From b5f029b9eb986581807b9318e1f7594de979a215 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mad-lab-kbando <69054773+kmbandy@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 10:17:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/20] =?UTF-8?q?mt::=20paged-attn=20=E2=80=94=20paged-blo?= =?UTF-8?q?ck=20semantic=20prefetch=20infra=20(MAD-122,=20partial)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Wrapper-side scaffolding for semantic prefetch on paged blocks. Server- side wiring lands in a follow-up commit; this one adds the storage, scoring, and prefetch entry point with no behavior change until the server actually feeds in fingerprints. ## What lands - BlockSemanticIndex (mt-semantic.{h,cpp}) — keys L2-normalized embeddings by (seq_id, lblock). Per-seq scoping, cosine top-K with threshold, no FIFO cap (lifecycle is tied to BlockTable, so memory grows with the active context size). Worst-case footprint at the army goal (4 seqs × 8k blocks × 384-dim fp32) is ~48 MiB — acceptable next to the warm-tier staging cost. - llama_memory_tiered::record_paged_block_fingerprint — server entry point, called once per block at backup time. Caller (server-context) is responsible for embedding the block's tokens via embed_text. - llama_memory_tiered::restore_semantic_paged — query-time prefetch. Scores this seq's paged-block fingerprints against the new query embedding, expands lblock hits to position ranges, calls paged_restore_from_warm. Logs hit-rate (positions restored vs requested) for the smoke gating in MAD-122 acceptance #5. - Lifecycle hooks: clear() drops everything; the paged whole-seq wipe in seq_rm drops only this seq's entries. Per-seq scoping is real here (unlike the chunk-keyed semantic_, which clears globally because its fingerprints aren't seq-keyed). ## Scope decision (vs the ticket) The ticket also called for a Hybrid eviction policy weighting that combines semantic score with LRU. Honest assessment landed elsewhere: bge-small was trained for retrieval similarity, not forward-looking causal-attention prediction; the synchronous CPU cost at decode-step granularity is too high for the eviction hot path; and the actual MAD-120 capacity-pressure problem is structural (causal attention demands all of an active seq's blocks be hot-resident, regardless of semantic score). Eviction stays LRU-primary; semantic earns its keep on async prefetch where the question matches the model's training and there's time to score. The HybridWeights struct is left untouched in this commit. ## No regression - paged_blocks=false → BlockSemanticIndex stays empty; the new restore_semantic_paged early-bails with a debug log. - Existing record_chunk_fingerprint / restore_semantic / find_similar_chunks API unchanged. - llama + llama-server build clean.

Behavior unchanged when --kv-tier-paged-blocks is off. ## What lands mt_record_fingerprints_for_range helper — when paged is on, walks the [p0, p1) range in block_size strides (rounded down to a block-aligned floor), embeds each block's tokens, and records one fingerprint per logical block via record_paged_block_fingerprint. When paged is off, keeps the legacy chunk-level path (one embedding for the whole range via record_chunk_fingerprint). Three call sites switch to the helper: - proactive backup (server-context.cpp:~1560) - context-shift backup (~2425) - query-time prefetch (~2748) — dispatches restore_semantic_paged vs restore_semantic based on the same flag ## Why per-block The chunk-level path emits one fingerprint covering the whole evicted range and stores it under SemanticIndex (position-list keyed). At query time we'd score the new query against each chunk's single embedding, which loses block-level resolution — a query relevant to block 47 of a 32-block chunk wouldn't be distinguishable from a query relevant to block 12. The 16-token block size is small enough that one BGE embedding per block is reasonable both in storage (~1.5 KiB per block × 8k blocks/seq = 12 MiB/seq at fp32) and in CPU cost (~ms per embed; happens off the decode path). ## No regression - params.kv_tier_paged_blocks=false → helper takes the legacy chunk branch; identical behavior to the pre-MAD-122 wiring. - params.kv_semantic_index empty → all three call sites skip as before. - llama-server builds clean.

MAD-129 relocates the write trigger to prefill submission time so fingerprints actually get written. The READ trigger (server-context.cpp:~2748) IS correctly placed and will work once writes land. ## No regression - Without --kv-tier-paged-blocks: legacy chunk-level path on the wrapper unchanged. - Without --kv-tier-semantic-index: all semantic paths dormant. - llama + llama-server build clean.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replaces the GGML_UNUSED(p1) tail-truncate-only behavior in llama_kv_cache_paged::seq_rm with a unified block-aligned partial wipe that handles tail truncate AND middle wipe correctly. ## What changed For partial wipes (whole-seq path unchanged): - Walk all blocks of the seq; for each block intersecting [p0, p1): - Wholly covered: free physical, mark table entry as kInvalidBlockId, drop fingerprint via paged_semantic_.remove_block. - Partially overlapped (sub-block range): leave the block; log a clear WARN that unwiped slots will keep stale K/V. - pos_max only updates if the wipe touches the tail (p1 > cur_max). - For middle wipes (p1 <= cur_max), pos_max stays put — holes in the block table represent the wiped middle. ## Why holes are safe The mt_paged_attention_kernel already handles `kInvalidBlockTableEntry` correctly (mt_pagedattn.cu:814, 826, 860): invalid physical → -INFINITY contribution to the QK logit → 0 weight after softmax → no contribution to the attention output. Freed blocks read as "no attention," not garbage. So block-aligned middle wipes are correct without any kernel change. ## What's still not supported Sub-block partial wipes (where p0 or p1 lands inside a block, not on a boundary). The unwiped slots within a kept block hold stale K/V that the kernel WILL read. Solutions require either per-block valid-bitmask + kernel mask change, or a layout-aware per-slot zero primitive — both deferred until a real consumer needs sub-block precision. The clear WARN log is the v1 contract. ## Verification - llama + llama-server build clean - Smoke (Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered + turbo4): simple generation ("capital of France" → "Paris"). Server emits only tail-truncate seq_rm calls (`[X, end)`) which the new code handles uniformly with no warnings. No regression on existing flows. ## Out of scope (continued in subsequent commits on this story) - seq_add ctx-shift fallback (Option A — server-level wipe+reprefill) - seq_cp CoW via BlockPool refcounting Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp | 97 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 70 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp index 91cfed2f49c5..4cfd26cbbb88 100644 --- a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp +++ b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp @@ -1141,6 +1141,7 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::seq_rm(llama_seq_id seq_id, llama_pos p0, llama_pos p // produced position drift between the cache and the slot manager. if (p0 < 0) p0 = 0; if (p1 < 0) p1 = std::numeric_limits::max(); + if (p1 <= p0) return true; // empty range const llama_pos cur_max = seq_states_[seq_id].pos_max; @@ -1161,36 +1162,78 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::seq_rm(llama_seq_id seq_id, llama_pos p0, llama_pos p return true; } - // Partial wipe: tail truncation only for v1 (carving out middle - // ranges requires more bookkeeping; rare in practice). - if (p0 > cur_max) return true; // nothing to do - // Middle wipes (p1 < cur_max+1 with p0 > 0) aren't supported in v1. - // The server uses these for partial speculative-decode rollback; - // until we add support, treat as tail truncation from p0 (drops - // some valid positions but doesn't crash). - GGML_UNUSED(p1); - - // Compute new pos_max after truncation. - const llama_pos new_max = p0 - 1; - - // Drop blocks whose entire range is past p0. - const uint32_t keep_blocks = (uint32_t)(new_max + 1 + (llama_pos) block_size_ - 1) / block_size_; - if (keep_blocks > table_.num_blocks(seq_id)) return true; // nothing to drop - - // Walk blocks past keep_blocks and free. - while (table_.num_blocks(seq_id) > keep_blocks) { - std::vector tmp = table_.clear_seq(seq_id); // CAUTION: clears all - // Re-append the kept ones. - for (uint32_t i = 0; i < keep_blocks && i < tmp.size(); ++i) { - table_.append_block(seq_id, tmp[i]); - } - for (uint32_t i = keep_blocks; i < tmp.size(); ++i) { - if (tmp[i] != mt::kInvalidBlockId) pool_.free_block(tmp[i]); + if (p0 > cur_max) return true; // nothing in range + + // MAD-128: block-aligned partial wipe.

