kernel，沿 KV 维度 parallel reduction。
+2. **无向量化加载**: 当前逐元素 bf16→f32 转换，应改用 `float4` 或 `__nv_bfloat162` 批量加载。
+3. **Register tiling**: 每个 thread 目前串行计算 dot product (128 MADs per K column)。可改为多线程协作。
+4. **K/V double buffering**: 可在计算当前 tile 时预加载下一个 tile 到另一半 shared memory。
+5. **Tile size 调优**: 更大的 tile (BR=128) 可能在长 sequence 时更优，需要 opt-in shared memory。
+
+## Test Plan
+
+- [x] 正确性: logits 与 HF transformers 对比 (top-1 match 9/10, top-5 overlap 4.0/5)
+- [x] 生成质量: 52/52 prompt 生成连贯文本，中英文均可

+# Phase 15: Performance Optimization — Design Document (Milestone ④)
+
+## Goal
+
+系统性 profiling + 优化，从 12.9 tok/s (Phase 14 结束) 逼近 RTX 5090 的理论带宽上限 (112 tok/s)。
+
+## 硬件 Roofline
+
+RTX 5090 (SM120, CC 12.0) 的 decode 理论极限：
+
+```
+模型权重:          16 GB (Qwen3-8B BF16)
+内存带宽:          1.79 TB/s (GDDR7)
+理论最优 decode:   16 GB / 1.79 TB/s = 8.9 ms/step = 112 tok/s (batch=1)
+```
+
+Decode 阶段 100% memory-bound：每步读取全部 16 GB 权重（252 个 GEMV），计算量可忽略。
+
+## 瓶颈分析
+
+Phase 14 结束时性能 12.9 tok/s = 77.5 ms/step，roofline 利用率仅 12%。
+
+### 量化瓶颈分解
+
+| 来源 | 估计耗时 | 占比 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| cuBLAS M=1 GEMV (252 calls, 带宽利用 ~8%) | ~60 ms | 77% |
+| 非 matmul 内核 (attention, norm, activation, reshape) | ~8 ms | 10% |
+| Tensor 分配 + cudaMemset (1440+ allocs/step) | ~5 ms | 7% |
+| Kernel launch overhead (200+ launches × 5μs) | ~1 ms | 1% |
+| 其他 (sampling CPU round-trip, etc.) | ~3.5 ms | 5% |
+
+**核心发现: cuBLAS 对 M=1 GEMM (GEMV) 的带宽利用率极低（~8%），是 9x gap 的根本原因。**
+
+cuBLAS 设计用于大 M 的 GEMM，对 M=1 场景存在：
+- Kernel launch dispatch overhead 无法被大量计算掩盖
+- TensorCore tile (16×16) 无法被 M=1 充分利用
+- 内部 heuristic 选择了次优算法
+
+## 优化实施
+
+### Opt 1: Decode Attention Kernel
+
+**目标**: 替换 FA2 在 Q_len=1 时的低效路径（64 线程仅 1 个 active）。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/attention/flash_attention.cu`):
+- 专用 decode_attention_bf16_kernel: 256 线程并行沿 KV 序列维度
+- 每个 thread 加载完整 Q vector (128 dim) 到寄存器
+- 处理其分配的 KV 位置块: dot product → online softmax
+- Block-level warp-shuffle + shared memory reduction 合并结果
+- GQA 支持: kv_head = q_head / heads_per_group
+
+**效果**: 在当前短序列 (kv_len ≤ 79) 下效果微小——attention 不是瓶颈。在长序列时会显著受益。
+
+### Opt 2: Fused SiLU×Mul
+
+**目标**: `silu(gate) * up` 两个 element-wise op 合并为一个 kernel。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/activation/activations.cu`):
+```
+Before: read gate → silu → write temp → read temp + up → mul → write out
+After:  read gate + up → silu(gate) * up → write out
+Saved:  1 HBM read + 1 HBM write per element
+```
+
+**效果**: 每层省 1 次 HBM round-trip，36 层总计可观但在 GEMV 瓶颈下被掩盖。
+
+### Opt 3: Fused Add+RMSNorm
+
+**目标**: `x = residual + attn_proj; normed = rmsnorm(x)` 合并为一个 kernel。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/normalization/rmsnorm.cu`):
+```

+
+### Opt 4: Batched Decode Forward ⭐
+
+**目标**: 多序列 decode token 合并为 M=batch_size 的 GEMM，提升 cuBLAS 效率。
+
+**实现** (`crates/xserv-model/src/qwen3.rs` + `crates/xserv-server/src/engine.rs`):
+- 新增 `Qwen3::forward_decode_batch(tokens, positions, caches)`
+- Batched ops: embedding, norm, projections, FFN — [B, hidden] × [hidden, X]
+- Per-seq ops: RoPE, KV cache, attention（各序列位置/长度不同）
+- Row extraction (`row_view`) + concatenation (`concat_rows`) 在 batched/per-seq 间切换
+- Engine Step 4b: batch≥2 时自动使用 batched decode
+
+**效果**: batch=4 时 cuBLAS 从 1008× M=1 → 252× M=4，吞吐 35.1 tok/s (vs serial 13.2)。
+
+### Opt 5: Custom GEMV Kernel ⭐⭐⭐ (决定性优化)
+
+**目标**: 替换 cuBLAS 的 M=1 GEMV，手写带宽最优化 kernel。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/gemm/gemv.cu`):
+```
+设计: K-split tiled GEMV
+- TILE_N = 128 (output columns per block, one thread per column)
+- TILE_K = 256 (K-dimension slice per block)
+- BLOCK_SIZE = 128 threads
+- Grid: (ceil(N/128), ceil(K/256)) — 对 K=N=4096 得到 512 blocks
+  512 blocks / 170 SMs ≈ 3 blocks/SM (良好 occupancy)
+
+内存访问:
+- 相邻线程读 W 矩阵的相邻列 → 完美 coalesced
+- x vector 加载到 shared memory (每 K-chunk 仅加载一次)
+- FP32 accumulation via atomicAdd (K-split partial sums)
+- 独立 kernel 做 FP32→BF16 转换
+
+调度:
+- matmul() 中检测 M==1 && dtype==BF16 → 自动使用 custom GEMV
+- M>1 保持 cuBLAS
+```
+
+**效果**: 13.2 → 46.6 tok/s (+253%)。带宽利用率从 ~8% 提升到 ~42%。
+
+### Opt 6: Tensor::empty() (消除无用 cudaMemset)
+
+**目标**: kernel 输出 tensor 全量覆写时，跳过分配后的 cudaMemset 清零。
+
+**实现**:
+- `Storage::empty()` + `Tensor::empty()`: 分配不清零
+- 21 个 kernel wrapper (activation, attention, embedding, gemm, norm, softmax, transpose) 从 `zeros` 改为 `empty`
+- GEMV FP32 accumulator buffer 保持 `cudaMemsetAsync`（atomicAdd 需要零初始化）
+
+**效果**: 46.6 → 50.3 tok/s (+8%)。消除 ~756 个 cudaMemset/step。
+
+### Infra: CUDA Graph 基础设施
+
+- FFI bindings: `cudaStreamBeginCapture`, `cudaGraphInstantiate`, `cudaGraphLaunch`
+- RAII wrapper: `CudaGraph` (capture/instantiate/launch lifecycle)
+- 当前未在 forward path 使用（variable kv_len 限制），为后续优化预留

+# Phase 16: llama.cpp Comparison Baseline
+
+> **Goal.** Replace HF transformers with **llama.cpp** as the standing
+> performance baseline, and add a standard quality (response correctness)
+> benchmark suite (AIME 2025, GSM8K). Provide a one-click entrypoint that runs
+> both systems under identical workloads and emits a side-by-side report.
