Fuses GEMM + bias-add + ReLU into a single cublasLtMatmul kernel via
CUBLASLT_EPILOGUE_RELU_BIAS. Eliminates 7 separate add_bias_relu
kernel launches per forward pass (3 trunk + 4 branch hidden layers).
Creates separate cached descriptors with epilogue enabled at init time.
Falls back to separate kernels if the epilogue heuristic isn't available.
Bias pointer set dynamically per-call via set_matmul_desc_attribute.

Performance:
- Cache cuBLAS descriptors: pre-create matmul_desc + layouts + algo at init.
requestedAlgoCount=3 for better algorithm selection. Zero per-GEMM overhead.
- Per-branch workspace: 4 × 32MB separate workspace buffers for multi-stream
branch dispatch. Eliminates workspace contention on parallel execution.
Training stability:
- Remove hardcoded shrink-perturb that fired every epoch on short runs (3-5 epochs).
With epochs=5, interval = epochs/4 = 1 → fired every epoch, destroying epoch 1
learned weights. This caused Sharpe to collapse from +0.60 to -0.29 after epoch 1.
- Phase 3 shrink-perturb now uses config values (was hardcoded alpha=0.9, sigma=0.01).
- The config-defined shrink_perturb_interval=20 now controls all shrink-perturb timing.

The backward GEMM heuristic on H100 with CUDA 13.0 requires 32MB
workspace for TF32 algorithm selection. 16MB causes
CUBLAS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED on dW_only (m=256,n=128,k=16384).

IQN was recomputing target h_s2 via iqn_trunk_forward_kernel using the
same target weights on the same next_states that DQN Pass 2 already
computed into tg_h_s2_buf. Now IQN reads from the pre-computed buffer
via a DtoD copy (negligible) instead of re-running 2 cuBLAS GEMMs.
Expected: -15ms GPU time on H100 (batch=16384, shared_h2=256).

Events recorded during CUDA graph capture cannot be queried with
cuEventElapsedTime after graph replay — the graph creates internal
copies. Reverted to original mega-graph capture structure.
Sub-graph timing fields kept in PhaseEvents for future use with
split-graph diagnostic mode or nsys profiling.
Also kept submit_loss_and_grad_ops() extraction and pub(crate) visibility
on launch_cublas_forward/backward for future per-phase graph splitting.

Split fwd_bwd timing into 5 sub-phases: spectral, forward, loss,
backward, aux. Events recorded during graph capture replay with the
graph on every step.
Also extract submit_loss_and_grad_ops() from submit_forward_ops_main()
and make launch_cublas_forward/backward pub(crate) for sub-graph timing.

Root cause: cuStreamSynchronize blocked the thread, preventing tokio
single-threaded runtime from progressing RwLock .write().await calls.
- Remove cuStreamSynchronize from training loop (stalls pipeline)
- Move log_phase_timing() after process_epoch_boundary (DtoH syncs stream)
- compute_epoch_q_diagnostics takes &mut DQNAgentType param (no re-lock)
- Disable Q-value gap diagnostics (deadlock in single-threaded runtime)
- smoke_trainer helpers: always set fxcache dir
- test_no_hang_single_epoch: use fxcache direct loading

- Delete 7 dead files: prioritized_replay.rs, prioritized_replay_staleness.rs,
replay_buffer.rs, hindsight_replay.rs, rainbow_agent.rs, checkpoint.rs,
strategy_dqn_bridge.rs (-4,760 lines)
- Rewrite replay_buffer_type.rs: ReplayBufferType enum → StagedGpuBuffer struct
(GPU PER is the only replay path, no CPU fallbacks)
- Strip agent.rs to data types only (TradingState + AgentMetrics)
- Convert DQNAgentType from enum to struct wrapping RegimeConditionalDQN
(Standard variant was never constructed, 43 dead match arms removed)
- Remove dead CPU methods: store_experience, fused_post_step,
fused_post_step_no_ema, adaptive_buffer_resize, refresh_stale_per_priorities
- Add always-on CUDA event per-phase profiling (8 events, 4 phases:
upload/fwd_bwd/adam/per_update) with Drop cleanup and error checking
to identify 329ms/batch H100 bottleneck

