From db65eb56a50a03ebd7a6e1f4f705955f540b78c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 20:02:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?perf(gpu):=20eliminate=20GPU=E2=86=92CPU=20sync?= =?UTF-8?q?=20barriers=20from=20training=20hot=20path?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit clip_grad_norm: accumulate squared norms on GPU-resident scalar, single to_scalar() at end (was 16-20 per-param syncs per step × 2917 steps/epoch). check_gradients_finite: same GPU-accumulation pattern, single sync. gpu_replay_buffer sample_proportional/rank_based: generate random targets via rand(0,1)*total_sum on GPU, normalize weights via broadcast_div (eliminates 2 to_vec0 syncs per sample call). gpu_replay_buffer update_priorities_gpu: replace CPU loop of 50 individual slice_scatter calls with single batched index_add delta trick. dqn NaN detection (every 500 steps): accumulate 3 NaN counts on GPU, single to_scalar for total; detailed breakdown only if NaN found. dqn dead neuron detection (every 1000 steps): accumulate dead count on GPU-resident scalar (was to_vec0 per parameter tensor, ~16-20 syncs). Net: ~22 GPU→CPU syncs + 50 micro-kernels per training step → 2 syncs.
