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

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

+
+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

+3. **验证修改**: 运行相关测试
+
+### Step 3: 运行测试验证
+
+执行 task_plan.md 中定义的测试计划，验证重构成功。
+
+## GPU 限制规则
+
+**严格限制**: 只能使用指定的 GPU，所有涉及 GPU 的命令必须加 `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` 前缀：
+
+```bash
+# 正确
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU_ID PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python test.py
+
+# 错误 - 禁止使用其他 GPU
+python test.py  # 可能使用默认 GPU 0
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python test.py  # 使用多个 GPU
+```
+
+## 中断模式规则
+
+### 当 `--no-interrupt` 生效时
+
+遇到以下情况**不停下来询问用户**，而是：
+
+| 情况 | 处理方式 |
+|------|----------|
+| 测试失败 | 记录失败原因，尝试自动修复，继续下一步 |
+| 代码冲突 | 尝试合理解决，记录解决方案 |
+| 不确定的实现细节 | 选择最合理的方案继续 |
+| 执行错误 | 分析错误，尝试修复，记录问题 |
+
+**自动决策原则**:
+1. 优先保证功能正确性
+2. 遵循现有代码风格
+3. 选择简单直接的实现
+4. 记录所有自动决策到 `progress.md`
+
+### 当未指定 `--no-interrupt` 时
+
+遇到以下情况**可以询问用户**：
+- 多个实现方案需要选择
+- 测试持续失败无法自动修复
+- 发现 task_plan.md 中的问题或矛盾
+
+## 执行记录
+
+### 进度文件: progress.md
+
+实时更新 `progress.md` 记录：
+
+```markdown
+## 执行进度
+
+### Phase X: [名称]
+- 状态: [进行中/完成/失败]
+- 开始时间: [时间]
+- 完成时间: [时间]
+- 修改文件: [文件列表]
+- 自动决策: [如果有]
+- 问题记录: [如果有]
+```
+
+### 发现记录: findings.md
+
+记录执行过程中的重要发现到 `findings.md`。
+
+## 示例用法
+
+```bash
+# 使用 GPU 2，允许中断
+/exec-plan --gpu 2
+
+# 使用 GPU 0，不中断执行
+/exec-plan --gpu 0 --no-interrupt
+
+# 简短形式
+/exec-plan -g 1 -n
+```
+
+## 完成标准
+
+执行完成后，确保：
+
+1. **所有 Phase 完成**: task_plan.md 中的所有 Phase 都已实施
+2. **测试通过**: task_plan.md 中的测试计划全部通过
+3. **代码质量**: 修改符合项目代码规范
+4. **文档更新**: progress.md 包含完整执行记录
+
+## 重要约束
+
+1. **GPU 隔离**: 绝对不能使用指定 GPU 以外的设备
+2. **遵循计划**: 严格按照 task_plan.md 执行，不做计划外的修改
+3. **渐进式修改**: 每个 Phase 完成后验证，而不是最后一起验证
+4. **回滚准备**: 重大修改前考虑是否需要 git commit 保存点

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

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

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

+## Needle Test Requirements (MANDATORY)
+
+When running `test_needle.py`, **ALWAYS** use these settings:
+
+1. **Enable offload**: `--enable-offload` is **REQUIRED**
+2. **Use 32K context**: `--input-len 32768` is **REQUIRED**
+
+### Standard Needle Test Command

+    --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

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

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

+# Nsys Profiling Rule
+
+## 强制规则
+
+**所有 nsys profiling 任务必须使用 `scripts/profile_offload.sh` 脚本**，禁止直接运行 nsys 命令。
+
+| 禁止 | 原因 |
+|------|------|
+| `nsys profile python tests/test_ruler.py ...` | 参数不一致，输出路径混乱 |
+| 手动构造 nsys 命令 | 容易遗漏关键参数 |
+
+## 使用方法
+
+```bash
+# 基本用法（默认 4 slots）
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh
+
+# 指定 GPU slots 数量
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 指定 sample
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --sample 5
+
+# 指定 dataset
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --dataset niah_single_1
+
+# 禁用 offload（对比测试）
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --no-offload
+
+# 组合参数
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8 --sample 0 --gpu 1
+```
+
+## 参数说明
+
+| 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| `--dataset` | `niah_single_1` | RULER 任务名称 |
+| `--sample` | `0` | 样本索引 |
+| `--gpu` | `0` | 使用的 GPU |
+| `--num-gpu-blocks` | `4` | GPU ring buffer slots 数量 |
+| `--no-offload` | - | 禁用 CPU offload |
+
+## 输出文件
+
+输出文件自动生成到 `results/nsys/` 目录：

+nsys stats --report cuda_api_sum results/nsys/<filename>.nsys-rep
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/<filename>.nsys-rep
+```
+
+## 典型工作流
+
+### 1. 对比不同 slots 数量
+
+```bash
+# 测试 4 slots（默认）
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 4
+
+# 测试 8 slots
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8

+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/*8slots*.nsys-rep
+```
+
+### 2. 分析 pipeline overlap
+
+```bash
+# 生成 profile
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 用 nsight-sys GUI 查看 CUDA HW timeline
+# 检查 H2D 和 flash_fwd_kernel 是否 overlap

+
+## 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

+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)
+```

+# Sparse Policy 代码规范
+
+## Policy 不能为 None (CRITICAL)
+
+**强制规则**: `sparse_policy` 参数**永远不能为 None**，必须至少为 `FullAttentionPolicy`。
+
+```python
+# ❌ 错误：允许 None
+sparse_policy = getattr(config, 'sparse_policy', None)
+
+# ✅ 正确：显式处理 None，默认使用 FULL
+sparse_policy_type = getattr(config, 'sparse_policy', None)
+if sparse_policy_type is None:
+    sparse_policy_type = SparsePolicyType.FULL
+```
+
+**原因**:
+1. 统一的 API：所有代码路径都通过 policy 进行 attention 计算
+2. 避免空指针：消除 `policy.xxx` 调用时的 None 检查
+3. 简化逻辑：不需要 `if policy is not None` 的分支
+
+**唯一例外：Warmup 阶段**
+
+在 `model_runner.warmup_model()` 期间，kvcache_manager 还未分配。此时 `attention.py` 使用 flash_attn fallback：
+
+```python
+# attention.py 中的 warmup 处理
+if context.kvcache_manager is None:
+    # Warmup phase: use flash_attn directly
+    return flash_attn_varlen_func(...) if context.is_prefill else flash_attn_with_kvcache(...)
+```
+
+这是唯一允许 kvcache_manager 为 None 的情况。正式推理时，policy 必须存在。
+
+---
+
+## 基类要求 (MANDATORY)
+
+每个 `SparsePolicy` 子类 **必须** 遵守以下要求：
+
+### 1. 声明 supports_prefill / supports_decode 标志
+
+```python
+class MyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True   # 是否支持 prefill 阶段
+    supports_decode = True    # 是否支持 decode 阶段
+```
+
+### 2. 实现三个抽象方法
+
+| 方法 | 必须实现 | 说明 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| `select_blocks()` | ✅ | 选择要加载的 blocks |
+| `compute_chunked_prefill()` | ✅ | Prefill attention 计算 |
+| `compute_chunked_decode()` | ✅ | Decode attention 计算 |
+
+### 3. 不支持的阶段必须 assert False
+
+如果 `supports_prefill = False`，则 `compute_chunked_prefill()` 内部 **必须** `assert False`：
+
+```python
+class DecodeOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = False
+    supports_decode = True
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        assert False, "DecodeOnlyPolicy does not support prefill phase"
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        # 正常实现
+        ...
+```
+
+同理，如果 `supports_decode = False`：
+
+```python
+class PrefillOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = False
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        # 正常实现
+        ...
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        assert False, "PrefillOnlyPolicy does not support decode phase"
+```
+
+### 4. FullAttentionPolicy 必须同时支持两个阶段
+
+```python
+class FullAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = True
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        # 完整实现
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        # 完整实现
+```
+
+---
+
+## CPU-GPU 通信规范
+
+### 规则：所有通信必须通过 OffloadEngine
+
+在 `compute_chunked_*` 方法中，**禁止** 直接使用 `torch.Tensor.copy_()` 或 `.to(device)`：
+
+```python
+# ✅ 正确：使用 OffloadEngine 的 ring buffer 方法
+offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(slot)
+
+# ✅ 正确：使用 prefill buffer
+k, v = offload_engine.get_prefill_buffer_slice(layer_id, num_tokens)
+
+# ✅ 正确：使用 decode buffer
+decode_k = offload_engine.decode_k_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+decode_v = offload_engine.decode_v_buffer[layer_id, start:end]
+
+# ❌ 错误：直接使用 torch 通信
+gpu_tensor.copy_(cpu_tensor)
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to("cuda")
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.cuda()
+```
+
+### 原因
+
+1. **流同步**：OffloadEngine 内部管理 CUDA streams，确保正确的同步
+2. **Pipeline 优化**：OffloadEngine 实现了 ring buffer pipeline
+3. **资源管理**：OffloadEngine 管理 GPU buffer slots，避免内存碎片
+4. **一致性**：统一的接口便于调试和维护

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

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

 ## GPU Mutex for Multi-Instance Debugging
 
-**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances for parallel debugging, only one GPU (cuda:0) is available. Before executing ANY command that uses the GPU (python scripts, benchmarks, tests), Claude MUST:
+**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances for parallel debugging, different rules apply based on script type:
 
-1. **Check GPU availability** by running:
-   ```bash
-   nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid,name,used_memory --format=csv,noheader
-   ```
+### Benchmarks (`bench*.py`) - Exclusive GPU Access Required
 
-2. **If processes are running on GPU**:
-   - Wait and retry every 10 seconds until GPU is free
-   - Use this polling loop:
-     ```bash
-     while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
-       echo "GPU busy, waiting 10s..."
-       sleep 10
-     done
-     ```
-
-3. **Only proceed** when `nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader` returns empty output
-
-**Example workflow**:
-```bash
-# First check if GPU is in use
-nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid,name,used_memory --format=csv,noheader
-
-# If output is empty, proceed with your command
-python bench_offload.py
-
-# If output shows processes, wait until they finish
-```
-
-**Note**: This applies to ALL GPU operations including:
-- Running tests (`python tests/test_*.py`)
-- Running benchmarks (`python bench*.py`)
-- Running examples (`python example.py`)
-- Any script that imports torch/cuda
-
-## Local Package Installation for Multi-Instance
-
-**CRITICAL**: After ANY code modification in the `nanovllm/` directory, you MUST reinstall the package before running tests or benchmarks:
+Before running any `bench*.py` script, Claude MUST wait for exclusive GPU access:
 
 ```bash
-pip install -e . --prefix=./.local --no-deps
+# Check and wait for GPU to be free
+while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
+  echo "GPU busy, waiting 10s..."
+  sleep 10
+done
 ```
 
