From 1fcdfe532b35d00dd1b55019569381d1e9eaf417 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcos Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 01:50:21 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] chore(scheduler): harden v0.1 API + cache-friendly all_reduce loop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bundles three MEDIUM findings deferred from PR #6 review. 1. `#[non_exhaustive]` on public enums and structs Marks `ReduceOp` (collective.rs), `LinkState` and `Link` (intercard.rs), and `Error` (lib.rs) as `#[non_exhaustive]` so we can grow them — `ReduceOp::Product`, ADR-014's link `bandwidth_gbps` / `latency_ns` fields, additional `Error` variants — without a major-version semver bump. Cost: zero runtime; downstream `match` arms get a forced `_ =>` arm. Added two `compile_fail` doctests (one on `ReduceOp`, one on `Error`) that fail to compile *because* the enum is `#[non_exhaustive]`. If someone removes the attribute the doctest will start to compile, the `compile_fail` will *fail*, and CI will catch the silent semver-evolution regression. Two parallel unit-test sentinels document the intent in human-readable form (`reduce_op_non_exhaustive_*`, `error_non_exhaustive_*`). 2. Cache-friendly `all_reduce_f32` loop transposition Hoists the `match op` outside the per-element loop and transposes the loops so each card's contiguous Vec is read sequentially (outer = card, inner = element) instead of striding across `n_sails` separate Vec allocations per element. For n_sails=4, stride=1M (the design point a 4 GiB weight shard hits), this changes the access pattern from 4-way Vec stride per element to a single linear sweep per card — the inner-loop hot path now hits sequential cache lines, so we expect roughly an order-of-magnitude L1-miss reduction on the host-side mock. Result is bit-exact-identical to the previous implementation (all 9 `topology_mock` tests pass unchanged): Sum and Avg accumulate into `reduced` (Avg divides at end), Max/Min do in-place fold. The new implementation initialises `reduced` from card 0 then folds cards 1..n into it. Also documents the per-card-contiguous buffer layout as the public contract on the `AllReduce` trait. The real-device DMA path (PR #6b) will rely on this layout to map each `Vec` to a single scatter-gather descriptor, so getting the contract into the doc now avoids a rewrite later. No criterion bench added in this PR — scaffolding criterion into the workspace is out of scope for the scheduler-only surface; happy to land a follow-up benches/ harness if the measured numbers turn out to matter for the real-device path. Expected cache-behavior gain documented above. 3. Inline doc on graph capacity arithmetic `topology.rs:84` — added `// n*(n-1) directed edges in a fully-meshed graph` comment so future readers don't have to re-derive `Vec::with_capacity(n_sails.saturating_sub(1) * n_sails)`. Closes #8. Test summary: - 12 scheduler unit tests (was 10 + 2 non-exhaustive sentinels) - 9 scheduler integration tests (topology_mock, all bit-exact-identical) - 2 doctests (ReduceOp + Error compile_fail regression guards) - workspace total: clippy `-D warnings` clean, fmt clean Authored by Agent 3 (Software Stack — Spanker).
