jgrusewski 2b2ff4ffa5 feat(ml): maximize GPU utilization — BF16 mixed precision, dynamic sizing, sync reduction
Wire BF16/FP16 mixed precision end-to-end for DQN and PPO with auto-detection
from GPU name (Ampere+ → BF16, Volta/Turing → FP16). Add hidden_dim_base to
hyperopt and wire through training/eval binaries. Reduce GPU sync points: make
DQN NaN checks periodic (every 100 steps), replace PPO GAE GPU round-trip with
pure CPU implementation. Cache training data across hyperopt trials for all 10
models via Arc. Batch DQN experience storage (128x fewer lock acquisitions).
Correct VRAM constants and batch bounds for all 9 supervised model adapters.

28 files changed, +1207/-208 lines. 2418 tests pass.

Machine learning models for Foxhunt.

Models

  • DQN (Rainbow) -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized experience replay, dueling heads, noisy nets, double Q-learning
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE, LSTM policies, clip-higher option
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon time series forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for efficient sequence prediction
  • Liquid Networks -- Biologically inspired neural networks for non-stationary data
  • TLOB -- Transformer-based Limit Order Book analysis
  • Flash Attention -- Optimized attention implementation

Training

Two paths per model:

  1. Standalone trainer -- direct training loop (e.g., DQN::train, PpoTrainer)
  2. UnifiedTrainable adapter -- wraps models for the hyperopt pipeline (e.g., DQNTrainableAdapter, UnifiedTrainablePPO)

Inference

InferenceAdapterBridge connects models to the ensemble coordinator in adaptive-strategy. Each model exposes an InferenceAdapter trait for prediction.

Backend

  • Candle v0.9.1 -- VarMap, AdamW, loss.backward(), GradStore, opt.step(&grads)
  • CUDA required for training -- tested on RTX 3050 Ti 4GB, max batch size 230
  • CPU inference supported

Hyperopt

ArgminOptimizer (Particle Swarm Optimization) with per-model adapters: DQN, PPO, ContinuousPPO, TFT, Mamba2. Uses ParameterSpace trait for continuous parameter mapping.

ModelType Enum

15 variants: CompactDQN, DistilledMicroNet, DQN, RainbowDQN, MAMBA, TFT, TGGN, LNN, TLOB, PPO, Transformer, Mamba, LiquidNet, TGNN, Ensemble.
