Description

Implements the opt-in prototype proposed in #19726. Variable-width beam search normally runs the model at max_beam_width even when only a smaller prefix of beams is active. compact_beam_widths=[20, 300] gathers those active rows for model execution and restores capacity-stride logits for the existing sampler.

The option defaults to disabled. KV allocation, physical KV page IDs, parent-beam indices, and sampler layouts remain at capacity. Each configured execution width has its own metadata buffers and CUDA graph key. Eager workspace references are released after forward, including exceptions.

Initial support is single-GPU dense Llama, Qwen2 and Qwen3 with TRTLLM attention, pure single-token decode, and a uniform input beam width across real requests. Model support requires an explicit class capability declaration. Configured widths must be at least 2 and smaller than capacity. Width-one steps and unsupported/unconfigured inputs use capacity execution; LoRA combinations are rejected. Public-model validation below covers Qwen3; Llama/Qwen2 model-level coverage remains for upstream CI.

The branch merges main at 3024eb446e7251e8aa204442a11c57e0f090b53f. Both compact widths and the new engine-owned static-input configuration are retained, along with upstream's NCCL graph lifecycle changes. A parameterized GPU regression checks width switching and refreshed inputs with separate and shared engine buffers. The refactored decoder integration and attention/MoE workspace cleanup remain covered.

Correctness and numerical behavior

Changing forward shape can change attention/GEMM kernel selection and floating-point reductions. This option does not guarantee bitwise equality, identical beam rankings, or identical top-1 for arbitrary workloads, and does not change the engine's numerical policy.

Fresh public Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B BF16/full-vocabulary checks:

  • Capacity 5, schedule [2,2,4,4,5,5], eager/CUDA graphs × overlap off/on: 104 paired request-result comparisons retained identical full ordered token lists. This includes 30/62-token KV-page-boundary prompts, EOS enabled, forced EOS, stop tokens, and decoding 32 tokens past the end of the width array. Single-request graph padding, one-step generation and unconfigured-width fallback also matched.
  • Scores matched in three configurations. Eager without overlap had a maximum paired score difference of 0.12307882 in a KV-page-boundary case. Repeating that configuration's full suite with a shared numerical policy matched every token, rank, score and finish reason in all 26 paired request-result comparisons.
  • Capacity 500, schedule [20,20,300,300,500,500], default numerical policy: top-1 matched for both prompts, but candidate intersections were 487/500 and 255/500, with only 39/500 and 8/500 in the same rank. Maximum shared-candidate score differences were 0.28159046 and 2.18630552. These are substantial candidate/ranking differences, not merely tail reordering.
  • The same capacity-500 case with both sides using MMHA block size 256, cuBLASLt and BF16 reduced-precision/split-K reductions disabled matched all 500 candidates, their ordering and scores exactly across repeated runs. These settings are diagnostic controls and are not introduced by the PR. They support a numerical-path explanation without proving default-policy equivalence.

During earlier validation of the same rc0 runtime, a width-one-to-wider schedule hit an existing sampler row-count assertion in the unmodified installed rc0 wheel, independently of compact execution. That runtime case is recorded as an rc0 validation limitation, not a passing compact test. The PR retains its width-one fallback. A decreasing schedule was also checked and correctly rejected by the existing main executor, which requires non-decreasing widths.

Geometric mean latency reduction across pair medians: 7.72%. Approximate 95% paired t interval on log ratios: 7.37–8.07% (six independent process pairs).

GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72GB Blackwell; PyTorch 2.14.0+cu132; precompiled TensorRT-LLM 1.4.0rc0. Model revision c1899de289a04d12100db370d81485cdf75e47ca, BF16/full vocabulary, capacity 500 and schedule [20,20,300,300,500,500], two prompts, CUDA graphs and overlap enabled, KV block reuse disabled.

Six fresh-process pairs alternated A/B and B/A order. Each process ran three warmups and 40 timed calls. Only compact_beam_widths changed between sides; default numerical policy and the native sampler were used. Measurements are synchronized wall-clock latency of a two-request LLM.generate call, including output handling. GPU jobs ran sequentially. This is a closed-loop latency experiment, not an offered-QPS load test or a general speedup claim. Additional graph memory, warmup, metadata packing and full-vocabulary logits padding remain costs.

Public-model reproducer

Run baseline and compact in separate fresh processes, alternating order. Use a matching build of this PR for current-main validation, or the documented rc0 compatibility setup for the local measurements.

Validation scope and remaining checks

  • 115 focused GPU tests passed: compact row/KV metadata mapping, graph buffer identity and width switching, fallbacks, model capability guards, workspace lifetime, refactored-decoder integration, dual-scope cleanup, and separate/shared engine-input capture/replay.
  • 89 CPU schema tests passed, including six new accepted/rejected compact-width cases. Official schema generation/check and telemetry manifest check passed using the current configuration sources. Main's pre-existing stale Mooncake schema fields and omitted lm_head_output_dtype were regenerated too; comparison against regenerated unmodified-main schemas isolates this PR's added compact field. The visual-generation schema now has no diff against main.
  • Repository pre-commit checks and git diff --check passed. The GPU executor directory is already listed in l0_h100.yml and l0_b300.yml; the schema test is explicitly listed in l0_cpu.yml.
  • Local runtime validation used rc0 binaries with isolated candidate Python sources, including the complete candidate compaction/graph modules, current-main attention metadata classes, the candidate model-forward method, and main's already-landed beam-width iteration fix. The refactored decoder integration method was also exercised directly with mocked surrounding components. This is not a matching current-main build or a full current-main runtime/ABI pass; full-package import against rc0 fails on a missing newer KV-cache binding. The merged graph module also calls newer NCCL-window binary APIs missing from rc0. The private TP=1-only harness substitutes no-ops for those APIs, so NCCL window semantics are not validated; these adapters are not included in the PR. Matching-build upstream CI remains necessary.
  • Workload-specific numerical-quality acceptance, broader supported model-family coverage and telemetry/privacy CODEOWNER review remain pending. The API is additive and disabled by default; the PR has api-compatible.

