+
+You are a GPU monitoring specialist responsible for tracking NVIDIA GPU metrics over time. Your sole purpose is to run nvidia-smi at specified intervals and record utilization and memory statistics.
+
+## Your Task
+
+You will receive two parameters:
+1. **gpus**: Comma-separated GPU indices to monitor (e.g., "0", "0,1", "0,1,2,3")
+2. **interval**: Sampling interval in seconds (e.g., "1", "0.5", "2")
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+1. **Parse Parameters**: Extract the GPU indices and interval from the user's request.
+
+2. **Run Monitoring Loop**: Execute nvidia-smi repeatedly at the specified interval using a bash loop:
+
+```bash
+# Example for GPUs 0,1 with 1-second interval
+while true; do
+  echo "=== $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') ==="
+  nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,utilization.gpu,utilization.memory,memory.used,memory.total,temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader -i 0,1
+  sleep 1
+done
+```
+
+3. **Output Format**: Each sample should include:
+   - Timestamp
+   - GPU index
+   - GPU utilization (%)
+   - Memory utilization (%)
+   - Memory used (MiB)
+   - Memory total (MiB)
+   - Temperature (°C)
+
+## Termination
+
+This agent runs continuously until:
+1. The main agent signals completion (you receive a stop signal)
+2. The user explicitly requests stopping
+3. An error occurs with nvidia-smi
+
+## Result Reporting
+
+When stopped, provide a summary:
+
+```markdown
+## GPU Monitoring Summary
+
+**Duration**: X minutes Y seconds
+**Samples Collected**: N
+**GPUs Monitored**: 0, 1, ...
+
+### Statistics per GPU
+
+| GPU | Avg Util | Max Util | Avg Mem Used | Max Mem Used |
+|-----|----------|----------|--------------|---------------|
+| 0   | X%       | Y%       | A MiB        | B MiB         |
+| 1   | X%       | Y%       | A MiB        | B MiB         |
+
+### Notable Events (if any)
+- Timestamp: Memory spike to X MiB on GPU Y
+- Timestamp: Utilization dropped to 0% on GPU Z
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- Use `nvidia-smi -i <gpu_ids>` to filter to specific GPUs
+- Keep output concise during monitoring (one line per GPU per sample)
+- If nvidia-smi fails, report the error and exit gracefully
+- Do NOT consume excessive resources - sleep between samples
+- Store samples in memory for final summary calculation
+
+## Example Invocation
+
+User says: "Monitor GPUs 0 and 2 with 0.5 second interval"
+
+You execute:
+```bash
+while true; do
+  echo "=== $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N') ==="
+  nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,utilization.gpu,utilization.memory,memory.used,memory.total,temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader -i 0,2
+  sleep 0.5
+done
+```

+# Smart Git Commit
+
+Create well-formatted commit: $ARGUMENTS
+
+## Current Repository State
+
+- Git status: !`git status --porcelain`
+- Current branch: !`git branch --show-current`
+- Staged changes: !`git diff --cached --stat`
+- Unstaged changes: !`git diff --stat`
+- Recent commits: !`git log --oneline -5`
+
+## What This Command Does
+
+1. Unless specified with `--no-verify`, automatically runs pre-commit checks:
+   - `pnpm lint` to ensure code quality
+   - `pnpm build` to verify the build succeeds
+   - `pnpm generate:docs` to update documentation
+2. Checks which files are staged with `git status`
+3. If 0 files are staged, automatically adds all modified and new files with `git add`
+4. Performs a `git diff` to understand what changes are being committed
+5. Analyzes the diff to determine if multiple distinct logical changes are present
+6. If multiple distinct changes are detected, suggests breaking the commit into multiple smaller commits
+7. For each commit (or the single commit if not split), creates a commit message using emoji conventional commit format
+
+## Best Practices for Commits
+
+- **Verify before committing**: Ensure code is linted, builds correctly, and documentation is updated
+- **Atomic commits**: Each commit should contain related changes that serve a single purpose
+- **Split large changes**: If changes touch multiple concerns, split them into separate commits
+- **Conventional commit format**: Use the format `<type>: <description>` where type is one of:
+  - `feat`: A new feature
+  - `fix`: A bug fix
+  - `docs`: Documentation changes
+  - `style`: Code style changes (formatting, etc)
+  - `refactor`: Code changes that neither fix bugs nor add features
+  - `perf`: Performance improvements
+  - `test`: Adding or fixing tests
+  - `chore`: Changes to the build process, tools, etc.
+- **Present tense, imperative mood**: Write commit messages as commands (e.g., "add feature" not "added feature")
+- **Concise first line**: Keep the first line under 72 characters
+- **Emoji**: Each commit type is paired with an appropriate emoji:
+  - ✨ `feat`: New feature
+  - 🐛 `fix`: Bug fix
+  - 📝 `docs`: Documentation
+  - 💄 `style`: Formatting/style
+  - ♻️ `refactor`: Code refactoring

+
+## Guidelines for Splitting Commits
+
+When analyzing the diff, consider splitting commits based on these criteria:
+
+1. **Different concerns**: Changes to unrelated parts of the codebase
+2. **Different types of changes**: Mixing features, fixes, refactoring, etc.
+3. **File patterns**: Changes to different types of files (e.g., source code vs documentation)
+4. **Logical grouping**: Changes that would be easier to understand or review separately
+5. **Size**: Very large changes that would be clearer if broken down
+
+## Examples
+
+Good commit messages:
+- ✨ feat: add user authentication system
+- 🐛 fix: resolve memory leak in rendering process
+- 📝 docs: update API documentation with new endpoints
+- ♻️ refactor: simplify error handling logic in parser
+- 🚨 fix: resolve linter warnings in component files
+- 🧑‍💻 chore: improve developer tooling setup process
+- 👔 feat: implement business logic for transaction validation
+- 🩹 fix: address minor styling inconsistency in header
+- 🚑️ fix: patch critical security vulnerability in auth flow
+- 🎨 style: reorganize component structure for better readability
+- 🔥 fix: remove deprecated legacy code
+- 🦺 feat: add input validation for user registration form
+- 💚 fix: resolve failing CI pipeline tests
+- 📈 feat: implement analytics tracking for user engagement
+- 🔒️ fix: strengthen authentication password requirements
+- ♿️ feat: improve form accessibility for screen readers
+
+Example of splitting commits:
+- First commit: ✨ feat: add new solc version type definitions
+- Second commit: 📝 docs: update documentation for new solc versions
+- Third commit: 🔧 chore: update package.json dependencies
+- Fourth commit: 🏷️ feat: add type definitions for new API endpoints
+- Fifth commit: 🧵 feat: improve concurrency handling in worker threads
+- Sixth commit: 🚨 fix: resolve linting issues in new code
+- Seventh commit: ✅ test: add unit tests for new solc version features
+- Eighth commit: 🔒️ fix: update dependencies with security vulnerabilities
+
+## Command Options
+
+- `--no-verify`: Skip running the pre-commit checks (lint, build, generate:docs)
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- By default, pre-commit checks (`pnpm lint`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm generate:docs`) will run to ensure code quality
+- If these checks fail, you'll be asked if you want to proceed with the commit anyway or fix the issues first
+- If specific files are already staged, the command will only commit those files
+- If no files are staged, it will automatically stage all modified and new files
+- The commit message will be constructed based on the changes detected
+- Before committing, the command will review the diff to identify if multiple commits would be more appropriate
+- If suggesting multiple commits, it will help you stage and commit the changes separately
+- Always reviews the commit diff to ensure the message matches the changes

+| `--no-interrupt` | 可选。禁止中断执行，遇到问题不与用户交互，自动解决或跳过 | `--no-interrupt` |
+
+## 当前参数
+
+```
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+## 执行前准备
+
+### 1. 解析参数
+
+从 `$ARGUMENTS` 中解析：
+- `GPU_ID`: 从 `--gpu <id>` 或 `-g <id>` 提取
+- `NO_INTERRUPT`: 是否存在 `--no-interrupt` 或 `-n` 标志
+
+### 2. 参数验证
+
+**必须验证**:
+- GPU_ID 必须是有效的数字
+- 运行 `nvidia-smi -i <GPU_ID>` 验证 GPU 存在
+
+### 3. 读取 task_plan.md
+
+读取项目根目录下的 `task_plan.md` 文件，理解：
+- 总体目标
+- 分阶段计划 (Phase 1, 2, 3...)
+- 文件修改清单
+- 风险和注意事项
+- 测试计划
+
+## 执行流程
+
+### Step 1: 创建执行计划
+
+使用 TodoWrite 工具创建详细的执行计划，包括：
+- 从 task_plan.md 提取的所有 Phase
+- 每个 Phase 的子任务
+- 测试验证步骤
+
+### Step 2: 按 Phase 执行重构
+
+对于 task_plan.md 中的每个 Phase：
+
+1. **读取当前代码**: 使用 Read/Grep 理解现有实现
+2. **实施修改**: 使用 Edit/Write 进行代码修改

+```bash
+# 正确
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU_ID PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python test.py
+
+# 错误 - 禁止使用其他 GPU
+python test.py  # 可能使用默认 GPU 0
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python test.py  # 使用多个 GPU
+```
+
+## 中断模式规则
+
+### 当 `--no-interrupt` 生效时
+
+遇到以下情况**不停下来询问用户**，而是：
+
+| 情况 | 处理方式 |
+|------|----------|
+| 测试失败 | 记录失败原因，尝试自动修复，继续下一步 |
+| 代码冲突 | 尝试合理解决，记录解决方案 |
+| 不确定的实现细节 | 选择最合理的方案继续 |
+| 执行错误 | 分析错误，尝试修复，记录问题 |
+
+**自动决策原则**:
+1. 优先保证功能正确性
+2. 遵循现有代码风格
+3. 选择简单直接的实现
+4. 记录所有自动决策到 `progress.md`
+
+### 当未指定 `--no-interrupt` 时
+
+遇到以下情况**可以询问用户**：
+- 多个实现方案需要选择
+- 测试持续失败无法自动修复
+- 发现 task_plan.md 中的问题或矛盾
+
+## 执行记录
+
+### 进度文件: progress.md
+
+实时更新 `progress.md` 记录：
+
+```markdown
+## 执行进度
+
+### Phase X: [名称]
+- 状态: [进行中/完成/失败]

+
+## 示例用法
+
+```bash
+# 使用 GPU 2，允许中断
+/exec-plan --gpu 2
+
+# 使用 GPU 0，不中断执行
+/exec-plan --gpu 0 --no-interrupt
+
+# 简短形式
+/exec-plan -g 1 -n
+```
+
+## 完成标准
+
+执行完成后，确保：
+
+1. **所有 Phase 完成**: task_plan.md 中的所有 Phase 都已实施
+2. **测试通过**: task_plan.md 中的测试计划全部通过
+3. **代码质量**: 修改符合项目代码规范
+4. **文档更新**: progress.md 包含完整执行记录
+
+## 重要约束
+
+1. **GPU 隔离**: 绝对不能使用指定 GPU 以外的设备
+2. **遵循计划**: 严格按照 task_plan.md 执行，不做计划外的修改
+3. **渐进式修改**: 每个 Phase 完成后验证，而不是最后一起验证
+4. **回滚准备**: 重大修改前考虑是否需要 git commit 保存点

+# Agent Result Format Rules
+
+## Purpose
+
+Minimize token usage when background agents return results to the main agent. Raw program output is verbose and wastes context window space.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Result Formatting Principle
+
+**MUST** return **structured summaries** instead of raw output.
+
+| Don't | Do |
+|-------|-----|
+| Full program stdout/stderr | Key metrics only |
+| Debug logs | Pass/Fail status |
+| Verbose error stacks | Error summary + location |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Standard Result Templates
+
+### 2.1 Test Results (RULER, Unit Tests, etc.)
+
+```markdown
+## Test Results: [Task Name]
+
+**Pass Rate**: X / Y (Z%)
+
+### Failed Samples (if any)
+| Sample | Expected | Got |
+|--------|----------|-----|
+| N | expected_value | actual_value |
+
+### Passed Samples
+[List sample IDs or "All N samples passed"]
+```
+
+**Example** (instead of raw test output):
+```markdown
+## Test Results: niah_single_1 (Samples 0-49)
+
+**Pass Rate**: 50 / 50 (100%)
+
+### Passed Samples
+All 50 samples passed.
+```
+
+### 2.2 Benchmark Results
+
+```markdown
+## Benchmark Results: [Task Name]
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Throughput | X tok/s |
+| Latency (p50) | Y ms |
+| Latency (p99) | Z ms |
+| Memory Peak | W GB |
+```
+
+### 2.3 Build/Compile Results
+
+```markdown
+## Build Results: [Target]
+
+**Status**: SUCCESS / FAILED
+
+### Errors (if any)
+| File | Line | Error |
+|------|------|-------|
+| path/to/file.py | 123 | error message |
+```
+
+### 2.4 Investigation/Research Results
+
+```markdown
+## Investigation: [Topic]
+
+### Findings
+1. Finding 1 (with file:line reference)
+2. Finding 2
+
+### Relevant Files
+- path/to/file1.py: description
+- path/to/file2.py: description
+
+### Conclusion
+[1-2 sentence summary]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Mandatory Fields by Task Type
+
+| Task Type | Required Fields |
+|-----------|-----------------|
+| Test Run | Pass/Fail count, failed sample details |
+| Benchmark | Key metrics (throughput, latency, memory) |
+| Build | Status, error locations |
+| Search | File paths, line numbers, brief context |
+| Verification | Before/After comparison, conclusion |
+
+---
+
+## 4. What to EXCLUDE
+
+**MUST NOT** include in results:
+
+| Exclude | Reason |
+|---------|--------|
+| Full stack traces | Extract error type + location only |
+| Model loading logs | Not relevant to result |
+| Progress bars / tqdm output | Noise |
+| Warnings (unless critical) | Noise |
+| Repeated successful outputs | "All X passed" is sufficient |
+| Timestamps | Usually not needed |
+| Device info (unless debugging hardware) | Noise |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Agent Prompt Template
+
+When spawning background agents, include this instruction:
+
+```
+When reporting results, use a structured summary format:
+- For tests: Pass rate, failed sample details (expected vs actual)
+- For benchmarks: Key metrics table
+- Do NOT include raw program output, logs, or verbose debug info
+- Focus on actionable information only
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Main Agent Instructions
+
+When spawning a background agent for testing:
+
+**Before** (verbose):
+```
+Run tests for samples 0-49 and report the output.
+```
+
+**After** (structured):
+```
+Run tests for samples 0-49. Report results as:
+- Total pass/fail count
+- For each failure: sample ID, expected value, actual value
+- Do NOT include raw program output or logs
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Examples
+
+### Bad (Wastes ~500 tokens):
+```
+The test output was:
+Loading model from ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct...
+Model loaded in 12.3s
+[niah_single_1] Sample 0: PASS | Expected: 1234567 | Got: : 1234567.<|eot_id|>
+[niah_single_1] Sample 1: PASS | Expected: 2345678 | Got: : 2345678.<|eot_id|>
+... (50 more lines) ...
+```
+
+### Good (Uses ~50 tokens):
+```
+## Test Results: niah_single_1 (Samples 0-49)
+
+**Pass Rate**: 50 / 50 (100%)
+
+All samples passed.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Token Savings Estimate
+
+| Result Type | Raw Output | Structured | Savings |
+|-------------|------------|------------|---------|
+| 50-sample test | ~1000 tokens | ~100 tokens | 90% |
+| Benchmark run | ~500 tokens | ~80 tokens | 84% |
+| Build failure | ~2000 tokens | ~200 tokens | 90% |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Integration
+
+This rule should be applied when:
+1. Spawning agents via Task tool
+2. Running background commands
+3. Processing results from completed agents
+
+Combine with `multi-gpu-debugging.md` for efficient parallel testing workflows.

+# Documentation Management
+
+## CLAUDE.md Content Policy
+
+**CLAUDE.md should only contain operational requirements:**
+- Environment setup (PYTHONPATH, GPU mutex)
+- Execution requirements (how to run tests/benchmarks)
+- Quick configuration reference
+- Documentation index (links to detailed docs)
+
+**Technical details should go to docs/:**
+- Architecture and design explanations
+- Implementation details and code flows
+- Debugging techniques
+- Memory analysis and profiling
+- Algorithm explanations
+
+## When Adding New Technical Content
+
+Follow this workflow:
+
+### Step 1: Analyze and Document
+
+If doing technical analysis (e.g., memory profiling):
+1. Calculate theoretical values using formulas
+2. Run actual tests to measure real values
+3. Compare theoretical vs actual (expect < 10% error for valid models)
+4. Document findings with both theory and empirical validation
+
+### Step 2: Create/Update docs/
+
+Create a new doc or update existing one in `docs/`:
+```
+docs/
+├── architecture_guide.md      # Core components, design, flows
+├── sparse_attention_guide.md  # Sparse attention methods
+├── layerwise_offload_memory_analysis.md  # Memory analysis
+├── debugging_guide.md         # Debugging techniques
+└── <new_topic>_guide.md       # New technical topic
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update CLAUDE.md Documentation Index
+
+Add entry to the Documentation Index table:
+```markdown
+| Document | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| [`docs/new_doc.md`](docs/new_doc.md) | Brief description |
+```
+
+### Step 4: Refactor if Needed
+
+If CLAUDE.md grows too large (> 150 lines), refactor:
+1. Identify technical details that can be moved
+2. Create appropriate doc in docs/
+3. Replace detailed content with reference link
+4. Keep only operational essentials in CLAUDE.md

+# GPU Memory Monitoring Rule
+
+## 强制规则
+
+**所有 GPU 内存监控任务必须使用 `gpu-monitor` agent**，禁止使用以下方式：
+
+| ❌ 禁止 | 原因 |
+|--------|------|
+| `nvidia-smi` 循环 + sleep | 阻塞主 agent，无法并行 |
+| 后台 bash 监控脚本 | 难以管理，输出混乱 |
+| 手动轮询 | 效率低，占用 context |
+
+## 使用方法
+
+```python
+# 启动 GPU 监控（后台运行）
+Task(
+    subagent_type="gpu-monitor",
+    prompt="Monitor GPU 0 with 0.5 second interval",
+    run_in_background=True
+)
+```
+
+## 参数说明
+
+| 参数 | 说明 | 示例 |
+|------|------|------|
+| GPU ID | 要监控的 GPU | `GPU 0`, `GPU 0,1` |
+| interval | 采样间隔 | `0.5 second`, `1 second` |
+| 目的 | 监控原因 | `for RULER benchmark test` |
+
+## 典型用法
+
+### 1. 单 GPU 基准测试
+```
+Monitor GPU 0 with 1 second interval for benchmark profiling
+```
+
+### 2. 调试 OOM
+```
+Monitor GPU 0 with 0.5 second interval to track memory peak during inference
+```
+
+### 3. 多 GPU 训练
+```
+Monitor GPU 0,1,2,3 with 2 second interval during training
+```
+
+## 获取结果
+
+监控结果自动写入 output_file，使用以下方式读取：
+
+```bash
+# 查看最新输出
+tail -50 /tmp/claude/.../tasks/<agent_id>.output
+
+# 查找峰值
+grep -i "peak\|max" /tmp/claude/.../tasks/<agent_id>.output
+```
+
+## 与测试并行
+
+gpu-monitor 在后台运行，不会阻塞测试：
+
+```python
+# 1. 启动监控（后台）
+Task(subagent_type="gpu-monitor", ..., run_in_background=True)
+
+# 2. 运行测试（前台）
+Bash("python tests/test_ruler.py ...")
+
+# 3. 测试完成后查看监控结果
+Bash("tail -50 <output_file>")

