What this PR adds

  • Adds the Qwen3-8B 200-step GRPO consistency example for one 8×H100 node.
  • Adds fail-closed launch manifests, runtime readbacks, CUDA Graph checks, sealed-run validation, aggregation, and plotting.
  • Integrates RL-Kernel deterministic Attention, dense FFN, and linear logp with Megatron training and vLLM rollout.
  • Fixes the native production logp route and decouples CUDA Graph injection from strict-provider selection.
  • Publishes sealed G11/G10 per-step data, aggregate tables, and reproducible consistency/training figures.

Experiment scope

Group Reuse rollout logp Attention / FFN / logp Published run Status
G10 on production / production g10-convergence-s1234-tp4-20260901j sealed, 200 steps
G11 on RL-Kernel / RL-Kernel g11-convergence-s1234-tp4-20260901e sealed, 200 steps
G00 off production / production paused, not published
G01 off RL-Kernel / RL-Kernel paused, not published

G10h and G10i are audit-only stopped attempts and are excluded. G11e is the immutable sealed G11 selected by the protocol; this PR does not rerun it.

CUDA Graph and deterministic runtime contract

  • Each vLLM engine is forced to FULL_DECODE_ONLY, enforce_eager=false.
  • Exact capture sizes are [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]; the default FULL_AND_PIECEWISE / 51-size configuration is rejected.
  • Deterministic settings include CUDA_DEVICE_MAX_CONNECTIONS=1, CUBLAS_WORKSPACE_CONFIG=:16:8, CUBLASLT_WORKSPACE_SIZE=1, NCCL_ALGO=Ring, and NVTE_ALLOW_NONDETERMINISTIC_ALGO=0.
  • Validators reject missing execution evidence, unexpected providers, fallback/Triton provenance for strict routes, non-CUDA execution, OOM, traceback, and CUDA Graph contract drift.

Actual arm routes and provenance

Group Megatron attention / FFN Megatron logp Transformer Engine RL-Kernel VIME
G11 strict RL-Kernel deterministic R/R strict rlkernel.linear_logp.bitwise.v1 provider 2.11 5403df6 a013293
G10 production fused P/P VIME native calculate_log_probs_and_entropy; no provider 2.18 d2173e8 1a113710

Both use Megatron 1dcf0da. The later G10 contains production-route verification (576741f / 1a113710) and CUDA Graph/provider decoupling (d2173e8). Because the immutable G11 and final G10 use different RL-Kernel/VIME and Transformer Engine revisions, this report makes no performance comparison.

Sealed G10/G11 results

Group Active tokens Bitwise mismatches Agreement Token-weighted mean abs Δlogp Max abs Δlogp Mean raw reward
G11 strict RL-Kernel 9,806,995 0 100.0000% 0 0 0.3950
G10 VIME-native 9,927,045 5,764,529 41.9311% 0.012567 1.191781 0.3794

G11 supplies the strongest consistency claim: zero runtime bitwise train/rollout log-probability mismatches across 9.81M active tokens. G10 is the native production comparison, not a failure gate. The reward difference is descriptive only: this publication has one seed, and outcome-level math reward is much less sensitive than token-level log-probability statistics.

Interpretation and limitations

  • G11's near-zero scalar policy loss and PPO KL do not imply absent gradients. With rollout-logp reuse the pre-update ratio is exactly one, while GRPO group-centered advantages can cancel in the reported scalar; nonzero gradient norms are present on informative groups.
  • The plotted PPO KL is the current/train versus old/rollout policy diagnostic, not KL to a reference model.
  • Offline tensor comparison is unavailable because the VIME debug dump did not include training log_probs; the sealed validator uses VIME runtime torch.ne, maximum, and mean absolute-difference metrics.
  • No throughput or step-time figure is published because the two sealed runs are not version-matched for a defensible performance comparison.

Validation

  • Both sealed run validators passed.
  • Both vLLM engines independently passed FULL_DECODE_ONLY and exact capture-size 1–8 checks.
  • G11 strict RL-Kernel runtime readbacks passed with zero mismatch, CUDA execution, and no fallback.
  • G10 passed the VIME-native marker and rejected any linear-logp provider hook.
  • 400 per-step rows and aggregate invariants were verified.
  • Ruff and Git diff checks passed for changed collector/report scripts.
  • No smoke training was run.

