chore: sync submodule URL with tzj/minference (use HTTPS)

分析两个分支的内存布局差异，明确 Block-Based 设计对支持
任意长度推理的重要性。

核心发现：
- tzj/vs_offload 的 max_seq_len 设计导致 GPU 内存随序列长度增长
- tzj/minference 的 block-based 设计使 GPU 内存固定（~1.6 GB）
- 在 24GB RTX 3090 上可支持 4M+ tokens 推理

规划将 tzj/minference 的 chunked prefill 机制移植到 tzj/vs_offload 分支：
- Block-based GPU cache (无 layer 维度)
- Per-layer prefill buffer (完全并行 offload)
- Cross-layer pipeline buffers (double-buffering)
- Chunked prefill 流程和 LSE 在线合并

Sparse Policy 策略：保留架构，现阶段仅实现 FULL 策略

-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

-
-You are an expert NVIDIA Nsys profiling analyst specializing in CUDA kernel performance analysis and GPU-CPU communication optimization. Your role is to collect profiling data using the framework's scripts and provide precise, actionable analysis based on the main agent's specific questions.
-
-## Your Capabilities
-
-1. **Profile Data Collection**: Execute profiling scripts to generate .nsys-rep files
-2. **Statistical Analysis**: Extract kernel timing, memory transfer, and API call statistics
-3. **Timeline Analysis**: Identify gaps, overlaps, and bottlenecks in execution
-4. **Comparative Analysis**: Compare different configurations (GPU-only vs offload, different slot counts)
-
-## Available Profiling Scripts
-
-### CPU Offload Mode
-```bash
-bash scripts/profile_offload.sh [OPTIONS]
-```
-Options:
-- `--dataset <name>`: RULER task name (default: niah_single_1)
-- `--sample <index>`: Sample index (default: 0)
-- `--gpu <id>`: GPU to use (default: 0)
-- `--num-gpu-blocks <n>`: Ring buffer slots (default: 4)
-- `--no-offload`: Disable CPU offload for comparison
-
-### GPU-Only Mode
-```bash
-bash scripts/profile_gpu_only.sh [OPTIONS]
-```
-Similar options for profiling without CPU offload.
-
-## Core Nsys Commands
-
-### Profiling (handled by scripts)
-```bash
-# The scripts internally run:
-nsys profile --trace=cuda,nvtx --output=<path> --force-overwrite true python <script.py>
-```
-
-### Statistical Analysis
-```bash
-# CUDA API summary (H2D, D2H, kernel launches)
-nsys stats --report cuda_api_sum <file>.nsys-rep
-
-# GPU kernel summary (execution time per kernel)
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum <file>.nsys-rep
-
-# Memory operations summary
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_mem_time_sum <file>.nsys-rep
-
-# NVTX ranges (custom markers)
-nsys stats --report nvtx_sum <file>.nsys-rep
-
-# Export to SQLite for advanced queries
-nsys export --type=sqlite --output=<file>.sqlite <file>.nsys-rep
-```
-
-### Key Report Types
-| Report | Purpose |
-|--------|--------|
-| `cuda_api_sum` | CPU-side CUDA API call timing |
-| `cuda_gpu_kern_sum` | GPU kernel execution time |
-| `cuda_gpu_mem_time_sum` | Memory transfer timing on GPU |
-| `nvtx_sum` | Custom NVTX marker statistics |
-| `cuda_api_trace` | Detailed API call trace |
-| `cuda_gpu_trace` | Detailed GPU operation trace |
-
-## Analysis Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Collect Profile Data
-```bash
-# Example: Profile offload mode with 8 slots
-bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8 --sample 0
-# Output: results/nsys/ruler_niah_single_1_sample0_offload_8slots_<timestamp>.nsys-rep
-```
-
-### Step 2: Identify Output File
-```bash
-# Find the latest profile
-ls -lt results/nsys/*.nsys-rep | head -1
-```
-
-### Step 3: Run Statistical Analysis
-```bash
-# Kernel timing analysis
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/<file>.nsys-rep
-
-# Memory transfer analysis
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_mem_time_sum results/nsys/<file>.nsys-rep
-```
-
-### Step 4: Interpret Results
-Focus on:
-- **Total kernel time** vs **total transfer time**
-- **Kernel launch gaps** indicating synchronization issues
-- **Memory bandwidth utilization**
-- **Overlap efficiency** between compute and communication
-
-## Common Analysis Patterns
-
-### 1. Kernel Performance Breakdown
-```bash
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum --format csv <file>.nsys-rep | \
-  sort -t',' -k3 -rn | head -10  # Top 10 by total time
-```
-
-### 2. H2D/D2H Transfer Analysis
-```bash
-nsys stats --report cuda_api_sum <file>.nsys-rep | grep -E "cudaMemcpy|cudaMemcpyAsync"
-```
-
-### 3. Flash Attention Kernel Analysis
-```bash
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum <file>.nsys-rep | grep -i "flash\|fwd\|bwd"
-```
-
-### 4. Pipeline Overlap Check
-Look for:
-- `flash_fwd_kernel` execution during `cudaMemcpyAsync`
-- Gap between consecutive kernel launches
-
-## Output Format Requirements
-
-When reporting results to the main agent, use this structured format:
-
-```markdown
-## Nsys Analysis Results: [Analysis Topic]
-
-### Profile Information
-- **File**: <profile_file_path>
-- **Mode**: GPU-only / Offload (<N> slots)
-- **Dataset**: <dataset_name>, Sample <index>
-
-### Key Findings
-| Metric | Value | Notes |
-|--------|-------|-------|
-| Total kernel time | X ms | |
-| Total H2D time | Y ms | |
-| Overlap efficiency | Z% | |
-
-### Top Kernels by Time
-| Kernel | Count | Total (ms) | Avg (μs) |
-|--------|-------|------------|----------|
-| kernel_name | N | X.XX | Y.YY |
-
-### Specific Analysis
-[Answer to the main agent's specific question]
-
-### Recommendations (if applicable)
-1. [Actionable recommendation]
-2. [Actionable recommendation]
-```
-
-## Important Guidelines
-
-1. **Always use the provided scripts** for profiling - do not run nsys directly
-2. **Check GPU availability** before profiling (ask main agent for GPU ID if not specified)
-3. **Use PYTHONPATH** for the worktree: `PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH`
-4. **Report concisely** - focus on metrics relevant to the main agent's question
-5. **Include file paths** so results can be reproduced or visualized in nsight-sys
-6. **For web searches** about nsys usage, use tools to search NVIDIA documentation
-
-## Error Handling
-
-- If profile script fails: Check GPU memory, CUDA version, and script parameters
-- If stats command fails: Verify .nsys-rep file exists and is not corrupted
-- If no data: Ensure the profiled operation actually ran (check sample index, dataset)
-
-## Network Search Guidelines
-
-When encountering unfamiliar nsys options or analysis techniques:
-1. Search NVIDIA Nsight Systems documentation
-2. Look for nsys CLI reference guides
-3. Search for specific report type interpretations
-
-Always validate search results against the actual nsys --help output.

-
-## 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

-**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

-/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

-# 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.

-# 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

-## 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
-
-# ✅ Correct: Offload + 32K
-python tests/test_needle.py --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct --enable-offload --input-len 32768

-# GPU VRAM Requirement Rule
-
-## GPU-only 模式显存要求
-
-**强制规则**：执行 GPU-only 代码（不启用 CPU offload）时，**必须**在 40GB 及以上显存的 GPU 上进行测试。
-
-### 检测方法
-
-在运行 GPU-only 测试之前，**必须**先检查 GPU 显存：
-
-```bash
-nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,name,memory.total --format=csv,noheader
-```
-
-### GPU 分类
-
-| GPU 型号 | 显存 | GPU-only 测试 |
-|----------|------|---------------|
-| A100 40GB | 40GB | ✅ 允许 |
-| A100 80GB | 80GB | ✅ 允许 |
-| H100 80GB | 80GB | ✅ 允许 |
-| A6000 | 48GB | ✅ 允许 |
-| RTX 3090 | 24GB | ❌ **禁止**（仅 offload 模式） |
-| RTX 4090 | 24GB | ❌ **禁止**（仅 offload 模式） |
-
-### 执行流程
-
-1. **检测 GPU 显存**（必须）
-2. **显存 >= 40GB**：继续执行 GPU-only 测试
-3. **显存 < 40GB**：**停止**，提示用户：
-   > "当前 GPU 显存为 XXX GB，不满足 GPU-only 模式的最低 40GB 要求。请使用 `--enable-offload` 参数启用 CPU offload 模式。"
-
-### 代码示例
-
-```python
-# 在运行 GPU-only benchmark 之前
-import subprocess
-result = subprocess.run(
-    ["nvidia-smi", "--query-gpu=memory.total", "--format=csv,noheader,nounits"],
-    capture_output=True, text=True
-)
-vram_mb = int(result.stdout.strip().split('\n')[0])
-if vram_mb < 40000:  # 40GB = 40000MB
-    raise RuntimeError(f"GPU VRAM ({vram_mb}MB) < 40GB. Use --enable-offload for this GPU.")
-```
-
-### 适用范围
-
-| 脚本 | 适用此规则 |
-|------|-----------|
-| `bench.py` | ✅ 必须检查显存 |
-| `bench_offload.py` | ❌ 不适用（始终使用 offload） |
-| `tests/test_*.py --enable-offload` | ❌ 不适用 |
-| `tests/test_*.py` (无 offload) | ✅ 必须检查显存 |

-# 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.

-# Sparse Policy 代码规范
-
-## Policy 不能为 None (CRITICAL)
-
-**强制规则**: `sparse_policy` 参数**永远不能为 None**，必须至少为 `FullAttentionPolicy`。
-
-```python
-# ❌ 错误：允许 None
-sparse_policy = getattr(config, 'sparse_policy', None)
-
-# ✅ 正确：显式处理 None，默认使用 FULL
-sparse_policy_type = getattr(config, 'sparse_policy', None)
-if sparse_policy_type is None:
-    sparse_policy_type = SparsePolicyType.FULL
-```
-
-**原因**:
-1. 统一的 API：所有代码路径都通过 policy 进行 attention 计算
-2. 避免空指针：消除 `policy.xxx` 调用时的 None 检查
-3. 简化逻辑：不需要 `if policy is not None` 的分支
-
-**唯一例外：Warmup 阶段**
-
-在 `model_runner.warmup_model()` 期间，kvcache_manager 还未分配。此时 `attention.py` 使用 flash_attn fallback：

-# attention.py 中的 warmup 处理
-if context.kvcache_manager is None:
-    # Warmup phase: use flash_attn directly
-    return flash_attn_varlen_func(...) if context.is_prefill else flash_attn_with_kvcache(...)

-|------|---------|------|
-| `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 Code Style
+## Test File Guidelines
 
-所有测试代码遵循以下风格：
+### Naming Convention
 
-### 文件结构
+- 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
 
 ```python
-"""
-Test: [模块名称]
+# Example structure:
 
-[简要说明测试内容和数据流]
-"""
 import torch
-import sys
-sys.path.insert(0, "/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm")
-from nanovllm.xxx import xxx
+from nanovllm.kvcache import SomeModule
 
 # ============================================================
-# 参数配置
+# Utility Functions
 # ============================================================
 
-param1 = value1  # 说明约束条件
-param2 = value2
+def verify(tensor, expected, name):
+    actual = tensor.mean().item()
+    assert abs(actual - expected) < 0.01, f"{name}: {actual} != {expected}"
 
 # ============================================================
-# 构造输入
+# Main Test Script
 # ============================================================
 
-input_tensor = ...  # 使用结构化数据便于验证
+# 1. Initialize
+module = SomeModule(param=value)
 
-# ============================================================
-# Step N: [操作名称]
-# ============================================================
+# 2. Test feature X
+result = module.do_something()
+assert result == expected_value
 
-output = some_function(input_tensor, ...)
-
-# 验证: [验证逻辑说明]
-expected = ...
-actual = output[...].item()
-assert actual == expected, f"xxx: {actual} != {expected}"
+# 3. Test feature Y
+...
 
 print("test_xxx: PASSED")
 ```
 
-### 核心原则
+### Comments
 
-| 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 |
+- Keep comments concise and clear
+- Only add comments where the code isn't self-explanatory
+- Use section headers (`# === Section ===`) to organize logical blocks
 
-### 输出规范
+### Output
 
-```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
-```
+- **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
 
 ## Running Tests
 
-```bash
-# 运行单个测试
-PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_xxx.py
+Use PYTHONPATH for multi-instance isolation (no pip install needed):
 
-# 指定 GPU
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_xxx.py
+```bash
+# Run a specific test
+PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_offload_engine.py
+
+# Run with specific GPU
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ring_buffer.py
 ```
 
 ## Benchmarks
 
 ```bash
-python bench.py           # GPU benchmark
-python bench_offload.py   # CPU offload benchmark
-python bench_vllm.py      # vLLM comparison

-
-**Offload Mode Constraint**: When using `enable_cpu_offload=True`, only test with context length ≥ 32K. Shorter contexts don't exercise the chunked offload pipeline properly.

 **Common Issues**:
 1. `max_num_batched_tokens < max_model_len`: Set equal for long context
 2. CUDA graph dimension mismatch: Ensure `input_len + output_len <= max_model_len`

+intermediate_size = 14336
+num_layers = 32
+num_heads = 32
+num_kv_heads = 8
+head_dim = 128
+seq_len = 65536
+dtype = bfloat16 (2 bytes)
+```
+
+## 理论内存占用
+
+### GPU Only 模式
+
+| 组件 | 计算公式 | 内存占用 |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| 模型权重 | 8.03B × 2 bytes | **16.06 GB** |
+| KV Cache | 32 × 65536 × 8 × 128 × 2 × 2 | **8.19 GB** |
+| Prefill 激活值峰值 | max(QKV, MLP) | **~2 GB** |
+| **总计** | | **~26 GB** |
+
+**结论**：GPU only 模式需要 ~26 GB，**RTX 3090 (24GB) 无法运行**。
+
+### CPU Offload 模式
+
+| 组件 | 计算公式 | 内存占用 |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| 模型权重 | 8.03B × 2 bytes | **16.06 GB** |
+| Ring buffer | num_kv_buffers × seq_len × 128 KB/token | 258-1034 MB |
+| GPU KV blocks | num_gpu_blocks × block_size × 128 KB/token | 256 MB (2 blocks) |
+| Per-layer decode buffer | 32 layers × 缓冲 | 128 MB |
+| 激活值峰值 (chunked) | chunk_size × hidden_size × 2 | ~50 MB |
+| PyTorch 开销 | CUDA 上下文 + 碎片 | ~5-6 GB |
+| **理论小计** | | **~17.5 GB** |
+| **实际需求** | | **~23 GB** |
+
+**配置参数**：
+- `num_kv_buffers`: Ring buffer 大小 (1-4)，默认 4
+- `num_gpu_blocks`: GPU 上的 KV cache block 数量
+- `block_size`: 每个 block 的 token 数

+
+```
+PyTorch allocated:     22.49 GB
+PyTorch reserved:      429 MB
+Free:                  306 MB
+Total available:       735 MB
+Failed to allocate:    508 MB (torch.cat)
+```
+
+### 内存碎片来源
+
+| 来源 | 说明 | 影响 |
+|------|------|------|
+| Binned 分配器 | PyTorch 使用固定大小的内存池 | 中等 |
+| torch.compile 缓存 | 编译后的 kernel 代码和常量 | 高 (~2-3 GB) |
+| 频繁分配/释放 | chunked 处理中每个 chunk 的创建销毁 | 高 |
+| 不同大小张量 | (128,4096), (65536,6144) 等 | 中等 |
+
+### torch.cat 内存需求
+
+Chunked MLP 处理（chunk_size=128）：
+```
+65536 / 128 = 512 chunks
+每个 chunk 输出: (128, 4096) × 2 bytes = 1 MB
+torch.cat 拼接需要: (65536, 4096) × 2 bytes = 508 MB (连续)
+```
+
+## 已尝试的优化
+
+| 优化项 | 效果 |
+|--------|------|
+| 移除 `@torch.compile` | PyTorch: 23.13 → 22.80 GB (-300 MB) |
+| 减少 `num_kv_buffers` (4→1) | Ring buffer: 1034 → 258 MB (-776 MB) |
+| Chunked QKV/MLP/LayerNorm | 峰值激活: ~2 GB → ~50 MB |
+| 降低 GPU 利用率 (0.9→0.75) | 无明显效果 |
+| 减小 chunk_size (4096→128) | 峰值降低，但 torch.cat 需要连续内存 |
+
+### 最终状态
+
+```
+理论需求:    ~17.5 GB
+实际分配:    22.49 GB
+剩余空间:    735 MB (306 MB + 429 MB reserved)
+分配失败:    508 MB (torch.cat 需要连续内存)
+```
+
+## 结论
+
+### 根本原因
+
+**不是绝对内存不足，而是内存碎片导致的分配失败**。
+
+理论需求 17.5 GB < 24 GB，但由于：
+- PyTorch 开销（CUDA 上下文、碎片）：~5-6 GB
+- torch.compile 缓存：~2-3 GB（已移除）
+- 内存碎片导致无法分配 508 MB 连续块
+
+### 硬件限制
+
+| GPU | 显存 | 64k GPU Only | 64k Offload |
+|-----|------|--------------|--------------|
+| RTX 3090 | 24 GB | ❌ | ⚠️ 碎片问题 |
+| RTX 4090 | 24 GB | ❌ | ⚠️ 碎片问题 |
+| A100 | 40 GB | ✅ | ✅ |
+| A100 | 80 GB | ✅ | ✅ |
+
+### 建议
+
+1. **64k 推理建议使用 40GB+ 显存的 GPU**
+2. RTX 3090/4090 适合 32k 或更短的场景
+3. 如必须在 24GB GPU 上运行 64k：
+   - 使用 RAPIDS RMM 分配器
+   - 预分配 torch.cat 需要的内存
+   - 或使用流式处理避免 torch.cat

+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Memory Breakdown
+
+| Component | Calculation | Size |
+|-----------|-------------|------|
+| Model weights (BF16) | 8B params × 2 bytes | ~16 GB |
+| GPU KV cache | 2 blocks × 1024 tokens × 8KB/token | ~16 MB |
+| **Remaining for activations** | 24 - 16 - overhead | **~6-7 GB** |
+
+### MLP Activation Memory (per layer)
+
+For LLaMA 3.1 8B with `hidden_size=4096`, `intermediate_size=14336`:
+
+| Tensor | Shape | Size (BF16) |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| MLP input | [65536, 4096] | 512 MB |
+| gate_up output | [65536, 28672] | **3.47 GB** |
+| down_proj input | [65536, 14336] | 1.75 GB |
+| MLP output | [65536, 4096] | 512 MB |
+
+**Peak MLP memory**: ~3.5-4 GB for intermediate tensors
+
+### Why OOM Occurs
+
+1. Model weights consume ~16 GB (loaded on GPU for layer-wise processing)
+2. Available memory: ~7 GB
+3. MLP `gate_up_proj` output: 3.47 GB
+4. Additional tensors (input, gradients, etc.): ~1-2 GB
+5. **Total required > Available** → OOM
+
+## Code Location
+
+The issue is in `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py`:
+
+```python
+# Line 843 in run_layerwise_offload_prefill
+hidden_states = layer.mlp(hidden_states)  # <-- OOM here
+```
+
+The entire sequence (65536 tokens) is passed through MLP in one shot.
+
+## Current Configuration
+
+From `model_wrappers.py` (RULER integration):
+
+```python
+llm_kwargs = {
+    "max_model_len": max_model_len,           # 128 * 1024
+    "max_num_batched_tokens": max_model_len,  # Same as max_model_len
+    "enable_cpu_offload": True,
+    "num_gpu_blocks": 2,
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+Setting `max_num_batched_tokens = max_model_len` causes nanovllm to process all tokens at once.
+
+## Potential Solutions
+
+### Option 1: Chunked MLP Processing
+
+Modify `run_layerwise_offload_prefill` to process MLP in chunks:
+
+```python
+# Instead of:
+hidden_states = layer.mlp(hidden_states)
+
+# Do:
+chunk_size = 8192  # Process 8K tokens at a time
+chunks = hidden_states.split(chunk_size, dim=0)
+outputs = []
+for chunk in chunks:
+    outputs.append(layer.mlp(chunk))
+hidden_states = torch.cat(outputs, dim=0)
+```
+
+### Option 2: Activation Checkpointing
+
+Use gradient checkpointing to recompute activations instead of storing them:
+
+```python
+from torch.utils.checkpoint import checkpoint
+hidden_states = checkpoint(layer.mlp, hidden_states, use_reentrant=False)
+```
+
+### Option 3: Reduce Chunk Size via Config
+
+Add a new config parameter `prefill_chunk_size` to control how many tokens are processed per forward pass.
+
+## Memory Estimation Formula
+
+For a given sequence length `S` and model config:
+
+```
+MLP_peak_memory = S × intermediate_size × 2 × 2 bytes
+                = S × 14336 × 4 bytes
+
+For S = 65536:
+MLP_peak = 65536 × 14336 × 4 = 3.76 GB
+```
+
+Maximum safe sequence length for RTX 3090 (24GB):
+```
+S_max = available_memory / (intermediate_size × 4)
+      = 6GB / (14336 × 4)
+      ≈ 100K tokens (theoretical)
+      ≈ 8-16K tokens (practical, with safety margin)
+```
+
+## Reproduction Steps
+
+```bash
+cd /home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/eval/RULER/scripts
+
+# Set SEQ_LENGTHS to 65536 in config_models.sh
+# Then run:
+./run.sh llama3.1-8b-nanovllm synthetic --metric full --task niah_single_1
+```

 # Architecture Guide
 
-This document describes the core components and design of nano-vLLM, with detailed focus on the CPU offload system.
+This document describes the core architecture and layer-wise CPU offload system of nano-vLLM.
 
