Description

Decoder CUDA graph capture runs every graph shape twice. A warmup-only pass first runs each shape eagerly, so that the
shared attention workspace grows to its largest size before any graph bakes in its address; the capture pass then runs
each shape once more and captures it. The warmup-only pass costs one extra eager forward per graph at every startup.

This PR adds an opt-in TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_SKIP_WARMUP_PASS=1, with which the final executor captures its decode graphs in
one pass and keeps them only when that was safe:

• With CUDA graphs on, the final executor's ranks agree with one allgather whether to try the single pass. Each rank
  contributes its own switch, so a rank without TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_SKIP_WARMUP_PASS=1 keeps every rank on two passes. A
  rank that set the switch but cannot use it logs why (TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_SKIP_WARMUP_PASS=1 is ignored: <reason>).
• Each shape still runs the runner's own warmup forward right before its capture. These eager forwards keep the warmup
  MoE communication timeouts; each graph capture switches to the serving timeouts, which the graph keeps. The
  per-capture switch logs at DEBUG (moe_comm_serving_timeouts(quiet=True)), and a successful single pass logs two
  INFO lines.
• Before the replay that follows each capture, every rank synchronizes its device and joins one allgather, so no replay
  waits under the serving timeouts for a peer that is still busy with first-use work.
• During the single pass, CUDAGraphRunner.capture(..., record_tensor_ptrs=True) records the addresses of each graph's
  attention and speculative-decoding metadata tensors, the set the TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_STRICT_BUFFERS check records, and
  moved_graph_tensors() compares them the way that check does (it stays opt-in at replay). After the last capture each
  rank checks that none of them moved, that is, that no smaller shape regrew a buffer an earlier graph had baked in, and
  all ranks agree with one allgather.
• If any rank saw a tensor move, every rank clears the graphs and captures again with the two passes, with a warning that
  names the switch, the moved tensors and the remedy. Prefill CUDA graphs are captured after this decision, as before.
• The KV-cache estimation executor (kv_cache_manager.is_estimating_kv_cache) always captures with both passes, so the
  KV-cache size does not depend on the switch.
• The single pass is not tried where the warmup-only pass does more than warm up (_single_pass_blocker(), one gate per
  duty of that pass): with LoRA CUDA graphs or FlashInfer MXFP8 decode GEMMs, whose tactics are tuned in that pass, in a
  DecoderCudaGraphs subclass that sets supports_single_pass_capture = False (the encoder-decoder runner does: its
  mixed shapes rely on that pass, and the check does not cover its cross-attention metadata), on DWDP ranks, which
  cannot agree through the runner's communicator, and with pipeline parallelism, where the per-shape skip of a shape
  without KV-cache space is not agreed across stages, so a stage that skipped a shape would miss its peers' line-up
  allgather. In these cases the ranks keep both passes and log why.
• Unset on every rank, the capture flow is the current one. The additions are the agreement allgather above and, at
  every capture, a capture scope that is a no-op inside the pass-wide serving scope; tensor addresses are recorded
  only during a single pass, or with TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_STRICT_BUFFERS=1 as before.
• docs/source/llm-api/index.md documents the switch next to the startup metrics (prototype), and
  MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md describes the capture scope for both flows.

The switch is opt-in because the check sees only the top-level metadata tensors of the captured graphs. A buffer held
elsewhere, by a module or nested in the metadata, that a smaller shape regrows after a larger shape's capture would go
unnoticed; the two-pass capture avoids that by construction. Enable it for a model after comparing its outputs with and
without it, as the end-to-end test below does for one model.

This PR does not depend on #21438. Both edit the with line of the graph capture in cuda_graph_runner.py and nearby
code in graphs.py, so whichever merges second resolves that conflict; the end-to-end test fails if the capture scope is
lost in the resolution.

Measured results

The numbers below were measured on the code before this review round, applied to the touched Python files of a build of
main 0bdadaa plus #21438 (#21438 changes three of these files; one hunk, the capture scope in
cuda_graph_runner.py, was applied by hand). That code had no line-up before the replays. The line-up adds one small
allgather after a device sync per graph, far under 1 s even for hundreds of graphs, so the saving should carry over. The
branch is now rebased on main 762a8dc. Since 0bdadaa, main has changed three touched Python files: warmup.py
(the context-logits workspace is reserved before the capture, decode-only workers warm up only generation shapes, and an
opt-in DSA Top-K runner is prewarmed), graphs.py (decode-only workers skip the prefill graphs) and encoder_decoder.py
(a config rename).

