Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Notes

  • Refactor
    • Optimized draft token management in speculative decoding to enhance efficiency through improved token reuse patterns.

✏️ Tip: You can customize this high-level summary in your review settings.

Description

The function _prepare_draft_batch takes ~40us for each request. When batch size is 32, it takes more than 1ms to prepare the draft batches, which could hurt the perf of overlap scheduler.

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Modified the draft request creation logic in speculative decoding to conditionally reuse previous draft requests when available instead of always creating new ones. Introduced a helper function to retrieve prior draft requests and updated token management logic to derive generated tokens from existing drafts when applicable.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Speculative Draft Reuse Optimization
tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/model_drafter.py
Added _get_previous_draft_request() helper to retrieve prior drafts from previous batch. Modified _create_accepted_tokens_request_for_trtllm_attn() to conditionally reuse previous drafts when available instead of always creating new ones; derives generated tokens from input tokens starting at prior draft's prompt length; falls back to creating fresh draft if no prior draft exists. Updated draft state management, token acceptance counters, and token indices copying logic.

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description check ❓ Inconclusive The PR description provides the motivation (performance issue with _prepare_draft_batch) and intended solution, but lacks details on test coverage, completed checklist items, and CodeRabbit-generated summary. Provide specific test cases that validate the draft request reuse logic, mark completed checklist items, and consider adding a CodeRabbit-generated summary for clarity.
✅ Passed checks (2 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The PR title clearly and specifically describes the main change: reusing previous draft requests for performance optimization, directly matching the raw summary's core objective.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.
✨ Finishing touches
  • 📝 Generate docstrings
🧪 Generate unit tests (beta)
  • Create PR with unit tests

177-185: Consider caching request lookups for better performance.

The linear search through previous_draft_batch.all_requests() is O(n) per request, making batch preparation O(n²) in the worst case. While this is still an improvement over creating new requests, you could optimize further by maintaining a dict mapping py_request_id to request objects.

🔎 Optional optimization using dict-based lookup

Add a dict cache as an instance variable and populate it when setting previous_draft_batch:

# In __init__:
self.previous_draft_requests_by_id: Dict[int, LlmRequest] = {}

# When setting previous_draft_batch (e.g., lines 890, 923):
self.previous_draft_requests_by_id = {
    req.py_request_id: req 
    for req in draft_batch.all_requests()
}

# Updated helper:
def _get_previous_draft_request(
        self, request: LlmRequest) -> Optional[LlmRequest]:
    """Get the previous draft request for the given request."""
    return self.previous_draft_requests_by_id.get(request.py_request_id)

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM's multimodal processing pipeline, shared tensor recovery using `from_shared_tensor()` is only needed during the context phase. Generation requests reuse the already-recovered tensor data and only need to call `strip_for_generation()` to remove unnecessary multimodal data while preserving the recovered tensors. This avoids redundant tensor recovery operations during generation.