+
+## Motivation
+
+xserv has cleared 140% of HF transformers throughput on Qwen3-8B (Phase 15).
+HF is no longer a useful performance bar — it's a *correctness* baseline.
+
+**llama.cpp** is the right next bar because:
+- It's a serious C++/CUDA inference engine with active optimization
+- Same OpenAI-compatible API → black-box, fair comparison
+- Same GGUF↔safetensors weight source (we convert BF16, no quantization shortcuts)
+- Used widely as a reference point in the community
+
+We also need **quality benchmarks** so that performance improvements don't
+silently regress model quality (numerical precision, sampling, prompt
+formatting). AIME and GSM8K are the cheapest credible signals.
+
+## Architecture
+

+
+Both systems are treated as **black-box HTTP servers** speaking the OpenAI
+streaming chat API. No in-process integration, no shared Python bindings. This
+keeps the comparison fair (same protocol, same prompt-template path) and
+isolates the test harness from internal API churn on either side.
+
+## Workflow
+
+The GPU host (dash5) has **no outbound network and no rsync**, so anything from
+the internet is fetched locally and shipped over via tar-over-ssh.
+
+```
+local repo (has network)              dash5 (GPU host, no network)
+────────────────────────              ────────────────────────────
+# one-time, on a networked machine:
+python3 -m tools.bench.fetch_datasets  →  tools/bench/data/{aime2025,gsm8k}.json
+git submodule update --init …          →  third_party/llama.cpp source
+
+tools/sync-and-build.sh bench   →  tar project   (excl. target, third_party, bench-out)
+                                →  tar llama.cpp source (excl. build, .git)
+                                →  setup-llama-cpp.sh   (build-only; no-op if built)
+                                →  convert-to-gguf.sh   (no-op if .gguf exists)
+                                →  cargo build --release
+                                →  python3 -m tools.bench.runner ...
+                                →  bench-out/comparison-<stamp>.md
+tools/sync-and-build.sh fetch-bench-out  ←  tar bench-out back
+```
+
+Behind a flaky proxy, fetch datasets through the HF mirror:
+`HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com python3 -m tools.bench.fetch_datasets`.
+
+`tools/__init__.py` exists so `python3 -m tools.bench.runner` resolves our
+package: some site-packages (e.g. nvfuser) ship a regular top-level `tools`
+package that would otherwise shadow a namespace `tools`.
+
+## What gets measured
+
+### Speed (TTFT / TPOT / throughput)
+
+- **Single-stream**, three prompt lengths (short / medium / long), `cfg.speed_prompts` repeats each
+  - `TTFT p50/p95`, `TPOT p50/p95`, per-request throughput
+- **Concurrent**, fixed medium prompt, sweep `concurrency ∈ {1, 2, 4, 8}`
+  - Aggregate `tok/s`, `TTFT p95`, error count
+- Both at `temperature=0`, `max_tokens=128` by default.
+
+### Quality (response correctness)
+
+| Task | N | Source | Scoring | Why |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| AIME 2025 | 30 | `MathArena/aime_2025`, fallback `yentinglin/aime_2025` (HF) | exact-match boxed integer (0..999) | reasoning + math, hard signal |
+| GSM8K | 1319 | `openai/gsm8k` (HF), `test` split | exact-match `\boxed{n}` or last number | broad sanity, decimals allowed |
+
+Same `temperature=0` sampling across both systems. Max tokens: 16384 for AIME
+(reasoning long), 2048 for GSM8K. Subsample with `--quality-limit N` for smoke.
+
+**Generation mode must match.** xserv's prompt builder hardcodes Qwen3 thinking
+OFF (it appends an empty `<think></think>` block). llama-server applies the
+GGUF's Qwen3 jinja template, which has thinking ON by default. The driver
+therefore sends `chat_template_kwargs={"enable_thinking": false}` to llama.cpp
+so both engines run the model in the same mode. Pass `--enable-thinking` to
+compare in thinking mode instead (xserv would need a matching change first).
+
+### Report
+
+`bench-out/comparison-<stamp>.md` contains:
+- Environment (GPU, driver, xserv commit, python)
+- Speed table per scenario (xserv | llama.cpp | xserv÷llama.cpp speedup)
+- Quality table per task (n, correct, accuracy, mean tokens, TTFT, TPOT, wall)
+
+A sibling `.json` holds all per-request raw rows and per-problem case detail
+(prediction, gold, response preview) so we can diff regressions in CI later.
+
+## Running it
+
+**One-time prerequisites (on a networked machine):**
+```bash
+git submodule update --init third_party/llama.cpp     # pinned to b9371
+HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com python3 -m tools.bench.fetch_datasets
+```
+
+**Full sweep on dash5 (recommended):**
+```bash
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh bench -- --max-seq-len 8192 --quality-limit 50
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh fetch-bench-out
+open bench-out/comparison-*.md
+```
+
+**Speed-only smoke (fast):**
+```bash
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh bench -- --suite speed --speed-prompts 2
+```
+
+**Quality smoke with 5 problems each:**
+```bash
+./tools/sync-and-build.sh bench -- --suite quality --quality-limit 5
+```
+
+**On a host that already has both servers running** (e.g. local dev with two
+shells open):
+```bash
+python3 -m tools.bench.runner \
+    --xserv-base-url http://127.0.0.1:8080 \
+    --llama-base-url http://127.0.0.1:8081 \
+    --suite all
+```
+
+## Design choices
+
+1. **Black-box HTTP, not FFI.** Both engines bind the same OpenAI surface and
+   real serving traffic uses HTTP. Anything that doesn't show up over the wire
+   doesn't matter for serving.
+2. **Same BF16 weights.** We convert the same safetensors with llama.cpp's
+   `convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype bf16`. No quantization at this stage; if we
+   want a quant comparison later we'll add a separate column, not replace this
+   one.
+3. **Streaming everywhere.** TTFT and TPOT only make sense with streaming. We
+   ask both servers for `stream=true` with `include_usage` so we can read
+   server-reported token counts when available.
+4. **Idempotent setup.** `setup-llama-cpp.sh` and `convert-to-gguf.sh` are
+   safe to re-run — they no-op when the build / file already exists. The
+   `bench` subcommand wires them so the first run does a full setup and
+   subsequent runs are fast.
