From 28475ff3ecbcee7e49a1c98918aafb61fd2affea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 02:07:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Ensemble multi-head Q-network with KL diversity loss (Task 5) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds K independent value/advantage head weight sets sharing a common DQN trunk. Provides uncertainty estimation (Q-value variance across heads) and diversity regularization (KL divergence between head distributions). Architecture: - Head 0 stays inside CUDA Graph (zero overhead for ensemble_count=1 default) - Heads 1..K-1 run outside CUDA Graph using post-graph save_h_s2 activations - DtoD clone of head weights at init with stream-sync; diversity grows over training - Pairwise KL uses symmetrized Jensen–Shannon divergence for numerical stability New files: - ensemble_kernels.cu: two NVRTC kernels — ensemble_aggregate_kernel (mean/var Q-values across K heads) and ensemble_diversity_kernel (hierarchical warp→block reduction matching dqn_grad_norm_kernel pattern, no flat atomicAdd) - compile_ensemble_kernels() function in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs - New GpuDqnTrainer accessors: on_v_logits_buf(), tg_h_v_scratch_ptr() FusedTrainingCtx changes: - ensemble_extra_heads: Vec<(DuelingWeightSet, BranchingWeightSet)> - Pre-allocated GPU buffers (logits, mean_q, var_q, diversity_loss) - run_ensemble_step() method runs after CUDA Graph replay (EventTrackingGuard) - Wired in run_full_step() between IQN PER step and spectral norm step Config: ensemble_count=1 (default, zero overhead), ensemble_diversity_weight=0.01 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) --- .../ml/src/cuda_pipeline/ensemble_kernels.cu | 152 +++++++ .../ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs | 49 +++ crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/fused_training.rs | 404 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 605 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/ensemble_kernels.cu diff --git a/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/ensemble_kernels.cu b/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/ensemble_kernels.cu new file mode 100644 index 000000000..5ddcacd3a --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/ensemble_kernels.cu @@ -0,0 +1,152 @@ +/** + * Ensemble Q-Network kernels — aggregate and diversity loss. + * + * Two kernels for ensemble training with K independent value/advantage head + * weight sets sharing a common DQN trunk: + * + * 1. ensemble_aggregate_kernel — compute mean and variance of Q-values across + * K heads (uncertainty estimation). + * + * 2. ensemble_diversity_kernel — pairwise KL divergence between softmax + * distributions of C51 head logits (diversity regularization). + * Uses warp-level → block-level → atomicAdd-per-block hierarchical reduction + * matching the pattern in dqn_grad_norm_kernel. + * + * No #include of common_device_functions.cuh is needed here — the build + * function in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs prepends it via string concatenation. + */ + +/* ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ + * KERNEL 1: ENSEMBLE Q-VALUE AGGREGATION + * + * Computes mean and variance of Q-values from K independent heads. + * + * Input layout: head_q_values[K * B * num_actions] — head k starts at + * offset k * B * num_actions (column-major head ordering). + * + * Launch config: grid=(ceil(B*num_actions/256), 1, 1), block=(256, 1, 1). + * ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ */ +extern "C" __global__ void ensemble_aggregate_kernel( + const float* __restrict__ head_q_values, /* [K * B * num_actions] flat */ + float* __restrict__ mean_q, /* [B * num_actions] output: mean */ + float* __restrict__ var_q, /* [B * num_actions] output: variance */ + int K, + int B, + int num_actions +) { + int idx = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x; + int total = B * num_actions; + if (idx >= total) return; + + float sum = 0.0f, sum_sq = 0.0f; + for (int k = 0; k < K; k++) { + float q = head_q_values[(long long)k * total + idx]; + sum += q; + sum_sq += q * q; + } + float mean = sum / (float)K; + mean_q[idx] = mean; + /* Var = E[X^2] - E[X]^2, clamped to 0 for numerical stability */ + float v = sum_sq / (float)K - mean * mean; + var_q[idx] = (v > 0.0f) ? v : 0.0f; +} + +/* ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ + * KERNEL 2: ENSEMBLE DIVERSITY LOSS (KL DIVERGENCE) + * + * Computes pairwise KL divergence between softmax distributions of K heads' + * C51 value logits.