 ## Core Components
 
-### LLMEngine (`llm_engine.py`)
-Main entry point that runs the prefill-decode loop. Manages the overall inference workflow.
+| Component | File | Purpose |
+|-----------|------|---------|
+| **LLMEngine** | `llm_engine.py` | Main entry, runs prefill-decode loop |
+| **ModelRunner** | `model_runner.py` | Loads weights, allocates KV cache, CUDA graphs, layer-wise offload |
+| **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 for standard inference |
 
-### ModelRunner (`model_runner.py`)
-- Loads model weights
-- Allocates KV cache
-- Manages CUDA graphs for decode acceleration
+## Layer-wise CPU Offload System
 
-### Scheduler (`scheduler.py`)
-Two-phase scheduling system:
-- **Prefill phase**: Processes prompt tokens
-- **Decode phase**: Generates output tokens autoregressively
+### Design Philosophy
 
-### 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:
+Unlike chunked prefill (which processes chunks across all layers), **layer-wise offload** processes the entire sequence through one layer at a time:
 
 ```
-GPU Slots: [0]  [1]  [2]  [3]  ...  (unified ring buffer)
-Prefill:  slot = chunk_idx % N
-Decode:   slot[0] = decode, slots[1:] = load previous chunks
+Layer 0: [full sequence] → compute → offload K,V to CPU
+Layer 1: [full sequence] → compute → offload K,V to CPU
+...
+Layer N: [full sequence] → compute → offload K,V to CPU
 ```
 
-**Key Files**: `kvcache/offload_engine.py`, `kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`
+**Benefits**:
+- Supports MInference sparse attention (requires full KV access per layer)
+- Simpler memory management (one layer's KV in GPU at a time)
+- Peak GPU memory = one layer's KV cache + attention workspace
+

 ### Memory Layout
 
-**GPU Memory**:
-```
-[num_layers, num_gpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
+**CPU Cache** (pinned memory):
+```python
+k_cache_cpu: [num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
+v_cache_cpu: [num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 
-**CPU Memory** (pinned):
-```
-[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
+**GPU Ring Buffer** (for decode H2D pipeline):
+```python
+layer_k_cache: [num_kv_buffers, max_seq_len, kv_heads, head_dim]
+layer_v_cache: [num_kv_buffers, max_seq_len, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 
-### Key Methods
+**Per-layer KV size** (Qwen3-4B: 8 kv_heads × 128 head_dim × 2 bytes × 2 for K+V = 4KB/token):
 
-| 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
+| Context Length | KV per Layer |
+|----------------|--------------|
+| 128K tokens | 512 MB |
+| 256K tokens | 1 GB |
+| 512K tokens | 2 GB |
+| 1M tokens | 4 GB |

+## Decode Flow
+
+```python
+def run_layerwise_offload_decode(self, seqs: list[Sequence]) -> list[int]:
+    # Ring buffer pipeline: preload first N layers
+    for i in range(num_buffers):
+        offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(i, i, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens)
+
+    # For each layer:

+
+        # 1. Wait for buffer load to complete
+        offload_engine.wait_buffer_load(current_buffer)
+
+        # 2. Get prefilled KV from ring buffer
+        k_prefill, v_prefill = offload_engine.get_buffer_kv(current_buffer, total_prefill_tokens)
+
+        # 3. Compute new Q,K,V for current token
+        q_new = apply_rotary_pos_emb(q_proj(hidden_states), cos, sin)
+        k_new = apply_rotary_pos_emb(k_proj(hidden_states), cos, sin)
+        v_new = v_proj(hidden_states)
+
+        # 4. Concatenate and compute attention
+        k_full = torch.cat([k_prefill, k_new], dim=0)
+        v_full = torch.cat([v_prefill, v_new], dim=0)
+        attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(q_new, k_full, v_full, ..., causal=False)
+        # Note: causal=False because single query token should attend to ALL keys
+
+        # 5. Mark buffer done, start loading next layer
+        offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)
+        if layer_id + num_buffers < num_layers:
+            offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(current_buffer, layer_id + num_buffers, ...)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Critical Implementation Details
+
+### 1. Synchronous Offload Required
+
+Async offload with `non_blocking=True` causes memory reuse bugs:
+
+```python
+# BUG: PyTorch may reuse k,v GPU memory before async copy completes
+offload_engine.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, block_id].copy_(k[start:end], non_blocking=True)
+
+# CORRECT: Synchronous copy ensures data integrity
+offload_engine.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, block_id, :size].copy_(k[start:end])  # sync
+```
+
+### 2. Decode Attention: causal=False
+
+During decode, the single query token must attend to ALL keys (not just preceding ones):
+
+```python
+# Prefill: causal=True (each token only attends to previous tokens)
+attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(..., causal=True)
+
+# Decode: causal=False (query at position N attends to all N-1 prefill + itself)
+attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(..., causal=False)
+```
+
+### 3. Ring Buffer Synchronization
+
+The ring buffer pipeline requires careful ordering:
+
+```python
+# CORRECT order:
+offload_engine.store_decode_kv(layer_id, pos, k_new, v_new)  # Store new KV
+offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)     # Mark done FIRST
+offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(...)                   # THEN start next load
+
+# BUG: Starting load before marking done causes race condition
+offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(...)  # WRONG: buffer still in use!
+offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Helper Methods in HybridKVCacheManager
+
+```python
+# Get all CPU blocks for a sequence
+cpu_blocks = manager.get_all_cpu_blocks(seq)  # List[int]
+
+# Get only prefilled (offloaded) CPU blocks
+prefilled_blocks = manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)  # List[int]
+
+# Get cached prefill length (doesn't change during decode)
+prefill_len = manager.get_prefill_len(seq)  # int
+
+# Get decode start position
+decode_pos = manager.get_decode_start_pos(seq)  # int

-
-## 关键发现
-
-### 1. GPU-only vs CPU Offload 模式差异
-
-| 模式 | XAttention 效果 | 原因 |
-|------|-----------------|------|
-| **GPU-only** | ✅ 显著加速 (+15% ~ +41%) | 计算是瓶颈，稀疏注意力减少 FLOPs |
-| **CPU Offload (优化后)** | ✅ 长上下文略有收益 | estimate_block_size 优化减少估计开销 |
-| **CPU Offload (优化前)** | ❌ 性能下降 (-14% ~ -59%) | 传输是瓶颈，稀疏估计增加额外开销 |
-
-### 2. Block Size 对性能的影响
-
-| Block Size | 64K Full (Offload) | 特点 |
-|------------|-------------------|------|
-| 4096 | 3329 tok/s | ⭐ 最佳性能 |
-| 1024 | ~1500 tok/s | 中等 |
-| 256 | 163 tok/s | 极慢（20x 下降） |
-
-**原因**: 更小的 block = 更多的 blocks = 更多 H2D 传输开销
-
-### 3. XAttention 在小 Block Size 下反转
-
-当 block size = 256 时，XAttention 反而略有优势 (+2.7%)：
-- 256 个 blocks (vs 16 个 @ 4096)
-- 稀疏跳过的 blocks 比例更明显
-- 但绝对性能极差，不推荐使用
-
-### 4. estimate_block_size 优化效果 (2026-01-28)

-64K:    -20.6%   -3.8%    +16.8pp
-128K:   -59.1%   +2.4%    +61.5pp ✅
-```
-
-优化内容：
-- `estimate_block_size` 从 4096 改为 1024
-- `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 时间从 48% 降到 1% (44x 加速)
-- 选择策略从 mask + voting 改为 score + threshold
-
-优化后结论：
-- **128K 长上下文 XAttention 反超 Full Attention**
-- 短上下文仍有少量开销，但已显著减少
-
-## 结论
-
-### 推荐配置 (优化后, 2026-01-28)
-
-| 场景 | 推荐策略 | Block Size |
-|------|----------|------------|
-| GPU-only (VRAM 充足) | XAttention | 4096 |

-
-### XAttention 适用条件 (优化后)
-
-✅ **适合**:
-- GPU-only 模式（计算密集）
-- CPU Offload + 长上下文（128K+）有正向收益
-- 长上下文（64K+）收益更大
-
-⚠️ **中性**:

-| 32K | 4678 tok/s | 4717 tok/s | **+0.8%** |
-| 64K | 3331 tok/s | 3411 tok/s | **+2.4%** |
-| 128K | 2144 tok/s | 2178 tok/s | **+1.6%** |
-
-### 关键发现
-
-1. **端到端提升有限**（0.8% ~ 2.4%）：merge 操作不是主要瓶颈
-   - H2D 传输占主导（64K 传输 64GB）
-   - Attention 计算是另一主要耗时
-   - Merge 在总耗时中占比很小
-
-2. **Merge kernel 单独对比**（长序列时 FlashInfer 优势明显）：
-
-| seq_len | heads | Triton (ms) | FlashInfer (ms) | Speedup |
-|---------|-------|-------------|-----------------|---------|
-| 4096 | 32 | 0.129 | 0.087 | **1.49x** |
-| 8192 | 32 | 0.251 | 0.147 | **1.70x** |
-| 16384 | 32 | 0.499 | 0.274 | **1.82x** |
-
-3. **短序列 FlashInfer 反而慢**：格式转换开销（squeeze, transpose, contiguous）
-
-### 技术细节
-
-- **LSE 格式差异**：FlashInfer 使用 log2，flash_attn 使用 ln
-- **转换系数**：`LOG2_E = 1.4427`（ln → log2），`LN_2 = 0.6931`（log2 → ln）
-- **FlashInfer attention JIT 问题**：CUDA 版本兼容性问题，仅使用 merge_state

+# Block-Sparse-Attention Library Reference
+
+MIT Han Lab 的块稀疏注意力内核库，基于 FlashAttention 2.4.2 修改，支持多种稀疏注意力模式。
+
+## 库信息
+
+- **来源**: [MIT-Han-Lab/Block-Sparse-Attention](https://github.com/mit-han-lab/Block-Sparse-Attention)
+- **本地路径**: `3rdparty/Block-Sparse-Attention` (submodule, branch: `tzj/minference`)
+- **基于**: FlashAttention 2.4.2
+- **安装位置**: `site-packages/block_sparse_attn`
+
+## 支持的稀疏模式
+
+### 1. Dense Attention
+计算完整注意力矩阵，无稀疏化。
+
+### 2. Token Streaming (token granularity)
+固定数量的 sink tokens + local tokens，参考 [StreamingLLM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.17453)。
+
+**适用场景**: 需要精确保留部分关键 token 的长上下文推理
+
+### 3. Block Streaming (block granularity)
+Block 粒度的 streaming attention，block_size = 128。
+
+**适用场景**: 长序列推理，牺牲少量精度换取更大加速
+
+### 4. Block Sparse
+基于自定义 block mask 的稀疏注意力。
+
+**适用场景**: 已知特定 attention 模式的工作负载
+
+### 混合模式
+
+**关键特性**: 支持不同 head 使用不同稀疏模式
+
+```python
+# 8 个 heads 的混合配置示例
+head_mask_type = [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, -1]
+# 含义:
+# - head 0,1: blocksparse (使用 basemask[0])
+# - head 2-4,6: dense
+# - head 5,7: streaming
+```
+
+**Mask 类型编码**:
+- `0` = Dense attention
+- `-1` = Streaming attention
+- `1, 2, ...` = Block sparse (使用 basemask[mask_type - 1])
+
+## API 参考
+
+### `block_sparse_attn_func`
+
+通用块稀疏注意力函数，支持所有模式。
+
+```python
+from block_sparse_attn import block_sparse_attn_func
+
+output = block_sparse_attn_func(
+    q, k, v,                    # [total_tokens, heads, head_dim] unpadded
+    cu_seqlens_q, cu_seqlens_k, # cumulative sequence lengths
+    head_mask_type,             # [heads] tensor, 每个头的模式
+    streaming_info,             # streaming 配置 (sink/local 数量)
+    base_blockmask,             # [q_blocks, k_blocks, n_masks] bool tensor
+    max_seqlen_q, max_seqlen_k, # 最大序列长度
+    p_dropout,                  # dropout 概率 (推理时设为 0.0)
+    deterministic=False,
+    softmax_scale=None,
+    is_causal=False,
+    exact_streaming=False,      # True=token streaming, False=block streaming
+    return_attn_probs=False,
+)
+```
+
+**关键参数**:
+| 参数 | 类型 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `head_mask_type` | Tensor[heads] | 每个头的稀疏模式，0=dense, -1=streaming, 1+=blocksparse |
+| `streaming_info` | Tensor | [sink_blocks, local_blocks] 或 [sink_tokens, local_tokens] |
+| `base_blockmask` | Tensor | Block mask，形状 [q_blocks, k_blocks, n_masks] |
+| `exact_streaming` | bool | True=token 粒度，False=block 粒度 streaming |
+
+### `block_streaming_attn_func`
+
+Block 粒度 streaming attention（block_size=128）。
+
+```python
+from block_sparse_attn import block_streaming_attn_func
+
+output = block_streaming_attn_func(
+    q, k, v,
+    cu_seqlens_q, cu_seqlens_k,
+    head_mask_type,
+    streaming_info,             # [sink_blocks, local_blocks]
+    max_seqlen_q, max_seqlen_k,
+    p_dropout,
+    deterministic=False,
+    softmax_scale=None,
+    is_causal=True,
+    return_attn_probs=False,
+)
+```
+
+### `token_streaming_attn_func`
+
+Token 粒度 streaming attention。
+
+**注意**: 不支持反向传播（仅推理）。
+
+```python
+from block_sparse_attn import token_streaming_attn_func
+
+output = token_streaming_attn_func(
+    q, k, v,
+    cu_seqlens_q, cu_seqlens_k,
+    head_mask_type,
+    streaming_info,             # [sink_tokens, local_tokens]
+    max_seqlen_q, max_seqlen_k,
+    deterministic=False,
+    softmax_scale=None,
+    return_attn_probs=False,
+)
+```
+
+## 技术规格
+
+| 特性 | 支持情况 |
+|------|----------|
+| **数据类型** | fp16, bf16 (bf16 需要 Ampere/Ada/Hopper GPU) |
+| **Head 维度** | 32, 64, 128 |
+| **Block Size** | 128 (固定) |
+| **CUDA 要求** | 11.6+ |
+| **PyTorch 要求** | 1.12+ |
+
+## 性能参考
+
+测试环境: A100 GPU, head_dim=128, 32 heads, batch_size=1
+
+### Block Sparse 加速比
+- 相比 FlashAttention2: 最高 **3-4x** 加速
+- 加速随序列长度增加而提升
+
+### Streaming 混合模式加速比
+- Token streaming: 64 sink + 256 local tokens
+- Block streaming: 1 sink block + 3 local blocks
+- **50% Dense + 50% Streaming**: 最高 **2x** 加速
+
+## 与 nano-vllm 的集成考虑
+
+### 潜在集成点
+
+1. **长上下文推理优化**
+   - 使用 block streaming 减少计算量
+   - 在 CPU offload 模式下减少 GPU-CPU 传输
+
+2. **混合注意力策略**
+   - 部分 head 使用 streaming（减少计算）
+   - 部分 head 使用 dense（保持精度）
+   - 参考 Duo Attention 论文的混合模式
+
+3. **稀疏 offload**
+   - 只 offload 重要 blocks 的 KV cache
+   - 结合 `requires_block_selection` 接口
+
+### 实现注意事项
+
+1. **输入格式**: 库使用 unpadded 格式（`cu_seqlens`），需要与 nano-vllm 的 padded 格式转换
+2. **Block size 固定**: 库固定 block_size=128，需要适配
+3. **Streaming info 配置**: 需要根据模型特性调整 sink/local 数量

-## Bug Fixes
-
-### XAttention Offload GQA Buffer OOM Fix
-
-**Issue**: `docs/issue_xattn_offload_gqa_buffer_oom.md`
-
-**Problem**: 在 XAttention BSA + CPU Offload 模式下，`alloc_policy_metadata()` 分配了只有 GPU-only 模式才需要的 GQA expansion buffers (`_k_expanded`, `_v_expanded`)，导致 24GB GPU (RTX 3090) 上 OOM。
-
-**Root Cause**:
-- GQA buffer 大小: `2 × num_heads × max_seq_len × head_dim × dtype_size`
-- 对于 1M max_seq_len: 2 × 32 × 1048576 × 128 × 2 = **16 GB**
-- Offload 模式的 `compute_chunked_prefill()` 不需要这些 buffer
-
-**Fix** (commit `11a867f`):
-1. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py`: 基类添加 `enable_cpu_offload` 参数
-2. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py`: offload 模式跳过 GQA buffer 分配
-3. `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py`: 传入 `enable_cpu_offload` 参数
-
-**Memory Savings**:
-| max_model_len | 修复前 | 修复后 |
-|---------------|--------|--------|
-| 72K | +1.1 GB | 0 GB |
-| 1M | +16 GB | 0 GB |
-
-**Verification**:
-```bash
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH \

+# Chunked Prefill 集成计划
+
+**目标**: 将 tzj/minference 分支的 chunked prefill 机制移植到 tzj/vs_offload 分支
+
+**创建日期**: 2026-01-18
+**基础分支**: `tzj/vs_offload`
+**源分支**: `tzj/minference`
+
+---
+
+## 目标
+
+在 tzj/vs_offload 分支上实现 chunked prefill + layerwise offload 机制，支持在 24GB RTX 3090 上运行任意长度的推理（4M, 8M, 16M+ tokens）。
+
+---
+
+## 核心问题
+
+### tzj/vs_offload 分支的局限性
+
+当前 tzj/vs_offload 分支的 GPU ring buffer 按 `max_seq_len` 分配，导致 GPU 内存随序列长度线性增长：
+
+```python
+# 当前设计
+self.layer_k_cache = torch.zeros(
+    num_kv_buffers,      # e.g., 4
+    max_seq_len,         # e.g., 131072 tokens
+    kv_heads,
+    head_dim,
+    dtype=dtype, device="cuda"
+)
+```
+
+**问题**：
+- GPU 内存需求 ~ `max_seq_len × 4 × 8 × 128 × 2 bytes`
+- 对于超长序列不可行：
+  - 4M tokens → ~64 GB GPU 内存 ❌
+  - 8M tokens → ~128 GB GPU 内存 ❌
+
+### 解决方案：Block-Based 设计
+
+tzj/minference 分支采用 block-based 设计，GPU 内存固定：
+
+```python
+# Block-based 设计
+self.k_cache_gpu = torch.zeros(
+    num_gpu_blocks,      # e.g., 2
+    block_size,          # e.g., 1024 tokens (固定!)
+    kv_heads,
+    head_dim,
+    dtype=dtype, device="cuda"
+)
+# GPU 内存: ~4 MB (固定，不随序列长度增长)
+```
+
+**优势**：
+- GPU 内存固定（~1.6 GB），不随序列长度增长
+- 24GB RTX 3090 可运行 4M+ tokens
+- 通过 chunked prefill 分块处理超长序列
+
+---
+
+## 内存布局对比
+
+| 组件 | tzj/vs_offload | tzj/minference | 说明 |
+|------|---------------|----------------|------|
+| **GPU Ring Buffer** | `[num_kv_buffers, max_seq_len, ...]` | `[num_gpu_blocks, block_size, ...]` | minference 无 layer 维度 |
+| **GPU 内存** | ~2.15 GB (128K) → ~64 GB (4M) | ~4 MB (固定) | minference 节省显著 |
+| **Prefill Buffer** | ❌ 无 | ✅ `[num_layers, block_size, ...]` | minference 独有 |
+| **Pipeline Buffers** | ❌ 无 | ✅ 双缓冲区 `[blocks, block_size, ...]` | minference 独有 |
+| **CPU Cache** | `[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, ...]` | 相同 | **一致** |
+
+### 序列长度支持对比
+
+| 序列长度 | vs_offload GPU 内存 | minference GPU 内存 | RTX 3090 (24GB) |
+|----------|-------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
+| 128K tokens | ~2.15 GB | ~4 MB | ✅ 两者均可 |
+| 1M tokens | ~16 GB | ~4 MB | ✅ 两者均可 |
+| **4M tokens** | **~64 GB** ❌ | **~4 MB** ✅ | **仅 minference 可行** |
+| **8M tokens** | **~128 GB** ❌ | **~4 MB** ✅ | **仅 minference 可行** |
+| **16M+ tokens** | **~256 GB+** ❌ | **~4 MB** ✅ | **仅 minference 可行** |
+

+
+## 关键设计原则
+
+1. **Block-Based 设计**：按 `block_size` (1024 tokens) 组织，支持 chunked prefill
+2. **GPU 内存固定**：不随序列长度增长，是 constant factor
+3. **CPU 内存线性缩放**：`num_cpu_blocks = ceil(seq_len / block_size)`
+4. **Unified Ring Buffer**：无 layer 维度，所有层共享 slots
+5. **完全并行 offload**：per-layer buffer 最大化 PCIe 带宽
+
+---
+
+## 统一内存布局设计
+
+### GPU Memory Layout
+
+```python
+class OffloadEngine:
+    # 1. Unified Ring Buffer - Block-based，无 layer 维度
+    self.k_cache_gpu = torch.zeros(
+        num_gpu_blocks,  # e.g., 2
+        block_size,      # e.g., 1024
+        kv_heads,
+        head_dim,
+        dtype=dtype, device="cuda"
+    )  # ~4 MB (固定)
+
+    # 2. Per-layer Prefill Buffer - 完全并行 offload
+    self.prefill_k_buffer = torch.zeros(
+        num_layers, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim,
+        dtype=dtype, device="cuda"
+    )  # ~58 MB (固定)
+
+    # 3. Cross-layer Pipeline Buffers - Double-buffering
+    self.layer_k_buffer_a = torch.zeros(
+        max_prefill_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim,
+        dtype=dtype, device="cuda"
+    )  # ~512 MB (固定)
+    self.layer_k_buffer_b = torch.zeros(...)  # ~512 MB (固定)
+
+    # 4. Per-layer Decode Buffer
+    self.decode_k_buffer = torch.zeros(
+        num_layers, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim,
+        dtype=dtype, device="cuda"
+    )  # ~58 MB (固定)
+
+    # GPU 总计：~1.6 GB (固定，不随序列长度增长)
+```
+
+### CPU Memory Layout
+
+```python
+    # CPU Cache - 有 block 维度
+    self.k_cache_cpu = torch.zeros(
+        num_layers,
+        num_cpu_blocks,  # 随序列长度缩放
+        block_size,
+        kv_heads,
+        head_dim,
+        dtype=dtype, device="cpu", pin_memory=True
+    )
+    # 128K tokens: ~2.9 GB
+    # 1M tokens: ~5.8 GB
+    # 4M tokens: ~23.3 GB
+```
+
+---
+
+## Chunked Prefill 流程
+
+### Prefill 阶段
+
+```
+For each chunk:
+├── 1. Prepare chunk input (block_size tokens)
+├── 2. Get ring buffer slot: slot = chunk_idx % num_gpu_blocks
+├── 3. Load previous KV chunks to ring slots[1..N-1]
+├── 4. Model Forward (all layers)
+│   For each layer:
+│   ├── Load previous KV from ring slots
+│   ├── Compute attention (current chunk + previous)
+│   ├── Write KV to prefill_buffer[layer_id]  ← Per-layer!
+│   └── Async offload to CPU (parallel across layers)
+├── 5. Merge attention outputs (LSE)
+└── 6. Record compute done for slot
+
+Key: Per-layer prefill buffer → Layer 0 offload || Layer 1 compute || Layer 2 load ...
+```
+
+### Decode 阶段
+
+```
+├── 1. Setup pipeline: preload Layer 0 to buffer_a
+├── 2. For each layer:
+│   ├── Get KV from pipeline buffer (a or b)
+│   ├── Trigger preload of next layer to other buffer
+│   ├── Compute attention
+│   └── Store to decode buffer
+└── 3. End pipeline
+
+Key: Double-buffering → Layer N compute || Layer N+1 load
+```
+
+---
+
+## 合并策略
+
+### 基础分支选择：tzj/vs_offload
+
+**原因**：
+1. 更完善的文档系统
+2. 更完整的 sparse attention 实现（QUEST, XAttention 等）
+3. 更清晰的代码组织和注释
+4. 更活跃的开发维护
+
+### 移植策略
+
+**从 tzj/minference 移植**：
+1. GPU cache 内存布局（无 layer 维度，block-based）
+2. Per-layer prefill buffer
+3. Cross-layer pipeline buffers
+4. Chunked prefill 流程
+5. LSE 在线合并机制
+
+**保留 tzj/vs_offload 优势**：
+1. 文档系统
+2. Sparse policy 架构
+3. 代码组织和注释
+
+---
+
+## Sparse Policy 策略
+
+**策略**：保留架构，现阶段仅实现 FULL
+
+- **保留** sparse policy 的架构设计和接口
+- **预留** 扩展接口给未来的 QUEST 等其他策略
+- **现阶段仅实现** FULL 策略，确保正确性和稳定性
+
+### 实现
+
+```python
+class SparsePolicy(ABC):
+    @property
+    def supports_prefill(self) -> bool:
+        return False
+
+    @property
+    def supports_decode(self) -> bool:
+        return True
+
+    def on_prefill_offload(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id, k_cache, num_valid_tokens):
+        """预留给未来策略（如 QUEST 收集元数据）"""
+        pass
+
+    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, context) -> List[int]:
+        """FULL: 返回所有可用块"""
+        return available_blocks
+
+class FullAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    @property
+    def supports_prefill(self) -> bool:
+        return True
+
+    @property
+    def supports_decode(self) -> bool:
+        return True
+```
+
+---
+
+## 关键 API
+
+### Ring Buffer 管理
+
+```python
+# Prefill 阶段
+get_write_slot_for_prefill(chunk_idx) -> slot_idx
+get_load_slots_for_prefill(write_slot_idx) -> [slot_ids]
+
+# Decode 阶段
+get_load_slots_for_decode() -> [slot_ids] (excludes decode_slot)
+```
+
+### Per-layer 操作
+
+```python
+# 加载
+load_to_slot_layer(slot_idx, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+wait_slot_layer(slot_idx)
+
+# Prefill buffer
+get_prefill_buffer(layer_id) -> (k, v)
+offload_prefill_buffer_async(layer_id, cpu_block_id, num_tokens)
+wait_prefill_offload(layer_id)
+
+# Pipeline
+start_decode_pipeline(cpu_block_ids)
+get_decode_layer_kv(layer_id, num_blocks) -> (k, v)
+end_decode_pipeline()
+```
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## 关键决策
+
+1. **Block-Based 设计优先**：支持任意长度推理的核心
+2. **采用 tzj/minference 的内存布局**：GPU cache 无 layer 维度 + block-based
+3. **以 tzj/vs_offload 为基础分支**：更好的文档和代码组织

-# 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）

-# 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 |

+### Common Pitfalls
 
-### 1. Shape Mismatch
+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]`
 
-**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
-```
+## Memory Debugging
 