+5. **Subprocess lifecycle owned by the driver.** We spawn each server in its
+   own process group and SIGTERM the group on exit so half-dead llama-server
+   children don't survive. If the user is already running a server somewhere,
+   pass `--xserv-base-url` / `--llama-base-url` to skip launch.
+6. **One server at a time.** The driver starts a system, runs every suite
+   against it, stops it, then moves to the next. Two BF16 8B models (~16GB each)
+   do not co-reside on a single 32GB GPU, and a resident idle engine would
+   distort the other's latency/throughput. This serialization is why the report
+   is assembled from per-system passes rather than a single interleaved run.
+
+## Known constraints / findings
+
+- **xserv OOM at `--max-seq-len 8192` — fixed.** xserv used to pre-allocate its
+  paged-KV pool (`total_blocks = blocks_per_seq · max_batch · 2`, ≈9GB at 8192)
+  on top of the 16GB weights, exceeding 32GB at startup (`paged_kv_cache.rs`
+  `alloc paged K pool: OutOfMemory`). Now the pool is sized to *available VRAM*
+  (`cudaMemGetInfo`) and overflow is swapped to pinned host memory (vLLM-style
+  preemption, `--swap-space-gb`). The 8192 comparison runs cleanly with 0 swap
+  events; swap is verified separately under a forced-small pool. The benchmark
+  surfaced the OOM — a good example of the baseline doing its job.
+- When the xserv engine thread dies, the API now returns a clean 503 (the
+  request handler uses a poison-tolerant lock instead of cascading
+  mutex-poison panics). The driver records any failure as a per-request error,
+  so a broken engine shows up as `errs=N` / `accuracy 0%` rather than a hung run.
+
+## Future extensions
+
+- Add quant runs (Q8_0, Q4_K_M) as separate "system" columns
+- Wire to GitHub Actions for nightly regression
+- Track results across commits to flag regressions (per-commit JSON in
+  `docs/benchmarks/history/`)
+- Add MMLU-Pro / HumanEval when budget allows
+- Long-context benchmark (8K, 32K prompts) to compare prefill scaling

+# Phase 17: Tensor Parallelism (TP)
+
+> 目标：在单机多卡上做 **张量并行**，把 Qwen3-8B 的权重、计算和 KV cache 按
+> head / 中间维切分到 TP 个 GPU 上，用 AllReduce 聚合，降低单卡显存压力并提升吞吐。
+> 先做 **TP=2 / 4（组内）**，跳过投机解码（原 Phase 16）。
+
+## 1. 硬件约束（dash5）
+
+- 8× RTX 5090（32GB，SM120），**无 NVLink**，纯 PCIe Gen5。
+- 拓扑：GPU 0–3 一组、4–7 一组，组内 `PHB`（同 host bridge，可 P2P），跨组 `NODE`。
+- **TP 必须在组内**（0–3 或 4–7），否则 AllReduce 走跨组 PCIe，延迟更高。
+- AllReduce 带宽受限于 PCIe（~单向 64GB/s），远低于 NVLink；通信会是 decode 的主要开销。
+
+## 2. 切分方案（Megatron-style）
+
+Qwen3-8B：`hidden=4096`、`num_heads=32`、`num_kv_heads=8`、`head_dim=128`、
+`intermediate=12288`、`layers=36`、`vocab=151936`。TP=2/4/8 都能整除 32/8/12288。
+
+每个 transformer block 的切分（设 world size = `T`，本 rank = `r`）：
+
+### Attention（column → row）
+| 权重 | 原 shape (已转置) | 切分 | 每 rank shape |
+|------|-------------------|------|---------------|
+| `q_proj_wt` | `[hidden, num_heads·head_dim]` | column（按 Q head） | `[hidden, (num_heads/T)·head_dim]` |
+| `k_proj_wt` | `[hidden, num_kv_heads·head_dim]` | column（按 KV head） | `[hidden, (num_kv_heads/T)·head_dim]` |
+| `v_proj_wt` | 同上 | column | 同上 |
+| `o_proj_wt` | `[num_heads·head_dim, hidden]` | **row** | `[(num_heads/T)·head_dim, hidden]` |
+
+- 每个 rank 只算自己的 `num_heads/T` 个 Q head 和对应的 `num_kv_heads/T` 个 KV head；
+  GQA 的 `n_rep = num_heads/num_kv_heads = 4` 在每个 rank 内保持不变。
+- `q_norm`/`k_norm`（`[head_dim]`）逐 head 应用，**复制**到每个 rank。
+- RoPE 逐 head、按 position 应用，每个 rank 独立做。
+- **KV cache 也切分**：每个 rank 的 paged KV 只存自己的 `num_kv_heads/T` 个 head
+  → 每卡 KV 显存降为 1/T（TP 的一大收益）。
+- `attn = merge_heads(...) @ o_proj_wt` 得到**部分** `[T_tok, hidden]` → **AllReduce(sum)** → 完整。
+
+### MLP / SwiGLU（column → row）
+| 权重 | 原 shape | 切分 | 每 rank shape |
+|------|----------|------|---------------|
+| `gate_proj_wt` | `[hidden, intermediate]` | column | `[hidden, intermediate/T]` |
+| `up_proj_wt` | 同上 | column | 同上 |
+| `down_proj_wt` | `[intermediate, hidden]` | **row** | `[intermediate/T, hidden]` |
+
+- `silu(gate)*up` 在切分后的 `[T_tok, intermediate/T]` 上逐元素做，无需通信。
+- `down = (...) @ down_proj_wt` 得到部分 `[T_tok, hidden]` → **AllReduce(sum)** → 完整。
+
+### 复制（不切分）
+- 所有 RMSNorm 权重（`input_norm`/`post_norm`/最终 `norm`）：每个 rank 在 AllReduce 后
+  拿到完整 hidden，本地用复制的权重归一化。
+- **第一版**：`embed_tokens` 和 `lm_head` 复制（各 ~1.2GB）。
+  后续优化：vocab-parallel embedding（local lookup + AllReduce）、column-parallel lm_head + AllGather。
