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

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

 # Documentation Management
 ## CLAUDE.md Content Policy
 **CLAUDE.md should only contain operational requirements:**
 - Environment setup (PYTHONPATH, GPU mutex)
 - Execution requirements (how to run tests/benchmarks)
 - Quick configuration reference
 - Documentation index (links to detailed docs)
 **Technical details should go to docs/:**
 - Architecture and design explanations
 - Implementation details and code flows
 - Debugging techniques
 - Memory analysis and profiling
 - Algorithm explanations
 ## When Adding New Technical Content
 Follow this workflow:
 ### Step 1: Analyze and Document
 If doing technical analysis (e.g., memory profiling):
 1. Calculate theoretical values using formulas
 2. Run actual tests to measure real values
 3. Compare theoretical vs actual (expect < 10% error for valid models)
 4. Document findings with both theory and empirical validation
 ### Step 2: Create/Update docs/
 Create a new doc or update existing one in `docs/`:
 ```
 docs/
 ├── architecture_guide.md      # Core components, design, flows
 ├── sparse_attention_guide.md  # Sparse attention methods
 ├── layerwise_offload_memory_analysis.md  # Memory analysis
 ├── debugging_guide.md         # Debugging techniques
 └── <new_topic>_guide.md       # New technical topic
 ```
 ### Step 3: Update CLAUDE.md Documentation Index
 Add entry to the Documentation Index table:
 ```markdown
 | Document | Purpose |
 |----------|---------|
 | [`docs/new_doc.md`](docs/new_doc.md) | Brief description |
 ```
 ### Step 4: Refactor if Needed
 If CLAUDE.md grows too large (> 150 lines), refactor:
 1. Identify technical details that can be moved
 2. Create appropriate doc in docs/
 3. Replace detailed content with reference link
 4. Keep only operational essentials in CLAUDE.md
 ## Documentation Structure Template
 For new technical docs:
 ```markdown
 # Topic Guide
 Brief overview of what this document covers.
 ## Section 1: Concepts
 - Key concepts and terminology
 ## Section 2: Implementation
 - Code locations
 - Key methods/functions
 ## Section 3: Details
 - Detailed explanations
 - Code examples
 ## Section 4: Validation (if applicable)
 - Theoretical analysis
 - Empirical measurements
 - Comparison table
 ```
 ## Memory Analysis Template
 When documenting memory behavior:
 ```markdown
 ## Theoretical Calculation
 | Component | Formula | Size |
 |-----------|---------|------|
 | Buffer X | `param1 × param2 × dtype_size` | X MB |
 ## Empirical Validation
 | Metric | Theoretical | Actual | Error |
 |--------|-------------|--------|-------|
 | Peak memory | X GB | Y GB | Z% |
 ## Key Findings
 1. Finding 1
 2. Finding 2

 ## 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

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

 # Sparse Policy 代码规范
 ## 基类要求 (MANDATORY)
 每个 `SparsePolicy` 子类 **必须** 遵守以下要求：
 ### 1. 声明 supports_prefill / supports_decode 标志
 ```python
 class MyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
    supports_prefill = True   # 是否支持 prefill 阶段
    supports_decode = True    # 是否支持 decode 阶段
 ```
 ### 2. 实现三个抽象方法
 | 方法 | 必须实现 | 说明 |
 |------|---------|------|
 | `select_blocks()` | ✅ | 选择要加载的 blocks |
 | `compute_chunked_prefill()` | ✅ | Prefill attention 计算 |
 | `compute_chunked_decode()` | ✅ | Decode attention 计算 |
 ### 3. 不支持的阶段必须 assert False
 如果 `supports_prefill = False`，则 `compute_chunked_prefill()` 内部 **必须** `assert False`：
 ```python
 class DecodeOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
    supports_prefill = False
    supports_decode = True
    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
        assert False, "DecodeOnlyPolicy does not support prefill phase"
    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
        # 正常实现
        ...
 ```
 同理，如果 `supports_decode = False`：
 ```python
 class PrefillOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
    supports_prefill = True
    supports_decode = False
    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
        # 正常实现
        ...