-Then run with PYTHONPATH:
+### Other Scripts (tests, examples) - No Special Requirements
+
+For non-benchmark scripts, exclusive GPU access is NOT required. Multiple nanovllm processes can run simultaneously on different GPUs - each process automatically selects a unique port for `torch.distributed` communication.
+
+## Multi-Instance Development with PYTHONPATH
+
+**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances on different worktrees, do NOT use `pip install -e .` globally as it will affect other instances.
+
+**Use PYTHONPATH directly** - no pip install needed:
+
 ```bash
-PYTHONPATH=./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH python <script.py>
+# Set PYTHONPATH to point to the project root directory
+PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/worktree:$PYTHONPATH python <script.py>
+
+# Example: running tests
+PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py
 ```
 
-**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances on different worktrees, do NOT use `pip install -e .` globally as it will affect other instances. Instead, use local installation:

-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

-
-### 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

-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)

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

+- No `pip install` required
+- Code changes take effect immediately (no reinstall needed)
+- Each worktree is completely isolated

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

-The decode path fails because:
-1. `prefilled_blocks` is not being tracked correctly, causing `get_prefilled_cpu_blocks()` to return empty
-2. OR the decode attention is not correctly loading/using the prefilled KV from CPU
-3. OR there's a stream synchronization issue specific to decode path

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

+| 策略 | 耗时 | 吞吐量 | 相对性能 |
+|------|------|--------|----------|
+| Full Attention | 401.04s | 163.41 tok/s | baseline |
+| XAttention BSA | 390.35s | 167.89 tok/s | **+2.7%** ✅ |
+
+### Block Size 1024 (历史测试)

+#### CPU Offload 模式
+
+| 上下文 | Full Attention | XAttention | 相对性能 |
+|--------|----------------|------------|----------|
+| 32K | 1587.74 tok/s | 1172.33 tok/s | -26% |
+| 128K | 552.63 tok/s | 466.17 tok/s | -16% |
+
+## 关键发现
+
+### 1. GPU-only vs CPU Offload 模式差异
+
+| 模式 | XAttention 效果 | 原因 |
+|------|-----------------|------|
+| **GPU-only** | ✅ 显著加速 (+15% ~ +41%) | 计算是瓶颈，稀疏注意力减少 FLOPs |
+| **CPU Offload (优化后)** | ✅ 长上下文略有收益 | estimate_block_size 优化减少估计开销 |
+| **CPU Offload (优化前)** | ❌ 性能下降 (-14% ~ -59%) | 传输是瓶颈，稀疏估计增加额外开销 |
+
+### 2. Block Size 对性能的影响
+
+| Block Size | 64K Full (Offload) | 特点 |
+|------------|-------------------|------|
+| 4096 | 3329 tok/s | ⭐ 最佳性能 |
+| 1024 | ~1500 tok/s | 中等 |
+| 256 | 163 tok/s | 极慢（20x 下降） |
+
+**原因**: 更小的 block = 更多的 blocks = 更多 H2D 传输开销
+
+### 3. XAttention 在小 Block Size 下反转
+
+当 block size = 256 时，XAttention 反而略有优势 (+2.7%)：
+- 256 个 blocks (vs 16 个 @ 4096)
+- 稀疏跳过的 blocks 比例更明显
+- 但绝对性能极差，不推荐使用
+
+### 4. estimate_block_size 优化效果 (2026-01-28)
+
+```
+Offload 模式 XAttention 相对性能变化:
+         优化前    优化后    改进
+32K:    -13.9%   -6.0%    +7.9pp
+64K:    -20.6%   -3.8%    +16.8pp
+128K:   -59.1%   +2.4%    +61.5pp ✅
+```
+
+优化内容：
+- `estimate_block_size` 从 4096 改为 1024
+- `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 时间从 48% 降到 1% (44x 加速)
+- 选择策略从 mask + voting 改为 score + threshold
+
+优化后结论：
+- **128K 长上下文 XAttention 反超 Full Attention**
+- 短上下文仍有少量开销，但已显著减少
+
+## 结论
+
+### 推荐配置 (优化后, 2026-01-28)
+
+| 场景 | 推荐策略 | Block Size |
+|------|----------|------------|
+| GPU-only (VRAM 充足) | XAttention | 4096 |
+| CPU Offload (128K+) | XAttention | 4096 |
+| CPU Offload (32K-64K) | Full Attention 或 XAttention | 4096 |
+
+### XAttention 适用条件 (优化后)
+
+✅ **适合**:
+- GPU-only 模式（计算密集）
+- CPU Offload + 长上下文（128K+）有正向收益
+- 长上下文（64K+）收益更大
+
+⚠️ **中性**:
+- CPU Offload + 中等上下文（32K-64K）：略慢 3-6%，可接受
+
+❌ **不推荐**:
+- 短上下文（<32K）收益不明显
+
+## 运行命令
+
+```bash
+# GPU-only 模式
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench.py --max-len 65536 --block-size 4096 --gpu-util 0.7
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench.py --max-len 65536 --block-size 4096 --gpu-util 0.7 --policy xattn
+
+# CPU Offload 模式 (推荐 block-size 4096)
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench_offload.py --max-len 65536 --block-size 4096
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench_offload.py --max-len 65536 --block-size 4096 --enable-xattn
+
+# CPU Offload 模式 (小 block size 测试)
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench_offload.py --max-len 65536 --block-size 256
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench_offload.py --max-len 65536 --block-size 256 --enable-xattn
+
+# 调整 XAttention 参数
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python bench_offload.py --enable-xattn --xattn-threshold 0.8 --xattn-stride 16

+
+## FlashInfer Merge 优化 (2026-01-28)
+
+将 Triton 实现的 `merge_attention_outputs` 替换为 FlashInfer 的 `cascade.merge_state`。
+
+### 性能对比 (Full Attention, block-size 4096)
+
+| 上下文 | Triton merge | FlashInfer merge | 提升 |
+|--------|--------------|------------------|------|
+| 32K | 4678 tok/s | 4717 tok/s | **+0.8%** |
+| 64K | 3331 tok/s | 3411 tok/s | **+2.4%** |
+| 128K | 2144 tok/s | 2178 tok/s | **+1.6%** |
+
+### 关键发现
+
+1. **端到端提升有限**（0.8% ~ 2.4%）：merge 操作不是主要瓶颈
+   - H2D 传输占主导（64K 传输 64GB）
+   - Attention 计算是另一主要耗时
+   - Merge 在总耗时中占比很小
+
+2. **Merge kernel 单独对比**（长序列时 FlashInfer 优势明显）：
+
+| seq_len | heads | Triton (ms) | FlashInfer (ms) | Speedup |
+|---------|-------|-------------|-----------------|---------|
+| 4096 | 32 | 0.129 | 0.087 | **1.49x** |
+| 8192 | 32 | 0.251 | 0.147 | **1.70x** |
+| 16384 | 32 | 0.499 | 0.274 | **1.82x** |
+
+3. **短序列 FlashInfer 反而慢**：格式转换开销（squeeze, transpose, contiguous）
+
+### 技术细节
+
+- **LSE 格式差异**：FlashInfer 使用 log2，flash_attn 使用 ln
+- **转换系数**：`LOG2_E = 1.4427`（ln → log2），`LN_2 = 0.6931`（log2 → ln）
+- **FlashInfer attention JIT 问题**：CUDA 版本兼容性问题，仅使用 merge_state
+
+### 代码位置
+
+- `nanovllm/ops/chunked_attention.py`: `merge_attention_outputs_flashinfer()`
+- `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py`: 3 处 import 更新
+- `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py`: 1 处 import 更新
+
+## 更新记录
+
+- 2026-01-28: **FlashInfer merge 替换 Triton merge**，端到端提升 0.8% ~ 2.4%
+- 2026-01-28: **estimate_block_size 优化后重新测试**，128K XAttention 反超 Full (+2.4%)
+- 2026-01-27: 添加 GPU-only vs Offload 对比，block size 影响分析
+- 2026-01-27: 初始测试，Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, A100 80GB

+- **Batch size**: Only batch_size=1 supported for block sparse mode
+- **Mask format**: `[batch, num_heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]` boolean tensor
+- **Input format**: `[total_seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]` (not batched)

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

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

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

+# CPU 调度延迟分析
+
+## 问题概述
+
+在分析 nsys profile 时发现，chunked attention pipeline 中存在大量的 **CPU 调度延迟**，导致 GPU 利用率显著下降。
+
+## 观察数据
+
+### 测试环境
+- GPU: NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB
+- 模型: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
+- 测试: RULER niah_single_1, 64K context
+- Profile 文件: `ruler_8slots_test.nsys-rep`
+- 时间段: 92.982s - 93.038s
+
+### Kernel 执行时间
+
+| Kernel | 典型执行时间 |
+|--------|-------------|
+| flash_fwd_kernel | ~138 μs |
+| H2D memcpy (2MB) | ~87 μs |
+| merge_lse_kernel | ~3.5 μs |
+| merge_output_kernel | ~34 μs |
+
+### 操作间隙分析
+
+从 cuda_gpu_trace 观察到的间隙：
+
+```
+Start (ms)     Dur (μs)   Gap (μs)   Type
+------------------------------------------------------------
+92984.680      138.3      378.3      flash_fwd_kernel     ← GAP!
+92985.051      86.8       232.9      H2D memcpy           ← GAP!
+92985.141      86.8       2.8        H2D memcpy
+92985.587      135.9      360.0      flash_fwd_kernel     ← GAP!
+92986.026      3.4        302.4      merge_lse            ← GAP!
+92986.164      33.5       135.0      merge_output         ← GAP!

