 ## GPU Mutex for Multi-Instance Debugging
-**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances for parallel debugging, only one GPU (cuda:0) is available. Before executing ANY command that uses the GPU (python scripts, benchmarks, tests), Claude MUST:
+**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances for parallel debugging, different rules apply based on script type:
-1. **Check GPU availability** by running:
+### Benchmarks (`bench*.py`) - Exclusive GPU Access Required
   ```bash
   nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid,name,used_memory --format=csv,noheader
   ```
-2. **If processes are running on GPU**:
+Before running any `bench*.py` script, Claude MUST wait for exclusive GPU access:
   - Wait and retry every 10 seconds until GPU is free
   - Use this polling loop:
     ```bash
     while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
       echo "GPU busy, waiting 10s..."
       sleep 10
     done
     ```
 3. **Only proceed** when `nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader` returns empty output
 **Example workflow**:
 ```bash
 # First check if GPU is in use
 nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid,name,used_memory --format=csv,noheader
 # If output is empty, proceed with your command
 python bench_offload.py
 # If output shows processes, wait until they finish
 ```
 **Note**: This applies to ALL GPU operations including:
 - Running tests (`python tests/test_*.py`)
 - Running benchmarks (`python bench*.py`)
 - Running examples (`python example.py`)
 - Any script that imports torch/cuda
 ## Local Package Installation for Multi-Instance
 **CRITICAL**: After ANY code modification in the `nanovllm/` directory, you MUST reinstall the package before running tests or benchmarks:
 ```bash
-pip install -e . --prefix=./.local --no-deps
+# Check and wait for GPU to be free
 while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
  echo "GPU busy, waiting 10s..."
  sleep 10
 done
 ```
-Then run with PYTHONPATH:
+### Other Scripts (tests, examples) - No Special Requirements
 For non-benchmark scripts, exclusive GPU access is NOT required. Multiple nanovllm processes can run simultaneously on different GPUs - each process automatically selects a unique port for `torch.distributed` communication.
 ## Multi-Instance Development with PYTHONPATH
 **IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances on different worktrees, do NOT use `pip install -e .` globally as it will affect other instances.
 **Use PYTHONPATH directly** - no pip install needed:
 ```bash
-PYTHONPATH=./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH python <script.py>
+# Set PYTHONPATH to point to the project root directory
 PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/worktree:$PYTHONPATH python <script.py>
 # Example: running tests
 PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py
 ```
-**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances on different worktrees, do NOT use `pip install -e .` globally as it will affect other instances. Instead, use local installation:
+**Benefits**:
-
+- No `pip install` required
-1. **Install to worktree-local directory**:
+- Code changes take effect immediately (no reinstall needed)
-   ```bash
+- Each worktree is completely isolated
   pip install -e . --prefix=./.local --no-deps
   ```
 2. **Set PYTHONPATH before running any Python command**:
   ```bash
   export PYTHONPATH=./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
   ```
 3. **Combined example**:
   ```bash
   # One-liner for running tests with local package
   PYTHONPATH=./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py
   ```
 **Note**: The Python version in the path (python3.10) should match your environment.
 **CRITICAL**: After making code changes to `nanovllm/` source files, you MUST reinstall the package for changes to take effect:
 ```bash
 pip install -e . --prefix=./.local --no-deps
 ```
 Without reinstallation, Python will use the old cached version and your changes will NOT be reflected!
 ## Sparse Attention
 For sparse attention related content (block sparse attention, MInference, FlexPrefill, XAttention, AvgPool, etc.), refer to [`docs/sparse_attention_guide.md`](docs/sparse_attention_guide.md).
 ### Quest Sparse Policy
 **Files**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/quest.py`, `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py`
 Quest policy selects Top-K blocks based on query-key similarity bounds using min/max key metadata.
 **Scoring Mechanism**:
 ```python
 score_min = torch.einsum('hd,bhd->bh', q, key_min)  # [num_blocks, kv_heads]
 score_max = torch.einsum('hd,bhd->bh', q, key_max)  # [num_blocks, kv_heads]
 scores = torch.maximum(score_min, score_max).mean(dim=-1)  # [num_blocks] ← averaged!
