From 0c66a63fb8d545d6a151d60d6db4ef6bd35cd683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:37:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix: increased curiosity stack to 16KB + monitoring sync guard + atom scaling MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 1. Curiosity kernel stack: 8KB → 16KB (3KB needed + call frame headroom) 2. Training kernel stack: 64KB (46KB needed for DIST_SIZE arrays) 3. Monitoring sync guard: catches async monitoring kernel crashes 4. Dynamic C51 atoms: 11 on <8GB, 21 on <16GB, 51 on >=16GB 5. Event tracking disabled in GpuDqnTrainer for CUDA Graph compat 6. Debug traces in training loop (temporary, for deadlock diagnosis) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) --- .../cuda_pipeline/gpu_curiosity_trainer.rs | 6 ++++-- .../src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs | 21 ++++++++++++++++--- crates/ml/tests/smoke_test_real_data.rs | 8 +++---- 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_curiosity_trainer.rs b/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_curiosity_trainer.rs index 213adb390..3288049c0 100644 --- a/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_curiosity_trainer.rs +++ b/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_curiosity_trainer.rs @@ -184,10 +184,12 @@ impl GpuCuriosityTrainer { // → stream poisoned → deadlock at next synchronize().