+## Needle Test Requirements (MANDATORY)
+
+When running `test_needle.py`, **ALWAYS** use these settings:
+
+1. **Enable offload**: `--enable-offload` is **REQUIRED**
+2. **Use 32K context**: `--input-len 32768` is **REQUIRED**
+
+### Standard Needle Test Command
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=X PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH \
+    python tests/test_needle.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --input-len 32768
+```
+
+### Why These Settings?
+
+| Setting | Reason |
+|---------|--------|
+| `--enable-offload` | Tests the CPU offload pipeline which is the main feature being developed |
+| `--input-len 32768` | 32K context properly exercises the chunked prefill/decode paths; 8K is too short to catch many issues |
+
+### Do NOT Use
+
+```bash
+# ❌ Wrong: Missing offload
+python tests/test_needle.py --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
+
+# ❌ Wrong: Too short (default 8K)
+python tests/test_needle.py --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct --enable-offload

+# Multi-GPU Debugging and Experimentation Rules
+
+## Purpose
+
+This rule governs GPU resource allocation and task execution strategy during debugging and experimentation on multi-GPU machines. The goal is to maximize debugging efficiency by:
+- Running long validations on minimal GPUs (1-2)
+- Using remaining GPUs for parallel hypothesis exploration
+- Executing only one task/dataset for full validation during debugging
+
+---
+
+## 1. Scenario Classification
+
+### 1.1 Long-Running Validation (Triggers Conservative Allocation)
+
+A task SHALL be classified as **long-running validation** if ANY of the following conditions apply:
+
+| Condition | Threshold |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Estimated runtime | > 20 minutes |
+| Sample count | > 50 samples per task |
+| Full dataset execution | Any complete validation.jsonl |
+| Full training/fine-tuning | Any training run |
+| Large-scale inference | > 10K tokens total |
+
+**Examples:**
+- Running all 100 samples of `niah_single_1`
+- Full RULER benchmark (13 tasks × 100 samples)
+- Complete model evaluation on any benchmark
+
+### 1.2 Exploratory / Fast-Iteration Work (Allows Full GPU Use)
+
+A task SHALL be classified as **exploratory** if ALL of the following apply:
+
+| Condition | Threshold |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Estimated runtime | < 10 minutes |
+| Sample count | ≤ 10 samples |
+| Purpose | Sanity check, minimal reproduction, hypothesis testing |
+
+**Examples:**
+- Testing 3-5 specific error samples
+- Single-batch inference for debugging
+- Verifying a code fix on minimal input
+- Profiling a single forward pass
+
+---
+
+## 2. GPU Allocation Strategy
+
+### 2.1 Core Allocation Rules
+
+| Task Type | GPU Allocation | Remaining GPUs |
+|-----------|----------------|----------------|
+| Long-running validation | 1 GPU (default), max 2 GPUs | Reserved for exploration |
+| Exploratory work | As needed, can use multiple | - |
+
+### 2.2 Mandatory Constraints
+
+1. **MUST NOT** occupy all available GPUs for a single long-running validation
+2. **MUST** reserve at least 50% of GPUs (minimum 2) for parallel exploration when ≥4 GPUs available
+3. **MUST** select GPUs based on this priority:
+   - Idle GPUs first (check with `nvidia-smi`)
+   - If load info unavailable, use lowest-numbered GPUs for validation
+4. **MUST** avoid resource conflicts:
+   - Each task uses unique `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`
+   - Each task uses unique output directories
+   - Log files include GPU ID in filename
+
+### 2.3 GPU Selection Algorithm
+
+```
+IF num_available_gpus >= 4:
+    validation_gpus = 1 (or 2 if justified)
+    exploration_gpus = remaining GPUs
+ELSE IF num_available_gpus == 3:
+    validation_gpus = 1
+    exploration_gpus = 2
+ELSE IF num_available_gpus == 2:
+    validation_gpus = 1
+    exploration_gpus = 1
+ELSE:
+    validation_gpus = 1
+    exploration_gpus = 0 (sequential exploration)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Task / Dataset Selection Policy
+
+### 3.1 Single-Task Validation Rule
+
+During debugging, when a long-running validation is required:
+
+- **MUST** execute only ONE task/dataset fully
+- **MUST NOT** run all tasks unless explicitly requested or conditions in Section 4 are met
+
+### 3.2 Task Selection Priority
+
+Select the single task based on this priority order:
+
+| Priority | Criterion | Example |
+|----------|-----------|---------|
+| 1 | Task most likely to reproduce the bug | If error occurs in `niah_single_1`, use that |
+| 2 | Smallest task covering critical paths | `niah_single_1` (100 samples) vs `niah_multikey_3` |
+| 3 | Task with known error samples | Use task with documented failure cases |
+| 4 | Most representative task | Single-key before multi-key for basic validation |
+
+### 3.3 Other Tasks Handling
+
+Tasks not selected for full validation:
+- **MAY** receive lightweight sanity checks (≤5 samples)
+- **MUST NOT** receive full end-to-end execution by default
+- **SHOULD** be noted in execution plan for future validation
+
+---
+
+## 4. Scale-Up Conditions
+
+Expansion to more GPUs or multiple full tasks is **ALLOWED ONLY IF**:
+
+| Condition | Justification Required |
+|-----------|------------------------|
+| Single-task validation completed successfully | Confirm fix works on one task first |
+| Critical bug identified and fixed | Need cross-task verification |
+| Cross-dataset consistency required | Clear technical justification needed |
+| User explicitly requests full-scale | User override |
+
+### 4.1 Default Behavior
+
+- **DEFAULT**: Conservative, non-expansive
+- **MUST** ask for confirmation before scaling up
+- **MUST** document reason for scale-up in execution plan
+
+---
+
+## 5. Execution Plan Transparency
+
+### 5.1 Mandatory Pre-Execution Output
+
+Before starting any validation, **MUST** output an execution plan containing:
+
+```markdown
+## Execution Plan
+
+### Task Classification
+- Type: [Long-running validation / Exploratory]
+- Reason: [Why classified this way]
+
+### GPU Allocation
+- Validation GPU(s): [GPU IDs]
+- Reason: [Why these GPUs selected]
+- Exploration GPU(s): [GPU IDs]
+- Exploration tasks: [List of parallel hypotheses to test]
+
+### Task Selection
+- Full validation task: [Task name]
+- Reason: [Why this task selected]
+- Other tasks: [Skipped / Sanity-check only]
+
+### Stopping Criteria
+- Time limit: [X minutes]
+- Success metric: [e.g., accuracy > 90%]
+- Error threshold: [e.g., stop if >20 samples fail]
+
+### Expected Output
+- [What results will be produced]
+```
+
+### 5.2 Progress Checkpoints
+
+For long-running validations, **SHOULD** report progress at:
+- 25% completion
+- 50% completion
+- 75% completion
+- Final results
+
+---
+
+## 6. Configuration Defaults
+
+### 6.1 Default Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
+|-----------|---------------|-------------|
+| `LONG_RUNNING_THRESHOLD_MINUTES` | 20 | Runtime threshold for classification |
+| `LONG_RUNNING_SAMPLE_THRESHOLD` | 50 | Sample count threshold |
+| `MAX_VALIDATION_GPUS` | 2 | Maximum GPUs for long validation |
+| `MIN_EXPLORATION_GPUS` | 2 | Minimum GPUs reserved for exploration (when ≥4 available) |
+| `EXPLORATION_SAMPLE_LIMIT` | 10 | Max samples for exploratory tests |
+| `SANITY_CHECK_SAMPLES` | 5 | Samples for non-selected tasks |
+
+### 6.2 User Override
+
+Users can override defaults by specifying in their request:
+- "Use all GPUs for validation"
+- "Run all tasks"
+- "Increase validation GPUs to N"
+
+---
+
+## 7. Async Monitoring (CRITICAL)
+
+### 7.1 Non-Blocking Principle
+
+**MUST NOT** block the main agent with `sleep` commands waiting for results:
+- ❌ `sleep 300 && check_results` (blocks main agent)
+- ✅ Launch background tasks, continue thinking, check periodically
+
+### 7.2 Continuous GPU Utilization
+
+**MUST** maximize GPU utilization:
+- When an agent completes a task, immediately assign new work
+- Use `run_in_background: true` for all long-running agents
+- Check agent completion via system notifications, not polling
+
+### 7.3 Monitoring Strategy
+
+```
+CORRECT PATTERN:
+1. Launch agents in background with run_in_background: true
+2. Continue analysis, planning, or hypothesis generation
+3. When agent completion notification arrives, process results
+4. Immediately assign new tasks to freed GPUs
+
+WRONG PATTERN:
+1. Launch agents
+2. sleep 300  # BLOCKS EVERYTHING!
+3. Check results
+4. GPU sits idle during sleep
+```
+
+### 7.4 Between-Task Work
+
+While waiting for agents, the main agent SHOULD:
+- Analyze code for additional hypotheses
+- Prepare next batch of tests
+- Update documentation with interim findings
+- Plan fix implementations based on emerging patterns
+
+### 7.5 Idle GPU Utilization (CRITICAL)
+
+**MUST** utilize idle GPUs for exploratory tests while waiting:
+
+```
+WRONG PATTERN:
+1. Launch 2 agents on GPU 0-1
+2. Wait for completion  ← GPU 2-5 sit idle!
+3. Process results
+
+CORRECT PATTERN:
+1. Launch 2 agents on GPU 0-1 for main validation
+2. IMMEDIATELY launch exploratory tests on GPU 2-5:
+   - Test alternative configurations
+   - Verify edge cases
+   - Run sanity checks on other datasets
+   - Profile performance bottlenecks
+3. Continue spawning new tasks as GPUs become free
+4. Process results as they arrive
+```
+
+**Idle GPU Detection**:
+```bash
+# Check which GPUs are free
+nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,utilization.gpu,memory.used --format=csv
+```
+
+**Exploratory Test Ideas** (when main validation is running):
+
+| GPU State | Suggested Task |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Idle during single-task validation | Test same task with different config |
+| Idle after quick test completes | Run related task (e.g., multikey after single-key) |
+| Idle during long benchmark | Run profiling or memory analysis |
+| Multiple GPUs idle | Parallelize hypothesis testing |
+
+**Anti-Pattern**:
+- ❌ "I'll wait for the 100-sample test to finish before doing anything else"
+- ✅ "While GPU 0-1 run the 100-sample test, I'll use GPU 2-5 to test configs X, Y, Z"
+
+---
+
+## 8. Code Modification Policy (CRITICAL)
+
+### 8.1 Evidence-Before-Action Principle
+
+**MUST NOT** modify code until sufficient evidence has been gathered:
+
+| Phase | Action | Code Modification |
+|-------|--------|-------------------|
+| Hypothesis Formation | Identify potential causes | ❌ NO |
+| Evidence Gathering | Run targeted tests | ❌ NO |
+| Pattern Analysis | Analyze test results | ❌ NO |
+| Root Cause Confirmation | Validate with multiple tests | ❌ NO |
+| Solution Design | Design fix based on evidence | ❌ NO |
+| **Implementation** | Apply targeted fix | ✅ YES |
+
+### 8.2 Minimum Evidence Requirements
+
+Before proposing ANY code modification:
+
+1. **Reproducibility**: Bug must be reproducible with specific test cases
+2. **Isolation**: Root cause must be isolated (not symptoms)
+3. **Multiple Data Points**: At least 3 independent test runs confirming the issue
+4. **Counter-Evidence**: Attempted to disprove the hypothesis
+5. **Mechanism Understanding**: Clear understanding of WHY the bug occurs
+
+### 8.3 Main Agent Behavior
+
+The main agent **SHOULD**:
+- Keep thinking and analyzing while background agents run tests
+- Formulate and refine hypotheses based on incoming results
+- Document findings in `findings.md` as evidence accumulates
+- Wait for sufficient test coverage before proposing fixes
+
+The main agent **MUST NOT**:
+- Rush to modify code after seeing first failure
+- Propose fixes based on speculation
+- Change multiple things at once "just to be safe"
+- Assume correlation implies causation
+
+### 8.4 Evidence Documentation Template
+
+Before any code modification, document in `findings.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## Proposed Fix: [Brief Description]
+
+### Evidence Summary
+- Test A: [Result] - supports/contradicts hypothesis
+- Test B: [Result] - supports/contradicts hypothesis
+- Test C: [Result] - supports/contradicts hypothesis
+
+### Root Cause Analysis
+- What: [Specific bug behavior]
+- Where: [File:line or function]
+- Why: [Mechanism explanation]
+- Confidence: [High/Medium/Low]
+
+### Alternative Explanations Ruled Out
+1. [Alternative A]: Ruled out because [reason]
+2. [Alternative B]: Ruled out because [reason]
+
+### Proposed Change
+- File: [path]
+- Change: [description]
+- Expected Impact: [what should improve]
+```
+
+### 8.5 Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| See error → immediately edit code | See error → gather more data → analyze → then edit |
+| Fix based on single test failure | Reproduce failure 3+ times, understand pattern |
+| Change code "to see what happens" | Form hypothesis first, design targeted experiment |
+| Modify multiple files simultaneously | Isolate changes, verify each independently |
+| Skip documentation of findings | Document every significant finding before changing code |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Example Scenario
+
+### Setup
+- **Machine**: 8 GPUs (GPU 0-7)
+- **Task**: Debug RULER chunked attention 20% error rate
+- **Available tasks**: 6 RULER tasks (niah_single_1/2/3, niah_multikey_1/2/3)
+- **Estimated full validation time**: ~2 hours for all tasks
+
+### Execution Plan Output
+
+```markdown
+## Execution Plan
+
+### Task Classification
+- Type: Long-running validation
+- Reason: Full validation of 100 samples × 6 tasks would take ~2 hours
+
+### GPU Allocation
+- Validation GPU(s): GPU 0 (1 GPU)
+- Reason: Single GPU sufficient for sequential 100-sample validation
+- Exploration GPU(s): GPU 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (7 GPUs)
+- Exploration tasks:
+  1. GPU 1: Test 2-slot vs 4-slot ring buffer on error samples
+  2. GPU 2: Test N-way merge implementation
+  3. GPU 3: Test LSE precision fix
+  4. GPU 4: Profile merge accumulation error
+  5. GPU 5: Test with ruler_64k dataset (5 samples)
+  6. GPU 6: Test decode boundary conditions
+  7. GPU 7: Reserved for ad-hoc hypothesis testing
+
+### Task Selection
+- Full validation task: niah_single_1
+- Reason: Has documented error samples (19 known failures), smallest single-key task
+- Other tasks: Sanity-check only (5 samples each) after fix verified
+
+### Stopping Criteria
+- Time limit: 60 minutes for full validation
+- Success metric: Error rate < 10% (down from 20%)
+- Error threshold: Pause if new error pattern emerges (>5 consecutive failures)
+
+### Expected Output
+- Accuracy comparison: before vs after fix
+- Error sample analysis: which samples still fail
+- Hypothesis validation: which exploration branch identified the fix
+```
+
+### Execution Flow
+
+1. **GPU 0**: Runs full `niah_single_1` validation (100 samples, ~40 min)
+2. **GPU 1-7**: Run parallel exploration tasks (each ~5-15 min)
+3. **Checkpoint at 50%**: Report GPU 0 progress + any discoveries from exploration
+4. **On discovery**: If exploration GPU finds fix, pause validation, apply fix, restart
+5. **Completion**: Report final results, decide if scale-up needed
+
+---
+
+## 10. Quick Reference Checklist
+
+Before starting any debugging validation:
+
+- [ ] Classified task type? (Long-running vs Exploratory)
+- [ ] If long-running: Limited to 1-2 GPUs?
+- [ ] If long-running: Selected single task for full validation?
+- [ ] Remaining GPUs allocated for exploration?
+- [ ] Execution plan output with all required sections?
+- [ ] Stopping criteria defined?
+- [ ] No user override requested? (Default conservative behavior)
+
+Before proposing any code modification:
+
+- [ ] Bug reproducible with specific test cases?
+- [ ] Root cause isolated (not just symptoms)?
+- [ ] At least 3 independent test runs confirming the issue?
+- [ ] Alternative explanations ruled out?
+- [ ] Mechanism of bug clearly understood?
+- [ ] Evidence documented in findings.md?
+
+---
+
+## 11. Rule Violations
+
+The following actions **VIOLATE** this rule:
+
+1. Using all 6+ GPUs for a single 100-sample validation
+2. Running full validation on all tasks without completing single-task first
+3. Starting long validation without outputting execution plan
+4. Not reserving GPUs for exploration when ≥4 GPUs available
+5. Scaling up without meeting conditions in Section 4
+6. **Modifying code before gathering sufficient evidence** (Section 8)
+7. Proposing fixes based on single test failure or speculation
+8. Changing multiple code locations simultaneously without isolation testing
+
+---
+
+## 12. Integration with Other Rules
+
+This rule works alongside:
+- `gpu-testing.md`: GPU type detection and basic allocation
+- `planning-with-files.md`: Progress tracking for long validations
+- `testing.md`: Test script conventions
+
+When conflicts arise, this rule takes precedence for debugging scenarios.

