The CI CUDA toolkit's ptxas fails on TMA instructions (cp.async.bulk)
with "completion_mechanism modifier required". Prepend #define DISABLE_TMA 1
in compile_ptx_for_device() so ALL kernel compilations (experience collector,
backtest evaluator, PPO collector, curiosity trainer, action selector) use
the float4 cooperative load fallback instead of TMA.

nvcc now produces cubin (native SASS) with -cubin -arch=sm_XX instead of
PTX with -ptx -arch=compute_XX. cuModuleLoad() loads SASS directly — zero
driver JIT. TMA instructions (cp.async.bulk on sm_90+) work natively because
nvcc handles them during offline compilation. Removed TMA fallback from
experience collector (double-compile + 15s retry overhead eliminated).

Cast all Tensor::full() / Tensor::from_vec() call sites to training_dtype
instead of defaulting to F32. Fixes dtype mismatch errors (BF16 vs F32)
in PPO training on CUDA:
- tensor_ops: scalar_mul, clamp, normalize match operand dtype
- trajectories: TrajectoryBatch/MiniBatch to_tensors cast to training dtype
- continuous_ppo: ContinuousTrajectoryBatch/MiniBatch to_tensors cast
- adaptive_entropy: cast entropy to F32 for alpha multiplication boundary
- continuous_policy: forward() input cast, Tensor::full scalars match dtype
- flow_policy: sample_base_noise cast to training dtype
- hidden_state_manager: reset tensors use training_dtype
- ensemble/ppo adapter: predict input cast to training dtype
- trainable_adapter: test uses training_dtype instead of hardcoded F32
Verified: 198/198 ml-ppo tests pass, 63/63 ml PPO tests pass.

- backtest_forward_kernel: dim_overrides must precede common_device_functions.cuh

defined before inclusion. Experience collector already had correct ordering.
- Cap MAX_EPISODES from 8192→4096 (diminishing returns above 4096, wastes walltime)
- Cap trainer .min() from 0x8000 (32768) → 4096 to match

Fix BF16/F32 dtype mismatch in PpoStrategy and PpoLstmStrategy
validation adapters. Tensor::from_vec(Vec<f32>) creates F32 tensors,
but PPO networks use BF16 weights on H100. Cast state_tensor to
training_dtype() at the boundary before passing to network forward.
Fixes 4 ppo-lib failures on H100:
- test_ppo_strategy_train_and_evaluate
- test_ppo_strategy_reset
- test_ppo_lstm_strategy_train_and_evaluate
- test_ppo_lstm_strategy_reset

20 epochs × 64 episodes × 200 timesteps = ~62 min per test on H100
with GPU experience collector enabled. Reduce to 10 epochs (~31 min)
to leave headroom for the remaining test suites within the 120-min
workflow deadline. Assertions remain equivalent (5% loss reduction,
Q-value divergence, checkpoint round-trip, walk-forward validation).

The epsilon assertion expected <0.01 (epsilon=0.0 with noisy nets), but
the codebase evolved: noisy_epsilon_floor (0.05) now provides a minimum
exploration rate to prevent action collapse while NoisyNets handle the
primary learned exploration. Updated assertions to match: epsilon < 0.10.
Also reduced pipeline test epochs (10→5, 20→10) to prevent GPU timeout
when 5 concurrent DQN trainers share one H100.

DefaultHasher (SipHash) uses random per-process keys — the PTX cache
would never hit across separate cargo test runs. Switch to SHA-256
(deterministic) so cached PTX persists on the PVC across CI runs.
Also extend activeDeadlineSeconds from 90min to 120min to accommodate
the one-time cold-start NVRTC compilation (30+ min for the fused
experience collector kernel).

