Each collector's initialize()/init() took two unrelated kinds of argument: the device resources to allocate, and the current run's configuration. The two have different lifetimes — the resources belong to the device, the configuration to a run — and conflating them is what forces the collectors to be torn down and rebuilt for every run (hw-native-sys#2078). Initialization now takes only the device resources. The per-run half moves to a set_run_output() on the three collectors that have one: swimlane output_prefix, chip_swimlane_level args_dump output_prefix, dump_args_level pmu csv_path, event_type Callers bind it before initialize(), which is where the runners already sat: apply_call_config() runs inside simpler_prepare_run, ahead of prepare_execution. dep_gen and scope_stats have no per-run arguments and only lose their sizing parameter. Sizing switches to PLATFORM_MAX_CORES / PLATFORM_MAX_AICPU_THREADS. A collector that outlives a run cannot be sized to that run: num_aicore derives from the callable's worker count and aicpu_thread_num comes off CallConfig, so both differ between runs of one worker. The header's queue array is already that wide, an unused queue costs one empty pop per sweep, and a shard that receives nothing is an existing valid run shape. Pool offsets are computed from header->num_cores, which now holds the same maximum the allocation used, so reader and allocation agree. Behavior is unchanged: initialize() still runs once per run, so the level still reaches the device header from the member the setter wrote. Publishing those fields per run without re-initializing is what the residency change needs, and is not part of this commit. Also drops parameters that existed only to carry the sizing — the Runtime& that init_args_dump used solely for get_aicpu_thread_num(), and DepGenCollector's write-only num_threads_ field.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change separates persistent collector initialization from per-run configuration. Collectors now allocate using platform-wide limits, while ChangesCollector lifecycle refactor
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The refactor separates per-run diagnostic settings from device-owned collector resources and preserves normal run ordering. A bounded risk remains if an unusual finalization-thread failure leaves collector resources active for a later run, which could misattribute diagnostic output; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Require set_run_output() before initialize().
Line 240 says callers can set this configuration before the run. initialize() copies dump_args_level_ into DumpDataHeader, so a call after initialization changes only host-side state. The device can then use the default or previous dump level while export metadata uses the new level.
Update this contract to require set_run_output() before initialize(), or propagate post-initialization changes to device memory.

Summary
Each DFX collector's
initialize()/init()took two unrelated kinds ofargument: the device resources to allocate, and the current run's
configuration. Those have different lifetimes — resources belong to the
device, configuration to a run — and conflating them is precisely what forces
the collectors to be torn down and rebuilt every run (#2078).
Initialization now takes only the device resources. The per-run half moves to a
set_run_output()on the three collectors that have one:set_run_output()output_prefix,chip_swimlane_leveloutput_prefix,dump_args_levelcsv_path,event_typedep_genandscope_statshave no per-run arguments and only lose their sizingparameter.
Callers bind it before
initialize(), which is where the runners already sat:apply_call_config()runs insidesimpler_prepare_run, ahead ofprepare_execution.Sizing moves to the platform maxima
A collector that outlives a run cannot be sized to that run:
num_aicorederives from the callable's worker count and
aicpu_thread_numcomes offCallConfig, so both differ between runs of one worker. Three things make themaximum safe rather than merely bigger:
PLATFORM_MAX_AICPU_THREADSwide andmemset at init, so an unused queue costs one empty pop per sweep;
SilentRunDoesNotTripIdleTimeoutexists for it;header->num_cores, which now holds the samemaximum the allocation used, so reader and allocation agree.
Behaviour is unchanged
initialize()still runs once per run, so the level still reaches the deviceheader from the member the setter wrote. Publishing those fields per run
without re-initializing is what the residency change needs, and is deliberately
not in this PR.
Also drops parameters that existed only to carry the sizing: the
