jgrusewski 45963b2b4b feat(ml): wire GpuBufferPool + DoubleBufferedLoader into DQN trainer GPU upload path
- GpuBufferPool: reuses pre-allocated staging buffers for zero-alloc fold transitions
  instead of always calling DqnGpuData::upload() directly
- DoubleBufferedLoader: new field on DQNTrainer for zero-downtime fold transitions;
  skips re-upload when active slot is already populated from a previous fold
- Added double_buffer() / double_buffer_mut() accessors
- Upload path: check double-buffer first, then try buffer_pool, then direct upload

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.
