**Date**: 2025-10-15
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE - ALL TESTS PASSED**
**Test File**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/tests/gpu_4_model_stress_test.rs`
**Test Duration**: 22.87 seconds

## 🧪 Test Implementation

### Test Scenarios

The comprehensive test suite includes:

1. **Concurrent Inference** - All 4 models predict simultaneously (1000 iterations)
2. **Sequential Training** - Train each model for 10 epochs sequentially
3. **Rapid Model Switching** - Load/unload models repeatedly (100 cycles)
4. **Memory Leak Detection** - Monitor memory over 10,000 inferences

### GPU Memory Monitoring

```rust
/// Query GPU memory using nvidia-smi
fn get_gpu_memory() -> Result<GPUMemorySnapshot, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let output = Command::new("nvidia-smi")
        .args(&[
            "--query-gpu=memory.used,memory.free,memory.total",
            "--format=csv,noheader,nounits",
        ])
        .output()?;
    // ... parse and return snapshot
}
```

**Monitoring Points**:
- Initial baseline (before model loading)
- After each model initialization
- Every 100 inference iterations
- Every 1000 inferences in extended leak detection
- Final memory state after all tests

### Model Configurations (Stress Test)

```rust
// DQN - Smallest model
WorkingDQNConfig {
    state_dim: 256,
    num_actions: 3,
    hidden_dims: vec![128, 64],
    learning_rate: 1e-4,
}

// PPO - Medium model
PPOConfig {
    state_dim: 256,
    num_actions: 3,
    policy_hidden_dims: vec![128, 64],
    value_hidden_dims: vec![128, 64],
}

// MAMBA-2 - Large model (SSM)
Mamba2Config {
    d_model: 64,        // Reduced for stress test
    d_state: 16,
    num_layers: 2,      // Reduced layers
    batch_size: 4,
    seq_len: 32,
}

// TFT - Largest model (attention)
TFTConfig {
    hidden_dim: 32,      // Reduced for stress test
    num_heads: 4,
    num_layers: 2,
    num_quantiles: 3,    // Reduced quantiles
}
```

## 🔧 Implementation Details

### DType Consistency Solution ✅ **IMPLEMENTED**

**Problem**: MAMBA-2 requires F64 for SSM stability, TFT requires F32 for attention mechanisms

**Solution**: Separate tensor creation functions for each model
```rust
/// Helper for MAMBA-2 (F64 for SSM stability)
fn create_sequence_tensor_f64(device: &Device, batch_size: usize, seq_len: usize, d_model: usize)
    -> Result<Tensor, MLError>

/// Helper for TFT (F32 for attention mechanisms)
fn create_sequence_tensor_f32(device: &Device, batch_size: usize, seq_len: usize, d_model: usize)
    -> Result<Tensor, MLError>
```

**Result**: All models work correctly with appropriate dtypes, no conversions needed

## 🔍 Debugging Tips

### TFT DType Mismatch

**Symptom**: `dtype mismatch in matmul, lhs: F64, rhs: F32`

**Diagnosis**:
1. Check input tensor dtypes: `tensor.dtype()`
2. Verify TFT VarMap dtype: F32 expected
3. Trace matmul location: GatedResidualNetwork

**Quick Fix**:
```rust
// Convert F64 → F32 before TFT forward
let static_features = static_features.to_dtype(DType::F32)?;
let historical_features = historical_features.to_dtype(DType::F32)?;
let future_features = future_features.to_dtype(DType::F32)?;
```

### Memory Leak Detection

**Symptom**: GPU memory grows >10% over 1000 iterations

**Diagnosis**:
1. Check for unclosed CUDA contexts
2. Verify tensor cleanup after inference
3. Monitor VRAM with `nvidia-smi dmon`
4. Profile with `nsys` for detailed analysis

**Prevention**:
- Use `drop()` explicitly for large tensors
- Avoid keeping tensors in Vec across iterations
- Benchmark memory at checkpoints (every 100 iters)