 ```
 **Critical Limitation - No Per-Head Scheduling**:
 The `.mean(dim=-1)` averages scores across all heads, making a **unified** block selection for all heads:
 ```
 Block A: head0 needs (+4), head1 doesn't (-4) → avg = 0 → NOT selected
 Block B: head0 doesn't (-4), head1 needs (+4) → avg = 0 → NOT selected
 Block C: both heads moderately need (+2, +2) → avg = +2 → selected
 ```
 **Why Per-Head Scheduling is Infeasible**:
 1. **Memory Layout**: GPU cache stores all heads together `[block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]`
 2. **FlashAttention**: Requires complete heads - partial heads cause dimension mismatch
 3. **Block Granularity**: If any head needs a block, the entire block (all heads) must be loaded
 **Policy Types**:
 - `FullAttentionPolicy`: `supports_prefill=True, supports_decode=True` - loads all blocks
 - `QuestPolicy`: `supports_prefill=False, supports_decode=True` - decode-only Top-K selection
 ## Architecture
 ### Core Components
 - **LLMEngine** (`llm_engine.py`): Main entry, runs prefill-decode loop
 - **ModelRunner** (`model_runner.py`): Loads weights, allocates KV cache, CUDA graphs
 - **Scheduler** (`scheduler.py`): Two-phase scheduling (prefill → decode)
 - **BlockManager** (`block_manager.py`): Paged attention with prefix caching (xxhash), default block size 4096
 - **Attention** (`layers/attention.py`): FlashAttention with chunked methods for CPU offload
 ## PyTorch Hooks for Debugging
 ### Hook Positions in Qwen3
 ```
 decoder_layer
 ├── input_layernorm (RMSNorm)
 ├── self_attn (Qwen3Attention)          ← Hook here for attention I/O after o_proj
 │   ├── q_proj → q_norm → RoPE
 │   ├── k_proj → k_norm → RoPE
 │   ├── v_proj
 │   ├── attn (Attention)                ← Hook here for Q/K/V tensors
 │   │   └── FlashAttention / SDPA
 │   └── o_proj
 ├── post_attention_layernorm (RMSNorm)
 └── mlp (Qwen3MLP)
 ```
 ### Hook Types & Data Shapes
 | Hook Position | Type | Captured Data |
 |---------------|------|---------------|
 | `self_attn` | post | `[batch, seq_len, hidden_size]` - after o_proj |
 | `self_attn.attn` | pre | Q,K,V: `[seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]` - after RoPE |
 | `self_attn.attn` | post | `[seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]` - before o_proj |
 ### Example: Capture Attention Outputs
 ```python
 storage = {}
 def make_hook(layer_id: int, storage: dict):
    def hook(module, inputs, output):
        if isinstance(output, tuple):
            attn_output = output[0]
        else:
            attn_output = output
        # nanovllm shape: [num_tokens, hidden_size] -> add batch dim
        if attn_output.dim() == 2:
            attn_output = attn_output.unsqueeze(0)
        storage[layer_id] = attn_output.detach().clone()
    return hook
 # Register hooks
 hooks = []
 for layer_idx, layer in enumerate(model.model.layers):
    hooks.append(layer.self_attn.register_forward_hook(make_hook(layer_idx, storage)))
 # Run inference...
 # Cleanup
 for hook in hooks:
    hook.remove()
 ```
 ### Reference Implementation
 Key files:
 - `tests/modeling_qwen3.py`: Reference Qwen3 implementation (torch + transformers only)
 - `tests/test_needle_ref.py`: Reference needle test using custom Qwen3
 - `tests/test_needle.py`: Needle-in-haystack test for nanovllm
 ### Common Pitfalls
 1. **Shape mismatch**: nanovllm uses `[num_tokens, ...]` while torch uses `[batch, seq_len, ...]`
 2. **Hook position**: `self_attn` captures after o_proj, `self_attn.attn` captures before o_proj
 3. **Output format**: nanovllm returns tuple `(attn_output, None)`, handle with `output[0]`
 ## CPU Offload System
 ### Ring Buffer Design
 ```
 GPU Slots: [0]  [1]  [2]  [3]  ...  (unified ring buffer)
 Prefill: slot = chunk_idx % N
 Decode:  slot[0] = decode, slots[1:] = load previous chunks
 ```
 **Key Files**: `kvcache/offload_engine.py`, `kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`
 **Memory Layout**:
 - GPU: `[num_layers, num_gpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]`
 - CPU: `[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, ...]` (pinned memory)
 **Key Methods**:
 - `load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer, cpu_block)`: Async H2D load
 - `offload_slot_to_cpu(slot, cpu_block)`: Async D2H offload
 - Per-slot per-layer CUDA events for fine-grained synchronization
 **Pipeline**: N-way pipeline with dedicated streams for full compute-transfer overlap. Pipeline depth = N-1 (prefill), (N-1)/2 (decode).
 ### Stream Architecture
 ```
 Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
 ```
 **Key Design Decisions**:
 - **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
 - **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with default stream
 - **CUDA Events**: `ring_slot_ready` (transfer complete), `ring_slot_compute_done` (safe to overwrite)
 ## Scatter-Gather DMA (sgDMA) - INTEGRATED ✓
 ### Problem & Solution
 **Problem**: Strided CPU cache access `k_cache_cpu[:, block_id]` caused slow Device→Pageable transfers at ~1.4 GB/s instead of optimal ~24 GB/s pinned memory bandwidth.
 **Solution**: Implemented `cudaMemcpy2D` via custom CUDA extension to handle strided layouts natively. **Integration complete** as of 2025-12-25.
