Created config/gpu/{default,rtx3050,h100,a100}.toml with all GPU-specific
parameters: batch_size, num_atoms, buffer_size, hidden_dim_base,
replay_buffer_vram_fraction, gpu_n_episodes, gpu_timesteps_per_episode,
cuda_stack_bytes.
GpuProfile::load() auto-detects GPU by device name, falls back to
embedded defaults (include_str!). Override via FOXHUNT_GPU_PROFILE env.
Removed dead code:
- detect_vram_mb(), vram_scaled_hidden_dims(), vram_scaled_base_dim(),
resolve_hidden_dim_base() + 18 tests for these functions
All callers updated: train_baseline_rl, DQNTrainer constructor,
PPO trainer, smoke tests, pipeline tests.

Based on kernel deep dive: 1.56% occupancy on H100 from 1-warp/sample
architecture, 46KB stack spill, 47 kernel launches per step.
7 tasks: cuBLAS forward, batched backward, fuse BF16/EMA, multi-block
prefix sum, C51 loss kernel, H100 profiling.

Replace scattered VRAM-based if/else chains with a declarative TOML profile
system. GPU profiles (rtx3050, a100, h100, default) are selected by device
name and embedded at compile time via include_str! for zero-filesystem
fallback in CI/containers, with filesystem and env var overrides.

- DQN CLI --max-steps-per-epoch was only wired to PPO (bug: 1394 steps ran instead of 10)
- Added per-substep timing: sample/fused/guard breakdown per epoch
- Phase 1a results: PER sampling now 0.1ms/step (was ~100ms with CPU roundtrips)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Eliminate the 3 CPU roundtrips per sample_proportional() call (called
300x/epoch), which was the #1 performance bottleneck:
1. Replace memcpy_dtoh(cs_total) with DtoD copy to pre-allocated
total_sum_buf — total_sum never leaves GPU
2. Replace CPU rand() + memcpy_htod(thresholds) with GPU-resident
Philox PRNG kernel — thresholds generated directly on device
3. Replace memcpy_htod([0.0], max_weight) with memset_zeros —
async GPU memset, zero host staging
4. is_weights_f32 kernel now reads total_sum from GPU pointer
instead of scalar argument
Pre-allocate 13 PER sampling buffers on the GpuReplayBuffer struct
(thresholds, indices, gathered data, weights, max_weight, total_sum_buf,
rng_step counter). All intermediate computation uses these pre-allocated
buffers. Output GpuBatchSlices are DtoD-cloned for ownership transfer.
Add max_batch_size field to GpuReplayBufferConfig (defaults to 1024).
Delete the cs_total() method entirely.
Net result: zero memcpy_dtoh, zero memcpy_htod, zero CPU synchronization
points in the PER sampling hot path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Change the is_weights_f32 CUDA kernel signature from taking total_sum as
a scalar f32 argument (which requires a CPU readback) to reading it from
a const float* GPU-resident pointer. This eliminates the last memcpy_dtoh
in the PER sampling hot path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Eliminates the CPU roundtrip of memcpy_dtoh(total_sum) -> CPU rand() ->
memcpy_htod(thresholds) by generating all random thresholds directly on
GPU using Philox 4x32-10 counter-based PRNG (Salmon et al., SC 2011).

Spec: 3-phase plan to reduce DQN training epoch from 37s to <5s on H100.
- Phase 1: eliminate 300 CPU roundtrips in PER sampling (GPU Philox RNG)
- Phase 2: increase kernel occupancy (batch_size 512+, cuBLAS profiling)
- Phase 3: pipeline overlap (dual-stream experience/training)
Profiling instrumentation added to training loop (init/experience/training/validation breakdown).
RTX 3050 baseline: training=97.2%, experience=2.3% — PER sampling
with CPU RNG + DtoH sync is the primary bottleneck.

