Troubleshooting

CUDA Not Available

CUDA not available, skipping GPU stress test

Solution: Test gracefully skips if CUDA unavailable. To enable:

1. Install CUDA toolkit: apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
2. Verify: nvcc --version
3. Check GPU: nvidia-smi

Test Timeout

test test_gpu_ensemble_4_model_stress has been running for over 60 seconds

Solution: Normal for stress tests. Increase timeout in Cargo.toml:

[[test]]
name = "chaos_testing"
timeout = 120  # 2 minutes

Memory Leak Detected

Memory leak detected: 75 MB delta after 32000 predictions

Solution: Review model inference code for:

• Tensors not properly dropped
• VRAM not released after predictions
• Accumulating gradient buffers

Next Steps

For Next Agent (9.17+)

1. Production Deployment

   • Update deployment scripts for INT8 models
   • Add GPU monitoring to observability stack
   • Document model loading procedures

2. Integration Testing

   • End-to-end test with real market data
   • Validate ensemble decision quality
   • Measure accuracy delta (F32 vs INT8)

3. Performance Benchmarking

   • Compare F32 vs INT8 latency (3-4x expected)
   • Measure memory reduction (3-8x expected)
   • Document production baselines