What was missing: clear messages explaining WHY shift is off and what the operator/client should do when a slot hits the n_ctx limit on paged. ## What lands Two server-side log improvements: 1. At init, when ctx_shift gets auto-disabled because the active memory doesn't support shift: when --kv-tier-paged-blocks is set, log a paged-specific message that clarifies (a) why paged deliberately doesn't support in-place shift (block-table reindex + GPU layout reindex), (b) the recovery path (slot stops, client re-submits, the prompt cache + semantic prefetch recover the prefix on next prefill). 2. At runtime, when a slot hits the n_ctx limit because shift is disabled: emit an INF (not DBG) log specifically when paged is on, so operators see in default logs that the slot stopped due to the paged-architecture choice and the client should resubmit. This is Option A from the MAD-128 ticket: server-level fallback. Real in-place position shift on paged (Option B) would require re-indexing every block_table entry plus per-block reindex of the GPU K/V layout — deferred until a real workload demands it. ## No regression - Non-paged config: original messages + DBG-level limit log unchanged - Paged config: only adds clarifying log lines, no behavior change Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- tools/server/server-context.cpp | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/server/server-context.cpp b/tools/server/server-context.cpp index 83f03e7b2dd9..c47c6e239388 100644 --- a/tools/server/server-context.cpp +++ b/tools/server/server-context.cpp @@ -965,7 +965,25 @@ struct server_context_impl { if (!llama_memory_can_shift(llama_get_memory(ctx))) { if (params_base.ctx_shift) { params_base.ctx_shift = false; - SRV_WRN("%s\n", "ctx_shift is not supported by this context, it will be disabled"); + if (params_base.kv_tier_paged_blocks) { + // MAD-128: paged-blocks deliberately doesn't support + // position-shift in-place (would require re-indexing + // every block_table entry + per-block reindex of the + // GPU K/V layout).

When either seq later writes to a shared block, the cache transparently allocates a fresh block, copies the data, and swaps the writer's table entry — preserving the invariant that every writable cell is uniquely owned. ## What lands ### BlockPool refcounting (mt-block-pool.{h,cpp}) - New `refcount_` vector parallel to free stacks, sized to total_gpu + total_cpu blocks. All start at 0 (free). - `alloc_gpu()` / `alloc_cpu()`: set refcount[id] = 1 on allocation. - `bump_ref(bid)`: increment refcount. Asserts not-free. - `refcount(bid)`: const getter. 0=free, 1=single-owner, >1=shared. - `free_block(bid)`: decrement refcount; only push to free stack when refcount drops to 0. Logs warning on double-free (refcount==0). - `reset()`: zeros refcount along with rebuilding free stacks. ### Real seq_cp (llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp) Replaces the no-op warning with a block-aligned share: - For each wholly-covered block in [p0, p1): bump src's physical refcount, install in dst's table (with kInvalidBlockId padding for any logical gaps before the block). - Sub-block partials are NOT shared (matching seq_rm's sub-block behavior); logged as a warning so caller can round their range. - Wipes dst's existing range first (recursive seq_rm) so its old blocks get properly refcount-released. - Updates dst's pos_max if the copy extends its tail. ### CoW write trigger (cow_writes_for_ubatch) New private method called from apply_ubatch_to_state, between fault_in_warm_blocks_for_batch and prepare_batch_tensors: - Collects unique (seq, lblock) pairs touched by writes this ubatch. - For each: if the physical's refcount > 1, allocate a fresh GPU block, copy K/V from the shared block (via host bounce buffer — ggml has no native D2D primitive but the block is small, ~17 KiB at turbo4), swap the writer's table entry, decrement old refcount. - On GPU pool exhaustion during CoW: try evict_lru_to_warm and retry alloc; if still failing, refuse the batch with clear error log rather than corrupting the shared block. ### Eviction victim selection — skip shared blocks Updated `evict_lru_to_warm` and the inner `evict_lru_protected` lambda in `fault_in_warm_blocks_for_batch` to skip blocks with refcount > 1. Reasoning: evicting a shared block doesn't free GPU space (other sequence still holds the physical via refcount), so the eviction- retry caller would loop forever or burn CPU pool with no GPU benefit. Shared blocks stay GPU-resident until either (a) the other seq frees its reference, or (b) the other seq's own write triggers CoW. ## What's NOT included - Sub-block partial CoW (block-aligned only, mirroring seq_rm's contract). Sub-block precision requires per-slot validity tracking + kernel mask change — not yet justified by any consumer. - Eviction of shared blocks themselves. With refcount-aware victim selection, shared blocks are pinned to GPU until refcount drops. In a degenerate workload where every block is shared, the pool appears full to the eviction logic. Acceptable for v1; revisit if branching workloads cause real pressure. - Specific seq_cp tests with actual server invocation (server has no HTTP API for seq_cp). Real CoW exercise belongs to MAD-137 testing with synthetic K/V via ggml CPU backend. ## Verification - llama + llama-server build clean - Smoke (Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered + turbo4 + --parallel 2): two simple completions ("2+2" → "4", "Capital of Japan" → "Tokyo") succeed. No refcount-error / double-free / cow-related log lines during normal flow. Refcount machinery silently maintains refcount=1 for all single-owner blocks (the common case).

