Zijie Tian a239bfb40d 📚 docs: add new model integration guide
Summarizes lessons learned from GLM-4 integration:
- Config field mapping (multi_query_group_num, kv_channels, etc.)
- RoPE variants (interleaved vs half, partial vs full rotation)
- EOS token handling for multi-EOS models
- Weight name conversion patterns
- Verification checklist

Also updates CLAUDE.md to reflect GLM-4 support.

## Rules Index
| Rule | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| [`.claude/rules/multi-gpu-debugging.md`](.claude/rules/multi-gpu-debugging.md) | **Multi-GPU debugging**: GPU allocation (1-2 for validation, rest for exploration), single-task validation policy |
| [`.claude/rules/gpu-testing.md`](.claude/rules/gpu-testing.md) | GPU type detection, card assignment, needle test requirements |
| [`.claude/rules/sparse-policy.md`](.claude/rules/sparse-policy.md) | SparsePolicy implementation requirements |
| [`.claude/rules/planning-with-files.md`](.claude/rules/planning-with-files.md) | Planning file management for complex tasks |
| [`.claude/rules/gpu-monitor.md`](.claude/rules/gpu-monitor.md) | **GPU memory monitoring**: 必须使用 gpu-monitor agent禁止手动 nvidia-smi 循环 |
## GPU Mutex for Multi-Instance Debugging
**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances for parallel debugging, different rules apply based on script type:
### Benchmarks (`bench*.py`) - Exclusive GPU Access Required
Before running any `bench*.py` script, Claude MUST wait for exclusive GPU access:
```bash
# Check and wait for GPU to be free
while [ -n "$(nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid --format=csv,noheader)" ]; do
echo "GPU busy, waiting 10s..."
sleep 10
done
```
### Other Scripts (tests, examples) - No Special Requirements
For non-benchmark scripts, exclusive GPU access is NOT required. Multiple nanovllm processes can run simultaneously on different GPUs - each process automatically selects a unique port for `torch.distributed` communication.
## Multi-Instance Development with PYTHONPATH
**IMPORTANT**: When running multiple Claude instances on different worktrees, do NOT use `pip install -e .` globally as it will affect other instances.
**Use PYTHONPATH directly** - no pip install needed:
```bash
# Set PYTHONPATH to point to the project root directory
PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/worktree:$PYTHONPATH python <script.py>
# Example: running tests
PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py
```
**Benefits**:
- No `pip install` required
- Code changes take effect immediately (no reinstall needed)
- Each worktree is completely isolated
## Configuration
| Parameter | Default | Notes |
|-----------|---------|-------|
| `kvcache_block_size` | 1024 | Tokens per block (4096 now works after race condition fix) |
| `max_num_batched_tokens` | 16384 | Set = max_model_len for long context |
| `gpu_memory_utilization` | 0.9 | GPU memory fraction |
| `enable_cpu_offload` | False | Enable for long context |
| `enforce_eager` | False | Set True to disable CUDA graphs |
## Benchmarking
**Files**: `bench.py` (GPU), `bench_offload.py` (CPU offload), `bench_vllm.py` (comparison)
**Offload Mode Constraint**: When using `enable_cpu_offload=True`, only test with context length ≥ 32K. Shorter contexts don't exercise the chunked offload pipeline properly.
**Common Issues**:
1. `max_num_batched_tokens < max_model_len`: Set equal for long context
2. CUDA graph dimension mismatch: Ensure `input_len + output_len <= max_model_len`
3. RoPE out of bounds: Check model's `max_position_embeddings` in config.json
**Model Limits**:
- Qwen3-0.6B/4B: 40960 tokens
- Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M: 1048576 tokens
**Performance (Qwen3-0.6B)**:
- GPU: ~18k tok/s (prefill), ~100 tok/s (decode)
- CPU Offload (16K): ~14k tok/s (prefill)
- CPU Offload (32K): ~13k tok/s (prefill)