 ### Quick Start
 ```python
 from nanovllm.comm import memcpy_2d_async
 # Transfer block_id across all layers
 spitch = num_blocks * features * dtype_size  # stride between layers
 dpitch = features * dtype_size               # contiguous destination
 width = features * dtype_size                # bytes per row
 height = num_layers                          # number of rows
 memcpy_2d_async(gpu_buf, cpu_cache[:, block_id], dpitch, spitch, width, height, "h2d", stream)
 ```
 ### Benchmark Performance (Synthetic, 256MB)
 | Method | Bandwidth | Speedup |
 |--------|-----------|---------|
 | **cudaMemcpy2D (sgDMA)** | **24.95 GB/s** | **Baseline** |
 | PyTorch strided | 4.25 GB/s | **5.87x slower** |
 | PyTorch contiguous | 24.92 GB/s | Same |
 ### Real-World Performance (A100, Attention Offload)
 **Measured from `test_attention_offload.py` profiling**:
 | Transfer Type | Count | Bandwidth | Previous | Speedup |
 |---------------|-------|-----------|----------|---------|
 | **Device→Pinned (D2H)** | 416 | **21.49 GB/s** | 1.40 GB/s | **15.35x** |
 | **Pinned→Device (H2D)** | 24,960 | **23.39 GB/s** | N/A | N/A |
 | Device→Pageable (D2H) | **0** | N/A | ~40 transfers | **Eliminated** |
 **Verification**: All slow Device→Pageable transfers eliminated. System achieves near-optimal PCIe Gen3 x16 bandwidth.
 **Build**: `python setup.py build_ext --inplace`
 **Files**:
 - `csrc/sgdma_kernel.cu`, `csrc/sgdma.cpp`: CUDA extension
 - `nanovllm/comm/sgdma.py`: Python API
 - `kvcache/offload_engine.py`: Integration (4 methods updated)
 ### Integration Details
 **Modified methods in `offload_engine.py`**:
 - `load_to_slot_all_layers()`: H2D ring buffer load
 - `offload_slot_to_cpu()`: D2H ring buffer offload
 - `offload_decode_slot()`: D2H decode slot offload
 - `load_cpu_blocks_to_gpu_slots_all_layers()`: Batch H2D load
 **Example replacement**:
 ```python
 # Before (slow, Device→Pageable fallback)
 self.k_cache_gpu[:, slot].copy_(self.k_cache_cpu[:, cpu_block], non_blocking=True)
 # After (fast, Device→Pinned via sgDMA)
 memcpy_2d_async(
    self.k_cache_gpu[:, slot], self.k_cache_cpu[:, cpu_block],
    self.gpu_pitch, self.cpu_pitch, self.width, self.height,
    "h2d", stream=self.transfer_stream_main
 )
 ```
 **Actual Impact**: 15.35x faster D2H transfers, eliminates memory transfer bottleneck. Expected 2-3x overall prefill throughput improvement.
 ## Online Softmax Merge - Triton Fused Kernel ✓
 ### Problem & Solution
 **Problem**: Original PyTorch implementation of `merge_attention_outputs()` launches 7 separate kernels per merge operation:
 1. `torch.maximum()` - max(lse1, lse2)
 2. `torch.exp()` (2x) - exp(lse1-max), exp(lse2-max)
 3. `transpose()` + `unsqueeze()` - reshape for broadcasting
 4. Accumulation (6x) - weighted sum operations
 5. Division - normalize output
 6. `torch.log()` - merge LSE
 7. `.to()` - type conversion
 **Profiling revealed**: In ChunkedPrefill with 8 layers, these operations consumed **698 ms** GPU time (vs FlashAttention 603 ms), becoming a major bottleneck.
 **Solution**: Implemented Triton fused kernels that combine all operations into 2 kernels. **Integration complete** as of 2025-12-25.
 ### Implementation
 **File**: `nanovllm/kvcache/chunked_attention.py:278-408`
 Two Triton kernels replace all PyTorch operations:
 ```python
@triton.jit
 def _merge_lse_kernel(...):
    """Fused: max + exp + log"""
    max_lse = tl.maximum(lse1, lse2)
    exp1 = tl.exp(lse1 - max_lse)
    exp2 = tl.exp(lse2 - max_lse)
    lse_merged = max_lse + tl.log(exp1 + exp2)
    tl.store(lse_out_ptr + offsets, lse_merged, mask=mask)
@triton.jit
 def _merge_output_kernel(...):
    """Fused: broadcast + weighted sum + division"""
    # Load LSE, compute scaling factors
    exp1 = tl.exp(lse1 - max_lse)
    exp2 = tl.exp(lse2 - max_lse)
    sum_exp = exp1 + exp2
    # Process headdim in chunks
    for d_offset in range(0, headdim, BLOCK_SIZE):
        o1_val = tl.load(o1_ptr + o_idx, mask=mask)
        o2_val = tl.load(o2_ptr + o_idx, mask=mask)
        o_merged = (o1_val * exp1 + o2_val * exp2) / sum_exp
        tl.store(o_out_ptr + o_idx, o_merged, mask=mask)
 ```
 ### Performance Results
 **From `test_attention_offload.py` profiling** (8 layers, 16K tokens, 16 chunks, 10 iterations):
 | Metric | PyTorch (7 kernels) | Triton (2 kernels) | Speedup |
 |--------|---------------------|---------------------|---------|
 | **GPU time (8 layers)** | 698 ms | 160.7 ms | **4.3x** |
 | **Per-layer time** | 87.3 ms | 20.1 ms | **4.3x** |
 | **Avg per merge** | 56 µs | 12.9 µs | **4.3x** |
 | **Kernel launches** | 10,920 | 3,120 | **71% reduction** |
 **Breakdown** (per-layer, 1,560 merges):
 - `_merge_output_kernel`: 126.9 ms / 8 = 15.9 ms/layer (avg 10.2 µs/call)
 - `_merge_lse_kernel`: 33.8 ms / 8 = 4.2 ms/layer (avg 2.7 µs/call)
 ### Overall ChunkedPrefill Impact
 **GPU time distribution** (test_attention_offload.py):
 | Component | Time (ms) | Percentage |
 |-----------|-----------|------------|
 | FlashAttention | 603.2 | 74.8% |
 | Triton Merge | 160.7 | 19.9% |
 | Other | 42.1 | 5.3% |
 | **Total** | **806.0** | **100%** |
 **If using PyTorch merge** (estimated):
 - Total GPU time: ~1,343 ms
 - **Overall speedup with Triton**: 1.67x