+92986.816      137.9      268.2      flash_fwd_kernel     ← GAP!
+```
+
+### Flash Kernel 间隙分解
+
+| 间隙 | 总时间 | 有效工作时间 | 空闲时间 |
+|------|--------|-------------|---------|
+| Flash 1 → Flash 2 | 769 μs | ~174 μs (2x H2D) | ~595 μs (77%) |
+| Flash 2 → Flash 3 | 1092 μs | ~211 μs (merge + H2D) | ~881 μs (81%) |
+| Flash 3 → Flash 4 | 965 μs | ~211 μs (merge + H2D) | ~754 μs (78%) |
+
+**关键发现**: 每个 flash kernel 之间约 **77-81% 的时间是 CPU 调度空闲**。
+
+## 间隙来源分析
+
+### 1. CPU 调度延迟类型
+
+| 转换 | 典型延迟 | 原因 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| Kernel 结束 → 下一个 Kernel 开始 | 100-400 μs | CPU 准备参数、调用 CUDA driver |
+| Flash 结束 → H2D 开始 | ~233 μs | Python 代码执行 + CUDA launch |
+| H2D 结束 → Flash 开始 | ~360 μs | 同步等待 + kernel launch |
+| Flash 结束 → merge 开始 | ~302 μs | Python 代码执行 |
+
+### 2. 延迟产生的代码位置
+
+```python
+# full_policy.py: compute_chunked_prefill
+
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    # 1. 等待 H2D 完成 (同步点)
+    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(current_slot)  # ← 可能引入延迟
+
+    # 2. 获取 KV 数据
+    k_block, v_block = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(current_slot)
+
+    # 3. 调用 flash attention (kernel launch)
+    block_out, block_lse = flash_attn_with_kvcache(...)  # ← CPU 调度延迟
+
+    # 4. merge 操作
+    merge_output(...)  # ← CPU 调度延迟
+    merge_lse(...)     # ← CPU 调度延迟
+
+    # 5. 发起下一个 H2D (异步)
+    offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(next_slot, ...)  # ← CPU 调度延迟
+```
+
+### 3. 为什么 H2D 之间间隙小
+
+注意到连续的 H2D memcpy 之间间隙只有 ~2.7 μs，这是因为：
+- 它们在同一个 stream 上连续发起
+- CUDA driver 可以批量处理
+- 没有 Python 代码介入
+
+## GPU 利用率计算
+
+基于观察数据：
+
+| 指标 | 值 |
+|------|-----|
+| Flash kernel 平均执行时间 | 138 μs |
+| Flash kernel 平均间隔 | 942 μs |
+| Flash kernel GPU 利用率 | 138 / (138 + 942) = **12.8%** |
+
+如果消除 CPU 调度延迟（仅保留必要的 H2D + merge）：
+
+| 指标 | 值 |
+|------|-----|
+| 必要间隔 (2x H2D + merge) | ~211 μs |
+| 理论 GPU 利用率 | 138 / (138 + 211) = **39.5%** |
+
+**潜在提升**: 3x GPU 利用率
+
+## 优化方向
+
+### 1. CUDA Graph
+将整个 block 处理流程编译为 CUDA Graph，消除重复的 kernel launch 开销。
+
+```python
+# 伪代码
+graph = torch.cuda.CUDAGraph()
+with torch.cuda.graph(graph):
+    # 预录制 flash + merge 操作
+    block_out, block_lse = flash_attn_with_kvcache(...)
+    merge_output(...)
+    merge_lse(...)
+
+# 运行时只需 replay
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    graph.replay()  # 单次 launch，无 Python 介入
+```
+
+### 2. 自定义 Triton Kernel
+将 flash + merge 融合为单个 kernel，减少 kernel launch 次数。
+
+### 3. C++ Extension
+将 Python 循环移到 C++ 层，减少 Python 解释器开销。
+
+### 4. 流水线重叠优化
+确保 H2D 传输与前一个 block 的计算完全重叠：
+
+```
+Block 0: [H2D slot0] [Flash slot0] [merge]
+Block 1:            [H2D slot1]   [Flash slot1] [merge]
+Block 2:                         [H2D slot2]   [Flash slot2] [merge]
+```
+
+## 验证方法
+
+### 1. 使用 nsys 分析间隙
+
+```bash
+# 生成 profile
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --num-gpu-blocks 8
+
+# 查看 kernel trace
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_trace --format csv <file>.nsys-rep | \
+    awk -F',' 'NR>1 && $1 >= START && $1 <= END'
+```
+
+### 2. 计算间隙
+
+```python
+# 从 trace 数据计算
+prev_end = start + duration
+gap = next_start - prev_end
+```

+# CUDA Graph 内存机制指南
+
+本文档基于对 Qwen3-4B 模型的实际测试，详细分析 CUDA Graph 在 LLM 推理中的内存行为。
+
+## 概述
+
+CUDA Graph 通过捕获 GPU kernel 执行序列并重放来减少 CPU 开销，从而提升推理性能。本指南重点分析其内存特性。
+
+## 性能提升
+
+| 模式 | Decode 吞吐量 | 说明 |
+|------|--------------|------|
+| Eager | ~25 tok/s | 每次推理重新调度 kernel |
+| CUDA Graph | ~70 tok/s | 重放预录制的 kernel 序列 |
+| **加速比** | **2.80x** | |
+
+## 内存阶段分析
+
+基于 Qwen3-4B (bf16) 在 RTX 3090 上的测试结果：
+
+### 各阶段内存变化
+
+| 阶段 | 内存 (MB) | 增量 | 说明 |
+|------|-----------|------|------|
+| 模型加载 | 7672 | +7672 | 模型权重 |
+| StaticCache 分配 | 7816 | +144 | **主要开销** |
+| Warmup (3次) | 7825 | +8 | 激活值缓存 |
+| Graph 捕获 | 7833 | +8 | 存储 kernel 序列 |
+| Graph Replay | 7833 | **0** | 零额外分配 |
+
+### 关键发现
+
+1. **Graph 捕获开销很小**：仅约 8 MB，用于存储 kernel 调用序列
+
+2. **StaticCache 是主要开销**：
+   ```
+   size = num_layers × 2 × batch_size × num_kv_heads × max_cache_len × head_dim × dtype_size
+   ```
+   - Qwen3-4B (1024 tokens): 36 × 2 × 1 × 8 × 1024 × 128 × 2 = **144 MB**
+
+3. **Graph Replay 零分配**：所有张量地址在 capture 时已固定，replay 只重放 kernel
+
+## Cache 长度与内存关系
+
+| Cache 长度 | 总开销 | 每 1K tokens |
+|------------|--------|--------------|
+| 256 | 53 MB | 206 MB |
+| 512 | 89 MB | 174 MB |
+| 1024 | 161 MB | 157 MB |
+| 2048 | 305 MB | 149 MB |
+| 4096 | 593 MB | 145 MB |
+
+内存开销与 cache 长度近似线性关系，每 1K tokens 约需 145-160 MB。
+
+## CUDA Graph 工作原理
+
+### 核心要求：固定内存地址
+
+CUDA Graph 要求所有张量在 capture 时地址固定，之后只能通过 `copy_()` 更新值：
+
+```python
+# 分配固定地址的张量
+static_input_ids = torch.zeros(batch_size, 1, dtype=torch.long, device=device)
+static_cache_position = torch.tensor([0], dtype=torch.long, device=device)
+
+# Capture 时使用这些张量
+with torch.cuda.graph(graph):
+    outputs = model(input_ids=static_input_ids, ...)
+
+# Replay 时通过 copy_() 更新值（地址不变）
+static_input_ids.copy_(new_token)       # 更新输入
+static_cache_position.fill_(position)   # 更新位置
+graph.replay()                          # 重放
+```
+
+### StaticCache vs DynamicCache
+
+| 特性 | DynamicCache | StaticCache |
+|------|--------------|-------------|
+| 内存分配 | 按需增长 | 预分配固定大小 |
+| 地址稳定性 | 不稳定 | 稳定 |
+| CUDA Graph 兼容 | ❌ | ✅ |
+| 内存效率 | 高（按需） | 低（预分配） |
+
+### 典型工作流程
+
+```
+1. Prefill (Eager)
+   └── 使用 DynamicCache 处理变长输入
+
+2. 创建 StaticCache
+   └── 预分配 max_cache_len 大小的缓存
+
+3. 复制 Prefill KV 到 StaticCache
+   └── 将 DynamicCache 内容拷贝到固定地址
+
+4. Warmup (3次)

+
+## 多 Batch Size Graph 的内存问题
+
+如果为多个 batch size 分别捕获 graph（如 nanovllm 的设计），内存会快速增长：
+
+| Batch Size | StaticCache (1024 tokens) | 累计 |
+|------------|---------------------------|------|
+| 1 | 144 MB | 144 MB |
+| 2 | 288 MB | 432 MB |
+| 4 | 576 MB | 1,008 MB |
+| 8 | 1,152 MB | 2,160 MB |
+| 16 | 2,304 MB | 4,464 MB |
+| ... | ... | ... |
+
+这是因为每个 batch size 需要独立的 StaticCache。实际系统（如 nanovllm）使用 PagedAttention 共享 KV cache 来避免此问题。
+
+## 测试脚本
+
+提供了测试脚本用于验证以上结论：
+
+```bash
+# 基本内存分析
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_cudagraph_memory.py
+
+# 指定 cache 长度
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_cudagraph_memory.py --max-cache-len 2048
+
+# 测试 cache 长度缩放
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_cudagraph_memory.py --test-scaling
+```
+
+性能对比演示：
+
+```bash
+# Eager vs CUDA Graph 性能对比
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/data/test_cudagraph_demo.py --mode both
+```
+
+## 总结
+
+| 项目 | 结论 |
+|------|------|
+| 性能提升 | ~2.8x decode 吞吐量 |
+| Graph 捕获开销 | ~8 MB（很小） |
+| 主要内存开销 | StaticCache（与 cache_len 成正比） |
+| Replay 内存 | 零额外分配 |