End-to-end semantic prefetch is live for the army-goal config. ## Resolved design (Epic A2) The original chunk-level write trigger sits inside the proactive-backup gate, which doesn't fire for hybrid+paged because: - The cap arithmetic uses full ctx (mt_tier->physical_attn_cells() returns 0 for hybrid+paged), so the eviction threshold never crosses on typical workloads. - Even if it did, paged eviction is internal to llama_kv_cache_paged (admission control + ensure_blocks_for); the server doesn't see eviction events, so a server-side "fingerprint at eviction time" write trigger is structurally wrong. Decision (Epic A2): write fingerprints AT PREFILL SUBMISSION, not at eviction time. Skip-already-fingerprinted check keeps multi-turn cost bounded — only NEW blocks (the accumulated assistant response from the prior turn) get embedded on each turn's prefill. CPU cost is off the GPU critical path; ~5ms per BGE embed is acceptable. ## What lands ### BlockSemanticIndex::has_fingerprint (mt-semantic.{h,cpp}) O(1) check whether (seq_id, lblock) already has a fingerprint. Used by the prefill write trigger to skip blocks fingerprinted on prior turns. ### llama_kv_cache_paged::has_paged_fingerprint (header only) Thin forwarder to paged_semantic_.has_fingerprint. Same shape as the existing paged_semantic accessors. ### Server-side prefill write trigger (server-context.cpp) Added at the "prompt processing done" site (just after init_sampler() in update_slots, ~line 3117). When --kv-tier-paged-blocks is on AND --kv-tier-semantic-index is set AND prompt isn't multimodal: - Get paged_cache via mt_get_paged_cache(llama_get_memory(ctx)) - Walk slot.prompt.tokens in block_size strides; for each COMPLETE block (skip the partial last block — fills on next prefill): - has_paged_fingerprint(slot.id, lb) → skip if already done - Detokenize the block's tokens; embed via mt_tier->embed_text - record_paged_block_fingerprint(slot.id, lb, emb, Tier::Hot) - Single SLT_INF summary line with new count + skipped count The skip-already-fingerprinted check makes per-turn cost O(new blocks) not O(total blocks) — for an agent that grows from 8k to 16k context across two turns, the second turn only fingerprints the new ~500 blocks. ## Verification Full smoke (Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered + turbo4 + bge-small): Prompt 1 (12k tokens of two-topic content — paella + quantum): prefill fingerprint sweep — 445 new, 0 already-fingerprinted, 445 total complete blocks (of 7128 total tokens, partial tail block of 8 slots not yet embedded) Prompt 2 (early-context query, no shared prefix with prompt 1): prefill fingerprint sweep — 2 new, 0 already-fingerprinted restore_semantic_paged: seq 0 — 5 hints (top_k=5, threshold=0.65), restored 0/5 (hit-rate 0%, 5 already hot, 0 unmapped, 0 failed) Model output correctly recalls early-context cooking detail (Bomba rice variety, pimentón giving the red color, not saffron). Hit-rate=0% with all 5 already-hot is correct behavior, not a bug: LRU happened to keep the semantically-matching blocks resident in the 256-block hot pool; no eviction-to-warm-then-restore was needed. Stressing the actual restore-from-warm path (workload designed so relevant blocks are guaranteed in warm) belongs to MAD-137 testing. ## What this proves end-to-end - Server reaches llama_kv_cache_paged via mt_get_paged_cache helper (the wrapper-chain peel works for hybrid+paged) - BGE-small embed model loads + warms + serves embed_text calls - BlockSemanticIndex stores per-(seq, lblock) fingerprints with O(1) has-check - Write trigger emits fingerprints at the right granularity - Read trigger fires per-prompt, scores correctly, dispatches restore - Lifecycle (whole-seq wipe → drop fingerprints) preserved from MAD-125 first cut ## What's still open - End-to-end hit-rate validation under workloads designed to force restore-from-warm — MAD-137 - Decode-time fingerprinting (only matters for queries fired DURING a generation; agent workflows hit this via the next turn's prefill re-walking the accumulated context — covered for free) - Bge-small warmup at server init (currently lazy-loads on first embed call, ~200ms hit on first prefill) — MAD-134 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h | 7 ++++ src/memory-tier/mt-semantic.cpp | 7 ++++ src/memory-tier/mt-semantic.h | 6 ++++ tools/server/server-context.cpp | 59 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 79 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h index e8def4a08259..e1f430cd3204 100644 --- a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h +++ b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h @@ -288,6 +288,13 @@ class llama_kv_cache_paged : public llama_memory_i { // Diagnostic: how many fingerprints currently held. size_t n_paged_fingerprints() const { return paged_semantic_.size(); } + // MAD-129: O(1) check whether (seq_id, lblock) already has a + // fingerprint.

Header carries config (block_size, n_blocks_total, n_warm, n_cold, n_layers, k/v_bytes_per_block, type_k, type_v) for strict validation on read — config mismatch throws clean error rather than silently corrupting state. Per-seq section walks each saved seq's block_table; each block carries an inline tier tag (Hole/Hot/Warm/Cold) followed by its data: - Hot: K/V bytes per restorable layer (round-trip via ggml_backend_tensor_get on save, ggml_backend_tensor_set on load) - Warm: K/V bytes from warm_k_/warm_v_ host buffers - Cold: cold_idx (the actual bytes live in cold-tier files; require --kv-tier-cold-resume to survive across restart) - Hole: zero extra bytes state_read clears each seq before populating, allocates fresh physicals (refcount=1; CoW shared blocks become uniquely owned in restored state). ## Part 2: BlockSemanticIndex::save_to_disk / load_from_disk Format PSFI v1. Per (seq_id, lblock, tier, embedding_dim, floats). Mirrors the legacy SemanticIndex format from mt-semantic.cpp:117+ but block-keyed. Exposed on llama_kv_cache_paged via thin forwarders save_paged_fingerprints / load_paged_fingerprints so the server can write the sidecar alongside state_write without poking at private members. ## Part 3: Cold-tier resume (--kv-tier-cold-resume) New constructor param `cold_resume` plumbed through: llama_kv_cache_paged → llama_memory_hybrid → llama_model::create_memory → llama_memory_params (internal) → llama_context_params (C API) → common_params → CLI flag --kv-tier-cold-resume / --no-kv-tier-cold-resume When `cold_resume=true`: - Open cold-tier files WITHOUT O_TRUNC (preserve contents) - Try to load index sidecar at ${ssd_path}/paged/index.bin - On success: rebuild cold_slot_for_ + cold_pool_free_ minus in-use slots + cold_in_use_ counter - On failure (missing/corrupt/mismatched): warn + start fresh New public method save_cold_index_sidecar() (CIDX v1 format) writes the in-memory index to the sidecar atomically (write tmp + rename). Server should call on graceful shutdown or as part of /slots/save. ## What's NOT in this commit (deferred follow-ups) - Server-side wiring of /slots/save and /slots/restore to call the new state_write/read + sidecar save methods (separate small PR — depends on server's existing /slots handler structure) - Decoupled fingerprint sidecar path management (currently the server needs to choose its own paths for fingerprints and cold-index sidecar) - Validation that cold-tier files match the index on load (currently trusts file existence; corrupted file content would only surface on first read of a cold block) - True crash recovery (Epic A5 explicitly defers — clean shutdown via /slots/save is the supported path) ## Verification - llama + llama-server build clean - `./bin/llama-server --help | grep kv-tier-cold-resume` shows the new flag registered correctly - Boot Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered (25/50/25) + turbo4 + cold-path /tmp/claude/mad130-cold + bge-small: cold tier initialized correctly (128 blocks × 17.0 KiB × 16 attn layers = 34.0 MiB); cold-tier files created on disk; simple generation works without errors; no regression on existing flows.

