From a22e6420b64f792f7a008c8f9beef82a58ce3555 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 22:39:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?perf(cuda):=20Wave=204=20=E2=80=94=20CUDA=20Gra?= =?UTF-8?q?ph=20capture=20for=20evaluate=5Fdqn=5Fgraphed()?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Capture the full DQN backtest step loop (gather → forward → DtoD → env_step × max_len) as a replayable CUDA Graph: - evaluate_dqn_graphed(): captures on first call via CudaStream::begin_capture/end_capture, replays cached graph on subsequent calls. Falls back to evaluate_dqn() on any failure. - invalidate_dqn_graph(): discards cached graph when weights change. - SendSyncGraph: newtype wrapper for CudaGraph (single-threaded use). - Full unrolled capture: each step's step_i32 argument is baked in at capture time, avoiding GPU-resident step counter complexity. Eliminates ~5-10μs per kernel launch × 4 kernels × max_len steps of CUDA driver overhead per evaluation. evaluate_baseline.rs: added --cuda-graphs CLI flag to opt in. 14 backtest evaluator tests pass, 0 clippy errors.