The fused DQN experience collector kernel (4490 lines: branching +
C51 + NoisyNets + fill sim + DSR + N-step) takes 30+ minutes to
compile via NVRTC on H100. This adds a PTX disk cache keyed by
SHA-256(arch, source) in $CARGO_TARGET_DIR/.ptx_cache/ (CI PVC).
Cold start pays the NVRTC cost once; all subsequent runs with
identical source + dimensions load cached PTX in <100ms.
Cache invalidates automatically when kernel source or network
dimensions change (different hash → cache miss → recompile).

The fused NVRTC kernel (branching+C51+NoisyNets+DSR+fill-sim) takes
30+ min to compile at runtime on H100, causing CI tests to hit the

experience collector is validated by lib tests (gpu_residency).

The stability penalty (15% of PSO objective) was dead weight:
- Gradient norm threshold of 20,000 NEVER fires because gradient
clipping is at 10.0 and avg raw grad norms are typically 5-50.
- Q-value std threshold of 100 rarely fires with DSR and v_range=[10,50].
Fix: log-scale ramp for gradient (threshold=50, cap=3.0) gives smooth
PSO gradient across the 50→5000 range where clip engagement indicates
instability. Linear ramp for Q-std (threshold=15, cap=3.0).
Also: delete unused smooth_transition() + calculate_exponential_sharpe_incentive()
(-160 lines dead code), fix stale docstring on HFT activity fn args.

MARKET_DIM was set to feature_dim (50 with OFI) but semantically means
raw market feature count (42). The forward kernel doesn't use MARKET_DIM
directly, but the common header requires it. Subtract ofi_dim to get
the correct value: 50 - 8 = 42.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The OFI backtest path used a Candle narrow+cat closure for state
permutation: [market, OFI, portfolio, pad] → [market, portfolio, OFI, pad].
This was the LAST remaining Candle dispatch in the GPU backtest hot path,
causing per-step tensor allocations and Python-like dispatch overhead.
Fix: added ofi_dim parameter to gather_states kernel. When ofi_dim > 0,
the kernel writes [market, portfolio, OFI, pad] directly — zero extra
copies, zero Candle overhead. Both OFI and non-OFI paths now use
evaluate_dqn_graphed() (pure-CUDA forward + CUDA Graph acceleration).
The DQN hyperopt adapter sets ofi_dim=8 when OFI features are detected.
Other callers (PPO, signal adapter) inherit ofi_dim=0 from Default.
Net result: entire GPU backtest evaluation is now Candle-free.

unique_actions was hardcoded to 5 in the GPU backtest path, making the
diversity penalty (0.8 max weight) always return 0.0 — another dead
objective component. CPU backtest path correctly computed it via HashSet.
Added 5-bit bitmask OR-reduction: each thread sets bit(action_id) during
the existing per-step loop, then a single OR-reduction across the block
produces the union. __popc() gives unique count in one PTX instruction.
Memory efficiency: reuses s_sorted shared memory (sequential staging —
OR-reduction completes before bitonic sort overwrites it). No extra
shared memory arrays needed. Output expanded from 13→14 floats/window.
Combined with the previous commit, this restores gradient signal for
100% of the multi-objective function: composite (60%), HFT activity
(25%), stability (15%), and diversity penalty (soft signal).

The metrics CUDA kernel already iterated over actions_history for trade
counting but never counted buy/sell/hold distribution. evaluate_gpu()
hardcoded all three to 0.0, making calculate_hft_activity_score_wave10()
return a constant -5.0 for every trial — PSO searched blind for 25% of
the objective space.
Kernel: 3 new shared-memory reduction arrays (s_buys/s_sells/s_holds),
action counting in existing per-step loop (0,1→sell, 2→hold, 3,4→buy),
output expanded from 10→13 floats/window. Zero extra kernel launches,
zero extra GPU→CPU transfers (piggybacks on existing memcpy_dtoh).
Shared memory: 25 KB (was 22 KB) — well within H100 228 KB/SM limit.

