Summary

  • During host orchestration, each Graph layer POD is written into a retained 16MB pinned host arena (aclrtMallocHost) and copy_to_device'd as soon as that layer is ready.
  • Device POD buffers stay on the existing per-(graph_key, occurrence) retain path. Bind no longer gathers unpinned std::vector images after orch.
  • Adds bind-stage STRACE (prebuilt / host_orch / h2d_graph / relocate / h2d_sm / h2d_arena). strace_timing --rounds-table treats nested per-layer h2d_graph as H2dGraph (HostOrch exclusive of those copies). Gate = HostOrch + H2dImage.

Depends on #1854 (this branch is a86dadae + this commit).

Keep DeviceRunner retained_temp empty so HBG depth-two ST stays green.
Avoid per-round device_malloc/device_free and skip H2D when the host

Write each Graph layer into a retained pinned host arena and copy_to_device
as soon as the POD is ready, so bind skips a later gather of unpinned images.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now retains tensor staging and graph-upload storage across runs, supports pinned graph images and eager H2D uploads, traces bind phases, and reports aggregated HBG timing shares. Tests cover nested and split H2D span accounting.

Changes

HBG staging, graph upload, and timing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Graph upload storage and state contracts
src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/runtime.h, src/common/host_build_graph/graph_host_state.h, src/common/platform/include/common/host_api.h, src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/orchestrator_core/pto_orchestrator.cpp
Graph uploads now support pinned-arena storage, vector fallback storage, eager callbacks, completion tracking, and reusable submission-image construction. Tensor pairs record whether cleanup must free or retain storage.
Retained runtime staging and orchestration
src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/host/runtime_maker.cpp
Host orchestration retains tensor staging, shared-memory mirrors, graph submissions, and pinned graph storage. It traces argument, relocation, orchestration, and H2D phases. Cleanup skips retained buffers and supports optional copy-back suppression.
Bind timing aggregation and validation
simpler_setup/tools/strace_timing.py, tests/ut/py/test_strace_timing.py
The timing tool reports HBG bind-stage durations, shares, gate timing, and warmup comparisons. Tests verify nested and split H2D spans without double-counting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 95891

The PR changes graph orchestration to retain pinned host data and upload layers eagerly, but the current implementation can mix state between concurrent runs, reuse stale device bytes, and leave partially committed submissions or freed buffers referenced after failures or finalization. These paths can corrupt results or crash execution, so the PR should not merge until the ownership, freshness, and cleanup issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

I’m a rabbit with buffers tucked tight,
Reusing each slice through the night.
Graphs hop to pinned space,
H2D keeps its place,
And timing logs sparkle just right.

512-541: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Percentages mix means that use different denominators.

_bind_stage_means excludes zero rounds per stage, so each mean can average a different number of rounds. _print_bind_share_block then divides by the sum of those means. The printed percentages therefore do not describe any single round, and the Gate value at Line 537 can mix a warm HostOrch mean with a cold H2dImage mean.

Report the round count behind each mean, or compute the means over the same set of rounds, so the share table is comparable.

Clamp the exclusive HostOrch total and drop the duplicated branch.

Two small cleanups in _sum_span_dur_us:

  • The subtraction at Line 367 can go negative if a h2d_graph span reports a duration that overruns its host_orch parent, for example after a clock adjustment. A negative HostOrch then corrupts the Gate number at Line 537. Clamp the result at 0.
  • The simpler_run.bind.orch_h2d_pipe branch at Lines 378-379 computes the same value as the final else branch. Remove it.

Add a case for the HostOrch fallback branch.

_sum_span_dur_us falls back to summing simpler_run.bind.host_orch.setup and simpler_run.bind.host_orch.entry when no simpler_run.bind.host_orch span exists. No test covers that path, and no test covers an exact simpler_run.bind.h2d_image span folded with the split children. Add one case for each so a change to the branch order is caught.

- Around line 385-392: Update the _round_metrics docstring to describe the
revised HBG bind accounting: HostOrch excludes nested h2d_graph work, while
H2dGraph includes only top-level spans; retain the existing explanations for the
other metrics.
- Around line 293-296: Update the comment describing the “Effective” table
column to replace the Unicode union character with the plain-text wording
“orch/sched merged window,” preserving the existing meaning and making it pass
RUF003.