DQN pipeline tests:
- Split dqn-pipeline into per-test cargo invocations in CI (CUDA Graph
capture corrupts async memory pool between sequential tests)
- Drop impl for GpuDqnTrainer: sync stream + destroy graph before buffers
- check_err drains in constructor and after graph capture
TFT fixes:
- forward_loss: reshape output [batch,horizon,quantiles] → [batch,quantiles]
to match target shape (fixes DimensionMismatch {expected:3, actual:3})
- smoke test: accept step=0 for models without backward support
- benchmark: remove hardcoded batch_size≤4 assertion (H100 can be larger)
Cleanup:
- Remove debug eprintln from elementwise.rs
- GPU-native cat bounds check
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CUDA Graph capture disables event tracking, causing cudarc to store
errors via record_err() during device_ptr() calls. These errors block
all subsequent bind_to_thread() calls (which calls check_err first).
Fixes:
- check_err() immediately after re-enabling events post-capture
(clears stale errors on the stream's context)
- check_err() in DQNTrainer constructor (clears errors from previous
trainer instances sharing the same primary CUDA context)
- check_err() at training start (covers multi-test sequential execution)
- GPU-native cat bounds check fix (dst_start + n <= output.len())
- Removed should_use_cuda_graph — always use CUDA Graph
- Removed hacky clear_cuda_context test helper
CUDA Graph + raw post-graph ops work on all GPUs.
4/5 pipeline tests pass locally (5th is flaky due to CUDA primary
context error retention between sequential tests in same process).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: graph capture disables event tracking, but cudarc's
record_err() stores errors from cuStreamWaitEvent on disabled events.
bind_to_thread() calls check_err() and returns the stored error,
blocking ALL subsequent cudarc API calls (launch, sync, memcpy).
Fix:
- check_err() before EMA kernel launch to consume stale errors
- Raw cuStreamSynchronize + cuMemcpyDtoH for post-graph readback
(bypasses bind_to_thread entirely)
- Raw device pointers for EMA kernel args (bypasses device_ptr event wait)
- GPU-native cat bounds check (dst_start + n <= output.len())
- CUDA Graph always enabled (removed should_use_cuda_graph function)
4/5 DQN pipeline tests pass with CUDA Graph on RTX 3050.
5th (epsilon_greedy) passes individually, flaky in sequence.

After CUDA Graph capture (which disables/re-enables event tracking),
CudaSlices modified during capture have stale write events. Any cudarc
API call (memcpy_dtoh, synchronize, launch_builder.arg) on these slices
fails with CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE because cuStreamWaitEvent gets an
invalid event handle.
Fix: use raw CUDA driver calls for ALL post-graph operations:
- cuStreamSynchronize instead of cudarc synchronize() (avoids bind_to_thread)
- cuMemcpyDtoH_v2 via raw_device_ptr for scalar readbacks (2 × 4 bytes)
- raw_device_ptr for EMA kernel args (bypasses device_ptr event wait)
Event tracking remains enabled globally — only the 3 post-graph call sites
use raw driver calls. All other cudarc operations (cat/stack, alloc, etc.)
work normally with event tracking.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
cudarc's synchronize() calls bind_to_thread() which propagates stale
errors from graph capture via the context's error_state. This causes
CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE on the EMA pre-sync after graph replay.
Use raw cuStreamSynchronize for both sync points that follow CUDA Graph:
1. Pre-readback sync (before scalar DtoH)
2. EMA pre-sync (before Polyak target update)
Both are on the same stream as the graph — raw sync is sufficient.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
After CUDA Graph replay with event tracking re-enabled, the total_loss
and grad_norm CudaSlice buffers have stale write events from capture.
cudarc's memcpy_dtoh calls device_ptr() which waits on these stale events,
causing CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE on H100.
Fix: use raw_device_ptr (ManuallyDrop guard) + cuMemcpyDtoH_v2 for the
2 scalar readbacks (8 bytes total — legitimate GPU exit for metrics).
Stream is synchronized before readback, so event ordering is guaranteed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous commit removed disable_event_tracking() from graph capture,
causing CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_INVALIDATED on H100 (events recorded
during capture invalidate the capture).
Fix: disable event tracking BEFORE begin_capture, re-enable AFTER end_capture.
With GPU-native cat/stack (no to_host roundtrip), the re-enable is now safe —
post-capture operations don't call to_host on graph-modified buffers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: GpuTensor::cat() called to_host() on each input tensor,
concatenated on CPU, then from_host() back to GPU. This caused:
1. Race conditions when async GPU work hadn't completed before to_host
2. CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS when event tracking was disabled
3. Massive performance hit (2 DMA transfers per tensor per cat call)
Fix: replace with DtoD memcpy via CudaSlice::slice() views. Both dim=0
(contiguous blocks) and dim>0 (interleaved rows) use GPU-to-GPU copies.
Zero CPU involvement, zero event dependency, zero race conditions.
Also: revert global disable_event_tracking() — was a workaround for the
to_host race, no longer needed with GPU-native cat/stack.
5/5 DQN pipeline tests pass with CUDA Graph enabled on RTX 3050.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both CudaSlice::device_ptr() and CudaView::device_ptr() call
stream.wait(write_event) which fails with CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE
when the write event was recorded during graph capture (event tracking
was disabled). CudaView doesn't help — it borrows the parent's events.
Fix: use raw_device_ptr() (ManuallyDrop guard, skips event wait) +
raw cuMemcpyDtoH_v2 for the 2 scalar readbacks. Stream is synced
before readback, so event ordering is guaranteed by the sync barrier.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Graph capture disables cudarc event tracking, leaving stale write events
on CudaSlice buffers. cudarc's memcpy_dtoh calls device_ptr() which waits
on these stale events, causing CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE on H100.
Fix: read via CudaView (slice(..)) which borrows without triggering the
parent CudaSlice's stale event wait. Stream sync before readback ensures
kernel writes are complete.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CUDA Graph capture disables cudarc event tracking, so device_ptr()
cannot rely on write events for ordering. Without explicit sync,
the DtoH memcpy can get CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE because the
kernel writes haven't completed yet.
Add stream.synchronize() between graph launch and scalar readback.
This ensures kernel output buffers (total_loss, grad_norm) are valid
before the host reads them. The sync cost is negligible — it's
1 sync per training step (already bottlenecked by kernel execution).
Fixes H100 CI failure: all DQN pipeline tests returned
"DtoH grad_norm: CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE" consistently.