Replace closure-based evaluate() with evaluate_dqn_graphed() for non-OFI
walk-forward backtest path. Extracts DuelingWeightSet from VarMap (branching

kernel with CUDA Graph capture — zero Candle dispatch overhead per step.
Key changes:
- GpuBacktestEvaluator::stream() getter for weight extraction on eval stream
- DQNAgentType::is_using_branching() / network_dims() for CUDA kernel config
- Hyperopt evaluate_gpu() non-OFI path: extract_dueling_weights_branching()
→ evaluate_dqn_graphed() (CUDA Graph accelerated)
- OFI path: retains Candle closure for state permutation (gather kernel
layout mismatch — future CUDA permutation kernel)

Eliminate all CPU fallback paths in the PPO trainer, PPO hyperopt
adapter, and DQN hyperopt adapter. On H100, every GPU operation must
succeed or abort — silent CPU fallback runs at 1/10th throughput and
produces stale/inconsistent results.
PPO trainer (5 sites):
- GPU unavailable → hard error (was warn + CPU fallback)
- Collector init, episode reset, collection, weight sync → hard errors
- Test updated: GPU batch limit test expects error without CUDA
PPO hyperopt adapter (8 sites):
- ensure_gpu_data() now returns Result<(), MLError>
- Features/targets upload, collector init, weight sync → hard errors
- gpu_collect_trajectories() now returns Result<TrajectoryBatch>
- Experience collection caller uses ? instead of Option fallback
- GPU backtest failure → hard error
DQN hyperopt adapter (3 sites):
- CUDA synchronize between trials → hard error
- GPU backtest None on CUDA → hard error (upstream of extract_objective)
- extract_objective: panic! on CUDA build if backtest_metrics is None
- CPU backtest path guarded by #[cfg(not(feature = "cuda"))]
continuous_ppo.rs (1 site):
- clip_grads passed &Device::Cpu instead of actor's actual device
- Forces CPU roundtrip for gradient norm computation on every mini-batch
- Fixed: passes `device` (from self.actor.device()) — stays GPU-resident
gpu_experience_collector.rs (1 site):
- cuCtxSetLimit(STACK_SIZE) failure: warn → hard error
- 16KB stack is required — kernel segfaults without it

CPU fallbacks in the GPU training hot path silently degraded to
slow-path execution without any signal to the operator. Convert all
warn!/debug! fallback patterns to return Err(anyhow::anyhow!(...)) so
training fails loudly instead of running on CPU at 1/10th throughput.
Sites hardened: OFI upload, data pre-upload, targets/features CUDA
upload, portfolio sim init/run, episode reset, train step (2 sites),
online/target weight sync, branching head sync (2 sites), RMSNorm
sync (2 sites), action selector init (2 sites), training guard init.

GPU experience kernel was zero-padding OFI features (state[45..53]),

- Add ofi_val_offset field to track training data length for OFI indexing
- compute_validation_loss() now passes OFI index to validation states

NVRTC does not include <stdint.h> so uint64_t is undefined. The TMA
mbarrier shared variable was causing 5 compilation errors on the H100
(identifier "uint64_t" is undefined, asm operand must have scalar
type). Using the native CUDA type unsigned long long (also 64-bit)
resolves the issue without needing any NVRTC headers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
These dimensions MUST be injected via NVRTC dim_overrides (which always
happens in gpu_experience_collector.rs). Having fallback #ifndef defaults
(48/42/3) masked bugs when source concatenation order was wrong and is
misleading since STATE_DIM varies (48 without OFI, 56 with OFI). Now
a missing dim_override triggers a compile-time #error instead of
silently using a stale default.

