📝 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.

- Around line 240-246: Update the set_run_output contract and documentation to
require callers invoke it before initialize(), since initialize() copies
dump_args_level_ into DumpDataHeader and later changes are not propagated to
device memory. Keep the existing setter behavior unchanged.

Each collector's initialize()/init() took two unrelated kinds of argument: the device resources to allocate, and the current run's artifact configuration. The two have different lifetimes — the resources belong to the device, the configuration to a run — and conflating them is part of what forces the collectors to be torn down and rebuilt for every run (hw-native-sys#2078). The configuration now has its own binder, 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 are untouched. The sizing arguments deliberately stay. num_aicore is not a capacity number, it is the addressing basis for the shared-memory layout: every pool array after the first starts at an offset derived from it (get_aicore_buffer_states, get_sched_phase_buffer_states), and the AICPU side computes those same offsets from its own worker count. Widening only the host's basis desynchronizes the two views of one region — the two sides then read and write different addresses in it, losing swimlane records with no error anywhere. Making the layout independent of a run requires changing both sides together and belongs with the residency work, not here. Behavior is unchanged: initialize() still runs once per run, so the level still reaches the device header from the member the setter wrote.
Summary
Each DFX collector's
initialize()/init()took two unrelated kinds ofargument: the device resources to allocate, and the current run's artifact
configuration. Those have different lifetimes — resources belong to the device,
configuration to a run — and conflating them is part of what forces the
collectors to be torn down and rebuilt every run (#2078).
The configuration now has its own binder,
set_run_output(), on the threecollectors that have one:
set_run_output()output_prefix,chip_swimlane_leveloutput_prefix,dump_args_levelcsv_path,event_typeCallers bind it before
initialize(), which is where the runners already sat:apply_call_config()runs insidesimpler_prepare_run, ahead ofprepare_execution.dep_genandscope_statshave no per-run arguments andare untouched.
initialize()still runs once per run, so the level still reaches the deviceheader from the member the setter wrote. No behaviour changes.
The sizing arguments deliberately stay
An earlier revision of this PR also moved
num_aicore/aicpu_thread_numtothe platform maxima, on the reasoning that a collector outliving a run cannot be
sized to that run. CI caught that, and the reason is worth recording:
num_aicoreis not a capacity number — it is the addressing basis for theshared-memory layout. Only the first pool array starts at a fixed offset;
every one after it is derived from
num_aicore:The AICPU side computes those same offsets from its own worker count
(
chip_swimlane_collector_aicpu.cpp:333,:822). Widening only the host's basisdesynchronizes two views of one region: each side then reads and writes different
addresses in it. The symptom is silent — no error anywhere, just
A negative
silent_lossis the giveaway: records cannot be lost below zero,so the two sides must be addressing different memory.
Making the layout independent of a run requires changing both sides in one
commit, and belongs with the residency work rather than here.