+
+### 通信点
+每层 **2 次 AllReduce**（o_proj 后、down_proj 后）→ 每生成 1 token 共 `2·36 = 72` 次。
+decode 时每次 AllReduce 张量是 `[batch, 4096]` BF16（单 token batch=1 时 8KB），**延迟主导**。
+
+## 3. 进程 / 线程模型
+
+**单进程、多线程**：每个 TP rank 一个 OS 线程，线程启动时 `cudaSetDevice(rank_device)` 并绑定。
+
+选择理由：
+- xserv 的 caching allocator 是 `thread_local`，每线程独立池 → 天然契合「一线程一卡一池」。
+- CUDA context 隐式按 device/thread 管理；线程内只 set 一次 device、不再切换即可。
+- HTTP server / 调度器仍在主线程（rank 0 协调），无需多进程 IPC，改动最小。
+- 单机 8 卡足够；多进程（torchrun 式）留待真正跨节点时再说。
+
+执行流：主线程调度器准备一个 step 的输入（tokens/positions/slots），广播给 `T` 个 rank 线程；
+每个 rank 线程跑自己的分片 forward（含层内 AllReduce），rank 0 拿到完整 logits 后采样。
+用 barrier / channel 同步每个 step。
+
+## 4. 通信库：NCCL
+
+用 **NCCL**（dash5 已装：`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnccl.so.2`，`/usr/include/nccl.h`）。
+
+- 新建 crate `xserv-distributed`：NCCL FFI（`ncclGetUniqueId`、`ncclCommInitRank`、
+  `ncclAllReduce`、`ncclGroupStart/End`）+ `TpContext`（rank/world/comm/stream）+
+  `all_reduce_sum(&mut GpuBuffer)` 原语。
+- NCCL 多线程模式：主线程生成 `ncclUniqueId`，各 rank 线程用 `ncclCommInitRank(comm, world, id, rank)`
+  初始化（需 `ncclGroupStart/End` 包裹并发 init）。
+- AllReduce 用 BF16（`ncclBfloat16`）+ `ncclSum`，在每个 rank 自己的 stream 上。
+
+> **决策点**：collective 用 NCCL 还是自己手写 P2P ring/tree AllReduce？
+> 本项目是「从零构建」，但 collective 属于基础设施（类比我们也用 cuBLAS 作为可切换后端）。
+> 推荐先用 NCCL 把 TP 跑通、拿到正确性与加速比，后续可选做手写 AllReduce 作为学习项。
+
+## 5. 权重分片加载
+
+每个 rank 只加载/保留自己的分片，省显存：
+- column-parallel 权重：按输出维切片取本 rank 的 `[*, dim/T]` 段。
+- row-parallel 权重：按输入维切片取本 rank 的 `[dim/T, *]` 段。
+- 复制权重（norm/embed/lm_head）：每个 rank 各留一份。
+
+实现：`loader` 读 safetensors（mmap）时按 rank 只搬运需要的切片到该 rank 的 GPU；
+`Qwen3::from_weights_tp(config, weights, rank, world)` 在转置/切分时按 rank 取段。
+
+## 6. 实现步骤（逐步可验证）
+
+1. **P17.1 — `xserv-distributed` 基础**：NCCL FFI + `TpContext` + `all_reduce_sum`。
+   验收：2 卡各放一个已知向量，AllReduce 后两卡结果都等于和。
+2. **P17.2 — 分片权重加载**：`from_weights_tp`，每 rank 只持有自己的分片。
+   验收：各 rank 权重 shape 正确、显存占用约为 1/T（+ 复制项）。
+3. **P17.3 — TP forward**：rank 内 attention/MLP + 层内 AllReduce。
+   验收：**TP=2 的 logits 与 TP=1 在 BF16 容差内一致**（top-1 一致，top-5 重合）。
+4. **P17.4 — 接入 engine/server**：`--tp N`，多线程 rank workers + rank0 调度。
+   验收：`--tp 2` 端到端可服务；用现有 llama.cpp bench 跑正确性；
+   测 TP=2 vs TP=1 的吞吐 / TTFT / 每卡显存。
+
+## 7. 预期与风险
+
+- **显存**：每卡权重 + KV 降到约 1/T（embed/lm_head 暂复制）。TP=2 时单卡 ~8GB 权重 + 更大 KV/并发空间。
+- **吞吐**：PCIe AllReduce 延迟会吃掉部分收益；decode 是延迟敏感的，72 次小 AllReduce/token
+  可能让 TP=2 的单流 tok/s **不一定线性提升**，但能跑更大 batch / 更长 context。先测实测数。
+- **风险**：NCCL 多线程初始化的同步、每 rank stream 与现有 kernel stream 的协调、
+  KV cache 按 rank 切 head 后 paged kernel 的 head 维参数要用 per-rank 值。
+- 正确性优先：先 TP=1 等价（logits 对齐），再谈性能。
+
+## 8. 不在本阶段范围
+
+- 跨组 TP=8、Pipeline Parallelism、多节点。
+- vocab-parallel embedding / lm_head（先复制）。
+- 手写 AllReduce（NCCL 跑通后可选）。
+- 与 CUDA Graph decode 的结合（先走非 graph 路径）。

+
+## 1. 硬件约束（dash5）
+
+- 8× RTX 5090（32GB，SM120），**无 NVLink**，纯 PCIe Gen5。
+- 拓扑：GPU 0–3 一组、4–7 一组，组内 `PHB`（同 host bridge，可 P2P），跨组 `NODE`。
+- **PP 同样建议在组内**（0–3 或 4–7）：虽然 PP 的通信量远小于 TP，但 P2P 仍走 PCIe，
+  跨组延迟更高。PP=2/4 用 0–1 / 0–3。
+- 相比 TP：TP 每 token `2·layers = 72` 次 AllReduce（延迟主导）；PP 每 token 仅
+  `P-1` 次 send/recv，每次 `[tokens, hidden]` BF16（decode batch=1 时 8KB）。
+  **PP 对慢互联（PCIe / 无 NVLink）更友好**，这是在 dash5 上做 PP 的主要动机之一。
+
+## 2. 切分方案（layer-wise）
+
+Qwen3-8B：`hidden=4096`、`num_heads=32`、`num_kv_heads=8`、`head_dim=128`、
+`intermediate=12288`、`layers=36`、`vocab=151936`。`36` 能被 `2/4` 整除（PP=3/6 需处理余数，
+本阶段先要求 `layers % P == 0`）。
+
+设 stage 数 `P`，本 stage = `s`，每段 `L = layers / P` 层，本段持有全局层
+`[s·L, (s+1)·L)`：
+
+| 组件 | 持有者 | 说明 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| `embed_tokens` `[vocab, hidden]` | **仅 stage 0** | token → hidden |
+| transformer block `i` 的全部权重 | 持有 `i` 的那个 stage | 不切 head / 中间维（与 TP 正交） |
+| 该层 KV cache | 持有 `i` 的那个 stage | **每卡 KV 降到约 1/P** |
+| 最终 `norm` `[hidden]` | **仅最后一段** | |
+| `lm_head` `[vocab, hidden]` | **仅最后一段** | hidden → logits |
+
+- 注意力 / MLP 的层内计算 **完全不变**（不需要 AllReduce）：每个 stage 用它自己那几层
+  的完整权重、完整 head 做 forward。PP 与 TP 正交，可叠加（本阶段不实现 TP×PP）。
+- **RoPE** 用全局绝对 position，每个 stage 的 `RopeCache` 完全相同（按 position 索引），
+  各 stage 独立做，无需通信。
+- **每个 stage 一个独立的 `PagedKVCache`**，层数 = 本段层数 `L`（不是 36）。forward 时
+  按「本段内的局部层号 `0..L`」索引 cache —— 与单卡代码完全一致，只是 `self.layers`
+  只装了本段的层。实现技巧：给 cache 传一个 `num_hidden_layers` 改写成 `L` 的 config 克隆，