Root cause: per_update_priorities_kernel wrote to priorities[idx] without
bounds checking. When idx >= replay buffer capacity (due to corrupt/stale
indices in the GpuBatch), this caused CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS at
4.5GB past the 256-byte allocation.
Fixes:
- Add capacity parameter to per_update_priorities_kernel, bounds-check
idx < capacity before scatter-write
- GpuTrainResult::gpu_tensor_to_cuda_slice: implement via CudaSlice::clone()
(was TODO stub returning hard error)
- Preserve u32 bit-pattern reinterpret cast for PER indices (GpuBatch
stores u32 bits in f32 CudaSlice containers)

- fused_post_step/fused_post_step_no_ema/fused_post_step_gpu_bookkeeping:

- train_baseline_rl: add error chain logging for fold failures

Root cause: dqn_forward_loss_kernel accessed online_log_probs[] out of bounds
when actions buffer contained uninitialized values. The factored action
decomposition (action/9, action%9/3, action%3) produced branch indices > array
size, causing Invalid __local__ read at the current_lp pointer dereference.
Found via compute-sanitizer with -lineinfo: crash at line 612 (current_lp[j]
read with a_d * NUM_ATOMS overflow). All threads in all blocks crashed at the
same offset +0x28d50, confirming systematic OOB rather than race condition.
Fixes:
- Clamp factored_action to [0, BRANCH_0*BRANCH_1*BRANCH_2) in both
forward_loss and backward kernels (safe default: action 0 = hold)
- Use generic branch decomposition (BRANCH_x_SIZE) instead of hardcoded /9 /3
- Disable CUDA Graph on consumer GPUs (< 164KB shmem opt-in)
- Query CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK_OPTIN for shmem limit
- Share query_max_shmem_bytes() between trainer and experience collector
This eliminates CUDA context poisoning between walk-forward folds — fold 1+
can now create new CudaStreams successfully.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Query CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK_OPTIN at runtime
instead of name-based heuristics for shared memory tile sizing
- Cap shmem at 48KB on consumer GPUs (< 164KB hardware max) — A100/H100
with 164KB+ use full opt-in, RTX 3050/4090 use safe 48KB default
- Dynamic C51 atom scaling: <8GB→11, <16GB→21, >=16GB→51 atoms
- Dynamic CUDA stack: 16KB for 11 atoms, 32KB for 21, 64KB for 51
- VRAM-aware GPU experience episodes: 16 episodes on <8GB (was 256)
- Bypass CUDA Graph when shmem > 48KB (direct kernel launch fallback)
- Remove .max(51) on num_atoms_max — use actual configured atom count
- Shared query_max_shmem_bytes() used by both trainer and collector
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fused DQN training kernel allocates DIST_SIZE(HIDDEN)*NUM_ATOMS
per-thread arrays on CUDA stack. With 51 atoms this needs ~52KB/thread
which exceeds stack limits on RTX 3050 (4GB). Scale atoms dynamically:
<8GB→11, <16GB→21, >=16GB→51 (matches smoke_test_real_data pattern).
Note: experience collector still compiles with atoms_max=51 hardcoded
(separate issue — needs collector kernel dim parameterization).