 ## Known Issues and Fixes
 ### Partial Last Block Bug (FIXED ✓)
 **Problem**: When prefill token count is not an exact multiple of `block_size`, decode outputs garbage.
 **Root Cause**: `_chunked_decode_attention` calculated `last_block_valid_tokens` using `len(seq) - 1`, which increases during decode. But CPU blocks are fixed after prefill!
 ```python
 # BUG: len(seq) increases each decode step
 total_prefill_tokens = len(seq) - 1  # Wrong!
 last_block_valid_tokens = total_prefill_tokens % block_size  # Reads garbage from CPU
 ```
 **Fix**: Cache original prefill length in `HybridKVCacheManager.get_prefill_len()`:
 ```python
 # CORRECT: Use cached prefill length
 total_prefill_tokens = kvcache_manager.get_prefill_len(seq)  # Fixed value
 ```
 **Files Modified**:
 - `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`: Added `_prefill_len` dict and `get_prefill_len()` method
 - `nanovllm/layers/attention.py`: Use `get_prefill_len()` instead of `len(seq) - 1`
 ### Block Size 4096 Race Condition (FIXED ✓)
 **Problem**: `block_size=4096` with multiple chunks produced `index_copy_(): index out of bounds` CUDA error during Chunk 2 processing.
 **Root Cause**: Race condition between default stream and compute stream. In `_prepare_chunked_offload_chunk()`, `slot_mapping` tensor was created with `non_blocking=True` H2D transfer on the default stream. However, `store_kvcache` runs on `compute_stream`. Without synchronization, `compute_stream` could use `slot_mapping` before its transfer completed, causing corrupted indices.
 **Fix** (in `attention.py`):
 ```python
 if is_chunked_offload:
    compute_stream = context.kvcache_manager.offload_engine.compute_stream
    if k_cache.numel() and v_cache.numel():
        # CRITICAL: Wait for default stream to ensure slot_mapping tensor transfer is complete
        compute_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.default_stream())
        with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):
            store_kvcache(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, context.slot_mapping)
 ```

 | Triton Merge | 161 ms | 19.9% | ✓ Optimized |
 | Other | 42 ms | 5.3% | Minor |
 ### Future Optimization Directions
 1. **FlashAttention Optimization** (highest priority)
   - Current: 74.8% of GPU time
   - Potential: Custom FlashAttention kernel for chunked case
   - Expected: 1.5-2x additional speedup
 2. ~~**Pipeline Optimization**~~ ✓ COMPLETED
   - ~~Better overlap between compute and memory transfer~~
   - ~~Multi-stream execution~~
   - See: N-way Pipeline with Dedicated Streams above
 3. **Alternative to sgDMA** (lower priority, PyTorch-only)
   - Reorganize cache layout: `[num_cpu_blocks, num_layers, ...]` instead of `[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, ...]`
   - Trade-off: Extensive refactoring vs minimal sgDMA approach
   - Same performance as sgDMA (~24 GB/s)

 ---
 ## CPU Offload System
 ### Ring Buffer Design
 The CPU offload system uses a unified ring buffer to manage GPU memory slots:
 ```
 GPU Slots: [0]  [1]  [2]  [3]  ...  (unified ring buffer)
 Prefill:  slot = chunk_idx % N
 Decode:   slot[0] = decode, slots[1:] = load previous chunks
 ```
 **Key Files**: `kvcache/offload_engine.py`, `kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`
 ### Memory Layout
 **GPU Memory**:
 ```
 [num_layers, num_gpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 **CPU Memory** (pinned):
 ```
 [num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 ### Key Methods
 | Method | Purpose |
 |--------|---------|
 | `load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer, cpu_block)` | Async H2D load for specific layer |
 | `offload_slot_to_cpu(slot, cpu_block)` | Async D2H offload |
 | Per-slot per-layer CUDA events | Fine-grained synchronization |
 ### Pipeline Architecture
 **N-way Pipeline** with dedicated streams for full compute-transfer overlap:
 - **Prefill pipeline depth**: N-1
 - **Decode pipeline depth**: (N-1)/2
 ### Stream Architecture
 ```
 Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
 ```
 ### Key Design Decisions
 1. **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
 2. **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with CUDA default stream
 3. **CUDA Events**:
   - `ring_slot_ready`: Signals transfer complete
   - `ring_slot_compute_done`: Signals safe to overwrite slot
 ### Chunked Offload Flow
 **Prefill Phase**:
 1. For each chunk, assign `slot = chunk_idx % N`
 2. Load required KV blocks from CPU to assigned slot
 3. Compute attention on current chunk
 4. Offload results back to CPU if needed
 **Decode Phase**:
 1. Use `slot[0]` for active decode computation
 2. Use `slots[1:]` to prefetch upcoming chunks
 3. Rotate slots as decoding progresses
 ---
 ## Configuration Parameters
 | Parameter | Default | Description |
 |-----------|---------|-------------|
 | `kvcache_block_size` | 1024 | Tokens per KV cache block |
 | `num_gpu_blocks` | 2 | Number of GPU blocks for offload |
 | `num_kv_buffers` | 4 | Ring buffer size (1-4), lower = less memory but slower decode |
 | `enable_cpu_offload` | False | Enable CPU offload mode |
 ### Trade-offs
 - **More GPU blocks**: Higher memory usage, faster prefill (fewer transfers)
 - **Fewer GPU blocks**: Lower memory usage, more frequent transfers
 - **Larger ring buffer**: More memory, better prefetch overlap
 - **Smaller ring buffer**: Less memory, potential compute stalls

 # Debugging Guide
 This document covers debugging techniques for nano-vLLM, including PyTorch hooks and common pitfalls.