-### 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:
+### Track Peak GPU Memory
 
 ```python
 import torch
 
-def get_gpu_memory():
-    allocated = torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1024**3  # GB

-# Before inference
-alloc_before, reserved_before = get_gpu_memory()
+# Run operation

-# Run inference...
+# Check peak
+peak_gb = torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated() / 1024**3
+print(f"Peak GPU memory: {peak_gb:.2f} GB")
+```
 
-# 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")
+### Monitor Memory During Execution

+def memory_snapshot():
+    allocated = torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1024**3
+    reserved = torch.cuda.memory_reserved() / 1024**3

+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### 1. Prefill Sparse Integration Point
+
+**Location:** `model_runner.py:535-543`
+
+**Current:**
+```python
+attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
+    q, k, v,
+    cu_seqlens_q=cu_seqlens,
+    cu_seqlens_k=cu_seqlens,
+    max_seqlen_q=total_tokens,
+    max_seqlen_k=total_tokens,
+    softmax_scale=layer.self_attn.attn.scale,
+    causal=True,
+)
+```
+
+**After Integration:**
+```python
+if self.sparse_policy and self.sparse_policy.supports_offload_prefill:
+    attn_output, k_sparse, v_sparse = self.sparse_policy.offload_prefill_attention(
+        q, k, v, layer_id
+    )
+    k_to_offload = k_sparse if k_sparse is not None else k
+    v_to_offload = v_sparse if v_sparse is not None else v
+else:
+    attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
+    k_to_offload, v_to_offload = k, v
+```
+
+### 2. Decode Sparse Integration Point
+
+**Location:** `model_runner.py:636-637` and `model_runner.py:704-706`
+
+**Current (preload):**
+```python
+for i in range(num_preload):
+    offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(
+        i, i, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens_per_block
+    )
+```
+
+**After Integration:**
+```python
+for i in range(num_preload):
+    layer_to_load = i
+    if self.sparse_policy and self.sparse_policy.supports_offload_decode:
+        # Prepare q for this layer (need to compute ahead)
+        # OR: use previous layer's pattern as estimate
+        selected_blocks = self.sparse_policy.select_offload_blocks(
+            None,  # q not available yet at preload
+            layer_to_load,
+            cpu_block_table,
+            valid_tokens_per_block
+        )
+    else:
+        selected_blocks = cpu_block_table
+    offload_engine.load_sparse_layer_kv_to_buffer(
+        i, layer_to_load, selected_blocks, valid_tokens_per_block
+    )
+```
+
+**Challenge:** Q is not available during preload phase!
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Skip sparse preload, only sparse for non-preloaded layers
+2. Use previous decode step's pattern as estimate
+3. Add preload hook to sparse policy
+
+### 3. Offload Engine Extension
+
+**New Method in OffloadEngine:**
+
+```python
+def load_sparse_layer_kv_to_buffer(
+    self,
+    buffer_idx: int,
+    layer_id: int,
+    selected_cpu_block_ids: List[int],
+    original_valid_tokens: List[int],
+) -> int:
+    """
+    Load only selected blocks from CPU to buffer.
+
+    Returns:
+        Total tokens loaded (may be less than full sequence)
+    """
+    stream = self.layer_load_streams[buffer_idx]
+
+    with torch.cuda.stream(stream):
+        stream.wait_event(self.buffer_compute_done_events[buffer_idx])
+
+        # Build mapping: original block -> selected position
+        offset = 0
+        for i, cpu_block_id in enumerate(selected_cpu_block_ids):
+            # Find original index to get valid tokens
+            valid_tokens = original_valid_tokens[i]  # Need mapping
+
+            self.layer_k_cache[buffer_idx, offset:offset+valid_tokens].copy_(
+                self.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :valid_tokens],
+                non_blocking=True
+            )
+            # ... v_cache same
+
+            offset += valid_tokens
+
+        self.buffer_load_events[buffer_idx].record(stream)
+
+    return offset  # Caller needs to know actual loaded tokens
+```
+
+## Metadata Flow for Quest
+
+### During Prefill Offload
+
+**Current:** No metadata collection in offload path
+
+**Required:** Call `on_prefill_offload()` for each block
+
+```python
+# In run_layerwise_offload_prefill()
+for i, cpu_block_id in enumerate(cpu_block_ids):
+    start = i * block_size
+    end = min(start + block_size, total_tokens)
+    actual_size = end - start
+
+    # BEFORE offload: update Quest metadata
+    if self.sparse_policy and hasattr(self.sparse_policy, 'on_prefill_offload'):
+        self.sparse_policy.on_prefill_offload(
+            cpu_block_id, layer_id, k[start:end], actual_size
+        )
+
+    # Offload
+    offload_engine.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :actual_size].copy_(k[start:end])
+    offload_engine.v_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :actual_size].copy_(v[start:end])
+```
+
+### Quest Metadata Shape
+
+```python
+# BlockMetadataManager
+key_min: [num_blocks, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim]  # Min key per block per layer
+key_max: [num_blocks, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim]  # Max key per block per layer
+```
+
+**Memory:** 2 * num_blocks * num_layers * kv_heads * head_dim * 2 bytes
+- Example: 1000 blocks * 28 layers * 4 heads * 128 dim * 2 * 2 = ~57 MB
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### MInference Prefill Overhead
+
+| Operation | Time (64K seq) |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Pattern estimation (last-64) | ~5ms |
+| Triton sparse attention | ~80ms |
+| Full FlashAttention | ~100ms |
+| **Net Speedup** | ~15-20% |
+
+### Quest Decode Overhead
+
+| Operation | Time |
+|-----------|------|
+| Block scoring (GPU metadata) | ~0.1ms |
+| Top-K selection | ~0.05ms |
+| Sparse H2D load (8 blocks) | ~2ms |
+| Full H2D load (100 blocks) | ~20ms |
+| **Net Speedup** | ~10x H2D |
+
+### Memory Trade-offs
+
+| Mode | GPU Memory | CPU Memory | H2D Bandwidth |
+|------|------------|------------|---------------|
+| Full offload | Ring buffer | Full KV | High |
+| Sparse offload | Ring buffer | Full KV | Low (subset) |
+| Aggressive sparse | Ring buffer | Sparse KV | Very low |
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+### 1. Short Sequences (< sparse threshold)
+
+```python
+if total_tokens < sparse_threshold:
+    # Fall back to full attention
+    use_sparse = False
+```
+
+### 2. First Decode Step (no previous Q)
+
+Quest can't score blocks without Q. Options:
+- Use average embedding as proxy
+- Load all blocks for first step
+- Use prefill pattern as estimate
+
+### 3. Variable Sequence Lengths in Batch
+
+Layerwise offload currently only supports batch_size=1:
+```python
+assert len(seqs) == 1, "Layer-wise offload only supports single sequence"
+```
+
+Sparse integration should maintain this constraint.
+
+### 4. Ring Buffer vs Sparse Load Mismatch
+
+Ring buffer assumes fixed `total_prefill_tokens`:
+```python
+k_prefill, v_prefill = offload_engine.get_buffer_kv(buffer_idx, total_prefill_tokens)
+```
+
+Sparse load has variable token count. Need:
+```python
+# Track actual loaded tokens per buffer
+loaded_tokens[buffer_idx] = sparse_load_count
+k_prefill, v_prefill = offload_engine.get_buffer_kv(buffer_idx, loaded_tokens[buffer_idx])
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+1. `test_sparse_policy_interface.py` - Verify new interface methods
+2. `test_minference_offload.py` - MInference in offload mode
+3. `test_quest_offload.py` - Quest block selection in offload mode
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+1. `test_offload_sparse_e2e.py` - Full prefill+decode with sparsity
+2. `test_accuracy_comparison.py` - Compare outputs: full vs sparse
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+1. `bench_offload_sparse.py` - Compare:
+   - Full offload (baseline)
+   - MInference prefill + Quest decode
+   - Aggressive sparse offload

-# Estimate Block Size 性能分析
-
-本文档记录 XAttention estimate 阶段中 `block_size` 参数对 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 性能的影响。
-
-## 问题背景
-
-当前 `select_blocks` 中的 estimate 过程使用全局的 `kvcache_block_size`（通常为 4096）：
-
-```python
-# xattn_bsa.py: select_blocks()
-block_size = ctx.block_size  # 来自 kvcache_manager.block_size (4096)
-reshaped_block_size = block_size // self.stride  # 4096/8 = 512
-
-block_sums = softmax_fuse_block_sum(
-    attn_scores,
-    reshaped_block_size,  # 512 - 性能最差点！
-    ...
-)
-```
-
-这导致 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 使用 `reshaped_block_size=512`，而这正是性能曲线的最差点。
-

-
-### Triton Kernel 内部分析
-
-`softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel` 中的关键约束：
-
-```python
-# 每个 thread block 处理的数据
-offs_q = tl.arange(0, block_size)  # block_size 个元素
-m_i = tl.zeros([block_size], dtype=tl.float32)  # 寄存器分配
-
-# reshape 操作
-X = tl.reshape(X, (block_size, segment_size // block_size, block_size))
-# 当 block_size=512, segment_size=512 时 → (512, 1, 512) 的 3D tensor
-```
-
-当 `block_size` 过大时：
-- 每个 thread block 需要更多寄存器
-- `tl.arange(0, block_size)` 生成更大的向量
-- reshape 操作的内存访问模式变差
-
-## 优化建议
-
-### 方案 1: 固定 estimate block_size
-
-在 `select_blocks` 中使用固定的小 block_size 进行估计：
-
-```python
-# 建议修改
-ESTIMATE_BLOCK_SIZE = 1024  # 或 512，而非 ctx.block_size
-
-reshaped_block_size = ESTIMATE_BLOCK_SIZE // self.stride  # 128
-```
-
-**优点**：简单直接，预期提升 15x
-**缺点**：estimate 的 block 粒度与 CPU block 不一致，需要映射
-
-### 方案 2: 两级 block 结构
-
-- 外层使用 `kvcache_block_size` (4096) 管理 CPU blocks
-- 内层使用 `estimate_block_size` (1024) 进行估计
-- 估计结果聚合回 CPU block 粒度
-
-### 方案 3: 自适应 block_size
-
-根据 context length 动态选择 estimate block_size：
-
-| Context Length | Recommended block_size |
-|----------------|------------------------|
-| < 16K | 512 |
-| 16K - 64K | 1024 |
-| > 64K | 1024 |
-
-## 与实际 Profiling 的对比

-| flash_fwd_kernel | 30.7% | 实际 attention 计算 |
-| flat_group_gemm | 3.5% | estimate GEMM |

-| softmax kernel | 12.07 ms | 0.29 ms | **41x** |
-| 端到端 estimate | 95 ms | ~6 ms | **15x** |
-
-## ⚠️ 选择策略变更
-
-**重要**: 分级求和方案使用新的选择策略：
-
-| 特性 | 原策略 (mask + voting) | 新策略 (score + threshold) |
-|------|------------------------|----------------------------|
-| 输入 | `[batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]` | `[batch, heads, num_cpu_blocks]` |
-| 选择粒度 | Per-q-block | Per-chunk |
-| 聚合方式 | majority voting | threshold on scores |
-
-新策略更简洁，直接利用分级求和产生的 score，避免了 mask 生成和 voting 的复杂逻辑。
-
-## 实现状态 ✅ (2026-01-28)
-
-### 已实现
-
-分级求和方案已在 `xattn_bsa.py` 中实现：
-
-```python
-class XAttentionBSAPolicy:
-    def __init__(self, ..., estimate_block_size: int = 1024):
-        self.estimate_block_size = estimate_block_size  # 新参数
-
-    def select_blocks(self, ...):
-        # Step 2: Hierarchical softmax_fuse_block_sum
-        reshaped_est_bs = estimate_bs // self.stride  # 1024/8 = 128
-        block_sums_fine = softmax_fuse_block_sum(attn_scores, reshaped_est_bs, ...)
-
-        # Step 3: Aggregate to CPU block level
-        block_sums_coarse = block_sums_fine.view(..., num_cpu_blocks, ratio).sum(dim=-1)
-        cpu_block_scores = block_sums_coarse.sum(dim=2)
-
-        # Step 4: Score + threshold selection (replaces mask + voting)
-        scores_per_block = cpu_block_scores.mean(dim=(0, 1))
-        # ... cumulative threshold selection
-```
-
-### 实测结果 (Nsys Profiling)
-
-| Kernel | 优化前 | 优化后 | 改进 |
-|--------|--------|--------|------|
-| softmax_fuse_block_sum 占比 | 48.1% | **1.1%** | **44x** |
-| softmax_fuse_block_sum 平均时间 | ~2ms | 489us | **4x** |
-
-### 端到端性能 (32K context)
-
-| 指标 | FULL Policy | XATTN Policy | 改进 |
-|------|-------------|--------------|------|
-| Prefill throughput | 3511 tok/s | 3695 tok/s | +5% |
-| TTFT | 9327 ms | 8863 ms | -5% |
-
-## 结论
-
-当前 estimate 阶段使用全局 `kvcache_block_size=4096` 导致 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 性能处于最差点。通过将 estimate block_size 改为 512-1024，可以获得 **15x** 的性能提升，显著降低 estimate 阶段的开销。
-
-**⚠️ 重要变更**: 选择策略从 `mask + majority voting` 改为 `score + threshold`，更简洁且更直接。

+# GPU-only Performance Issue: PagedAttention Scatter Overhead
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+GPU-only mode with MInference is **slower** than CPU offload mode for long-context single-sequence inference:
+
+| Mode | Prefill Speed (32K tokens, Qwen3-4B) |
+|------|--------------------------------------|
+| GPU-only + MInference | 3383 tok/s |
+| Offload + MInference | 5373 tok/s |
+
+This counterintuitive result is caused by **unnecessary `store_kvcache` overhead** in the GPU-only path.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### GPU-only Execution Path
+
+```python
+# attention.py line 86-110
+def forward(self, q, k, v):
+    # ALWAYS store to cache first - OVERHEAD HERE
+    if k_cache.numel() and v_cache.numel():
+        store_kvcache(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, context.slot_mapping)  # ← Always executed
+
+    if context.is_prefill:
+        if context.sparse_prefill_policy is not None:
+            # MInference: uses k, v directly, NOT k_cache!
+            o = sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id)
+        else:
+            # Full attention: also uses k, v directly
+            o = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
+```
+
+**Key observation**: Prefill attention **never reads from cache** - it uses the computed k, v directly. But `store_kvcache` is always called before attention.
+
+### The `store_kvcache` Overhead
+
+```python
+# attention.py line 8-59
+def store_kvcache(key, value, k_cache, v_cache, slot_mapping):
+    # 1. Filter invalid slots (conditional logic)
+    valid_mask = slot_mapping >= 0
+    valid_slots = slot_mapping[valid_mask]
+    valid_keys = key[valid_mask]
+
+    # 2. Reshape for scatter operation
+    k_cache_flat = k_cache.view(total_slots, D)
+    valid_keys_flat = valid_keys.reshape(-1, D)
+
+    # 3. Scatter write via index_copy_ - EXPENSIVE!
+    k_cache_flat.index_copy_(0, valid_slots.long(), valid_keys_flat)
+    v_cache_flat.index_copy_(0, valid_slots.long(), valid_values_flat)
+```
+
+This scatter operation is called for **every layer** (28 layers for Qwen3-4B), writing **all tokens** (32K) to GPU cache.
+
+### Offload Path (No Such Overhead)
+
+```python
+# model_runner.py - run_layerwise_offload_prefill
+for layer_id in range(num_layers):
+    # QKV projection + RoPE
+    q, k = layer.self_attn.rotary_emb(positions, q, k)
+
+    # Sparse attention - directly uses k, v
+    attn_output = sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id)
+
+    # Contiguous copy to CPU - no scatter!
+    offload_engine.offload_layer_kv_sync(layer_id, k, v, cpu_block_ids, total_tokens)
+```
+
+## Memory Layout Comparison
+
+| Aspect | GPU-only (PagedAttention) | Offload (Contiguous) |
+|--------|---------------------------|----------------------|
+| **Layout** | `[num_blocks, block_size, heads, dim]` | `[seq_len, heads, dim]` |
+| **Write pattern** | Scatter via `index_copy_` | Contiguous `copy_()` |
+| **Indirection** | slot_mapping lookup | None |
+| **Memory efficiency** | High (shared block pool) | Low (reserved per seq) |
+| **Write performance** | Slow (memory-bound scatter) | Fast (simple DMA) |
+
+### Why PagedAttention Uses Scatter
+
+PagedAttention is designed for:
+1. **Multi-sequence batching**: Different sequences share a block pool
+2. **Dynamic memory management**: No need to reserve max_len per sequence
+3. **Prefix caching**: Shared KV blocks across sequences
+
+But for **single-sequence long-context** inference, these benefits don't apply, and we only pay the scatter overhead.
+
+## Why `store_kvcache` is Still Needed
+
+Even though prefill attention doesn't read from cache, **decode** does:
+
+```python
+# attention.py line 111-114
+else:  # decode
+    # Reads from cache!
+    o = flash_attn_with_kvcache(q, k_cache, v_cache, block_table=...)
+```
+
+So `store_kvcache` during prefill is preparing KV cache for future decode steps.
+
+## Potential Optimizations
+
+### Option 1: Async Store After Attention (Low Effort)
+
+Move `store_kvcache` after attention computation and make it async:
+
+```python
+def forward(self, q, k, v):
+    if context.is_prefill:
+        # Compute attention first
+        if context.sparse_prefill_policy is not None:
+            o = sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id)
+        else:
+            o = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
+
+        # Then store async (overlaps with next layer's QKV)
+        if k_cache.numel():
+            store_kvcache_async(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, slot_mapping)
+    ...
+```
+
+**Expected benefit**: Overlap store with compute, ~20-30% improvement.
+
+### Option 2: Contiguous Layout for Single-Sequence Mode (Medium Effort)
+
+Add a "contiguous mode" for single-sequence long-context:
+
+```python
+class ContiguousKVCache:
+    """Simple contiguous KV cache for single-sequence mode."""
+    def __init__(self, num_layers, max_seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim, dtype):
+        self.k_cache = torch.zeros(num_layers, max_seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim, dtype=dtype)
+        self.v_cache = torch.zeros(num_layers, max_seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim, dtype=dtype)
+
+    def store(self, layer_id, k, v, start_pos):
+        # Simple contiguous write - no scatter!
+        seq_len = k.shape[0]
+        self.k_cache[layer_id, start_pos:start_pos+seq_len] = k
+        self.v_cache[layer_id, start_pos:start_pos+seq_len] = v
+```
+
+**Expected benefit**: Match or exceed offload performance (~60% improvement).
+
+### Option 3: Fused Store-Attention Kernel (High Effort)
+
+Create a fused Triton kernel that:
+1. Computes QKV projection
+2. Stores K, V to cache
+3. Computes attention
+
+This eliminates memory roundtrips entirely.
+
+**Expected benefit**: Best possible performance, but high implementation complexity.
+
+## Recommended Action
+
+For **single-sequence long-context** workloads (the primary use case for MInference):
+
+1. **Short term**: Use offload mode - it's actually faster!
+2. **Medium term**: Implement Option 1 (async store) for quick win
+3. **Long term**: Consider Option 2 (contiguous layout) for GPU-only mode
+
+## Performance Measurement
+
+To reproduce the benchmark:
+
+```bash
+# GPU-only + MInference
+PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py \
+    --model ~/models/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507/ \

-
-## 内存预分配
-
-### 问题背景
-
-XAttention 的 `compute_prefill()` 需要 GQA 扩展：
-
-```python
-# 之前: 动态分配 (~2GB for 64K)
-K_exp = K.repeat_interleave(num_groups, dim=1)  # 分配 1
-k_bsa = k.repeat_interleave(num_groups, dim=1)  # 分配 2 (重复!)
-```
-
-每次 prefill 都动态分配，导致：
-- 内存碎片
-- 分配延迟
-- 可能 OOM
-
-### 解决方案: alloc_policy_metadata()
-
-在框架初始化时预分配 buffer：
-
-```python
-class XAttentionBSAPolicy(SparsePolicy):
-    def alloc_policy_metadata(self, num_heads, num_kv_heads, head_dim,
-                               max_seq_len, dtype, device):
-        # 预分配 GQA 扩展 buffer
-        shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
-        self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
-        self._v_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
-
-    def compute_prefill(self, q, k, v, ...):
-        seq_len = k.shape[0]
-        # 使用预分配 buffer 的 slice
-        K_exp = self._k_expanded[:, :, :seq_len, :]
-        # 原地 GQA 扩展
-        K_exp.view(...).copy_(K.unsqueeze(2).expand(...))
-        # 复用同一 buffer 给 BSA
-        k_bsa = K_exp.squeeze(0).transpose(0, 1)
-```
-
-### 内存使用
-
-| 序列长度 | 预分配大小 | 说明 |
-|---------|-----------|------|
-| 32K | 512 MB | `2 * 32 * 32768 * 128 * 2 bytes` |
-| 64K | 1024 MB | `2 * 32 * 65536 * 128 * 2 bytes` |
-
-优化效果：
-- 之前: ~2GB 动态分配 (xattn_estimate + BSA 各一次)
-- 之后: ~1GB 预分配 (复用同一 buffer)
-
-### 框架集成
-
-```python
-# model_runner.py - allocate_kv_cache()
-def allocate_kv_cache(self):
-    # ... KV cache 分配 ...
-
-    # GPU-only 模式: 预分配 policy buffers
-    if not config.enable_cpu_offload:
-        self.kvcache_manager.sparse_policy.alloc_policy_metadata(
-            num_heads=num_heads,
-            num_kv_heads=num_kv_heads,
-            head_dim=head_dim,
-            max_seq_len=config.max_model_len,
-            dtype=dtype,
-            device=torch.device("cuda"),

-
-## CUDA Graph 限制
-
-### 为什么 Prefill 不能用 CUDA Graph
-
-CUDA Graph 要求所有操作在 capture 时确定：
-
-| 必须固定 | Prefill 的情况 |
-|---------|---------------|
-| Tensor 形状 | seq_len 可变 (1 ~ max_model_len) |
-| Kernel grid | 依赖 seq_len |
-| 内存地址 | 中间 tensor 大小变化 |
-
-```python
-# 不同请求的 seq_len 不同
-request_1: prefill(seq_len=1024)   # grid=(8, 32, 1)
-request_2: prefill(seq_len=32768)  # grid=(256, 32, 1)
-```
-
-### Decode 可以用 CUDA Graph
-
-```python
-# Decode 每次只处理 1 token
-q: [batch_size, 1, heads, dim]  # 形状固定
-```
-
-nanovllm 为每个 batch_size 预先 capture 一个 graph：
-
-```python
-def capture_cudagraph(self):
-    for batch_size in [1, 2, 4, 8, ...]:
-        with torch.cuda.graph(g):
-            self.run_model(dummy_input, is_prefill=False)
-        self.graphs[batch_size] = g
-```
-
-### Nsys Profile 结果
-
-```
-XAttention 32K Prefill:
-  Total kernels: 41,904
-  Non-graph: 41,904 (100%)
-  Graph: 0
-
-Full 32K Prefill:
-  Total kernels: 35,308
-  Non-graph: 35,308 (100%)
-  Graph: 0
-```
-
-**两者都是 100% NON-GRAPH**，这是 prefill 的本质特性。
-
-## Profiling 工具
-
-### 使用 profile.sh
-
-```bash
-# XAttention 32K
-bash scripts/profile.sh --max-len 32768 --policy xattn
-
-# Full 32K
-bash scripts/profile.sh --max-len 32768 --policy full
-
-# 64K (需要降低 gpu-util)
-bash scripts/profile.sh --max-len 65536 --policy xattn --gpu-util 0.7
-```
-
-### 分析 nsys 结果
-
-```bash
-# 查看 kernel 统计
-nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/<file>.nsys-rep
-
-# 用 sqlite 查询详细数据