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

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

+# 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")
+```

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

+
+### Triton Kernel 内部分析
+
+`softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel` 中的关键约束：
+
+```python
+# 每个 thread block 处理的数据
+offs_q = tl.arange(0, block_size)  # block_size 个元素
+m_i = tl.zeros([block_size], dtype=tl.float32)  # 寄存器分配
+
+# reshape 操作
+X = tl.reshape(X, (block_size, segment_size // block_size, block_size))
+# 当 block_size=512, segment_size=512 时 → (512, 1, 512) 的 3D tensor
+```
+
+当 `block_size` 过大时：
+- 每个 thread block 需要更多寄存器
+- `tl.arange(0, block_size)` 生成更大的向量
+- reshape 操作的内存访问模式变差
+
+## 优化建议
+
+### 方案 1: 固定 estimate block_size
+
+在 `select_blocks` 中使用固定的小 block_size 进行估计：
+
+```python
+# 建议修改
+ESTIMATE_BLOCK_SIZE = 1024  # 或 512，而非 ctx.block_size
+
+reshaped_block_size = ESTIMATE_BLOCK_SIZE // self.stride  # 128
+```
+
+**优点**：简单直接，预期提升 15x
+**缺点**：estimate 的 block 粒度与 CPU block 不一致，需要映射
+
+### 方案 2: 两级 block 结构
+
+- 外层使用 `kvcache_block_size` (4096) 管理 CPU blocks
+- 内层使用 `estimate_block_size` (1024) 进行估计
+- 估计结果聚合回 CPU block 粒度
+
+### 方案 3: 自适应 block_size
+
+根据 context length 动态选择 estimate block_size：
+
+| Context Length | Recommended block_size |
+|----------------|------------------------|
+| < 16K | 512 |
+| 16K - 64K | 1024 |
+| > 64K | 1024 |
+
+## 与实际 Profiling 的对比
+
+### Nsys Profiling 数据 (64K context, block_size=4096)
+
+| 阶段 | 时间占比 | 说明 |
+|------|----------|------|
+| softmax_fuse_block_sum | **48.1%** | 最后一个 chunk |
+| flash_fwd_kernel | 30.7% | 实际 attention 计算 |
+| flat_group_gemm | 3.5% | estimate GEMM |
+
+### 预期优化效果
+
+如果将 estimate block_size 从 4096 改为 1024：
+
+| 指标 | 当前 (4096) | 优化后 (1024) | 提升 |
+|------|-------------|---------------|------|
+| softmax kernel | 95.32ms | 6.01ms | **15.85x** |
+| estimate 阶段占比 | 48.1% | ~5% | 显著降低 |
+| 总体 prefill 时间 | ~2s (最后chunk) | ~1.1s | ~1.8x |

+使用小的 `estimate_block_size=1024` 计算细粒度 block_sums，然后聚合到 CPU block 级别 (4096)。
+
+### 数学等价性
+
+```
+方案1 (block_size=4096): softmax_fuse_block_sum → [1, heads, 1, 1]
+方案2 (block_size=1024): softmax_fuse_block_sum → [1, heads, 4, 4] → sum → [1, heads]
+
+验证结果: Max difference = 0.0 ✅ 完全等价
+```
+
+### 验证代码
+
+`tests/test_hierarchical_estimate.py` - 纯 torch + xattn kernels 实现
+
+### 性能提升
+
+| 指标 | 当前 (4096) | 优化后 (1024) | 提升 |
+|------|-------------|---------------|------|
+| softmax kernel | 12.07 ms | 0.29 ms | **41x** |
+| 端到端 estimate | 95 ms | ~6 ms | **15x** |
+
+## ⚠️ 选择策略变更
+
+**重要**: 分级求和方案使用新的选择策略：
+
+| 特性 | 原策略 (mask + voting) | 新策略 (score + threshold) |
+|------|------------------------|----------------------------|
+| 输入 | `[batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]` | `[batch, heads, num_cpu_blocks]` |
+| 选择粒度 | Per-q-block | Per-chunk |
+| 聚合方式 | majority voting | threshold on scores |
+
+新策略更简洁，直接利用分级求和产生的 score，避免了 mask 生成和 voting 的复杂逻辑。
+
+## 实现状态 ✅ (2026-01-28)
+
+### 已实现
+
+分级求和方案已在 `xattn_bsa.py` 中实现：
+
+```python
+class XAttentionBSAPolicy:
+    def __init__(self, ..., estimate_block_size: int = 1024):
+        self.estimate_block_size = estimate_block_size  # 新参数
+
+    def select_blocks(self, ...):
+        # Step 2: Hierarchical softmax_fuse_block_sum
+        reshaped_est_bs = estimate_bs // self.stride  # 1024/8 = 128
+        block_sums_fine = softmax_fuse_block_sum(attn_scores, reshaped_est_bs, ...)
+
+        # Step 3: Aggregate to CPU block level
+        block_sums_coarse = block_sums_fine.view(..., num_cpu_blocks, ratio).sum(dim=-1)
+        cpu_block_scores = block_sums_coarse.sum(dim=2)
+
+        # Step 4: Score + threshold selection (replaces mask + voting)
+        scores_per_block = cpu_block_scores.mean(dim=(0, 1))
+        # ... cumulative threshold selection
+```
+
+### 实测结果 (Nsys Profiling)
+
+| Kernel | 优化前 | 优化后 | 改进 |
+|--------|--------|--------|------|
+| softmax_fuse_block_sum 占比 | 48.1% | **1.1%** | **44x** |
+| softmax_fuse_block_sum 平均时间 | ~2ms | 489us | **4x** |
+
+### 端到端性能 (32K context)
+
+| 指标 | FULL Policy | XATTN Policy | 改进 |
+|------|-------------|--------------|------|
+| Prefill throughput | 3511 tok/s | 3695 tok/s | +5% |
+| TTFT | 9327 ms | 8863 ms | -5% |
+
+## 结论
+
+当前 estimate 阶段使用全局 `kvcache_block_size=4096` 导致 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` kernel 性能处于最差点。通过将 estimate block_size 改为 512-1024，可以获得 **15x** 的性能提升，显著降低 estimate 阶段的开销。
+
+**⚠️ 重要变更**: 选择策略从 `mask + majority voting` 改为 `score + threshold`，更简洁且更直接。

+# GPU-Only XAttention 指南
+
+本文档介绍 GPU-only 模式下 XAttention BSA 的实现、内存优化和性能分析。
+
+## 概述
+
+GPU-only 模式下，所有 KV cache 存储在 GPU 上，无需 CPU offload。XAttention 通过稀疏注意力加速 prefill 阶段。
+
+### 执行路径对比
+
+| 模式 | Prefill 方法 | Decode 方法 | KV 存储 |
+|------|-------------|-------------|---------|
+| GPU-only Full | `compute_prefill()` | `compute_decode()` | GPU |
+| GPU-only XAttn | `compute_prefill()` | `compute_decode()` | GPU |
+| CPU Offload | `compute_chunked_prefill()` | `compute_chunked_decode()` | CPU + GPU |
+
+## 架构设计
+
+### SparsePolicy 接口
+
+```python
+class SparsePolicy:
+    # GPU-only 方法
+    def compute_prefill(self, q, k, v, ...) -> Tensor
+    def compute_decode(self, q, k_cache, v_cache, ...) -> Tensor
+
+    # CPU Offload 方法
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, q, k, v, ...) -> Tensor
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, q, ...) -> Tensor
+
+    # 初始化方法
+    def initialize(self, num_layers, ...) -> None           # CPU offload metadata
+    def alloc_policy_metadata(self, num_heads, ...) -> None  # GPU-only buffers

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

+净节省:             1215 ms  (42% attention 时间)
+```
+
+## CUDA Graph 限制
+
+### 为什么 Prefill 不能用 CUDA Graph
+
+CUDA Graph 要求所有操作在 capture 时确定：
+
+| 必须固定 | Prefill 的情况 |
+|---------|---------------|
+| Tensor 形状 | seq_len 可变 (1 ~ max_model_len) |
+| Kernel grid | 依赖 seq_len |
+| 内存地址 | 中间 tensor 大小变化 |
+
+```python
+# 不同请求的 seq_len 不同
+request_1: prefill(seq_len=1024)   # grid=(8, 32, 1)
+request_2: prefill(seq_len=32768)  # grid=(256, 32, 1)
+```
+
+### Decode 可以用 CUDA Graph
+
+```python
+# Decode 每次只处理 1 token
+q: [batch_size, 1, heads, dim]  # 形状固定
+```
+
+nanovllm 为每个 batch_size 预先 capture 一个 graph：
+
+```python
+def capture_cudagraph(self):
+    for batch_size in [1, 2, 4, 8, ...]:
+        with torch.cuda.graph(g):
+            self.run_model(dummy_input, is_prefill=False)
+        self.graphs[batch_size] = g
+```
+
+### Nsys Profile 结果
+
+```
+XAttention 32K Prefill:
+  Total kernels: 41,904
+  Non-graph: 41,904 (100%)
+  Graph: 0
+
+Full 32K Prefill:
+  Total kernels: 35,308
+  Non-graph: 35,308 (100%)
+  Graph: 0
+```
+
+**两者都是 100% NON-GRAPH**，这是 prefill 的本质特性。
+
+## Profiling 工具
+
+### 使用 profile.sh
+
+```bash
+# XAttention 32K
+bash scripts/profile.sh --max-len 32768 --policy xattn
+
+# Full 32K
+bash scripts/profile.sh --max-len 32768 --policy full
+
+# 64K (需要降低 gpu-util)
+bash scripts/profile.sh --max-len 65536 --policy xattn --gpu-util 0.7
+```
+
+### 分析 nsys 结果
+
+```bash
+# 查看 kernel 统计
+nsys stats --report cuda_gpu_kern_sum results/nsys/<file>.nsys-rep
+
+# 用 sqlite 查询详细数据
+sqlite3 results/nsys/<file>.sqlite "
+SELECT
+    (SELECT value FROM StringIds WHERE id = shortName) as kernel,
+    COUNT(*) as count,
+    SUM(end-start)/1e6 as total_ms
+FROM CUPTI_ACTIVITY_KIND_KERNEL
+GROUP BY shortName
+ORDER BY total_ms DESC
+LIMIT 10
+"
+```
+
+## 使用指南
+
+### 启用 XAttention GPU-only
+
+```python
+from nanovllm import LLM
+from nanovllm.config import SparsePolicyType
+
+llm = LLM(
+    model_path,
+    max_model_len=32768,
+    sparse_policy=SparsePolicyType.XATTN_BSA,
+    gpu_memory_utilization=0.9,  # 64K 时可能需要降低
+)
+```
+
+### 命令行测试
+
+```bash
+# bench.py
+python bench.py --max-len 32768 --policy xattn
+
+# 64K 需要降低 gpu-util
+python bench.py --max-len 65536 --policy xattn --gpu-util 0.7
+```
+
+### 最佳实践
+
+1. **32K 及以下**: 使用默认 `gpu_memory_utilization=0.9`
+2. **64K**: 降低到 `gpu_memory_utilization=0.7`
+3. **Decode**: XAttention 自动 fallback 到 FullAttentionPolicy
+4. **Paged KV Cache**: 当 `block_tables` 存在时自动 fallback 到 flash_attn

