From 2feeeda8bb5dc9863aa3427d72399c861b79aee1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 22:20:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(phase-e-4-a):=20GPU=20kernel=20for=20h=5Fen?= =?UTF-8?q?riched=20slot=20copy=20=E2=80=94=20eliminate=20per-step=20CPU?= =?UTF-8?q?=20roundtrip?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Phase E.4.A T8 wiring stored Mamba2's per-step cache.h_enriched into h_enriched_buf_dev via a dtoh+htod sequence: let h_host = stream.clone_dtoh(cache.h_enriched.cuda_data())?; let mut buf_host = stream.clone_dtoh(&h_enriched_buf_dev)?; // <- whole buffer for j in 0..hidden_dim { buf_host[slot_offset + j] = h_host[j]; } stream.memcpy_htod(&buf_host, &mut h_enriched_buf_dev)?; // <- whole buffer This violates feedback_cpu_is_read_only AND feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned. Worse, the buffer-wide dtoh+htod every step is ~20K floats × 600 steps × 500 eps × 30 cells = ~9M roundtrips totaling significant PCIe latency in the backtest. Fix: new tiny CUDA kernel alpha_h_enriched_store_kernel in alpha_window_push.cu (one thread per hidden-dim feature, writes src[j] → buf[slot_offset + j]). Replaces the dtoh/htod sequence in both smoke and backtest binaries. Estimated speed-up at backtest scale: 3-6× on the temporal eval path. Pure-GPU per-step inference restored — no synchronisation points on the hot path. docs/isv-slots.md updated per kernel-audit-doc hook.