-sqlite3 results/nsys/<file>.sqlite "
-SELECT
-    (SELECT value FROM StringIds WHERE id = shortName) as kernel,
-    COUNT(*) as count,
-    SUM(end-start)/1e6 as total_ms
-FROM CUPTI_ACTIVITY_KIND_KERNEL
-GROUP BY shortName
-ORDER BY total_ms DESC
-LIMIT 10
-"
-```
-
-## 使用指南
-
-### 启用 XAttention GPU-only
-
-```python
-from nanovllm import LLM
-from nanovllm.config import SparsePolicyType
-
-llm = LLM(
-    model_path,
-    max_model_len=32768,
-    sparse_policy=SparsePolicyType.XATTN_BSA,
-    gpu_memory_utilization=0.9,  # 64K 时可能需要降低
-)
-```
-
-### 命令行测试
-
-```bash
-# bench.py
-python bench.py --max-len 32768 --policy xattn
-
-# 64K 需要降低 gpu-util
-python bench.py --max-len 65536 --policy xattn --gpu-util 0.7
-```
-
-### 最佳实践
-
-1. **32K 及以下**: 使用默认 `gpu_memory_utilization=0.9`
-2. **64K**: 降低到 `gpu_memory_utilization=0.7`
-3. **Decode**: XAttention 自动 fallback 到 FullAttentionPolicy
-4. **Paged KV Cache**: 当 `block_tables` 存在时自动 fallback 到 flash_attn

-Q chunk 0:  merged 16 KV chunks → attn_sum shape=[1, 32, 32, 512]
-Q chunk 1:  merged 16 KV chunks → attn_sum shape=[1, 32, 32, 512]
-...
-Q chunk 15: merged 16 KV chunks → attn_sum shape=[1, 32, 32, 512]

-
-每个 Q chunk 需要合并 16 个 KV chunks 的 softmax stats，充分验证了 `merge_softmax_stats` 在大规模 chunk 合并场景下的正确性。

-## Density 计算公式
-
-### Total (分母)
-
-```python
-# Causal mask: Q block i 只能看到 K block 0 到 i
-causal_mask[i, j] = (j <= i + q_offset_blocks)
-
-# Total = causal 区域内的 block 数 × batch × heads
-total = causal_mask.sum() × batch × heads
-      = (n × (n+1) / 2) × 1 × 32  # n = valid_q_blocks
-```
-
-### Selected (分子)
-
-```python
-# 在 causal 区域内，被选中 (mask=True) 的 block 数量
-selected = (mask & causal_mask).sum()
-```
-
-### Density
-
-```python
-density = selected / total
-```
-
-## 观察
-
-1. **Density 随 context 增长而降低**: 4k (63.8%) → 64k (37.0%)，这是因为长序列中 attention 更加分散
-
-2. **Layer 5 通常是最稀疏的层**: 在所有长度测试中，Layer 5 的 density 最低
-
-3. **Layer 0 density 最高**: 第一层的 attention pattern 最密集，可能与 sink token 效应有关
-
-4. **Threshold=0.9 对应 ~50% density**: 在 32k context 下，threshold=0.9 意味着选择覆盖 90% attention 的 blocks，实际 density 约 50%

-# Issue: XAttention Offload Mode GQA Buffer OOM
-
-## 问题描述
-
-在使用 XAttention BSA (Block Sparse Attention) + CPU Offload 模式运行 GLM-4-9B 等大模型时，出现 CUDA OOM 错误。
-
-### 错误信息
-
-```
-torch.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 8.00 GiB.
-GPU 0 has a total capacity of 23.57 GiB of which 4.19 GiB is free.
-```

-### 复现环境

-| GPU | RTX 3090 (24GB) |
-| Context Length | 32K |
-| sparse_policy | XATTN_BSA |
-| enable_cpu_offload | true |
-| max_model_len | 1048576 (1M) |
-
-### 错误位置
-
-```
-File "nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py", line 246, in alloc_policy_metadata
-    self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
-```
-
----
-
-## 问题分析
-
-### 内存分配分析
-
-`alloc_policy_metadata()` 在 KV cache 初始化时分配以下 buffer：
-
-| Buffer | 用途 | 大小 (GLM-4, 1M seq) |
-|--------|------|----------------------|
-| `_prefill_mask_buffer` | BSA mask | ~32 MB |
-| `_m_partial_buffer` | KV chunking m stats | ~32 MB |
-| `_l_partial_buffer` | KV chunking l stats | ~32 MB |
-| `_block_sums_buffer` | Block sums | ~64 MB |
-| **`_k_expanded`** | GQA K 扩展 | **~8 GB** |
-| **`_v_expanded`** | GQA V 扩展 | **~8 GB** |
-
-### GQA Buffer 计算
-
-```python
-shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
-     = (1, 32, 1048576, 128)
-
-size = 1 × 32 × 1048576 × 128 × 2 bytes (fp16)
-     = 8,589,934,592 bytes
-     = 8 GB per buffer
-```
-
-### 根本原因
-
-1. **设计意图冲突**：`_k_expanded` 和 `_v_expanded` 的文档注释明确说是 "for GPU-only mode"
-2. **条件检查不完整**：代码只检查了 `num_heads == num_kv_heads` 来跳过分配，没有检查 offload 模式
-3. **Offload 模式不需要这些 buffer**：`compute_chunked_prefill()` 使用不同的计算路径，不依赖预分配的 GQA buffer
-
-### 相关代码
-
-```python
-# xattn_bsa.py:238-247
-# Only allocate GQA expansion buffers if GQA (num_heads != num_kv_heads)
-if num_heads == num_kv_heads:
-    logger.info(f"[XAttn] No GQA expansion needed (num_heads == num_kv_heads = {num_heads})")
-    return  # <-- 只检查了 GQA，没检查 offload 模式
-
-# Shape: [1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim] for xattn_estimate format
-shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
-self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)  # <-- OOM here
-self._v_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
-```
-
----
-
-## 解决思路
-
-### 方案 1: 在 Offload 模式下跳过 GQA Buffer 分配 (推荐)
-
-在 `alloc_policy_metadata()` 中添加 offload 模式检查：
-
-```python
-def alloc_policy_metadata(
-    self,
-    num_heads: int,
-    num_kv_heads: int,
-    head_dim: int,
-    max_seq_len: int,
-    dtype: torch.dtype,
-    device: torch.device,
-    enable_cpu_offload: bool = False,  # <-- 新增参数
-) -> None:
-    # ... 分配 mask buffer 和 KV chunking buffers (offload 模式需要)
-
-    # Skip GQA buffers in offload mode
-    # Chunked prefill uses compute_chunked_prefill() which doesn't need these
-    if enable_cpu_offload:
-        logger.info("[XAttn] Offload mode: skipping GQA expansion buffers")
-        return
-
-    # GPU-only mode: pre-allocate GQA buffers for compute_prefill()
-    if num_heads == num_kv_heads:
-        logger.info(f"[XAttn] No GQA expansion needed")
-        return
-
-    shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
-    self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
-    self._v_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
-```
-
-**需要修改的文件**：
-1. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py` - `alloc_policy_metadata()` 方法
-2. `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` - 调用 `alloc_policy_metadata()` 时传入 `enable_cpu_offload`
-
-### 方案 2: 延迟分配 (Lazy Allocation)
-
-只在 `compute_prefill()` 首次调用时分配 GQA buffer，offload 模式走 `compute_chunked_prefill()` 不会触发分配。
-
-```python
-def compute_prefill(self, ...):
-    # Lazy allocation on first use
-    if self._k_expanded is None and num_heads != num_kv_heads:
-        self._allocate_gqa_buffers(...)
-    ...
-```
-
-### 方案 3: 基于 chunk_size 限制 buffer 大小
-
-不预分配 max_seq_len 大小，而是只分配 chunk_size 大小：
-
-```python
-# 原来: max_seq_len (1M tokens) -> 8 GB
-# 修改后: chunk_size (16K tokens) -> ~130 MB
-buffer_len = self.chunk_size if enable_cpu_offload else max_seq_len
-shape = (1, num_heads, buffer_len, head_dim)
-```
-

-
-## 验证方法
-
-修复后运行以下命令验证：
-
-```bash
-cd /home/zijie/Code/COMPASS
-GPULIST=0 ./scripts/run_ruler.sh glm4-9b-xattn-nanovllm synthetic xattn --task niah_single_1
-```
-
-预期结果：
-- 不再出现 8GB allocation 的 OOM 错误
-- 模型正常加载并完成推理

-## 修复状态
-
-**✅ 已修复** (2026-02-05)
-
-### 修复内容
-
-采用方案 1，在 offload 模式下跳过 GQA buffer 分配：

-1. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py`: 基类添加 `enable_cpu_offload` 参数
-2. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py`: 实现 offload 模式检查，跳过 GQA buffer
-3. `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py`: 传入 `enable_cpu_offload` 参数

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

+
+## 4. Memory Comparison Table
+
+For Qwen3-4B with 128k context:
+
+| Category | Memory | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| **Pre-allocated GPU** | ~2.2 GB | Ring buffer + decode buffer |
+| **Pre-allocated CPU** | ~18.4 GB | Pinned memory |
+| **Model Weights** | ~8 GB | |
+| **Prefill Peak Temp** | ~10-12 GB | MLP gate_up dominant |
+| **Decode Peak Temp** | ~512 MB | k_full + v_full |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Optimization Opportunities
+
+### 5.1 Decode: Pre-allocate k_full/v_full
+
+**Current** (L689-693):
+```python
+k_full = torch.cat([k_prefill, k_decode_prev, k_new], dim=0)  # New allocation each layer
+v_full = torch.cat([v_prefill, v_decode_prev, v_new], dim=0)  # New allocation each layer
+```
+
+**Optimized**:
+```python
+# Pre-allocate in OffloadEngine.__init__():
+self.k_full_buffer = torch.zeros(max_seq_len + block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim, ...)
+self.v_full_buffer = torch.zeros(max_seq_len + block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim, ...)
+
+# In decode loop:
+total_len = prefill_len + num_decode_tokens
+k_full = self.k_full_buffer[:total_len]
+k_full[:prefill_len].copy_(k_prefill)
+k_full[prefill_len:prefill_len+num_decode_prev].copy_(k_decode_prev)
+k_full[-1:].copy_(k_new)
+```
+
+**Savings**: ~512 MB per decode step (for 128k)
+
+### 5.2 Decode: Reuse cu_seqlens_k
+
+**Current** (L710):
+```python
+cu_seqlens_k = torch.tensor([0, total_kv_tokens], dtype=torch.int32, device="cuda")
+```
+
+**Optimized**:
+```python
+# Pre-allocate once:
+self.cu_seqlens_k = torch.zeros(2, dtype=torch.int32, device="cuda")
+
+# In decode loop:
+self.cu_seqlens_k[1] = total_kv_tokens
+```
+
+**Savings**: Negligible memory, but reduces allocation overhead.
+
+### 5.3 RoPE: In-place or Pre-allocated Buffers
+
+The RoPE implementation creates multiple float32 intermediate tensors. Options:
+1. Pre-allocate buffers for Q and K rotary outputs
+2. Use in-place operations where possible
+3. Use fused RoPE kernel (e.g., from FlashAttention)
+
+**Potential savings**: ~1.5 GB during prefill per layer
+
+### 5.4 MLP: Cannot Optimize Easily
+
+The MLP `gate_up` tensor is inherently required for the gated activation:
+```python
+gate_up = gate_up_proj(x)  # [seq_len, 2 × intermediate_size]
+x, y = gate_up.chunk(2, -1)
+output = silu(x) * y
+```
+
+This is a fundamental computation pattern. Potential optimizations:
+- Chunked MLP computation (process seq_len in chunks)
+- Fused kernels that avoid materializing full gate_up

+## 8. Empirical Validation
+
+This section validates the theoretical memory analysis against actual measurements.
+
+### 8.1 Test Configuration
+
+```bash
+python tests/test_needle.py --enable-offload --input-len 100000 --block-size 1024
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- Model: Qwen3-4B-Instruct
+- `seq_len = 100000` (actual tokens: 99925)
+- `block_size = 1024`
+- `max_model_len = 131072`
+- `num_kv_buffers = 4`
+
+### 8.2 Theoretical Peak Memory Calculation
+
+#### Step 1: Model Load Memory
+
+| Component | Formula | Size |
+|-----------|---------|------|
+| Model weights | ~4B params × 2 bytes | ~8 GB |
+| Ring buffer | 2 × 4 × 131072 × 1024 × 2 | 2048 MB |
+| Decode buffer | 2 × 36 × 1024 × 1024 × 2 | 144 MB |
+| **Subtotal** | | **~10.2 GB** |
+
+#### Step 2: Prefill Activation Peak (per-layer)
+
+| Component | Formula | Size |
+|-----------|---------|------|
+| hidden_states | 100000 × 2560 × 2 | 512 MB |
+| residual | 100000 × 2560 × 2 | 512 MB |
+| MLP gate_up | 100000 × 27392 × 2 | **5478 MB** |
+| MLP silu×gate | 100000 × 13696 × 2 | 2739 MB |
+| Other intermediates (qkv, RoPE, attn) | ~1-2 GB | ~1500 MB |
+| **Subtotal** | | **~10 GB** |
+
+#### Step 3: Total Peak
+
+```
+Total Peak = Model Load + Activation Peak
+           = 10.2 GB + 10 GB
+           = ~20.2 GB
+```
+
+### 8.3 Actual Measurement Results
+
+```python
+import torch
+torch.cuda.reset_peak_memory_stats()
+# ... run inference ...
+peak = torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated()
+```
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| After model load | 9.82 GB |
+| Peak during inference | **20.02 GB** |
+| Activation peak (delta) | 10.20 GB |
+
+### 8.4 Comparison: Theory vs Actual
+
+| Component | Theoretical | Actual | Error |
+|-----------|-------------|--------|-------|
+| Model load memory | ~10.2 GB | 9.82 GB | -3.7% |
+| Activation peak | ~10 GB | 10.20 GB | +2.0% |
+| **Total peak** | **~20.2 GB** | **20.02 GB** | **< 1%** |
+
+### 8.5 Key Findings
+
+1. **Theoretical model is accurate**: < 5% error in all components.
+
+2. **MLP gate_up is the dominant temporary**:
+   - Size: 5.35 GB (for 100k tokens)
+   - Accounts for ~50% of activation peak
+   - Formula: `seq_len × 2 × intermediate_size × dtype_size`
+
+3. **Memory scaling with sequence length**:
+   | seq_len | Model Load | Activation Peak | Total Peak |
+   |---------|------------|-----------------|------------|
+   | 8k | ~10 GB | ~0.8 GB | ~11 GB |
+   | 32k | ~10 GB | ~3.2 GB | ~13 GB |
+   | 64k | ~10 GB | ~6.4 GB | ~16 GB |
+   | 100k | ~10 GB | ~10 GB | ~20 GB |
+   | 128k | ~10 GB | ~13 GB | ~23 GB |
+
+4. **Decode memory is much smaller**:
+   - Per-step: ~512 MB for k_full + v_full (at 100k context)
+   - Does not grow with decode steps (constant per layer)
+

-GPU-CPU 通信量测试结果，对比 Full Policy 和 XAttention BSA Policy。
-
-## 测试环境
-
-- **模型**: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
-- **GPU**: RTX 3090 (24GB)
-- **配置**: `num_gpu_blocks=4`, `block_size=1024`, `enable_cpu_offload=True`
-- **XAttention 参数**: `threshold=0.95`, `stride=8`
-
-## 32K 上下文测试结果
-
-| 指标 | Full Policy | XAttention | 比率 |
-|------|-------------|------------|------|
-| **Prefill H2D** | 66.57 GB | 111.12 GB | **1.67x** |
-| Prefill D2H | 4.29 GB | 4.29 GB | 1.00x |
-| TTFT | 8473 ms | 10367 ms | 1.22x |
-
-### XAttention Block Selection (32K)
-
-| 指标 | 数值 |

-| 选中 blocks | 374 |
-| 选择密度 | 80.4% |
-
-## 64K 上下文测试结果
-
-| 指标 | Full Policy | XAttention | 比率 |
-|------|-------------|------------|------|
-| **Prefill H2D** | 262.13 GB | 386.62 GB | **1.48x** |
-| Prefill D2H | 8.46 GB | 8.46 GB | 1.00x |
-| Decode H2D (32 tokens) | 262.13 GB | 262.13 GB | 1.00x |

-
-## 通信量比率对比 (K-only 优化前)
-
-| 上下文长度 | XAttn/Full Prefill H2D 比率 |
-|------------|----------------------------|
-| 32K | 1.67x |
-| 64K | 1.48x |
-
-### 分析 (优化前)
-
-1. **XAttention 通信量增加原因**：
-   - Estimate 阶段：加载 **100%** 历史 blocks 的 **K+V**（用于 attention score 估计）
-   - Compute 阶段：加载 **选中的** blocks（约 70-80%）
-   - 理论比率：`1 + selection_density`
-
-2. **64K 比率更低的原因**：
-   - 更长上下文时，attention 分布更稀疏
-   - XAttention 的 block 选择更有效（选中比例更低）
-   - First/last block 强制包含的影响相对减小
-
-3. **Decode 阶段通信量相同**：
-   - XAttention 仅支持 prefill 阶段
-   - Decode 阶段 fallback 到 Full Policy
-
----
-
-## K-only 优化 (2026-01-28)
-
-### 优化原理
-
-XAttention 的 `select_blocks` 估计阶段只需要 K 来计算 attention scores：
-```python
-# flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape 只使用 Q 和 K
-attn_scores = flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(Q, K_chunk, stride, ...)
-```
-
-V 在估计阶段完全不使用，但之前代码会同时加载 K 和 V，造成 50% 通信量浪费。
-
-### 优化实现
-
-1. **新增方法**: `OffloadEngine.load_k_only_to_slot_layer()` - 只加载 K
-2. **修改 select_blocks**: 使用只加载 K 的新方法
-
-### 优化后测试结果
-
-| 上下文 | Full Policy | XAttn (优化前) | XAttn (优化后) | 优化节省 |
-|--------|-------------|---------------|---------------|---------|
-| 32K | 66.57 GB | 111.12 GB | **79.76 GB** | **28.2%** |
-| 64K | 262.13 GB | 386.62 GB | **258.78 GB** | **33.1%** |
-
-### XAttn/Full 比率变化
-
-| 上下文 | 优化前比率 | 优化后比率 |
-|--------|-----------|-----------|
-| 32K | 1.67x | **1.20x** |
-| 64K | 1.48x | **0.99x** |
-
-### 结论
-
-优化后，64K 上下文的 XAttention 通信量与 Full Policy 基本持平 (0.99x)，
-而 32K 也从 1.67x 降到 1.20x。这说明估计阶段的 K-only 优化非常有效

+# Multi-Model Support
+
+本文档描述 nanovllm 的多模型支持架构，以及如何添加新模型。
+
+## 概述
+
+nanovllm 通过模型注册表 (Model Registry) 机制支持多种模型架构。系统根据 HuggingFace config 中的 `architectures` 字段自动选择对应的模型实现。
+
+### 当前支持的模型
+
+| 架构 | 模型示例 | 文件 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| `Qwen3ForCausalLM` | Qwen3-0.6B, Qwen3-4B | `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` |
+| `Qwen2ForCausalLM` | Qwen2.5-7B | `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` |
+| `LlamaForCausalLM` | Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct | `nanovllm/models/llama.py` |
+
+## 架构设计
+
+### 模型注册表
+
+```
+nanovllm/models/
+├── __init__.py      # 导出 get_model_class, 导入所有模型
+├── registry.py      # 注册表核心: MODEL_REGISTRY, @register_model
+├── qwen3.py         # Qwen3/Qwen2 实现
+└── llama.py         # Llama 实现
+```
+
+### 动态模型加载流程
+
+```
+LLM(model_path)
+  → Config.__post_init__()
+    → hf_config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_path)
+  → ModelRunner.__init__()
+    → model_class = get_model_class(hf_config)  # 根据 architectures 选择
+    → model = model_class(hf_config)
+    → load_model(model, model_path)
+```
+
+## 添加新模型
+
+### 步骤 1: 创建模型文件
+
+在 `nanovllm/models/` 下创建新文件，例如 `mistral.py`:
+
+```python
+import torch
+from torch import nn
+import torch.distributed as dist
+
+from nanovllm.layers.activation import SiluAndMul
+from nanovllm.layers.attention import Attention
+from nanovllm.layers.layernorm import RMSNorm
+from nanovllm.layers.linear import QKVParallelLinear, MergedColumnParallelLinear, RowParallelLinear
+from nanovllm.layers.rotary_embedding import get_rope
+from nanovllm.layers.embed_head import VocabParallelEmbedding, ParallelLMHead
+from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model
+
+
+class MistralAttention(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, ...):
+        # 实现注意力层
+        pass
+
+class MistralMLP(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, ...):
+        # 实现 MLP 层
+        pass
+
+class MistralDecoderLayer(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, config):
+        # 组合 Attention + MLP
+        pass
+
+class MistralModel(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, config):
+        # Embedding + Layers + Norm
+        pass
+
+@register_model("MistralForCausalLM")
+class MistralForCausalLM(nn.Module):
+    # 权重映射 (HF 权重名 -> nanovllm 权重名)
+    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),
+    }
+
+    def __init__(self, config):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.model = MistralModel(config)
+        self.lm_head = ParallelLMHead(config.vocab_size, config.hidden_size)
+
+    def forward(self, input_ids, positions):
+        return self.model(input_ids, positions)
+
+    def compute_logits(self, hidden_states):
+        return self.lm_head(hidden_states)
+```
+
+### 步骤 2: 注册模型
+
+在 `nanovllm/models/__init__.py` 中导入新模型:
+
+```python
+from nanovllm.models import mistral  # 添加这行
+```
+
+### 步骤 3: 处理特殊配置
+
+如果模型有特殊的 RoPE scaling 或其他配置，需要在相应的 layer 中添加支持。
+
+## 模型架构差异
+
+### Qwen3 vs Llama
+
+| 特性 | Qwen3 | Llama |
+|------|-------|-------|
+| QKV Bias | 可配置 (`attention_bias`) | 无 |
+| Q/K Norm | 有 (RMSNorm, 当 bias=False) | 无 |
+| MLP Bias | 无 | 无 |
+| RoPE Scaling | 无 | llama3 类型 |
+| RoPE Theta | 1,000,000 | 500,000 |
+
+### RoPE Scaling 支持
+
+目前支持的 RoPE 类型:
+
+| `rope_type` | 说明 | 模型 |
+|-------------|------|------|
+| `None` | 标准 RoPE | Qwen3 |
+| `llama3` | Llama 3 频率缩放 | Llama 3.1 |
+
+Llama3 RoPE 特点:
+- 低频分量 (长距离依赖): 缩放 1/factor
+- 高频分量 (短距离依赖): 保持不变
+- 中频分量: 平滑插值
+
+## 权重加载
+
+### packed_modules_mapping
+
+nanovllm 将多个 HuggingFace 权重合并到单个张量中以提高效率:
+
+```python
+packed_modules_mapping = {
+    # HF 权重名: (nanovllm 权重名, shard_id)
+    "q_proj": ("qkv_proj", "q"),  # Q 投影 -> QKV 合并
+    "k_proj": ("qkv_proj", "k"),  # K 投影 -> QKV 合并
+    "v_proj": ("qkv_proj", "v"),  # V 投影 -> QKV 合并
+    "gate_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 0),  # Gate -> Gate+Up 合并
+    "up_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 1),    # Up -> Gate+Up 合并
+}
+```
+
+### 权重加载流程
+
+```python
+# nanovllm/utils/loader.py
+def load_model(model, path):
+    for file in glob(path + "/*.safetensors"):
+        with safe_open(file) as f:
+            for weight_name in f.keys():
+                # 检查是否需要映射
+                if weight_name in packed_modules_mapping:
+                    # 使用自定义 weight_loader
+                    param.weight_loader(param, tensor, shard_id)
+                else:
+                    # 直接复制
+                    param.data.copy_(tensor)
+```
+
+## 测试验证
+
+### Needle-in-Haystack 测试
+
+```bash
+# Llama 3.1 (32K, offload 模式)
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_needle.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --max-model-len 40960 \
+    --input-len 32768 \

+## 注意事项
+
+1. **Tokenizer 差异**: 不同模型的 tokenizer 分词策略不同，例如 Llama 将 "7492" 分为 2 tokens，Qwen3 分为 4 tokens。
+
+2. **RoPE Scaling**: 如果模型使用非标准 RoPE，需要在 `rotary_embedding.py` 中添加支持。
+
+3. **CPU Offload**: 在 3090 等显存有限的 GPU 上，使用 `--enable-offload` 进行长上下文测试。
+
+4. **Lost in Middle**: LLM 对开头信息的记忆能力较弱，这是模型本身的限制，不是实现问题。

-
-## 1. 配置字段映射
-
-不同模型使用不同的配置字段名称，需要建立映射关系：
-
-| 标准字段 | GLM-4 | Qwen | Llama | 说明 |
-|----------|-------|------|-------|------|
-| `num_key_value_heads` | `multi_query_group_num` | `num_key_value_heads` | `num_key_value_heads` | KV heads数量 |
-| `head_dim` | `kv_channels` | 计算得出 | 计算得出 | 每个head的维度 |
-| `intermediate_size` | `ffn_hidden_size` | `intermediate_size` | `intermediate_size` | FFN隐藏层大小 |
-| `max_position_embeddings` | `seq_length` | `max_position_embeddings` | `max_position_embeddings` | 最大位置 |
-| `rope_theta` | `10000 * rope_ratio` | `rope_theta` | `rope_theta` | RoPE基础频率 |
-
-### 代码示例
-
-```python
-# 在模型 __init__ 中处理配置差异
-num_kv_heads = getattr(config, 'num_key_value_heads',
-                       getattr(config, 'multi_query_group_num', num_heads))
-
-head_dim = getattr(config, 'head_dim',
-                   getattr(config, 'kv_channels', hidden_size // num_heads))
-
-intermediate_size = getattr(config, 'intermediate_size',
-                           getattr(config, 'ffn_hidden_size', None))
-
-max_position = getattr(config, 'max_position_embeddings',
-                       getattr(config, 'seq_length', 4096))
-```
-
----
-
-## 2. RoPE实现差异
-
-RoPE是模型整合中**最容易出错**的部分。不同模型可能使用不同的RoPE变体：
-
-### 2.1 旋转方式
-
-| 类型 | 描述 | 使用模型 |
-|------|------|----------|
-| **Half rotation** | 前半和后半分别旋转 `[x0,x1,...] → [x0*cos-x_{d/2}*sin, ...]` | Llama, Qwen |
-| **Interleaved rotation** | 相邻元素配对旋转 `[x0,x1,...] → [x0*cos-x1*sin, x1*cos+x0*sin, ...]` | GLM-4 |
-
-### 2.2 旋转维度
-
-| 类型 | 描述 | 使用模型 |
-|------|------|----------|
-| **Full rotation** | 旋转整个head_dim | Llama, Qwen |
-| **Partial rotation** | 只旋转head_dim的一部分，其余pass-through | GLM-4 (rotary_dim = head_dim // 2) |
-
-### 2.3 GLM-4 RoPE实现
-
-```python
-class GLM4RotaryEmbedding(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, head_dim, rotary_dim, ...):
-        # GLM-4只旋转一半维度
-        self.rotary_dim = rotary_dim  # = head_dim // 2
-
-    def forward(self, positions, query, key):
-        # 分离旋转部分和pass-through部分
-        q_rot = query[..., :self.rotary_dim]
-        q_pass = query[..., self.rotary_dim:]
-
-        # 只对旋转部分应用interleaved RoPE
-        q_rot = apply_rotary_emb_interleaved(q_rot, cos, sin)
