jgrusewski bf40677b22 perf: eliminate per-step GPU→CPU serialization — 12x epoch speedup
Remove 3 per-step CPU-GPU synchronization points that dominated the
300ms/step wall time (pure compute for 323K params is <1ms on H100):

1. target_ema_update: removed cuStreamSynchronize — stream ordering
   guarantees EMA kernel sees Adam-updated weights (same stream).

2. apply_attention_forward: removed cuStreamSynchronize — save_h_s2
   is written by graph_forward on the same stream.

3. Actions DtoH round-trip: GpuBatch.actions changed from GpuTensor
   (bf16) to CudaSlice<i32>. Eliminates synchronous GPU→CPU→GPU
   round-trip (bf16 download → i32 cast → upload) every training step.
   Actions now flow u32 → i32 via async DtoD in the replay buffer.

Throttle expensive per-step features:
4. Gradient vaccine: runs every 10 steps (was every step). Full
   ungraphed forward+backward pass was ~100-150ms — the single
   largest bottleneck. 10-step amortization preserves gradient
   quality with ~90% cost reduction.

5. Causal intervention interval: 10 → 100. Each invocation runs
   14 cuBLAS forward passes + sync + readback.

Dead code removed:
- u32_slice_to_gpu_tensor_gpu (56 lines) — obsolete bf16 cast path
- u32_to_f32 CastKernel field — no longer needed
- Old train_step fallback in training_loop — fused path only

Expected: ~300ms/step → ~25ms/step → ~50s/epoch (was 614s)

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)

# 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