+
+Q chunk 0:  merged 16 KV chunks → attn_sum shape=[1, 32, 32, 512]
+Q chunk 1:  merged 16 KV chunks → attn_sum shape=[1, 32, 32, 512]
+...
+Q chunk 15: merged 16 KV chunks → attn_sum shape=[1, 32, 32, 512]
+```
+
+每个 Q chunk 需要合并 16 个 KV chunks 的 softmax stats，充分验证了 `merge_softmax_stats` 在大规模 chunk 合并场景下的正确性。

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

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

+| sparse_policy | XATTN_BSA |
+| enable_cpu_offload | true |
+| max_model_len | 1048576 (1M) |
+
+### 错误位置
+
+```
+File "nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py", line 246, in alloc_policy_metadata
+    self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 问题分析
+
+### 内存分配分析
+
+`alloc_policy_metadata()` 在 KV cache 初始化时分配以下 buffer：
+
+| Buffer | 用途 | 大小 (GLM-4, 1M seq) |
+|--------|------|----------------------|
+| `_prefill_mask_buffer` | BSA mask | ~32 MB |
+| `_m_partial_buffer` | KV chunking m stats | ~32 MB |
+| `_l_partial_buffer` | KV chunking l stats | ~32 MB |
+| `_block_sums_buffer` | Block sums | ~64 MB |
+| **`_k_expanded`** | GQA K 扩展 | **~8 GB** |
+| **`_v_expanded`** | GQA V 扩展 | **~8 GB** |
+
+### GQA Buffer 计算
+
+```python
+shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
+     = (1, 32, 1048576, 128)
+
+size = 1 × 32 × 1048576 × 128 × 2 bytes (fp16)
+     = 8,589,934,592 bytes
+     = 8 GB per buffer
+```
+
+### 根本原因
+
+1. **设计意图冲突**：`_k_expanded` 和 `_v_expanded` 的文档注释明确说是 "for GPU-only mode"
+2. **条件检查不完整**：代码只检查了 `num_heads == num_kv_heads` 来跳过分配，没有检查 offload 模式
+3. **Offload 模式不需要这些 buffer**：`compute_chunked_prefill()` 使用不同的计算路径，不依赖预分配的 GQA buffer
+
+### 相关代码
+
+```python
+# xattn_bsa.py:238-247
+# Only allocate GQA expansion buffers if GQA (num_heads != num_kv_heads)
+if num_heads == num_kv_heads:
+    logger.info(f"[XAttn] No GQA expansion needed (num_heads == num_kv_heads = {num_heads})")
+    return  # <-- 只检查了 GQA，没检查 offload 模式
+
+# Shape: [1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim] for xattn_estimate format
+shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
+self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)  # <-- OOM here
+self._v_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 解决思路
+
+### 方案 1: 在 Offload 模式下跳过 GQA Buffer 分配 (推荐)
+
+在 `alloc_policy_metadata()` 中添加 offload 模式检查：
+
+```python
+def alloc_policy_metadata(
+    self,
+    num_heads: int,
+    num_kv_heads: int,
+    head_dim: int,
+    max_seq_len: int,
+    dtype: torch.dtype,
+    device: torch.device,
+    enable_cpu_offload: bool = False,  # <-- 新增参数
+) -> None:
+    # ... 分配 mask buffer 和 KV chunking buffers (offload 模式需要)
+
+    # Skip GQA buffers in offload mode
+    # Chunked prefill uses compute_chunked_prefill() which doesn't need these
+    if enable_cpu_offload:
+        logger.info("[XAttn] Offload mode: skipping GQA expansion buffers")
+        return
+
+    # GPU-only mode: pre-allocate GQA buffers for compute_prefill()
+    if num_heads == num_kv_heads:
+        logger.info(f"[XAttn] No GQA expansion needed")
+        return
+
+    shape = (1, num_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim)
+    self._k_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
+    self._v_expanded = torch.empty(shape, dtype=dtype, device=device)
+```
+
+**需要修改的文件**：
+1. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py` - `alloc_policy_metadata()` 方法
+2. `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` - 调用 `alloc_policy_metadata()` 时传入 `enable_cpu_offload`
+
+### 方案 2: 延迟分配 (Lazy Allocation)
+
+只在 `compute_prefill()` 首次调用时分配 GQA buffer，offload 模式走 `compute_chunked_prefill()` 不会触发分配。
+
+```python
+def compute_prefill(self, ...):
+    # Lazy allocation on first use
+    if self._k_expanded is None and num_heads != num_kv_heads:
+        self._allocate_gqa_buffers(...)
+    ...
+```
+
+### 方案 3: 基于 chunk_size 限制 buffer 大小
+
+不预分配 max_seq_len 大小，而是只分配 chunk_size 大小：
+
+```python
+# 原来: max_seq_len (1M tokens) -> 8 GB
+# 修改后: chunk_size (16K tokens) -> ~130 MB
+buffer_len = self.chunk_size if enable_cpu_offload else max_seq_len
+shape = (1, num_heads, buffer_len, head_dim)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 验证方法
+
+修复后运行以下命令验证：
+
+```bash
+cd /home/zijie/Code/COMPASS
+GPULIST=0 ./scripts/run_ruler.sh glm4-9b-xattn-nanovllm synthetic xattn --task niah_single_1
+```
+
+预期结果：
+- 不再出现 8GB allocation 的 OOM 错误
+- 模型正常加载并完成推理

+# 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())`

+# Memory Communication Benchmark
+
+GPU-CPU 通信量测试结果，对比 Full Policy 和 XAttention BSA Policy。
+
+## 测试环境
+
+- **模型**: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
+- **GPU**: RTX 3090 (24GB)
+- **配置**: `num_gpu_blocks=4`, `block_size=1024`, `enable_cpu_offload=True`
+- **XAttention 参数**: `threshold=0.95`, `stride=8`
+
+## 32K 上下文测试结果
+
+| 指标 | Full Policy | XAttention | 比率 |
+|------|-------------|------------|------|
+| **Prefill H2D** | 66.57 GB | 111.12 GB | **1.67x** |
+| Prefill D2H | 4.29 GB | 4.29 GB | 1.00x |
+| TTFT | 8473 ms | 10367 ms | 1.22x |
+
+### XAttention Block Selection (32K)
+
+| 指标 | 数值 |
+|------|------|
+| 可用 blocks | 465 |
+| 选中 blocks | 374 |
+| 选择密度 | 80.4% |
+
+## 64K 上下文测试结果
+
+| 指标 | Full Policy | XAttention | 比率 |
+|------|-------------|------------|------|
+| **Prefill H2D** | 262.13 GB | 386.62 GB | **1.48x** |
+| Prefill D2H | 8.46 GB | 8.46 GB | 1.00x |
+| Decode H2D (32 tokens) | 262.13 GB | 262.13 GB | 1.00x |
+| TTFT | 27081 ms | 33634 ms | 1.24x |
+
+## 通信量比率对比 (K-only 优化前)
+
+| 上下文长度 | XAttn/Full Prefill H2D 比率 |
+|------------|----------------------------|
+| 32K | 1.67x |
+| 64K | 1.48x |
+
+### 分析 (优化前)
+
+1. **XAttention 通信量增加原因**：
+   - Estimate 阶段：加载 **100%** 历史 blocks 的 **K+V**（用于 attention score 估计）
+   - Compute 阶段：加载 **选中的** blocks（约 70-80%）
+   - 理论比率：`1 + selection_density`
+
+2. **64K 比率更低的原因**：
+   - 更长上下文时，attention 分布更稀疏
+   - XAttention 的 block 选择更有效（选中比例更低）
+   - First/last block 强制包含的影响相对减小
+
+3. **Decode 阶段通信量相同**：
+   - XAttention 仅支持 prefill 阶段
+   - Decode 阶段 fallback 到 Full Policy
+
+---
+
+## K-only 优化 (2026-01-28)
+
+### 优化原理
+
+XAttention 的 `select_blocks` 估计阶段只需要 K 来计算 attention scores：
+```python
+# flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape 只使用 Q 和 K
+attn_scores = flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(Q, K_chunk, stride, ...)
+```
+
+V 在估计阶段完全不使用，但之前代码会同时加载 K 和 V，造成 50% 通信量浪费。
+
+### 优化实现
+
+1. **新增方法**: `OffloadEngine.load_k_only_to_slot_layer()` - 只加载 K
+2. **修改 select_blocks**: 使用只加载 K 的新方法
+
+### 优化后测试结果
+
+| 上下文 | Full Policy | XAttn (优化前) | XAttn (优化后) | 优化节省 |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|---------------|---------|
+| 32K | 66.57 GB | 111.12 GB | **79.76 GB** | **28.2%** |
+| 64K | 262.13 GB | 386.62 GB | **258.78 GB** | **33.1%** |
+
+### XAttn/Full 比率变化
+
+| 上下文 | 优化前比率 | 优化后比率 |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|
+| 32K | 1.67x | **1.20x** |
+| 64K | 1.48x | **0.99x** |
+
+### 结论
+
+优化后，64K 上下文的 XAttention 通信量与 Full Policy 基本持平 (0.99x)，
+而 32K 也从 1.67x 降到 1.20x。这说明估计阶段的 K-only 优化非常有效
+

