"""
Deep analysis of why speculative decoding failed on single GPU
and what conditions would make it work.
Key findings from Phase 1:
- cost_ratio = 1.15 (draft only 15% faster than target)
- speedup < 1.0 for all 32 configurations
- Analytical model correctly predicted failure
This script:
1. Explains WHY cost_ratio is 1.15 (memory bandwidth bottleneck)
2. Shows what cost_ratio is NEEDED for speedup > 1
3. Simulates what results would look like with real cost ratios
4. Finds the minimum alpha needed per cost_ratio and gamma
5. Generates the definitive regime map

In autoregressive decode, the bottleneck is NOT compute.
It is loading model weights from VRAM into GPU registers
for each token — even if the token takes 0 FLOPs to compute.
Memory-bandwidth-bound regime:
time_per_token ≈ model_size_bytes / gpu_bandwidth
RTX 2070 memory bandwidth: ~448 GB/s
Qwen2-0.5B:
Parameters: 494M
Size (fp16): 494M × 2 bytes = 988 MB = 0.99 GB
Time/token ≈ 0.99 GB / 448 GB/s = 2.2 ms/token
Measured: ~23 ms/token (10x overhead: KV cache + attention + overhead)
Qwen2-1.5B:
Parameters: 1544M
Size (fp16): 1544M × 2 bytes = 3088 MB = 3.09 GB
Time/token ≈ 3.09 GB / 448 GB/s = 6.9 ms/token
Measured: ~26 ms/token (lower overhead ratio for larger model)
Expected cost_ratio from roofline:
3.09 GB / 0.99 GB = 3.1x (what we expected)
Actual cost_ratio measured:
1.15x (draft is only 15% faster)
Why the gap?
- At small batch size (bs=1), both models are bandwidth-limited
- Overhead (KV attention, layer norm, etc) is similar for both
- The RTX 2070 has enough bandwidth that the smaller model
does not get proportionally more benefit
- Both models fit in L2 partially — cache effects equalize times
Conclusion:
On a single GPU with bs=1, the cost_ratio approaches 1.0
regardless of model size ratio.
Speculative decoding requires cost_ratio >= 2-3 to be beneficial.
This requires EITHER:
a) Much larger target (e.g., 7B target vs 0.5B draft)
b) Higher batch size making target more compute-bound
c) CPU draft model (free compute, different memory bus)

The analytical model predicted speedup values that were HIGHER
than measured (model predicts ~0.5-0.9, measured ~0.35-0.74).
Three sources of divergence:
1. KV CACHE SYNCHRONIZATION OVERHEAD (largest factor)
After each speculative step, we must re-sync draft KV cache
to the accepted prefix. This adds 1-2 forward passes per step
that the analytical model does not account for.
Measured overhead: ~{df['spec_time_s'].mean() / df['ar_time_s'].mean():.2f}x baseline time
Expected from model: ~{df['predicted_speedup'].mean():.2f}x speedup
2. PYTHON LOOP OVERHEAD
Each speculative step involves:
- gamma draft forwards
- 1 target forward
- token comparison loop
- KV cache management
The analytical model assumes zero coordination overhead.
3. SUBOPTIMAL KV CACHE REUSE
When draft tokens are rejected, the target KV cache must be
partially rewound. Our implementation does this via additional
forward passes, not true cache slicing.
Corrected model (adding overhead factor f):
E[speedup_real] = E[speedup_analytical] / f
where f ≈ {df['spec_time_s'].mean() / (df['ar_time_s'].mean() * df['predicted_speedup'].mean()):.2f}
This means the real cost_ratio needed is:
c_needed = c_theoretical × f ≈ {1.15 * df['spec_time_s'].mean() / (df['ar_time_s'].mean() * df['predicted_speedup'].mean()):.2f}x

Finding 1 — The analytical model is DIRECTIONALLY correct (R={corr:.3f})
The model correctly predicted that ALL configurations would have
speedup < 1.0 with cost_ratio=1.15. No false positives.
This is the most important validation: the model did not incorrectly
recommend speculative decoding when it would not work.
Finding 2 — cost_ratio is the critical variable, not alpha
alpha values ranged from 0.35 to 0.75 (reasonable draft quality).
Even at alpha=0.75, speedup < 1.0 with cost_ratio=1.15.
The acceptance rate simply does not matter if the draft is not
significantly cheaper than the target.
Finding 3 — Memory bandwidth equalization on single GPU
Qwen2-0.5B (0.5B params) and Qwen2-1.5B (1.5B params) decode
at nearly the same speed on RTX 2070 because both are fully
memory-bandwidth-bound at batch_size=1.
cost_ratio = 1.15 instead of the expected 3.1x from parameter counts.
Finding 4 — Implementation overhead is real and quantifiable
The KV cache synchronization penalty adds ~{1.0/corr:.1f}x overhead
over the theoretical prediction.
Production systems (Hugging Face, vLLM) handle this in C++ with
direct tensor slicing — avoiding the Python re-forwarding penalty.
Finding 5 — Speculative decoding IS viable in the right regime
At cost_ratio=4 (e.g., 7B target + 0.5B draft on A100):
alpha=0.7 → speedup ≈ {analytical_speedup(0.7, 4, 4.0):.2f}x
alpha=0.8 → speedup ≈ {analytical_speedup(0.8, 4, 4.0):.2f}x
At cost_ratio=8 (e.g., 70B target + 7B draft on H100):
alpha=0.7 → speedup ≈ {analytical_speedup(0.7, 4, 8.0):.2f}x
alpha=0.8 → speedup ≈ {analytical_speedup(0.8, 4, 8.0):.2f}x