DeepSeek-R1-0528-NVFP4-v2 on one GB300 node, DEP4
(attention DP, EP4, CUTLASS MoE) with MTP (3 draft tokens), cuda_graph_config with padding up to batch 256: 21 batch
sizes x 2 sampling variants = 42 decode graphs per rank. Two sets of runs on two nodes; on each node the arms ran in
sequence with the checkpoint in the page cache. Time of the final executor's cuda_graph_capture warmup phase, rank 0
(ranks 1-3 within 0.4 s):

Arm	Node 1	Node 2
stock	36.2 s (warmup-only pass about 12 s, capture pass about 24 s)	33.2 s
TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_SKIP_WARMUP_PASS=1 (one pass)	27.3 s	25.9 s
stock again	35.1 s	32.3 s

• -8.4 s (-23%) on node 1 and -6.9 s (-21%) on node 2 against the mean of the two stock runs. Final executor creation:
  32.7 s against 42.1 and 41.2 s (node 1), 31.0 s against 38.1 and 37.3 s (node 2).
• Every rank kept all 42 graphs of the single pass, and the KV-cache estimation executor kept both passes. The success
  line now reads Captured 42 decode CUDA graphs without the warmup-only pass.
• The single pass takes about 3-4 s more than the stock capture pass: each shape's warmup forward is now its first in
  this executor.
• The measured code logged the MoE communication timeout switch of each capture at INFO; it now logs at DEBUG.
• Token equality could not be checked on this model: two stock runs on the same node, with the autotuner tactics shared
  through TLLM_AUTOTUNER_CACHE_PATH, already decode different greedy tokens for 7 of the 8 prompts (from the 2nd to the
  10th token on). The end-to-end test below compares the outputs instead.

GSM8K and MTP acceptance, with this PR at 01cab44 applied to the same build and the same config (the later commit changes only the default path). Four runs, interleaved off / on / off / on on one node, each trtllm-eval gsm8k with its defaults (all 1319 test questions, 5-shot); acceptance from TLLM_EVAL_SPEC_STATS=1:

Switch	strict-match	flexible-extract	acceptance length	acceptance rate	final executor's capture
off	94.09 / 93.93	94.62 / 94.16	2.922 / 2.920	66.7% / 66.7%	33.0 s / 35.8 s
on	94.92 / 94.69	95.22 / 94.69	2.917 / 2.922	66.6% / 66.7%	26.0 s / 23.7 s

The two off runs alone flip 40 strict-match answers, so the difference between the arms is within run-to-run noise. In both on runs every rank kept all 42 decode graphs of the single pass, and the KV-cache estimation executor kept both passes.

Test Coverage

• tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_cuda_graph_skip_warmup_pass.py (new; runs in the pre-merge H100 and B300
  PyTorch stages through unittest/_torch/pyexecutor). TinyLlama generates eight greedy requests of different lengths
  with two logprobs per token, so the decode batch replays every graph size. A shim hands every prompt to the executor's
  first fetch, and the test asserts that it did, so every run steps through the same batches. A module fixture runs the
  default two-pass capture once as the baseline.
  • test_single_pass_capture_matches_two_passes: the final executor captures in one pass and the KV-cache estimation
    executor in two; the graph keys equal the baseline's, and generation replays every captured graph. Each shape's
    eager forward runs with the warmup MoE timeouts and each capture with the serving ones, so a lost capture scope
    fails the test.
  • test_single_pass_capture_falls_back_when_a_buffer_moves: the shared attention workspace is regrown before the
    second capture, as a smaller shape needing more workspace would; the final executor discards the single pass and
    captures with both passes, with the same graph keys and replays.
  • In both tests the tokens match the baseline until one flips, which is allowed only to the baseline's runner-up
    where the baseline's top two logprobs are within 0.3; that prompt is compared no further. Before that, the
    generated token's logprob agrees with the baseline's within 0.3. Logits are BF16, so benign differences come in
    whole steps (1/8 for logits of 16 to 32), and the thresholds allow two; a graph that read a stale buffer still
    fails.
  • The first version compared tokens exactly and failed in pre-merge H100 at one near-tie token, most likely because
    the executor fetches the first request alone when idle, so the two runs stepped through different batches.
  • Against the code without this PR the tests fail (the final executor still runs two passes).
• On the measured code (main 0bdadaa plus [TRTLLM-16622][feat] DeepSeek-V4.1: Perf optimizations for DS-V4.1-Flash-NVFP4 #21438, GB300), the earlier version of the test passed, and so did the
  existing tests of the touched files (314): tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/,
  test_cuda_graph_capture_replay.py, test_cuda_graph_runner.py, test_cuda_graph_runner_gpu.py,
  test_moe_comm_timeout_warmup.py and engine/test_context_only_warmup.py. After this review round they run in CI,
  together with the CPU tests that drive warmup_and_capture on stubs (test_moe_comm_timeout_warmup.py,
  unittest/_torch/moe/test_moe_comm_timeout_guard.py, speculative/hw_agnostic/test_dspark_model_engine_runtime.py
  and compilation/test_phase_selective_forward.py).