PR Checklist

  • Reviewed the applicable checklist items; test coverage and remaining validation are recorded above.
  • Documentation, generated configuration schemas and telemetry manifest updated.
  • Contribution commit uses the personal account identity and Git-generated DCO sign-off.

Dev Engineer Review

  • compact_beam_widths is opt-in and defaults to an empty list. The implementation adds compact forward execution for supported variable-width beam-search batches while keeping capacity-width KV allocation and sampler layouts.
  • The change adds model capability declarations for Llama, Qwen2, and Qwen3. Runtime guards and fallback paths limit compaction to eligible inputs. CUDA graph keys include execution width, and graph metadata buffers must remain stable during replay.
  • The code and tests address metadata-buffer lifetime, eager view reuse, input packing, logits restoration, and cleanup after forward exceptions. Validate these paths in a matching build; the supplied validation reports use rc0 binaries with isolated candidate sources, and matching-build upstream CI remains necessary.
  • The serve schemas also change Mooncake descriptions and stage_through_host default, and add lm_head_output_dtype. These changes are outside the compact-beam objective and warrant separate review for compatibility and intended scope.
  • The supplied performance and output comparisons are workload-specific. The high-capacity default-policy comparisons show changed candidate ranking and scores. Numerical-quality acceptance and broader model-family coverage remain pending.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified tests cover execution-width selection and fallback, input and metadata updates, cache lifetime and isolation, CUDA graph capture/replay, configuration validation, model capability guards, input-preparation ordering, and workspace cleanup. Schema tests cover accepted and rejected compact_beam_widths values.
  • The supplied summary reports GPU and CPU test runs, but local runtime validation used rc0 binaries rather than a matching current build. Full current-main runtime and ABI validation remains pending.
  • No integration test-list changes are shown. These changes add unit tests, not integration tests that require CI or manual-QA list entries.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Matching-build CI, workload-specific numerical-quality acceptance, and broader model-family validation remain outstanding.

Fixed the eager-view cache finding in 3e5bd3f.

On an eager cache miss, obsolete batch-shape entries for the same metadata source and execution width are evicted. Cache hits avoid the eviction scan, and CUDA graph views retain their metadata and buffer identities.

Added six regression cases covering old view/GPU-buffer release, growing and shrinking batches, and isolation across sources and widths. The graph-runner test now interleaves eager batch-size changes with strict-buffer-checked graph replay. These tests are covered by the existing executor-directory entry in l0_h100.yml.

Validation using the v1.4.0rc0 source overlay and matching installed binaries on an RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell:

  • All six new cases fail on the pre-fix code and pass with the fix.
  • Related compact/graph/workspace tests: 74 passed, 8 subtests passed.
  • All 31 compact tests also pass with strict-buffer checking globally enabled.
  • Repository pre-commit hooks pass. The changed runtime and test files are byte-identical between the PR checkout and the tested rc0 overlay; full main validation still requires upstream CI.
Additional debug-mode test result

Globally forcing TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_STRICT_BUFFERS=1 causes ten existing TestCaptureReplayStaticTensors cases to fail because their object() metadata mocks have no __dict__. The same ten failures were reproduced on the pre-fix code. The full related suite passes with the default environment; the compact graph-replay test explicitly enables strict checks internally.

@lori-ren, could you or another maintainer please add api-compatible? The new compact_beam_widths option defaults to [] (disabled), so the API addition is backward-compatible. The label check is still failing because neither API compatibility label is present, and my account cannot apply repository labels.

Test compact decode for Llama and Qwen2.

The current tests verify supports_compact_beam and exercise fake_forward, but they do not execute either model's real decode forward with compact metadata. Add practical Llama and Qwen2 decode scenarios that compare compact execution with capacity execution. This must cover model-specific attention inputs and logits shapes, which capability and fake-forward tests cannot detect.

Add opt-in compact execution for supported variable-width beam search
while preserving capacity-stride KV allocation and sampler layouts.
Use per-width CUDA graph metadata and restore inactive logits safely.

Prepare views from the actual execution batch, preserve both workspace
scopes, and cover input, graph, capability and cleanup boundaries.
Refresh generated serving schemas and configuration coverage.

433-435: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover nonzero ordinary and speculative graph-key widths.

get_graph_key uses BeamCompaction.execution_width only for ordinary, non-LoRA, non-speculative batches. Add cases that set the width to 2, assert beam_execution_width == 2 for ordinary generation, and assert 0 when request.py_draft_tokens is nonempty. The existing LoRA graph-key test already covers the use_lora_graph=True zero-width branch.

Hi @allisonlim-nv and @nv-xtf, could you please review the core implementation of this PR when you have a chance, particularly compact beam input/metadata handling, decoder integration, and CUDA graph capture/replay? Thank you!

…tion

Keep both compact widths and engine-owned static input buffers. Cover
capture/replay with both input ownership modes and regenerate serving schemas.

Validation: 115 targeted GPU tests, 89 schema tests, and public Qwen3
correctness/performance checks using the documented rc0 compatibility harness.