+# Nsys Profiling Rule
+
+## 强制规则
+
+**所有 nsys profiling 任务必须使用 `scripts/profile_offload.sh` 脚本**，禁止直接运行 nsys 命令。
+
+| 禁止 | 原因 |
+|------|------|
+| `nsys profile python tests/test_ruler.py ...` | 参数不一致，输出路径混乱 |
+| 手动构造 nsys 命令 | 容易遗漏关键参数 |
+
+## 使用方法
+
+```bash
+# 基本用法（默认 4 slots）
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh
+
+# 指定 GPU slots 数量
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 指定 sample
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --sample 5
+
+# 指定 dataset
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --dataset niah_single_1
+
+# 禁用 offload（对比测试）
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --no-offload
+
+# 组合参数
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8 --sample 0 --gpu 1
+```
+
+## 参数说明
+
+| 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| `--dataset` | `niah_single_1` | RULER 任务名称 |
+| `--sample` | `0` | 样本索引 |
+| `--gpu` | `0` | 使用的 GPU |
+| `--num-gpu-blocks` | `4` | GPU ring buffer slots 数量 |
+| `--no-offload` | - | 禁用 CPU offload |
+
+## 输出文件
+
+输出文件自动生成到 `results/nsys/` 目录：
+
+```
+results/nsys/ruler_<dataset>_sample<index>_offload_<slots>slots_<timestamp>.nsys-rep
+```
+
+示例：`ruler_niah_single_1_sample0_offload_8slots_20260127_031500.nsys-rep`
+
+## 查看结果
+
+```bash
+# GUI 查看
+nsight-sys results/nsys/<filename>.nsys-rep
+
+# 命令行统计
+nsys stats --report cuda_api_sum results/nsys/<filename>.nsys-rep
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/<filename>.nsys-rep
+```
+
+## 典型工作流
+
+### 1. 对比不同 slots 数量
+
+```bash
+# 测试 4 slots（默认）
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 4
+
+# 测试 8 slots
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 对比结果
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/*4slots*.nsys-rep
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/*8slots*.nsys-rep
+```
+
+### 2. 分析 pipeline overlap
+
+```bash
+# 生成 profile
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 用 nsight-sys GUI 查看 CUDA HW timeline
+# 检查 H2D 和 flash_fwd_kernel 是否 overlap
+```

+# Planning with Files Rule
+
+## Git 管理政策
+
+**重要**：Planning 文件已从 Git 管理中排除，不会被提交。
+
+### 已配置的 .gitignore 规则
+
+```gitignore
+# Planning-with-files temporary files
+task_plan.md
+findings.md
+progress.md
+task_plan_*.md
+findings_*.md
+progress_*.md
+```
+
+### 为什么排除这些文件
+
+1. **临时性质**：计划文件是会话级别的临时文件，不应进入版本控制
+2. **避免冲突**：多实例并行开发时，不同任务的计划文件会产生冲突
+3. **保持仓库整洁**：这些文件只对当前任务有用，不需要历史记录
+
+### 如果不小心已经 commit 了
+
+```bash
+# 从 git 中移除（保留本地文件）
+git rm --cached task_plan.md findings.md progress.md
+git commit -m "chore: remove planning files from git tracking"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 自动清理旧计划文件
+
+**重要**：每次开始新的复杂任务使用 planning-with-files 时，先删除旧的计划文件。
+
+### 使用前执行以下命令
+
+```bash
+# 在项目根目录执行，删除旧的计划文件
+cd /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm
+rm -f task_plan.md findings.md progress.md
+rm -f task_plan_*.md findings_*.md progress_*.md
+```
+
+### 为什么需要这个规则
+
+1. **避免混淆**：不同任务有不同计划，旧的计划文件会干扰新任务
+2. **保持简洁**：只保留当前任务的计划文件
+3. **自动清理**：无需手动检查文件内容，直接删除即可
+
+### 使用 planning-with-files 的完整流程
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: 清理旧计划文件
+rm -f task_plan.md findings.md progress.md
+
+# Step 2: 启动 planning-with-files 技能
+# 在 Claude 中调用 /planning-with-files 或 Skill tool
+
+# Step 3: 技能会自动创建新的计划文件
+# - task_plan.md (或 task_plan_<任务名>.md)
+# - findings.md (或 findings_<任务名>.md)
+# - progress.md (或 progress_<任务名>.md)
+```
+
+### 文件命名建议
+
+| 场景 | 文件命名 | 示例 |
+|------|----------|------|
+| 通用任务 | task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md | 临时调试任务 |
+| 特定功能 | task_plan_<feature>.md | task_plan_xattn.md |
+| Bug 修复 | task_plan_bug_<name>.md | task_plan_bug_offload.md |
+
+### 注意事项
+
+- 计划文件存储在**项目根目录**，不是技能目录
+- 技能目录：`/home/zijie/.claude/plugins/cache/planning-with-files/...`
+- 项目目录：`/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/`
+- 每个任务完成后，可以选择保留或删除计划文件

+# Sparse Policy 代码规范
+
+## 基类要求 (MANDATORY)
+
+每个 `SparsePolicy` 子类 **必须** 遵守以下要求：
+
+### 1. 声明 supports_prefill / supports_decode 标志
+
+```python
+class MyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True   # 是否支持 prefill 阶段
+    supports_decode = True    # 是否支持 decode 阶段
+```
+
+### 2. 实现三个抽象方法
+
+| 方法 | 必须实现 | 说明 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| `select_blocks()` | ✅ | 选择要加载的 blocks |
+| `compute_chunked_prefill()` | ✅ | Prefill attention 计算 |
+| `compute_chunked_decode()` | ✅ | Decode attention 计算 |
+
+### 3. 不支持的阶段必须 assert False
+
+如果 `supports_prefill = False`，则 `compute_chunked_prefill()` 内部 **必须** `assert False`：
+
+```python
+class DecodeOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = False
+    supports_decode = True
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        assert False, "DecodeOnlyPolicy does not support prefill phase"
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        # 正常实现
+        ...
+```
+
+同理，如果 `supports_decode = False`：
+
+```python
+class PrefillOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = False
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        # 正常实现
+        ...
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        assert False, "PrefillOnlyPolicy does not support decode phase"
+```
+
+### 4. FullAttentionPolicy 必须同时支持两个阶段
+
+```python
+class FullAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = True
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        # 完整实现
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        # 完整实现
+```
+
+---
+
+## CPU-GPU 通信规范
+
+### 规则：所有通信必须通过 OffloadEngine
+
+在 `compute_chunked_*` 方法中，**禁止** 直接使用 `torch.Tensor.copy_()` 或 `.to(device)`：
+
+```python
+# ✅ 正确：使用 OffloadEngine 的 ring buffer 方法
+offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(slot)
+
+# ✅ 正确：使用 prefill buffer
+k, v = offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)
+
+# ✅ 正确：使用 decode buffer
+decode_k = offload_engine.decode_k_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+decode_v = offload_engine.decode_v_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+
+# ❌ 错误：直接使用 torch 通信
+gpu_tensor.copy_(cpu_tensor)
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to("cuda")
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.cuda()
+```
+
+### 原因
+
+1. **流同步**：OffloadEngine 内部管理 CUDA streams，确保正确的同步
+2. **Pipeline 优化**：OffloadEngine 实现了 ring buffer pipeline
+3. **资源管理**：OffloadEngine 管理 GPU buffer slots，避免内存碎片
+4. **一致性**：统一的接口便于调试和维护

 # Testing
 
-## Test File Guidelines
+## Test Code Style
 
-### Naming Convention
+所有测试代码遵循以下风格：
 
-- All test files must be named `test_*.py`
-- Example: `test_offload_engine.py`, `test_ring_buffer.py`
-
-### Purpose
-
-Tests are **educational scripts** for understanding module behavior, NOT traditional unit tests:
-- Focus on demonstrating how modules work
-- Show the flow and interaction between components
-- Help developers understand implementation details
-
-### Code Style
-
-1. **Script-based structure**: Write tests as executable scripts, not pytest-style functions
-2. **Utility functions**: Extract reusable steps as helper functions at the top of the file
-3. **Main flow as script**: The actual test/demonstration logic runs as top-level script code
+### 文件结构

-### Comments
+### 核心原则
 
-- Keep comments concise and clear
-- Only add comments where the code isn't self-explanatory
-- Use section headers (`# === Section ===`) to organize logical blocks
+| 原则 | 说明 |
+|------|------|
+| **最小化 print** | 只在最后输出 `PASSED`，不打印中间结果 |
+| **结构化数据** | 使用可预测的输入（全 1、偶奇交替等）便于手算验证 |
+| **注释说明验证逻辑** | 在 assert 前用注释解释预期值的计算方式 |
+| **分段用 `====`** | 用 `# ============` 分隔参数、输入、各步骤 |
+| **assert 验证** | 用 assert 而不是 print 比较结果 |
 
-### Output
+### 输出规范
 
-- **Minimize print statements** - the code should be self-explanatory
-- Only print a final "PASSED" message at the end
-- Use `assert` for verification instead of printing results
-- If the user needs explanation, they will ask
+```python
+# ✅ 正确
+assert actual == expected, f"xxx: {actual} != {expected}"
+print("test_xxx: PASSED")
+
+# ❌ 错误
+print(f"输出: {output}")
+print(f"预期: {expected}, 实际: {actual}")
+```
+
+### 参数注释
+
+```python
+# ✅ 正确: 注释说明约束条件
+seq_len = 512       # Triton 要求 seq_len >= stride * BLOCK_M
+segment_size = 128  # 必须 >= block_size
+
+# ❌ 错误: 无意义的注释
+seq_len = 512  # 序列长度
+```
+
+### 验证逻辑注释
+
+```python
+# ✅ 正确: 解释计算过程
+# 验证: 反对角线求和
+# Q[奇]*K[偶] + Q[偶]*K[奇] = 2*1 + 1*2 = 4，共 stride/2 对
+expected = (2*1 + 1*2) * (stride // 2) * head_dim
+
+# ❌ 错误: 只写公式不解释
+expected = 4 * 2 * 128
+```

 ## 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:
-   ```bash
-   nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid,name,used_memory --format=csv,noheader
-   ```
+### Benchmarks (`bench*.py`) - Exclusive GPU Access Required
 
-2. **If processes are running on GPU**:
-   - Wait and retry every 10 seconds until GPU is free
-   - Use this polling loop:
-     ```bash
-     while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
+Before running any `bench*.py` script, Claude MUST wait for exclusive GPU access:
+
+```bash
+# Check and wait for GPU to be free
+while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
   echo "GPU busy, waiting 10s..."
   sleep 10
-     done
-     ```
-
-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
+done
 ```
 
-**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
+### Other Scripts (tests, examples) - No Special Requirements
 
-## Local Package Installation for Multi-Instance
+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.
 
-**CRITICAL**: After ANY code modification in the `nanovllm/` directory, you MUST reinstall the package before running tests or benchmarks:
+## 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
-pip install -e . --prefix=./.local --no-deps
+# 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
 ```
 
