jgrusewski 75f83888ca feat(bf16): mixed-precision kernels, f32 IS-weights, CUTLASS padding, fast_isnan
Mixed-precision loss/grad kernels:
- MSE + C51 loss: float softmax/projection/TD-error (prevents bf16 exp overflow)
- MSE + C51 grad: float arithmetic + bf16 range clamp before atomicAdd
- Shared memory: float (4 bytes/elem) for numerically stable reductions
- Bias kernels: float add+clamp ±500 (prevents bf16 Inf cascade between layers)
- Noisy bias kernel: same float clamping

fast_isnan/fast_isinf (ROOT CAUSE FIX):
- nvcc --use_fast_math implies --no-nans → isnan()/isinf() compiled to false
- ALL NaN guards across ALL kernels were dead code
- Added bit-pattern IEEE 754 checks to common_device_functions.cuh
- Replaced isnan/isinf in 7 kernel files (21 occurrences)
- ml-dqn build.rs: all kernels now get common header (no more standalone)

f32 PER IS-weights:
- GpuBatchSlices.weights: CudaSlice<u16> → CudaSlice<f32>
- GpuBatch.weights: GpuTensor → CudaSlice<f32>
- Loss/grad kernel signatures: const __nv_bfloat16* → const float*
- Upload path: separate f32 memcpy instead of bf16 staging
- Eliminates bf16 overflow in IS-weight storage

CUTLASS padding:
- pad32() helper: round up to next multiple of 32
- 6 value-logit buffers: pad32(num_atoms) (51 → 64)
- 6 branch-logit buffers: +32*3 padding per branch

895/895 unit tests, 8/9 smoke tests pass.
50-epoch convergence: NaN at step ~100-200 — backward pass produces NaN
gradients within the CUDA graph replay (same atomic execution as Adam).
Root cause: bf16 backward GemmEx inputs can overflow. Needs mixed-precision
backward pass (same pattern as loss kernels) or f32 gradient output buffers.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy

ML Models

Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:

  • DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction

Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.

Infrastructure

  • Git: Gitea at git.fxhnt.ai (Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