+  **无需改 `PagedKVCache`**。
+
+### 通信点
+- prefill：stage `s` 算完本段层，得到 `[S, hidden]` → **send 给 `s+1`**；`s+1` recv 后接着算。
+- decode：同理传 `[B, hidden]`（batch=1 时 `[1, hidden]`）。
+- 每 token 共 `P-1` 次 send/recv；最后一段算出 logits 并采样。
+- 采样得到的 token id（一个 `u32`）由 **最后一段经线程内 channel 回传给 stage0**
+  （同进程多线程，无需走 NCCL）。
+
+## 3. 进程 / 线程模型
+
+沿用 TP 的 **单进程、多线程**：每个 stage 一个 OS 线程，线程启动时 `cudaSetDevice(stage)`。
+- **stage 0 = 协调者（coordinator）**，跑在调用线程上：持有 scheduler、tokenizer、HTTP
+  response sender、停止判定（eos / max_tokens）与「下一步输入 token」。
+- **stage 1..P-1 = worker 线程**：从控制 channel 收命令（Register/Prefill/Decode/Free/Shutdown），
+  每步 `recv` 上游 hidden → 跑本段层 → `send` 给下游；最后一段 `head`+采样 → 把 token 回传 stage0。
+- 控制信息（命令、采样参数、token id）走 `mpsc`（极小）；**重活（hidden 张量）走 NCCL P2P（GPU↔GPU）**。
+
+> **v1 串行语义**：一次处理一个请求、一次一个 token，流水线每步「灌满又排空」
+> （stage0 decode 第 `t+1` 步依赖最后一段第 `t` 步采出的 token）。这保证 **正确性**，
+> 并拿到 TTFT/TPOT 与每卡显存；**throughput 的真正收益来自 microbatch/请求级流水线
+> 重叠（1F1B）**，列为后续工作（见 §7）。

+
+## 4. 通信库：NCCL P2P
+
+复用 `xserv-distributed`（已有 NCCL FFI + `TpContext`/AllReduce），新增：
+- FFI：`ncclSend(sendbuff, count, dtype, peer, comm, stream)`、
+  `ncclRecv(recvbuff, count, dtype, peer, comm, stream)`。
+- `PpContext`：与 `TpContext` 同样的 `ncclCommInitRank`（一个 comm 跨 `P` 个 stage），
+  外加 `send_bf16_ptr(ptr, count, peer)` / `recv_bf16_ptr(ptr, count, peer)`，在 **null
+  stream** 上发起（与模型 kernel 同流，天然有序）。
+- 线性流水线无死锁：stage0 只 send、最后一段只 recv、中间段「先 recv 上游、再 send 下游」，
+  依赖链无环，从头解锁。每个 stage 在 send/recv + 本段计算后 `synchronize()`，
+  确保 NCCL 读完发送缓冲再复用/释放（v1 串行下成本可接受）。
+
+> **决策点**：和 TP 一样，collective/P2P 先用 NCCL 把 PP 跑通拿正确性与基线；
+> 手写 P2P（PCIe 上的 cudaMemcpyPeer）作为后续学习项。
+
+## 5. 权重分片加载
+
+`Qwen3::from_weights_pp(config, weights, stage, num_stages, device)`：
+- 只把全局层 `[s·L, (s+1)·L)` 搬到本 stage 的 GPU（其余层的权重直接 drop，不占显存）。
+- `embed_tokens`：仅 stage 0 加载；其余 stage 放一个 1×1 占位张量（forward 用 `is_first_stage`
+  守卫，永不触碰）。
+- `norm`/`lm_head`：仅最后一段加载；其余放占位。
+- head 不切（不做 TP），所以 `local_num_heads = num_heads`、`local_num_kv_heads = num_kv_heads`。
+
+每卡显存 ≈ `权重(transformer 1/P) + KV(1/P) + (stage0: embed) + (last: norm+lm_head)`。
+对 Qwen3-8B：transformer 层约 14GB，PP=2 每卡约 7GB 层权重 + embed 或 lm_head（各 ~1.2GB）。
+
+## 6. 实现步骤（逐步可验证）
+
+1. **P18.1 — `xserv-distributed` P2P**：`ncclSend/Recv` FFI + `PpContext`。
+   验收：2 卡，rank0 send 已知向量、rank1 recv，校验一致（`tests/sendrecv.rs`）。
+2. **P18.2 — 分段权重加载**：`from_weights_pp`，每 stage 只持有本段层 + 该有的 embed/head。
+   验收：各 stage 层数 = `L`、显存约 1/P（+ embed/head）。
+3. **P18.3 — stage forward**：`embed` / `forward_layers_prefill` / `forward_layers_decode` /
+   `head`，每段独立 KV cache。
+   验收：**PP=1 与单卡 `forward_*_paged` 逐 token 一致**（同一条代码路径退化）。
+4. **P18.4 — PP engine + `--pp N`**：多线程 stage workers + NCCL 传递 + stage0 协调。
+   验收：`--pp 2/4` 端到端可服务；**greedy 输出与单卡（PP=1）逐 token 一致**；
+   用现有 llama.cpp bench 跑正确性（GSM8K/AIME）；测 PP=1/2/4 的 TTFT/TPOT/每卡显存。
+
+## 7. 预期与风险
+
+- **显存**：每卡 transformer 权重 + KV ≈ 1/P，这是 PP 的主要收益（可上更大模型 / 更长 context）。
+- **单流吞吐**：v1 串行无 stage 重叠 → 单流 tok/s **不会超过单卡**（多一份 P2P + sync 开销，
+  可能略低）。这是 PP 的本质：**没有 microbatch 重叠就没有加速**。诚实记录实测，并与
+  llama.cpp 的 `--split-mode layer`（同样是层切流水线、单序列也串行跨卡）对比 —— 两者单流
+  都应≈单卡。
+- **真正的 throughput 收益**（后续）：请求级 / microbatch 流水线（1F1B），让 stage 间重叠：
+  stage1 算 microbatch A 时 stage0 算 B。需要把 scheduler 改成跨 stage 连续批处理。
+- **风险**：NCCL 多线程 init 同步；send 缓冲生命周期（必须 sync 后再复用）；
+  `layers % P != 0` 的余数分配（本阶段先约束整除）；与 CUDA Graph decode 的结合（先走非 graph 路径）。
+- 正确性优先：先 PP=1 等价（逐 token 对齐），PP=2/4 与单卡对齐，再谈性能。
+
+## 8. 与 llama.cpp 的对比口径
+
+- **xserv**：`--pp N`，`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0..N-1`。
+- **llama.cpp**：`-sm layer`（默认即层切流水线）+ `--tensor-split` 均分层，`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0..N-1`。
+  （对照 TP 用的是 `-sm row`。）
+- 指标：正确性（GSM8K / AIME exact-match）、单流 TTFT/TPOT、并发吞吐、每卡 VRAM。
+- 复用 `tools/bench/runner.py` 与 `run_pp_parallel.sh`（仿 `run_tp_parallel.sh`）。
+
+## 9. 不在本阶段范围
+
+- TP×PP 混合（2D 并行）、跨组 / 多节点。
+- microbatch / 1F1B 流水线重叠（throughput 收益，后续）。
+- vocab-parallel embedding / lm_head。
+- `layers % P != 0` 的非均匀切分；与 CUDA Graph decode 结合。

+# FP8 W8A8 quantization — gpt-oss-20b (dash5, 8× RTX 5090)
+
+Operator-level FP8 E4M3 quantization of the MoE expert weights, with real
+cuBLASLt FP8 tensor-core GEMM (W8A8: FP8 weights × dynamically-quantized FP8
+activations). All other tensors (attention, router, embeddings, norms, biases)
+stay BF16.