-Then run with PYTHONPATH:
-```bash
-PYTHONPATH=./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH python <script.py>
-```
-
-**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances on different worktrees, do NOT use `pip install -e .` globally as it will affect other instances. Instead, use local installation:
-
-1. **Install to worktree-local directory**:
-   ```bash
-   pip install -e . --prefix=./.local --no-deps
-   ```
-
-2. **Set PYTHONPATH before running any Python command**:
-   ```bash
-   export PYTHONPATH=./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages:$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

-└── 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)

-| Triton Merge | 160.7 | 19.9% |
-| Other | 42.1 | 5.3% |
-| **Total** | **806.0** | **100%** |

-## 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)
-```
-
-**Tested block sizes**: 512, 1024, 4096, 8192 - all pass.
+**Benefits**:
+- No `pip install` required
+- Code changes take effect immediately (no reinstall needed)
+- Each worktree is completely isolated

-3. **N-way Pipeline with Dedicated Streams** (2025-12-25)
-   - Per-slot transfer streams for parallel H2D across slots
-   - Dedicated compute stream (avoids CUDA default stream implicit sync)
-   - N-way pipeline using all available slots (not just 2-slot double buffering)
-   - **2.0x improvement**: 7.2k → 14.1k tok/s (16K tokens prefill)
-
-### Current Performance 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. ~~**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)

-# Chunked Prefill Bug Debug Summary
-
-## Problem
-`test_needle.py --enable-offload --input-len 8192` fails with garbage output.
-
-The model generates completely wrong tokens instead of the expected "7492".
-
-## Investigation Progress
-
-### 1. Stream Synchronization Fix (Completed)
-- Replaced Triton `store_kvcache` kernel with pure PyTorch operations
-- Moved `store_kvcache` to `compute_stream` in chunked prefill mode
-- Added sync: `compute_stream.wait_event(offload_done)` after per-layer offload
-- Added sync: `default_stream.wait_stream(compute_stream)` before return
-
-### 2. KV Cache Alignment Verification (Completed)
-Created alignment tests to compare K/V tensors between torch reference and nanovllm:
-
-**RoPE Alignment:**
-- RoPE implementations match perfectly (max_diff=0.002, cosine ~1.0)
-- Confirmed RoPE is NOT the cause of the bug
-
-**K/V Cache Alignment (Chunk 0):**
-- Cosine similarity: ~1.0 for all layers
-- Max diff: 2-7 (grows linearly with position, characteristic of FP16 precision)
-- Mean diff: < 0.001
-- **Conclusion: K/V cache offload is working correctly**
-
-### 3. Layer Output Divergence Analysis (Completed)
-Created per-chunk layer output comparison:
-
-**Chunk 0 (tokens 0-4096):**
-- All layers pass with excellent cosine similarity (0.999+)
-- Max diff grows in later layers but within acceptable range
-
-**Chunk 1 (tokens 4096-8192):**
-- Layers 0-19: OK (cosine ~1.0)
-- Layers 20-27: Diverge (cosine 0.83-0.96, max_diff up to 114)
-- Divergence correlates with later transformer layers
-
-### 4. Critical Discovery: Single-Chunk Offload Also Fails
-**Key finding:** Even with input_len=2048 (single chunk, no chunked attention), the model produces garbage output with CPU offload enabled.
-
-```
-# Without offload: PASSES
-python tests/test_needle.py --input-len 2048
-# Output: "7492" (correct)
-
-# With offload: FAILS
-python tests/test_needle.py --enable-offload --input-len 2048
-# Output: "The Ble White Th G Lopsiswin..." (garbage)
-```
-
-**This proves the bug is NOT in:**
-- Chunked attention logic (merge_attention_outputs)
-- Multi-chunk KV loading
-- Ring buffer pipeline
-
-**The bug IS in:**
-- The decode path when CPU offload is enabled
-- How prefilled KV is loaded/used during decode
-
-### 5. Decode Path Analysis (In Progress)
-The decode path in CPU offload mode:
-1. Prefill writes KV to GPU, offloads to CPU
-2. Decode loads prefilled KV from CPU via `_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline`
-3. Attend to prefilled KV + accumulated decode tokens
-4. Merge results
-
-**Observations:**
-- `prefilled_blocks` set is empty after decode (should contain block IDs)
-- CPU cache has valid data (reasonable mean/std values)
-- Decode buffer has zeros (decode tokens not being stored correctly?)
-
-## Current Status
-
-### Working
-- Stream synchronization fixes
-- K/V cache offload to CPU (verified alignment)
-- RoPE implementation
-- Chunked prefill attention for first chunk
-
-### Not Working
-- Decode with CPU offload (even for single-chunk inputs)
-- Multi-chunk attention (divergence in later layers for chunk 1)
-
-## Next Steps
-1. Debug why `prefilled_blocks` is empty after decode
-2. Check if decode path correctly loads KV from CPU
-3. Verify decode buffer is being written correctly
-4. Compare decode attention outputs between offload and non-offload modes
-

-- `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` - CPU-GPU transfer engine
-- `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py` - KV cache management with `prefilled_blocks`
-- `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` - Prefill/decode orchestration
-
-## Hypothesis
-The decode path fails because:
-1. `prefilled_blocks` is not being tracked correctly, causing `get_prefilled_cpu_blocks()` to return empty
-2. OR the decode attention is not correctly loading/using the prefilled KV from CPU
-3. OR there's a stream synchronization issue specific to decode path

+# Architecture Guide
+
+This document describes the core components and design of nano-vLLM, with detailed focus on the CPU offload system.
+
+## Core Components
+
+### LLMEngine (`llm_engine.py`)
+Main entry point that runs the prefill-decode loop. Manages the overall inference workflow.
+
+### ModelRunner (`model_runner.py`)
+- Loads model weights
+- Allocates KV cache
+- Manages CUDA graphs for decode acceleration
+
+### Scheduler (`scheduler.py`)
+Two-phase scheduling system:
+- **Prefill phase**: Processes prompt tokens
+- **Decode phase**: Generates output tokens autoregressively
+
+### BlockManager (`block_manager.py`)
+- Paged attention implementation
+- Prefix caching using xxhash
+- Default block size: 4096 tokens
+
+### Attention (`layers/attention.py`)
+- FlashAttention for efficient computation
+- Chunked methods for CPU offload mode
+
+---
+
+## 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

+### 32K 上下文

+| 128K | 512 MB (4 blocks) | 16384 MB (128 blocks) | 16896 MB |
+
+## 分析
+
+### XAttention 性能特点
+
+1. **32K 上下文**: XAttention 比 Full 慢 26%
+2. **128K 上下文**: XAttention 比 Full 慢 16%
+
+随着上下文增长，XAttention 的相对性能有所提升（74% → 84%），但仍未超过 Full Attention。
+
+### 原因分析
+
+1. **tau=0.95 阈值较高**: 需要覆盖 95% 累积注意力，实际跳过的 block 较少
+2. **估计开销**: `xattn_estimate_chunked` 需要对每个 chunk 计算稀疏 mask
+3. **BSA kernel overhead**: Block sparse kernel 有额外的 mask 处理和索引开销
+4. **Offload 瓶颈**: CPU→GPU 传输是主要瓶颈，稀疏注意力节省的是计算而非传输
+
+### 适用场景
+
+XAttention BSA 更适合以下场景：
+- 更长的上下文（256K+），稀疏收益更明显
+- 计算密集型任务（非 offload 模式），传输不是瓶颈
+- 较低的 tau 阈值（如 0.8），增加稀疏性
+
+## 运行命令
+
+```bash
+# Full Attention (32K)

+
+# XAttention BSA (32K)

+# CPU Offload 优化策略
+
+本文档记录 CPU Offload 场景下的性能优化策略分析，包括实际可行的方案和前沿研究方向。
+
+## 问题回顾
+
+根据 [CPU 调度延迟分析](cpu_scheduling_latency_analysis.md)，当前 chunked attention pipeline 的主要问题：
+
+| 指标 | 当前值 | 理论值 |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| Flash kernel 执行时间 | ~138 μs | - |
+| Flash kernel 间隔 | ~942 μs | ~211 μs (仅 H2D + merge) |
+| GPU 利用率 | **12.8%** | **39.5%** (理论上限) |
+| CPU 调度空闲占比 | **77-81%** | 0% |
+
+**瓶颈根源**：每个 block 都经过完整的 Python 循环，导致大量 CPU 调度延迟。
+
+---
+
+## 优化方案一：调大 Chunk Size（推荐）
+
+### 核心洞察
+
+**Merge 多个小 chunk 和直接使用大 chunk 是等效的**：
+
+```
+方案 A: Merge 4 个小 chunks
+[H2D 2K][H2D 2K][H2D 2K][H2D 2K] → concat → [Flash 8K] → merge
+
+方案 B: 直接用大 chunk
+[H2D 8K] → [Flash 8K] → merge
+
+计算结果完全等效！
+```
+
+### 收益分析
+
+| 指标 | 小 chunk (2K) × 4 | 大 chunk (8K) × 1 |
+|------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| H2D 次数 | 4 | 1 |
+| Flash kernel 调用 | 4 | 1 |
+| Merge 调用 | 4 | 1 |
+| Python 循环次数 | 4 | 1 |
+| CPU 调度开销 | 4 × ~300μs = 1200μs | 1 × ~300μs = 300μs |
+
+**本质**：CPU 调度延迟问题的根源是循环次数太多，调大 chunk size 直接减少循环次数。
+
+### Trade-off
+
+1. **GPU 内存增加**
+   - 2K chunk: 每 slot ~4MB (K+V)
+   - 8K chunk: 每 slot ~16MB (K+V)
+   - 4 slots = 64MB，对 80GB A100 影响很小
+
+2. **单次 H2D 时间变长**
+   - H2D 8K ≈ 350μs
+   - Flash 8K ≈ 550μs
+   - 因为 Flash > H2D，pipeline 仍然有效
+
+### 配置方法
+
+```bash
+# 测试不同 block size
+python bench_offload.py --kvcache-block-size 2048   # 基准
+python bench_offload.py --kvcache-block-size 4096   # 2x
+python bench_offload.py --kvcache-block-size 8192   # 4x
+```
+
+---
+
+## 优化方案二：CUDA Graph（适用于非 Attention 部分）
+
+### CUDA Graph 在 Offload 场景的局限性
+
+CUDA Graph 的前提：所有操作在 capture 时确定，数据地址固定。
+
+**Offload 场景的现实**：
+1. **H2D 源地址动态** - 每次从不同的 CPU block 加载
+2. **加载决策在运行时** - 哪些 block 需要加载是动态的
+3. **CPU 必须协调** - H2D 和 Compute 的同步需要 CPU 参与
+
+```
+Offload 场景：
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  数据在 CPU，需要动态加载                 │
+│  [H2D_i] → [Compute] → [H2D_{i+n}] → ...│
+│  ↑ 动态、CPU 必须参与调度                 │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+即使用 Graph：
+Python: [wait_h2d] [replay] [launch_h2d] [wait_h2d] [replay] ...
+        ↑ CPU 参与           ↑ CPU 参与   ↑ CPU 参与
+
+CPU 调度开销仍然存在，Graph 只优化了中间的 compute 部分。
+```
+
+**结论**：CUDA Graph 不是 Offload 场景的银弹。
+
+### 适用场景：MLP 和 Projection 层
+
+LLM 每层的计算流程：
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  [LayerNorm] → [QKV Proj] → [Attention] → [O Proj] → [Add]  │
+│                                  ↑                          │
+│                             KV Offload                      │
+│  [LayerNorm] → [MLP: gate + up + down] → [Add]              │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+| 组件 | 涉及 Offload | 能用 CUDA Graph |
+|------|-------------|-----------------|
+| LayerNorm | ❌ | ✅ |
+| QKV Projection | ❌ | ✅ |
+| **Attention** | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Output Projection | ❌ | ✅ |
+| MLP (FFN) | ❌ | ✅ |
+
+**只有 Attention 涉及动态 KV Cache 加载，其余都是"纯计算"，可以用 CUDA Graph。**
+
+### 实现方案
+
+```python
+class OptimizedLayer:
+    def __init__(self, layer):
+        # Graph 1: Attention 之前
+        self.graph_pre_attn = capture([
+            layer.input_layernorm,
+            layer.self_attn.q_proj,
+            layer.self_attn.k_proj,
+            layer.self_attn.v_proj,
+        ])
+
+        # Graph 2: Attention 之后 + MLP
+        self.graph_post_attn = capture([
+            layer.self_attn.o_proj,
+            # residual add
+            layer.post_attention_layernorm,
+            layer.mlp.gate_proj,
+            layer.mlp.up_proj,
+            layer.mlp.down_proj,
+            # residual add
+        ])
+
+    def forward(self, hidden_states, kv_cache):
+        # Pre-attention (CUDA Graph)
+        self.graph_pre_attn.replay()
+
+        # Attention with offload (动态，不能用 graph)
+        attn_output = chunked_attention_with_offload(q, kv_cache)
+
+        # Post-attention + MLP (CUDA Graph)
+        self.graph_post_attn.replay()
+```
+
+### 收益估算
+
+MLP 每层典型操作 launch 开销：
+- `gate_proj`, `up_proj`, `act_fn`, `gate * up`, `down_proj`, `residual add`
+- 每个操作 ~30-50μs launch 开销，总计 ~200μs/层
+- 用 CUDA Graph：~30μs/层
+
+**32 层 × 170μs 节省 ≈ 5.4ms**
+
+---
+
+## 优化方案三：前沿研究方向
+
+### 1. InfiniGen - 投机预取 (OSDI'24)
+
+**核心思想**：不需要加载所有 KV，只预取"重要"的 token。
+
+```
+关键洞察：相邻层的 attention pattern 高度相似
+         ↓
+用第 L 层的 attention score 预测第 L+1 层需要哪些 token
+         ↓
+只预取 top-k 重要的 KV entries（而不是全部）
+```
+
+**技术实现**：
+- 用当前层的 Q 和下一层的部分 K 做"预演"
+- 预测下一层的 attention 分布
+- 异步预取预测的重要 token
+- **减少 PCIe 带宽浪费，而不是加速传输**
+
+**效果**：最高 **3x 加速**
+
+**参考**：[InfiniGen (OSDI'24)](https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi24/presentation/lee)
+
+### 2. ShadowKV - 低秩压缩 + Sparse Offload (ICML'25 Spotlight)
+
+**核心思想**：Key 压缩存 GPU，Value offload 到 CPU，只加载 1.56% 的 KV。
+
+```
+Pre-filling:
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Key Cache → SVD 低秩压缩 → 保留在 GPU          │
+│  Value Cache → Offload 到 CPU                   │
+│  计算每个 chunk 的 landmark (均值)               │
+│  识别 outlier tokens → 保留在 GPU               │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+Decoding:
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  用 landmarks 快速估计 attention score          │
+│  只加载 top-k 重要的 Value (1.56% sparse)       │
+│  结合 GPU 上的 outliers 计算最终结果            │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**效果**：6x 更大 batch size，**3.04x 吞吐提升**
+
+**参考**：[ShadowKV (ByteDance)](https://github.com/ByteDance-Seed/ShadowKV)
+
+### 3. L2 Cache 异步预取 (2025)
+
+**核心思想**：利用 GPU L2 Cache 做预取，在计算时预取下一批 KV。
+
+```
+传统：
+Compute:  [Flash_i]        [Flash_{i+1}]
+H2D:              [H2D_{i+1}]
+                  ↑ 等待
+
+L2 Prefetch：
+Compute:  [Flash_i  + Prefetch_{i+1} to L2]  [Flash_{i+1} L2 hit]
+          ↑ 计算时利用空闲 memory bandwidth 预取
+```
+
+**技术**：
+- 在 Flash Attention kernel 内部发起预取指令
+- 利用计算时的空闲 memory bandwidth
+- 下一次访问直接 L2 hit
+
+**效果**：**2.15x attention kernel 效率**，1.97x 端到端吞吐
+
+**参考**：[Asynchronous KV Cache Prefetching (2025)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.06319)
+
+### 4. KVPR - I/O-Aware 调度 (ACL'25)
+
+**核心思想**：计算最优的 recompute vs offload 比例。
+
+```
+权衡：
+- Recompute: 重新计算 KV（用 GPU 算力换内存）
+- Offload: 从 CPU 加载（用 PCIe 带宽换算力）
+
+KVPR: 根据当前负载动态决定最优比例
+      + 预取技术重叠数据传输和计算
+```
+
+**参考**：[KVPR (ACL'25)](https://aclanthology.org/2025.findings-acl.997.pdf)

+### 推荐优先级
+
+| 优先级 | 方案 | 核心优化 | 实现复杂度 | 预期收益 |
+|--------|------|---------|-----------|---------|
+| **P0** | 调大 chunk size | 减少循环次数 | 极低（改配置） | 2-4x |

+# CPU 调度延迟分析
+
+## 问题概述
+
+在分析 nsys profile 时发现，chunked attention pipeline 中存在大量的 **CPU 调度延迟**，导致 GPU 利用率显著下降。
+
+## 观察数据
+
+### 测试环境
+- GPU: NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB
+- 模型: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
+- 测试: RULER niah_single_1, 64K context
+- Profile 文件: `ruler_8slots_test.nsys-rep`
+- 时间段: 92.982s - 93.038s
+
+### Kernel 执行时间
+
+| Kernel | 典型执行时间 |
+|--------|-------------|
+| flash_fwd_kernel | ~138 μs |
+| H2D memcpy (2MB) | ~87 μs |
+| merge_lse_kernel | ~3.5 μs |
+| merge_output_kernel | ~34 μs |
+
+### 操作间隙分析
+
+从 cuda_gpu_trace 观察到的间隙：
+
+```
+Start (ms)     Dur (μs)   Gap (μs)   Type

+```
+
+### Flash Kernel 间隙分解
+
+| 间隙 | 总时间 | 有效工作时间 | 空闲时间 |
+|------|--------|-------------|---------|
+| Flash 1 → Flash 2 | 769 μs | ~174 μs (2x H2D) | ~595 μs (77%) |
+| Flash 2 → Flash 3 | 1092 μs | ~211 μs (merge + H2D) | ~881 μs (81%) |
+| Flash 3 → Flash 4 | 965 μs | ~211 μs (merge + H2D) | ~754 μs (78%) |
+
+**关键发现**: 每个 flash kernel 之间约 **77-81% 的时间是 CPU 调度空闲**。
+
+## 间隙来源分析
+
+### 1. CPU 调度延迟类型
+
+| 转换 | 典型延迟 | 原因 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| Kernel 结束 → 下一个 Kernel 开始 | 100-400 μs | CPU 准备参数、调用 CUDA driver |
+| Flash 结束 → H2D 开始 | ~233 μs | Python 代码执行 + CUDA launch |
+| H2D 结束 → Flash 开始 | ~360 μs | 同步等待 + kernel launch |
+| Flash 结束 → merge 开始 | ~302 μs | Python 代码执行 |
+
+### 2. 延迟产生的代码位置
+
+```python
+# full_policy.py: compute_chunked_prefill
+
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    # 1. 等待 H2D 完成 (同步点)
+    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(current_slot)  # ← 可能引入延迟
+
+    # 2. 获取 KV 数据
+    k_block, v_block = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(current_slot)
+
+    # 3. 调用 flash attention (kernel launch)
+    block_out, block_lse = flash_attn_with_kvcache(...)  # ← CPU 调度延迟
+
+    # 4. merge 操作
+    merge_output(...)  # ← CPU 调度延迟
+    merge_lse(...)     # ← CPU 调度延迟
+
+    # 5. 发起下一个 H2D (异步)
+    offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(next_slot, ...)  # ← CPU 调度延迟
+```
+
+### 3. 为什么 H2D 之间间隙小
+
+注意到连续的 H2D memcpy 之间间隙只有 ~2.7 μs，这是因为：
+- 它们在同一个 stream 上连续发起
+- CUDA driver 可以批量处理
+- 没有 Python 代码介入
+
+## GPU 利用率计算
+
+基于观察数据：
+
+| 指标 | 值 |
+|------|-----|
+| Flash kernel 平均执行时间 | 138 μs |
+| Flash kernel 平均间隔 | 942 μs |
+| Flash kernel GPU 利用率 | 138 / (138 + 942) = **12.8%** |
+
+如果消除 CPU 调度延迟（仅保留必要的 H2D + merge）：
+
+| 指标 | 值 |
+|------|-----|
+| 必要间隔 (2x H2D + merge) | ~211 μs |
+| 理论 GPU 利用率 | 138 / (138 + 211) = **39.5%** |
+
+**潜在提升**: 3x GPU 利用率
+
+## 优化方向
+
+### 1. CUDA Graph
+将整个 block 处理流程编译为 CUDA Graph，消除重复的 kernel launch 开销。
+
+```python
+# 伪代码
+graph = torch.cuda.CUDAGraph()
+with torch.cuda.graph(graph):
+    # 预录制 flash + merge 操作
+    block_out, block_lse = flash_attn_with_kvcache(...)
+    merge_output(...)
+    merge_lse(...)
+
+# 运行时只需 replay
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    graph.replay()  # 单次 launch，无 Python 介入
+```
+
+### 2. 自定义 Triton Kernel
+将 flash + merge 融合为单个 kernel，减少 kernel launch 次数。
+
+### 3. C++ Extension
+将 Python 循环移到 C++ 层，减少 Python 解释器开销。
+
+### 4. 流水线重叠优化
+确保 H2D 传输与前一个 block 的计算完全重叠：
+
+```
+Block 0: [H2D slot0] [Flash slot0] [merge]
+Block 1:            [H2D slot1]   [Flash slot1] [merge]
+Block 2:                         [H2D slot2]   [Flash slot2] [merge]
+```
+
+## 验证方法
+
+### 1. 使用 nsys 分析间隙
+
+```bash
+# 生成 profile
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 查看 kernel trace
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_trace --format csv <file>.nsys-rep | \
+    awk -F',' 'NR>1 && $1 >= START && $1 <= END'
+```
+
+### 2. 计算间隙
+
+```python
+# 从 trace 数据计算
+prev_end = start + duration
+gap = next_start - prev_end
+```

+# CUDA Graph 内存机制指南
+
+本文档基于对 Qwen3-4B 模型的实际测试，详细分析 CUDA Graph 在 LLM 推理中的内存行为。
+
+## 概述
+
+CUDA Graph 通过捕获 GPU kernel 执行序列并重放来减少 CPU 开销，从而提升推理性能。本指南重点分析其内存特性。
+
+## 性能提升
+
+| 模式 | Decode 吞吐量 | 说明 |
+|------|--------------|------|
+| Eager | ~25 tok/s | 每次推理重新调度 kernel |
+| CUDA Graph | ~70 tok/s | 重放预录制的 kernel 序列 |
+| **加速比** | **2.80x** | |
+
+## 内存阶段分析
+
+基于 Qwen3-4B (bf16) 在 RTX 3090 上的测试结果：
+
+### 各阶段内存变化
+
+| 阶段 | 内存 (MB) | 增量 | 说明 |
+|------|-----------|------|------|
+| 模型加载 | 7672 | +7672 | 模型权重 |
+| StaticCache 分配 | 7816 | +144 | **主要开销** |
+| Warmup (3次) | 7825 | +8 | 激活值缓存 |
+| Graph 捕获 | 7833 | +8 | 存储 kernel 序列 |
+| Graph Replay | 7833 | **0** | 零额外分配 |
+
+### 关键发现
+
+1. **Graph 捕获开销很小**：仅约 8 MB，用于存储 kernel 调用序列
+
+2. **StaticCache 是主要开销**：
+   ```
+   size = num_layers × 2 × batch_size × num_kv_heads × max_cache_len × head_dim × dtype_size
+   ```
+   - Qwen3-4B (1024 tokens): 36 × 2 × 1 × 8 × 1024 × 128 × 2 = **144 MB**
+
+3. **Graph Replay 零分配**：所有张量地址在 capture 时已固定，replay 只重放 kernel
+
+## Cache 长度与内存关系
+
+| Cache 长度 | 总开销 | 每 1K tokens |
+|------------|--------|--------------|
+| 256 | 53 MB | 206 MB |
+| 512 | 89 MB | 174 MB |
+| 1024 | 161 MB | 157 MB |
+| 2048 | 305 MB | 149 MB |
+| 4096 | 593 MB | 145 MB |
+
+内存开销与 cache 长度近似线性关系，每 1K tokens 约需 145-160 MB。
+
+## CUDA Graph 工作原理
+
+### 核心要求：固定内存地址
+
+CUDA Graph 要求所有张量在 capture 时地址固定，之后只能通过 `copy_()` 更新值：
+
+```python
+# 分配固定地址的张量
+static_input_ids = torch.zeros(batch_size, 1, dtype=torch.long, device=device)
+static_cache_position = torch.tensor([0], dtype=torch.long, device=device)
+
+# Capture 时使用这些张量
+with torch.cuda.graph(graph):
+    outputs = model(input_ids=static_input_ids, ...)
+
+# Replay 时通过 copy_() 更新值（地址不变）
+static_input_ids.copy_(new_token)       # 更新输入
+static_cache_position.fill_(position)   # 更新位置
+graph.replay()                          # 重放
+```
+
+### StaticCache vs DynamicCache
+
+| 特性 | DynamicCache | StaticCache |
+|------|--------------|-------------|
+| 内存分配 | 按需增长 | 预分配固定大小 |
+| 地址稳定性 | 不稳定 | 稳定 |
+| CUDA Graph 兼容 | ❌ | ✅ |
+| 内存效率 | 高（按需） | 低（预分配） |
+
+### 典型工作流程
+
+```
+1. Prefill (Eager)
+   └── 使用 DynamicCache 处理变长输入
+
+2. 创建 StaticCache
+   └── 预分配 max_cache_len 大小的缓存
+
+3. 复制 Prefill KV 到 StaticCache
+   └── 将 DynamicCache 内容拷贝到固定地址
+
+4. Warmup (3次)
+   └── 确保所有 lazy initialization 完成
+
+5. Capture Graph
+   └── 录制 decode 的 kernel 序列
+
+6. Decode Loop
+   └── 更新输入 → graph.replay() → 读取输出
+```
+
+## 多 Batch Size Graph 的内存问题
+
+如果为多个 batch size 分别捕获 graph（如 nanovllm 的设计），内存会快速增长：
+
+| Batch Size | StaticCache (1024 tokens) | 累计 |
+|------------|---------------------------|------|
+| 1 | 144 MB | 144 MB |
+| 2 | 288 MB | 432 MB |
+| 4 | 576 MB | 1,008 MB |
+| 8 | 1,152 MB | 2,160 MB |
+| 16 | 2,304 MB | 4,464 MB |
+| ... | ... | ... |
+
+这是因为每个 batch size 需要独立的 StaticCache。实际系统（如 nanovllm）使用 PagedAttention 共享 KV cache 来避免此问题。
+
+## 测试脚本
+
+提供了测试脚本用于验证以上结论：
+
+```bash
+# 基本内存分析
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_cudagraph_memory.py
+
+# 指定 cache 长度
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_cudagraph_memory.py --max-cache-len 2048
+
+# 测试 cache 长度缩放
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_cudagraph_memory.py --test-scaling
+```
+
+性能对比演示：
+
+```bash
+# Eager vs CUDA Graph 性能对比
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/data/test_cudagraph_demo.py --mode both
+```
+
+## 总结
+
+| 项目 | 结论 |
+|------|------|
+| 性能提升 | ~2.8x decode 吞吐量 |
+| Graph 捕获开销 | ~8 MB（很小） |
+| 主要内存开销 | StaticCache（与 cache_len 成正比） |
+| Replay 内存 | 零额外分配 |
+| 核心要求 | 固定张量地址 |

+# CUDA Graph Support for CPU Offload Mode
+
+This document describes the CUDA graph implementation for the CPU offload decode path, which provides significant performance improvements for decode throughput.
+
+## Overview
+
+CUDA graphs capture a sequence of GPU operations and replay them with minimal CPU overhead. In offload mode, we capture per-layer graphs for the decode path, achieving **4x decode throughput improvement**.
+
+## Performance Results
+
+| Metric | Eager Mode | CUDA Graph | Improvement |
+|--------|------------|------------|-------------|
+| Decode Throughput | ~12 tok/s | ~50 tok/s | **4.2x** |
+| TPOT (Time per output token) | ~80ms | ~19ms | **4.2x** |
+| Prefill Throughput | ~8000 tok/s | ~8000 tok/s | Same |
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Why Standard CUDA Graph Capture Doesn't Work
+
+The standard `capture_cudagraph()` captures the PagedAttention decode path:
+- Uses block tables for scattered KV cache access
+- `Attention.k_cache/v_cache` point to PagedAttention buffers
+
+In offload mode, the decode path is different:
+- Uses contiguous ring buffers for KV cache
+- `Attention.k_cache/v_cache` dynamically point to ring buffer slices
+- H2D transfers interleaved with compute
+
+### Per-Layer Graph Design
+
+We capture one CUDA graph per transformer layer:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                    Offload Decode with CUDA Graphs          │

+│                                                             │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Ring Buffer Mapping
+
+Each layer maps to a ring buffer slot:
+```python
+buffer_idx = layer_id % num_kv_buffers
+```
+
+With 4 buffers and 36 layers:
+- Layer 0, 4, 8, ... use buffer 0
+- Layer 1, 5, 9, ... use buffer 1
+- Layer 2, 6, 10, ... use buffer 2
+- Layer 3, 7, 11, ... use buffer 3
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Graph Capture (`capture_offload_cudagraph`)
+
+Location: `model_runner.py:1075-1164`
+
+```python
+def capture_offload_cudagraph(self):
+    # Fixed-address tensors for graph I/O
+    hidden_states = torch.randn(1, hidden_size, ...)
+    residual = torch.randn(1, hidden_size, ...)
+    layer_outputs = torch.zeros(1, hidden_size, ...)
+    layer_residual = torch.zeros(1, hidden_size, ...)
+
+    for layer_id in range(num_layers):
+        buffer_idx = layer_id % num_buffers
+
+        # Set Attention cache to ring buffer slice
+        attn_module.k_cache = ring_buffer[buffer_idx:buffer_idx+1]
+        attn_module.v_cache = ring_buffer[buffer_idx:buffer_idx+1]
+
+        # Set context for contiguous mode
+        set_context(is_prefill=False, slot_mapping=...,
+                    context_lens=..., block_tables=None)
+
+        # Warmup and capture
+        with torch.cuda.graph(graph, pool):
+            out_h, out_r = layer(positions, hidden_states, residual)
+            layer_outputs.copy_(out_h)
+            layer_residual.copy_(out_r)
+
+        # Propagate state for next layer's capture
+        hidden_states.copy_(layer_outputs)
+        residual.copy_(layer_residual)
+```
+
+Key design decisions:
+1. **Fixed-address tensors**: Graph inputs/outputs use pre-allocated tensors
+2. **Include copy in graph**: `layer_outputs.copy_(out_h)` is captured
+3. **State propagation**: Update hidden_states between layer captures
+4. **Random initialization**: Use `randn` instead of zeros for realistic distributions
+
+### Graph Replay (`run_layerwise_offload_decode`)
+
+Location: `model_runner.py:844-1031`
+
+```python
+use_cuda_graph = not self.enforce_eager and hasattr(self, 'offload_graphs')
+
+if use_cuda_graph:
+    # Use fixed-address tensors
+    graph_vars["positions"][0] = len(seq) - 1
+    graph_vars["slot_mapping"][0] = context_len
+    graph_vars["context_lens"][0] = context_len + 1
+    graph_vars["hidden_states"].copy_(embedding)
+    graph_vars["residual"].zero_()
+
+for layer_id in range(num_layers):
+    # H2D and buffer setup (outside graph)
+    offload_engine.wait_buffer_load(current_buffer)
+    attn_module.k_cache = ring_buffer[current_buffer:current_buffer+1]
+    set_context(...)
+
+    if use_cuda_graph:
+        # Replay graph
+        self.offload_graphs[layer_id].replay()
+        torch.cuda.current_stream().synchronize()
+
+        # Copy outputs to inputs for next layer
+        if layer_id < num_layers - 1:
+            graph_vars["hidden_states"].copy_(graph_vars["layer_outputs"])
+            graph_vars["residual"].copy_(graph_vars["layer_residual"])
+    else:
+        # Eager execution
+        hidden_states, residual = layer(positions, hidden_states, residual)
+```
+
+Key points:
+1. **Synchronization required**: `synchronize()` after each graph replay
+2. **Manual state propagation**: Copy layer_outputs to hidden_states between replays
+3. **H2D outside graph**: Ring buffer loads happen before graph replay
+
+## Limitations and Future Work
+
+### Current Limitations
+
+1. **Per-layer sync overhead**: Each layer requires synchronization
+2. **No kernel fusion across layers**: Each layer is a separate graph
+3. **Fixed batch size**: Only supports batch_size=1 for offload
+
+### Future Optimization: Full-Decode Graph
+
+Potential improvement: Capture entire decode step as single graph
+- Complete all H2D loads before graph
+- Single graph covers all 36 layers
+- Better kernel fusion, less CPU overhead
+- More complex to implement (handle buffer rotation inside graph)
+
+## Testing

+# 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

+# Nsys "Wrong Event Order" Bug 调试记录
+
+## 问题描述
+
+使用 `nsys profile` 对 nanovllm 的 CPU offload 模式进行性能分析时，无法生成 `.nsys-rep` 文件，报错：
+
+```
+Importer error status: Importation failed.
+Wrong event order has been detected when adding events to the collection:
+new event ={ StartNs=21569539222 StopNs=21569672388 ... Type=48 }
+last event ={ StartNs=22046804077 StopNs=22046805343 ... Type=48 }
+```
+
+## 环境信息
+
+- **nsys 版本**: 2023.4.4.54-234433681190v0
+- **CUDA**: 12.4
+- **问题状态**: nsys 已知 bug，2024.2+ 版本已修复
+
+## 调试过程
+
+### 阶段 1：确定触发条件
+
+使用 bisect 脚本 (`tests/test_nsys_bisect.py`) 逐步测试：
+
+| Stage | 描述 | 结果 |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 1 | CUDA init | ✅ |
+| 2 | Import nanovllm | ✅ |
+| 3 | Create LLM (offload) | ✅ |
+| 4 | 短 prompt 生成 | ✅ |
+| **5** | **长 prompt (~64K) prefill** | ❌ |
+
+**结论**：问题出在长 prompt 的 chunked prefill 流程。
+
+### 阶段 2：定位具体组件
+
+在 `_chunked_prefill_attention` 方法中逐步注释代码：
+
+| 组件 | 文件位置 | 结果 |
+|------|----------|------|
+| 整个方法 (return zeros) | `attention.py:167` | ✅ |
+| `select_blocks()` | `attention.py:217` | ✅ |
+| `offload_prefill_buffer_async()` | `attention.py:241-248` | ✅ |
+| `compute_chunked_prefill()` | `attention.py:225-235` | ❌ |
+
+**结论**：问题出在 `compute_chunked_prefill` 内部。
+
+### 阶段 3：定位 Ring Buffer Pipeline
+
+在 `full_policy.py` 中进一步定位：
+
+| 组件 | 代码行 | 结果 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| Current chunk attention | 191-198 | ✅ |
+| **Historical block loading (ring buffer)** | 133-189 | ❌ |
+
+**根因确认**：Ring buffer pipeline 的多 stream 操作触发了 nsys bug。
+
+## 根本原因
+
+### 触发 Bug 的代码
+
+```python
+# nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py:133-189
+
+# 多 slot pipeline 模式
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    current_slot = load_slots[block_idx % num_slots]
+
+    # 等待 slot 的 transfer stream 完成
+    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(current_slot)
+
+    # 在 compute_stream 上执行 attention
+    with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):
+        prev_k, prev_v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(current_slot)
+        prev_o, prev_lse = flash_attn_with_lse(...)
+        offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(current_slot)
+
+    # 异步发起下一个 block 的加载
+    if next_block_idx < num_blocks:
+        offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(next_slot, layer_id, next_cpu_block_id)
+```
+
+### Stream 结构
+
+```
+slot_transfer_streams[0] ─┐
+slot_transfer_streams[1] ─┼─ 4 个 transfer streams
+slot_transfer_streams[2] ─┤
+slot_transfer_streams[3] ─┘
+                          │
+                          ▼ wait/record 同步
+                          │
+compute_stream ───────────┘
+```
+
+这种 4+1 stream 的复杂同步模式导致 nsys 2023.4.4 版本的事件时间戳排序算法出错。
+
+### 为什么简单多 stream 测试无法复现
+
+我们尝试用简单的测试代码 (`tests/test_multistream_nsys.py`) 复现问题：
+
+- 4-8 streams, 2000+ iterations: ✅ 成功
+- 32 threads + multi-stream: ✅ 成功
+- >64k CUDA operations: ✅ 成功
+
+但都无法触发 bug。原因是实际代码中的 stream 同步模式更复杂：
+1. 跨 stream 的 event wait/record
+2. 与 FlashAttention kernel 的交互
+3. 长时间运行（~50 秒）累积大量事件
+
+## 解决方案
+
+### 方案 1：升级 nsys（推荐）
+
+```bash
+# 下载 nsys 2024.2+ 版本
+# https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-systems
+```
+
+根据 [NVIDIA 论坛](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nsys-profiler-wrong-event-order/264881)，此 bug 在 2024.2 版本已修复。
+
+### 方案 2：使用 .qdstrm 文件
+
+即使导入失败，`.qdstrm` 文件仍然生成：
+
+```bash
+# 生成的文件
+results/nsys/ruler_niah_single_1_sample0_offload_*.qdstrm
+
+# 尝试用 GUI 直接打开
+nsight-sys <file>.qdstrm
+```
+
+GUI 可能有更好的容错能力。
+
+### 方案 3：使用 PyTorch Profiler
+
+```python
+from torch.profiler import profile, ProfilerActivity
+
+with profile(activities=[ProfilerActivity.CPU, ProfilerActivity.CUDA]) as prof:
+    # your code
+
+prof.export_chrome_trace("trace.json")  # chrome://tracing 查看
+```
+
+### 方案 4：临时禁用 ring buffer pipeline
+
+在 `full_policy.py` 中临时使用单 slot 同步模式（仅用于调试）：
+
+```python
+# 强制使用单 slot 模式
+if len(load_slots) == 1 or True:  # 添加 "or True"
+    # 同步模式，不会触发 nsys bug
+    ...
+```
+
+## 复现步骤
+
+### 环境准备
+
+```bash
+cd /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm
+```
+
+### 运行 Bisect 脚本
+
+```bash
+# Stage 5 会触发 bug
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH \
+    nsys profile --trace=cuda,nvtx,osrt --force-overwrite=true \
+    -o /tmp/bisect python tests/test_nsys_bisect.py --stage 5
+```
+
+### 验证修复
+
+```bash
+# 临时在 full_policy.py 中跳过 historical block loading
+# 将第 133 行改为: if False and cpu_block_table:
+
+# 重新运行，应该成功
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH \
+    nsys profile --trace=cuda,nvtx,osrt --force-overwrite=true \
+    -o /tmp/bisect_fixed python tests/test_nsys_bisect.py --stage 5
+
+# 检查是否生成 .nsys-rep
+ls -la /tmp/bisect_fixed.nsys-rep
+```

+# 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)

+# RULER 32K Chunked Offload Accuracy Issue
+
+**Status**: ✅ **RESOLVED** (Last Updated: 2026-01-21)
+**Branch**: `tzj/minference`
+**Severity**: RESOLVED - State leakage fixed
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 修复完成
+
+### 问题根因
+
+**连续请求间的 CPU KV Cache 状态泄露**
+
+`OffloadEngine.reset()` 清除了 GPU buffers 但**没有清除 CPU cache**，导致前一个请求的 KV cache 数据残留在 CPU 内存中，污染后续请求。
+
+### 修复实施 (2026-01-21)
+
+#### Fix 1: CPU Cache 清理
+**文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
+
+```python
+def reset(self) -> None:
+    # 清除 GPU buffers (原有)
+    self.k_cache_gpu.zero_()
+    self.v_cache_gpu.zero_()
+    self.decode_k_buffer.zero_()
+    self.decode_v_buffer.zero_()
+    self.prefill_k_buffer.zero_()
+    self.prefill_v_buffer.zero_()
+
+    # 🔧 新增：清除 CPU cache (关键修复)
+    self.k_cache_cpu.zero_()
+    self.v_cache_cpu.zero_()
+
+    self.pending_events.clear()
+```
+
+#### Fix 2: Decode 状态跟踪清理
+**文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`
+
+```python
+def deallocate(self, seq: Sequence) -> None:
+    # ... release blocks ...
+    seq.num_cached_tokens = 0
+    seq.block_table.clear()
+
+    # 🔧 新增：清理 decode 位置跟踪
+    self.clear_decode_tracking(seq)
+
+    if self.offload_engine is not None:
+        self.offload_engine.reset()
+```
+
+### 验证结果 (2026-01-21)
+
+| 测试任务 | 修复前 | 修复后 | 改善 |
+|---------|--------|--------|------|
+| niah_single_1 (100样本) | ~80% | **94%** | +14% ✅ |
+| niah_single_1 (50样本) | - | **100%** | ✅ |
+| niah_multikey_1 (50样本) | - | **96%** | ✅ |
+| niah_multikey_2 (50样本) | - | **100%** | ✅ |
+
+### 结论
+
+1. **CPU cache 泄露已修复** - 批量测试准确率从 ~80% 提升到 94%
+2. **剩余 ~6% 错误是模型固有限制** - 失败样本 (17, 37, 52, 87, 91, 94) 与模型能力相关，非状态泄露
+3. **Chunked attention 算法正确** - niah_single_1 可达 100% 准确率
+
+### 修复前后对比
+
+| 状态 | 组件 | 修复前 | 修复后 |
+|------|------|--------|--------|
+| CPU KV Cache | `k_cache_cpu`, `v_cache_cpu` | ❌ 不清理 | ✅ 清理 |
+| Decode 跟踪 | `_decode_start_pos`, `_prefill_len` | ❌ 不清理 | ✅ 清理 |

+
+## 历史问题记录
+
+以下是原始问题分析，保留作为参考。
+
+### Problem (Original)
+
+When running RULER benchmark with 32K context length using the chunked offload mechanism in `tzj/minference` branch, accuracy degradation is observed compared to the `xattn_stride8` baseline.
+
+**Note**: An error is counted when the expected answer is **NOT contained** in the model's output. If the expected answer appears anywhere in the output, it's considered correct.
+
+### Error Statistics (Corrected)
+
+| Task | Total Samples | Errors | Error Rate |
+|------|--------------|--------|------------|
+| niah_single_1 | 100 | 19 | 19% |
+| niah_single_2 | 100 | 23 | 23% |
+| niah_single_3 | 100 | 8 | **8%** |
+| niah_multikey_1 | 100 | 16 | 16% |
+| niah_multikey_2 | 100 | 30 | 30% |
+| niah_multikey_3 | 100 | 24 | **24%** |
+| **TOTAL** | **600** | **120** | **20%** |
+
+### Critical Failure Pattern
+
+**niah_multikey_2** shows the highest error rate at **30%**:
+- Many samples show pattern loops and repetitions ("is:", digit patterns)
+- Suggests systematic chunk boundary handling issues
+
+**niah_single_3** and **niah_multikey_3** have much lower error rates than initially reported:
+- niah_single_3: Only 8 errors (not 54)
+- niah_multikey_3: Only 24 errors (not 54)
+- Most UUID samples were correctly identified despite minor formatting differences
+
+### Error Examples

+## Solution Attempts
+
+### Attempt 1: Increase GPU Slots (4-slot Configuration)
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-20
+
+**Rationale**: Based on Hypothesis 2 (Ring Buffer Race Condition), increasing GPU slots should reduce memory contention during CPU↔GPU transfers.
+
+**Configuration Changes**:
+```python
+# Before (2-slot)
+num_gpu_blocks = 2
+tokens_per_chunk = 1024
+compute_size = 1 block
+
+# After (4-slot)
+num_gpu_blocks = 4
+tokens_per_chunk = 2048
+compute_size = 2 blocks
+```
+
+**Offload Log**:
+```
+[INFO] Unified Ring Buffer: 4 slots total
+[INFO]   Prefill: all slots as ring buffer [0..3]
+[INFO]   Decode: slot[0] as decode_slot, slots[1..3] for loading
+[INFO] KV Cache allocated (Chunked Offload mode):
+       GPU=4 blocks (512.0MB), CPU=32 blocks (4096.0MB)
+[INFO] Chunked Offload config: compute_size=2 blocks,
+       tokens_per_chunk=2048, block_size=1024
+```
+
+**Results Comparison**:
+
+| Task | 2-slot Accuracy | 4-slot Accuracy | Improvement |
+|------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| niah_single_1 | 94% (94/100) | **98%** (98/100) | +4% ✅ |
+| niah_multikey_3 | 48% (48/100) | **56%** (56/100) | +8% ✅ |
+
+**Test Duration**:
+- niah_single_1: 40 minutes (2402s)
+- niah_multikey_3: 100 minutes (6008s)
+
+**Key Findings**:
+
+1. ✅ **Significant Improvement**: 4-slot configuration reduced error rate for both tasks
+2. ✅ **Validation**: Supports Hypothesis 2 that ring buffer contention contributes to errors
+3. ❌ **Not Fully Resolved**: 2 failures still occur in niah_single_1 with same error pattern
+
+**Remaining Failures** (niah_single_1):
+
+| Sample | Expected | Actual | Error Type |
+|--------|----------|--------|------------|
+| 17 | `2344047` | `23440447` | Extra digit |
+| 40 | `6171716` | `6171717161711716` | Number repetition |
+
+**Critical Observation**: Sample 40 shows the **exact same number repetition error** (`6171717161711716`) as in the 2-slot configuration, confirming the root cause is partially mitigated but not eliminated by reducing ring buffer contention.
+
+**Conclusion**:
+- Increasing GPU slots from 2 to 4 **reduces but does not eliminate** KV cache corruption
+- The remaining errors suggest additional factors contribute to the problem
+- Further investigation needed into:
+  - Request-to-request KV cache isolation
+  - Layer-wise offload state management
+  - Potential timing issues in async transfer completion

+
+## Analysis
+
+### Possible Root Causes
+
+1. **Chunk Boundary Handling**: Chunk size of 1024 may cause precision loss at chunk boundaries during attention computation
+
+2. **KV Cache Transfer**: Ring buffer with only 2 slots may cause race conditions or data corruption during high-frequency CPU↔GPU transfers
+
+3. **Attention State Accumulation**: The `chunked_attention_varlen` function uses online softmax with log-sum-exp tracking - numerical instability may accumulate over 32 chunks
+
+4. **Layer-wise Offload Interaction**: Chunked prefill with layer-wise CPU offload may have interference in memory management
