Summary

This PR adds GPU memory-aware inference simulation to SimAI 1.6, with support for Prefill-Decode (PD) disaggregation.

This is a clean resubmission of PR #243 with all review fixes applied.

Key Changes

GPU Memory Module (vidur-alibabacloud/)

  • GPU memory estimation for inference simulation
  • Support for DeepSeek-V3-671B, Qwen3-MoE-235B-A22B (FP8), Qwen3-Next-80B models
  • AICB integration for execution time prediction with CSV caching

PD Separation (Prefill-Decode Disaggregation)

  • pd_node_ratio parameter: 1 (default) = MIXED mode; (0,1) = PD separation enabled
  • Independent TP/PP/EP configuration for prefill and decode clusters
  • num_prefill_replicas override for fine-grained control
  • Full unit tests in tests/test_pd_separation.py (10 test cases)

Device & Node SKU Support

  • H20Dgx, H200Dgx, GB200 node SKU configurations

Review Fixes (from PR #243 feedback)

  • assertif not: raise ValueError() for better error messages
  • All logger.infologger.debug (36 places) to reduce noise
  • 7 TODOs resolved (deleted completed ones, converted remaining to NOTE comments)
  • _generate_or_find_bs1_csv() controlled by aicb_force_bs1 config flag
  • H20DgxNodeSKUConfig.device_sku_type corrected from H800 to H20
  • Added missing @dataclass decorators to H200/GB200 device SKU configs
  • pd_p2p_comm_dtype metadata: structured choices field
  • Renamed Qwen3235BA22BModelConfigQwen3Moe235BA22BModelConfig
  • Fixed qwen3-235B-A22B_FP8_config.json: architectures and eos_token_id

[EN] PR #268 Copilot Review — All Issues Addressed (commit 8f05712)

All 9 Copilot review comments have been addressed in the latest commit:

# File Issue Resolution
1 mfu_calculator.py ParamCounter returns memory bytes, not param count — MFU semantic inconsistency TODO added: Known design limitation documented with TODO(tianhao909). Will be refactored when ParamCounter API is unified.
2 memory_planner.py get_max_batch_size returns prefill only, should return min(prefill, decode) Comment added: In PD disaggregation, prefill and decode are independent clusters with separate schedulers. Each cluster manages its own batch size independently. Returning prefill capacity is correct for the current architecture.
3 memory_planner.py Float division / should be integer // Fixed: Changed / to // for kvcache_size_per_layer_per_token in critical paths.
4 .gitignore Directory-level ignore blocks negation rules Fixed: Added !data/aicb_workload/ before file-level negation rules.
5 simulator.py print() should use logger.warning() Fixed: Replaced print(f"[WARNING]...") with logger.warning(...).
6 sklearn_execution_time_predictor.py Hardcoded linear predictions instead of real models Comment added: This is the AICB backend's intentional design — uses empirical linear formulas for new MoE models lacking profiling data. The vidur backend uses real sklearn models when profiling CSVs are available.
7 mfu_calculator.py Multiple print() statements bypass logging Fixed: Added logger = init_logger(__name__), replaced all print() with logger.debug()/logger.warning().
8 memory_planner.py seq_len=1 drastically underestimates KV cache TODO enriched: Expanded from 4-line to 15-line detailed TODO explaining: known limitation, planned fixes (per-request seq_len, dynamic allocation), and current workaround rationale.
9 metrics_store.py Duplicate write_image calls Fixed: Removed direct fig.write_image(), kept only _safe_write_image() which gracefully handles missing Kaleido/Chrome.

[ZH] PR #268 Copilot 评审 — 全部问题已处理 (commit 8f05712)

全部 9 条 Copilot 评审评论已在最新 commit 中处理:

# 文件 问题 处理方式
1 mfu_calculator.py ParamCounter 返回内存字节而非参数个数 — MFU 语义不一致 添加 TODO:已记录已知设计限制 TODO(tianhao909)。待 ParamCounter API 统一后重构。
2 memory_planner.py get_max_batch_size 仅返回 prefill,应返回 min(prefill, decode) 添加注释:PD 分离下,prefill 和 decode 是独立集群,各自调度器独立管理 batch size。返回 prefill 容量在当前架构下是正确的。
3 memory_planner.py 浮点除法 / 应改为整数除法 // 已修复:关键路径中 kvcache_size_per_layer_per_token 计算从 / 改为 //
4 .gitignore 目录级忽略规则阻断了后续 negation 已修复:在文件级 negation rules 前添加 !data/aicb_workload/
5 simulator.py print() 应使用 logger.warning() 已修复print(f"[WARNING]...") 替换为 logger.warning(...)
6 sklearn_execution_time_predictor.py 硬编码线性预测代替真实模型 添加注释:这是 AICB 后端的设计意图——对缺少 profiling 数据的新 MoE 模型使用经验线性公式。vidur 后端在有 profiling CSV 时使用真实 sklearn 模型。
7 mfu_calculator.py 多处 print() 绕过日志系统 已修复:添加 logger = init_logger(__name__),所有 print() 替换为 logger.debug()/logger.warning()
8 memory_planner.py seq_len=1 严重低估 KV cache 丰富 TODO:从 4 行扩展为 15 行详细 TODO,说明已知限制、计划修复方案(per-request seq_len、动态分配)及当前设计原因。
9 metrics_store.py 重复的 write_image 调用 已修复:移除直接的 fig.write_image(),仅保留 _safe_write_image() 以优雅处理缺少 Kaleido/Chrome 的情况。

Round-3 Fix Report: FlashMLA h_q Alignment Issue Correction / 第三轮修复报告

Commit: 1b547ca | 3 files changed | config.py, execution_time.py, test_tutorial_report_cn.md

Correction / 修正

Previous (incorrect): "DeepSeek-671B prefill fails with bs>1 on H20 (sparse FlashAttention kernel assertion)"

Corrected: DeepSeek-V3-671B prefill AICB profiling fails on H20 (SM90) when tp≥4, due to FlashMLA flash_mla_sparse_fwd kernel's h_q alignment requirement (B_H=64). This does not affect decode or other models.

Root Cause / 根因

FlashMLA SM90 prefill sparse kernel requires params.h_q % B_H == 0 (B_H=64, compile-time constant for WGMMA 64×64 tile).

  • DeepSeek-V3 has num_attention_heads=128, so h_q = 128 / tp
  • tp=1 → h_q=128 ✅ | tp=2 → h_q=64 ✅ | tp=4 → h_q=32 ❌ | tp=8 → h_q=16 ❌
  • Source: config.h

Updated Verification Matrix / 更新验证矩阵

DeepSeek-V3-671B Prefill (seq=1024, H20 SM90)

tp h_q bs=1 bs=2 bs=4 bs=8
1 128
2 64
4 32
8 16

Key finding: Failure is determined by tp (h_q alignment), NOT by batch size. bs=2/4/8 all pass when tp≤2.

Decode (tp=8, bs=2): ✅ — decode uses different kernel, unaffected by B_H.

Why Not Fix in AICB / 为何不在此PR修改AICB代码

AICB is a separate repository maintained by others. This PR only modifies vidur-alibabacloud/. The approach is: document the limitation + verify degradation path + correct error descriptions.

Changes in This Commit / 本次修改

File Change
vidur/config/config.py Corrected aicb_force_bs1 help text: "bs>1 fails" → FlashMLA h_q alignment
vidur/entities/execution_time.py Corrected Safe Mode docstring and Known Issue comments

Round-4 Fix: Complete bs=8 Verification / 第四轮修复: bs=8 完整验证

Re: [#4285685324] "bs=8的两个- 是啥意思啊?是测不了还是测了会报错啊?"

[EN]

The two "—" marks in the verification matrix (Appendix A.4) for DeepSeek tp=4/8 bs=8 have been replaced with actual test results.

Result: Both cases FAIL with the exact same error as bs=1/2/4:

Assertion failed (...fwd.cu:647): params.h_q % B_H == 0

Additionally, Qwen3-Next-80B bs=8 has been verified as PASS (it uses FlashInfer, not FlashMLA).

Case Model tp bs Result Note
1 Qwen3-Next-80B 1 8 PASS Uses FlashInfer, no B_H constraint
2 DeepSeek-671B 4 8 FAIL h_q=32, 32%64≠0, same as bs=1/2/4
3 DeepSeek-671B 8 8 FAIL h_q=16, 16%64≠0, same as bs=1/2/4

The failure is entirely determined by tp (h_q alignment), independent of bs. The previous "—" marks were simply untested cases, not a different failure mode.

Updated matrix (all cells now verified, no "—" remaining):

tp h_q=128/tp bs=1 bs=2 bs=4 bs=8 Conclusion
1 128 h_q=128, 128%64=0, all pass
2 64 h_q=64, 64%64=0, boundary pass
4 32 h_q=32, 32%64≠0, all fail
8 16 h_q=16, 16%64≠0, all fail

See test report Appendix A.9 for full experiment logs (commands, exit codes, error signatures).