+
+## Scheme
+
+- **Weights** (`tools/quantize_fp8.py`): expert `gate_up_proj` / `down_proj`
+  quantized BF16 → FP8 E4M3 with a **per-expert scalar** scale (`absmax/448`).
+  Stored transposed `[E, N, K]` because cuBLASLt FP8 on Blackwell (sm120)
+  requires `transA=T`.
+- **Activations**: quantized dynamically at runtime, **per-token** (per-row
+  absmax), recovered by a post-GEMM row scale.
+- **Compute**: `batched_gemm_fp8` (`crates/xserv-kernels/src/quantization.rs`)
+  runs **one strided-batched cuBLASLt FP8 matmul for all experts** (`alpha=1`,
+  in-GEMM scales `1.0`); a fused kernel then applies `a_scale[token]·b_scale[expert]`
+  in a single pass. BF16's relative error is scale-invariant, so applying both
+  scales post-GEMM is precision-equivalent to folding them into the epilogue.
+- Model size: **22 GB** (FP8) vs **39 GB** (BF16). The FP8 model fits on a
+  single 32 GB 5090; BF16 needs ≥ 2.
+
+## The performance bug that was fixed
+
+`batched_gemm_fp8` originally rebuilt the entire cuBLASLt plan **per expert,
+per GEMM, per layer, on every forward pass** — running the algo heuristic
+search, creating/destroying the descriptor + 4 layouts + preference, and
+`cudaMalloc`-ing a 4-byte scale buffer — roughly 1500 heuristic searches per
+decoded token. This made FP8 **slower than BF16**:
+
+| | FP8 (buggy) | FP8 (fixed) | BF16 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Decode TPOT | 27.0 ms | **17.9 ms** | 18.8 ms |
+| Throughput | 37 tok/s | **55.8 tok/s** | 53.2 tok/s |
+
+Fix: cache the cuBLASLt plan (descriptor + layouts + heuristically-chosen algo)
+in a thread-local map keyed by `(M, N, K, batch)` so the heuristic runs once per
+shape, and allocate the scale buffer once.
+
+## Reducing launches: one strided-batched matmul
+
+The per-expert loop still issued one `cublasLtMatmul` per expert — ~768 tiny
+launches per decoded token (16 local experts × 2 GEMMs × 24 layers). Collapsing
+each MoE GEMM into a single **strided-batched** cuBLASLt FP8 matmul (BATCH_COUNT
++ strided-batch offsets) drops that to ~48, with a fused post-scale kernel
+applying both scales. This required moving the per-expert weight scale out of the
+GEMM epilogue (a single strided call can't carry a per-batch scalar) into the
+post-scale kernel — precision-equivalent, as noted above.
+
+| (gpt-oss-20b, TP=2) | per-expert FP8 | batched FP8 | BF16 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Decode TPOT | 17.9 ms | **13.8 ms** | 18.8 ms |
+| Throughput | 55.8 tok/s | **72.3 tok/s** | 53.2 tok/s |
+
+## Results — GSM8K (greedy, TP=2 on the same 2 GPUs)
+
+200-problem run is the per-expert plan-cache fix; 100-problem run is the
+strided-batched version. BF16 is the unchanged baseline in both.
+
+Harness: `tools/fp8_compare.py` — a warm `xserv-server` per model, GSM8K streamed
+through `/v1/chat/completions`; TTFT = time to first token, TPOT = mean
+inter-token latency, per request.
+
+| metric | FP8 per-expert (n=200) | FP8 batched (n=100) | BF16 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| GSM8K accuracy | 93.0 % | 91.0 % | 90.5 / 90.0 % |
+| TTFT median | 67.4 ms | 65.0 ms | 68.8 / 69.5 ms |
+| TPOT median | 17.45 ms | **13.08 ms** | 18.26 / 18.39 ms |
+| TPOT p90 | 17.65 ms | **13.28 ms** | 18.38 / 18.52 ms |
+| Throughput | 57.3 tok/s | **76.4 tok/s** | 54.8 / 54.4 tok/s |
+| Decode speedup vs BF16 | 1.05× | **1.41×** | 1.00× |
+
+- **Accuracy: unchanged.** FP8 is nominally +0.5 … +2.5 pts above BF16, but at
+  n=100–200 the standard error is ~2–3 pts, so they are statistically
+  indistinguishable. The takeaway is that neither FP8 quantization nor the
+  strided-batched rounding degrades accuracy.
+- **Decode: FP8 1.41× faster** once batched (TPOT 13.08 vs 18.39 ms), with a
+  tight p90. The per-expert version was only ~1.05× — the ~768 tiny M=1 launches
+  per token dominated; batching them into ~48 unlocked most of the FP8
+  expert-weight-bandwidth saving.
+- **Prefill (TTFT): comparable.** A multi-length sweep (113 / 561 / 1681 tokens)
+  gave FP8 480 / 362 / 2451 ms vs BF16 558 / 282 / 2287 ms — non-monotonic, i.e.
+  dominated by fixed overhead (cuBLAS lazy init + FP8's one-time per-shape
+  heuristic), not prefill compute, at these lengths.
+
+## Single-GPU (TP=1)
+
+FP8 runs gpt-oss-20b on **one** 5090 (`bench-gpt-oss --tp 1`, GPU6): TTFT 538 ms,
+TPOT 29.0 ms, 34.5 tok/s. BF16 cannot (39 GB > 32 GB). This — fitting a model
+that otherwise needs two GPUs onto one — is the largest practical win.
+
+## Follow-ups (not done)
+
+- Per-channel (per-output-row) weight scales for better accuracy headroom than
+  per-tensor.
+- Warm common prefill shapes at load to hide the first-request heuristic stall.
+- Sparse (top-k only) MoE compute instead of dense — currently every token runs
+  all experts, so only ~top_k/num_experts of the FP8 GEMM work is used.

+# Benchmark: xserv vs llama.cpp (Qwen3-8B)
+
+**What this adds.** A standing baseline that compares xserv against **llama.cpp**
+on both **response quality (correctness)** and **performance (TTFT / TPOT /
+throughput)**, using the same model weights and standard public datasets. This
+replaces HF transformers as our reference point — xserv already beat HF, so it
+is no longer a useful performance bar.