+
+5. **Position Encoding**: RoPE embeddings may have precision issues when computed in chunks vs. full sequence
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Hypotheses
+
+### Hypothesis 1: Chunk Boundary Precision Loss ⚠️ HIGH LIKELIHOOD
+
+**Problem**: 32K context with 1024 token chunks means 32 chunk boundaries. At each boundary:
+- Attention scores must be merged using online softmax (`logsumexp`)
+- Small numerical errors accumulate exponentially across 32 operations
+- The `logsumexp` operation: `log(exp(A) + exp(B))` can lose precision when A and B have very different magnitudes
+
+**Evidence supporting this hypothesis**:
+- Error patterns show corrupted outputs that look like "partial" answers (e.g., `:151:52` instead of `9874152`)
+- This suggests some chunks produce correct output while others are corrupted
+- niah_single_3 and niah_multikey_3 (54% error) may have different input patterns that exacerbate boundary issues
+
+**Test**: Compare chunk sizes (512 vs 1024 vs 2048 vs 4096). If boundary precision is the issue:
+- Smaller chunks → more boundaries → higher error rate
+- Larger chunks → fewer boundaries → lower error rate
+
+---
+
+### Hypothesis 2: Ring Buffer Race Condition ✅ PARTIALLY VALIDATED
+
+**Problem**: With only 2 ring buffer slots and 32 chunks:
+- Each chunk must: load previous chunks → compute → store to CPU → free slot
+- Slot 0 is used for decoding, leaving only Slot 1 for prefill loading
+- With high-frequency transfers, GPU/CPU may access the same slot simultaneously
+
+**Code location**: `offload_engine.py`:
+```python
+def get_write_slot_for_prefill(self, chunk_idx: int) -> int:
+    return chunk_idx % self.num_ring_slots  # Only 2 slots!
+```
+
+**Evidence supporting this hypothesis**:
+- The "number repetition" errors (e.g., `:3613613613...`) look like memory corruption
+- Repetition patterns suggest reading stale/corrupted data from a previous chunk
+- 2 slots is extremely aggressive for 32 chunks - could cause slot reuse before data is safely offloaded
+
+**Test Completed** (2026-01-20):
+- ✅ Increased `num_gpu_blocks` from 2 to 4
+- ✅ Error rate decreased significantly (niah_single_1: 94%→98%, niah_multikey_3: 48%→56%)
+- ⚠️ Some errors remain with same pattern (e.g., Sample 40: `6171717161711716`)
+
+**Conclusion**: Ring buffer contention is **a contributing factor** but not the sole cause. Additional mechanisms also contribute to KV cache corruption.
+
+---
+
+### Hypothesis 3: Position Embedding Chunk Mismatch ⚠️ MEDIUM LIKELIHOOD
+
+**Problem**: RoPE (Rotary Position Embedding) requires absolute positions:
+- Token at position 1024 should get RoPE(1024), not RoPE(0) relative to chunk
+- If positions reset at each chunk boundary, attention sees wrong positional relationships
+- For 32K context, tokens at positions 30720-32768 would have incorrect RoPE
+
+**Code to check**: In `model_runner.py`, are positions computed as:
+```python
+# WRONG: resets at chunk boundary
+positions = torch.arange(chunk_start, chunk_end)  # 0-1023, 0-1023, ...
+
+# CORRECT: absolute positions
+positions = torch.arange(chunk_start, chunk_end) + chunk_idx * chunk_size  # 0-1023, 1024-2047, ...
+```
+
+**Evidence supporting this hypothesis**:
+- RULER needle-in-haystack tasks are position-sensitive
+- Wrong RoPE would cause the model to miss the "needle" (answer)
+- Error rate of 35% suggests positional confusion
+
+**Test**: Inject a position-only test (no attention) to verify RoPE is computed correctly across chunks.
+
+---
+
+### Hypothesis 4: Layer-wise Offload Interference ⚠️ LOW LIKELIHOOD
+
+**Problem**: `tzj/minference` branch implements BOTH:
+1. Chunked prefill (process sequence in chunks)
+2. Layer-wise offload (offload KV to CPU after each layer)
+
+**Potential conflict**:
+- After processing layer N with chunk K, KV is offloaded to CPU
+- When processing layer N+1 with chunk K+1, previous chunks must be reloaded
+- If timing is wrong, layer N+1 might read stale KV from layer N
+
+**Evidence against this hypothesis**:
+- Layer-wise offload should be independent per-layer
+- Each layer's KV cache is separate
+- But: if ring buffer slots are shared across layers...
+
+**Test**: Disable layer-wise offload (`num_gpu_blocks=-1` or large number) and retry.
+
+---
+
+### Hypothesis 5: Attention State Numerical Instability ⚠️ MEDIUM LIKELIHOOD
+
+**Problem**: `chunked_attention_varlen` in `chunked_attention.py` uses:
+
+```python
+# Track accumulated attention for online softmax
+attn_output = 0.0
+max_score = -float('inf')
+
+for chunk in chunks:
+    # Compute attention for this chunk
+    chunk_attn, chunk_max = compute_attention(chunk, all_chunks)
+
+    # Merge using online softmax formula
+    max_score = torch.maximum(max_score, chunk_max)
+    attn_output += (chunk_attn - max_score).exp() * values
+```
+
+**Numerical issue**:
+- `torch.maximum(max_score, chunk_max)` loses precision when values differ significantly
+- After 32 chunks, accumulated error can be substantial
+- For very large or very small attention scores, exp() can underflow/overflow
+
+**Evidence supporting this hypothesis**:
+- 4K context (4 chunks) works fine → fewer chunk merges
+- 32K context (32 chunks) fails → many chunk merges
+- Error patterns suggest "some chunks correct, others corrupted"
+
+**Test**: Add tensor logging at each chunk merge to track numerical precision degradation.
+
+---
+
+### Hypothesis 6: Sparse Policy Trigger Mismatch 🤔 UNCERTAIN
+
+**Problem**: The `_should_use_chunked_offload()` function checks:
+```python
+def _should_use_chunked_offload(self, seqs, is_prefill):
+    # Check if blocks are on CPU OR sequence exceeds GPU compute region
+    cpu_blocks, _ = self.kvcache_manager.get_all_cpu_blocks(seq)
+    if cpu_blocks:
+        return True
+    if seq.num_blocks > compute_size:
+        return True
+    return False
+```
+
+**Potential issue**:
+- For some samples, chunked offload is enabled
+- For other samples (with shorter effective length), regular prefill is used
+- The switch between modes might have state corruption
+
+**Evidence supporting this hypothesis**:
+- niah_single_1 has samples 0-16 correct, then errors start at 17
+- This suggests mode switching or threshold-based behavior
+- Different task types have different error rates (19% vs 54%)
+
+**Test**: Force chunked offload ALWAYS (or NEVER) to see if error rate stabilizes.
+
+---
+
+### Hypothesis 7: GPU Memory Fragmentation ⚠️ LOW LIKELIHOOD
+
+**Problem**: With only 2 GPU blocks (256MB each):
+- Ring buffer slots are 128MB each
+- Frequent allocation/deallocation might fragment GPU memory
+- Subsequent chunks might get misaligned or corrupted memory regions
+
+**Evidence against this hypothesis**:
+- GPU memory is managed at block level (1024 tokens = 128MB)
+- Fragmentation would cause crashes, not semantic errors
+- PyTorch's memory allocator should handle this
+
+**Test**: Run with `num_gpu_blocks=4` to reduce memory pressure.
+
+---
+
+## Error Pattern Analysis
+
+### Why niah_single_3 and niah_multikey_3 Fail catastrophically
+
+**Hypothesis**: Task 3 in each category has different data distribution:
+- May have longer input sequences (more haystack text)
+- May have needles at different positions
+- May require different attention patterns
+
+**Investigation needed**:
+1. Compare input lengths of task 3 vs tasks 1/2
+2. Check if task 3 samples trigger more aggressive chunked offload
+3. Verify if task 3 has different position encoding requirements
+
+### Why "Number Repetition" Errors Occur
+
+**Pattern**: `:3613613613613...` or `: 8, 9, 10, 11, ...`
+
+**Hypothesis**: Model enters a "loop" state where:
+1. Attention produces a partial token (e.g., "36")
+2. Next attention step sees corrupted context
+3. Instead of producing new content, model repeats the partial token
+4. This continues until hitting max_token limit
+
+**Root cause**: Likely KV cache corruption at chunk boundary, causing the model to "forget" the original question and enter a degenerate generation loop.

+## Multikey 任务失败分析 (单样本测试)
+
+### 失败样本特征
+
+单样本测试中 multikey 任务的失败**不是**状态泄露，而是**模型检索能力问题**。
+
+#### 错误类型
+
+| 类型 | 示例 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| **检索错误 key** | Expected `5833597`, Got `8617381` | 返回了上下文中另一个 key 的 value |

+| 98 | (未记录) | (未记录) | - |
+
+#### multikey_3 失败样本详情 (单样本测试)
+
+| Sample | Expected | Got | 分析 |
+|--------|----------|-----|------|
+| 11 | `c73ed342-6523-...` | `1d28b88b-b6a8-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
+| 18 | `87b8a762-1d1f-...` | `429a6676-5295-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |

+
+### 关键发现
+
+1. **格式正确**: 失败样本的输出格式完全正确（7位数字或UUID）
+2. **合法 value**: 输出的是上下文中存在的另一个 key-value 对的 value
+3. **确定性失败**: 同一样本多次测试返回相同的错误值
+4. **模型能力边界**: 这是多 key 检索任务的模型能力上限，~91% 准确率符合预期

+
+## Comparison with Working Baseline
+
+### xattn_stride8 (Working)
+- **Branch**: `tzj/vs_offload` or earlier
+- **Method**: XAttention sparse pattern with stride 8
+- **Error Rate**: ~8% (expected RULER baseline)
+- **Samples**: 100 samples per task
+
+### Chunked Offload - 批量测试 (Broken)
+- **Branch**: `tzj/minference`
+- **Method**: Full attention with chunked CPU offload
+- **Error Rate**: 20% (120/600) - **状态泄露导致**
+- **Samples**: 100 samples per task
+
+### Chunked Offload - 单样本测试 (Working)
+- **Branch**: `tzj/minference`
+- **Method**: Full attention with chunked CPU offload, 每个请求重新初始化 LLM
+- **Error Rate**: 0% (niah_single_1), ~9% (multikey tasks)
+- **Samples**: 100 samples per task
+- **结论**: 算法正确，multikey 失败是模型能力问题
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps (Updated)
+
+### 已完成 ✅
+
+1. ~~**Reproduce with 4K context**~~ - 不再需要，算法已验证正确
+2. ~~**Vary chunk size**~~ - 不再需要，问题不在 chunk 大小
+3. ~~**4-slot 配置测试**~~ - 已完成，有改善但不是根本原因
+
+### 待完成 🔧
+
+1. **定位状态泄露组件**: 调查连续请求间哪些状态未正确重置
+   - KV cache manager 的 `reset()` 或 `clear()` 方法
+   - Offload engine 的 ring buffer slot 状态
+   - Decode buffer 的跨请求隔离
+   - Sparse policy 的内部状态
+
+2. **实现状态重置修复**: 在每个请求完成后正确清理所有状态
+
+3. **验证修复**: 使用批量测试验证修复后准确率恢复到 ~95%+
+
+4. **Add tensor checkpoints**: Log intermediate attention outputs at chunk boundaries
+
+5. **Compare with non-offload**: Test 32K with GPU-only mode (if memory permits)
+
+6. **Numerical stability**: Add clipping/normalization to online softmax accumulation

+## 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

+# SparsePolicy Architecture Guide
+
+This document describes the SparsePolicy abstraction for chunked attention computation in CPU offload mode.
+
+## Overview
+
+SparsePolicy is an abstract base class that defines how attention is computed during chunked prefill and decode phases. All attention computation logic is delegated to the policy, allowing different sparse attention strategies to be implemented without modifying the core attention layer.
+
+```
+attention.py                     SparsePolicy
+    |                                 |
+    | _chunked_prefill_attention      |
+    | ────────────────────────────>   | compute_chunked_prefill()
+    |                                 |
+    | _chunked_decode_attention       |
+    | ────────────────────────────>   | compute_chunked_decode()
+    |                                 |
+```
+
+## Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Delegation Pattern**: `attention.py` only validates and delegates; all computation is in the policy
+2. **No Direct Imports**: `attention.py` does not import `flash_attn_with_lse` or `merge_attention_outputs`
+3. **Pipeline Encapsulation**: Ring buffer and cross-layer pipelines are internal to the policy
+4. **Phase Support Flags**: Policies declare which phases they support via `supports_prefill` and `supports_decode`
+

+
+## FullAttentionPolicy
+
+**File**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py`
+
+The default policy that loads all blocks (no sparsity). Serves as the baseline implementation.
+
+### Flags
+
+```python
+supports_prefill = True
+supports_decode = True
+```
+
+### Prefill Flow (`compute_chunked_prefill`)
+
+```
+1. Get historical blocks from kvcache_manager
+   └── cpu_block_table = kvcache_manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)
+
+2. Apply select_blocks (returns all for FullPolicy)
+   └── cpu_block_table = self.select_blocks(cpu_block_table, offload_engine, ctx)
+
+3. Load and compute historical blocks via ring buffer
+   └── For each block:
+       a. load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+       b. wait_slot_layer(slot)
+       c. prev_k, prev_v = get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+       d. flash_attn_with_lse(q, prev_k, prev_v, causal=False)
+       e. merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, prev_o, prev_lse)
+
+4. Compute current chunk attention (causal)
+   └── k_curr, v_curr = offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)
+   └── flash_attn_with_lse(q, k_curr, v_curr, causal=True)
+
+5. Merge historical and current attention
+   └── merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, current_o, current_lse)
+```
+
+### Decode Flow (`compute_chunked_decode`)
+
+```
+1. Get prefilled CPU blocks
+   └── cpu_block_table = kvcache_manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)
+
+2. Calculate last block valid tokens
+   └── total_prefill_tokens = kvcache_manager.get_prefill_len(seq)
+   └── last_block_valid_tokens = total_prefill_tokens % block_size
+
+3. Apply select_blocks for block filtering
+   └── cpu_block_table = self.select_blocks(cpu_block_table, offload_engine, ctx)
+
+4. Load prefilled blocks via ring buffer pipeline
+   └── _decode_ring_buffer_pipeline()
+
+5. Read accumulated decode tokens from decode buffer
+   └── decode_k = offload_engine.decode_k_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+   └── decode_v = offload_engine.decode_v_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+   └── flash_attn_with_lse(q, decode_k, decode_v, causal=False)
+
+6. Merge all results
+   └── merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, decode_o, decode_lse)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ring Buffer Pipeline
+
+The ring buffer pipeline (`_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline`) loads blocks one by one using GPU ring buffer slots. This approach is memory-efficient and works well for both short and long sequences.
+
+```
+Slot[0]: Block A ──> Compute ──> Block C ──> Compute
+Slot[1]: Block B ──> Compute ──> Block D ──> Compute
+```
+
+**Advantages**:
+- Memory efficient (only needs a few GPU slots)
+- Fine-grained overlap between H2D transfer and compute
+- Works well for long sequences
+
+**Flow**:
+```python
+# Phase 1: Pre-load up to num_slots blocks
+for i in range(num_preload):
+    offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(load_slots[i], layer_id, cpu_block_table[i])
+
+# Phase 2: Process blocks with pipeline
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    current_slot = load_slots[block_idx % num_slots]
+
+    # Wait for transfer
+    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(current_slot)
+
+    # Compute attention
+    prev_k, prev_v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(current_slot)
+    prev_o, prev_lse = flash_attn_with_lse(q, prev_k, prev_v, causal=False)
+    offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(current_slot)
+
+    # Pipeline: start loading next block
+    if next_block_idx < num_blocks:
+        offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(current_slot, layer_id, cpu_block_table[next_block_idx])
+
+    # Merge results
+    o_acc, lse_acc = merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, prev_o, prev_lse)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Code Conventions
+
+### Unsupported Phases Must Assert False
+
+If a policy doesn't support a phase, the corresponding method must `assert False`:
+
+```python
+class PrefillOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = False
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        # Normal prefill implementation
+        ...
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        assert False, "PrefillOnlyPolicy does not support decode phase"
+```
+
+### Caller Must Check Support Flags
+
+`attention.py` checks support flags before calling:
+
+```python
+if not sparse_policy.supports_decode:
+    raise RuntimeError(f"{sparse_policy} does not support decode phase")
+```
+
+This provides double protection:
+1. Caller check → Clear error message
+2. Method assert → Prevents bypassing the check
+
+### CPU-GPU Communication via OffloadEngine Only
+
+All CPU-GPU data transfers must go through `OffloadEngine` methods:
+
+```python
+# Correct: Use OffloadEngine methods
+offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+
+# Incorrect: Direct torch operations
+gpu_tensor.copy_(cpu_tensor)  # DON'T DO THIS
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to("cuda")  # DON'T DO THIS
+```

+```
+
+---
+
+## Required Implementations
+
+### 1. Phase Support Flags
+
+Every policy MUST declare which phases it supports:
+
+```python
+class MyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True   # Can be used in prefill phase?
+    supports_decode = True    # Can be used in decode phase?
+```
+
+| Policy Type | supports_prefill | supports_decode | Example |
+|-------------|------------------|-----------------|---------|
+| Full support | True | True | `FullAttentionPolicy` |
+| Decode-only | False | True | `QuestPolicy` |
+| Prefill-only | True | False | (hypothetical) |
+
+### 2. select_blocks() - Block Selection
+
+```python
+@abstractmethod
+def select_blocks(
+    self,
+    available_blocks: List[int],  # CPU block IDs with historical KV
+    offload_engine: "OffloadEngine",
+    ctx: PolicyContext,           # Context about current query
+) -> List[int]:
+    """Return subset of available_blocks to load."""
+```
+
+**PolicyContext fields:**
+- `query_chunk_idx`: Current chunk index (0-indexed)
+- `num_query_chunks`: Total number of chunks
+- `layer_id`: Transformer layer index
+- `query`: Query tensor (available for decode)
+- `is_prefill`: True if prefill phase
+- `block_size`: Tokens per block
+- `total_kv_len`: Total KV length so far
+
+**Example implementations:**
+
+```python
+# Full attention: load all blocks
+def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx):
+    return available_blocks
+
+# Top-K sparse: load K most important blocks
+def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx):
+    scores = self.compute_block_scores(available_blocks, ctx.query)
+    topk_indices = scores.topk(self.config.topk).indices
+    return [available_blocks[i] for i in sorted(topk_indices.tolist())]
+```
+
+### 3. compute_chunked_prefill() - Prefill Attention
+
+```python
+@abstractmethod
+def compute_chunked_prefill(
+    self,
+    q: torch.Tensor,              # [seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]
+    k: torch.Tensor,              # [seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim] (unused)
+    v: torch.Tensor,              # [seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim] (unused)
+    layer_id: int,
+    softmax_scale: float,
+    offload_engine: "OffloadEngine",
+    kvcache_manager: "KVCacheManager",
+    current_chunk_idx: int,
+    seq: "Sequence",
+    num_tokens: int,
+) -> torch.Tensor:  # [seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]
+```
+
+**Required flow:**
+1. Get historical blocks: `kvcache_manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)`
+2. Call `select_blocks()` to filter blocks
+3. Load blocks via ring buffer pipeline
+4. Get current chunk KV: `offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)`
+5. Compute attention with `flash_attn_with_lse()` (historical: causal=False, current: causal=True)
+6. Merge results with `merge_attention_outputs()`
+7. Return output with shape `[seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]`
+
+**If policy doesn't support prefill:**
+```python
+def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+    assert False, "MyPolicy does not support prefill phase"
+```
+
+### 4. compute_chunked_decode() - Decode Attention
+
+```python
+@abstractmethod
+def compute_chunked_decode(
+    self,
+    q: torch.Tensor,              # [batch_size, num_heads, head_dim]
+    layer_id: int,
+    softmax_scale: float,
+    offload_engine: "OffloadEngine",
+    kvcache_manager: "KVCacheManager",
+    seq: "Sequence",
+) -> torch.Tensor:  # [batch_size, 1, num_heads, head_dim]
+```
+
+**Required flow:**
+1. Get prefilled blocks: `kvcache_manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)`
+2. Calculate last block valid tokens from `kvcache_manager.get_prefill_len(seq)`
+3. Call `select_blocks()` to filter blocks
+4. Load blocks via `_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline()` helper
+5. Read decode buffer: `offload_engine.decode_k_buffer[layer_id, ...]`
+6. Merge results with `merge_attention_outputs()`
+7. Return output with shape `[batch_size, 1, num_heads, head_dim]`
+
+**If policy doesn't support decode:**
+```python
+def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+    assert False, "MyPolicy does not support decode phase"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Optional Hooks
+
+### initialize()
+
+Called after KV cache allocation. Use to create metadata structures.
+
+```python
+def initialize(self, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim, num_cpu_blocks, dtype, device):
+    self.metadata = BlockMetadataManager(
+        num_blocks=num_cpu_blocks,
+        num_layers=num_layers,
+        ...
+    )
+```
+
+### on_prefill_offload() / on_decode_offload()
+
+Called BEFORE GPU→CPU copy. Use to collect block metadata while data is still on GPU.
+
+```python
+def on_prefill_offload(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id, k_cache, num_valid_tokens):
+    # k_cache is still on GPU here
+    self.metadata.update_min_max(cpu_block_id, layer_id, k_cache, num_valid_tokens)
+```
+
+### reset()
+
+Called when starting new sequence. Use to clear state.
+
+```python
+def reset(self):
+    if self.metadata is not None:
+        self.metadata.reset()
+```
+
+---
+
+## CPU-GPU Communication Rules
+
+**MUST use OffloadEngine methods:**
+```python
+# Loading blocks
+offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(slot)
+
+# Current chunk KV
+k, v = offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)
+
+# Decode buffer
+decode_k = offload_engine.decode_k_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+decode_v = offload_engine.decode_v_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+```
+
+**NEVER do direct transfers:**
+```python
+# WRONG!
+gpu_tensor.copy_(cpu_tensor)
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to("cuda")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ring Buffer Pipeline Pattern
+
+The standard pattern for loading blocks:
+
+```python
+def _decode_ring_buffer_pipeline(self, q_batched, cpu_block_table, load_slots, ...):
+    from nanovllm.kvcache.chunked_attention import flash_attn_with_lse, merge_attention_outputs
+
+    num_blocks = len(cpu_block_table)
+    num_slots = len(load_slots)
+    o_acc, lse_acc = None, None
+
+    # Phase 1: Pre-load up to num_slots blocks
+    for i in range(min(num_slots, num_blocks)):
+        offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(load_slots[i], layer_id, cpu_block_table[i])
+
+    # Phase 2: Process with pipeline
+    for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+        slot = load_slots[block_idx % num_slots]
+
+        # Wait for H2D transfer
+        offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+
+        with torch.cuda.stream(offload_engine.compute_stream):
+            # Get KV and compute attention
+            k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+            o, lse = flash_attn_with_lse(q_batched, k, v, softmax_scale, causal=False)
+            offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(slot)
+
+        # Pipeline: start next block transfer
+        next_idx = block_idx + num_slots
+        if next_idx < num_blocks:
+            offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_table[next_idx])
+
+        # Merge results
+        with torch.cuda.stream(offload_engine.compute_stream):
+            if o_acc is None:
+                o_acc, lse_acc = o, lse
+            else:
+                o_acc, lse_acc = merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, o, lse)
+
+    return o_acc, lse_acc
+```
+
+---
+
+## Complete Example: Decode-Only Policy
+
+```python
+class TopKPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    """Load only top-K blocks based on query-key similarity."""
+
+    supports_prefill = False  # Use FullAttentionPolicy for prefill
+    supports_decode = True
+
+    def __init__(self, topk: int = 8):

+
+    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx):

+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        assert False, "TopKPolicy does not support prefill phase"

+        # Copy implementation from FullAttentionPolicy.compute_chunked_decode
+        # The only difference is select_blocks() will filter to top-K
+        ...
+
+    def reset(self):
+        if self.metadata:
+            self.metadata.reset()

+
+## Stride Reshape 详解
+
+### Inverse 模式
+
+XAttention 默认使用 `select_mode="inverse"`，这是一种交错采样策略：
+
+```python
+# 原始: Q/K shape = [batch, heads, seq_len, head_dim]
+# stride = 8
+
+# K reshape: 正向交错
+K_reshaped = concat([K[:, :, 0::8, :],   # 位置 0, 8, 16, ...
+                     K[:, :, 1::8, :],   # 位置 1, 9, 17, ...
+                     K[:, :, 2::8, :],   # 位置 2, 10, 18, ...
+                     ...
+                     K[:, :, 7::8, :]])  # 位置 7, 15, 23, ...
+# 结果: [batch, heads, seq_len/8, head_dim * 8]
+
+# Q reshape: 反向交错 (inverse)
+Q_reshaped = concat([Q[:, :, 7::8, :],   # 位置 7, 15, 23, ...
+                     Q[:, :, 6::8, :],   # 位置 6, 14, 22, ...
+                     Q[:, :, 5::8, :],   # 位置 5, 13, 21, ...
+                     ...
+                     Q[:, :, 0::8, :]])  # 位置 0, 8, 16, ...
+# 结果: [batch, heads, seq_len/8, head_dim * 8]
+```
+
+### 为什么用 Inverse 模式？
+
+当计算 `Q_reshaped @ K_reshaped^T` 时，inverse 模式使得：
+- Q 的后半部分与 K 的前半部分对齐
+- 这样可以近似捕获 **causal attention 的对角模式**
+
+---
+
+## Triton Kernels 详解
+
+### 1. flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape
+
+**文件**: `compass/src/kernels.py:198-235`
+
+**功能**: 融合 stride reshape 和 GEMM，避免显式创建 reshape 后的大张量
+
+```python
+@triton.jit
+def flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape_kernel(Q, K, Out, ...):
+    # 关键: 不实际 reshape，而是通过指针算术模拟
+    Q_ptrs = Q + block_m * BLOCK_M * STRIDE * stride_qn
+    K_ptrs = K + block_n * BLOCK_N * STRIDE * stride_kn
+
+    # 对 stride 个位置累加
+    for iter in range(STRIDE):
+        q = tl.load(Q_ptrs - iter * stride_qn)  # Q inverse 采样
+        k = tl.load(K_ptrs + iter * stride_kn)  # K 正向采样
+        o += tl.dot(q, k)
+```
+
+**优势**:
+- 内存节省: 不需要创建 `[batch, heads, seq_len/stride, head_dim*stride]` 的中间张量
+- 计算融合: reshape + GEMM 一次完成
+
+### 2. softmax_fuse_block_sum
+
+**文件**: `compass/src/kernels.py:6-95`
+
+**功能**: 在线 softmax + 块内求和
+
+```python
+@triton.jit
+def softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel_causal(In, Out, ...):
+    # Pass 1: 计算全局 max 和 sum (在线算法)
+    for iter in range(num_iters):
+        X = tl.load(input_ptr + iter * segment_size) * scale
+        m_local = tl.max(X, 1)
+        m_new = tl.maximum(m_i, m_local)
+        alpha = tl.math.exp2(m_i - m_new)
+        X = X - m_new[:, None]
+        l_local = tl.sum(tl.math.exp2(X), 1)
+        l_i = l_i * alpha + l_local
+        m_i = m_new
+
+    # Pass 2: 归一化并按块求和
+    for iter in range(num_iters):
+        X = tl.load(input_ptr + iter * segment_size) * scale
+        X = tl.exp2(X - m_i[:, None]) * l_i_inv[:, None]  # softmax
+        X = tl.reshape(X, (block_size, segment_size // block_size, block_size))
+        X = tl.sum(X, 2).sum(0)  # 块内求和
+        tl.store(output_ptr + iter * segment_size // block_size, X)
+```
+
+**输出含义**: `attn_sum[b, h, qi, ki]` = Q block qi 对 K block ki 的**归一化注意力权重之和**

+**文件**: `compass/src/utils.py:44-191`
+
+### 算法步骤
+
+```python
+def find_blocks_chunked(input_tensor, current_index, threshold, ...):
+    """
+    input_tensor: [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks] - 块级注意力权重和
+    threshold: 0.9 - 累积阈值
+    """
+    # 1. 计算每行总和
+    total_sum = input_tensor.sum(dim=-1, keepdim=True)
+    required_sum = total_sum * threshold  # 需要达到的累积和
+
+    # 2. 特殊块始终保留
+    mask = zeros_like(input_tensor, dtype=bool)
+    mask[:, :, :, 0] = True              # sink 块
+    mask[:, :, :, diagonal] = True       # 对角块 (causal)
+
+    # 3. 对剩余块按权重排序
+    other_values = input_tensor.masked_fill(mask, 0)
+    sorted_values, index = sort(other_values, descending=True)
+
+    # 4. 累积求和直到达到阈值
+    cumsum = sorted_values.cumsum(dim=-1)
+    index_mask = cumsum < required_sum
+
+    # 5. 标记选中的块
+    mask[..., index[index_mask]] = True
+
+    return mask
+```
+
+### 示例
+
+```
+threshold = 0.9
+attn_sum 某一行 = [0.05, 0.30, 0.40, 0.15, 0.10]  (已 softmax, 和为 1.0)
+required_sum = 0.9
+
+排序后: [0.40, 0.30, 0.15, 0.10, 0.05]
+累积和: [0.40, 0.70, 0.85, 0.95, 1.00]
+                            ↑ 达到 0.9
+
+选中: 前 4 个块 (indices: 2, 1, 3, 4)
+```

+```python
+from block_sparse_attn import block_sparse_attn_func
+```
+
+来自 MIT-HAN-LAB，提供基于块 mask 的高效稀疏 FlashAttention 实现。
+
+### 接口
+
+```python
+attn_output = block_sparse_attn_func(
+    query_states,         # [total_q, num_heads, head_dim]
+    key_states,           # [total_k, num_heads, head_dim]

+    p_dropout=0.0,
+    deterministic=True,
+    is_causal=True,       # 全局 causal flag
+)
+```
+
+### 块大小要求
+
+BSA 要求 **block_size = 128**（硬编码）：
+```python
+assert block_size == 128  # Xattention.py:358
+```
+
+---
+
+## 关键参数
+
+| 参数 | 默认值 | 范围 | 作用 |
+|------|--------|------|------|
+| `stride` | 8 | 4-16 | Q/K 交错采样步长，越大估计越快但越粗糙 |
+| `threshold` | 0.9 | 0.7-0.99 | 累积注意力阈值，越高保留块越多 |
+| `block_size` | 128 | 128 (固定) | BSA 块大小，不可调 |
+| `chunk_size` | 16384 | 2048-131072 | 估计时的分块大小，影响内存使用 |
+| `norm` | 1.0 | 0.5-2.0 | 注意力分数归一化系数 |
+| `keep_sink` | False | bool | 是否始终保留第一个块 |
+| `keep_recent` | False | bool | 是否始终保留对角块 |
+
+---
+
+## 计算复杂度
+
+### 估计阶段
+
+| 操作 | 复杂度 |
+|------|--------|
+| Stride reshape GEMM | O(seq_len/stride × seq_len/stride × head_dim × stride) = O(seq_len² × head_dim / stride) |
+| Softmax + block sum | O(seq_len² / stride²) |
+| Block selection | O(num_blocks² × log(num_blocks)) |
+
+**估计阶段总复杂度**: O(seq_len² × head_dim / stride)
+
+### 计算阶段 (BSA)
+
+设选中块比例为 ρ (通常 0.3-0.5):
+
+| 操作 | 复杂度 |
+|------|--------|
+| Block sparse attention | O(ρ × num_blocks² × block_size² × head_dim) = O(ρ × seq_len² × head_dim) |
+
+**总复杂度**: O(seq_len² × head_dim × (1/stride + ρ))
+
+当 stride=8, ρ=0.4 时，相比 full attention 节省约 **50%** 计算量。
+
+---
+
+## 与 nano-vllm 集成注意事项
+
+### 依赖要求
+
+```
+block_sparse_attn  # pip install block-sparse-attn
+triton >= 2.0      # Triton kernels
+```
+
+### CPU Offload 场景适配
+
+XAttention 原始实现假设所有 KV 在 GPU 上。对于 CPU offload 场景，需要：
+
+1. **估计阶段**: 仍需加载所有历史 KV 到 GPU 进行估计
+2. **计算阶段**: 只加载选中的块
+
+这可能需要修改为两阶段 pipeline:
+- 先用采样数据估计重要块
+- 再只加载重要块进行计算
+
+### block_size 对齐
+
+nano-vllm 的 `kvcache_block_size` 需要与 BSA 的 128 对齐：
+- 如果 `kvcache_block_size = 1024`，则每个 kv block 包含 8 个 BSA blocks
+- 块选择粒度需要相应调整

+
+## 修复的关键 Bug
+
+### Bug #1: KV Cache 未写入 CPU (已修复)
+
+**问题**: `sparse_prefill_attention` 计算正确，但立即返回导致 KV cache 未 offload 到 CPU。
+
+**症状**: 输出乱码 `4CKCKCKCKCK...`
+
+**根因**: 在 `attention.py` 第 222 行：
+```python
+o = sparse_policy.sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, self.layer_id, self.scale)
+torch.cuda.nvtx.range_pop()
+return o  # ← 提前返回，跳过了 KV offload!
+```
+
+**修复**:
+1. 移除提前返回
+2. 将结果转换为 batched 格式
+3. 设置标志跳过标准流程
+4. 确保 KV offload 逻辑执行
+
+**文件**: `nanovllm/layers/attention.py` (lines 213-314)

+# XAttention BSA Policy 设计文档
+
+本文档描述 `XAttentionBSAPolicy` 的设计和实现，这是一个基于 XAttention 算法的稀疏注意力策略，用于 CPU offload 模式下的 chunked prefill。
+
+## 概述
+
+`XAttentionBSAPolicy` 实现了基于 XAttention 的块级稀疏注意力选择。核心思想是：
+
+1. **估计阶段**：使用 XAttention kernels 快速估计每个 KV block 的重要性
+2. **选择阶段**：基于阈值和 majority voting 选择重要的 blocks
+3. **计算阶段**：只加载选中的 blocks 进行 attention 计算

+    # 转换为 [batch, heads, k_len, head_dim]
+    K_chunk = k_block.transpose(1, 2)
+
+    # GQA: 扩展 K heads 匹配 Q heads
+    if num_heads != num_kv_heads:
+        K_chunk = K_chunk.repeat_interleave(num_groups, dim=1)
+
+    # 计算 attention scores
+    attn_chunk = flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(Q, K_chunk, stride, ...)
+    attn_scores_list.append(attn_chunk)
+
+# 拼接所有 K chunks: [1, heads, q_reshaped_len, total_k_reshaped_len]
+attn_scores = torch.cat(attn_scores_list, dim=-1)
+```
+
+#### Step 2: 聚合到 block 级别
+
+使用 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` 将 attention scores 聚合到 block 级别：
+
+```python
+# reshaped_block_size = block_size / stride = 1024 / 8 = 128
+block_sums = softmax_fuse_block_sum(
+    attn_scores,
+    reshaped_block_size,  # 1:1 对应 CPU blocks
+    segment_size,
+    chunk_start=0,
+    chunk_end=q_reshaped_len,
+    real_q_len=q_reshaped_len,
+    scale=scale,
+    is_causal=False,
+)
+# block_sums: [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]
+```
+
+**关键点**: `reshaped_block_size` 必须与 CPU block 对齐，确保输出的 `k_blocks` 维度 1:1 对应 `available_blocks`。
+
+#### Step 3: 阈值选择
+
+使用 `find_blocks_chunked` 基于累积注意力阈值选择 blocks：
+
+```python
+mask = find_blocks_chunked(
+    block_sums,
+    current_index=0,
+    threshold=self.threshold,  # e.g., 0.95
+    num_to_choose=None,
+    decoding=False,
+    mode="prefill",
+    causal=False,
+)
+# mask: [batch, num_heads, q_blocks, k_blocks] - boolean
+```
+
+#### Step 4: GQA-aware 聚合 + Majority Voting
+
+```python
+# GQA: 在同一个 KV head group 内，任一 Q head 选择即选择
+if num_groups > 1:
+    mask_gqa = mask.view(batch_size, num_kv_heads, num_groups, q_blocks, k_blocks)
+    mask_per_kv_head = mask_gqa.any(dim=2)  # [batch, num_kv_heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]
+
+# Majority voting: 跨 KV heads 和 q_blocks 投票
+vote_count = mask_per_kv_head[0].float().sum(dim=0).sum(dim=0)  # [k_blocks]
+total_votes = num_kv_heads * q_blocks
+vote_ratio = vote_count / total_votes
+
+# 选择 >50% 投票的 blocks
+vote_threshold = 0.5
+block_selected = vote_ratio > vote_threshold
+selected_block_ids = [available_blocks[i] for i, sel in enumerate(block_selected.tolist()) if sel]
+
+# 安全措施: 始终包含第一个 (sink) 和最后一个 block
+if available_blocks[0] not in selected_block_ids:
+    selected_block_ids.insert(0, available_blocks[0])
+if available_blocks[-1] not in selected_block_ids:
+    selected_block_ids.append(available_blocks[-1])
+```
+
+**为什么使用 Majority Voting?**
+
+| 聚合方式 | 问题 |
+|---------|------|
+| `any()` 跨所有 heads | 密度接近 100%，失去稀疏性 |
+| `all()` | 太激进，可能丢失重要 blocks |
+| **Majority voting (>50%)** | 平衡稀疏性和准确性 |
+
+实验结果显示：
+- 每 head 密度: 20-35%
+- `any()` 聚合后: ~100%
+- **Majority voting 后: ~45%**
+

+
+### 2. compute_chunked_prefill: 注意力计算
+
+复用 `FullAttentionPolicy` 的 ring buffer pipeline 实现：
+
+```python
+def compute_chunked_prefill(self, q, k, v, layer_id, softmax_scale,
+                            offload_engine, kvcache_manager,
+                            current_chunk_idx, seq, num_tokens,
+                            selected_blocks) -> torch.Tensor:
+```
+
+#### 计算流程
+
+1. **加载历史 blocks** (使用 selected_blocks):
+   ```python
+   for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+       # Ring buffer pipeline: load -> wait -> compute -> next
+       offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+       offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+
+       prev_k, prev_v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+       prev_o, prev_lse = flash_attn_with_lse(q, prev_k, prev_v, causal=False)
+
+       o_acc, lse_acc = merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, prev_o, prev_lse)
+   ```
+
+2. **计算当前 chunk** (causal mask):
+   ```python
+   k_curr, v_curr = offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)
+   current_o, current_lse = flash_attn_with_lse(q, k_curr, v_curr, causal=True)
+   ```
+
+3. **合并结果**:
+   ```python
+   final_o, _ = merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, current_o, current_lse)
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## 参数配置
+
+| 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| `threshold` | 0.95 | 累积注意力阈值 (tau)，越高越保守 |
+| `stride` | 8 | XAttention stride reshape 参数 |
+| `chunk_size` | 16384 | 估计时的处理 chunk size |
+| `block_size` | 128 | BSA block size (固定值) |
+
+### 使用方式
+
+```python
+# 在 config 中设置
+config.sparse_policy = SparsePolicyType.XATTN_BSA
+config.sparse_threshold = 0.95
+
+# 或通过命令行
+python tests/test_needle.py \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --enable-xattn-bsa \
+    --sparse-threshold 9  # 会被除以 10 变为 0.9
+```
+
+---
+
+## 性能特性
+
+| 特性 | 说明 |
+|------|------|
+| **Prefill 支持** | ✅ 完整支持 |
+| **Decode 支持** | ❌ 不支持（使用 FullAttentionPolicy） |
+| **稀疏度** | ~45-55%（threshold=0.95，majority voting） |
+| **准确性** | RULER NIAH 100% 通过 |
+
+### 限制
+
+1. **Decode 不支持**: XAttention 估计需要足够长的 Q 序列，单 token decode 不适用
+2. **估计开销**: `select_blocks` 需要加载所有 K blocks 进行估计
+3. **Triton 对齐**: Q/K 长度必须满足 `stride * BLOCK_M/N` 对齐要求
+
+---
+
+## 与其他 Policy 的对比
+
+| Policy | select_blocks | 稀疏度 | Decode 支持 |
+|--------|--------------|--------|-------------|
+| FullAttentionPolicy | 返回所有 blocks | 0% | ✅ |
+| QuestPolicy | 基于 min/max key | ~50% | ✅ |
+| **XAttentionBSAPolicy** | XAttention + majority voting | ~45-55% | ❌ |