[ZH]

验证矩阵 (附录 A.4) 中 DeepSeek tp=4/8 bs=8 的 "—" 已替换为实际测试结果。

结果: 两个 case 均 FAIL,错误签名与 bs=1/2/4 完全一致:
params.h_q % B_H == 0

另外,Qwen3-Next-80B bs=8 已验证为 PASS (使用 FlashInfer,不受约束)。

之前的 "—" 标记仅表示当时未测试,不代表不同的失败模式。失败完全由 tp 决定 (h_q 对齐),与 bs 无关。

详细实验日志见测试报告附录 A.9。

Re: [#4285699131] "params.h_q % B_H == 0 — 当时vllm源码怎么写的,现在怎么写的?"

运行时要求 params.h_q % B_H == 0。AICB 按 h_q = num_attention_heads / tp 计算每个
TP rank 的 head 数量。对于 DeepSeek-V3 (num_attention_heads=128):

tp h_q h_q % 64 结果
1 128 0 PASS
2 64 0 PASS
4 32 32 FAIL
8 16 16 FAIL

第二层: 上游最新版本观察

  • FlashMLA main 分支 (截至 2026-04-21): B_H=64 未变 (config.h)
  • 代码结构重构: 断言从 fwd.cu:647 移至 phase1.cuh,但约束逻辑不变
  • 上游 FlashMLA PR #150 (2026-01-16) 做了多处重构,但 B_H 值未修改

结论: 上游最新版本仍有此约束,非 pinned 版本特有问题。

vLLM 源码对照 (回答 reviewer: "vllm源码怎么写的")

(a) vLLM v0.11.0 (AICB pinned) 中的调用路径:

层级 文件 关键内容
ops 层 vllm/attention/ops/flashmla.py flash_mla_sparse_prefill() → 调用 torch.ops._flashmla_C.sparse_prefill_fwd
backend 层 vllm/v1/attention/backends/mla/flashmla_sparse.py (544行) 导入 flash_mla_sparse_prefill,prefill 阶段直接调用
  • 无 head padding 机制: h_q 直接传入 CUDA kernel,h_q < 64 → 触发 B_H=64 断言失败

(b) AICB 的调用路径:

层级 文件 关键内容
入口 AiobDeepSeek.py:235 调用 flash_mla_sparse_fwd() (直接导入 flash_mla Python 包)
  • Python 入口函数名不同: vLLM 用 flash_mla_sparse_prefill,AICB 用 flash_mla_sparse_fwd
  • 底层执行相同的 FlashMLA SM90 CUDA sparse prefill kernel
  • h_q 计算方式一致: h_q = num_attention_heads // tp
  • 结论: AICB 仿真调用路径与 vLLM v0.11.0 的真实推理路径在底层 CUDA kernel 层面一致

(c) latest vLLM 补充备注:

版本标注: vLLM main HEAD 582340f27 (约 v0.18.2, 截至 2026-04-21)

DeepSeek-V3 tp h_q v0.11.0 行为 main 行为 main workaround 路径
tp=1 128 PASS PASS 不需要
tp=2 64 PASS PASS 不需要
tp=4 32 FAIL PASS BF16 prefill + head padding (32→64)
tp=8 16 FAIL PASS mixed batch FP8 decode kernel (绕过 BF16 prefill)
  • 新增 MIN_HEADS_FOR_BF16_PREFILL = 32 (L63)
  • tp=4 (h_q=32): 32 < 32 = False → BF16 prefill + head padding 到 64
  • tp=8 (h_q=16): 16 < 32 = True → mixed batch FP8 → 绕过 BF16 prefill 约束
  • 备注: 此 workaround 不影响当前 AICB 结论,因为 AICB pinned 的是 v0.11.0

第三层: 仿真与真实一致性

  • AICB 的 h_q = num_heads // tp 与真实 vLLM 推理时的 head 分配逻辑一致
  • 真实 vLLM 在 tp>=4 时也会触发同样的 FlashMLA 断言
  • vLLM v0.11.0: AICB 仿真行为 = vLLM 真实推理行为(都会在 tp>=4 触发断言)
  • vLLM main (582340f27): 已通过两种方式规避了此问题:
    • tp=4 (h_q=32): 在调用 kernel 前将 h_q 从 32 填充到 64 (head padding),使其满足 h_q % 64 == 0,不再触发断言
    • tp=8 (h_q=16): 切换到 FP8 mixed batch decode kernel,完全绕过了 BF16 sparse prefill 路径,不会触发 B_H=64 约束
    • 但这不影响当前 AICB 结论,因为 AICB pinned 的是 v0.11.0,该版本没有以上 workaround
  • 结论: 仿真行为 = 真实行为(都会触发),仿真是准确的