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

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

+# Observer Architecture
+
+nanovllm 的 Observer 架构用于统计推理过程中的关键指标，采用类变量（class variable）模式实现全局状态管理。
+
+## 架构概览
+
+```
+Observer (基类)
+├── InferenceObserver - 推理时间指标 (TTFT, TPOT)
+└── MemoryObserver - 内存传输统计 (H2D, D2H, D2D)
+```
+
+## 设计原则
+
+### 1. 类变量模式
+
+所有 Observer 使用类变量（而非实例变量）存储状态：
+
+```python
+class Observer:
+    """Observer 基类"""
+    _enabled: bool = True  # 类变量，控制是否启用
+
+class InferenceObserver(Observer):
+    ttft: int = 0          # 类变量，全局共享
+    tpot: int = 0
+    ttft_start: int = 0
+    tpot_start: int = 0
+```
+
+**优点**：
+- 无需实例化，任何地方都可以直接访问
+- 避免跨模块传递 observer 实例
+- 适合全局统计场景
+
+### 2. 启用/禁用控制
+
+每个 Observer 可独立启用/禁用：
+
+```python
+# 启用 MemoryObserver
+MemoryObserver._enabled = True
+
+# 禁用后，record_* 方法不会记录
+MemoryObserver._enabled = False
+```
+
+### 3. 阶段分离
+
+MemoryObserver 支持 prefill/decode 阶段分离统计：
+
+```python
+@classmethod
+def record_h2d(cls, num_bytes: int, is_prefill: bool = True) -> None:
+    if not cls._enabled:
+        return
+    cls.h2d_bytes += num_bytes
+    cls.h2d_count += 1
+    if is_prefill:
+        cls.prefill_h2d_bytes += num_bytes
+    else:
+        cls.decode_h2d_bytes += num_bytes
+```
+
+## Observer 实现
+
+### InferenceObserver
+
+**位置**: `nanovllm/utils/observer.py`
+
+**统计指标**：
+| 指标 | 说明 | 单位 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `ttft` | Time To First Token | 纳秒 |
+| `tpot` | Time Per Output Token | 纳秒 |
+| `ttft_start` | TTFT 计时开始点 | 纳秒 |
+| `tpot_start` | TPOT 计时开始点 | 纳秒 |
+
+**统计位置**：
+| 位置 | 代码 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `scheduler.py:add()` | `InferenceObserver.ttft_start = perf_counter_ns()` | 开始计时 |
+| `llm_engine.py:step()` | `InferenceObserver.ttft = ... - ttft_start` | Prefill 完成后计算 TTFT |
+| `llm_engine.py:step()` | `InferenceObserver.tpot = ... - tpot_start` | Decode 时计算 TPOT |
+
+### MemoryObserver
+
+**位置**: `nanovllm/utils/memory_observer.py`
+
+**统计指标**：
+| 指标 | 说明 |
+|------|------|
+| `h2d_bytes` / `h2d_count` | Host to Device 传输量/次数 |
+| `d2h_bytes` / `d2h_count` | Device to Host 传输量/次数 |
+| `d2d_bytes` / `d2d_count` | Device to Device 复制量/次数 |
+| `prefill_h2d_bytes` / `prefill_d2h_bytes` | Prefill 阶段 H2D/D2H |
+| `decode_h2d_bytes` / `decode_d2h_bytes` | Decode 阶段 H2D/D2H |
+
+**统计位置** (均在 `offload_engine.py`)：
+
+| 方法 | 传输类型 | 说明 |
+|------|----------|------|
+| `load_to_slot_layer()` | H2D | 从 CPU 加载 block 到 GPU slot |
+| `load_block_sample_from_cpu()` | H2D | 采样加载（Quest） |
+| `load_block_full_from_cpu()` | H2D | 完整加载 block |
+| `offload_slot_layer_to_cpu()` | D2H | GPU slot 卸载到 CPU |
+| `offload_prefill_buffer_async()` | D2H | Prefill buffer 异步卸载 |
+| `write_to_prefill_buffer()` | D2D | 写入 prefill buffer |
+| `write_to_decode_buffer()` | D2D | 写入 decode buffer |
+
+**重置位置**：
+| 位置 | 代码 |
+|------|------|
+| `llm_engine.py:generate()` | `MemoryObserver.complete_reset()` |
+| `llm_engine.py:generate()` | `InferenceObserver.complete_reset()` |
+
+## 使用示例
+
+### 1. 启用并统计
+
+```python
+from nanovllm.utils.memory_observer import MemoryObserver
+
+# 启用统计
+MemoryObserver._enabled = True
+
+# 运行推理
+outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
+
+# 获取结果
+print(f"Prefill H2D: {MemoryObserver.prefill_h2d_bytes / 1e9:.2f} GB")
+print(f"Decode H2D: {MemoryObserver.decode_h2d_bytes / 1e9:.2f} GB")
+
+# 或使用 print_summary
+MemoryObserver.print_summary()
+```
+
+### 2. 在 bench_offload.py 中
+
+```python
+from nanovllm.utils.memory_observer import MemoryObserver
+
+# 启用
+MemoryObserver._enabled = True
+
+# benchmark 结束后打印
+def print_memory_stats():
+    fmt = MemoryObserver._fmt_bytes
+    print(f"[Memory] Prefill H2D: {fmt(MemoryObserver.prefill_h2d_bytes)}")
+    print(f"         Decode  H2D: {fmt(MemoryObserver.decode_h2d_bytes)}")
+```
+
+### 3. 获取结构化数据
+
+```python
+summary = MemoryObserver.get_summary()
+# {
+#     "total": {"h2d_bytes": ..., "d2h_bytes": ..., "d2d_bytes": ...},
+#     "prefill": {"h2d_bytes": ..., "d2h_bytes": ...},
+#     "decode": {"h2d_bytes": ..., "d2h_bytes": ...}
+# }
+```
+
+## 添加新 Observer
+
+1. 继承 `Observer` 基类
+2. 定义类变量存储统计数据
+3. 实现 `record_*` 方法（需检查 `_enabled`）
+4. 实现 `complete_reset()` 方法
+5. 在相关代码位置添加 `record_*` 调用
+6. 在 `llm_engine.py:generate()` 中添加 reset 调用
+
+```python
+from nanovllm.utils.observer import Observer
+
+class MyObserver(Observer):
+    _enabled: bool = False
+    my_metric: int = 0
+
+    @classmethod
+    def record_event(cls, value: int) -> None:
+        if not cls._enabled:
+            return
+        cls.my_metric += value
+
+    @classmethod
+    def complete_reset(cls) -> None:
+        cls.my_metric = 0
+```

+# 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)

+# RULER 32K Chunked Offload Accuracy Issue
+
+**Status**: ✅ **RESOLVED** (Last Updated: 2026-01-21)
+**Branch**: `tzj/minference`
+**Severity**: RESOLVED - State leakage fixed
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 修复完成
+
+### 问题根因
+
+**连续请求间的 CPU KV Cache 状态泄露**
+
+`OffloadEngine.reset()` 清除了 GPU buffers 但**没有清除 CPU cache**，导致前一个请求的 KV cache 数据残留在 CPU 内存中，污染后续请求。
+
+### 修复实施 (2026-01-21)
+
+#### Fix 1: CPU Cache 清理
+**文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
+
+```python
+def reset(self) -> None:
+    # 清除 GPU buffers (原有)
+    self.k_cache_gpu.zero_()
+    self.v_cache_gpu.zero_()
+    self.decode_k_buffer.zero_()
+    self.decode_v_buffer.zero_()
+    self.prefill_k_buffer.zero_()
+    self.prefill_v_buffer.zero_()
+
+    # 🔧 新增：清除 CPU cache (关键修复)
+    self.k_cache_cpu.zero_()
+    self.v_cache_cpu.zero_()
+
+    self.pending_events.clear()
+```
+
+#### Fix 2: Decode 状态跟踪清理
+**文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`
+
+```python
+def deallocate(self, seq: Sequence) -> None:
+    # ... release blocks ...
+    seq.num_cached_tokens = 0
+    seq.block_table.clear()
+
+    # 🔧 新增：清理 decode 位置跟踪
+    self.clear_decode_tracking(seq)
+
+    if self.offload_engine is not None:
+        self.offload_engine.reset()
+```
+

+## 历史问题记录
+
+以下是原始问题分析，保留作为参考。
+
+### Problem (Original)
+
+When running RULER benchmark with 32K context length using the chunked offload mechanism in `tzj/minference` branch, accuracy degradation is observed compared to the `xattn_stride8` baseline.
+
+**Note**: An error is counted when the expected answer is **NOT contained** in the model's output. If the expected answer appears anywhere in the output, it's considered correct.
+
+### Error Statistics (Corrected)
+
+| Task | Total Samples | Errors | Error Rate |
+|------|--------------|--------|------------|
+| niah_single_1 | 100 | 19 | 19% |
+| niah_single_2 | 100 | 23 | 23% |
+| niah_single_3 | 100 | 8 | **8%** |
+| niah_multikey_1 | 100 | 16 | 16% |
+| niah_multikey_2 | 100 | 30 | 30% |
+| niah_multikey_3 | 100 | 24 | **24%** |
+| **TOTAL** | **600** | **120** | **20%** |
+
+### Critical Failure Pattern
+
+**niah_multikey_2** shows the highest error rate at **30%**:
+- Many samples show pattern loops and repetitions ("is:", digit patterns)
+- Suggests systematic chunk boundary handling issues
+
+**niah_single_3** and **niah_multikey_3** have much lower error rates than initially reported:
+- niah_single_3: Only 8 errors (not 54)
+- niah_multikey_3: Only 24 errors (not 54)
+- Most UUID samples were correctly identified despite minor formatting differences
+
+### Error Examples
+
+#### Type 1: Corrupted Number Output