Dev Engineer Review

The opt-in TLLM_CUDA_GRAPH_SKIP_WARMUP_PASS=1 path attempts one-pass decode graph capture when all ranks agree and no blocker applies. If a checked metadata tensor moves, the code clears the graphs and uses the existing two-pass flow. KV-cache estimation remains two-pass.

The pointer check covers top-level attention and speculative-decoding metadata tensors only. Pipeline parallelism remains unvalidated. The change also adds capture-scope and timeout API parameters, with defaults that preserve existing behavior. Completed CI, build, and test results for the current head are not available.

QA Engineer Review

The PR adds two CUDA-gated tests in tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_cuda_graph_skip_warmup_pass.py:

• test_single_pass_capture_matches_two_passes checks pass counts, graph-key parity, replay coverage, timeout states, and generation output.
• test_single_pass_capture_falls_back_when_a_buffer_moves checks metadata-movement fallback to two-pass capture and output consistency.

The test file is not listed in the integration test-db/ or manual-QA lists. Coverage is needs follow-up for distributed-rank agreement, blocker cases, and pipeline parallelism. Test execution results are not available.

Per-File QA Perspective

• docs/source/llm-api/index.md: Documents the switch, fallback conditions, checked buffers, exclusions, and metrics. Verify that the documentation matches runtime behavior.
• tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md: Documents timeout scopes for both capture paths. Verify timeout entry and restoration.
• tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/moe_comm_timeout_guard.py: Adds keyword-only quiet options. Verify default INFO logging and quiet DEBUG logging.
• tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/cuda_graph_runner.py: Adds capture scopes and optional tensor-pointer recording. Verify moved-pointer detection and strict buffer checks.
• tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/graphs.py: Adds one-pass capture, rank agreement, synchronization, and metadata-movement fallback. Verify blocker handling and rank-consistent fallback.
• tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/warmup.py: Enables single-pass capture outside KV-cache estimation. Verify that estimation always uses two passes.
• tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/encoder_decoder.py: Disables single-pass capture for encoder-decoder graphs. Verify that the two-pass path remains active.
• tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_cuda_graph_skip_warmup_pass.py: Covers output equivalence, timeout scopes, graph replay, and moved-buffer fallback. It is not in the integration test lists; verify execution through the unit-test CI workflow.

Walkthrough

Decoder CUDA graph capture gains an opt-in single-pass path. The path checks eligibility and metadata tensor stability across ranks, then falls back to two-pass capture if metadata moves. The change also adds capture-scoped timeout handling, documentation, and CUDA integration tests.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 022fd

With the opt-in switch enabled, ranks that disagree about which graph shapes can be built (for example under pipeline parallelism or uneven free KV-cache blocks) could stall during startup capture. The default two-pass path is unchanged. Resolve or explicitly accept this risk, and add multi-rank fallback coverage, before relying on the switch in distributed deployments.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 022fd

The optimization is opt-in and preserves the existing startup behavior by default. Coordinated fallback limits known buffer-movement risks, but its checks do not cover every captured buffer, and some distributed failure and recovery conditions remain unproven.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The evidenced exposure is startup graph state and participating engine ranks. Enabling the path requires control of process configuration across the agreeing ranks; no request-controlled route to the new capture context was established. Cross-tenant or environment-wide exposure was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The serving-timeout context surrounds actual graph capture, not its preceding eager warmup. Timeout changes retain the prohibition against switching during active stream capture, and the context restores the previous mode on exit. The new quiet option changes logging level, not timeout authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Consistent per-shape participation remains a distributed precondition. Batch creation can fail from local KV-cache capacity, and generation capture skips missing batches locally. That skip already existed at the base; the new replay agreement also depends on consistent participation. A newly introduced supported deadlock configuration was not demonstrated.
• observed — Exceptional exit resets the single-pass flag, but does not execute the normal pointer-rejection cleanup branch. Capture metadata is installed before capture completes. No automatic same-runner retry contract was established, so this is a recovery limitation rather than a demonstrated newly exposed stale-state path.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before broadening adoption, define model-specific graph-buffer ownership requirements covering nested and module-owned storage, and make per-shape participation an explicit distributed invariant. These would strengthen admission and failure containment beyond the current documented guarantees.