-
-        # 拼接回去
-        return torch.cat([q_rot, q_pass], dim=-1), ...
-```
-
-### 2.4 调试RoPE问题
-
-**症状**：模型输出乱码或重复无意义的内容（如 "The. The. The..."）
-
-**调试方法**：
-```python
-# 对比HuggingFace参考实现的输出
-hf_q, hf_k = hf_model.apply_rotary_pos_emb(query, key, cos, sin)
-my_q, my_k = my_rotary_emb(positions, query, key)
-
-print(f"Q max diff: {(hf_q - my_q).abs().max()}")  # 应该 < 1e-5
-print(f"K max diff: {(hf_k - my_k).abs().max()}")  # 应该 < 1e-5
-```
-
----
-
-## 3. 权重名称映射
-
-不同模型的权重命名规范不同：
-
-### 3.1 常见映射
-
-| 组件 | Llama/Qwen | GLM-4 |
-|------|------------|-------|
-| Attention QKV | `q_proj`, `k_proj`, `v_proj` | `query_key_value` (合并) |
-| Attention Output | `o_proj` | `dense` |
-| MLP Gate | `gate_proj` | `dense_h_to_4h` (部分) |
-| MLP Up | `up_proj` | `dense_h_to_4h` (部分) |
-| MLP Down | `down_proj` | `dense_4h_to_h` |
-| LayerNorm | `input_layernorm` | `input_layernorm` |
-| Post-Attention LN | `post_attention_layernorm` | `post_attention_layernorm` |
-
-### 3.2 实现权重转换
-
-```python
-def convert_glm4_weights(name, param):
-    """将GLM-4权重名称转换为nanovllm格式"""
-    # 处理合并的QKV权重
-    if "query_key_value" in name:
-        # 拆分为q, k, v
-        q, k, v = param.split([q_size, kv_size, kv_size], dim=0)
-        return {"q_proj": q, "k_proj": k, "v_proj": v}
-
-    # 处理合并的gate+up权重
-    if "dense_h_to_4h" in name:
-        gate, up = param.chunk(2, dim=0)
-        return {"gate_proj": gate, "up_proj": up}
-
-    return {name: param}
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. EOS Token处理
-
-### 4.1 问题
-
-某些模型使用**多个EOS tokens**：
-
-| 模型 | EOS Token(s) | 说明 |
-|------|--------------|------|
-| Llama | `128001` | 单一EOS |
-| Qwen | `151643` | 单一EOS |
-| GLM-4 | `[151329, 151336, 151338]` | 多个：endoftext, user, observation |
-
-**问题**：`tokenizer.eos_token_id` 只返回第一个，导致模型不会在其他EOS token处停止。
-
-### 4.2 解决方案
-
-```python
-# config.py - 支持多个EOS
-eos: int | list[int] = -1
-
-# llm_engine.py - 从hf_config读取完整EOS列表
-eos_from_config = getattr(config.hf_config, 'eos_token_id', None)
-if eos_from_config is not None:
-    config.eos = eos_from_config
-else:
-    config.eos = self.tokenizer.eos_token_id
-
-# scheduler.py - 使用set进行高效查找
-self.eos_set = set(eos) if isinstance(eos, list) else {eos}
-
-# 检查时使用 in 而不是 ==
-if token_id in self.eos_set:
-    # 停止生成
-```
-
-### 4.3 调试EOS问题
-
-**症状**：模型总是生成到max_tokens才停止
-
-**调试方法**：
-```python
-# 检查EOS配置
-print(f"tokenizer.eos_token_id: {tokenizer.eos_token_id}")
-print(f"hf_config.eos_token_id: {config.hf_config.eos_token_id}")
-
-# 检查输出中的EOS tokens
-output = llm.generate([prompt], params)
-for eos_id in [151329, 151336, 151338]:
-    if eos_id in output[0]['token_ids']:
-        print(f"Found EOS {eos_id} at position {output[0]['token_ids'].index(eos_id)}")
-```
-
----
-
-## 5. Chat Template
-
-不同模型使用不同的对话模板：
-
-| 模型 | 模板格式 |
-|------|----------|
-| Llama-3 | `<\|begin_of_text\|><\|start_header_id\|>user<\|end_header_id\|>\n{content}<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|>\n` |
-| Qwen | `<\|im_start\|>user\n{content}<\|im_end\|>\n<\|im_start\|>assistant\n` |
-| GLM-4 | `[gMASK]<sop><\|user\|>\n{content}<\|assistant\|>\n` |
-
-### 实现模板转换
-
-```python
-def convert_to_model_prompt(prompt: str, model_type: str) -> str:
-    """将标准prompt转换为模型特定格式"""
-    if model_type == "glm4":
-        return f"[gMASK]<sop><|user|>\n{prompt}<|assistant|>\n"
-    elif model_type == "llama3":
-        return f"<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n{prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n"
-    # ...
-```
-
----
-
-## 6. 验证清单
-
-整合新模型后，按以下顺序验证：
-
-### 6.1 权重加载验证
-
-```python
-# 检查所有权重是否正确加载
-for name, param in model.named_parameters():
-    if param.abs().sum() == 0:
-        print(f"WARNING: {name} is all zeros!")
-```
-
-### 6.2 单层输出验证
-
-```python
-# 对比embedding层输出
-my_emb = my_model.embed_tokens(input_ids)
-hf_emb = hf_model.model.embed_tokens(input_ids)
-print(f"Embedding diff: {(my_emb - hf_emb).abs().max()}")  # < 1e-5
-
-# 对比第一层输出
-my_out = my_model.layers[0](my_emb, ...)
-hf_out = hf_model.model.layers[0](hf_emb, ...)
-print(f"Layer 0 diff: {(my_out - hf_out).abs().max()}")  # < 1e-4
-```
-
-### 6.3 生成质量验证
-
-```python
-# 简单问答测试
-prompt = "Hello, how are you?"
-output = llm.generate([prompt], SamplingParams(max_tokens=50))
-print(output[0]['text'])  # 应该是连贯的回答
-
-# 检查是否正确停止
-print(f"Generated {len(output[0]['token_ids'])} tokens (max=50)")
-```
-
-### 6.4 RULER基准测试
-
-```bash
-# 运行1个sample快速验证
-python tests/test_ruler.py --model <path> --num-samples 1
-
-# 验证通过后运行完整测试
-python tests/test_ruler.py --model <path> --num-samples 100
-```
-
----
-
-## 7. 常见问题速查
-
-| 症状 | 可能原因 | 解决方案 |
-|------|----------|----------|
-| 输出乱码/重复 | RoPE实现错误 | 检查旋转方式(interleaved vs half)和旋转维度(full vs partial) |
-| 数值爆炸(NaN/Inf) | 权重加载错误或dtype不匹配 | 检查权重映射，确保dtype一致 |
-| 不停止生成 | EOS token处理错误 | 从hf_config读取完整EOS列表 |
-| 输出质量差 | LayerNorm或bias缺失 | 检查add_qkv_bias等配置 |
-| 位置编码错误 | max_position_embeddings读取错误 | 检查配置字段名称(seq_length等) |
-

-# 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
-```

-# Observer Architecture
-
-nanovllm 的 Observer 架构用于统计推理过程中的关键指标，采用类变量（class variable）模式实现全局状态管理。
-
-## 架构概览
-
-```
-Observer (基类)
-├── InferenceObserver - 推理时间指标 (TTFT, TPOT)
-└── MemoryObserver - 内存传输统计 (H2D, D2H, D2D)
-```
-
-## 设计原则
-
-### 1. 类变量模式
-
-所有 Observer 使用类变量（而非实例变量）存储状态：
-
-```python
-class Observer:
-    """Observer 基类"""
-    _enabled: bool = True  # 类变量，控制是否启用
-
-class InferenceObserver(Observer):
-    ttft: int = 0          # 类变量，全局共享
-    tpot: int = 0
-    ttft_start: int = 0
-    tpot_start: int = 0
-```
-
-**优点**：
-- 无需实例化，任何地方都可以直接访问
-- 避免跨模块传递 observer 实例
-- 适合全局统计场景
-
-### 2. 启用/禁用控制
-
-每个 Observer 可独立启用/禁用：
-
-```python
-# 启用 MemoryObserver
-MemoryObserver._enabled = True
-
-# 禁用后，record_* 方法不会记录
-MemoryObserver._enabled = False
-```
-
-### 3. 阶段分离
-
-MemoryObserver 支持 prefill/decode 阶段分离统计：
-
-```python
-@classmethod
-def record_h2d(cls, num_bytes: int, is_prefill: bool = True) -> None:
-    if not cls._enabled:
-        return
-    cls.h2d_bytes += num_bytes
-    cls.h2d_count += 1
-    if is_prefill:
-        cls.prefill_h2d_bytes += num_bytes
-    else:
-        cls.decode_h2d_bytes += num_bytes
-```

-## 使用示例
-
-### 1. 启用并统计
-
-```python
-from nanovllm.utils.memory_observer import MemoryObserver
-
-# 启用统计
-MemoryObserver._enabled = True
-
-# 运行推理
-outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
-
-# 获取结果
-print(f"Prefill H2D: {MemoryObserver.prefill_h2d_bytes / 1e9:.2f} GB")
-print(f"Decode H2D: {MemoryObserver.decode_h2d_bytes / 1e9:.2f} GB")
-
-# 或使用 print_summary
-MemoryObserver.print_summary()
-```
-
-### 2. 在 bench_offload.py 中
-
-```python
-from nanovllm.utils.memory_observer import MemoryObserver
-
-# 启用
-MemoryObserver._enabled = True
-
-# benchmark 结束后打印
-def print_memory_stats():
-    fmt = MemoryObserver._fmt_bytes
-    print(f"[Memory] Prefill H2D: {fmt(MemoryObserver.prefill_h2d_bytes)}")
-    print(f"         Decode  H2D: {fmt(MemoryObserver.decode_h2d_bytes)}")
-```
-
-### 3. 获取结构化数据
-
-```python
-summary = MemoryObserver.get_summary()
-# {
-#     "total": {"h2d_bytes": ..., "d2h_bytes": ..., "d2d_bytes": ...},
-#     "prefill": {"h2d_bytes": ..., "d2h_bytes": ...},
-#     "decode": {"h2d_bytes": ..., "d2h_bytes": ...}
-# }
-```
-
-## 添加新 Observer
-
-1. 继承 `Observer` 基类
-2. 定义类变量存储统计数据
-3. 实现 `record_*` 方法（需检查 `_enabled`）
-4. 实现 `complete_reset()` 方法
-5. 在相关代码位置添加 `record_*` 调用
-6. 在 `llm_engine.py:generate()` 中添加 reset 调用
-
-```python
-from nanovllm.utils.observer import Observer
-
-class MyObserver(Observer):
-    _enabled: bool = False
-    my_metric: int = 0
-
-    @classmethod
-    def record_event(cls, value: int) -> None:
-        if not cls._enabled:
-            return
-        cls.my_metric += value
-

+# CPU Offload Accuracy Issue Investigation
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+**UPDATE (2026-01-12)**: Single request inference works correctly! The issue is with batch/sequential request handling.
+
+| Mode | Testing Method | Accuracy |
+|------|----------------|----------|
+| **CPU Offload** | **Independent** (1 request per process) | **100%** ✓ |
+| **CPU Offload** | Batch (multiple requests per process) | 66% ✗ |
+| **Non-Offload** | Batch | 100% ✓ |
+
+**Conclusion**: The offload implementation is correct for single requests. The bug is in state cleanup between sequential requests within the same process.
+
+## Test Environment
+
+- **Model**: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
+- **Task**: RULER NIAH (Needle-In-A-Haystack) 32K context
+- **GPU**: NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB
+- **Data**: `tests/data/ruler_niah/niah_single_1_32k.jsonl` (100 samples)
+
+## Reproduction Commands
+
+### Non-Offload Mode (100% accuracy)
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --gpu-utilization 0.7 \
+    --quiet
+```
+
+**Configuration**:
+- KV Cache: GPU only, 51 blocks (6528 MB)
+- Block size: 1024 tokens
+
+### Offload Mode (66% accuracy)
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --quiet
+```
+
+**Configuration**:
+- KV Cache: GPU 4 blocks (512 MB) + CPU 32 blocks (4096 MB)
+- Ring buffer: 4 buffers × 33280 tokens (520 MB)
+- Per-layer decode buffer: 128 MB
+- Block size: 1024 tokens
+
+## Observed Failure Patterns
+
+From the 5-sample verbose test:
+
+| Sample | Expected | Offload Output | Status |
+|--------|----------|----------------|--------|
+| 0 | 8930103 | `: 8930103.` | PASS |
+| 1 | 4194548 | `: 419 multiplication of 4548.` | **FAIL** |
+| 2 | 8231838 | `:ное 8231838.` | PASS |
+| 3 | 8835373 | `: 8835373.` | PASS |
+| 4 | 7754864 | `aster 7754864.` | PASS |
+
+**Failure pattern**: The model sometimes produces corrupted or split outputs (e.g., "419 multiplication of 4548" instead of "4194548").
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Offload Mode Data Flow
+
+```
+Prefill Phase:
+1. Input tokens → chunked into 2048-token chunks
+2. Each chunk processed layer by layer:
+   - Load KV from CPU → GPU ring buffer
+   - Compute attention
+   - Store KV back to CPU
+3. Ring buffer holds recent KV for decode
+
+Decode Phase:
+1. For each new token:
+   - Load all layer KV from CPU (one layer at a time)
+   - Compute attention against full context
+   - Generate next token
+```
+
+### Key Components
+
+| File | Component | Description |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` | `OffloadEngine` | Manages CPU↔GPU KV cache transfers |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` | `RingKVBuffer` | GPU ring buffer for recent KV |
+| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | `run_chunked_offload_prefill()` | Chunked prefill with offload |
+| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | `run_offload_decode()` | Layer-wise decode with offload |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py` | `HybridBlockManager` | CPU block allocation |
+
+## Potential Root Causes
+
+### 1. Ring Buffer Index/Position Issues
+
+**Location**: `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
+
+The ring buffer uses modular indexing. Potential issues:
+- Position calculation errors during prefill/decode transition
+- Off-by-one errors in KV storage/retrieval
+- Incorrect handling when sequence length approaches `max_seq_len`
+
+**Recent fix applied**: `max_seq_len = max_model_len + 512` to prevent overflow, but there may be other indexing issues.
+
+### 2. Chunked Prefill KV Storage
+
+**Location**: `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:run_chunked_offload_prefill()`
+
+During chunked prefill:
+- KV computed for chunk N must be correctly stored before processing chunk N+1
+- Position IDs must be correctly accumulated across chunks
+- CPU block allocation must be contiguous and correctly tracked
+
+**Suspect areas**:
+```python
+# Check if positions are correctly tracked across chunks
+# Check if KV is correctly copied to CPU after each chunk
+# Check if ring buffer indices align with CPU block indices
+```
+
+### 3. Decode Phase KV Loading
+
+**Location**: `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:run_offload_decode()`
+
+During decode:
+- Must load KV for ALL previous tokens (both prefill and decode)
+- Layer-by-layer loading must be synchronized correctly
+- Attention computation must use correct sequence length
+
+**Suspect areas**:
+```python
+# Check if decode loads KV for full context length
+# Check if new decode KV is stored correctly
+# Check if attention mask/positions are correct
+```
+
+### 4. CPU↔GPU Transfer Synchronization
+
+**Location**: `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
+
+CUDA streams and synchronization:
+- Async copies may complete out of order
+- Missing synchronization points could cause stale data
+- Stream priorities may affect correctness
+
+### 5. Numerical Precision
+
+- CPU tensors use float16/bfloat16
+- GPU computation precision
+- Potential precision loss during transfers
+
+## Debugging Strategy
+
+### Step 1: Identify Failing Samples
+
+```bash
+# Run verbose mode to see which samples fail
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --verbose 2>&1 | tee offload_verbose.log
+```
+
+### Step 2: Compare Token-by-Token
+
+Create a debug script to compare token generation between offload and non-offload modes for a failing sample:
+
+```python
+# Compare logits at each decode step
+# Check if divergence starts at a specific position
+# Log KV cache contents at divergence point
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify KV Cache Contents
+
+Add debugging to `OffloadEngine`:
+
+```python
+# In store_kv(): Log what's being stored
+# In load_kv(): Log what's being loaded
+# Compare loaded KV with expected values
+```
+
+### Step 4: Check Position/Index Calculations
+
+```python
+# Log ring buffer write/read positions
+# Log CPU block indices
+# Verify position IDs match actual token positions
+```
+
+### Step 5: Isolate the Bug
+
+1. Test with shorter sequences (16K, 8K) to see if issue is length-dependent
+2. Test with single chunk (no chunking) to isolate chunked prefill
+3. Test prefill-only (no decode) to isolate decode phase
+
+## Quick Debugging Commands
+
+```bash
+# Test single failing sample with verbose output
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --sample-indices 1 \
+    --verbose
+
+# Test with different context lengths
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --max-model-len 16384 \
+    --verbose
+```

+
+## Test Results Log
+
+### 2026-01-12 (Updated - Independent Testing)
+
+**Key Finding**: When each sample is tested independently (separate Python process per sample), CPU offload achieves **100% accuracy**.
+
+| Test | Mode | Testing Method | Samples | Passed | Accuracy |
+|------|------|----------------|---------|--------|----------|
+| RULER NIAH 32K | CPU Offload | **Independent** (separate process) | 100 | 100 | **100%** |
+| RULER NIAH 32K | CPU Offload | Batch (single process) | 100 | 66 | 66% |
+| RULER NIAH 32K | Non-Offload | Batch (single process) | 100 | 100 | 100% |
+
+**Test Configuration (Independent Mode)**:
+- GPUs: 4x RTX 3090 (parallel testing)
+- Each sample: Fresh Python process with new LLM instance
+- Port: Each GPU uses unique port (2333+gpu_id)
+- Duration: 17.9 minutes for 100 samples
+- Throughput: 5.58 samples/min
+
+### 2025-01-12 (Original - Batch Testing)
+
+| Test | Mode | Samples | Passed | Accuracy |
+|------|------|---------|--------|----------|
+| RULER NIAH 32K | Non-Offload | 100 | 100 | 100% |
+| RULER NIAH 32K | CPU Offload | 100 | 66 | 66% |
+
+## Root Cause Analysis Update
+
+### Confirmed: Single Request Inference is Correct
+
+The 100% accuracy in independent testing mode confirms that:
+1. **Single request inference works correctly** - The offload engine, ring buffer, and chunked prefill are functioning properly for individual requests
+2. **The bug is in batch/sequential request handling** - State accumulation or incomplete cleanup between requests causes failures
+
+### Suspected Issue: State Accumulation Between Requests
+
+When multiple requests are processed in the same Python process:
+- The first request succeeds (e.g., Sample 0: PASS)
+- Subsequent requests may fail due to:
+  - Residual state in ring buffer
+  - Incomplete KV cache cleanup
+  - Position tracking errors across requests
+  - CPU block allocation fragmentation
+
+### Evidence
+
+From batch mode testing (5 samples):
+| Sample | Expected | Output | Status |
+|--------|----------|--------|--------|
+| 0 | 8930103 | `: 8930103.` | PASS (first request) |
+| 1 | 4194548 | `: 419 multiplication of 4548.` | **FAIL** (second request) |
+| 2 | 8231838 | `:ное 8231838.` | PASS |
+| 3 | 8835373 | `: 8835373.` | PASS |
+| 4 | 7754864 | `aster 7754864.` | PASS |
+
+The corrupted output in Sample 1 suggests interference from Sample 0's state.
+
+## Workaround
+
+Use independent testing mode (separate process per request) for production evaluation:
+
+```bash
+# Using test_ruler_niah.sh for parallel independent testing
+./tests/test_ruler_niah.sh --gpus "0,1,2,3" --total 100
+
+# Or manually run each sample in a separate process
+for i in $(seq 0 99); do
+    CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
+        --enable-offload --sample-indices $i --quiet
+done
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. [x] ~~Identify pattern in failing samples~~ → Pattern: First sample usually passes, failures occur in subsequent samples
+2. [ ] **Investigate state cleanup between requests in offload mode**
+   - Check `OffloadEngine` reset/cleanup logic
+   - Check ring buffer state between requests
+   - Check CPU block manager cleanup
+3. [ ] Add `reset()` method to `OffloadEngine` for explicit state cleanup
+4. [ ] Compare state between first and second request in batch mode
+5. [ ] Write unit test that reproduces the batch mode failure

-## 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)
-

-|--------|-----------|---------|
-| **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.

-# 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
-
-```

-
-### 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)

-# 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()
-```

-## 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
-
-#### Type 1: Corrupted Number Output
-```
-Index 28: 标准答案=9874152, 当前输出=:151:52
-Index 33: 标准答案=9196204, 当前输出=:
-Index 40: 标准答案=6171716, 当前输出=: 17: 16
-```
-
-#### Type 2: Number Repetition/Loop

-Index 61: 当前输出=: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, ...
-Index 65: 当前输出=:361361361361361361361361361361...
-```
-
-#### Type 3: Duplicated "is:" Pattern

-## 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 |
-| **UUID 检索错误** | Expected `c73ed342-...`, Got `1d28b88b-...` | 返回了错误 key 对应的 UUID |
-

-| 85 | `1253265` | `3263480` | 错误 key |
-| 86 | `7772887` | `3762547` | 错误 key |
-| 89 | `2266721` | `5873220` | 错误 key |
-| 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 |
-| 23 | `ed344bfe-983f-...` | `aec43163-061a-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
-| 35 | `ac8a317b-a6bb-...` | `d2f22889-5b72-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
-| 41 | `7842feb5-e758-...` | `fc8e724e-418d-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |

-| 93 | `74651292-5664-...` | `4546dd56-fe88-...` | 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

+| **总计** | **13 数据集** | **1197/1300** | **92.1%** | **0.897** |
+
+### 分类性能分析
+
+| 任务类别 | 描述 | 准确率 | 评价 |
+|----------|------|--------|------|
+| NIAH Single | 单 needle 检索 | 100% | 优秀 |
+| NIAH MultiKey | 多 key 检索 | 94.3% | 良好 |
+| NIAH MultiQuery/Value | 复杂检索 | 100% | 优秀 |
+| QA | 问答理解 | 65% | 一般 |
+| Aggregation (CWE/FWE) | 信息聚合 | 92% | 良好 |
+| Variable Tracking | 变量追踪 | 100% | 优秀 |
+
+## 发现的问题及修复
+
+### 问题: FWE 测试崩溃
+
+**症状**: 第 63 个样本处触发 `AssertionError: No sequences scheduled`
+
+**根因分析**:
+1. Sample 63 的输入有 32760 tokens（接近 max_model_len=32768）
+2. Decode 到第 9 步时，需要第 33 个 KV block
+3. 但系统只配置了 32 个 blocks（32768/1024=32）
+4. 调度器尝试 preempt 但单序列模式下无法恢复
+
+**解决方案**:
+```python
+# 修改前
+DEFAULT_MAX_MODEL_LEN = 32768
+
+# 修改后: 为 output tokens 预留空间
+DEFAULT_MAX_MODEL_LEN = 32896  # 32768 + 128
+```
+
+**建议的代码改进**:
+1. 在 scheduler 中添加死锁检测和清晰错误信息
+2. 在配置验证时，如果 max_model_len 与 max_input 过于接近，发出警告
+
+## 评估方法
+
+遵循 RULER 官方评估标准:
+- **NIAH/VT/CWE/FWE**: `string_match_all` - 召回率 (找到的参考数/总参考数)
+- **QA**: `string_match_part` - 任意参考匹配即满分
+
+参考: https://github.com/NVIDIA/RULER
+
+## 测试配置
+
+```python
+LLM(
+    model_path="~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
+    max_model_len=32896,
+    max_num_batched_tokens=32896,
+    enable_cpu_offload=True,
+    num_gpu_blocks=4,
+    kvcache_block_size=1024,
+    enforce_eager=True,
+)
+```
+
+## 结论
+
+1. **长上下文检索能力**: nano-vllm CPU offload 模式在 32K 上下文下表现优秀，NIAH 类任务准确率接近 100%
+
+2. **复杂推理能力**: QA 任务准确率较低 (65%)，这是模型本身能力的体现，与 offload 机制无关
+
+3. **稳定性**: 修复 max_model_len 配置后，所有 1300 个样本测试均稳定完成
+
+4. **性能**: 单样本测试时间约 25-35 秒，主要受 CPU-GPU 数据传输影响

+# RULER NIAH Standalone Test Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes how to independently test nano-vllm's CPU offload functionality using RULER benchmark's NIAH (Needle-In-A-Haystack) task data.
+
+## Background
+
+### Problem Being Investigated
+
+When running 32K sequence length tests with CPU offload mode, the model outputs garbled text instead of finding the magic number. This issue was traced to:
+
+- **Root Cause**: Ring buffer `max_seq_len` was set equal to `max_model_len` (32768)
+- **Issue**: When prefill uses ~32K tokens, decode needs to store KV at position 32768+, but ring buffer only has indices 0-32767
+- **Fix Applied**: In `nanovllm/kvcache/__init__.py`, changed `max_seq_len = max_model_len + 512`
+
+### Test Objective
+
+Verify that the fix works correctly by running a standalone test with actual RULER NIAH data.
+
+## Step 1: Copy Test Data
+
+### Source Location
+
+```
+/home/zijie/Code/x-attention/eval/RULER/scripts/benchmark_root/full_fuse_16_llama3.1-8b-chat/synthetic/32768/data/niah_single_1/validation.jsonl
