Add comprehensive documentation for the MIT-Han-Lab Block-Sparse-Attention
library (3rdparty submodule, branch: tzj/minference).
The new document covers:
- Four sparse attention modes (dense, token/block streaming, block sparse)
- Hybrid mask support (different patterns per head)
- Complete API reference for all three functions
- Performance benchmarks (up to 3-4x speedup on A100)
- Integration considerations for nano-vllm

Add comprehensive memory analysis for 64k inference on Llama 3.1 8B:
New documentation:
- docs/64k_memory_analysis.md: GPU-only vs offload memory analysis,
OOM root cause (memory fragmentation), RTX 3090 limitations,
theoretical vs actual memory usage breakdown
Test configuration updates:
- tests/test_ruler.py: Add --num-kv-buffers parameter for ring buffer
size tuning (default 4, can reduce to 1 for lower memory)
- Update default data_dir to ruler_64k
- Update default max_model_len to 65664 for 64k support
CLAUDE.md updates:
- Add 64k_memory_analysis.md to documentation index
- Document num_kv_buffers parameter in Configuration section
- Add 64k hardware requirements note to Model Limits
Key findings: 64k inference requires ~26GB (GPU-only) or ~23GB (offload)
due to memory fragmentation on 24GB GPUs, making A100 (40GB+) the
recommended hardware for 64k workloads.

The add_rms_forward method processes two input tensors (x and residual),
which causes torch.compile recompilation issues. Keep @torch.compile only
on rms_forward which processes a single input.
This prevents unnecessary recompilation overhead during inference.

Implement chunked processing for LayerNorm, QKV projection, and MLP
layers to reduce peak activation memory for 64k sequence inference.
Changes:
- Chunked input_layernorm and post_attention_layernorm (chunk_size=128)
- Chunked QKV projection (chunk_size=128)
- Chunked MLP processing (chunk_size=128) with memory cleanup
- Added torch.cuda.empty_cache() calls after each chunk
This reduces peak activation from ~2 GB to ~50 MB per layer,
making 64k inference theoretically possible on 24GB GPUs
(though still limited by memory fragmentation).

- Add test_ruler.py supporting all 13 RULER tasks (NIAH, QA, CWE, FWE, VT)
- Implement RULER official evaluation metrics (string_match_all/part)
- Fix max_model_len to 32896 to prevent decode OOM on long inputs
- Add ruler_benchmark_report.md with full test results (92.1% accuracy)

Document key finding: single request inference works correctly (100% accuracy).
The 66% accuracy issue in batch mode is due to state accumulation between
sequential requests in the same process.
- Add comparison table: independent (100%) vs batch (66%) testing modes
- Document root cause analysis: state cleanup issue between requests
- Add workaround using test_ruler_niah.sh for independent testing
- Update next steps to focus on OffloadEngine reset/cleanup logic
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add test_ruler_niah.sh for independent sample testing across multiple GPUs.
Each sample runs in a separate Python process to avoid state accumulation issues.

Benchmarks (bench*.py) still require exclusive GPU access for accurate
measurements. Other scripts (tests, examples) now only check for
distributed port 29500 conflicts, allowing parallel GPU sharing.

Remove all chunked prefill related documentation (ring buffer, sgDMA,
Triton merge kernels, known issues) and replace with layer-wise offload
system documentation including:
- Design philosophy and benefits
- Memory layout and per-layer KV size table
- Prefill and decode flow pseudocode
- Critical implementation details (sync offload, causal=False for decode)
- Helper methods in HybridKVCacheManager

Replace pip install -e . --prefix=./.local approach with simpler PYTHONPATH method:
- No pip install required
- Code changes take effect immediately
- Each worktree is completely isolated

Combines two performance optimization features:
- perf_opt-1: Cross-layer pipeline for decode (double-buffered layer cache)
- perf_opt-2: Per-layer prefill buffer for async offload
Both features are complementary and improve CPU offload performance.