    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
        assert False, "PrefillOnlyPolicy does not support decode phase"
 ```
 ### 4. FullAttentionPolicy 必须同时支持两个阶段
 ```python
 class FullAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
    supports_prefill = True
    supports_decode = True
    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
        # 完整实现
    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
        # 完整实现
 ```

 ## CPU-GPU 通信规范
 ### 规则：所有通信必须通过 OffloadEngine
 在 `compute_chunked_*` 方法中，**禁止** 直接使用 `torch.Tensor.copy_()` 或 `.to(device)`：
 ```python
 # ✅ 正确：使用 OffloadEngine 的 ring buffer 方法
 offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
 offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
 k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
 offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(slot)
 # ✅ 正确：使用 prefill buffer
 k, v = offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)
 # ✅ 正确：使用 decode buffer
 decode_k = offload_engine.decode_k_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
 decode_v = offload_engine.decode_v_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
 # ❌ 错误：直接使用 torch 通信
 gpu_tensor.copy_(cpu_tensor)
 gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to("cuda")
 gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.cuda()
 ```
 ### 原因
 1. **流同步**：OffloadEngine 内部管理 CUDA streams，确保正确的同步
 2. **Pipeline 优化**：OffloadEngine 实现了 ring buffer pipeline
 3. **资源管理**：OffloadEngine 管理 GPU buffer slots，避免内存碎片
 4. **一致性**：统一的接口便于调试和维护

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

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

 # Architecture Guide
 This document describes the core components and design of nano-vLLM, with detailed focus on the CPU offload system.
 ## Core Components
 ### LLMEngine (`llm_engine.py`)
 Main entry point that runs the prefill-decode loop. Manages the overall inference workflow.
 ### ModelRunner (`model_runner.py`)
 - Loads model weights
 - Allocates KV cache
 - Manages CUDA graphs for decode acceleration
 ### Scheduler (`scheduler.py`)
 Two-phase scheduling system:
 - **Prefill phase**: Processes prompt tokens
 - **Decode phase**: Generates output tokens autoregressively
 ### BlockManager (`block_manager.py`)
 - Paged attention implementation
 - Prefix caching using xxhash
 - Default block size: 4096 tokens
 ### Attention (`layers/attention.py`)
 - FlashAttention for efficient computation
 - Chunked methods for CPU offload mode
 ---
 ## CPU Offload System
 ### Ring Buffer Design
 The CPU offload system uses a unified ring buffer to manage GPU memory slots:
 ```
 GPU Slots: [0]  [1]  [2]  [3]  ...  (unified ring buffer)
 Prefill:  slot = chunk_idx % N
 Decode:   slot[0] = decode, slots[1:] = load previous chunks
 ```
 **Key Files**: `kvcache/offload_engine.py`, `kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`
 ### Memory Layout
 **GPU Memory**:
 ```
 [num_layers, num_gpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 **CPU Memory** (pinned):
 ```
 [num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 ### Key Methods
 | Method | Purpose |
 |--------|---------|
 | `load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer, cpu_block)` | Async H2D load for specific layer |
 | `offload_slot_to_cpu(slot, cpu_block)` | Async D2H offload |
 | Per-slot per-layer CUDA events | Fine-grained synchronization |
 ### Pipeline Architecture
 **N-way Pipeline** with dedicated streams for full compute-transfer overlap:
 - **Prefill pipeline depth**: N-1
 - **Decode pipeline depth**: (N-1)/2
 ### Stream Architecture
 ```
 Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
 ```
 ### Key Design Decisions
 1. **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
 2. **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with CUDA default stream
 3. **CUDA Events**:
   - `ring_slot_ready`: Signals transfer complete
   - `ring_slot_compute_done`: Signals safe to overwrite slot
 ### Chunked Offload Flow
 **Prefill Phase**:
 1. For each chunk, assign `slot = chunk_idx % N`
 2. Load required KV blocks from CPU to assigned slot
 3. Compute attention on current chunk
 4. Offload results back to CPU if needed
 **Decode Phase**:
 1. Use `slot[0]` for active decode computation
 2. Use `slots[1:]` to prefetch upcoming chunks
 3. Rotate slots as decoding progresses
 ---
 ## Configuration Parameters
 | Parameter | Default | Description |
 |-----------|---------|-------------|
 | `kvcache_block_size` | 1024 | Tokens per KV cache block |
 | `num_gpu_blocks` | 2 | Number of GPU blocks for offload |
 | `num_kv_buffers` | 4 | Ring buffer size (1-4), lower = less memory but slower decode |
 | `enable_cpu_offload` | False | Enable CPU offload mode |
 ### Trade-offs
 - **More GPU blocks**: Higher memory usage, faster prefill (fewer transfers)
 - **Fewer GPU blocks**: Lower memory usage, more frequent transfers
 - **Larger ring buffer**: More memory, better prefetch overlap
 - **Smaller ring buffer**: Less memory, potential compute stalls

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

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

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

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

 ## N-way Pipeline with Dedicated Streams ✓
 ### Problem
 Original implementation used only 2-slot double buffering, limiting compute-transfer overlap.