+
+- **Baseline engine**: llama.cpp, vendored as a submodule pinned to `b9371`,
+  built with CUDA for SM120 (RTX 5090).
+- **Same weights**: the Qwen3-8B safetensors are converted to a **BF16 GGUF**
+  (`convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype bf16`) — no quantization, so the comparison
+  is apples-to-apples.
+- **Standard quality datasets**: **AIME 2025** (30 competition-math problems,
+  exact-match boxed integer) and **GSM8K** (grade-school math, exact-match).
+- **Black-box HTTP**: both engines are driven through the OpenAI-compatible
+  streaming API; the driver measures TTFT/TPOT/throughput and scores answers.
+
+See `docs/16-llama-cpp-comparison.md` for the design and `tools/bench/` for the
+driver. One-click: `tools/sync-and-build.sh bench`.
+
+## How it runs
+
+The GPU host (dash5) has no outbound network, so datasets are fetched locally
+(`tools/bench/fetch_datasets.py`) into JSON and the llama.cpp source is shipped
+over with the project; everything builds and runs on the GPU host. The driver
+runs **one engine at a time** (two BF16 8B models do not co-reside on a 32GB
+GPU, and a resident idle engine would distort the other's numbers).
+
+Generation mode is matched: xserv hardcodes Qwen3 **thinking off**, so the
+driver sends `chat_template_kwargs={enable_thinking:false}` to llama.cpp.
+
+## Results (RTX 5090, BF16, greedy, 8192 ctx, max_batch 4)
+
+### Performance — llama.cpp is the stronger baseline
+
+| scenario | metric | xserv | llama.cpp | xserv ÷ llama.cpp |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| single / medium | TTFT p50 (ms) | 28.0 | 17.7 | 0.63× |
+| single / medium | TPOT p50 (ms/tok) | 17.5 | 10.4 | 0.60× |
+| single / medium | throughput (tok/s) | 56.6 | 95.1 | 0.60× |
+| concurrent-4 | throughput (tok/s) | 135.2 | 317.1 | 0.43× |
+| concurrent-8 | throughput (tok/s) | 135.5 | 322.5 | 0.42× |
+
+xserv runs at **~0.42–0.60×** llama.cpp. It saturates at `max_batch` (~135 tok/s)
+while llama.cpp keeps scaling under load (~322 tok/s). This is the honest new bar.
+The ratio is the same at 4096 and 8192 — TPOT is bandwidth-bound, not
+context-bound at these sizes.
+
+### Quality — parity, confirming xserv's numerical fidelity
+
+| task | n | xserv | llama.cpp |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| GSM8K | 50 | 100.0% (50/50) | 96.0% (48/50) |
+| AIME 2025 | 30 | 16.7% (5/30) | 23.3% (7/30) |
+
+With equal context the two engines land at comparable AIME accuracy (within
+the ±2-problem greedy-decode wobble band) and xserv edges ahead on GSM8K. At
+8192 both generate full-length solutions (mean ~4.2k tokens), so neither is
+truncated. The AIME difference (2 problems) is entirely within the run-to-run
+non-determinism documented below. Per-problem analysis shows the disagreements
+are due to different greedy-decode paths (different token at position ~500+
+cascades into a different solution), not systematic precision errors.
+
+On GSM8K, xserv strictly dominates: it gets 2 problems right that llama.cpp
+misses, and never misses one that llama.cpp gets.
+
+## Findings the benchmark surfaced
+
+1. **Context must be provisioned per-request, not total.** A first run showed
+   xserv 20.0% vs llama.cpp 3.3% on AIME — an artifact: llama.cpp divides total
+   `-c` across `--parallel` slots, so `-c 4096 --parallel 4` gave each request
+   only **1024 tokens**, truncating long AIME solutions before the boxed answer
+   (capped at ~940 generated tokens). GSM8K (~280 tokens) was unaffected, which
+   is how we caught it. Fixed: per-slot context = `max_seq_len` (total
+   `-c = max_seq_len × parallel`). After the fix, AIME is at parity (above).
+2. **xserv OOM'd at `--max-seq-len 8192` — now fixed.** xserv used to eagerly
+   pre-allocate its paged-KV pool (`blocks_per_seq × max_batch × 2`, ~9GB at
+   8192) on top of the 16GB weights, exceeding 32GB at startup. Fixed by sizing
+   the pool to *available VRAM* (`cudaMemGetInfo`) instead of worst-case demand,
+   plus vLLM-style **swap to pinned host memory**: when running sequences grow
+   past the GPU pool, the newest are evicted to host and swapped back when blocks
+   free up (`--swap-space-gb`, default 8). The results above run at 8192 with **0
+   swap events** — the VRAM-sized pool alone covers this load; swap is the
+   overload safety net (verified lossless under a forced-small pool).
+3. **xserv decode is not run-to-run deterministic.** The same greedy (temp 0)
+   AIME config produced 6/30 / 7/30 / 6/30 across runs — non-deterministic CUDA
+   reductions flip an argmax over long (~3k-token) generations. Harmless for
+   serving, but it explains why long-sequence accuracy wobbles by a problem.
+4. **GEMV race condition corrupted decode outputs — now fixed.** The custom
+   K-split GEMV kernel (used for all M=1 decode-step projections with N≥256)
+   had a race condition: block k=0 zeroed the FP32 accumulator (`y_fp32[col] =
+   0.0`) while other K-blocks were already atomicAdding to it. Since CUDA
+   provides no inter-block ordering within a single kernel launch, the zero
+   could land before, during, or after other blocks' writes. Fix:
+   `cudaMemsetAsync` on the stream before the kernel launch, which guarantees
+   the buffer is zeroed before any block executes. This bug was introduced
+   after the initial benchmark and caused systematic decode-time precision
+   errors that degraded GSM8K accuracy from 98→80% range.
+
+Raw artifacts (per-request timings, per-problem prediction/gold) are written to
+`bench-out/` as `comparison-<stamp>.{md,json}` (gitignored).

+- The 24-layer decode loop is already fully async (no per-layer syncs), so kernel
+  launches hide behind GPU work — a CUDA graph would buy ~0.5–1.5 ms, not 2×.
+- **TP=2→TP=4 probe**: TPOT 13.5→10.2 ms (FP8) with the *same* launch count and
+  *more* NCCL — confirms the bottleneck is **expert HBM traffic + all-reduce**,
+  not launch overhead.
+- Even FP8 TP=4 (10.2 ms) can't catch llama TP=2 (6.6 ms): the gap is
+  *algorithmic*. llama is **sparse (top-4 of 32 experts) + 4-bit (MXFP4)**;
+  xserv is **dense (all 16 local experts) + 8-bit (FP8)** → ~8× the expert bytes
+  per token. Dense also makes xserv's long-prefill TTFT worse.
+
+The two levers that close it: **sparse top-k MoE** (≈4×, the bigger structural
+change) and **4-bit weights** (≈2×).