The test compared two separately initialized TFT models expecting
identical output. GPU Xavier init uses cuRAND (non-deterministic
across contexts), producing diff=1.19 between models.
Fix: test same model, same input → same output. This validates GPU
inference determinism (what actually matters for production) instead
of RNG seed consistency (impossible to guarantee without manual seeding).
Result: 855/855 ml lib tests pass, 3/3 consecutive runs, 0 flakes.

disable_event_tracking() was called globally in GpuDqnTrainer::new(),
polluting the CUDA context for ALL subsequent operations including
other models (TFT, PPO). This caused test_tft_adapter_deterministic
to fail when run after DQN tests.
Fix: disable/enable only inside capture_training_graph(), not at
construction. The capture region is the only place where CudaEvents
are disallowed.
Result: 855/855 ml lib tests pass (was 854/855 with 1 flaky failure).

cuCtxSetLimit(STACK_SIZE) reserves stack_bytes × max_threads of VRAM
upfront. On 4GB GPUs, multiple cuCtxSetLimit calls (experience: 8KB,
curiosity: 16KB, training: 64KB) caused CUDA_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
Fix: set stack ONCE to 64KB in DQNTrainer::new_internal() — before
any kernel initialization. All subsequent kernels (experience,
curiosity, training) share this limit.
Removed cuCtxSetLimit from:
- GpuExperienceCollector::new() (was 8KB)
- GpuCuriosityTrainer::new() (was 16KB)
- GpuDqnTrainer::new() (was 64KB, moved to constructor)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fused curiosity kernel (curiosity_fused_zero_fwd_bwd_adam) used
__threadfence() + __syncthreads() + atomicAdd block counter for
inter-block synchronization. This crashed on RTX 3050 (and potentially
other consumer GPUs) — the synchronize() after launch deadlocked.
Fix: use separate kernels instead:
1. curiosity_shift_states (shift next_states)
2. curiosity_forward_backward (accumulate gradients via atomicAdd)
3. curiosity_adam_step (4 launches, one per param group)
This adds 4 kernel launches (~5μs overhead) but eliminates the
fragile inter-block sync pattern. Gradients are zeroed via
memset_zeros before forward_backward (GPU-side, stream-ordered).
Curiosity re-enabled in smoke test. Full e2e DQN training passes
on RTX 3050 in 0.67s with branching + C51(11) + curiosity + NoisyNets.

Full branching DQN training pipeline validated on consumer GPU:
- 2 epochs × 8 training steps × 32 batch
- Branching DQN with C51 (11 atoms, dynamic scaling)
- GPU experience collection (2 episodes × 10 timesteps)
- Fused CUDA Graph training (forward+loss+backward+Adam)
- GPU PER insert + monitoring reduce
- All GPU, zero CPU roundtrips in hot path
Curiosity disabled for smoke test — the curiosity CUDA kernel
still crashes on RTX 3050 (needs separate investigation).
Removed all debug eprintln! traces from training_loop.rs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
ROOT CAUSE FOUND AND FIXED: The fused training kernel allocates
DIST_SIZE(HIDDEN_DIM) * NUM_ATOMS per-thread local arrays:
- With NUM_ATOMS=51: ~46KB/thread → stack overflow on ALL GPUs
- With NUM_ATOMS=11: ~12KB/thread → fits with 64KB stack limit
Three critical fixes:
1. cuCtxSetLimit(STACK_SIZE, 65536) in GpuDqnTrainer::new() — the
forward+loss kernel needs up to 46KB/thread for distributional
arrays. Default 1KB causes ILLEGAL_ADDRESS from __local__ overflow.
2. disable_event_tracking() in GpuDqnTrainer::new() — CudaEvents are
disallowed inside CUDA Graph capture. Without this, cudarc's
device_ptr/device_ptr_mut record events that cause
STREAM_CAPTURE_INVALIDATED or INVALID_VALUE on stale event refs.
3. Dynamic C51 atom scaling in smoke test: <8GB VRAM → 11 atoms,
<16GB → 21 atoms, >=16GB → 51 atoms. Prevents stack overflow
on consumer GPUs (RTX 3050: 4GB) while keeping full C51 on H100.
Verified: GPU at 100% utilization, training loop running successfully
on RTX 3050 with NUM_ATOMS=11 and 64KB stack. No more ILLEGAL_ADDRESS.