 ## PyTorch Hooks for Debugging
 ### Hook Positions in Qwen3
 Understanding where to place hooks is critical for capturing the right data:
 ```
 decoder_layer
 ├── input_layernorm (RMSNorm)
 ├── self_attn (Qwen3Attention)          ← Hook here for attention I/O after o_proj
 │   ├── q_proj → q_norm → RoPE
 │   ├── k_proj → k_norm → RoPE
 │   ├── v_proj
 │   ├── attn (Attention)                ← Hook here for Q/K/V tensors
 │   │   └── FlashAttention / SDPA
 │   └── o_proj
 ├── post_attention_layernorm (RMSNorm)
 └── mlp (Qwen3MLP)
 ```
 ### Hook Types & Data Shapes
 | Hook Position | Type | Captured Data |
 |---------------|------|---------------|
 | `self_attn` | post | `[batch, seq_len, hidden_size]` - after o_proj |
 | `self_attn.attn` | pre | Q,K,V: `[seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]` - after RoPE |
 | `self_attn.attn` | post | `[seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]` - before o_proj |
 ### Example: Capture Attention Outputs
 ```python
 storage = {}
 def make_hook(layer_id: int, storage: dict):
    def hook(module, inputs, output):
        if isinstance(output, tuple):
            attn_output = output[0]
        else:
            attn_output = output
        # nanovllm shape: [num_tokens, hidden_size] -> add batch dim
        if attn_output.dim() == 2:
            attn_output = attn_output.unsqueeze(0)
        storage[layer_id] = attn_output.detach().clone()
    return hook
 # Register hooks
 hooks = []
 for layer_idx, layer in enumerate(model.model.layers):
    hooks.append(layer.self_attn.register_forward_hook(make_hook(layer_idx, storage)))
 # Run inference...
 # Cleanup
 for hook in hooks:
    hook.remove()
 ```
 ### Reference Implementation Files
 | File | Purpose |
 |------|---------|
 | `tests/modeling_qwen3.py` | Reference Qwen3 implementation (torch + transformers only) |
 | `tests/test_needle_ref.py` | Reference needle test using custom Qwen3 |
 | `tests/test_needle.py` | Needle-in-haystack test for nanovllm |
 ## Common Pitfalls
 ### 1. Shape Mismatch
 **Issue**: nanovllm uses `[num_tokens, ...]` while torch uses `[batch, seq_len, ...]`
 **Solution**: Always add/remove batch dimension when comparing:
 ```python
 if tensor.dim() == 2:
    tensor = tensor.unsqueeze(0)  # Add batch dim
 ```
 ### 2. Hook Position
 **Issue**: `self_attn` captures after o_proj, `self_attn.attn` captures before o_proj
 **Solution**: Choose the right hook based on what you need:
 - Use `self_attn` for final attention output
 - Use `self_attn.attn` for raw Q/K/V tensors
 ### 3. Output Format
 **Issue**: nanovllm returns tuple `(attn_output, None)`
 **Solution**: Always access first element:
 ```python
 if isinstance(output, tuple):
    actual_output = output[0]
 ```
 ## Tensor Comparison
 When comparing tensors between nanovllm and reference implementations:
 ```python
 def compare_tensors(name: str, actual, expected, rtol=1e-3, atol=1e-5):
    """Compare two tensors with reasonable tolerances."""