 ### Solution
 Implemented N-way pipeline using all available GPU slots with per-slot transfer streams and dedicated compute stream.
 **Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
 ### Architecture
 ```
 Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
 Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
 ```
 ### Key Design Decisions
 1. **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
 2. **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with CUDA default stream
 3. **CUDA Events**:
   - `ring_slot_ready`: Signals transfer complete
   - `ring_slot_compute_done`: Signals safe to overwrite slot
 ### Performance Impact
 **2.0x improvement**: 7.2k → 14.1k tok/s (16K tokens prefill)

 | FlashAttention | 603 ms | 74.8% | ⚠️ Main bottleneck |
 | Triton Merge | 161 ms | 19.9% | ✓ Optimized |
 | Other | 42 ms | 5.3% | Minor |
 ### Future Optimization Directions
 1. **FlashAttention Optimization** (highest priority)
   - Current: 74.8% of GPU time
   - Potential: Custom FlashAttention kernel for chunked case
   - Expected: 1.5-2x additional speedup
 2. **Alternative to sgDMA** (lower priority, PyTorch-only)
   - Reorganize cache layout: `[num_cpu_blocks, num_layers, ...]` instead of `[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, ...]`
   - Trade-off: Extensive refactoring vs minimal sgDMA approach
   - Same performance as sgDMA (~24 GB/s)

 # RULER 32K Chunked Offload Accuracy Issue
 **Status**: 🟡 IMPROVED (Last Updated: 2026-01-20)
 **Branch**: `tzj/minference`
 **Severity**: MEDIUM - 4-slot config improves accuracy but issues remain
 ---
 ## Problem
 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

 ## 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.

 ## 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 (Broken)
 - **Branch**: `tzj/minference`
 - **Method**: Full attention with chunked CPU offload
 - **Error Rate**: 20% (120/600)
 - **Samples**: 100 samples per task
 ---
 ## Next Steps
 1. **Reproduce with 4K context**: Test if issue exists with shorter contexts (fewer chunks)
 2. **Vary chunk size**: Test with chunk_size=2048, 4096 to see if larger chunks help
 3. **Disable chunked offload**: Compare with layer-wise offload only (no chunking)
 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

-Use **strided Q/K reshaping** to create coarse-grained representations, compute block-level attention scores, and select blocks above a threshold.
+Use **stride interleaved reshape (inverse mode)** to efficiently estimate block-level attention importance, then use **BSA (Block Sparse Attention)** library for sparse computation.

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

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

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

 # 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

 ## 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)
 ```
 ---
 ## BSA (Block Sparse Attention)
 ### 库来源
 ```python
 from block_sparse_attn import block_sparse_attn_func
 ```
 来自 MIT-HAN-LAB，提供基于块 mask 的高效稀疏 FlashAttention 实现。
 ### 接口
 ```python
 attn_output = block_sparse_attn_func(
    query_states,         # [total_q, num_heads, head_dim]
    key_states,           # [total_k, num_heads, head_dim]
    value_states,         # [total_k, num_heads, head_dim]
    q_cu_seq_lens,        # [batch+1] cumulative sequence lengths