+
+## MXFP4 W4A16 (this change) — correct, smallest, not yet faster than FP8
+
+Weight-only 4-bit: expert weights are MXFP4 (E2M1 + per-32 UE8M0 scale,
+`tools/quantize_mxfp4.py`); a fused kernel reads the 4-bit weights and
+dequantizes on-chip to BF16. Decode uses `batched_gemv_mxfp4`; prefill (M>1)
+dequantizes to BF16 then reuses the BF16 batched GEMM.
+
+| | MXFP4 W4A16 | FP8 W8A8 | BF16 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Model size | **13 GB** | 22 GB | 39 GB |
+| Greedy tokens | identical | identical | baseline |
+| Decode TPOT (TP=2) | 17.0 ms | **13.5 ms** | 18.8 ms |
+| Decode TPOT (TP=4) | 11.8 ms | **10.2 ms** | — |
+| Prefill TTFT | 350 ms | **134 ms** | 135 ms |
+
+- **Correct** (byte-identical greedy tokens to FP8/BF16) and **smallest
+  footprint** — fits one 32 GB 5090 with ample room for KV cache.
+- **Not faster than FP8**: the hand-written W4A16 dequant-GEMV (no tensor cores)
+  is less efficient than cuBLASLt's FP8 tensor-core GEMM, so even reading half
+  the bytes it stays ~2–3.5 ms behind FP8 at every TP. The TP=4 scaling
+  (17→11.8) shows it *is* partly memory-bound; a fixed per-GEMM inefficiency
+  dominates. Vectorized loads, hoisted scale, warp reduction, and shared-memory
+  activation tiling did not change it.
+- **Prefill regresses** (350 vs 134 ms) — the dequant-to-BF16 fallback.
+
+Committed as a **memory-optimization foundation**, not a decode speedup.
+
+## To make 4-bit actually win
+
+- **FP4 tensor cores (W4A4)** — cuBLASLt block-scaled MXFP4 GEMM
+  (`CUDA_R_4F_E2M1` + `CUBLASLT_MATMUL_MATRIX_SCALE_VEC32_UE8M0`, available on
+  sm_120). Tensor-core throughput *at* 4-bit would beat FP8. Risk: the scale
+  swizzle layout.
+- A **Marlin-class W4A16 kernel** (register-blocked, async-copy pipelined).
+- **Sparse top-k MoE** for the larger, llama-matching win.
+
+FP8 (the plan-cache fix + strided-batched optimization, 1.41× over BF16) remains
+xserv's best-performing quantization today.

+# Phase 10 Benchmark: Qwen3-8B
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-22
+**Hardware**: RTX 5090 (32GB, CC 12.0)
+**Model**: Qwen3-8B (BF16, 36 layers, 4096 hidden, 32/8 GQA heads)
+**Config**: 50 prompts × 20 generated tokens, greedy decoding, KV cache
+
+## Correctness
+
+| Metric | Result |
+|--------|--------|
+| Prefill Top-1 match vs HF | **42/50 (84.0%)** |
+| Prefill Top-5 match vs HF | **50/50 (100.0%)** |
+| Greedy sequence match | 0/50 (expected — BF16 drift over decode) |
+
+The 100% top-5 match confirms the model is computing correctly.
+Greedy sequence divergence is due to BF16 precision (7-bit mantissa)
+accumulating across 36 layers of decode steps. Both xserv and HF
+produce coherent, valid completions — they just pick different
+equally-likely tokens at close-logit decision points.
+
+## Performance
+
+| Metric | xserv | transformers (BF16) | Ratio |
+|--------|-------|--------------------:|-------|
+| TTFT (avg) | 138.5 ms | 21.2 ms | 6.5x slower |
+| TBT (avg) | 144.2 ms | 21.9 ms | 6.6x slower |
+| Throughput | 6.9 tok/s | 45.6 tok/s | 0.15x |
+
+## Remaining Performance Gap
+
+~6.6x slower than HF for an 8B BF16 model. Main bottlenecks:
+1. CPU round-trips for add/mul/reshape/merge_heads (~100 per forward pass)
+2. KV cache stored on CPU (rebuilt as GPU tensor each step)
+3. cuBLAS handle per matmul
+4. No kernel fusion
+5. GQA repeat_kv copies data instead of kernel-level indexing
+
+## Output Quality (Sample)
+
+| Prompt | xserv Output |
+|--------|-------------|
+| "The capital of France is" | "Paris. The capital of France is Paris..." |
+| "Climate change is caused by" | "human activities, and the effects are already being felt..." |
+| "The human brain contains approximately" | "86 billion neurons. Each neuron can form synapses..." |
+| "Python is a popular programming language because" | "it is easy to learn and use..." |

+| Prefill Top-1 match vs HF | **9/10 (90%)** |
+| Avg Top-5 overlap vs HF | **4.0/5** |
+| Result vs pre-FA2 naive attention | **Identical** (same 9/10 top-1, same 4.0/5 overlap) |
+
+The single top-1 mismatch ("Explain quantum computing.") has logits differing by 0.125
+(22.000 vs 21.875) — within BF16 precision. The top-5 sets are identical (5/5 overlap).

+| Eliminating repeat_kv GPU alloc + copy (per layer) | ~10% |

+| Scheduling speedup | **6.0x** |
+| Throughput | 11.4 tok/s |
+
+Continuous batching scheduling confirmed working (decode batch_size=4 in logs).
+
+## Remaining Performance Gap
+
+35% of HF throughput. Main bottlenecks:
+
+| Bottleneck | Impact | Fix |
+|-----------|--------|-----|
+| **Decode Q_len=1 inefficiency** | FA2 kernel: 64 threads, only 1 active (owns_row=true for single query) | Specialized decode attention kernel (vector-dot against KV, parallel reduction along S) |
+| **No kernel fusion** | RMSNorm+residual, SiLU*up: separate kernels, redundant HBM reads/writes | Fused kernels (Phase 15) |
+| **No CUDA Graphs** | ~100+ kernel launches per decode step, each has host-side overhead | Capture decode iteration as CUDA Graph (Phase 15) |
+| **Per-seq forward (no batched decode)** | With batch=4, 4 serial forward passes per iteration | Batched projections + per-seq attention (Phase 15, depends on FA2 decode kernel) |
+| **No vectorized loads in FA2** | Scalar bf16→f32 conversion in dot product loop | float4 / bfloat162 vectorized loads |
+
+## Memory Usage
+
+| Component | Naive (Phase 11) | FA2 (Phase 14) |
+|-----------|-----------------|----------------|
+| Score matrix [1, 32, S, S] | S² × 32 × 2B | **0** |
+| repeat_kv K/V [1, 32, S, 128] | 2 × S × 32 × 128 × 2B per layer | **0** |
+| K^T contiguous copy | S × 32 × 128 × 2B per layer | **0** |
+
+For S=256 (current max): savings ~6 MB per layer × 36 layers ≈ 216 MB.
+For S=2048: savings ~384 MB per layer × 36 layers ≈ 13.5 GB (naive would OOM).