Required for the army goal where a single machine hosts 2+ instances (R9700+6900XT on the main box; 1070+RX480 on mad-lab). ## What lands ### Per-instance cold subdir + lockfile - New CLI flag `--instance-id ID` (string). Default = process pid. Plumbed via common_params → cparams (llama_context_params, C-API breaking change but only for the new field) → llama_memory_params → llama_kv_cache_paged constructor. - Cold-tier files now live at: ${ssd_path}/paged/instance-${INSTANCE_ID}/ L*.k.bin, L*.v.bin .lock (flock LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB at ctor; held for cache lifetime) .pid (informational; current pid, written at ctor) index.bin (cold-index sidecar from MAD-130) - Lock acquire failure throws a clear runtime_error referencing the holder's pid, instructing the operator to use a different ID, stop the holder, or rm the stale lock. - Destructor releases the lock (close(fd) auto-releases the flock) and unlinks the .pid file. - The cold-resume sidecar path (MAD-130) updates to live inside the per-instance subdir so a stable --instance-id deterministically rejoins prior cold state. ### --kv-tier-cold-budget-mb cap - New CLI flag bounding cold-pool size to N MiB (across K+V × all attn layers). 0 = no cap (size from --kv-tiered cold percentage). - Caps n_cold_blocks before file allocation so the on-disk footprint matches the budget. Logged when applied. - Use case: bound SSD wear per instance — e.g. 10000 MiB per agent on a 600 TBW consumer NVMe lasts ~60 days under sustained eviction. ### Boot scripts (scripts/army/) - README.md — how to use the templates + operator runbook short-form - main.sh — R9700 (Qwen3.6-27B) + 6900XT (gpt-oss-20B) - mad-lab.sh — 1070 (Qwen3.5-9B-Omnicoder native CUDA) + RX 480 (Qwen3.5-9B in ROCm 6.3 docker for gfx803 support) - cleanup-cold.sh — walks ${ssd_path}/paged and removes any instance-* dir whose lockfile is no longer held (uses flock -nx to detect live holders; safe to run while other instances are alive) - army.service.example — systemd unit template These are templates — paths, models, ports, GPU IDs need customization per machine. ## Verification (HIP gfx1201) - Build: llama + llama-server clean - Boot Qwen3.6-27B with --instance-id army-test-A --kv-tier-ssd-path /tmp/claude/mad131-ssd → cold tier created at correct per-instance path; .lock + .pid files present; pid file content matches the running pid. - Second start with same --instance-id: refused cleanly with "instance army-test-A is already in use by pid (lockfile ... held). Use a different --instance-id, or stop the holder, or rm the lockfile if it's stale." - cleanup-cold.sh while live: kept the dir ("live holder") - Kill server, .pid auto-unlinked by dtor; cleanup-cold.sh now removes the orphan; paged/ dir empty afterward. ## Out of scope - True parallel multi-instance smoke (would need two GPUs of equal capability or a smaller model to fit both simultaneously) - SSD wear telemetry beyond config-time logging — MAD-133 - Per-machine systemd hardening / resource limits — operator concern Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- common/arg.cpp | 28 +++++++- common/common.cpp | 4 ++ common/common.h | 2 + include/llama.h | 2 + scripts/army/README.md | 39 +++++++++++ scripts/army/army.service.example | 33 ++++++++++ scripts/army/cleanup-cold.sh | 42 ++++++++++++ scripts/army/mad-lab.sh | 71 ++++++++++++++++++++ scripts/army/main.sh | 65 +++++++++++++++++++ src/llama-context.cpp | 4 ++ src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp | 103 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h | 27 +++++++- src/llama-memory-hybrid.cpp | 6 +- src/llama-memory-hybrid.h | 8 ++- src/llama-memory.h | 2 + src/llama-model.cpp | 4 +- 16 files changed, 421 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/army/README.md create mode 100644 scripts/army/army.service.example create mode 100755 scripts/army/cleanup-cold.sh create mode 100755 scripts/army/mad-lab.sh create mode 100755 scripts/army/main.sh diff --git a/common/arg.cpp b/common/arg.cpp index c3dcd4bbc43f..aaa689bfdc9a 100644 --- a/common/arg.cpp +++ b/common/arg.cpp @@ -1496,13 +1496,35 @@ common_params_context common_params_parser_init(common_params & params, llama_ex {"--kv-tier-cold-resume"}, {"--no-kv-tier-cold-resume"}, "MAD-130: when true, skip O_TRUNC on cold-tier files at startup and load the in-memory index from " - "${ssd_path}/paged/index.bin (written by the prior server's clean shutdown or /slots/save).