Add a CPU-only unit test for the _single_pass_supported gates.

The CUDA test covers only the supported path and the workspace-move fallback. Nothing exercises the ineligible branches: existing graphs, a LoRA graph manager, MXFP8 FlashInfer autotune, a subclass _capture_additional_cuda_graphs override, and distributed ranks without allgather.

If one gate regresses, the single pass would skip tuning that only the warm-up-only pass performs. The result would be a silent performance loss on LoRA or MXFP8 deployments.

Add a test at tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_decoder_cuda_graphs_single_pass_gate.py. Build DecoderCudaGraphs with stub collaborators and assert that _single_pass_supported() returns False for each case and True for the plain case. Register it in l0_cpu.yml.

[sunnyqgg]

Thanks for the opt-in single-pass capture. The agreement-plus-fallback design is easy to follow, and with the switch unset the only addition is one allgather. This review has 1 blocker, 0 possibly blocking, 6 required and 10 nice-to-have comments. The blocker: in single-pass mode each shape's eager forward is followed directly by a replay whose MoE kernels carry the serving timeout, with no cross-rank barrier in between, so a rank still finishing first-use work can make its peers trap at startup.

• [Required] This PR and the open #21438 (same author) both rewrite the line cuda_graph_runner.py:922 (with ... nccl_window_graph_capture(...)), and both edit adjacent code in graphs.py. The description doesn't say whether one depends on the other or which merges first; CONTRIBUTING.md asks to "indicate the dependencies in the description". If a conflict resolution drops capture_scope(), single-pass graphs ship with the 1800 s warmup timeout, and no test would catch it. The startup numbers and the "314 tests pass" were measured on main 0bdadaa + #21438. Please state the merge order, re-run the new test and test_moe_comm_timeout_warmup.py after rebasing, and say whether the saving holds on this PR's own base. Please also drop the stale auto-generated block, which says no CI results are available.

[ziyixiong-nv]

@sunnyqgg thanks for the review. On the points in your summary:

• This PR does not depend on [TRTLLM-16622][feat] DeepSeek-V4.1: Perf optimizations for DS-V4.1-Flash-NVFP4 #21438 and is rebased on main dcadfb1; main has not touched the Python files since the measured build. Both PRs edit the with line of the capture in cuda_graph_runner.py and nearby code in graphs.py, so whichever lands second resolves that conflict, and the end-to-end test now fails if the capture scope is lost there.
• The startup numbers were taken on the code before this round (0bdadaa + [TRTLLM-16622][feat] DeepSeek-V4.1: Perf optimizations for DS-V4.1-Flash-NVFP4 #21438), without the per-graph line-up; the line-up adds one small allgather after a device sync per graph, so the saving should carry over.
• The new test and test_moe_comm_timeout_warmup.py run in the CI for this push.
• The stale auto-generated block is gone from the description, which now covers the dependency, the measured base and the new test.

On CodeRabbit's nitpicks: the gates now log their reason when the switch is set, and the TinyLlama test was extended rather than adding unit tests of the gates; the test unsets TRTLLM_SKIP_KV_CACHE_ESTIMATION and asserts the estimation executor's two passes (68c0bb5); every function in the test now has a docstring.

- Around line 431-432: Update the single-pass capture gate around
self.cuda_graph_runner.graphs so ranks agree on each shape’s batch availability
before entering its forward pass, or disable this gate for pipeline-parallel
execution. Preserve the existing capture behavior when all ranks can proceed,
and add a two-rank regression test where one rank cannot create a batch to
verify neither enters an unmatched collective.

The Blockers from my review of 2026-11-09 are resolved or answered at 4db7f36:

• graphs.py:682-685 now syncs the device and joins one allgather on every rank before each single-pass replay, so no replay waits under the serving MoE timeouts on a peer still in its eager forward or capture (c9d8475).

The per-graph line-up has only run at world size 1, where the allgather does nothing; no multi-rank run or test exercises the single pass, and the docs say it is not validated with PP.

This approval covers the Blocker only; the other +355/-154 lines since 32ec4c8 (moved_graph_tensors refactor in cuda_graph_runner.py, quiet MoE guard switch, docs, rewritten test) were not reviewed again.

- Line 414: Add a two-rank test for the `agree_flag` decision in the
graph-capture path that moves a metadata tensor on only one rank. Assert that
both ranks discard their graphs and complete the two-pass fallback, verifying
that the ranks choose the same capture path.