+
+## 性能基准测试
+
+### 128K 上下文对比 (Llama-3.1-8B, A100 80GB)
+
+| Policy | Density | 时间 | 内存峰值 | 准确率 |
+|--------|---------|------|---------|--------|
+| **Full** | 100% | 120.9s | 16.4GB (稳定) | 100% |
+| **XAttn BSA** | ~52% | 152.3s | 19.8GB | 100% |
+
+### Density 变化趋势
+
+| Chunk | Full | XAttn BSA |
+|-------|------|-----------|
+| 10 | 100% | 90% |
+| 30 | 100% | 73% |
+| 60 | 100% | 50% |
+| 100 | 100% | 50% |
+| 126 | 100% | 52% |
+
+**观察**：XAttn BSA 的 density 随 chunks 增加而下降，最终稳定在 ~50%。
+
+### 性能分析
+
+**当前问题**：XAttn BSA 虽然 density 只有 ~52%，但时间反而比 Full 更长（152s vs 121s）。
+
+**原因**：`select_blocks` 需要加载所有 K blocks 来估计 attention scores，导致每个 block 被加载两次：
+1. 估计阶段：加载 K 计算 attention scores
+2. 计算阶段：加载选中的 K/V 进行实际计算
+
+**优化方向**：
+1. 跨层共享估计结果（layer 0 估计，其他层复用）
+2. 采样估计（只用部分 K blocks 估计）
+3. 缓存估计结果避免重复计算
+