    if actual.shape != expected.shape:
        print(f"{name}: Shape mismatch - {actual.shape} vs {expected.shape}")
        return False
    max_diff = (actual - expected).abs().max().item()
    mean_diff = (actual - expected).abs().mean().item()
    matches = torch.allclose(actual, expected, rtol=rtol, atol=atol)
    print(f"{name}: {'PASS' if matches else 'FAIL'} (max={max_diff:.6f}, mean={mean_diff:.6f})")
    return matches
 ```
 ## Memory Profiling
 Track GPU memory usage during inference:
 ```python
 import torch
 def get_gpu_memory():
    allocated = torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1024**3  # GB
    reserved = torch.cuda.memory_reserved() / 1024**3  # GB
    return allocated, reserved
 # Before inference
 alloc_before, reserved_before = get_gpu_memory()
 # Run inference...
 # After inference
 alloc_after, reserved_after = get_gpu_memory()
 print(f"GPU Memory: {alloc_after:.2f} GB allocated, {reserved_after:.2f} GB reserved")
 print(f"Peak: {(alloc_after - alloc_before):.2f} GB")
 ```

 # Known Issues and Fixes
 This document documents bugs that were discovered and fixed in nano-vLLM.
 ---
 ## Partial Last Block Bug (FIXED ✓)
 ### Problem
 When prefill token count is not an exact multiple of `block_size`, decode outputs garbage.
 ### Root Cause
 `_chunked_decode_attention` calculated `last_block_valid_tokens` using `len(seq) - 1`, which increases during decode. But CPU blocks are fixed after prefill!
 ```python
 # BUG: len(seq) increases each decode step
 total_prefill_tokens = len(seq) - 1  # Wrong!
 last_block_valid_tokens = total_prefill_tokens % block_size  # Reads garbage from CPU
 ```
 ### Fix
 Cache original prefill length in `HybridKVCacheManager.get_prefill_len()`:
 ```python
 # CORRECT: Use cached prefill length
 total_prefill_tokens = kvcache_manager.get_prefill_len(seq)  # Fixed value
 ```
 ### Files Modified
 - `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`: Added `_prefill_len` dict and `get_prefill_len()` method
 - `nanovllm/layers/attention.py`: Use `get_prefill_len()` instead of `len(seq) - 1`
 ### Verification
 Tested with various prefill lengths (not multiples of block_size):
 - 100 tokens (block_size=1024)
 - 5000 tokens (block_size=4096)
 - 15000 tokens (block_size=4096)
 All tests now produce correct output.
 ---
 ## Block Size 4096 Race Condition (FIXED ✓)
 ### Problem
 `block_size=4096` with multiple chunks produced `index_copy_(): index out of bounds` CUDA error during Chunk 2 processing.
 ### Root Cause
 Race condition between default stream and compute stream. In `_prepare_chunked_offload_chunk()`, `slot_mapping` tensor was created with `non_blocking=True` H2D transfer on the default stream. However, `store_kvcache` runs on `compute_stream`. Without synchronization, `compute_stream` could use `slot_mapping` before its transfer completed, causing corrupted indices.
 ### Fix
 Added explicit stream synchronization in `attention.py`:
 ```python
 if is_chunked_offload:
    compute_stream = context.kvcache_manager.offload_engine.compute_stream
    if k_cache.numel() and v_cache.numel():
        # CRITICAL: Wait for default stream to ensure slot_mapping tensor transfer is complete
        compute_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.default_stream())
        with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):
            store_kvcache(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, context.slot_mapping)
 ```
 ### Verification
 Tested block sizes: 512, 1024, 4096, 8192 - all pass.
 ### Files Modified
 - `nanovllm/layers/attention.py`: Added `compute_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.default_stream())`

 # Optimization Guide
 This document describes performance optimizations implemented in nano-vLLM, including sgDMA, Triton fused kernels, and N-way pipeline.
 ---
 ## Scatter-Gather DMA (sgDMA) - INTEGRATED ✓
 ### Problem
 Strided CPU cache access `k_cache_cpu[:, block_id]` caused slow Device→Pageable transfers at ~1.4 GB/s instead of optimal ~24 GB/s pinned memory bandwidth.
 ### Solution
 Implemented `cudaMemcpy2D` via custom CUDA extension to handle strided layouts natively.
 **Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
 ### Quick Start
 ```python
 from nanovllm.comm import memcpy_2d_async
 # Transfer block_id across all layers
 spitch = num_blocks * features * dtype_size  # stride between layers
 dpitch = features * dtype_size               # contiguous destination
 width = features * dtype_size                # bytes per row
 height = num_layers                          # number of rows
 memcpy_2d_async(gpu_buf, cpu_cache[:, block_id], dpitch, spitch, width, height, "h2d", stream)