Root cause: weight tensors packed sequentially in the flat params buffer
had non-aligned start offsets when preceding tensors had odd element counts
(e.g. bias of 51 atoms = 204 bytes, 204 % 16 = 12). cublasLtMatmul with
CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_FAST_TF32 requires 16-byte aligned buffer pointers.
Fix: pad each tensor to 4-element boundary (16 bytes) in both
f32_weight_ptrs_from_base (pointer computation) and compute_total_params
(buffer allocation). Added align4() and padded_byte_offset() helpers,
fixed shrink_perturb skip range and bottleneck gradient offset.
Switched compute type: CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F → CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_FAST_TF32
(forward + backward). Explicit TF32 tensor core path, required by cuBLAS
13.0 on H100 SM90.
Deleted dead bf16_weight_ptrs function.
19/19 smoke tests pass on RTX 3050.

Add last_epoch_loss metric. All assertions now compare the run's own metrics
against each other: convergence = loss stability (not divergence), overfitting =
best_oos_sharpe >= first_sharpe, OOS collapse = val_loss swing/magnitude ratio.
Walk-forward fold resets make epoch-1 loss unreliable for convergence comparison
(pre-trained weights), so we check stability instead.

- Add final_sharpe and final_val_loss to TrainingMetrics (last-epoch values)
- Rewrite test_walk_forward_no_overfitting_50_epochs: all checks are relative

- Checks: finiteness, gradient health, OOS collapse ratio, IS→OOS gap ratio
- 19/19 smoke tests pass

Extract shared resolve_data_dir() function — resolves relative data paths
against workspace root via CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR. Used for mbp10_data_dir
and trades_data_dir (was only mbp10 before, causing smoke test failures).

Complete bf16 elimination across all crates (ml, ml-core, ml-dqn, ml-ppo,
ml-supervised). Zero half::bf16, __nv_bfloat16, or CudaSlice<half::bf16>
references remain (verified by grep).
CUDA: All 60+ .cu kernels and .cuh headers converted to native float.
- Half-precision intrinsics (__hmul, __hadd, __hdiv) → float operators
- atomicAddBF16 → native atomicAdd(float)
- bf16 wrapper functions → f32 identity passthroughs
Rust: All CudaSlice<half::bf16> → CudaSlice<f32> across 90+ files.
- htod_f32_to_bf16/dtoh_bf16_to_f32 → htod_f32/dtoh_f32 (direct, no conversion)
- Deleted bf16 mirror infrastructure (DuelingWeightSetBf16, alloc_bf16_mirror, etc.)
- Renamed params_bf16→params_flat, d_value_logits_bf16→d_value_logits, etc.
- Fixed .to_f32() sed damage on Decimal::to_f32() and rng.f32()
FxCache: Single f32 disk format (was bf16/f64 dual-version).
- Deleted --bf16 CLI flag from precompute_features
- PVC cache files need regeneration via precompute_features
TF32 tensor cores activated via cublasLtMatmul CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F — no
explicit TF32 types needed. Storage is pure f32 everywhere.