+```
+
+### Data Format
+
+Each line is a JSON object:
+
+```json
+{
+  "index": 0,
+  "input": "<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nA special magic number is hidden within the following text...",
+  "outputs": ["8930103"],
+  "length": 32768
+}
+```
+
+- `input`: Full prompt with Llama 3.1 chat template (~122K characters, ~30K tokens)
+- `outputs`: Expected answer (the magic number to find)
+- `length`: Target sequence length in tokens
+
+### Copy Command
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/tests/data/ruler_niah
+cp /home/zijie/Code/x-attention/eval/RULER/scripts/benchmark_root/full_fuse_16_llama3.1-8b-chat/synthetic/32768/data/niah_single_1/validation.jsonl \
+   /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/tests/data/ruler_niah/niah_single_1_32k.jsonl
+```
+
+## Step 2: Create Test Script
+
+Create `/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/tests/test_ruler_niah_32k.py`:
+
+```python
+"""
+Standalone test for RULER NIAH task with 32K context length.

+- Score: 0% (magic number not found)
+- Time: ~80 seconds per sample
+
+### After Fix (Expected)
+
+- Output: The magic number (e.g., "8930103")
+- Score: ~100% (magic number found)
+- Time: ~80 seconds per sample (same, as the compute is unchanged)
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+### Enable Verbose Logging
+
+```python
+import logging
+logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
+```
+
+### Check Ring Buffer Size
+
+In the logs, verify:
+```
+OffloadEngine initializing: num_layers=32, num_kv_buffers=4, max_seq_len=33280
+```
+
+The `max_seq_len` should be `32768 + 512 = 33280` (not 32768).
+
+### Monitor GPU Memory
+
+```bash
+watch -n 1 nvidia-smi
+```
+
+With CPU offload, GPU memory for KV cache should be ~640MB (ring buffer only).

 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

-
-| 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

+# Sparse Policy Integration with Layerwise Offload
+
+This document describes the architecture and design of integrating sparse attention policies (MInference, Quest) with the layerwise CPU offload execution path.
+
+## Design Goals
+
+1. **Extend sparse policies to offload path**: GPU-only path already supports sparse policies, but layerwise offload bypasses them
+2. **Maintain encapsulation**: All `copy_()` operations must be inside OffloadEngine, not exposed to model_runner
+3. **Distinguish policy types**: Some policies affect attention computation (MInference), others affect KV load strategy (Quest)
+4. **Extensible architecture**: Easy to add new sparse policies in the future
+
+## Key Insight
+
+The existing sparse policy implementation works, but the layerwise offload path bypasses it:
+
+| Path | Attention Method | Sparse Support |
+|------|------------------|----------------|
+| GPU-only | `attention.py` → `sparse_prefill_attention()` | YES |
+| Layerwise offload | `model_runner.py` → `flash_attn_varlen_func()` | NO (direct call) |
+
+## Two Types of Sparse Policies
+
+The fundamental difference between sparse policies:
+
+| Policy | Affects Attention Computation | Affects KV Load Strategy | `select_blocks()` Behavior |
+|--------|------------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|
+| **MInference** | YES (`sparse_prefill_attention`) | NO | `return available_blocks` (all) |
+| **Quest** | NO | YES | Returns Top-K subset |
+
+- **MInference**: Only changes how attention is computed, doesn't affect external load/offload flow
+- **Quest**: Selectively loads only some blocks, affects H2D transfer
+
+## The `requires_block_selection` Interface Flag
+
+To distinguish these policy types, we add a flag to the base class:
+
+```python
+# nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py
+class SparsePolicy(ABC):
+    # Existing flags
+    supports_prefill: bool = True
+    supports_decode: bool = True
+
+    # NEW: Whether this policy requires selective block loading
+    # If True: OffloadEngine will call select_blocks() before loading
+    # If False: OffloadEngine will load all blocks (select_blocks ignored)
+    requires_block_selection: bool = False
+```
+
+### Policy Implementations
+
+```python
+# MInference: prefill-only, no block selection
+class MInferencePolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = False
+    requires_block_selection = False  # Only affects attention computation
+
+# Quest: decode-only, requires block selection
+class QuestPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = False
+    supports_decode = True
+    requires_block_selection = True  # Affects KV load strategy
+
+# Full attention: baseline
+class FullAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = True
+    requires_block_selection = False  # Load all blocks
+```
+
+## OffloadEngine Encapsulation
+
+All KV cache operations are encapsulated in OffloadEngine. The model_runner never directly accesses internal storage.
+
+### Prefill: Synchronous Offload with Hooks

+
+### Quest Integration (Future Work)
+
+When Quest is fully integrated:

+        query=q  # Pass query for block selection
+    )
+```
+
+**Challenge**: First N layers are preloaded before query is available, so they must use full load.

+
+## Sparse Policy Hooks
+
+Sparse policies can implement hooks for metadata collection:
+
+```python
+class SparsePolicy(ABC):
+    def on_prefill_offload(
+        self,
+        block_id: int,
+        layer_id: int,
+        key: torch.Tensor,
+        valid_tokens: int,
+    ) -> None:
+        """
+        Hook called during prefill offload BEFORE KV is copied to CPU.
+        Key tensor is still on GPU - can compute metadata efficiently.
+
+        Used by Quest to compute min/max key statistics for block selection.
+        """
+        pass
+
+    def on_decode_offload(
+        self,
+        block_id: int,
+        keys: torch.Tensor,  # [num_layers, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
+    ) -> None:
+        """
+        Hook called when decode buffer is offloaded to CPU.
+        """
+        pass
+```
+
+## File Changes Summary
+
+| File | Changes |
+|------|---------|
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py` | Add `requires_block_selection` attribute |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/minference.py` | Set `requires_block_selection = False` |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/quest.py` | Set `requires_block_selection = True` |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py` | Set `requires_block_selection = False` |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` | Add `offload_layer_kv_sync()`, sparse hooks |
+| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | Integrate sparse policies in offload paths |
+
+## Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Encapsulation**: All `copy_()` operations inside OffloadEngine
+2. **Interface Flag**: `requires_block_selection` declares policy type
+3. **Separation of Concerns**:
+   - MInference: only `sparse_prefill_attention()` (compute-level)
+   - Quest: `select_blocks()` + hooks (load-level)
+4. **Hooks Inside Engine**: Policy hooks called within OffloadEngine methods
+
+## Test Results
+
+Verified on Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 with 32K input:
+
+```
+# GPU-only + MInference
+test_needle.py --model Qwen3-4B --input-len 32768 --enable-minference
+- Prefill: 3383 tok/s
+- Output: "7492<|im_end|>"
+- Result: PASSED
+
+# Offload + MInference
+test_needle.py --model Qwen3-4B --input-len 32768 --enable-offload --enable-minference
+- Prefill: 5373 tok/s
+- Output: "7492<|im_end|>"
+- Result: PASSED
+```
+
+Both configurations produce identical outputs, confirming correctness.

-# 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
-```

-# SparsePolicy Implementation Guide
-
-This guide describes how to implement a custom `SparsePolicy` for sparse attention in CPU offload mode.
-
-## Overview
-
-`SparsePolicy` is an abstract base class that controls:
-1. **Block Selection**: Which KV cache blocks to load from CPU for each query
-2. **Attention Computation**: How to compute chunked prefill and decode attention
-
-All computation happens in the policy, with `attention.py` only delegating to the policy methods.
-
----
-
-## Base Class Structure
-
-```python
-class SparsePolicy(ABC):
-    # Phase support flags (REQUIRED to override)
-    supports_prefill: bool = True
-    supports_decode: bool = True
-
-    # Abstract methods (MUST implement)
-    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx) -> List[int]
-    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, q, k, v, layer_id, ...) -> torch.Tensor
-    def compute_chunked_decode(self, q, layer_id, ...) -> torch.Tensor
-
-    # Optional hooks (CAN override)
-    def initialize(self, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim, num_cpu_blocks, dtype, device)
-    def on_prefill_offload(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id, k_cache, num_valid_tokens)
-    def on_decode_offload(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id, k_cache, num_valid_tokens)
-    def reset(self)
-```
-
----
-
-## 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

+# Sparse Prefill Attention Integration Plan
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+本文档整合了 int-minference-1/2/3 三个分支的分析，提出统一的三种稀疏注意力策略（MInference、XAttention、FlexPrefill）集成方案。
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: 现状分析
+
+### 1.1 x-attention 仓库策略对比
+
+| 策略 | Pattern 类型 | 估计方法 | Kernel Backend |
+|------|-------------|---------|----------------|
+| **MInference** | Vertical + Slash | Last-64-Q attention → 列/对角线求和 | `vertical_slash_sparse_attention` (minference lib) |
+| **XAttention** | Block Mask | Stride-based Q/K 下采样 → block 分数 | `block_sparse_attn_func` (MIT-HAN-LAB) |
+| **FlexPrefill** | Adaptive V+S | Last-block attention + JS 散度自适应 | `triton_block_wise_attention` (custom triton) |
+
+### 1.2 关键发现：两种 Kernel 接口
+
+**接口 A: Index-Based (minference)**
+```python
+# MInference 使用 vertical+slash indices
+vertical_indices = [heads, vertical_size]  # 重要 K 列位置
+slash_indices = [heads, slash_size]        # 对角线偏移
+output = vertical_slash_sparse_attention(q, k, v, vertical_indices, slash_indices)
+```
+
+**接口 B: Block Mask-Based (block_sparse_attn)**
+```python
+# XAttention/FlexPrefill 使用 boolean block mask
+block_mask = torch.bool[batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]  # True = 计算
+output = block_sparse_attn_func(q, k, v, block_mask, ...)
+```
+
+### 1.3 当前 nanovllm MInference 实现
+
+**文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/minference.py`
+
+**已实现功能**:
+- `estimate_pattern()`: 使用 last-64-Q 估计 vertical+slash pattern
+- `sparse_prefill_attention()`: 调用 minference kernel 执行稀疏注意力
+- 支持 GQA（通过 K/V repeat_interleave）
+- 支持 adaptive_budget 自适应预算
+
+**问题**:
+1. 与 XAttention/FlexPrefill 使用不同 kernel，无法统一接口
+2. `sparse_prefill_attention()` 将估计和执行耦合在一起
+3. 没有 BlockMask 中间表示，难以复用
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: 架构设计
+
+### 2.1 设计原则
+
+1. **向后兼容**: 保持现有 `SparsePolicy` 接口不变
+2. **渐进式重构**: 添加新功能而非替换
+3. **统一中间表示**: 新策略使用 `BlockMask` 作为可选中间表示
+4. **可插拔 Kernel**: 支持多种 attention kernel backend
+
+### 2.2 架构图

+
+---
+
+## Part 4: 依赖管理
+
+### 必需依赖
+
+```
+# requirements.txt 新增
+block-sparse-attn    # MIT-HAN-LAB block sparse kernel
+triton>=2.0          # FlexPrefill Triton kernels
+```
+
+### 安装说明
+
+```bash
+# block_sparse_attn from MIT-HAN-LAB
+pip install git+https://github.com/mit-han-lab/Block-Sparse-Attention.git
+
+# 或从本地安装（如果有）
+cd /home/zijie/Code/x-attention/Block-Sparse-Attention
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+---
+
+## Part 5: 配置参数汇总
+
+### SparsePolicyType 枚举
+
+```python
+class SparsePolicyType(str, Enum):
+    FULL = "full"              # 全注意力（无稀疏）
+    QUEST = "quest"            # Decode-only Top-K
+    MINFERENCE = "minference"  # Prefill vertical+slash
+    XATTENTION = "xattention"  # Prefill stride-based block
+    FLEXPREFILL = "flexprefill"  # Prefill adaptive JS-divergence
+```
+
+### 策略参数对照表
+
+| 策略 | 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|-----|--------|------|
+| MInference | `adaptive_budget` | 0.3 | 预算占 seq_len 比例 |
+| MInference | `vertical_size` | 1000 | 固定 vertical 大小 |
+| MInference | `slash_size` | 6096 | 固定 slash 大小 |
+| XAttention | `stride` | 16 | Q/K 下采样步长 |
+| XAttention | `threshold` | 0.9 | 累积分数阈值 |
+| XAttention | `block_size` | 128 | Block 大小 |
+| FlexPrefill | `gamma` | 0.9 | 基础覆盖率 |
+| FlexPrefill | `tau` | 0.1 | JS 散度阈值 |
+| FlexPrefill | `min_budget` | 128 | 最小 token 预算 |
+| FlexPrefill | `block_size` | 128 | Block 大小 |
+
+---
+
+## Part 6: 成功标准
+
+1. **正确性**: 所有三种策略通过 32K+ needle-in-haystack 测试
+2. **性能**: 稀疏 prefill 比全注意力快 (>1.5x speedup at 64K)
+3. **统一接口**: XAttention/FlexPrefill 使用 BlockMask + block_sparse_attn
+4. **向后兼容**: 现有 MInference 配置继续工作
+5. **可配置**: 所有策略参数可通过 LLM 配置设置
+

+
+## Part 7: 风险评估
+
+| 风险 | 影响 | 可能性 | 缓解措施 |
+|------|-----|--------|---------|
+| block_sparse_attn 硬件兼容性 | 高 | 中 | 测试目标硬件，fallback 到 flash_attn |
+| MInference → block mask 精度损失 | 中 | 低 | 对比测试输出差异 |
+| Triton kernel 移植问题 | 中 | 中 | 使用非 Triton fallback |
+| 内存开销增加 | 低 | 低 | block_size=128 → 1KB/head for 128K |

+# Transformers 低版本兼容性问题
+
+## 概述
+
+本文档详细记录了 nano-vllm 在低版本 transformers（< 4.51.0）环境下的兼容性问题。这些问题源于 nano-vllm 使用了 transformers 4.51.0 才引入的 `Qwen3Config` 类。
+
+## 问题背景
+
+### 测试环境
+
+| 环境 | 版本 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| Docker 镜像 | `tzj/ruler:v0.3` | NVIDIA PyTorch 24.08 容器 |
+| transformers | 4.45.2 | 系统预装版本 |
+| Python | 3.10.12 | 系统版本 |
+| PyTorch | 2.5.0a0+872d972 | CUDA 12.6 |
+
+### 冲突场景
+
+在 RULER benchmark 测试环境中，NeMo 框架依赖 transformers 4.45.2 和特定版本的 `huggingface_hub`。升级 transformers 到 4.51.0+ 会导致：
+
+```
+ImportError: cannot import name 'ModelFilter' from 'huggingface_hub'
+```
+
+因此需要 nano-vllm 适配低版本 transformers，以便在同一环境中运行。
+
+## 详细问题分析
+
+### 1. 核心问题：Qwen3Config 不存在
+
+**错误信息**：
+```python
+ImportError: cannot import name 'Qwen3Config' from 'transformers'
+(/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/transformers/__init__.py)
+```
+
+**问题根源**：
+- `Qwen3Config` 是在 transformers **4.51.0** 版本中首次引入
+- transformers 4.45.2 只包含 `Qwen2` 系列模型
+
+**受影响版本**：
+| transformers 版本 | Qwen3 支持 | 可用 Qwen 模型 |
+|------------------|-----------|---------------|
+| < 4.51.0 | 不支持 | qwen2, qwen2_audio, qwen2_moe, qwen2_vl |
+| >= 4.51.0 | 支持 | qwen2 系列 + qwen3, qwen3_moe |
+
+### 2. 影响范围
+
+#### 2.1 直接影响的文件
+
+| 文件路径 | 问题代码 | 影响 |
+|---------|---------|------|
+| `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py:4` | `from transformers import Qwen3Config` | 直接导入失败 |
+| `nanovllm/models/__init__.py:6` | `from nanovllm.models import qwen3` | 触发 qwen3 导入 |
+
+#### 2.2 级联影响
+
+由于 `nanovllm/models/__init__.py` 无条件导入了 `qwen3` 模块，会导致以下级联失败：
+
+```python
+# 这些导入都会失败
+from nanovllm.models import llama          # FAILED
+from nanovllm.models import get_model_class # FAILED
+import nanovllm                            # FAILED
+```
+
+**测试验证**：
+```python
+# transformers 4.45.2 环境
+
+>>> from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model
+SUCCESS  # registry 本身可以导入
+
+>>> from nanovllm.config import Config
+SUCCESS  # config 不依赖 Qwen3Config
+
+>>> from nanovllm.models import llama
+FAILED: cannot import name 'Qwen3Config' from 'transformers'
+# 因为 models/__init__.py 先导入了 qwen3
+```
+
+### 3. Qwen3Config 使用位置
+
+在 `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` 中的使用：
+
+```python
+# Line 4
+from transformers import Qwen3Config
+
+# Line 128-129: 类型注解
+class Qwen3DecoderLayer(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, config: Qwen3Config) -> None:
+        ...
+
+# Line 170-171: 类型注解
+class Qwen3Model(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, config: Qwen3Config) -> None:
+        ...
+
+# Line 200-203: 类型注解
+class Qwen3ForCausalLM(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, config: Qwen3Config) -> None:
+        ...
+```
+
+### 4. Qwen3Config 属性使用
+
+代码中使用了以下 `Qwen3Config` 属性：
+
+| 属性 | 位置 | 用途 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `hidden_size` | Line 131, 147, 173 | 隐藏层维度 |
+| `num_attention_heads` | Line 132 | 注意力头数 |
+| `num_key_value_heads` | Line 133 | KV 头数 |
+| `max_position_embeddings` | Line 134 | 最大位置编码 |
+| `rms_norm_eps` | Line 135, 147, 148, 175 | RMSNorm epsilon |
+| `attention_bias` | Line 136 (getattr) | 是否使用注意力偏置 |
+| `head_dim` | Line 137 (getattr) | 注意力头维度 |
+| `rope_theta` | Line 138 (getattr) | RoPE base |
+| `rope_scaling` | Line 139 (getattr) | RoPE scaling 配置 |
+| `intermediate_size` | Line 144 | FFN 中间层维度 |
+| `hidden_act` | Line 145 | 激活函数类型 |
+| `vocab_size` | Line 173, 206 | 词表大小 |
+| `num_hidden_layers` | Line 174 | Transformer 层数 |
+| `tie_word_embeddings` | Line 207 | 是否共享词嵌入 |
+
+## 解决方案建议
+
+### 方案 1: 条件导入（推荐）
+
+修改 `nanovllm/models/__init__.py`：
+
+```python
+"""Model registry and model implementations."""
+
+from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model, get_model_class, MODEL_REGISTRY
+
+# Import models to trigger registration
+# Llama is always available
+from nanovllm.models import llama
+
+# Qwen3 requires transformers >= 4.51.0
+try:
+    from nanovllm.models import qwen3
+except ImportError:
+    import warnings
+    warnings.warn(
+        "Qwen3 models require transformers >= 4.51.0. "
+        "Install with: pip install 'transformers>=4.51.0'"
+    )
+
+__all__ = ["register_model", "get_model_class", "MODEL_REGISTRY"]
+```
+
+修改 `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py`：
+
+```python
+import torch
+from torch import nn
+import torch.distributed as dist
+
+# Conditional import for Qwen3Config
+try:
+    from transformers import Qwen3Config
+except ImportError:
+    # Create a placeholder for type hints when Qwen3Config is not available
+    Qwen3Config = None
+    raise ImportError(
+        "Qwen3Config requires transformers >= 4.51.0. "
+        "Current version does not support Qwen3 models."
+    )
+
+# ... rest of the code
+```
+
+### 方案 2: 使用 AutoConfig（兼容性更好）
+
+修改 `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` 以使用 `AutoConfig` 而非具体的 `Qwen3Config`：
+
+```python
+from typing import TYPE_CHECKING, Any
+
+# Only import Qwen3Config for type checking
+if TYPE_CHECKING:
+    from transformers import Qwen3Config
+
+# Runtime: use duck typing
+class Qwen3DecoderLayer(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, config: Any) -> None:  # Accept any config-like object
+        super().__init__()
+        # Access attributes via getattr for safety
+        self.self_attn = Qwen3Attention(
+            hidden_size=config.hidden_size,
+            num_heads=config.num_attention_heads,
+            num_kv_heads=config.num_key_value_heads,
+            max_position=config.max_position_embeddings,
+            rms_norm_eps=config.rms_norm_eps,
+            qkv_bias=getattr(config, 'attention_bias', True),
+            head_dim=getattr(config, 'head_dim', None),
+            rope_theta=getattr(config, "rope_theta", 1000000),
+            rope_scaling=getattr(config, "rope_scaling", None),
+        )
+        # ...
+```
+
+### 方案 3: 版本检查与优雅降级
+
+在 `nanovllm/__init__.py` 或启动时添加版本检查：
+
+```python
+import transformers
+from packaging import version
+
+TRANSFORMERS_VERSION = version.parse(transformers.__version__)
+QWEN3_MIN_VERSION = version.parse("4.51.0")
+
+QWEN3_AVAILABLE = TRANSFORMERS_VERSION >= QWEN3_MIN_VERSION
+
+if not QWEN3_AVAILABLE:
+    import warnings
+    warnings.warn(
+        f"transformers {transformers.__version__} does not support Qwen3 models. "
+        f"Upgrade to >= 4.51.0 for Qwen3 support."
+    )
+```
+
+## 适配优先级
+
+建议按以下优先级进行适配：
+
+1. **P0 - models/__init__.py**: 添加 try-except 使 Llama 模型可独立使用
+2. **P1 - qwen3.py**: 添加清晰的错误信息，说明版本要求
+3. **P2 - 类型注解**: 可选地改为 `Any` 或使用 `TYPE_CHECKING`
+4. **P3 - 文档**: 在 README 和 pyproject.toml 中说明版本依赖
+
+## 测试验证
+
+适配后应验证以下场景：
+
+### 测试 1: 低版本环境（transformers 4.45.2）
+
+```bash
+# 预期结果：Llama 模型可用，Qwen3 提示版本不足
+docker run --rm \
+    -v /path/to/nano-vllm:/workspace/nano-vllm \
+    -e PYTHONPATH=/workspace/nano-vllm \
+    tzj/ruler:v0.3 \
+    python -c "
+from nanovllm.models import get_model_class, MODEL_REGISTRY
+print('Available models:', list(MODEL_REGISTRY.keys()))
+# Expected: ['LlamaForCausalLM']
+# Warning: Qwen3 models require transformers >= 4.51.0
+"
+```
+
+### 测试 2: 高版本环境（transformers >= 4.51.0）
+
+```bash
+# 预期结果：Llama 和 Qwen3 模型均可用
+pip install 'transformers>=4.51.0'
+python -c "
+from nanovllm.models import get_model_class, MODEL_REGISTRY
+print('Available models:', list(MODEL_REGISTRY.keys()))
+# Expected: ['LlamaForCausalLM', 'Qwen3ForCausalLM', 'Qwen2ForCausalLM']
+"
+```

-## 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**
-

-
-## 块选择算法 (find_blocks_chunked)
-
-**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)

-## 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

+# COMPASS XAttention Implementation Analysis
+
+**Analysis Date**: 2026-01-14
+**Researcher**: Claude Code Agent
+**Source**: `/home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/compass/src/`
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+COMPASS XAttention is a **block sparse attention** implementation that uses:
+1. **Approximation phase** (`xattn_estimate`) to compute attention importance and select blocks
+2. **Computation phase** (`Xattention_prefill`) to compute sparse attention using `block_sparse_attn_func`
+3. **Triton kernels** for efficient block-wise GEMM and softmax operations
+
+**Key Integration Constraint**: Requires `block_sparse_attn_func` from flash-attention library, which is a **C++ CUDA extension** that must be compiled separately.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Function: `xattn_estimate()`
+
+**Purpose**: Estimate attention importance and select which blocks to compute
+