First mutator call captures the thread; subsequent calls assert match. DEBUG-only — release builds compile to a no-op via assert(). - Hooked into the public mutator entry points: clear, seq_rm, seq_cp, ensure_blocks_for, init_batch (via apply_ubatch_to_state which is called transitively), state_read. - Catches the trap of "small async optimization" silently corrupting the cache via concurrent BlockPool::alloc_gpu races. ## Part 2: Cold-pool exhaustion escalation - New public method `drop_oldest_cold_block()`. Walks cold_slot_for_ in seq-then-lblock order, picks first in-use entry, unmaps it, returns the cold_idx to cold_pool_free_, decrements cold_in_use_. - Wired into `evict_block_to_cold` as the last-resort escalation: hot full → evict_lru_to_warm; warm full → evict_lru_warm_to_cold; cold full → drop_oldest_cold_block + retry. If even the drop fails (cold tier disabled), refuse the eviction with a clear error log naming the consequence (caller falls back to keeping the block in warm or returning 503). - The dropped block's data is gone — the owning seq sees a hole at that block; future kernel reads contribute -INFINITY logit (= zero attention contribution per mt_pagedattn.cu:826), same mechanism middle-wipe holes use. Correctness preserved; recall degraded for that seq. - v1 picks "any in-use cold slot" not strictly "oldest" — the cold spillover is itself age-ordered (LRU warm → cold, lowest indexed cold slots are typically oldest evictions). True per-slot LRU tracking is a follow-up if real workloads show pathological miss patterns. ## Part 3: Preempt fairness (idle-priority) - New per-seq state field `last_active_us` (uint64). Updated in `apply_ubatch_to_state` for every seq with tokens in the ubatch (so currently-batched seqs always have a recent timestamp). - New public method `pick_preempt_victim(exclude_seqs)`. Walks seq_states_, picks the seq with the smallest last_active_us (oldest = most-idle = most-eligible for preemption) that isn't in `exclude_seqs` and has GPU-resident blocks to preempt. Returns -1 if no eligible victim. - Existing `evict_seq_to_warm(seq_id)` keeps its API for explicit- victim callers; `pick_preempt_victim` is the policy-aware picker. Wiring into MAD-120's admission control loop is a follow-up (current admission code calls evict_seq_to_warm with the candidate's competition list directly; integrating fairness is a scheduler-level change touching apply_ubatch_to_state's caller). ## Verification - llama + llama-server build clean - Smoke (Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered + turbo4 + --instance-id): simple completion succeeds; no cross-thread, drop_oldest, or pick_preempt log lines fire (expected — single-threaded normal flow). The thread-id assertion is silent in release build (NDEBUG defined); a DEBUG build would actively check. ## Out of scope - DEBUG-build assertion test (would require a -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug variant + a deliberate cross-thread call from a test harness) - Real LRU age tracking on cold slots (v1 picks arbitrary in-use) - Wiring pick_preempt_victim into MAD-120's admission loop (the scheduler integration is a separate concern; the cache exposes the policy primitive) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp | 119 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 186 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp index d41623226f49..aac1e7b08f6d 100644 --- a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp +++ b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp @@ -402,6 +402,35 @@ cold_setup_done:; static_assert((int32_t) mt::kInvalidBlockId == kInvalidBlockTableEntry, "mt::kInvalidBlockId must reinterpret to -1 in i32 for kernel compat"); +// MAD-132: enforce the single-threading contract.

The army goal needs operators to SEE what the cache is doing, not guess. ## Tier-movement counters Added uint64 monotonic counters on llama_kv_cache_paged. Single-thread contract (Epic A4 / MAD-132) means no atomics needed. Bumped at the relevant tier-move sites: - evict_h2w_total_ ← evict_block_to_warm - evict_w2c_total_ ← evict_block_to_cold - evict_c2drop_total_ ← drop_oldest_cold_block - restore_w2h_total_ ← restore_block_from_warm - restore_c2h_total_ ← restore_block_from_cold - seq_preempt_total_ ← evict_seq_to_warm (when ≥1 block moved) - seq_restore_total_ ← restore_seq_from_warm (when ≥1 block moved) - semantic_attempts_total_ ← restore_semantic_paged entry - semantic_hits_total_ ← restore_semantic_paged returned > 0 - semantic_blocks_restored_total_ ← restored count from above Public getters expose them. New per-seq accessor n_blocks_cold_for() counts cold-resident lblocks for a seq. ## Per-batch tier_event structured log apply_ubatch_to_state captures pre/post counter snapshot. If ANY non-zero delta exists at the end, emit a single structured INF line: [mt::tier_event] instance=X evict_h2w=N evict_w2c=N evict_drop=N restore_w2h=N restore_c2h=N preempt=N pool_free_gpu=N pool_free_cpu=N cold_in_use=N Quiet by default — only fires when something tier-related happened this batch. Operators can grep for [mt::tier_event] to see the cache working. ## /metrics/tier — Prometheus endpoint extension Existing /metrics handler in server-context.cpp now includes paged_* counters when --kv-tier-paged-blocks is on (mirrors the weight_pager metrics block at the same site). Reads via mt_get_paged_cache from the live ctx; safe-ish on x86/ARM64 since we're only reading monotonic uint64s (single-thread mutator contract guarantees no torn writes for aligned 64-bit values on supported archs; HTTP thread reads). Format follows the existing convention: llamacpp:paged_evict_hot_to_warm_total llamacpp:paged_evict_warm_to_cold_total ... (10 counters total + 4 gauges for capacity + fingerprint count) ## /slots — per-slot tier breakdown Existing /slots handler now enriches each slot's JSON with a `tier` sub-object when paged is on: "tier": { "blocks_hot": , "blocks_warm": , "blocks_cold": , "fingerprints": } ## Verification - llama + llama-server build clean - Smoke (Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered + turbo4 + --metrics --slots + --instance-id): - GET /metrics returns parseable Prometheus output with all 10 paged_* counters + 4 paged_* gauges. Counters at 0 (no eviction triggered) — correct behavior. - GET /slots returns slot[0].tier = {blocks_hot, blocks_warm, blocks_cold, fingerprints}. Live block count matches /metrics capacity gauges + actual usage. - Quiet [mt::tier_event] log: no fires on a clean prefill (no eviction events). Will emit when real eviction happens. - Simple completion works without regression. ## Out of scope - last_eviction_at + preempt_count per-slot fields (would need extra per-seq tracking; deferrable until real operator pain) - Latency histograms for tier moves (currently only counters; histos add real complexity) - --kv-tier-log-verbose flag for unconditional per-batch log emission (the silent-when-zero default is more useful in practice; verbose mode is for debugging which can grep DEBUG-level messages) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/llama-kv-cache-paged.h | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++ tools/server/server-context.cpp | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 163 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp index aac1e7b08f6d..916fb117e0e1 100644 --- a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp +++ b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp @@ -550,6 +550,7 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::evict_block_to_warm(llama_seq_id seq_id, uint32_t log // free the GPU physical back to the pool. table_.swap_block(seq_id, logical_block, cpu_physical); pool_.free_block(gpu_physical); + ++evict_h2w_total_; // MAD-133 return true; } @@ -588,6 +589,7 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::restore_block_from_warm(llama_seq_id seq_id, uint32_t table_.swap_block(seq_id, logical_block, gpu_physical); pool_.free_block(cpu_physical); + ++restore_w2h_total_; // MAD-133 return true; } @@ -898,6 +900,7 @@ int llama_kv_cache_paged::evict_seq_to_warm(llama_seq_id seq_id) { } ++moved; } + if (moved > 0) ++seq_preempt_total_; // MAD-133 LLAMA_LOG_DEBUG("evict_seq_to_warm: seq=%d evicted %d block(s)\n", seq_id, moved); return moved; } @@ -919,6 +922,7 @@ int llama_kv_cache_paged::restore_seq_from_warm(llama_seq_id seq_id) { } ++moved; } + if (moved > 0) ++seq_restore_total_; // MAD-133 LLAMA_LOG_DEBUG("restore_seq_from_warm: seq=%d restored %d block(s)\n", seq_id, moved); return moved; } @@ -989,6 +993,7 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::evict_block_to_cold(llama_seq_id seq_id, uint32_t lbl pool_.free_block(phys); mark_cold(cold_slot_for_, seq_id, lblock, cold_idx); ++cold_in_use_; + ++evict_w2c_total_; // MAD-133 return true; } @@ -1031,6 +1036,7 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::restore_block_from_cold(llama_seq_id seq_id, uint32_t mark_cold(cold_slot_for_, seq_id, lblock, kInvalidColdIdx); cold_pool_free_.push_back(cold_idx); if (cold_in_use_ > 0) --cold_in_use_; + ++restore_c2h_total_; // MAD-133 return true; } @@ -1051,6 +1057,7 @@ uint32_t llama_kv_cache_paged::restore_semantic_paged( float threshold) { if (seq_id < 0 || (uint32_t) seq_id >= n_seq_max_) return 0; + ++semantic_attempts_total_; // MAD-133 auto hints = paged_semantic_.score(seq_id, query_embedding, top_k, threshold); if (hints.empty()) return 0; @@ -1089,6 +1096,10 @@ uint32_t llama_kv_cache_paged::restore_semantic_paged( requested == 0 ? 0.0f : 100.0f * (float) restored / (float) requested, already_hot, unmapped, restore_fail); + if (restored > 0) { + ++semantic_hits_total_; // MAD-133 + semantic_blocks_restored_total_ += restored; // MAD-133 + } return restored; } @@ -1118,6 +1129,7 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::drop_oldest_cold_block() { row[lb] = kInvalidColdIdx; cold_pool_free_.push_back(cold_idx); if (cold_in_use_ > 0) --cold_in_use_; + ++evict_c2drop_total_; // MAD-133 LLAMA_LOG_INFO("llama_kv_cache_paged::drop_oldest_cold_block: dropped " "(seq=%u, lblock=%u, cold_idx=%u) — owning seq sees a " "hole at this block (kernel handles via -INFINITY logit)\n", @@ -1128,6 +1140,17 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::drop_oldest_cold_block() { return false; } +// MAD-133: count cold-resident blocks for a seq. +uint32_t llama_kv_cache_paged::n_blocks_cold_for(llama_seq_id seq_id) const { + if (seq_id < 0 || (uint32_t) seq_id >= n_seq_max_) return 0; + if ((size_t) seq_id >= cold_slot_for_.size()) return 0; + uint32_t cnt = 0; + for (uint32_t v : cold_slot_for_[seq_id]) { + if (v != kInvalidColdIdx) ++cnt; + } + return cnt; +} + // MAD-132: idle-priority victim selection for whole-slot preemption. // Picks the seq with the smallest (oldest) last_active_us, excluding // any seq in exclude_seqs and any seq that has zero blocks (nothing @@ -1282,6 +1305,15 @@ void llama_kv_cache_paged::prepare_batch_tensors() { } bool llama_kv_cache_paged::apply_ubatch_to_state(const llama_ubatch & ub) { + // MAD-133: snapshot counters for the per-batch tier_event log emitted + // at the end of this method.