The exact f64 equality check was failing intermittently due to

Previously hardcoded state_dim=48 in both VRAM gates (bounds
computation and per-trial check). With OFI features enabled (the
production path), aligned state_dim is 56, causing VRAM estimates to
be ~17% too low. Trials that should be pruned could pass and OOM.
- Per-trial VRAM check: uses self.mbp10_data_dir to select 56 or 48
- Bounds computation (static fn): uses worst-case 56 (safe for all)

The hyperopt binary was crashing with "trials (5) must be greater than
n_initial (5)" when --trials 0 was passed. Root cause: the bump logic
set trials = n_initial instead of max(5, n_initial + 1).
Fix: both hyperopt_baseline_rl and hyperopt_baseline_supervised now clamp
trials to max(5, n_initial + 1). Also add `when` condition to the
compile-and-train DAG so hyperopt step is skipped when trials=0, and
train-best gracefully handles missing hyperopt results.

When trials=0 (or any value <= n_initial), both RL and supervised
hyperopt binaries now auto-bump to n_initial+1 instead of bailing.
Previously the RL binary bumped to 5 which equalled n_initial=5,
triggering "trials must be greater than n_initial" error. The
supervised binary lacked the bump entirely and just crashed.

Both walk-forward and full-training data loading paths now use rayon
par_iter to parse MBP-10 .dbn files concurrently. Previously 9 files

parallelized. Removed dead collect_dbn_files helper (superseded by
collect_dbn_files_recursive at module scope).

Three root causes of CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_PTX on H100 addressed:
1. TMA busy-wait label: cooperative_load_tile_tma used a named PTX label
(TMA_WAIT:) in a __forceinline__ function inlined at ~28 call sites,
producing duplicate labels in the same PTX function. Replaced with a
C while loop + selp.b32 to extract the try_wait predicate — no PTX
labels emitted.
2. mbarrier wait scope: only thread 0 waited for TMA completion while
lanes 1-31 skipped the entire function body. Now all 32 lanes
participate in mbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire, with __syncwarp()
fences before and after to handle Hopper independent thread scheduling.
3. Dead per-thread functions: q_forward_dueling, q_forward_branching,
q_forward_distributional, q_forward_dueling_noisy, and their _shmem
variants were compiled into sm_90 PTX despite never being called by
the warp kernel. q_forward_distributional alone allocates 600 floats
(2.4KB) per thread. Guarded all three groups with
#if __CUDA_ARCH__ < 900 to eliminate ~7KB dead stack from PTX.
Also: removed NUM_ATOMS_MAX=51 cap (no longer needed since distributional
per-thread function is excluded), moved dim_overrides before common_src
to avoid NVRTC macro redefinition warnings.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove hardcoded cap of NUM_ATOMS_MAX=51 on sm_90+. Now that TMA uses
proper mbarrier sync, the INVALID_PTX was caused by wrong instructions,
not kernel size. Hyperparams control atom count directly.
- Fix NVRTC source concatenation order: dim_overrides now comes BEFORE
common_src and kernel_src so the #ifndef guards in .cuh/.cu files
properly skip defaults. Previously overrides came after, causing
macro redefinition warnings.
- Make PORTFOLIO_DIM dynamic (was hardcoded "3" in format string).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The TMA inline PTX had three invalid instructions causing
CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_PTX at driver JIT time on sm_90 (H100):
1. cp.async.bulk missing required 4th mbarrier operand
2. cp.async.bulk.commit_group — does not exist in any PTX ISA
3. cp.async.bulk.wait_group — does not exist in any PTX ISA
These confused two different CUDA instruction families:
- cp.async (Ampere, uses commit_group/wait_group, 16B per op)
- cp.async.bulk (Hopper TMA, uses mbarrier, up to 256KB per op)
Fix: rewrite cooperative_load_tile_tma() with correct Hopper protocol:
mbarrier.init → mbarrier.arrive.expect_tx → cp.async.bulk [mbar] →
mbarrier.try_wait.parity
Also adds 16-byte alignment guard (cp.async.bulk requires size % 16 == 0)
with float4 fallback for unaligned bias tiles (e.g. NUM_ACTIONS=5 → 20B).
Retains DISABLE_TMA retry in gpu_experience_collector as safety net.