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

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

+## Multikey 任务失败分析 (单样本测试)
+
+### 失败样本特征
+
+单样本测试中 multikey 任务的失败**不是**状态泄露，而是**模型检索能力问题**。
+
+#### 错误类型
+
+| 类型 | 示例 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| **检索错误 key** | Expected `5833597`, Got `8617381` | 返回了上下文中另一个 key 的 value |
+| **UUID 检索错误** | Expected `c73ed342-...`, Got `1d28b88b-...` | 返回了错误 key 对应的 UUID |
+
+#### multikey_2 失败样本详情 (单样本测试)
+
+| Sample | Expected | Got | 分析 |
+|--------|----------|-----|------|
+| 2 | `1535573` | `8651665` | 错误 key |
+| 12 | `4641400` | `9390530` | 错误 key |
+| 19 | `8591874` | `3853628` | 错误 key |
+| 50 | `2318630` | `7780552` | 错误 key |
+| 66 | `1926587` | `9249734` | 错误 key |
+| 85 | `1253265` | `3263480` | 错误 key |
+| 86 | `7772887` | `3762547` | 错误 key |
+| 89 | `2266721` | `5873220` | 错误 key |
+| 98 | (未记录) | (未记录) | - |
+
+#### multikey_3 失败样本详情 (单样本测试)
+
+| Sample | Expected | Got | 分析 |
+|--------|----------|-----|------|
+| 11 | `c73ed342-6523-...` | `1d28b88b-b6a8-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
+| 18 | `87b8a762-1d1f-...` | `429a6676-5295-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
+| 23 | `ed344bfe-983f-...` | `aec43163-061a-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
+| 35 | `ac8a317b-a6bb-...` | `d2f22889-5b72-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |

+| 86 | `68c49603-1d17-...` | `aef58e2e-9e99-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
+| 93 | `74651292-5664-...` | `4546dd56-fe88-...` | 错误 key 的 UUID |
+
+### 关键发现
+
+1. **格式正确**: 失败样本的输出格式完全正确（7位数字或UUID）
+2. **合法 value**: 输出的是上下文中存在的另一个 key-value 对的 value
+3. **确定性失败**: 同一样本多次测试返回相同的错误值
+4. **模型能力边界**: 这是多 key 检索任务的模型能力上限，~91% 准确率符合预期
+

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

+## 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`
+

+
+## Ring Buffer Pipeline
+
+The ring buffer pipeline (`_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline`) loads blocks one by one using GPU ring buffer slots. This approach is memory-efficient and works well for both short and long sequences.
+
+```
+Slot[0]: Block A ──> Compute ──> Block C ──> Compute
+Slot[1]: Block B ──> Compute ──> Block D ──> Compute
+```
+
+**Advantages**:
+- Memory efficient (only needs a few GPU slots)
+- Fine-grained overlap between H2D transfer and compute
+- Works well for long sequences
+
+**Flow**:
+```python
+# Phase 1: Pre-load up to num_slots blocks
+for i in range(num_preload):
+    offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(load_slots[i], layer_id, cpu_block_table[i])
+
+# Phase 2: Process blocks with pipeline
+for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+    current_slot = load_slots[block_idx % num_slots]
+
+    # Wait for transfer
+    offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(current_slot)
+
+    # Compute attention
+    prev_k, prev_v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(current_slot)
+    prev_o, prev_lse = flash_attn_with_lse(q, prev_k, prev_v, causal=False)
+    offload_engine.record_slot_compute_done(current_slot)
+
+    # Pipeline: start loading next block
+    if next_block_idx < num_blocks:
+        offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(current_slot, layer_id, cpu_block_table[next_block_idx])
+
+    # Merge results
+    o_acc, lse_acc = merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, prev_o, prev_lse)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Code Conventions
+
+### Unsupported Phases Must Assert False
+
+If a policy doesn't support a phase, the corresponding method must `assert False`:
+
+```python
+class PrefillOnlyPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+    supports_prefill = True
+    supports_decode = False
+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        # Normal prefill implementation
+        ...
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, ...):
+        assert False, "PrefillOnlyPolicy does not support decode phase"
+```
+
+### Caller Must Check Support Flags
+
+`attention.py` checks support flags before calling:
+
+```python
+if not sparse_policy.supports_decode:
+    raise RuntimeError(f"{sparse_policy} does not support decode phase")
+```
+
+This provides double protection:
+1. Caller check → Clear error message
+2. Method assert → Prevents bypassing the check
+
+### CPU-GPU Communication via OffloadEngine Only
+
+All CPU-GPU data transfers must go through `OffloadEngine` methods:
+
+```python
+# Correct: Use OffloadEngine methods
+offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+
+# Incorrect: Direct torch operations
+gpu_tensor.copy_(cpu_tensor)  # DON'T DO THIS
+gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to("cuda")  # DON'T DO THIS
+```

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

+    def initialize(self, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim, num_cpu_blocks, dtype, device):
+        self.metadata = BlockMetadataManager(num_cpu_blocks, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim)
+
+    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx):
+        if len(available_blocks) <= self.topk:
+            return available_blocks
+
+        # Compute scores and select top-K
+        scores = self.metadata.compute_scores(available_blocks, ctx.layer_id, ctx.query)
+        topk_indices = scores.topk(self.topk).indices.cpu().tolist()
+        return [available_blocks[i] for i in sorted(topk_indices)]
+
+    def on_prefill_offload(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id, k_cache, num_valid_tokens):

+
+    def compute_chunked_prefill(self, ...):
+        assert False, "TopKPolicy does not support prefill phase"
+
+    def compute_chunked_decode(self, q, layer_id, softmax_scale, offload_engine, kvcache_manager, seq):
+        # Copy implementation from FullAttentionPolicy.compute_chunked_decode
+        # The only difference is select_blocks() will filter to top-K
+        ...
+
+    def reset(self):
+        if self.metadata:

+## 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)

+```
+
+### 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 |

+| `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 |

+|------|--------|
+| 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)

+
+`XAttentionBSAPolicy` 实现了基于 XAttention 的块级稀疏注意力选择。核心思想是：
+
+1. **估计阶段**：使用 XAttention kernels 快速估计每个 KV block 的重要性
+2. **选择阶段**：基于阈值和 majority voting 选择重要的 blocks
+3. **计算阶段**：只加载选中的 blocks 进行 attention 计算