    k_cu_seq_lens,        # [batch+1]
    head_mask_type,       # [num_heads] int32, 1=causal, 0=full
    left_mask,            # Optional left padding mask
    block_mask,           # [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks] bool
    max_seqlen_q,         # int
    max_seqlen_k,         # int
    p_dropout=0.0,
    deterministic=True,
    is_causal=True,       # 全局 causal flag
 )
 ```
 ### 块大小要求
 BSA 要求 **block_size = 128**（硬编码）：
 ```python
 assert block_size == 128  # Xattention.py:358
 ```
 ---
 ## 关键参数
 | 参数 | 默认值 | 范围 | 作用 |
 |------|--------|------|------|
 | `stride` | 8 | 4-16 | Q/K 交错采样步长，越大估计越快但越粗糙 |
 | `threshold` | 0.9 | 0.7-0.99 | 累积注意力阈值，越高保留块越多 |
 | `block_size` | 128 | 128 (固定) | BSA 块大小，不可调 |
 | `chunk_size` | 16384 | 2048-131072 | 估计时的分块大小，影响内存使用 |
 | `norm` | 1.0 | 0.5-2.0 | 注意力分数归一化系数 |
 | `keep_sink` | False | bool | 是否始终保留第一个块 |
 | `keep_recent` | False | bool | 是否始终保留对角块 |
 ---
 ## 计算复杂度
 ### 估计阶段
 | 操作 | 复杂度 |
 |------|--------|
 | Stride reshape GEMM | O(seq_len/stride × seq_len/stride × head_dim × stride) = O(seq_len² × head_dim / stride) |
 | Softmax + block sum | O(seq_len² / stride²) |
 | Block selection | O(num_blocks² × log(num_blocks)) |
 **估计阶段总复杂度**: O(seq_len² × head_dim / stride)
 ### 计算阶段 (BSA)
 设选中块比例为 ρ (通常 0.3-0.5):
 | 操作 | 复杂度 |
 |------|--------|
 | Block sparse attention | O(ρ × num_blocks² × block_size² × head_dim) = O(ρ × seq_len² × head_dim) |
 **总复杂度**: O(seq_len² × head_dim × (1/stride + ρ))
 当 stride=8, ρ=0.4 时，相比 full attention 节省约 **50%** 计算量。
 ---
 ## 与 nano-vllm 集成注意事项
 ### 依赖要求
 ```
 block_sparse_attn  # pip install block-sparse-attn
 triton >= 2.0      # Triton kernels
 ```
 ### CPU Offload 场景适配
 XAttention 原始实现假设所有 KV 在 GPU 上。对于 CPU offload 场景，需要：
 1. **估计阶段**: 仍需加载所有历史 KV 到 GPU 进行估计
 2. **计算阶段**: 只加载选中的块
 这可能需要修改为两阶段 pipeline:
 - 先用采样数据估计重要块
 - 再只加载重要块进行计算
 ### block_size 对齐
 nano-vllm 的 `kvcache_block_size` 需要与 BSA 的 128 对齐：
 - 如果 `kvcache_block_size = 1024`，则每个 kv block 包含 8 个 BSA blocks
 - 块选择粒度需要相应调整

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

 ---
 ## 实现状态
 ### ✅ 已完成的阶段
 - Phase 1-7: 模块化集成（之前会话完成）
 - Phase 8: KV offload bug 修复
 - Phase 9: 32K 数据测试
 ### 📊 测试结果总结
 | 测试类型 | 样本数 | XAttention BSA | FULL Policy |
 |---------|--------|---------------|-------------|
 | Simple (12 tokens) | 1 | ✅ 100% | ✅ 100% |
 | Needle (4096 tokens) | 1 | ✅ 100% | N/A |
 | RULER 32K (multi-task) | 12 | ✅ 66.7% | 50-100% |
 ### 🔍 已知问题
 1. **LSE 合并顺序敏感性**
   - niah_single_3: XATTN_BSA (66.7%) vs FULL (100%)
   - 可能原因: 在线合并多个 attention 结果时顺序相关
   - 影响: 边界情况，整体影响较小
 2. **QA 任务类型**
   - qa_1: XATTN_BSA (0%) 和 FULL (0%)
   - 这是任务类型问题（Qwen3-0.6B 模型能力限制），不是 XAttention BSA 的 bug
 ---
 ## 性能指标
 ### Prefill 速度
 - 32K 数据 prefill: ~2700 tok/s
 ### Decode 速度
 - ~12-15 tok/s
 ### 内存使用
 - GPU: 224 MB (2 blocks)
 - CPU: 4480 MB (40 blocks)

  "tie_word_embeddings": false,
  "vocab_size": 128256
 }
 ```
 ### Llama 3 RoPE Scaling
 Llama 3 使用特殊的 RoPE scaling 策略 (`rope_type: "llama3"`)：
 - 低频分量保持不变（对应短距离依赖）
 - 高频分量线性插值（对应长距离依赖）
 - 参数: `factor`, `low_freq_factor`, `high_freq_factor`, `original_max_position_embeddings`
 参考实现 (transformers):
 ```python
 def _compute_llama3_parameters(config, device, inv_freq):
    factor = config.factor
    low_freq_factor = config.low_freq_factor
    high_freq_factor = config.high_freq_factor
    old_context_len = config.original_max_position_embeddings
