GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PPCommNCCL.send method in the Torch NCCL communication path has been refactored to replace event-based synchronization with stream-based synchronization. When not in CUDA graph capture mode, the method now clones the input tensor, synchronizes send_stream with the current CUDA stream, and performs NCCL send operations within that stream.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
NCCL Send Synchronization Refactor
tensorrt_llm/_torch/distributed/communicator.py
Replaced event-based wait mechanism in PPCommNCCL.send with stream-based synchronization for non-graph-capture path; added tensor cloning and stream wait-stream call; CUDA graph capture path and recv path unchanged

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description check ⚠️ Warning The PR description is mostly empty—it contains only the template with no actual content in the Description, Test Coverage, or PR Checklist sections (despite the checkbox being marked). Add a detailed description explaining the write-write race condition being fixed, the solution approach (tensor cloning and stream synchronization), and list specific test cases that validate this fix.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.
✅ Passed checks (1 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The title clearly describes the fix: avoiding a write-write race condition in async pipeline parallel send operations. It directly relates to the changes in the communicator code.

✏️ Tip: You can configure your own custom Pre-merge checks in the settings.

828-828: Remove unused tensor_ready_event attribute.

After replacing event-based synchronization with stream-based synchronization at lines 841-842, tensor_ready_event is no longer referenced anywhere in the class. This attribute should be removed to eliminate dead code.

🔎 Proposed fix
-        self.tensor_ready_event = torch.cuda.Event()
         self.send_stream = torch.cuda.Stream()
🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In @tensorrt_llm/_torch/distributed/communicator.py:
- Around line 841-842: Add an inline comment immediately before the
tensor.clone() call in the send path (the block that uses
self.send_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.current_stream())) explaining that the
clone creates an independent copy to avoid write-write races: the async NCCL
send operates on the cloned tensor in the dedicated send_stream so the caller
can safely modify the original tensor while the send is in progress. This
comment should reference tensor.clone() and the
send_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.current_stream()) call so future readers
understand why the copy is required.

**/*.py: The code developed for TensorRT-LLM should conform to Python 3.8+
Indent Python code with 4 spaces. Do not use tabs
Always maintain the namespace when importing Python modules, even if only one class or function from a module is used
Python filenames should use snake_case (e.g., some_file.py)
Python classes should use PascalCase (e.g., class SomeClass)
Python functions and methods should use snake_case (e.g., def my_awesome_function():)
Python local variables should use snake_case, with prefix k for variable names that start with a number (e.g., k_99th_percentile)
Python global variables should use upper snake_case with prefix G (e.g., G_MY_GLOBAL)
Python constants should use upper snake_case (e.g., MY_CONSTANT)
Avoid shadowing variables declared in an outer scope in Python
Initialize all externally visible members of a Python class in the constructor
For Python interfaces that may be used outside a file, prefer docstrings over comments
Use comments in Python for code within a function, or interfaces that are local to a file
Use Google-style docstrings for Python classes and functions, which can be parsed by Sphinx
Python attributes and variables can be documented inline with the format """<type>: Description"""
Avoid using reflection in Python when functionality can be easily achieved without reflection
When using try-except blocks in Python, limit the except clause to the smallest set of errors possible
When using try-except blocks in Python to handle multiple possible variable types (duck-typing), keep the body of the try as small as possible and use the else block for the main logic

File: cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/allreduceOp.cpp:352-446
Timestamp: 2025-09-23T15:12:38.312Z
Learning: In TensorRT-LLM NCCL device implementation, NCCL version 2.28+ requirements are handled at runtime in the nccl_device/config layer rather than with compile-time guards. This allows the allreduceOp to remain version-agnostic and delegates version compatibility validation to the appropriate lower-level components that can gracefully handle unsupported configurations.

Learning: In MPI communication within TensorRT-LLM pipeline parallelism, different communication types (tokens, logits, termination sync) must use disjoint tag namespaces to avoid message routing collisions when using the same source/destination patterns.