 ```
 ### Benchmark Performance (Synthetic, 256MB)
 | Method | Bandwidth | Speedup |
 |--------|-----------|---------|
 | **cudaMemcpy2D (sgDMA)** | **24.95 GB/s** | **Baseline** |
 | PyTorch strided | 4.25 GB/s | **5.87x slower** |
 | PyTorch contiguous | 24.92 GB/s | Same |
 ### Real-World Performance (A100, Attention Offload)
 **Measured from `test_attention_offload.py` profiling**:
 | Transfer Type | Count | Bandwidth | Previous | Speedup |
 |---------------|-------|-----------|----------|---------|
 | **Device→Pinned (D2H)** | 416 | **21.49 GB/s** | 1.40 GB/s | **15.35x** |
 | **Pinned→Device (H2D)** | 24,960 | **23.39 GB/s** | N/A | N/A |
 | Device→Pageable (D2H) | **0** | N/A | ~40 transfers | **Eliminated** |
 **Verification**: All slow Device→Pageable transfers eliminated. System achieves near-optimal PCIe Gen3 x16 bandwidth.
 ### Files
 - `csrc/sgdma_kernel.cu`, `csrc/sgdma.cpp`: CUDA extension
 - `nanovllm/comm/sgdma.py`: Python API
 - `kvcache/offload_engine.py`: Integration (4 methods updated)
 ### Build
 ```bash
 python setup.py build_ext --inplace
 ```
 ### Integration Details
 **Modified methods in `offload_engine.py`**:
 - `load_to_slot_all_layers()`: H2D ring buffer load
 - `offload_slot_to_cpu()`: D2H ring buffer offload
 - `offload_decode_slot()`: D2H decode slot offload
 - `load_cpu_blocks_to_gpu_slots_all_layers()`: Batch H2D load
 **Example replacement**:
 ```python
 # Before (slow, Device→Pageable fallback)
 self.k_cache_gpu[:, slot].copy_(self.k_cache_cpu[:, cpu_block], non_blocking=True)
 # After (fast, Device→Pinned via sgDMA)
 memcpy_2d_async(
    self.k_cache_gpu[:, slot], self.k_cache_cpu[:, cpu_block],
    self.gpu_pitch, self.cpu_pitch, self.width, self.height,
    "h2d", stream=self.transfer_stream_main
 )
 ```
 **Actual Impact**: 15.35x faster D2H transfers, eliminates memory transfer bottleneck. Expected 2-3x overall prefill throughput improvement.

 ## Online Softmax Merge - Triton Fused Kernel ✓
 ### Problem
 Original PyTorch implementation of `merge_attention_outputs()` launches 7 separate kernels per merge operation:
 1. `torch.maximum()` - max(lse1, lse2)
 2. `torch.exp()` (2x) - exp(lse1-max), exp(lse2-max)
 3. `transpose()` + `unsqueeze()` - reshape for broadcasting
 4. Accumulation (6x) - weighted sum operations
 5. Division - normalize output
 6. `torch.log()` - merge LSE
 7. `.to()` - type conversion
 **Profiling revealed**: In ChunkedPrefill with 8 layers, these operations consumed **698 ms** GPU time (vs FlashAttention 603 ms), becoming a major bottleneck.
 ### Solution
 Implemented Triton fused kernels that combine all operations into 2 kernels.
 **Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
 ### Implementation
 **File**: `nanovllm/kvcache/chunked_attention.py:278-408`
 Two Triton kernels replace all PyTorch operations:
 ```python
@triton.jit
 def _merge_lse_kernel(...):
    """Fused: max + exp + log"""
    max_lse = tl.maximum(lse1, lse2)
    exp1 = tl.exp(lse1 - max_lse)
    exp2 = tl.exp(lse2 - max_lse)
    lse_merged = max_lse + tl.log(exp1 + exp2)
    tl.store(lse_out_ptr + offsets, lse_merged, mask=mask)
@triton.jit
 def _merge_output_kernel(...):
    """Fused: broadcast + weighted sum + division"""
    # Load LSE, compute scaling factors
    exp1 = tl.exp(lse1 - max_lse)
    exp2 = tl.exp(lse2 - max_lse)
    sum_exp = exp1 + exp2
    # Process headdim in chunks
    for d_offset in range(0, headdim, BLOCK_SIZE):
        o1_val = tl.load(o1_ptr + o_idx, mask=mask)
        o2_val = tl.load(o2_ptr + o_idx, mask=mask)
        o_merged = (o1_val * exp1 + o2_val * exp2) / sum_exp
        tl.store(o_out_ptr + o_idx, o_merged, mask=mask)
 ```
 ### Performance Results
 **From `test_attention_offload.py` profiling** (8 layers, 16K tokens, 16 chunks, 10 iterations):
 | Metric | PyTorch (7 kernels) | Triton (2 kernels) | Speedup |
 |--------|---------------------|---------------------|---------|
 | **GPU time (8 layers)** | 698 ms | 160.7 ms | **4.3x** |
 | **Per-layer time** | 87.3 ms | 20.1 ms | **4.3x** |
 | **Avg per merge** | 56 µs | 12.9 µs | **4.3x** |
 | **Kernel launches** | 10,920 | 3,120 | **71% reduction** |
 **Breakdown** (per-layer, 1,560 merges):
 - `_merge_output_kernel`: 126.9 ms / 8 = 15.9 ms/layer (avg 10.2 µs/call)
 - `_merge_lse_kernel`: 33.8 ms / 8 = 4.2 ms/layer (avg 2.7 µs/call)
 ### Overall ChunkedPrefill Impact
 **GPU time distribution** (test_attention_offload.py):
 | Component | Time (ms) | Percentage |
 |-----------|-----------|------------|
 | FlashAttention | 603.2 | 74.8% |
 | Triton Merge | 160.7 | 19.9% |
 | Other | 42.1 | 5.3% |
 | **Total** | **806.0** | **100%** |
 **If using PyTorch merge** (estimated):
 - Total GPU time: ~1,343 ms
 - **Overall speedup with Triton**: 1.67x

 ## N-way Pipeline with Dedicated Streams ✓
 ### Problem
 Original implementation used only 2-slot double buffering, limiting compute-transfer overlap.