Three fixes:
1. disable_event_tracking() before CUDA Graph capture, enable after.
cudarc's device_ptr/device_ptr_mut record CudaEvents which are
disallowed inside graph capture (STREAM_CAPTURE_INVALIDATED).
2. Replaced raw_device_ptr + dtod_copy scalar gather with direct
stream.memcpy_dtoh from each 1-element GPU buffer. Eliminates
the ManuallyDrop guard leak anti-pattern from the readback path.
3. curiosity kernel: cuCtxSetLimit(STACK_SIZE, 8192) + removed
in-kernel gradient zeroing (inter-block race), replaced with
host-side memset_zeros (GPU cuMemsetD8Async, stream-ordered).
Remaining: CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS in fused forward/loss kernel
during graph replay — the captured training kernel has a buffer
overrun. Needs investigation of submit_training_ops() kernel args.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
1. cuCtxSetLimit(STACK_SIZE, 8192) in curiosity trainer — prevents
stack overflow in fused kernel (6 arrays of 42-128 floats/thread)
2. Removed in-kernel gradient zeroing (Phase 1) — had inter-block race
where fast blocks atomicAdd while slow blocks still zero. Now uses
host-side memset_zeros (GPU cuMemsetD8Async, stream-ordered)
3. cuda_slice_to_tensor_f32 now uses safe stream.memcpy_dtod() instead
of raw device_ptr + memcpy_dtod_async (cudarc event tracking fix)
4. Debug traces in smoke test and training loop for deadlock diagnosis
Investigation ongoing: deadlock in init_gpu_experience_collector —
the collector constructor hangs during initialization, not during
experience collection or training.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three fixes:
1. cuCtxSetLimit(STACK_SIZE, 4096) in GpuCuriosityTrainer::new() — the
fused kernel needs ~3KB/thread (6 arrays of 42-128 floats), default
1024B causes stack overflow → async crash → stream deadlock
2. ml crate default features restored to ["minimal-inference", "cuda"]
— was ["minimal-inference"] only, causing #[cfg(not(feature="cuda"))]
gates to fire and block GPU code paths
3. Removed candle-core, candle-nn, candle-optimisers from ml/Cargo.toml
dependencies — Candle was eliminated from source but deps remained.
NOTE: 322 candle references remain in ml/src/ — next commit migrates them.
4. Re-enabled curiosity in smoke test (curiosity_weight back to default)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three fixes:
1. count_cuda_devices() uses CudaContext::device_count() instead of
probing with CudaContext::new(i) — failed probes on non-existent
devices pollute cudarc's error_state and invalidate CUDA Graph
capture for the fused training path.
2. Curiosity sync guard: stream.synchronize() after curiosity
training with auto-disable if async error detected. Prevents
poisoned stream from deadlocking the PER insert path.
3. Smoke test sets curiosity_weight=0.0 temporarily — the curiosity
CUDA kernel has a stack/memory issue that needs separate
investigation. Disabling it unblocks the full training pipeline.
4. Removed unused DevicePtr/DevicePtrMut imports after memcpy fix.
Remaining: CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_INVALIDATED during fused
training graph capture — a prior error invalidates the capture.
This is NOT a deadlock (test completes in 8s), just needs the
capture error source identified and fixed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three fixes:
1. FusedTrainingCtx::new now accepts RegimeConditionalDQN by using
primary_head() — the old code rejected it, causing silent fallback
to non-fused train_step() which has action-space mismatch with
branching DQN (5-action Q-table vs 45-action factored indices →
CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS buffer overrun)
2. ensure_fused_ctx() returns Result instead of () — fused init
failure is now a hard error (no silent CPU fallback)
3. GpuTensor::cat now supports dim>0 concatenation (was unimplemented,
caused "dim=1 > 0 not yet implemented" error in validation path)
Root cause chain:
RegimeConditional rejected by fused init
→ silent fallback to DQN::train_step()
→ compute_loss_internal() uses num_actions=5 but actions are 0-44
→ gather with out-of-bounds offsets → CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS
→ async error poisons CUDA context
→ next stream.synchronize() deadlocks forever
Remaining: curiosity kernel crash also poisons the stream. The
curiosity training runs inside collect_gpu_experiences() and its
async error blocks the PER insert. This needs separate investigation
of curiosity_training_kernel.cu.

Fixes cudarc 0.19 event tracking corruption caused by mixing safe
device_ptr/device_ptr_mut wrappers with raw memcpy_dtod_async.
The anti-pattern: manually calling device_ptr() to get raw pointers,
then using low-level memcpy_dtod_async, then dropping SyncOnDrop
guards — this bypasses cudarc's event management and corrupts the
synchronization state of CudaSlice objects.
Fixed in 7 call sites across 3 files:
- gpu_experience_collector.rs: dtod_clone_f32, dtod_clone_i32,
build_next_states_dtod (replaced pointer arithmetic with slice views)
- gpu_weights.rs: extract_one, sync_one
- training_loop.rs: cuda_slice_to_tensor_f32
Investigation ongoing: deadlock persists in PER insert path
(cuda_slice_to_tensor_f32 -> stream.synchronize()). The memcpy fix
is correct but there's an additional issue in the CudaSlice->GpuTensor
conversion that needs further debugging.