    low_freq_wavelen = old_context_len / low_freq_factor
    high_freq_wavelen = old_context_len / high_freq_factor
    wavelen = 2 * math.pi / inv_freq
    inv_freq_llama = torch.where(
        wavelen > low_freq_wavelen,
        inv_freq / factor,
        inv_freq
    )
    smooth_factor = (old_context_len / wavelen - low_freq_factor) / (high_freq_factor - low_freq_factor)
    smoothed_inv_freq = (1 - smooth_factor) * inv_freq_llama + smooth_factor * inv_freq
    is_medium_freq = (wavelen >= high_freq_wavelen) & (wavelen <= low_freq_wavelen)
    inv_freq_llama = torch.where(is_medium_freq, smoothed_inv_freq, inv_freq_llama)
    return inv_freq_llama
 ```

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

 # Task Plan: Multi-Model Support for nanovllm
 ## Goal
 扩展 nanovllm 框架以支持多种模型（当前只支持 Qwen3），特别是添加 Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct 支持，并建立可扩展的模型添加范式。
 ## Current State Analysis
 ### 硬编码问题位置
 - `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:35`: 直接实例化 `Qwen3ForCausalLM(hf_config)`
 - `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:9`: 硬编码导入 `from nanovllm.models.qwen3 import Qwen3ForCausalLM`
 ### Qwen3 vs Llama 3.1 架构差异
 | Feature | Qwen3 | Llama 3.1 |
 |---------|-------|-----------|
 | Config Class | Qwen3Config | LlamaConfig |
 | attention_bias | True (可配置) | False |
 | q_norm/k_norm | 有 (when bias=False) | 无 |
 | mlp_bias | N/A | False |
 | RoPE Scaling | None (目前) | llama3 类型 |
 | RoPE theta | 1000000 | 500000 |
 | hidden_act | silu | silu |
 | tie_word_embeddings | True | False |
 ### 关键限制
 - `rotary_embedding.py:59`: `assert rope_scaling is None` - 不支持 RoPE scaling
 ---
 ## Phases
 ### Phase 1: Create Model Registry Pattern [pending]
 **Files to modify:**
 - `nanovllm/models/__init__.py` (new)
 - `nanovllm/models/registry.py` (new)
 **Tasks:**
 1. 创建模型注册表机制
 2. 定义模型注册装饰器 `@register_model`
 3. 实现 `get_model_class(hf_config)` 函数，根据 `architectures` 字段自动选择模型
 **Design:**
 ```python
 MODEL_REGISTRY: dict[str, type] = {}
 def register_model(*architectures):
    """Decorator to register a model class for given architecture names."""
    def decorator(cls):
        for arch in architectures:
            MODEL_REGISTRY[arch] = cls
        return cls
    return decorator
 def get_model_class(hf_config) -> type:
    """Get model class based on HF config architectures."""
    for arch in hf_config.architectures:
        if arch in MODEL_REGISTRY:
            return MODEL_REGISTRY[arch]
    raise ValueError(f"Unsupported architecture: {hf_config.architectures}")
 ```
 ### Phase 2: Add Llama3 RoPE Scaling Support [pending]
 **Files to modify:**
 - `nanovllm/layers/rotary_embedding.py`
 **Tasks:**
 1. 实现 `Llama3RotaryEmbedding` 类，支持 llama3 rope_type
 2. 修改 `get_rope()` 函数，根据 rope_scaling 类型选择实现
 3. 保持向后兼容（rope_scaling=None 使用原实现）
 **Llama3 RoPE Scaling Formula:**
 ```python
 # From transformers:
 # low_freq_factor, high_freq_factor, original_max_position_embeddings
 # Adjust frequencies based on wavelength thresholds
 ```
 ### Phase 3: Implement Llama Model [pending]
 **Files to create:**
 - `nanovllm/models/llama.py`
 **Tasks:**
 1. 创建 `LlamaAttention` 类（无 q_norm/k_norm，无 QKV bias）
 2. 创建 `LlamaMLP` 类（与 Qwen3MLP 类似，无 bias）
 3. 创建 `LlamaDecoderLayer` 类
 4. 创建 `LlamaModel` 和 `LlamaForCausalLM` 类
 5. 添加 `packed_modules_mapping` 以支持权重加载
 6. 使用 `@register_model("LlamaForCausalLM")` 注册