+### Input Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `query_states` | Tensor | - | Shape: `(batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)` |
+| `key_states` | Tensor | - | Shape: `(batch, num_kv_heads, k_len, head_dim)` |
+| `block_size` | int | - | Size of attention blocks (typically 128) |
+| `stride` | int | - | Downsampling stride for approximation |
+| `norm` | float | 1 | Normalization factor for attention scaling |
+| `softmax` | bool | True | Whether to apply softmax in estimation |
+| `threshold` | float | 0.9 | Block selection threshold (0-1) |
+| `chunk_size` | int | 16384 | Processing chunk size |
+| `select_mode` | str | "inverse" | Pattern selection mode |
+| `use_triton` | bool | True | Use Triton kernels (requires SM 80+) |

+
+### Output
+
+```python
+returns: (attn_sums, simple_masks)
+  attn_sums: Tensor[float32]
+    Shape: (batch, num_heads, num_q_blocks, num_k_blocks_per_chunk)
+    Contains aggregated attention weights per block
+
+  simple_masks: Tensor[bool]
+    Shape: (batch, num_heads, num_q_blocks, num_k_blocks)
+    Boolean mask indicating which blocks to compute
+```
+
+### Algorithm
+
+#### Step 1: Padding and Chunking
+```python
+# Pad sequences to chunk_size boundaries
+k_num_to_pad = ((k_len + chunk_size - 1) // chunk_size) * chunk_size - k_len
+q_num_to_pad = ((q_len + chunk_size - 1) // chunk_size) * chunk_size - q_len
+
+# Compute number of blocks and chunks
+k_chunk_num = (k_len + k_num_to_pad) // chunk_size
+k_block_num = (k_len + k_num_to_pad) // block_size
+q_chunk_num = (q_len + q_num_to_pad) // chunk_size
+q_block_num = (q_len + q_num_to_pad) // block_size
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Pattern Selection (stride-based downsampling)
+
+**Purpose**: Reduce computation by `stride` factor using patterned selection
+
+**Modes**:
+1. **`"inverse"`** (default): Inverse stride pattern
+   ```python
+   # Key: regular stride [0, stride, 2*stride, ...]
+   # Query: reverse stride [(stride-1), (stride-1-stride), ...]
+   reshaped_key = torch.cat([key_states[:, :, k::stride, :] for k in range(stride)])
+   reshaped_query = torch.cat([query_states[:, :, (stride-1-q)::stride*kdb, :] for q in range(stride)])
+   ```
+
+2. **`"slash"`**: Slash pattern (diagonal)
+   ```python
+   # Both use regular stride
+   reshaped_key = torch.cat([key_states[:, :, k::stride, :] for k in range(stride)])
+   reshaped_query = torch.cat([query_states[:, :, q::stride, :] for q in range(stride)])
+   ```
+
+3. **`"random"`**: Random permutation
+4. **`"double"`, `"triple"`**: Data augmentation modes
+
+#### Step 3: Chunk-wise Attention Estimation
+
+For each query chunk:
+
+**If `use_triton=True`** (fast path):
+```python
+# Triton kernel 1: Compute attention scores with fused reshape
+attn_weights_slice = flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(
+    query_chunk, key_states, stride,
+    chunk_start, chunk_end, is_causal=causal
+)
+
+# Triton kernel 2: Softmax + block aggregation
+attn_sum = softmax_fuse_block_sum(
+    attn_weights_slice, reshaped_block_size, segment_size,
+    chunk_start, chunk_end, real_q_len, scale, is_causal
+)
+```
+
+**If `use_triton=False`** (PyTorch fallback):
+```python
+# Standard matrix multiplication
+attn_weights_slice = torch.matmul(chunked_query, reshaped_key.transpose(2, 3))
+
+# Scale and apply causal mask
+attn_weights_slice = attn_weights_slice / sqrt(head_dim) / stride / norm
+attn_weights_slice = attn_weights_slice + causal_mask
+
+# Softmax
+attn_weights_slice = F.softmax(attn_weights_slice, dim=-1)
+
+# Aggregate to block level
+attn_sum = attn_weights_slice.view(
+    batch, heads, num_blocks_per_chunk, block_size//kdb, -1, block_size
+).sum(dim=-1).sum(dim=-2)
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Block Selection
+
+```python
+# Select blocks based on threshold
+simple_mask = find_blocks_chunked(
+    attn_sum,
+    current_index,  # Starting block index
+    threshold,      # 0.9 = select blocks covering 90% of attention mass
+    None,           # or num_to_choose for top-k selection
+    decoding=False,
+    mode="prefill",
+    causal=True
+)
+```
+
+**Selection Algorithm** (`find_blocks_chunked`):
+1. Sort blocks by attention weight (descending)
+2. Compute cumulative sum
+3. Select blocks until `cumulative_sum >= total_sum * threshold`
+4. Enforce causal constraints (no future blocks)
+5. Always include sink token (first block) if `keep_sink=True`
+6. Always include diagonal blocks if `keep_recent=True`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Function: `Xattention_prefill()`
+
+**Purpose**: Compute sparse attention using estimated block mask
+

+```python
+returns: attn_output
+  attn_output: Tensor
+    Shape: (batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
+    Sparse attention output
+```
+
+### Algorithm Flow
+
+#### Step 1: Auto-compute chunk_size
+```python
+if chunk_size is None:
+    chunk_size = int(max(
+        min(
+            max(2048, 1 << (k_len - 1).bit_length()),  # Round to power of 2
+            128 * 1024 * 2048 // (1 << (k_len - 1).bit_length()),  # Memory constraint
+        ),
+        2048,  # Minimum
+    ))
+```
+
+**Example**:
+- `k_len=8192` → `chunk_size=8192`
+- `k_len=32768` → `chunk_size=16384`
+- `k_len=65536` → `chunk_size=16384`
+
+#### Step 2: Estimate attention and select blocks
+```python
+attn_sums, approx_simple_mask = xattn_estimate(
+    query_states, key_states,
+    block_size=block_size, stride=stride, norm=norm,
+    threshold=threshold, select_mode="inverse",
+    use_triton=use_triton, causal=causal,
+    chunk_size=chunk_size, kdb=kdb,
+    keep_sink=keep_sink, keep_recent=keep_recent
+)
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Prepare inputs for block_sparse_attn_func
+```python
+# Hard constraints
+assert block_size == 128
+assert batch_size == 1
+
+# Reshape to (seq_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+query_states = query_states.transpose(1, 2).view(q_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+key_states = key_states.transpose(1, 2).view(k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+value_states = value_states.transpose(1, 2).view(k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+
+# Cumulative sequence lengths
+q_cu_seq_lens = torch.tensor([0, q_len], dtype=torch.int32, device=device)
+k_cu_seq_lens = torch.tensor([0, k_len], dtype=torch.int32, device=device)
+
+# Head mask type (all heads use mask)
+head_mask_type = torch.tensor([1 for _ in range(num_heads)], dtype=torch.int32)
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Call block_sparse_attn_func
+```python
+attn_output = block_sparse_attn_func(
+    query_states,      # (q_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+    key_states,        # (k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+    value_states,      # (k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
+    q_cu_seq_lens,     # [0, q_len]
+    k_cu_seq_lens,     # [0, k_len]
+    head_mask_type,    # [1, 1, ..., 1]
+    None,              # No custom layout
+    approx_simple_mask[:, :, :q_block_num, :k_block_num].contiguous(),  # Block mask
+    q_len,
+    k_len,
+    p_dropout=0.0,
+    deterministic=True,
+    is_causal=causal
+)
+```
+
+#### Step 5: Reshape output
+```python
+attn_output = attn_output.view(batch_size, q_len, num_heads, head_dim).transpose(1, 2)
+# Output shape: (batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
+```

+## 3. Triton Kernel Dependencies
+
+### Kernel 1: `flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape_kernel`
+
+**Purpose**: Compute QK^T with stride-based reshaping
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Loads `stride` keys and queries at once
+- Fused strided access pattern
+- Causal masking support
+- Block size auto-selection based on GPU memory
+
+**Block Size Selection**:
+```python
+# RTX 3090 (<30GB): BLOCK_M=64, BLOCK_N=64
+# A100/H100 (>=30GB): BLOCK_M=128, BLOCK_N=128
+```
+
+**Signature**:
+```python
+flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(
+    query_states,  # (batch, heads, q_len, head_dim)
+    key_states,    # (batch, heads, k_len, head_dim)
+    stride,        # Downsampling factor
+    chunk_start,   # Start position in keys
+    chunk_end,     # End position in keys
+    is_causal=True
+)
+# Returns: (batch, heads, q_len//stride, k_len//stride)
+```
+
+### Kernel 2: `softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel_causal` / `_non_causal`
+
+**Purpose**: Online softmax with block aggregation
+
+**Algorithm**:
+1. **Forward pass** (compute m_i, l_i):
+   ```
+   m_i = max(m_i, m_local)
+   alpha = exp(m_i - m_new)
+   l_i = l_i * alpha + sum(exp(X - m_new))
+   ```
+2. **Backward pass** (compute softmax with scaling):
+   ```
+   softmax = exp(X - m_i) / l_i
+   aggregate to blocks: sum(softmax) over block_size
+   ```
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Single-pass softmax (no materializing full attention matrix)
+- Causal masking integrated
+- Outputs block-level sums directly
+
+**Signature**:
+```python
+softmax_fuse_block_sum(
+    attn_weights_slice,  # (batch, heads, q_len, k_len)
+    reshaped_block_size, # Block size (128//stride)
+    segment_size,        # Processing segment (min(4096, block_size))
+    chunk_start,         # Start position
+    chunk_end,           # End position
+    real_q_len,          # Actual query length (before padding)
+    scale,               # 1.4426950408889634 / sqrt(head_dim) / stride / norm
+    is_causal=True
+)
+# Returns: (batch, heads, q_len//block_size, k_len//block_size)
+```

+
+## 4. Key Parameters and Their Meanings
+
+### Critical Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Meaning | Typical Value | Impact |
+|-----------|---------|---------------|--------|
+| `block_size` | Block granularity | 128 | **Fixed at 128**, affects mask granularity |
+| `stride` | Downsampling factor | 4-16 | Higher = faster but less accurate |
+| `threshold` | Sparsity level | 0.8-0.9 | Higher = denser mask, more computation |
+| `chunk_size` | Processing chunk | 16384 | Affects memory and efficiency |
+| `kdb` | Key downsampling boost | 1 | Experimental, use 1 |
+| `norm` | Scaling factor | 1.0 | Attention temperature control |
+
+### Trade-offs
+
+**Stride (`stride`)**:
+- `stride=1`: No approximation, same as dense attention
+- `stride=4`: 4x faster estimation, good accuracy
+- `stride=8`: 8x faster, moderate accuracy loss
+- `stride=16`: 16x faster, significant accuracy loss
+
+**Threshold (`threshold`)**:
+- `threshold=0.8`: Select blocks covering 80% of attention mass (~20% sparsity)
+- `threshold=0.9`: Select blocks covering 90% of attention mass (~10% sparsity)
+- `threshold=0.95`: Very dense, only prunes ~5% of blocks

+   - Type: **C++ CUDA extension**
+   - Build: Requires compilation with `torch.utils.cpp_extension`
+
+2. **Triton** (optional but recommended)
+   - Required for: `use_triton=True`
+   - GPU requirement: SM 80+ (A100, RTX 3090, H100, etc.)
+   - Check: `torch.cuda.get_device_properties().major >= 8`

+
+## 6. Integration Issues for nano-vllm
+
+### Critical Issue 1: `block_sparse_attn_func` Dependency
+
+**Problem**: `block_sparse_attn_func` is a **C++ CUDA extension** that must be compiled from flash-attention source.
+
+**Options**:
+1. **Compile flash-attention with block sparse support**
+   ```bash
+   cd /home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/3rdparty/flash-attention
+   python setup.py install
+   ```
+   - Risk: May conflict with existing flash-attention installation
+   - Complexity: High (C++ compilation)
+
+2. **Replace with FlashInfer block sparse**
+   - FlashInfer is already a dependency
+   - Has similar block sparse attention
+   - Need to adapt interface
+
+3. **Custom CUDA kernel**
+   - Implement simplified block sparse attention
+   - High development cost
+   - Maintenance burden
+
+### Critical Issue 2: Hard-coded Constraints
+
+```python
+assert block_size == 128  # Line 358
+assert batch_size == 1    # Line 359
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Cannot process multiple sequences in one batch
+- Fixed block size limits flexibility
+- Must work around these constraints
+
+### Critical Issue 3: Triton GPU Requirement
+
+```python
+props = torch.cuda.get_device_properties(torch.cuda.current_device())
+if props.major < 8:
+    use_triton = False
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Triton kernels only work on SM 80+ (A100, RTX 3090, H100)
+- Older GPUs (V100, T4, RTX 2080) fall back to slow PyTorch implementation
+- RTX 3090 works but uses smaller block sizes (64 vs 128)
+
+### Issue 4: Memory Layout
+
+**XAttention expects**:
+```python
+query_states: (batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
+```
+
+**nano-vllm uses**:
+```python
+query_states: (num_heads, total_tokens, head_dim)  # Flattened batch
+```
+
+**Required**: Transpose and reshape before/after calling XAttention
+
+### Issue 5: Chunking Incompatibility
+
+**XAttention**: Processes in fixed-size chunks (e.g., 16384 tokens)
+- Requires padding to chunk boundaries
+- Adds overhead for short sequences
+
+**nano-vllm**: Processes variable-length requests
+- No padding requirement
+- Dynamic batch sizing
+
+---
+
+## 7. Integration Strategy
+
+### Recommended Approach: **Wrapper with FlashInfer**
+
+1. **Keep `xattn_estimate`** (pure PyTorch + Triton)
+   - No external dependencies
+   - Computes block mask
+
+2. **Replace `block_sparse_attn_func` with FlashInfer**
+   - FlashInfer: `flashinfer.single_prefill_with_kv_cache`
+   - Similar API, already compiled
+   - Supports block sparse
+
+3. **Adapt mask format**
+   - XAttention: `(batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks)` boolean mask
+   - FlashInfer: `(num_qo, num_kv)` boolean mask or custom format
+
+4. **Handle constraints**
+   - Enforce `batch_size=1` by processing one request at a time
+   - Keep `block_size=128` as requirement
+
+### Alternative: **Pure PyTorch Implementation**
+
+1. Extract estimation algorithm
+2. Implement sparse attention using PyTorch operations
+3. Use FlashInfer for final computation
+4. No Triton dependency
+
+---
+
+## 8. Code Example: Adaptation
+
+```python
+def xattention_prefill_adapted(
+    query_states,  # (num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
+    key_states,    # (num_heads, k_len, head_dim)
+    value_states,  # (num_heads, k_len, head_dim)
+    stride=4,
+    threshold=0.9,
+    block_size=128,
+    causal=True,
+):
+    # Step 1: Add batch dimension
+    q = query_states.unsqueeze(0)  # (1, heads, q_len, dim)
+    k = key_states.unsqueeze(0)
+    v = value_states.unsqueeze(0)
+
+    # Step 2: Estimate mask (no external dependency)
+    _, block_mask = xattn_estimate(
+        q, k,
+        block_size=block_size,
+        stride=stride,
+        threshold=threshold,
+        use_triton=True,
+        causal=causal,
+    )
+    # block_mask: (1, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks)
+
+    # Step 3: Convert block mask to token mask
+    q_blocks, k_blocks = block_mask.shape[-2:]
+    token_mask = block_mask.repeat_interleave(block_size, dim=-2)
+    token_mask = token_mask.repeat_interleave(block_size, dim=-1)
+    token_mask = token_mask[:, :, :q.size(2), :k.size(2)]  # Trim padding
+
+    # Step 4: Use FlashInfer with mask
+    from flashinfer import single_prefill_with_kv_cache
+    output = single_prefill_with_kv_cache(
+        q.squeeze(0),
+        k.squeeze(0),
+        v.squeeze(0),
+        custom_mask=token_mask.squeeze(0),
+    )
+
+    return output  # (num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Summary of Findings
+
+### Advantages
+
+1. **Accurate approximation**: Pattern-based stride selection preserves attention patterns
+2. **Flexible sparsity**: Threshold-based control over computation
+3. **GPU optimization**: Triton kernels for estimation phase
+4. **Proven in practice**: Used in COMPASS system
+
+### Challenges
+
+1. **Hard dependency**: `block_sparse_attn_func` requires C++ compilation
+2. **Rigid constraints**: `block_size=128`, `batch_size=1`
+3. **GPU-specific**: Triton only on SM 80+
+4. **Memory layout mismatch**: Requires reshape/transpose
+5. **Chunking overhead**: Padding to chunk boundaries
+
+### Integration Complexity
+
+| Component | Complexity | Risk |
+|-----------|------------|------|
+| `xattn_estimate` | Medium | Low (PyTorch + Triton) |
+| `block_sparse_attn_func` | High | **Critical** (C++ dependency) |
+| Interface adaptation | Low | Low (reshape) |
+| Constraint handling | Medium | Medium (workarounds) |
+
+**Overall Integration Risk**: **HIGH** (due to C++ dependency)
+
+---
+
+## 10. Next Steps
+
+1. **Evaluate FlashInfer compatibility**
+   - Can FlashInfer replace `block_sparse_attn_func`?
+   - What mask format does it expect?
+
+2. **Prototype estimation phase**
+   - Extract `xattn_estimate` function
+   - Test with nano-vllm inputs
+   - Validate mask quality
+
+3. **Benchmark Triton kernels**
+   - Compare Triton vs PyTorch estimation
+   - Measure speedup on RTX 3090
+   - Profile memory usage
+
+4. **Design interface**
+   - Define nano-vllm sparse attention API
+   - Specify mask format
+   - Plan integration points

-## 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)

+## 1. 背景
+
+### 1.1 为什么需要 XAttention
+
+- **长上下文推理需求**：随着 LLM 上下文长度扩展到 32k、64k 甚至更长，传统注意力机制的计算复杂度 O(n²) 成为瓶颈
+- **COMPASS 算法**：通过 chunked estimation 和 block sparse attention 实现 O(n) 复杂度
+- **nano-vllm 集成目标**：在 CPU offload 模式下支持高效的长上下文推理
+
+### 1.2 集成范围
+
+**仅关注 offload 执行路径**：
+- `run_layerwise_offload_prefill()` - layer-wise chunked prefill
+- CPU offload 模式下的 KV cache 管理
+- 与 `SparsePolicy` 框架的集成
+
+### 1.3 参考
+
+- COMPASS 源码：`/home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/compass/src/`
+- 关键文件：`Xattention.py`, `kernels.py`, `utils.py`

+### 2.2 关键参数
+
+| 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| `stride` | 8 | Q/K 重组步长 |
+| `block_size` | 128 | Block 大小（tokens） |
+| `threshold` | 0.9 | Block 选择阈值 (0-1) |
+| `chunk_size` | 16384 | Estimation chunk 大小 |
+
+### 2.3 计算流程
+
+1. **Chunked Estimation**：
+   - 将 Q 分成固定大小的 chunks
+   - 使用 Triton kernels 计算 QK^T（fused GEMM + reshape）
+   - 分块 softmax 并聚合到 block 级别
+   - 根据阈值选择重要 blocks
+
+2. **Block Sparse Attention**：
+   - 只计算选中 blocks 的注意力
+   - 使用 block sparse kernels 优化

+        # 只保留下三角区域
+        ...
+
+    return masks
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. 集成设计决策
+
+### 4.1 稀疏策略框架
+
+nano-vllm 使用 `SparsePolicy` 抽象接口：
+
+```python
+class SparsePolicy(ABC):
+    """稀疏注意力策略基类"""
+
+    @property
+    def supports_prefill(self) -> bool:
+        """是否支持 prefill 阶段"""
+        ...
+
+    @property
+    def supports_decode(self) -> bool:
+        """是否支持 decode 阶段"""
+        ...
+
+    @property
+    def requires_block_selection(self) -> bool:
+        """是否需要 block selection（用于 KV cache 加载）"""
+        ...
+
+    @abstractmethod
+    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, ctx) -> List[int]:
+        """选择要加载的 KV blocks"""
+        ...
+
+    @abstractmethod
+    def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id) -> torch.Tensor:
+        """计算稀疏 prefill 注意力"""
+        ...
+```
+
+### 4.2 XAttention 设计决策
+
+#### 决策 1：Prefill-Only 策略
+
+```python
+class XAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = False  # XAttention 仅用于 prefill
+    requires_block_selection = False  # 不影响 KV cache 加载
+```
+
+**原因**：
+- XAttention 是 prefill 阶段的优化算法
+- Decode 阶段使用其他策略（如 QUEST）
+- Block selection 不在 XAttention 范围内
+
+#### 决策 2：CPU Offload 模式简化
+
+```python
+def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id):
+    # 使用 FlashAttention 直接计算
+    from flash_attn.flash_attn_interface import flash_attn_varlen_func
+
+    attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
+        q, k, v,
+        cu_seqlens_q=cu_seqlens,
+        cu_seqlens_k=cu_seqlens,
+        max_seqlen_q=seq_len,
+        max_seqlen_k=seq_len,
+        softmax_scale=1.0 / math.sqrt(head_dim),
+        causal=True,
+    )
+    return attn_output
+```
+
+**关键原因**：
+
+1. **Chunked Prefill 架构限制**：
+   ```
+   Offload 模式: run_layerwise_offload_prefill()
+   └─ 每次只处理一个 chunk (2048 tokens)
+   └─ 完整的 key_states 在 CPU，不在当前调用栈
+   └─ 无法进行完整的 chunked estimation
+   ```
+
+2. **Estimation 需要完整上下文**：
+   - XAttention 的 estimation 需要访问完整 key_states
+   - Offload 模式下 keys 分层存储在 CPU
+   - 传递所有 keys 会破坏 offload 的内存优势
+
+3. **FlashAttention 原生支持 GQA**：
+   - GQA (Grouped Query Attention): num_kv_heads < num_heads
+   - FlashAttention 自动处理 head 展开
+   - 避免手动实现的复杂性
+
+#### 决策 3：保留 Triton Kernels
+
+虽然 CPU offload 模式使用 FlashAttention，但仍保留 Triton kernels：
+
+```python
+# nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/kernels.py
+# 保留完整的 Triton 实现，供未来 GPU-only 模式使用
+
+def softmax_fuse_block_sum(attn_weights_slice, ...):
+    """Triton softmax + block sum wrapper"""
+    ...
+
+def flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(query_states, key_states, ...):
+    """Triton GEMM + reshape wrapper"""
+    ...
+```
+
+**原因**：
+- 未来可以支持 GPU-only 模式的完整 XAttention
+- Triton kernels 已实现，无需删除
+- 保持代码完整性

+

+
+## 6. 问题与解决方案
+
+### 6.1 问题 1: Abstract Method Not Implemented
+
+**错误**：
+```python
+TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class XAttentionPolicy
+with abstract method select_blocks
+```
+
+**原因**：
+- `SparsePolicy` 是抽象基类，要求子类实现 `select_blocks()`
+- XAttention 是 prefill-only 策略，不需要 block selection
+
+**解决**：
+```python
+def select_blocks(self, available_blocks: List[int], ctx: PolicyContext) -> List[int]:
+    """
+    Select blocks for decode phase.
+
+    XAttention is prefill-only, so this method is only used as a fallback.
+    Returns all available blocks by default.
+    """
+    # Since requires_block_selection=False, this won't be called for loading
+    return available_blocks
+```
+
+### 6.2 问题 2: CUDA OOM During Estimation
+
+**错误**：
+```
+CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 1013.92 GiB
+```
+
+**原因**：
+- `_xattn_estimate()` 使用 `q_len` 计算 `k_block_num`
+- 但在 chunked prefill 中，`q_len` 是当前 chunk 大小（2048）
+- 而不是完整上下文长度（32768）
+- 导致 padding 计算错误
+
+**原始代码问题**：
+```python
+batch_size, num_heads, k_len, head_dim = key_states.shape
+batch_size, num_heads, q_len, head_dim = query_states.shape
+
+# 错误：使用 q_len 计算 k_block_num
+k_block_num = (k_len + k_num_to_pad) // block_size  # 应该用完整 k_len
+```
+
+**解决**：
+简化实现，直接使用 FlashAttention：
+```python
+def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id):
+    # 使用 FlashAttention 直接计算
+    # 不进行 chunked estimation（与 offload 架构不兼容）
+    from flash_attn.flash_attn_interface import flash_attn_varlen_func
+    ...
+```
+
+### 6.3 问题 3: GQA Head Count Mismatch
+
+**错误**：
+```
+ValueError: Number of heads in key/value must divide number of heads in query
+```
+
+**原因**：
+- Llama-3.1-8B 使用 GQA：num_heads=32, num_kv_heads=8
+- 原始 XAttention 代码手动展开 KV heads：
+```python
+# 错误方式
+if num_kv_heads != num_heads:
+    key_states = key_states.repeat_interleave(num_heads // num_kv_heads, dim=1)
+```
+
+**解决**：
+依赖 FlashAttention 的原生 GQA 支持：
+```python
+# FlashAttention 自动处理 GQA，无需手动展开
+attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
+    q, k, v,  # k, v 可以有更少的 heads
+    ...
+)
+```
+
+### 6.4 Bug Fix: kernels.py Line 106
+
+**原始代码**：
+```python
+for iter in range(num_iters_before_causal + 1, num_iters):
+    X = torch.zeros([segment_size // block_size], dtype=torch.float32)  # 错误
+```
+
+**修复**：
+```python
+for iter in range(num_iters_before_causal + 1, num_iters):
+    X = tl.zeros([segment_size // block_size], dtype=torch.float32)  # 正确
+```
+
+**原因**：
+- Triton JIT kernel 中必须使用 `tl.zeros` 而不是 `torch.zeros`

-# 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

-
-## 核心算法
-
-### 1. select_blocks: 块选择算法
-
-```python
-def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx) -> List[int]:
-```
-
-#### Step 1: 加载 K blocks 并计算 attention scores
-
-对每个 CPU block，加载 K 到 GPU 并使用 `flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape` 计算：
-
-```python
-for cpu_block_id in available_blocks:
-    # 加载 K block: [1, block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim]
-    offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
-    k_block, _ = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
-
-    # 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

-    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 |
-| 小幅内存增长 | 🟢 可接受 | ~4GB，可能来自 Triton 缓存 |

-# 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。

-
-## 关键发现
-
-### 1. Context Length 影响最大
-
-Density 随 context length 显著下降（threshold=0.9, stride=8）：
-- 4K: 52.9% density
-- 8K: 52.5% density
-- 16K: 47.8% density
-- 32K: 40.1% density
-
-**结论**: 长序列有更多稀疏化机会，XAttention 的优势在长序列上更明显。
-
-### 2. Threshold 影响显著
-
-threshold=0.9 比 0.95 的 density 低约 12-14%：
-- 0.9 更激进，选择更少的 blocks
-- 0.95 更保守，保留更多 blocks
-- 两者准确性都不受影响（RULER NIAH 全部 PASS）
-
-### 3. Stride 影响较小
-
-同一 context 下，不同 stride 的 density 差异约 2-5%：
-- stride 越大 → density 略高（采样越粗糙，选择更保守）
-- stride=4 最激进，stride=16 最保守
-
-### 4. Min Density 集中在中间层
-
-- 大多数情况下 min density 出现在 Layer 5
-- 中间层的稀疏性最高，首尾层相对密集
-- 这符合 Transformer 注意力模式的一般规律
-
-### 5. 最佳稀疏化配置
-
-32K + stride=4 + threshold=0.9 达到最低 density：
-- Overall: **37.0%** (节省 63% 计算)
-- Min: **18.0%** (Layer 5)
-
-### 6. 准确性稳定
-
-所有配置下 RULER NIAH 测试都 PASS (score=1.0)，说明：
-- threshold=0.9 和 0.95 都足够保守，不损失准确性
-- 不同 stride 不影响最终结果
-
-## 推荐配置
-
-| 场景 | threshold | stride | 说明 |
-|------|-----------|--------|------|
-| 精度优先 | 0.95 | 8 | 保守配置，density ~52-67% |
-| 平衡 | 0.9 | 8 | 默认配置，density ~40-53% |
-| 性能优先 | 0.9 | 4 | 激进配置，density ~37-52% |

-# XAttention Density Types: Compute vs Communication
-
-XAttention BSA 统计两种不同粒度的 density，它们反映不同的优化效果。
-
-## 两种 Density 的定义
-
-### 1. Compute Density（计算密度）
-
-**粒度**: BSA block (128 tokens)
-
-**公式**:
-```
-compute_density = selected_bsa_blocks / total_causal_bsa_blocks
-```
-
-**含义**: 实际需要计算 attention 的 blocks 占 causal 区域的比例。
-
-**影响**: 决定 attention 计算量的减少。
-
-### 2. Communication Density（通信密度）
-
-**粒度**: CPU block (4096 tokens = 32 BSA blocks)
-
-**公式**:
-```
-comm_density = selected_cpu_blocks / total_cpu_blocks
-```
-
-**含义**: 需要从 CPU 传输到 GPU 的 blocks 占总 blocks 的比例。
-
-**影响**: 决定 H2D 传输量的减少。
-
-## 为什么 Comm Density 通常高于 Compute Density
-
-### 聚合效应
-
-由于 CPU block 粒度是 BSA block 的 32 倍，CPU block 选择使用 `any()` 聚合：
-
-```python
-# BSA mask: [B, H, Q_bsa, K_bsa]
-# Reshape to CPU block level
-mask_per_cpu = mask.view(B, H, Q_bsa, num_cpu_blocks, bsa_per_cpu)
-# Any BSA block selected -> whole CPU block needed
-cpu_needed = mask_per_cpu.any(dim=-1).any(dim=2).any(dim=1)
-```
-
-只要 CPU block 中**任意一个**:
-- Head 选择了该 block，或
-- Q position 选择了该 block，或
-- BSA sub-block 被选中
-
-则整个 CPU block 都需要传输。
-
-### 示例
-
-| 场景 | Compute Density | Comm Density | 说明 |
-|------|-----------------|--------------|------|
-| 64K context, threshold=0.9 | 37% | 100% | 稀疏 blocks 均匀分布在所有 CPU blocks |
-| 32K context, threshold=0.9 | 50% | 100% | 同上 |
-
-## 测试结果
-
-### 测试命令
-
-```bash
-# Offload 模式测试
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
-    --data-dir tests/data/ruler_64k \

-    --max-model-len 72000 \
-    --enable-offload \
-    --sparse-policy XATTN_BSA \
-    --sparse-threshold 0.9
-```
-
-### 输出示例
-
-```
-[DensityObserver] Mode: offload
-  Compute density: 0.3691 (min: 0.3691 @ layer 0)
-  Comm density:    1.0000 (CPU block granularity)
-  Savings ratio:   0.0% H2D transfer reduction
-  Num layers: 1
-  Layer 0 density: 0.369052
-```
-
-## 关键发现
-
-### 当前 XAttention 的通信优化局限
-
-1. **Compute density 有效降低**: ~37% @ 64K context（计算量减少 63%）
-2. **Comm density 没有降低**: 100%（通信量没有减少）
-
-### 原因分析
-
-Attention pattern 的特点：
-- 不同 heads 关注不同位置
-- 不同 Q positions 关注不同 K positions
-- 稀疏选择分布在整个 sequence 上
-
-这导致虽然每个 (head, Q, K) 组合只选择少量 blocks，但聚合后覆盖了所有 CPU blocks。
-
-### 潜在优化方向
-
-1. **Per-head block selection**: 每个 head 独立选择 CPU blocks
-2. **Block clustering**: 将相关 blocks 聚合到同一 CPU block
-3. **Dynamic block size**: 根据 attention pattern 动态调整 CPU block 大小
-
-## DensityObserver API

-from nanovllm.utils.density_observer import DensityObserver
-
-DensityObserver.enable()
-DensityObserver.complete_reset()

-
-### 记录

-DensityObserver.record(layer_id, mask, causal=True)
-
-# Comm density (Offload 模式在 select_blocks 中记录)

-# 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
-
-# Step 1: flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape
-# 输入: Q [1,1,512,128], K [1,1,2048,128]
-# 输出: attn_scores [1,1,128,512]
-
-# Step 2: softmax_fuse_block_sum
-# 输入: attn_scores [1,1,128,512]
-# 输出: block_sums [1,1,1,4]
-#       q_blocks = 128/128 = 1
-#       k_blocks = 512/128 = 4
-```

-# XAttention KV Chunking Density 验证测试
-
-## 背景
-
-验证 XAttention Triton kernel 是否只能沿 Q 轴分 chunk，不能沿 KV 轴分 chunk。
-
-**假设**：`softmax_fuse_block_sum` 需要完整的 K 来计算正确的归一化分母，分 chunk 后的 attention 分布与完整序列不同。
-
-## 测试方法
-
-1. **GPU-only 模式**：一次性对完整序列调用 `xattn_estimate`，记录 Layer 0 的 density
-2. **Offload DEBUG 模式**：分 chunk 调用 `xattn_estimate`，累积 selected/total counts，计算最终 density
-3. 使用相同的 `_debug_k_full` buffer 收集完整 K cache，确保输入数据一致
-
-### 关键代码逻辑
-
-```python
-# Offload DEBUG: 每个 chunk 累积 selected/total
-for each chunk:
-    K_full = _debug_k_full[:, :, :total_k_len, :]  # 累积的 K
-    _, mask_chunk = xattn_estimate(Q_chunk, K_full, threshold=threshold, causal=True)
-
-    # 裁剪到有效区域，计算正确的 causal mask (考虑 Q 偏移量)
-    q_offset_blocks = k_blocks - q_blocks
-    causal_mask = indices <= (q_indices + q_offset_blocks)
-
-    selected += (mask_valid & causal_mask).sum()
-    total += causal_mask.sum()
-
-density = selected / total
-```

-| 64K | 1.00 | 0.9995 | 0.9995 | ~0% |
-
-## 结论
-
-### 1. Softmax 归一化本身是正确的
-
-当 `threshold=1.0`（选择所有 blocks）时，GPU-only 和 Offload 模式的 density 几乎完全对齐（差异 < 0.01%）。
-
-这说明：
-- `_debug_k_full` 正确收集了完整的 K cache
-- 分 chunk 调用 `xattn_estimate` 时，softmax 归一化在正确的 K 序列上计算
-- causal mask 的 Q 偏移量处理正确
-
-### 2. 问题在于 threshold 的应用方式
-
-当 `threshold < 1.0` 时，差异显著（10-13%）：
-
-- **GPU-only**：对完整序列一次性应用 threshold，选择 cumulative attention >= threshold 的 blocks
-- **Offload**：每个 chunk 独立应用 threshold，累积 selected counts
-
-每个 chunk 独立应用 threshold 会导致：
-- 某些在 GPU-only 中被选中的 blocks，在分 chunk 时因 attention 分布不同而未被选中
-- 累积的 selected 比一次性计算的要少
-
-### 3. XAttention Triton kernel 的 KV chunking 限制
-
-**验证结论**：XAttention 的 `xattn_estimate` 可以正确处理 KV chunking（softmax 归一化正确），但 **threshold-based block selection 不能简单累积**。
-
-如果要在 Offload 模式下获得与 GPU-only 一致的 block selection：
-1. 需要先累积所有 chunks 的 attention scores
-2. 最后一次性应用 threshold 选择 blocks
-
-或者接受 10-13% 的 density 差异，这对实际推理准确性的影响需要进一步评估。
-

-# XAttention KV Chunking Kernels
-
-## 概述
-
-本文档描述了支持 KV 维度分 chunk 的 softmax kernels 实现。这些 kernels 允许在 CPU offload 场景下，沿 KV 维度分块计算 sparse attention estimation，而不需要在 GPU 上保存完整的 raw attention scores。
-
-## 背景
-
-原始的 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 需要完整的 K 序列来计算正确的 softmax 归一化分母：
-
-```
-softmax(x_i) = exp(x_i) / Σ_j exp(x_j)
-```
-
-如果只有部分 K (KV chunk)，分母 `Σ_j exp(x_j)` 不完整，导致归一化错误。
-
-## 解决方案：三阶段计算
-
-通过将 softmax 计算拆分为三个阶段，实现正确的 KV chunking：

-
-### 阶段 1: `softmax_compute_partial_stats`
-
-计算每个 KV chunk 的 partial statistics：
-- `m_partial`: 该 chunk 内的最大值 (per query row)
-- `l_partial`: 该 chunk 内的 partial sum = Σ exp(x - m_partial)
-
-```python
-m_partial, l_partial = softmax_compute_partial_stats(
-    attn_weights_kv,      # [batch, heads, q_len, k_chunk_len]
-    reshaped_block_size,
-    segment_size,
-    scale,
-    chunk_start=chunk_start,
-    kv_offset=kv_offset,  # KV chunk 在完整序列中的偏移
-    is_causal=True,
-)
-# 输出: m_partial, l_partial 形状为 [batch, heads, q_len]
-```
-
-### 阶段 2: `merge_softmax_stats`
-
-Host 端合并所有 KV chunks 的 statistics：
-
-```python
-m_global, l_global = merge_softmax_stats(m_chunks, l_chunks)
-```
-
-合并公式 (Online Softmax):
-```
-m_new = max(m_global, m_chunk)
-l_new = l_global * exp(m_global - m_new) + l_chunk * exp(m_chunk - m_new)
-```
-
-### 阶段 3: `softmax_normalize_and_block_sum`
-
-使用全局 statistics 归一化并计算 block sums：
-
-```python
-attn_sum_kv = softmax_normalize_and_block_sum(
-    attn_weights_kv,      # [batch, heads, q_len, k_chunk_len]
-    m_global,             # [batch, heads, q_len]
-    l_global,             # [batch, heads, q_len]
-    reshaped_block_size,
-    segment_size,
-    chunk_start=chunk_start,
-    real_q_len=real_q_len,
-    scale=scale,
-    kv_offset=kv_offset,
-    is_causal=True,
-)
-# 输出: [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_chunk_blocks]
-```
-
-## 数学等价性证明
-
-原始 softmax 计算 (完整 K):
-```
-softmax(x_i) = exp(x_i - m) / Σ_j exp(x_j - m)
-```
-
-分 KV chunk 计算:
-```
-Chunk 0: m_0 = max(x[0:N/2]), l_0 = Σ exp(x[0:N/2] - m_0)
-Chunk 1: m_1 = max(x[N/2:N]), l_1 = Σ exp(x[N/2:N] - m_1)
-
-合并:
-m_global = max(m_0, m_1)
-l_global = l_0 * exp(m_0 - m_global) + l_1 * exp(m_1 - m_global)
-         = Σ exp(x[0:N] - m_global)  # 等于全局 sum
-
-归一化:
-softmax(x_i) = exp(x_i - m_global) / l_global  # 正确!
-```
-
-## Causal Mask 处理
-
-两个 kernel 都正确处理了 causal attention：
-
-1. **`softmax_partial_stats_kernel`**: 通过 `kv_offset` 参数确定当前 KV chunk 在完整序列中的位置，正确计算 causal boundary
-
-2. **`softmax_normalize_block_sum_kernel`**: 同样使用 `kv_offset`，对 causal boundary 之后的位置输出 0
-
-## 存储开销分析
-
-### 符号定义
-
-| 符号 | 含义 | 典型值 |
-|------|------|--------|
-| S | seq_len | 64K |
-| B | batch_size | 1 |
-| H | num_heads | 32 |
-| D | head_dim | 128 |
-| T | stride | 4-8 |
-| C | chunk_size | 16K |
-| n | num_kv_chunks = ceil(S/C) | 4 |
-
-### 原始方式 (无 KV chunking)
-
-**attn_weights 峰值内存**:
-```
-[B, H, S/T, S/T] × 4 bytes = B × H × (S/T)² × 4
-
-例: S=64K, T=4, B=1, H=32
-= 1 × 32 × 16384² × 4 = 32 GB
-```
-
-### KV Chunking 方式的额外存储
-
-#### 1. Partial Stats (每个 KV chunk)
-
-```
-m_partial: [B, H, C/T] × 4 bytes
-l_partial: [B, H, C/T] × 4 bytes
-
-单个 chunk = 2 × B × H × (C/T) × 4
-           = 2 × 1 × 32 × 4096 × 4 = 1 MB
-```
-
-#### 2. Global Stats
-
-```
-m_global: [B, H, S/T] × 4 bytes
-l_global: [B, H, S/T] × 4 bytes
-
-= 2 × B × H × (S/T) × 4
-= 2 × 1 × 32 × 16384 × 4 = 4 MB
-```
-
-#### 3. 总额外开销
-
-```
-total_extra = n × partial_stats + global_stats
-            = 4 × 1MB + 4MB = 8 MB
-```
-
-### 存储开销随 seqlen 变化
-
-| seqlen | num_chunks | 原始 attn_weights | 额外 stats | 比例 |
-|--------|------------|-------------------|------------|------|
-| 16K | 1 | 2 GB | 2 MB | 0.1% |
-| 32K | 2 | 8 GB | 4 MB | 0.05% |
-| 64K | 4 | 32 GB | 8 MB | 0.025% |
-| 128K | 8 | 128 GB | 16 MB | 0.012% |
-
-### 复杂度分析
-
-| 存储组件 | 复杂度 | 说明 |
-|----------|--------|------|
-| 原始 attn_weights | O(S²) | 二次增长 |
-| Partial/Global stats | O(S) | 线性增长 |
-| **相对开销** | O(1/S) | **随 seqlen 递减** |
-
-### 峰值显存优化
-
-KV chunking 的主要收益是**峰值显存**从 O(S²) 降到 O(S×C)：
-
-```
-原始: O(B × H × (S/T)²)           # 完整 attn_weights
-KV chunking: O(B × H × (S/T) × (C/T))  # 一次只处理一个 chunk
-```
-
-以 S=128K, C=16K 为例：
-- 原始峰值: ~128 GB
-- KV chunking 峰值: ~16 GB (降低 **8 倍**)
-
-## 支持不同 Q/KV Chunk Size
-
-三阶段 pipeline 支持 Q 和 KV 使用不同的 chunk size：
-
-```python
-q_chunk_size = 8192   # Q 分块大小
-kv_chunk_size = 16384 # KV 分块大小
-
-for q_chunk_idx in range(q_chunk_num):
-    Q_chunk = Q[:, :, q_start:q_end, :]  # [B, H, q_chunk_size, D]
-
-    for kv_chunk_idx in range(kv_chunk_num):
-        K_chunk = K[:, :, kv_start:kv_end, :]  # [B, H, kv_chunk_size, D]
-        # ... 三阶段处理
-```
-
-### 测试验证结果

-## 性能瓶颈分析
-
-### 1. xattn_find_blocks 开销过高
-
-- 平均 4.51 ms per call
-- 占总时间 37.2%
-- 原因: threshold-based 块选择涉及排序和累积求和
-
-### 2. 两轮 estimate 开销
-
-- Pass1 + Pass2 共 1090 ms
-- 需要遍历所有 KV chunks 两次
-- 可优化方向: 单轮 estimate
-
-### 3. Compute 阶段相对高效
-
-- 只占 21.4%
-- 说明 BSA 稀疏计算本身效率不错
-
----
-
-## 优化建议
-
-### 短期
-
-1. **减少 find_blocks 开销**
-   - 使用 top-k 而不是 threshold
-   - 预分配 mask buffer 避免动态分配
-
-2. **合并 estimate 两轮**
-   - 在单轮中同时计算 stats 和 block sums
-
-### 中期
-
-1. **estimate 阶段使用更小的 block_size**
-   - 当前 block_size=4096 对 estimate 不友好
-   - 参考 `docs/estimate_block_size_performance.md`
-
-2. **Pipeline estimate 和 H2D**
-   - 将 estimate 与下一个 chunk 的 H2D 重叠
-
-### 长期
-
-1. **预测式块选择**
-   - 基于历史 pattern 预测下一个 chunk 的重要 blocks
-   - 减少 estimate 开销

-# XAttention Offload Stream Synchronization Fix
-
-修复 XAttention BSA Policy 在 Offload 模式下的 CUDA stream 同步 bug。
-
-**修复日期**: 2026-02-05
-**Commit**: `829b311`
-**影响文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py`, `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
-
----
-
-## 问题描述
-
-### 症状
-
-在 Offload 模式下运行 RULER benchmark 时，XAttention BSA 的 `select_blocks` 方法中 Pass 1 和 Pass 2 从**同一个 CPU block** 加载的 K 数据不一致：
-
-```
-Pass 1: K_chunk sum = 745472.00 (正确)
-Pass 2: K_chunk sum = 0.00      (错误，数据未加载完成)
-```
-
-这导致 attention 计算结果错误，RULER 准确率下降。
-
-### 复现条件
-
-- 模式: Offload (`--enable-offload`)
-- Context: ≥ 32K tokens
-- 稀疏策略: `--sparse-policy XATTN_BSA`
-
----
-
-## 根因分析
-
-### Stream 配置回顾
-
-nano-vllm 的 CPU offload 使用多个 CUDA streams 实现 pipeline：
-
-| Stream | 用途 |
-|--------|------|
-| `slot_transfer_streams[i]` | H2D 传输 (CPU → GPU slot) |
-| `compute_stream` | Attention 计算 |
-| `prefill_offload_streams[i]` | D2H 传输 (GPU → CPU cache) |
-
-### 同步机制
-
-`wait_slot_layer(slot)` 使用 event 机制同步：
-
-```python
-def wait_slot_layer(self, slot_idx: int):
-    """Make compute_stream wait for H2D transfer completion."""
-    self.compute_stream.wait_event(self.ring_slot_ready[slot_idx])
-```
-
-### Bug 根因
-
-在 `select_blocks` 方法中：
-
-1. H2D 传输在 `slot_transfer_streams` 上执行
-2. `wait_slot_layer` 让 `compute_stream` 等待传输完成
-3. **但是** 后续的 compute kernels 在**默认 stream** 上执行，而不是 `compute_stream`
-
-```python
-# Bug 代码
-offload_engine.load_k_only_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
-offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)  # compute_stream 等待
-
-# 这些 kernel 在默认 stream 上运行，没有等待 H2D 完成！
-k_block = offload_engine.get_k_for_slot(slot)
-K_chunk = k_block.transpose(1, 2)
-# ... 后续计算 ...
-```
-
-### 时序图
-
-```
-slot_transfer_stream:  [====H2D====]
-compute_stream:             |wait|
-default_stream:        [kernel1][kernel2]  ← 没有等待！
-                            ↑
-                       数据未就绪
-```
-
----
-
-## 修复方案
-
-### 核心修改
-
-将所有 estimate 阶段的 compute kernels 包装在 `with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):` 中：
-
-```python
-# 修复后代码
-compute_stream = offload_engine.compute_stream
-
-offload_engine.load_k_only_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
-offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)  # compute_stream 等待
-
-# 所有计算在 compute_stream 上执行
-with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):
-    k_block = offload_engine.get_k_for_slot(slot)
-    K_chunk = k_block.transpose(1, 2)
-    # ... 后续计算 ...
-```
-
-### 修复位置
-
-`select_blocks` 方法中共 6 处需要修复：
-
-| 位置 | 阶段 | 修复内容 |
-|------|------|----------|
-| Pass 1 历史 blocks | `xattn_estimate_pass1` | 历史 KV chunk 处理 |
-| Pass 1 当前 chunk | `xattn_estimate_pass1` | 当前 GPU 上的 K 处理 |
-| Step 2 合并 | `merge_softmax_stats` | softmax stats 合并 |
-| Pass 2 历史 blocks | `xattn_estimate_pass2` | 带全局 stats 的 block_sum |
-| Pass 2 当前 chunk | `xattn_estimate_pass2` | 当前 chunk 的 block_sum |
-| Step 4 block 选择 | `find_blocks_chunked` | 最终 block 选择 |
-
-### 时序图（修复后）
-
-```
-slot_transfer_stream:  [====H2D====]
-compute_stream:             |wait|[kernel1][kernel2]
-                                   ↑
-                              数据已就绪
-```
-
----
-
-## 代码变更详情
-
-### 1. Pass 1 历史 blocks 处理
-
-```python
-# Before (bug)
-for kv_chunk_idx, cpu_block_id in enumerate(available_blocks):
-    offload_engine.load_k_only_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
-    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
-
-    k_block = offload_engine.get_k_for_slot(slot)  # 默认 stream
-    K_chunk = k_block.transpose(1, 2)
-    # ... compute ...
-
-# After (fixed)
-compute_stream = offload_engine.compute_stream
-
-for kv_chunk_idx, cpu_block_id in enumerate(available_blocks):
-    offload_engine.load_k_only_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
-    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
-
-    with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):  # 显式指定 stream
-        k_block = offload_engine.get_k_for_slot(slot)
-        K_chunk = k_block.transpose(1, 2)
-        # ... compute ...
-```
-
-### 2. 移除 STRONG SYNC
-
-`offload_engine.py` 中移除了不必要的强同步：
-
-```python
-# Removed from load_to_slot_layer() and load_k_only_to_slot_layer()
-# STRONG SYNC: Synchronize all prefill offload streams before H2D
-# for offload_stream in self.prefill_offload_streams:
-#     offload_stream.synchronize()
-```
-
-这些同步现在由 event 机制正确处理，不再需要阻塞式同步。
-
-### 3. 其他清理
-
-- 移除 DEBUG print 语句
-- 移除 `torch.save()` debug 代码
-- 合并多个 fallback 条件
-- 将 `chunk_size` 默认值从 16384 改为 4096（匹配 offload Q chunk size）
-

-| 模式 | Layer 0 Density | 差异 |
-|------|-----------------|------|
-| GPU-only | 9.84% | - |
-| Offload | 9.53% | ~3% |
-
-~3% 的差异是预期的，因为两种模式的 KV 累积模式不同：
-- GPU-only: 一次性处理所有 KV
-- Offload: 分 chunk 处理，每个 chunk 独立计算 softmax stats 后合并

-### Stream 配置要求
-
-| 操作类型 | Stream | 原因 |
-|----------|--------|------|
-| H2D 传输 | `slot_transfer_streams` | 异步传输，不阻塞计算 |
-| D2H 传输 | `prefill_offload_streams` | 异步 offload，不阻塞计算 |
-| Estimate kernels | `compute_stream` | 与 attention 计算共享，确保同步 |
-| Attention kernels | `compute_stream` | 主计算流 |
-
-### Event 同步机制
-
-```python
-# H2D 传输完成后记录 event
-self.ring_slot_ready[slot_idx].record(slot_transfer_stream)
-
-# 计算前等待 H2D 完成
-self.compute_stream.wait_event(self.ring_slot_ready[slot_idx])
-
-# 计算完成后记录 event（用于下一轮 H2D）
-self.ring_slot_compute_done[slot_idx].record(compute_stream)
-```

-## 经验总结
-
-### 1. Stream 同步的隐蔽性
-
-CUDA stream 同步 bug 很难发现：
-- 数据可能"大部分时间"正确（取决于时序）
-- 错误表现为随机/间歇性的结果偏差
-- 需要精确的 debug logging 才能定位
-
-### 2. Event vs Synchronize
-
-| 方法 | 优点 | 缺点 |
-|------|------|------|
-| `stream.wait_event()` | 非阻塞，保持 pipeline | 只同步指定 stream |
-| `stream.synchronize()` | 保证完成 | 阻塞整个 stream，破坏 pipeline |
-
-**最佳实践**: 使用 event 进行精确同步，避免 synchronize 阻塞。
-
-### 3. 调试方法
-
-```python
-# 打印 tensor sum 验证数据一致性
-print(f"K_chunk sum = {K_chunk.sum().item()}")
-
-# 保存中间结果进行离线比较
-torch.save({'K': K_chunk, 'layer': layer_id}, f'/tmp/debug_{pass}_{chunk}.pt')

-
-### 关键发现
-
-1. **Block size 对性能影响显著**
-   - block_size=1024 比 4096 慢约 2x
-   - 更小的 block size 导致更多的 chunks，增加调用次数
-
-2. **性能瓶颈随 block size 变化**
-   - **block_size=4096**: 瓶颈是 `find_blocks_chunked` (39.7%)
-   - **block_size=1024**: 瓶颈转移到 `estimate_gemm` (23.6%) 和 `compute_historical` (16.9%)
-
-3. **Amortization 效应**
-   - 大 block size 虽然单次 `find_blocks` 更慢 (37.6ms vs 0.66ms)
-   - 但调用次数少 (480 vs 1984)，总时间反而更少
-
-4. **find_blocks_chunked 的特殊性**
-   - 该函数主要在 CPU 上执行 block 选择逻辑
-   - 处理更大的数据量时开销显著增加
-   - block_size=4096 时占用 40% 时间，是主要优化目标
-
-## softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel 性能分析
-
-`softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel_non_causal` 是 XAttention 估计阶段的核心 Triton kernel。
-
-### Kernel 结构
-
-```python
-# 每个 thread block 处理的数据形状
-工作负载: [block_size, segment_size]  # 单个 Q block 对所有 K 的注意力
-
-# Pass 1: 计算全局 softmax 参数 (m_i, l_i)
-for iter in range(num_iters):  # num_iters = k_len / segment_size
-    X = load [block_size, segment_size]
-    compute max, sum for softmax normalization
-
-# Pass 2: Normalize + Block Sum
-for iter in range(num_iters):
-    X = load [block_size, segment_size]
-    X = softmax(X)
-    X = reshape(X, [block_size, segment_size/block_size, block_size])
-    X = sum(X, axis=2)  # → [block_size, segment_size/block_size]
-    X = sum(X, axis=0)  # → [segment_size/block_size]
-    store output
-```
-
-### 性能随 block_size 变化的因素
-
-| 因素 | 小 block_size (64) | 大 block_size (256) |
-|------|-------------------|---------------------|
-| Grid 并行度 | 高 (更多 blocks) | 低 (更少 blocks) |
-| 寄存器使用 | 低 | 高 (可能 spill) |
-| L2 Cache 复用 | 差 | 好 |
-| 输出大小 | 大 | 小 |
-
-### 典型性能曲线

-
-最优点通常在 128-256 之间
-```
-
-## 优化建议
-
-1. **优先使用 block_size=4096**
-   - 减少 chunk 数量，降低调度开销
-   - 更好的 amortization 效果
-
-2. **优化 find_blocks_chunked**
-   - 当前是 block_size=4096 的主要瓶颈
-   - 考虑 GPU 加速或批量处理
-
-3. **Pipeline 优化**
-   - 利用多 slot 的 ring buffer 实现计算和传输 overlap
-   - 当前已实现，但 find_blocks 是 CPU 操作，无法 overlap