Machine-readable artifacts and reproduction instructions are in examples/vime_qwen3_8b_tp4_cp2_200/results/convergence_s1234_g10_g11.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f50c3

This PR adds new deterministic rollout/training paths and publishes consistency results, but the current head still contains runtime launch failures, CUDA Graph configuration hazards, CI failures, and report/aggregate correctness issues that can prevent valid runs or publish misleading results. It is not merge-ready until these bounded issues are resolved.

Both validators depend on private helpers of rl_engine.integrations.runtime. _contains_triton and _runtime_platform are underscore-prefixed. A rename or signature change inside that module silently breaks the fail-closed Triton and CUDA-provenance checks in both sealed validators. Export a public wrapper from rl_engine/integrations/runtime.py and import that.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject capture-size overrides below the required decode batch size.

RL_KERNEL_VLLM_CUDAGRAPH_MAX_CAPTURE_SIZE replaces the calculated maximum without validation. For example, a rollout batch size of 8 with an override of 1 emits only [1]. Decode batches 2 through 8 then have no requested CUDA Graph capture size.

Require the override to be at least rollout_batch_size * n_samples_per_prompt, or remove the override path.

Do not require progress-bar records for timer analysis.

The emitted perf/... records provide the timing inputs. An absent, reformatted, or unpaired tqdm event causes this code to raise before it analyzes otherwise complete timer records. Treat progress durations as optional audit data and emit a warning when the audit is unavailable.

🌐 Web query:

According to the official NumPy 2.4 documentation, how do numpy.percentileandnumpy.minbehave for an empty float array when noinitial value is supplied?

💡 Result:

According to the official NumPy 2.4 documentation, numpy.percentile and numpy.min exhibit different behaviors when called on an empty float array without an initial value: numpy.percentile Calling numpy.percentile on an empty array raises an IndexError [1]. The function cannot compute the requested percentile from an empty input, leading to a failure when attempting a non-empty take from the empty axis [1]. numpy.min The behavior of numpy.min depends on the specified axis [2][3]: - If axis is None: Calling numpy.min on an empty array raises a ValueError because it is a reduction on an empty set [2][3]. - If axis is specified: Whether it works depends on the dimensions of the array [3]. Specifically, if the reduction is over an axis of length zero, it typically raises a ValueError (e.g., "zero-size array to minimum.reduce without identity") [2][3]. However, if the axis length is non-zero (meaning the reduction is across empty collections of data rather than an empty dimension), it may return an empty array instead of raising an error [3]. When the optional initial value is provided to numpy.min, it allows for computation on an empty slice, as the initial value serves as the identity element or default value for the reduction [4][5][6].

Handle groups with no fully truncated steps.

If saturated is empty, describe calls numpy.percentile and numpy.min on an empty array. These calls raise IndexError and ValueError, so summarize cannot write summary.json. Emit count: 0 with null subset statistics, or omit the statistics for an empty subset.

Add an alignment check before the BF16 pair stores.

Both sites cast output to nv_bfloat162* without verifying alignment. check_tensor() validates contiguity but not byte-level alignment. A contiguous BF16 tensor with a nonzero storage offset can have a pointer aligned only to 2 bytes, which is insufficient for 4-byte pair stores.

Guard the pair path at lines 211 and 290: use the pair path only when (reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(output) % sizeof(nv_bfloat162)) == 0. Otherwise, call fixed_tree_reduce<nv_bfloat16, WorldSize> for each element.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Align the token-weighted mean denominator with its numerator.

weighted_abs_numerator only sums steps that have both mean_abs_dlogp and active_token_count. token_total sums the tokens of every step with a finite active_token_count. If any step reports tokens without mean_abs_dlogp, mean_abs_dlogp_token_weighted is diluted toward zero. Also, mean_abs_dlogp is not checked for NaN here, while _finite excludes NaN everywhere else; one NaN step makes the published value NaN.

Accumulate both the numerator and its own token denominator in one pass over the paired, finite values.

♻️ Proposed fix
-        weighted_abs_numerator = sum(
-            float(item["mean_abs_dlogp"]) * float(item["active_token_count"])
-            for item in items
-            if item.get("mean_abs_dlogp") is not None
-            and item.get("active_token_count") is not None
-        )
-        token_total = sum(tokens)
+        weighted_abs_numerator = 0.0
+        weighted_token_total = 0.0
+        for item in items:
+            abs_value = item.get("mean_abs_dlogp")
+            token_value = item.get("active_token_count")
+            if (
+                isinstance(abs_value, (int, float))

+                and math.isfinite(float(abs_value))

+                weighted_token_total += float(token_value)
+        token_total = sum(tokens)

Then divide by weighted_token_total:

                 "mean_abs_dlogp_token_weighted": (
-                    weighted_abs_numerator / token_total if token_total else None

Gate direct staging on the cuBLASLt backend. det_gemm_linear(..., out=...) raises when auto mode selects the documented SM90 fallback or when SM90 is selected explicitly. A normal strict rollout then fails on the first eligible o_proj or packed FFN shape instead of using the existing non-staged deterministic reduction path.