 ### Phase 4: Modify ModelRunner for Dynamic Loading [pending]
 **Files to modify:**
 - `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py`
 **Tasks:**
 1. 移除硬编码 `from nanovllm.models.qwen3 import Qwen3ForCausalLM`
 2. 导入 `from nanovllm.models import get_model_class`
 3. 替换 `self.model = Qwen3ForCausalLM(hf_config)` 为:
   ```python
   model_class = get_model_class(hf_config)
   self.model = model_class(hf_config)
   ```
 ### Phase 5: Register Qwen3 Model [pending]
 **Files to modify:**
 - `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py`
 **Tasks:**
 1. 导入 `from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model`
 2. 添加 `@register_model("Qwen3ForCausalLM", "Qwen2ForCausalLM")` 装饰器
 ### Phase 6: Test with Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct [pending]
 **Files:**
 - `tests/test_needle.py` (existing, use for validation)
 **Tasks:**
 1. 运行 needle 测试: `python tests/test_needle.py --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct`
 2. 验证模型加载正确
 3. 验证推理输出正确

 # SparsePolicy 重构测试报告
 ## 任务概述
 根据 task_plan.md 的要求，对 nanovllm 的 SparsePolicy 架构进行重构（v4 版本），将 chunked prefill attention 计算逻辑从 attention.py 完全迁移到 SparsePolicy。
 ## 修改范围
 仅针对 FullPolicy，不涉及 QuestPolicy 或 XAttentionBSAPolicy，不修改 decode 阶段逻辑。
 ## 完成的修改
 ### 1. policy.py (SparsePolicy 基类)
 - 添加 TYPE_CHECKING imports: `OffloadEngine`, `KVCacheManager`, `Sequence`
 - 修改 `select_blocks` 签名：添加 `offload_engine` 参数
 - 添加 `compute_chunked_attention` 抽象方法，参数包括：
  - `q, k, v`: 张量
  - `layer_id`: 层索引
  - `softmax_scale`: softmax 缩放因子
  - `offload_engine`: OffloadEngine 实例
  - `kvcache_manager`: KVCacheManager 实例
  - `current_chunk_idx`: 当前 chunk 索引
  - `seq`: Sequence 对象
  - `num_tokens`: 当前 chunk 的 token 数
 ### 2. full_policy.py (FullAttentionPolicy)
 - 更新 TYPE_CHECKING imports
 - `select_blocks` 方法签名添加 `offload_engine` 参数
 - 重命名 `compute_prefill_attention` → `compute_chunked_attention`
 - 添加 `kvcache_manager` 参数，替换所有 `seq.kvcache_manager` 引用
 - 添加 debug 日志输出
 ### 3. attention.py
 - 简化 `_chunked_prefill_attention` 方法：
  - 删除所有 `flash_attn_*` 调用
  - 删除所有 `merge_attention_outputs` 调用
  - 仅保留委托调用 `sparse_policy.compute_chunked_attention()`
 - 删除冗余方法：`_sync_load_previous_chunks`, `_ring_buffer_pipeline_load`
 - decode 路径的 `select_blocks` 调用添加 `offload_engine` 参数
 ## 验收标准检查
 | 标准 | 状态 | 说明 |
 |------|------|------|
 | test_needle.py --enable-offload 通过 | ✅ | 测试输出 PASSED |
 | attention.py chunked prefill path 无 flash_attn_* 调用 | ✅ | `_chunked_prefill_attention` 方法（169-230行）内无直接 flash_attn 调用 |
 | attention.py chunked prefill path 无 merge_attention_outputs 调用 | ✅ | 同上 |
 | 所有 KV 通信通过 offload_engine 方法 | ✅ | 全部通过 `offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer`, `get_kv_for_slot`, `get_prefill_buffer_slice` |

 ## 架构变更总结
 **重构前**:
 ```
 attention.py::_chunked_prefill_attention()
  ├── 获取 cpu_block_table
  ├── 调用 sparse_policy.select_blocks()
  ├── 直接调用 flash_attn_with_lse + merge_attention_outputs
  └── 返回结果
 ```
 **重构后**:
 ```
 attention.py::_chunked_prefill_attention()
  ├── 获取 context 信息
  ├── 调用 sparse_policy.compute_chunked_attention()  # 委托全部计算
  └── 返回结果
 sparse_policy.compute_chunked_attention()  # 在 FullPolicy 中
  ├── 获取 cpu_block_table
  ├── 调用 self.select_blocks()
  ├── 加载并计算历史 KV attention
  ├── 计算当前 chunk attention (causal)
  ├── 合并所有结果
  └── 返回最终输出
 ```
 ## 结论
 SparsePolicy 架构 v4 重构成功完成。所有验收标准均已满足，测试通过。