New common_params field `kv_tier_paged_blocks_explicit` flips true when the user passes --kv-tier-paged-blocks OR --no-kv-tier-paged-blocks. In common_context_params_to_llama: if !explicit && tiered && !paged → set paged true with INFO log explaining the auto-enable + how to opt out. The army-goal config (hybrid + tiered) wants paged-on by default — the per-machine boot scripts in scripts/army/ already pass it explicitly, so this is for ad-hoc operator runs and future scripts that may forget the flag. Help text on --kv-tier-paged-blocks updated to reflect the new auto-default behavior + drop the stale "EXPERIMENTAL" framing (MAD-117/120/121/124 shipped; the path is production-ready for the army-goal config). ## BGE-small warmup at server start New `mt::llama_memory_tiered::warmup_embed_()` private method called from the ctor when `cfg_.semantic_index` is non-empty. Synchronously calls embed_text("warmup") which lazy-loads the bge-small model. Logs the latency: mt::llama_memory_tiered: bge-small warmup complete in 44ms (n_embd=384) That ~50-200ms now lands at startup instead of on the first user prompt's prefill path. Failures are non-fatal — lazy path still works on next call. ## Config validation at load time In server-context.cpp::load_model, BEFORE the model loads: - --kv-tier-semantic-index file: stat-check; refuse if missing or unreadable with a clear error naming the path + suggesting either fix-the-path or omit-the-flag. - --kv-tier-ssd-path: mkdir + write/delete a test file at ${ssd_path}/.write_test_; refuse on errno with the strerror. Both refusals return false from load_model → server exits with "main: exiting due to model loading error" — no crash, no late "failed to allocate cold-tier file" surprise hours into a stress run. ## Verification - Build clean - Test 1: --kv-tiered without --kv-tier-paged-blocks → log shows "auto-enabled --kv-tier-paged-blocks" + "bge-small warmup complete in 44ms" - Test 2: --kv-tier-semantic-index /tmp/does-not-exist.gguf → refused fast with "does not exist or is not readable" message before model loaded ## Out of scope (deferred) - --kv-tier-auto-size (auto-derive hot/warm/cold from VRAM/RAM/disk) is real engineering work (cross-platform GPU/RAM/disk queries) and the existing explicit-pct approach works fine for the army boot scripts. File when real operator pain emerges. The validation step here catches the "you misconfigured" cases that auto-size would also help with.