  • rl_engine/integrations/vllm_runtime.py#L431-L431: only pass out=direct_output when the active backend supports direct output; otherwise retain the in-place reduction path.

The current aggregation can pass with just one reporter. Should we also check that we got the full expected set of ranks and engines here?

I think this only verifies the configuration string. Do we have a way to check that both vLLM engines actually captured and replayed the graph?

Could we wait for a persisted Ray terminal status before marking this complete? Otherwise, a failure after the last logged step could still get sealed as successful.

contiguous() doesn't necessarily give us the alignment required by nv_bfloat162. Could we check the pointer alignment here and fall back to scalar bf16 when it's not aligned?

Follow-up: version-matched 200-step G10/G11 scale-reference run

This is a new matched comparison, separate from the previously published sealed runs. Both arms use the same clean revisions and workload:

  • RL-Kernel b3bfd2beef97a00d9f9aac678f5d251504fbfa85
  • VIME 1a113710e80aa7cfc271caa9bd90bcf348a7af08
  • Megatron-LM 1dcf0dafa884ad52ffb243625717a3471643e087
  • 1 node / 8×H100 80GB, TP4/CP2, 200 steps, seed/rollout seed 1234
  • rollout batch 8 prompts × 16 samples = global batch 128, max response 7,168, max tokens/GPU 4,096
  • rollout-logp reuse enabled; reference KL loss enabled with coefficient 0.001

Both Ray submissions succeeded at 200/200. Each has 1,600 train-data snapshots, exactly 8 ranks for every step. The manifest audit found no unexpected common-configuration differences; expected differences are the G10 P/P versus G11 R/R routes, strict provider/CI gates, and identity-derived fields/paths.

Paired results, steps 1–200

Metric G10 mean G11 mean G10−G11 n
Raw reward 0.5286 0.4914 +0.0371 200
Reference KL loss 0.0570 0.0038 +0.0532 200
Rollout time (s) 130.22 82.40 +47.82 200
Rollout tokens/GPU/s 672.39 1,138.13 −465.75 200
Longest-sample tokens/s 55.51 87.94 −32.43 200
Reference log-prob time (s) 20.90 30.78 −9.87 200
Actor train time (s) 80.51 131.67 −51.16 200
Actor train tokens/s 8,993.65 5,736.97 +3,256.68 200
Total train time (s) 101.65 162.68 −61.03 200
Total step time (s) 251.99 265.23 −13.25 200

G11 improves rollout throughput by 69.3% and reduces rollout time by 36.7%. G10 is 56.8% faster in actor-train throughput and has 38.9% lower actor-train time, so the end-to-end result favors G10 by 13.25 s/step (5.0%) on this run.

The paired reward difference is +0.037109 G10−G11, with a paired-step 95% bootstrap CI of [+0.030586, +0.043555] (seed 1234, 20,000 resamples). This interval describes variation across the 200 paired steps of this single-seed run; it is not a multi-seed confidence interval.

Train/rollout log-probability consistency

  • G11: all 200 steps are strictly bitwise clean: mismatch_count == 0 and max_abs_diff == 0 at every step (0 mismatches over an estimated 147,379,363 active response tokens).
  • G10: all 200 steps have nonzero mismatch, as expected for the production P/P comparison. Per-step mismatch_count: median 2,040.76, p95 3,858.31, max 4,758.01. Per-step max_abs_diff: median 0.9783, p95 1.3156, max 1.5915 at step 158. Estimated token-level agreement is 58.58% (58,230,217 mismatches over 140,601,694 active response tokens).

Metric definitions: rollout tokens/GPU/s = mean response tokens × 128 / (rollout seconds × 8 GPUs); longest-sample throughput = maximum response tokens / rollout seconds. All required fields were finite for all 200 paired steps; no imputation or row deletion was used. The logged rollout-stage rollout/kl was zero in both arms, while the reference-model train/kl_loss is reported separately above.