In `@src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/host/runtime_maker.cpp`:
- Around line 411-417: Fix staging metadata ownership in begin and
forget_staging_meta so stale entries cannot be reused by later allocations:
erase metadata while pool_mu() remains held, or key it by the logical slot
rather than the raw buffer address. Replace slot_key(api)’s lossy
pointer-shift/8-bit slot encoding with a collision-safe key such as
std::pair<const void *, uint32_t> and update staging_meta(),
staging_populated_for(), and related lookups consistently.
- Around line 733-744: Scope per-run orchestration state to the runner and
pipeline slot to prevent concurrent binds from interfering. In runtime_maker.cpp
lines 733-744, key retained_host_sm by runner and slot and keep
ownership/locking through mirror write and copy; in lines 569-593, make
g_graph_pack runner-scoped or serialize run_host_orchestration so reset and
release cannot overlap; in lines 811-823, attach the eager-upload callback and
context to the GraphHostState used by GraphHostStateBinding instead of the
global slot state.
- Around line 609-632: Update retained-buffer keying in
src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/host/runtime_maker.cpp:609-632 and staging
metadata handling in
src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/host/runtime_maker.cpp:411-433. In
acquire_submission, preserve all graph_key bits and include api->runner_ctx()
and occurrence so caches are isolated by runner and buffer; in the staging_meta
path, use slot_key(api), remove pointer bit-packing in slot_key, and erase
entries while holding pool_mu().
- Around line 380-409: Update retained tensor staging reuse around build_layout,
staging_populated_for, and mark_staging_populated to include the
producer-supplied content generation, not just host addresses and sizes. Permit
H2D reuse only for host IN and INOUT tensors with a nonzero generation; treat
unknown or zero generations as stale and keep transfers enabled. Forward PyTorch
dirty versions as the content generation across the A2/A3 and A5 host
build-graph runtimes.
- Around line 1328-1332: Change the tensor copy-back skip branch in
validate_runtime_impl to log the existing SIMPLER_SKIP_TENSOR_COPY_BACK notice
with LOG_WARN instead of LOG_INFO, and ensure this environment-controlled skip
remains confined to the benchmark harness rather than the default release path;
do not add new configuration knobs or speculative overrides.
- Around line 811-823: Scope the eager-upload callback and context to each
GraphHostState instead of using the unsynchronized global slots
g_eager_upload_fn and g_eager_upload_ctx. Update graph_host_set_eager_upload and
the GraphPodH2d callback path to access the per-state values, preserving setup
before entry_points->entry and cleanup afterward so concurrent runs cannot
overwrite or clear each other’s state.
- Around line 569-593: Update ensure_graph_pinned_pack and the surrounding graph
host orchestration to prevent concurrent pipeline slots from sharing mutable
process-global pinned-arena state: either maintain a separate GraphPinnedPack
and bump offset per pipeline slot, or serialize the complete host-orchestration
lifecycle, including graph_host_set_pinned_arena, allocations, and
PinnedArenaClear. Ensure one slot cannot reset or clear arena storage while
another slot is using it.
- Around line 686-691: Update DeviceRunnerBase::finalize_common() to clear
GraphPodH2d::retained_subs() and the corresponding retained cache after freeing
mem_alloc_ entries, preventing later runs from reusing freed device_submission
pointers.

In
`@src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/orchestrator_core/pto_orchestrator.cpp`:
- Around line 341-373: Move the pinned-arena state used by
graph_host_pinned_bump, graph_host_set_pinned_arena,
graph_host_clear_pinned_arena, graph_host_pinned_base, and
graph_host_pinned_used, along with the eager-upload callback/context state, out
of process globals and into GraphHostState or an equivalent object owned by each
runner_ctx()/pipeline_slot(). Update the bind and H2D paths around GraphPodH2d
and the write path near the reported usage to access that per-run state,
preserving independent concurrent pipeline slots without introducing a global
serialization lock.
- Around line 1613-1618: Update the eager-upload failure handling in
graph_submit_definition around g_eager_upload_fn so a false result after
pending_uploads.push_back commits the upload, latches an orchestrator error, and
prevents graph_begin from taking the ordinary fallback path. Only permit
fallback after fully rolling back the associated GRAPH slot, scope, TensorMap
outputs, allocator state, and pending-upload entry.