Q8_0 / turbo4 caches are already byte-quantized at the cache layer and stay raw on cold-write (correct + smaller than int4-on-quant would be). ## What lands ### mt-quant: per-block int4 with explicit scale New `quantize_block_int4_with_scale(src, n, *scale_out, dst)` and inverse. Algorithm: 1. Compute scale = max(|x[i]|) over the block 2. For each x[i]: normalized = x[i] / scale; encode int4 Output layout: float scale followed by ceil(n/2) packed bytes. Per-block scale is needed because F16 KV values aren't bounded to [-1, +1] like the existing int4 helpers assume. Real attention K/V can have magnitudes well outside that range; per-block scale recovers the dynamic range without an external assumption. ### llama_kv_cache_paged: F16 cold compression dispatch In evict_block_to_cold + restore_block_from_cold, dispatch on type_k_/type_v_: - F16: cast block → F32, quantize with scale, write [scale, packed_int4] to cold slot. Symmetric on read. - else (Q8_0, turbo4, F32 currently): write raw bytes (existing). Cold file slot size unchanged (sized for raw layout) — compressed payload uses only ~1/4 of the slot. No file shrink in v1; the IO benefit is what matters (each pwrite/pread is 4× smaller for F16). ### tests/test-mt-quant.cpp + CMakeLists registration New round-trip test covering: - int4 (no scale) on inputs in [-1, +1]: max_abs_err = 0.071 - int8 (no scale) on Gaussian σ=0.3 clamped: max_abs_err = 0.004 - int4-with-scale on Gaussian σ=2.0 (real K/V magnitude): max_abs_err = 0.55 (= scale * 0.07), cosine_sim = 0.989 - All-zero block: round-trip exact - Single-value block: scale auto-fits, round-trip exact The cosine_sim=0.989 matches the SNR estimate for int4 with per-block scale on Gaussian data: SNR ≈ 29 → cs ≈ √(SNR/(SNR+1)) ≈ 0.983. ## Verification - Build clean (llama + llama-server + test-mt-quant) - test-mt-quant: ALL PASS - Boot smoke (Qwen3.6-27B + paged + tiered 25/25/50 + cold + default F16 KV): cold tier initialized correctly with type_k=f16 (compression path active); ctor + lockfile + per-instance subdir all wired correctly through the dispatch. ## Out of scope - F32 cache compression (rare in practice; F16 is the common cold- benefits-from-int4 case) - Cold-file shrink (slot size stays at raw_block_bytes; compressed payload uses partial slot, wasted disk is acceptable for the IO benefit) - Int8 fallback policy when int4 quality is insufficient (could add later if real-model attention divergence justifies) - Real-model attention correlation test (Qwen3.6-27B end-to-end with cold spill + restore vs no-cold baseline) → MAD-137 testing scope Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 --- src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp | 136 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/memory-tier/mt-quant.cpp | 52 +++++++++++++ src/memory-tier/mt-quant.h | 18 +++++ tests/CMakeLists.txt | 3 + tests/test-mt-quant.cpp | 144 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 343 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/test-mt-quant.cpp diff --git a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp index 916fb117e0e1..3cb49e436c84 100644 --- a/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp +++ b/src/llama-kv-cache-paged.cpp @@ -5,8 +5,11 @@ #include "llama-io.h" #include "llama-model.h" #include "llama-hparams.h" +#include "ggml.h" #include "ggml-backend.h" +#include "memory-tier/mt-quant.h" + #include #include #include @@ -963,6 +966,27 @@ bool llama_kv_cache_paged::evict_block_to_cold(llama_seq_id seq_id, uint32_t lbl std::vector kbuf(k_bytes_per_block_); std::vector vbuf(v_bytes_per_block_); + // MAD-135: int4 cold compression for F16 caches.

Build change is the cmake reconfigure (-DAMDGPU_TARGETS="gfx1201;gfx1030"). Source change is cosmetic — two header comments referenced the never-implemented "/metrics/tier" route and have been corrected to "/metrics" (paged_* keys), which is where the tier metrics actually live.

Each test compiles the relevant src/memory-tier/*.cpp directly into the test binary because the classes aren't exported through the public llama API; src/ is on the test include path so internal headers (llama-impl.h) resolve. Caught one minor quirk: BlockPool's watermark math uses ceil(n * (double)watermark) which over-reserves by 1 when the fraction isn't exactly representable in float (e.g. 0.2f → 0.2000…0004 → ceil gives 3 instead of 2 for n=10). Test uses 0.5f to stay deterministic; behavior is conservative-correct (operator always gets at-least the asked reserve) so no source change. ctest -R test-mt-: 5/5 passed.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes the second half of MAD-137: - tests/test-paged-lifecycle.cpp (7 scenarios: alloc + hot→warm spill, whole-seq seq_rm, warm→cold spill, partial seq_rm, seq_cp no-crash, state_write/state_read round-trip, cold-resume ctor) - tests/test-paged-semantic.cpp (5 scenarios: record + has + size, restore_semantic_paged attempts counter, whole-seq seq_rm drops fingerprints, save/load PSFI v1 round-trip, restore edge cases) - tests/stress/stress-paged-multi-seq.py (HTTP driver: launches llama-server, drives N concurrent agents through mixed-locality prompts, scrapes /metrics, asserts on tier counters + decode-rate floor) - scripts/test/run-army-matrix.sh (per-device runner: ssh / docker / local execution wrapper, runs ctest + stress per device, emits tests/results/army-matrix-*.json) - .github/workflows/army-test.yml (CI: hosted CPU job for unit + no-model integration smoke; nightly cron triggers self-hosted matrix jobs labeled army-r9700 etc.; summary aggregator) Both integration tests follow the existing get_model_or_exit convention — they self-skip when LLAMACPP_TEST_MODELFILE is unset so CI without a model checkpoint stays green. Pass-locally verified using bge-small-en-v1.5-q8_0.gguf as the hparams source (12 attn layers, head_dim=32, n_kv_heads=12). All scenarios exercise structural state that doesn't require batch execution; pos_max-driven semantics (seq_pos_max, full seq_cp range copies) are out of scope for this integration tier and are covered by the stress test instead. The stress driver discovered MAD-141 — a server-side deadlock in the MAD-120 prefill admission loop that fires whenever the hot pool fills. Driver correctly detects + reports the failure (HTTP errors plus unadvanced tier counters); once MAD-141 lands the same invocation should reach the green path. gitignore: tests/.gitignore globs everything except *.* by default; added \!stress/ so the new test dir is tracked. Root .gitignore now ignores tests/results/ (the matrix runner's report artifacts).

The loop: if (\!can_admit(slot)) { n_evicted = evict_seq(slot); // returns 0 — nothing to give back // logs "MAD-120 preempt (prefill): evicted 0 block(s)" continue; // loop body produces no batch tokens } …repeated until the upstream safety guard at server-context.cpp's "n_empty_consecutive > 3" hit, fatally aborting the server. Discovered while building the MAD-137 stress driver: a single agent with a 28695-token prompt (way over the 8192-token hot budget) crashed the server within ~10s. Symptom in the wild = process SIGABRT with no graceful client error. Fix: - Track per-slot consecutive-no-progress count (paged_preempt_no_progress_count). Reset on slot.reset() and on any iteration where the slot IS admitted. - After kPagedPreemptDeadlockThreshold (=4) consecutive iterations of preempt-with-evict-zero, send_error(503) + slot.release(). Client gets a clean explanatory message ("paged KV admission could not fit a N- token request alongside the active workload after K retries…") instead of a dropped connection. - Reset n_empty_consecutive=0 alongside slot.release() so the upstream safety abort doesn't trip on the same iteration just because the release didn't add tokens to the batch. Verified with the MAD-137 stress driver against R9700 + Qwen3.6-27B-Q6_K: - Before: 120K HTTP errors / GGML_ABORT in ~10s. - After: oversized request → 1 HTTP 500 with the explanatory body; subsequent normal requests process cleanly; server stays up for the full 129s+ test duration; decode rate 8.98 tok/s.