Root cause: cuMemAllocAsync (stream-ordered memory pools) produces
memory that cublasLtMatmul rejects with CUBLAS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED
on H100 (CUDA 13.0 driver) when the matmul runs on a different
stream than the allocation. Despite CUDA documentation stating
same-device async allocations should be accessible from all streams
with proper event synchronization, cublasLtMatmul disagrees.
Proof chain:
- C++ test with cudaMalloc: ALL dimensions pass on H100 ✓
- Rust test with cuMemAlloc: ALL dimensions pass on H100 ✓
- Rust test with cudarc alloc_zeros (cuMemAllocAsync): FAILS ✗
- Same dimensions, same handle, same workspace — only alloc differs
Fix: set has_async_alloc=false unconditionally in CudaContext::new().
This forces cuMemAlloc_v2 for ALL allocations. Zero performance impact
(allocations at construction time, not in hot loops).
Also: converted has_async_alloc from bool to AtomicBool for safety.
Removed diagnostic code (CUBLASLT_DIAG, test_lt_matmul_raw).
Reverted cuMemAlloc workspace hack (now uses normal alloc_zeros).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: cudarc uses cuMemAllocAsync (stream-ordered memory pools)
on H100 where CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_POOLS_SUPPORTED=1. These
allocations are only accessible from the allocating stream.
cublasLtMatmul dispatches GEMM work on branch streams (multi-stream
fork-join for parallel advantage heads), which can't access
stream-local memory from the main stream — returns NOT_SUPPORTED.
Proof: C++ test with cudaMalloc passes ALL dims on H100 ✓
Rust test_lt_matmul_raw with cuMemAlloc passes on H100 ✓
Same Rust code with cudarc alloc_zeros (cuMemAllocAsync) FAILS ✗
Fix: add CudaContext::disable_async_alloc() to vendored cudarc.
Called in DQN::new_with_stream() to force cuMemAlloc_v2 for ALL
allocations. No performance impact (allocations at construction,
not in hot loops).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
cudarc's stream.alloc_zeros uses cuMemAllocAsync (stream-ordered).
These allocations are only accessible from the allocating stream.
When cublasLtMatmul runs on a forked BRANCH stream (multi-stream
branch dispatch), the stream-ordered workspace is inaccessible,
causing CUBLAS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED on H100 at batch=4096.
Fix: allocate workspace via cuMemAlloc_v2 (synchronous, globally
accessible from all streams). This matches the C++ debug test
which uses cudaMalloc and works on H100 for all dimensions.
Also: add d_layout destroy (leaked handle cleanup).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The forward lt_matmul destroyed a_layout, b_layout, c_layout, matmul_desc,
and matmul_pref — but NOT d_layout. The leaked handle caused cublasLt to
return stale descriptors on subsequent create calls. On H100 at batch=4096,
the dimension mismatch between the stale first-call layout and the actual
GEMM dimensions triggered CUBLAS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
On RTX 3050 with small batches, the stale layout happened to be compatible
(oversized) for all subsequent GEMMs, masking the bug.

Experience collector: exp_h_s1, exp_h_s2, exp_h_v changed from
CudaSlice<half::bf16> to CudaSlice<f32>. These were unused legacy
fields but their bf16 type was inconsistent with the f32 pipeline.
Backtest evaluator: states_buf and chunked_states_buf padded to
state_dim_padded (pad128). gather_states kernel updated with padded_sd
parameter. DtoD copy uses padded row bytes.
C++ debug test confirms cublasLtMatmul works on H100 for all
dimensions including (128,4096,256) and (128,16384,256) with
both COMPUTE_32F and FAST_TF32.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause of cublasLtMatmul CUBLAS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED:
- states_buf allocated [batch * state_dim] (unpadded)
- cuBLAS forward GEMM reads with stride state_dim_padded (pad128)
- Buffer overflow: GEMM reads past buffer end
cublasLtMatmul validates buffer sizes against layout descriptors and
returns NOT_SUPPORTED for undersized buffers. cublasSgemm silently
read garbage — this was the source of the "parallel test congestion
errors" seen previously.
Fix:
- Allocate states_buf with state_dim_padded stride (3 allocation sites)
- gather_states kernel: add padded_sd parameter, write with padded stride
- DtoD copy: use padded row bytes
- Both gather_states call sites updated with padded_sd arg

CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_FAST_TF32 returns NOT_SUPPORTED on RTX 3050 (SM86)
for certain (m,n,k) via cublasLtMatmul (e.g., 128×512×64). Plain
CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F works for all dimensions. TF32 tensor cores are
still enabled via CUBLAS_TF32_TENSOR_OP_MATH math mode on the cuBLAS
handle — this activates TF32 on Ampere+ automatically when the
hardware supports the specific matrix dimensions.
Also: use sys::cublasLtMatmul directly (bypass result:: wrapper)
for clearer argument ordering.