Update the docstring to match the new accounting.

The docstring states that the HBG bind columns sum same-name spans. That is no longer true: HostOrch excludes nested h2d_graph work, and H2dGraph counts only top-level spans. Describe both rules so a reader can interpret the Gate column.

Layout fingerprint does not prove the device copy is still current.

build_layout records only host address and byte size. staging_populated_for then reports "populated" whenever the same host buffers appear at the same sizes. A producer that writes new data into the same buffers (the common PyTorch case) keeps an identical layout. bind_callable_to_runtime_impl then sets skip_h2d at Line 1054 and skips copy_to_device at Line 1088, so the device keeps the previous round's bytes.

Gate the reuse on a content generation supplied by the producer, and keep H2D enabled when the generation is unknown or zero.

Based on learnings, for retained tensor staging in the A2/A3 and A5 host build-graph runtime, allow H2D reuse for host input (IN) and input/output (INOUT) tensors only when the producer supplies a nonzero content generation; PyTorch producers should forward their dirty version as the content generation, and when the generation is unknown, keep H2D transfers enabled.

Staging metadata keyed by raw device address can be claimed by a later allocation.

begin frees the old slot buffer under pool_mu() but calls forget_staging_meta after the lock is released. Between those two points another pipeline slot can allocate the same device address and read the stale entry through staging_populated_for. If the two layouts match, that slot skips H2D onto a buffer that never received its data.

Key the metadata by slot_key(api) instead of the buffer address, or erase the metadata while pool_mu() is still held.

slot_key also shifts a pointer left by 8 bits. That drops the top 8 bits of runner_ctx() and assumes pipeline_slot() < 256. Use a std::pair<const void *, uint32_t> key or a hash combine so distinct runners cannot collide.

Make the pinned Graph arena per pipeline slot, or serialize host orchestration.

graph_host_set_pinned_arena resets the process-global bump offset, and PinnedArenaClear clears it while another slot can still use it. The allocation mutex does not protect arena access during orchestration. This can overlap Graph POD images and corrupt submissions.

Per-run orchestration state is held in process-global storage. Three new pieces of per-run state live in process-wide statics with no runner or pipeline-slot scoping, so two concurrent binds overwrite each other and one run's teardown revokes state that another run still uses.

Scope the eager-upload callback to each GraphHostState

g_eager_upload_fn and g_eager_upload_ctx are unsynchronized global slots. Concurrent runs can replace each other’s GraphPodH2d context, or one run can clear the callback while another still submits graph definitions. Store the callback and context in GraphHostState, or serialize the orchestration interval.

SIMPLER_SKIP_TENSOR_COPY_BACK silently returns stale outputs.

When the variable is set, validate_runtime_impl skips every D2H copy and still returns 0. A caller receives the previous host contents and cannot tell that results were dropped. The message is logged at LOG_INFO, so it is easy to miss.

Raise the message to LOG_WARN so the skip is visible, and confine the switch to the benchmark harness rather than the default release path.

Based on learnings, do not introduce new configuration knobs or environment-variable overrides speculatively; any new configurable surface must be backed by a concrete, measured workload, and hardcoded constants validated on a measurable reproducer are preferred.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make pinned-arena and eager-upload state run-scoped.

Lines 341-373 and Lines 720-723 store active bind state in process globals. A concurrent bind can replace another run's pinned arena or GraphPodH2d callback context. Line 1555 can then write to the wrong arena, and eager H2D can use the wrong runtime context.

Store this state in GraphHostState or another object scoped to one runner_ctx() and pipeline_slot(). Do not serialize independent pipeline slots with a global lock.

Also applies to: 720-723, 1555-1559

Do not fall back after a committed eager-upload failure.

Line 1614 commits the pending upload after the GRAPH slot, scope entry, and TensorMap outputs are already registered. If Line 1617 returns false, graph_submit_definition returns failure without rollback or a fatal latch. graph_begin can then take the ordinary path while the partial GRAPH task remains committed.

If eager upload fails after this point, latch an orchestrator error and stop the run. If ordinary fallback is required, roll back every committed allocator, scope, TensorMap, and pending-upload mutation first.