+
+## 内存管理
+
+### 内存泄漏问题 (已修复)
+
+**问题**：128K prefill 时 GPU 内存从 16GB 增长到 80GB。
+
+**根因**：
+```python
+# 问题代码：累积存储但从未使用
+self.sparse_metadata[layer_id] = attn_scores
+```
+
+每个 chunk 的每个 layer 都存储 `attn_scores`，导致内存持续增长。
+
+**修复方法**：
+```python
+# 1. 删除无用的 sparse_metadata 存储
+
+# 2. 立即释放中间变量
+del attn_scores_list
+del attn_scores, block_sums, mask, mask_per_kv_head, vote_count, vote_ratio, block_selected
+```
+
+**修复效果**：
+
+| 版本 | 内存增长 | 峰值 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| 修复前 | +64GB | 80GB |
+| **修复后** | +4GB | 19.8GB |
+
+### 内存监控
+
+使用 `gpu-monitor` agent 监控内存：
+
+```bash
+# 启动监控
+# 在 Claude Code 中使用 Task tool 启动 gpu-monitor agent
+
+# 或手动监控
+watch -n 1 'nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.used --format=csv,noheader -i 0'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Density 统计 API
+
+### 启用统计
+
+```python
+# 统计自动在 select_blocks 中更新（仅 layer 0）
+# 使用 logger.debug 输出每 chunk 的 density
+```
+
+### 获取统计
+
+```python
+policy = XAttentionBSAPolicy(threshold=0.95)
+
+# 运行 prefill 后...
+
+# 获取统计
+stats = policy.get_density_stats()
+# {
+#     "total_available_blocks": 8001,
+#     "total_selected_blocks": 4160,
+#     "num_chunks": 126,
+#     "overall_density": 0.52
+# }
+
+# 打印统计
+policy.print_density_stats()
+
+# 重置统计
+policy.reset_stats()
+```
+
+### 启用 DEBUG 日志
+
+```python
+# 在 test_ruler.py 中
+os.environ["NANOVLLM_LOG_LEVEL"] = "DEBUG"
+
+# 输出示例：
+# [XAttn] chunk=30, available=30, selected=22, chunk_density=73.3%
+```
+