 ### Solution
 Implemented N-way pipeline using all available GPU slots with per-slot transfer streams and dedicated compute stream.
 **Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
 ### Architecture
 ```
 Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
 ```
 ### Key Design Decisions
 1. **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
 2. **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with CUDA default stream
 3. **CUDA Events**:
   - `ring_slot_ready`: Signals transfer complete
   - `ring_slot_compute_done`: Signals safe to overwrite slot
 ### Performance Impact
 **2.0x improvement**: 7.2k → 14.1k tok/s (16K tokens prefill)
 ---
 ## Overall Performance Summary
 ### Completed Optimizations ✓
 | Optimization | Date | Impact |
 |--------------|------|--------|
 | **sgDMA Integration** | 2025-12-25 | 15.35x faster memory transfers (21-23 GB/s) |
 | **Triton Fused Merge** | 2025-12-25 | 4.3x faster merges, 1.67x overall ChunkedPrefill |
 | **N-way Pipeline** | 2025-12-25 | 2.0x prefill throughput improvement |
 ### Current Bottlenecks
 **From profiling** (`test_attention_offload.py`, 8 layers, 16K tokens):
 | Component | GPU Time | Percentage | Optimization Potential |
 |-----------|----------|------------|------------------------|
 | FlashAttention | 603 ms | 74.8% | ⚠️ Main bottleneck |
 | Triton Merge | 161 ms | 19.9% | ✓ Optimized |
 | Other | 42 ms | 5.3% | Minor |
 ### Future Optimization Directions
 1. **FlashAttention Optimization** (highest priority)
   - Current: 74.8% of GPU time
   - Potential: Custom FlashAttention kernel for chunked case
   - Expected: 1.5-2x additional speedup
 2. **Alternative to sgDMA** (lower priority, PyTorch-only)
   - Reorganize cache layout: `[num_cpu_blocks, num_layers, ...]` instead of `[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, ...]`
   - Trade-off: Extensive refactoring vs minimal sgDMA approach
   - Same performance as sgDMA (~24 GB/s)

 ## Quest Sparse Policy
 **Files**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/quest.py`, `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py`
 ### Core Idea
 Quest policy selects Top-K blocks based on query-key similarity bounds using min/max key metadata. This enables efficient block selection for CPU offload scenarios.
 ### Scoring Mechanism
 ```python
 # Compute scores using key metadata bounds
 score_min = torch.einsum('hd,bhd->bh', q, key_min)  # [num_blocks, kv_heads]
 score_max = torch.einsum('hd,bhd->bh', q, key_max)  # [num_blocks, kv_heads]
 scores = torch.maximum(score_min, score_max).mean(dim=-1)  # [num_blocks] ← averaged!
 ```
 ### Critical Limitation - No Per-Head Scheduling
 The `.mean(dim=-1)` averages scores across all heads, making a **unified** block selection for all heads:
 ```
 Block A: head0 needs (+4), head1 doesn't (-4) → avg = 0 → NOT selected
 Block B: head0 doesn't (-4), head1 needs (+4) → avg = 0 → NOT selected
 Block C: both heads moderately need (+2, +2) → avg = +2 → selected
 ```
 ### Why Per-Head Scheduling is Infeasible
 1. **Memory Layout**: GPU cache stores all heads together `[block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]`
 2. **FlashAttention**: Requires complete heads - partial heads cause dimension mismatch
 3. **Block Granularity**: If any head needs a block, the entire block (all heads) must be loaded
 ### Policy Types
 | Policy | supports_prefill | supports_decode | Description |
 |--------|------------------|-----------------|-------------|
 | `FullAttentionPolicy` | True | True | Loads all blocks (no sparsity) |
 | `QuestPolicy` | False | True | Decode-only Top-K selection |
 ### Usage Example
 ```python
 from nanovllm.kvcache.sparse.policy import QuestPolicy
 # Create Quest policy for decode-only sparse attention
 policy = QuestPolicy(topk=8, threshold=4.0)
 # Select blocks based on query and key metadata
 selected_blocks = policy.select_blocks(
    query,           # [num_tokens, num_heads, head_dim]
    key_min,         # [num_blocks, num_heads, head_dim]
    key_max,         # [num_blocks, num_heads, head_dim]
 )
 ```
 ### Key Parameters
 | Parameter | Default | Description |
 |-----------|---------|-------------|
 | `topk` | 8 | Number of blocks to select |
 | `threshold` | 4.0 | Minimum score threshold for selection |
 ### Integration with CPU Offload
 The Quest policy is used in conjunction with CPU offload to reduce the number of blocks transferred from CPU to GPU during decode:
 1. During prefill, all blocks are loaded (full attention)
 2. During decode, Quest selects only top-K important blocks
 3. Only selected blocks are transferred from CPU to GPU
 4. This reduces memory bandwidth requirements for long sequences