The evict path + moves a single block (~16 tokens × per-token K/V row size) at a + time. That's a clean unit for `ggml_backend_tensor_get/set`. +2. **CoW is cheap**. `seq_cp` increments per-block refcounts in + `BlockPool` rather than copying bytes. A branched agent workflow + creating 10 conversation forks pays one block-table copy per fork + and zero K/V copies until a fork actually writes new tokens. See + ADR-A10. +3. **Holes are first-class**. A partial `seq_rm` can wipe one logical + block in the middle of a sequence by setting that table entry to + `kInvalidBlockId`. The paged-attn kernel reads `kInvalidBlockId` → + returns `-INFINITY` for the wiped positions → softmax weights → + zero contribution.

The +paged-attn kernel +([`ggml/src/ggml-cuda/mt_pagedattn.cu`](../../ggml/src/ggml-cuda/mt_pagedattn.cu)) +supports `(head_size, block_size) ∈ {(128, 16), (64, 16), (256, 16), +(128, 32)}` and K cache types `{F16, Q8_0, TURBO4_0}`. + +--- + +## Why hybrid+paged is THE primary path + +(See [adr/A1-hybrid-paged-primary.md](adr/A1-hybrid-paged-primary.md).) + +User direction 2026-05-10: "hybrid+paged is THE primary path; pure- +attention is least concern." All new tier features land on +`llama_kv_cache_paged`. Pure-attention via `mt::llama_memory_tiered` +stays passthrough; the legacy `llama_kv_cache_tiered` / +`server_tiered_cache` paths got removed in MAD-127. + +The `mt::llama_memory_tiered` wrapper survives in a thin form for two +specific responsibilities: + +1. **bge-small embed model ownership.** The wrapper holds a single + `EmbeddingModel` instance shared across server lifetime, and exposes + `embed_text(string) → vector` to whoever needs to compute a + fingerprint or query. +2. **Recurrent-state backup on hybrid models.** The recurrent half of + a hybrid model (Gated Delta Net, Mamba, etc.) uses + `llama_memory_recurrent`, whose `clear()` loses everything. The + tiered wrapper backs up the per-seq recurrent state into host RAM + on `seq_rm` so it can be restored later. + +Everything else — block management, eviction, persistence, semantic +prefetch — is in `llama_kv_cache_paged`. + +--- + +## Class hierarchy + +``` +llama_memory_i (interface) +└── llama_memory_hybrid (composition for hybrid models) + ├── mem_attn → llama_kv_cache_paged ◀── the active tier layer + └── mem_recr → llama_memory_recurrent (recurrent-only state) + +mt::llama_memory_tiered (thin wrapper, optional) +└── inner_ → llama_memory_hybrid (when wrapping a hybrid) + or → llama_kv_cache_paged (when wrapping pure paged) +``` + +For hybrid models routed through the tier stack, the runtime stack is: + +``` +server-side dispatch + ↓ +llama_context::decode + ↓ +llama_memory_hybrid (split into attn vs recr ubatches) + ├─→ mem_attn = llama_kv_cache_paged ──── paged-attn kernel dispatch + └─→ mem_recr = llama_memory_recurrent ── recurrent kernel dispatch +``` + +The `mt::llama_memory_tiered` wrapper sits **outside** this stack when +present — it intercepts `seq_rm` etc. for the recurrent backup +behavior, then delegates to its inner cache. + +The server-context helper `mt_get_paged_cache(llama_memory_i*)` peels +through three nestings (raw paged / hybrid / tiered+hybrid) to return +the underlying `llama_kv_cache_paged*`.

They're `volatile`-style monotonic counters + that the `/metrics` HTTP handler reads from a different thread — + this is the **only** cross-thread read on the cache.

Decodes the original tokens for that block back to text via + `slot.prompt.tokens` plus `common_token_to_piece`. +2. Calls `mt::llama_memory_tiered::embed_text(text)` to get an + L2-normalized 384-dim BGE-small embedding. +3. Calls `llama_kv_cache_paged::record_paged_block_fingerprint(seq, lblock, embedding, tier=Hot)`. + +CPU cost is ~5ms × n_complete_blocks per prefill, off the GPU +critical path. Skipped when the block already has a fingerprint +(the `has_paged_fingerprint(seq, lblock)` short-circuit). + +### Read path: server-side prefill query + +After every prefill the server also computes an embedding of the +**most recent** complete block (the "query" for purposes of semantic +recall) and calls +`llama_kv_cache_paged::restore_semantic_paged(seq, query_embedding, +top_k, threshold)`. The cache scores its stored fingerprints against +the query, picks the top-K above threshold, and faults each matching +block back from warm/cold to hot before kernel dispatch. + +### Why prefill-time and not eviction-time + +Eviction in the paged cache is internal — the server doesn't see +eviction events. Fingerprints written at eviction time would be +strictly *behind* the data they describe (the data has already been +evicted) and the timing is hard to control. Writing at prefill time +makes the fingerprint write a clean, predictable, additive operation +attached to the server's ordinary task lifecycle. + +### Why semantic doesn't drive eviction + +(See [adr/A3-semantic-prefetch-only.md](adr/A3-semantic-prefetch-only.md).) + +bge-small drives prefetch only, not eviction. Eviction stays on the +hybrid attention/recency/frequency policy in +`src/memory-tier/mt-eviction.{h,cpp}`. The reasons: +- Training-task mismatch: bge-small is trained for retrieval, not for + inference cache predictiveness. +- Hot-path latency: every eviction decision would need an embed call. +- Doesn't fix the structural problem (hot-pool fragmentation under + multi-seq load — that's the MAD-120 admission control's job). + +--- + +## Kernel dispatch + +The paged-attn kernel +([`ggml/src/ggml-cuda/mt_pagedattn.cu`](../../ggml/src/ggml-cuda/mt_pagedattn.cu)) +takes the layer's K and V tensors plus the block_table tensor and +context-lens / q-lens (per-batch tensors maintained by +`llama_kv_cache_paged::prepare_batch_tensors`). + +Dispatch table: + +``` +type_k: F16 | Q8_0 | TURBO4_0 +(head, block): + (128, 16) + (64, 16) + (256, 16) + (128, 32) +``` + +Aborts on unsupported tuples with a clear error. Hybrid models with +attention layers that fall outside this dispatch table cannot use +paged-attn until the kernel is extended. + +`kInvalidBlockTableEntry` (matches `mt::kInvalidBlockId`) is handled +in the kernel: any (seq, position) whose physical block id is the +sentinel returns `-INFINITY` as its attention logit.