+
+## 已知问题
+
+| 问题 | 状态 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| 估计开销过大 | 🟡 待优化 | select_blocks 需要加载所有 K blocks |
+| 时间比 Full 更长 | 🟡 待优化 | 128K 场景 152s vs 121s |

+# XAttention Chunked Prefill
+
+## 概述
+
+`xattn_estimate_chunked` 提供了 XAttention 的 chunked prefill 支持，允许将长序列分块处理，适用于显存受限或需要与 decode 请求交错执行的场景。
+
+## 核心设计
+
+### Chunked Prefill 模式
+
+```
+Full Prefill:     Q[0:N] × K[0:N] → Output[0:N]
+
+Chunked Prefill:  Q[0:C] × K[0:C] → Output[0:C]
+                  Q[C:2C] × K[0:2C] → Output[C:2C]
+                  Q[2C:3C] × K[0:3C] → Output[2C:3C]
+                  ...
+```
+
+关键特点：
+- **Q 分块处理**：每次只处理一个 Q chunk
+- **K/V 累积**：K/V cache 随着 chunk 处理逐步累积
+- **位置感知**：通过 `q_start_pos` 参数传递当前 chunk 在原序列中的位置
+
+## API
+
+### xattn_estimate_chunked
+
+```python
+def xattn_estimate_chunked(
+    query_states: torch.Tensor,  # (B, H, q_chunk_len, D) - 当前 Q chunk
+    key_states: torch.Tensor,    # (B, H, k_len, D) - 累积的完整 K
+    q_start_pos: int,            # 当前 chunk 在原序列中的起始位置
+    block_size: int = 128,       # 稀疏 attention 的 block 大小
+    stride: int = 8,             # 估计时的下采样步长
+    threshold: float = 0.9,      # block 选择阈值
+    chunk_size: int = 16384,     # Triton kernel 对齐大小
+    use_triton: bool = True,
+    causal: bool = True,
+) -> Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor]:
+    """
+    Returns:
+        attn_sums: (B, H, q_blocks, k_blocks) - 每个 block 的 attention 分数
+        simple_mask: (B, H, q_blocks, k_blocks) - 选中的 block mask
+    """
+```
+
+## 使用方式
+
+### 外部分块（生产部署推荐）
+
+由 LLM 框架控制 chunk 划分：
+
+```python
+# 在 attention forward 中
+def forward(self, query, key, value, position_ids, kv_cache, ...):
+    q_start_pos = position_ids[0].item()
+
+    # 估计 sparse pattern
+    attn_sum, mask = xattn_estimate_chunked(
+        query, kv_cache.key,
+        q_start_pos=q_start_pos,
+        block_size=128,
+        stride=4,
+        threshold=0.9,
+        chunk_size=4096,  # 必须与外部 chunk 大小匹配
+    )
+
+    # 使用 mask 进行 sparse attention
+    ...
+```
+
+### 一致性要求
+
+**重要**：要实现 chunked 与 standard 版本 100% 一致，必须：
+
+1. 标准版和 chunked 版使用**相同的 `chunk_size`** 参数
+2. 例如：`xattn_estimate(..., chunk_size=4096)` 和 `xattn_estimate_chunked(..., chunk_size=4096)`
+
+## 与标准版的关系
+
+| 函数 | 用途 |
+|------|------|
+| `xattn_estimate` | Full prefill 的 pattern 估计 |
+| `xattn_estimate_chunked` | Chunked prefill 的 pattern 估计 |
+
+**一致性保证**：当 `chunk_size` 参数匹配时，`xattn_estimate_chunked` 与 `xattn_estimate` 产生**完全相同**的 mask。
+
+## 测试
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH \
+    python tests/test_xattn_estimate_chunked.py
+```
+
+## 验证结果
+
+使用真实 QKV 数据（8K-64K 序列长度）测试：
+- 所有 chunk_size (2048, 4096, 8192) 均达到 100% 匹配

+# XAttention Kernels Guide
+
+本文档详细说明 XAttention 的两个核心 Triton kernel 的工作原理。
+
+## 概述
+
+XAttention 使用 stride 采样来快速估计 attention 分布，用于稀疏 attention 的 block 选择。
+
+**数据流**：
+```
+Q [batch, heads, q_len, head_dim]
+K [batch, heads, kv_len, head_dim]
+  ↓ flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape (stride 采样 + GEMM)
+attn_scores [batch, heads, q_len/stride, kv_len/stride]
+  ↓ softmax_fuse_block_sum (softmax + block 求和)
+block_sums [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]
+  ↓ threshold 选择
+sparse_mask [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]
+```
+
+**注意**：Q 和 K 可以有不同的长度（q_len ≠ kv_len），这在 chunked prefill 场景中很常见。
+
+## Kernel 1: flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape
+
+### 功能
+
+计算 stride reshape 后的 attention scores，本质是计算原始 attention 矩阵中每个 stride×stride 块的**反对角线求和**。
+
+### 函数签名
+
+```python
+def flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(
+    query_states: torch.Tensor,  # [batch, heads, q_len, head_dim]
+    key_states: torch.Tensor,    # [batch, heads, kv_len, head_dim]
+    stride: int,
+    chunk_start: int,
+    chunk_end: int,
+    is_causal: bool = True,
+) -> torch.Tensor:  # [batch, heads, q_len/stride, kv_len/stride]
+```
+
+### 采样方式
+
+```
+Q 采样: (stride-1-s)::stride  (逆向)
+K 采样: s::stride             (正向)
+
+例如 stride=4:
+  Q 采样位置: 3, 7, 11, 15, ...  (从位置 3 开始，每隔 4)
+  K 采样位置: 0, 4, 8, 12, ...   (从位置 0 开始，每隔 4)
+```
+
+### 反对角线原理
+
+对于原始 attention 矩阵的每个 stride×stride 块：
+
+```
+stride=4 的块:
+     K[0]  K[1]  K[2]  K[3]
+Q[0]  ·     ·     ·     X    ← 反对角线
+Q[1]  ·     ·     X     ·
+Q[2]  ·     X     ·     ·
+Q[3]  X     ·     ·     ·
+```
+
+**输出值 = 反对角线元素之和**
+
+因为：
+- `Q[i]` 采样自原始位置 `(stride-1-i)`
+- `K[j]` 采样自原始位置 `j`
+- 当 `i + j = stride - 1` 时，恰好在反对角线上
+
+### Triton 约束
+
+**GPU 相关的 BLOCK 大小**：
+
+| GPU 类型 | 显存 | BLOCK_M/N | 最小 q_len/kv_len |
+|----------|------|-----------|-------------------|
+| RTX 3090 | 24GB | 64 | stride × 64 = 256 |
+| A100/H100 | ≥40GB | 128 | stride × 128 = 512 |
+
+```python
+# 代码中的判断逻辑
+if props.total_memory < 30 * 1024**3:  # < 30GB
+    BLOCK_M = BLOCK_N = 64
+else:
+    BLOCK_M = BLOCK_N = 128
+
+assert q_len % (stride * BLOCK_M) == 0
+assert kv_len % (stride * BLOCK_N) == 0
+```
+
+### 验证示例
+
+```python
+# 输入: 偶数位置=1, 奇数位置=2
+# q_len=512, kv_len=2048, stride=4, head_dim=128
+
+# 反对角线元素 (stride=4):
+#   Q[奇]*K[偶] + Q[偶]*K[奇] = 2*1 + 1*2 = 4 (每对)
+#   stride=4 有 2 对
+#   乘以 head_dim=128
+# 预期值: 4 * 2 * 128 = 1024
+
+# 输出 shape: [1, 1, 128, 512]  (512/4=128, 2048/4=512)
+```
+
+## Kernel 2: softmax_fuse_block_sum
+
+### 功能
+
+对 `flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape` 的输出做 softmax，然后按 block 求和，得到每个 block 的 attention 权重总和。
+
+### 参数说明
+
+| 参数 | 含义 |
+|------|------|
+| `attn_weights_slice` | 输入 attention scores `[batch, heads, q_reshaped, k_reshaped]` |
+| `reshaped_block_size` | Block 大小（在 reshaped 空间，= block_size / stride） |
+| `segment_size` | 每次迭代处理的 K 维度大小（tiling） |
+| `chunk_start` | Q 的起始位置（用于 causal mask） |
+| `chunk_end` | Q 的结束位置 |
+| `real_q_len` | 有效 Q 长度（用于 padding mask） |
+| `scale` | 缩放因子（融合多个因素） |
+| `is_causal` | 是否应用 causal mask |
+
+### Scale 因子
+
+```python
+scale = log2(e) / sqrt(head_dim) / stride / norm
+     = 1.4426950408889634 / sqrt(head_dim) / stride / norm
+```
+
+| 因子 | 值 | 作用 |
+|------|-----|------|
+| `log2(e)` | 1.4426950408889634 | Triton 用 `exp2` 而非 `exp`，需转换底数 |
+| `1/sqrt(head_dim)` | 1/√128 | 标准 attention 缩放 |
+| `1/stride` | 1/4 | stride 采样的归一化 |
+| `1/norm` | 变化 | 额外归一化因子 |
+
+**为什么用 exp2**：Triton 的 `exp2` 比 `exp` 更快（硬件原生支持），所以把 log₂(e) 融合到 scale 里。
+
+### Segment Size 约束
+
+```python
+assert segment_size >= reshaped_block_size
+```
+
+原因：kernel 内部使用 `segment_size // block_size` 做 reshape：
+
+```python
+X = tl.reshape(X, (block_size, segment_size // block_size, block_size))
+```
+
+如果 `segment_size < block_size`，则 `segment_size // block_size = 0`，导致无效维度。
+
+### 验证示例
+
+```python
+# 输入: attn_scores [1, 1, 128, 512] (所有值相同)
+# block_size=128
+
+# softmax 后每行均匀分布 (所有值相同 → 均匀)
+# 每行对一个 K block 的贡献 = block_size / kv_reshaped_len = 128/512 = 0.25
+# 每个 Q block 有 block_size=128 行
+# block_sum = 128 * 0.25 = 32
+
+# 输出 shape: [1, 1, 1, 4]  (128/128=1, 512/128=4)
+```
+
+## 完整示例
+
+```python
+# 参数
+q_len = 512       # Q 长度
+kv_len = 2048     # K/V 长度 (可以不同于 q_len)
+stride = 4
+block_size = 128

-### Llama 3 RoPE Scaling
-Llama 3 使用特殊的 RoPE scaling 策略 (`rope_type: "llama3"`)：
-- 低频分量保持不变（对应短距离依赖）
-- 高频分量线性插值（对应长距离依赖）
-- 参数: `factor`, `low_freq_factor`, `high_freq_factor`, `original_max_position_embeddings`
-
-参考实现 (transformers):
-```python
-def _compute_llama3_parameters(config, device, inv_freq):
-    factor = config.factor
-    low_freq_factor = config.low_freq_factor
-    high_freq_factor = config.high_freq_factor
-    old_context_len = config.original_max_position_embeddings
-
-    low_freq_wavelen = old_context_len / low_freq_factor
-    high_freq_wavelen = old_context_len / high_freq_factor
-
-    wavelen = 2 * math.pi / inv_freq
-    inv_freq_llama = torch.where(
-        wavelen > low_freq_wavelen,
-        inv_freq / factor,
-        inv_freq
-    )
-    smooth_factor = (old_context_len / wavelen - low_freq_factor) / (high_freq_factor - low_freq_factor)
-    smoothed_inv_freq = (1 - smooth_factor) * inv_freq_llama + smooth_factor * inv_freq
-    is_medium_freq = (wavelen >= high_freq_wavelen) & (wavelen <= low_freq_wavelen)
-    inv_freq_llama = torch.where(is_medium_freq, smoothed_inv_freq, inv_freq_llama)
-    return inv_freq_llama

-## Weight Mapping Analysis
-
-### Qwen3 packed_modules_mapping
-```python
-packed_modules_mapping = {
-    "q_proj": ("qkv_proj", "q"),
-    "k_proj": ("qkv_proj", "k"),
-    "v_proj": ("qkv_proj", "v"),
-    "gate_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 0),
-    "up_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 1),
-}
-```
-
-### Llama Weight Names (from safetensors)
-预期 Llama 权重命名与 Qwen3 类似：
-- `model.layers.{i}.self_attn.q_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.self_attn.k_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.self_attn.v_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.self_attn.o_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.mlp.gate_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.mlp.up_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.mlp.down_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.input_layernorm.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.post_attention_layernorm.weight`
-
-**结论**: Llama 的 `packed_modules_mapping` 与 Qwen3 相同，可以复用。

-# Task Plan: Multi-Model Support for nanovllm
-
-## Goal
-扩展 nanovllm 框架以支持多种模型（当前只支持 Qwen3），特别是添加 Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct 支持，并建立可扩展的模型添加范式。
-
-## Current State Analysis
-
-### 硬编码问题位置
-- `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:35`: 直接实例化 `Qwen3ForCausalLM(hf_config)`
-- `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:9`: 硬编码导入 `from nanovllm.models.qwen3 import Qwen3ForCausalLM`
-
-### Qwen3 vs Llama 3.1 架构差异
-
-| Feature | Qwen3 | Llama 3.1 |
-|---------|-------|-----------|
-| Config Class | Qwen3Config | LlamaConfig |
-| attention_bias | True (可配置) | False |
-| q_norm/k_norm | 有 (when bias=False) | 无 |
-| mlp_bias | N/A | False |
-| RoPE Scaling | None (目前) | llama3 类型 |
-| RoPE theta | 1000000 | 500000 |
-| hidden_act | silu | silu |
-| tie_word_embeddings | True | False |
-
-### 关键限制
-- `rotary_embedding.py:59`: `assert rope_scaling is None` - 不支持 RoPE scaling
-
----
-
-## Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Create Model Registry Pattern [pending]
-**Files to modify:**
-- `nanovllm/models/__init__.py` (new)
-- `nanovllm/models/registry.py` (new)
-
-**Tasks:**
-1. 创建模型注册表机制
-2. 定义模型注册装饰器 `@register_model`
-3. 实现 `get_model_class(hf_config)` 函数，根据 `architectures` 字段自动选择模型
-
-**Design:**
-```python
-MODEL_REGISTRY: dict[str, type] = {}
-
-def register_model(*architectures):
-    """Decorator to register a model class for given architecture names."""
-    def decorator(cls):
-        for arch in architectures:
-            MODEL_REGISTRY[arch] = cls
-        return cls
-    return decorator
-
-def get_model_class(hf_config) -> type:
-    """Get model class based on HF config architectures."""
-    for arch in hf_config.architectures:
-        if arch in MODEL_REGISTRY:
-            return MODEL_REGISTRY[arch]
-    raise ValueError(f"Unsupported architecture: {hf_config.architectures}")
-```
-
-### Phase 2: Add Llama3 RoPE Scaling Support [pending]
-**Files to modify:**
-- `nanovllm/layers/rotary_embedding.py`
-
-**Tasks:**
-1. 实现 `Llama3RotaryEmbedding` 类，支持 llama3 rope_type
-2. 修改 `get_rope()` 函数，根据 rope_scaling 类型选择实现
-3. 保持向后兼容（rope_scaling=None 使用原实现）
-
-**Llama3 RoPE Scaling Formula:**
-```python
-# From transformers:
-# low_freq_factor, high_freq_factor, original_max_position_embeddings
-# Adjust frequencies based on wavelength thresholds