+
+---
+
+## 核心算法
+
+### 1. select_blocks: 块选择算法
+
+```python
+def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, offload_engine, ctx) -> List[int]:
+```
+
+#### Step 1: 加载 K blocks 并计算 attention scores
+
+对每个 CPU block，加载 K 到 GPU 并使用 `flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape` 计算：
+
+```python
+for cpu_block_id in available_blocks:
+    # 加载 K block: [1, block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim]
+    offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+    k_block, _ = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)
+
+    # 转换为 [batch, heads, k_len, head_dim]
+    K_chunk = k_block.transpose(1, 2)
+
+    # GQA: 扩展 K heads 匹配 Q heads
+    if num_heads != num_kv_heads:
+        K_chunk = K_chunk.repeat_interleave(num_groups, dim=1)
+
+    # 计算 attention scores
+    attn_chunk = flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(Q, K_chunk, stride, ...)
+    attn_scores_list.append(attn_chunk)
+
+# 拼接所有 K chunks: [1, heads, q_reshaped_len, total_k_reshaped_len]
+attn_scores = torch.cat(attn_scores_list, dim=-1)
+```
+
+#### Step 2: 聚合到 block 级别
+
+使用 `softmax_fuse_block_sum` 将 attention scores 聚合到 block 级别：
+
+```python
+# reshaped_block_size = block_size / stride = 1024 / 8 = 128
+block_sums = softmax_fuse_block_sum(
+    attn_scores,
+    reshaped_block_size,  # 1:1 对应 CPU blocks
+    segment_size,
+    chunk_start=0,
+    chunk_end=q_reshaped_len,
+    real_q_len=q_reshaped_len,
+    scale=scale,
+    is_causal=False,
+)
+# block_sums: [batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]
+```
+
+**关键点**: `reshaped_block_size` 必须与 CPU block 对齐，确保输出的 `k_blocks` 维度 1:1 对应 `available_blocks`。
+
+#### Step 3: 阈值选择
+
+使用 `find_blocks_chunked` 基于累积注意力阈值选择 blocks：
+
+```python
+mask = find_blocks_chunked(
+    block_sums,
+    current_index=0,
+    threshold=self.threshold,  # e.g., 0.95
+    num_to_choose=None,
+    decoding=False,
+    mode="prefill",
+    causal=False,
+)
+# mask: [batch, num_heads, q_blocks, k_blocks] - boolean
+```
+
+#### Step 4: GQA-aware 聚合 + Majority Voting
+
+```python
+# GQA: 在同一个 KV head group 内，任一 Q head 选择即选择
+if num_groups > 1:
+    mask_gqa = mask.view(batch_size, num_kv_heads, num_groups, q_blocks, k_blocks)
+    mask_per_kv_head = mask_gqa.any(dim=2)  # [batch, num_kv_heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]
+
+# Majority voting: 跨 KV heads 和 q_blocks 投票
+vote_count = mask_per_kv_head[0].float().sum(dim=0).sum(dim=0)  # [k_blocks]
+total_votes = num_kv_heads * q_blocks
+vote_ratio = vote_count / total_votes
+
+# 选择 >50% 投票的 blocks
+vote_threshold = 0.5
+block_selected = vote_ratio > vote_threshold
+selected_block_ids = [available_blocks[i] for i, sel in enumerate(block_selected.tolist()) if sel]
+
+# 安全措施: 始终包含第一个 (sink) 和最后一个 block
+if available_blocks[0] not in selected_block_ids:
+    selected_block_ids.insert(0, available_blocks[0])
+if available_blocks[-1] not in selected_block_ids:
+    selected_block_ids.append(available_blocks[-1])
+```
+
+**为什么使用 Majority Voting?**
+
+| 聚合方式 | 问题 |
+|---------|------|
+| `any()` 跨所有 heads | 密度接近 100%，失去稀疏性 |
+| `all()` | 太激进，可能丢失重要 blocks |
+| **Majority voting (>50%)** | 平衡稀疏性和准确性 |
+
+实验结果显示：
+- 每 head 密度: 20-35%
+- `any()` 聚合后: ~100%
+- **Majority voting 后: ~45%**
+
+---
+
+### 2. compute_chunked_prefill: 注意力计算
+
+复用 `FullAttentionPolicy` 的 ring buffer pipeline 实现：
+
+```python
+def compute_chunked_prefill(self, q, k, v, layer_id, softmax_scale,
+                            offload_engine, kvcache_manager,
+                            current_chunk_idx, seq, num_tokens,
+                            selected_blocks) -> torch.Tensor:
+```
+
+#### 计算流程
+
+1. **加载历史 blocks** (使用 selected_blocks):
+   ```python
+   for block_idx in range(num_blocks):
+       # Ring buffer pipeline: load -> wait -> compute -> next
+       offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)
+       offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)
+
+       prev_k, prev_v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)

+## 参数配置
+
+| 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|--------|------|
+| `threshold` | 0.95 | 累积注意力阈值 (tau)，越高越保守 |
+| `stride` | 8 | XAttention stride reshape 参数 |
+| `chunk_size` | 16384 | 估计时的处理 chunk size |
+| `block_size` | 128 | BSA block size (固定值) |
+
+### 使用方式
+
+```python
+# 在 config 中设置
+config.sparse_policy = SparsePolicyType.XATTN_BSA
+config.sparse_threshold = 0.95
+
+# 或通过命令行
+python tests/test_needle.py \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --enable-xattn-bsa \
+    --sparse-threshold 9  # 会被除以 10 变为 0.9
+```
+
+---
+
+## 性能特性
+
+| 特性 | 说明 |
+|------|------|
+| **Prefill 支持** | ✅ 完整支持 |
+| **Decode 支持** | ❌ 不支持（使用 FullAttentionPolicy） |
+| **稀疏度** | ~45-55%（threshold=0.95，majority voting） |
+| **准确性** | RULER NIAH 100% 通过 |
+
+### 限制
+
+1. **Decode 不支持**: XAttention 估计需要足够长的 Q 序列，单 token decode 不适用
+2. **估计开销**: `select_blocks` 需要加载所有 K blocks 进行估计
+3. **Triton 对齐**: Q/K 长度必须满足 `stride * BLOCK_M/N` 对齐要求
+
+---
+
+## 与其他 Policy 的对比
+
+| Policy | select_blocks | 稀疏度 | Decode 支持 |
+|--------|--------------|--------|-------------|
+| FullAttentionPolicy | 返回所有 blocks | 0% | ✅ |
+| QuestPolicy | 基于 min/max key | ~50% | ✅ |
+| **XAttentionBSAPolicy** | XAttention + majority voting | ~45-55% | ❌ |

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

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

+
+## 已知问题
+
+| 问题 | 状态 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| 估计开销过大 | 🟡 待优化 | select_blocks 需要加载所有 K blocks |
+| 时间比 Full 更长 | 🟡 待优化 | 128K 场景 152s vs 121s |
+| 小幅内存增长 | 🟢 可接受 | ~4GB，可能来自 Triton 缓存 |
+| Decode 不支持 | ✅ 设计如此 | 使用 FullAttentionPolicy |

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

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

+# XAttention Density Types: Compute vs Communication
+
+XAttention BSA 统计两种不同粒度的 density，它们反映不同的优化效果。
+
+## 两种 Density 的定义
+
+### 1. Compute Density（计算密度）
+
+**粒度**: BSA block (128 tokens)
+
+**公式**:
+```
+compute_density = selected_bsa_blocks / total_causal_bsa_blocks
+```
+
+**含义**: 实际需要计算 attention 的 blocks 占 causal 区域的比例。
+
+**影响**: 决定 attention 计算量的减少。
+
+### 2. Communication Density（通信密度）
+
+**粒度**: CPU block (4096 tokens = 32 BSA blocks)
+
+**公式**:
+```
+comm_density = selected_cpu_blocks / total_cpu_blocks
+```
+
+**含义**: 需要从 CPU 传输到 GPU 的 blocks 占总 blocks 的比例。
+
+**影响**: 决定 H2D 传输量的减少。
+
+## 为什么 Comm Density 通常高于 Compute Density
+
+### 聚合效应
+
+由于 CPU block 粒度是 BSA block 的 32 倍，CPU block 选择使用 `any()` 聚合：
+
+```python
+# BSA mask: [B, H, Q_bsa, K_bsa]
+# Reshape to CPU block level
+mask_per_cpu = mask.view(B, H, Q_bsa, num_cpu_blocks, bsa_per_cpu)
+# Any BSA block selected -> whole CPU block needed
+cpu_needed = mask_per_cpu.any(dim=-1).any(dim=2).any(dim=1)
+```
+
+只要 CPU block 中**任意一个**:
+- Head 选择了该 block，或
+- Q position 选择了该 block，或
+- BSA sub-block 被选中
+
+则整个 CPU block 都需要传输。
+
+### 示例
+
+| 场景 | Compute Density | Comm Density | 说明 |
+|------|-----------------|--------------|------|
+| 64K context, threshold=0.9 | 37% | 100% | 稀疏 blocks 均匀分布在所有 CPU blocks |
+| 32K context, threshold=0.9 | 50% | 100% | 同上 |
+
+## 测试结果
+
+### 测试命令
+
+```bash
+# Offload 模式测试
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler.py \
+    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
+    --data-dir tests/data/ruler_64k \
+    --datasets niah_single_1 \
+    --num-samples 1 \
+    --max-model-len 72000 \
+    --enable-offload \
+    --sparse-policy XATTN_BSA \
+    --sparse-threshold 0.9
+```
+
+### 输出示例
+
+```
+[DensityObserver] Mode: offload
+  Compute density: 0.3691 (min: 0.3691 @ layer 0)
+  Comm density:    1.0000 (CPU block granularity)
+  Savings ratio:   0.0% H2D transfer reduction
+  Num layers: 1
+  Layer 0 density: 0.369052
+```
+
+## 关键发现
+
+### 当前 XAttention 的通信优化局限
+
+1. **Compute density 有效降低**: ~37% @ 64K context（计算量减少 63%）
+2. **Comm density 没有降低**: 100%（通信量没有减少）
+
+### 原因分析
+
+Attention pattern 的特点：
+- 不同 heads 关注不同位置
+- 不同 Q positions 关注不同 K positions
+- 稀疏选择分布在整个 sequence 上
+
+这导致虽然每个 (head, Q, K) 组合只选择少量 blocks，但聚合后覆盖了所有 CPU blocks。
+
+### 潜在优化方向
+
+1. **Per-head block selection**: 每个 head 独立选择 CPU blocks
+2. **Block clustering**: 将相关 blocks 聚合到同一 CPU block
+3. **Dynamic block size**: 根据 attention pattern 动态调整 CPU block 大小

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

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

+
+### 汇总对比

+| 序列长度 | threshold | GPU-only density | Offload density | density 差异 |
+|---------|-----------|------------------|-----------------|--------------|
+| 32K | 0.90 | 0.5021 | 0.4506 | 5.2% |
+| 64K | 0.90 | 0.3700 | 0.3229 | 4.7% |

+| 32K | 1.00 | 0.9999 | 0.9999 | ~0% |
+| 64K | 1.00 | 0.9995 | 0.9995 | ~0% |
+
+## 结论
+
+### 1. Softmax 归一化本身是正确的
+
+当 `threshold=1.0`（选择所有 blocks）时，GPU-only 和 Offload 模式的 density 几乎完全对齐（差异 < 0.01%）。
+
+这说明：
+- `_debug_k_full` 正确收集了完整的 K cache
+- 分 chunk 调用 `xattn_estimate` 时，softmax 归一化在正确的 K 序列上计算
+- causal mask 的 Q 偏移量处理正确
+
+### 2. 问题在于 threshold 的应用方式
+
+当 `threshold < 1.0` 时，差异显著（10-13%）：
+
+- **GPU-only**：对完整序列一次性应用 threshold，选择 cumulative attention >= threshold 的 blocks
+- **Offload**：每个 chunk 独立应用 threshold，累积 selected counts
+
+每个 chunk 独立应用 threshold 会导致：
+- 某些在 GPU-only 中被选中的 blocks，在分 chunk 时因 attention 分布不同而未被选中
+- 累积的 selected 比一次性计算的要少
+
+### 3. XAttention Triton kernel 的 KV chunking 限制
+
+**验证结论**：XAttention 的 `xattn_estimate` 可以正确处理 KV chunking（softmax 归一化正确），但 **threshold-based block selection 不能简单累积**。
+
+如果要在 Offload 模式下获得与 GPU-only 一致的 block selection：
+1. 需要先累积所有 chunks 的 attention scores
+2. 最后一次性应用 threshold 选择 blocks
+
+或者接受 10-13% 的 density 差异，这对实际推理准确性的影响需要进一步评估。
+
+## 测试命令
+
+```bash
+# GPU-only 模式
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH \
+    python tests/test_ruler.py --dataset niah_single_1 --sample 0 \

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

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

+| Q=16K, KV=16K | 64891 | 4 | 4 | 0.1117 | ✓ 100% |

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

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

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

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

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

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

+        64   128   256   512
+
+最优点通常在 128-256 之间
+```
+
+## 优化建议
+
+1. **优先使用 block_size=4096**
+   - 减少 chunk 数量，降低调度开销
+   - 更好的 amortization 效果
+
+2. **优化 find_blocks_chunked**
+   - 当前是 block_size=4096 的主要瓶颈
+   - 考虑 GPU 加速或批量处理
+
+3. **Pipeline 优化**
+   - 利用多 slot 的 ring buffer 实现计算和传输 overlap
+   - 当前已实现，但 find_blocks 是 CPU 操作，无法 overlap
+
+## 测试命令

+# GPU-only 模式 (需要 40GB+ VRAM)
+bash scripts/profile_offload.sh --policy xattn --ctx-len 64k --no-offload --gpu 0

-### 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)

-## 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。

-# Progress Log: Multi-Model Support
-
-## Session: 2026-01-10
-
-### Initial Analysis Complete
-
-**Time**: Session start
-
-**Actions:**
-1. Read `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` - 确认硬编码位置 (line 35)
-2. Read `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` - 理解 Qwen3 模型结构
-3. Read `nanovllm/utils/loader.py` - 理解权重加载机制
-4. Read `nanovllm/layers/rotary_embedding.py` - 发现 RoPE scaling 限制
-5. Read `/home/zijie/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct/config.json` - 理解 Llama 配置
-
-**Key Findings:**
-- 模型加载在 `model_runner.py:35` 硬编码为 Qwen3
-- RoPE 目前不支持 scaling (`assert rope_scaling is None`)
-- Llama 3.1 需要 "llama3" 类型的 RoPE scaling
-- Llama 无 q_norm/k_norm，无 attention bias
-
-**Created:**
-- `task_plan.md` - 6 阶段实施计划
-- `findings.md` - 技术分析和发现
