From 7cdbb5e2b1c65eacd904dafd5c8b1a5a4a54f20c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Spencer Bryngelson Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 19:19:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/26] test: diagnose a GPU memory fault on the retry that follows it A GPU memory fault reaches CI as an address and nothing else: Memory access fault by GPU node-9 (Agent handle: 0x...) on address 0x... Measured on a Frontier compute node with MFC's own module set, the offload runtimes will say considerably more than that. Under CCE, CRAY_ACC_DEBUG=1 names the kernel and the source line of the launch that faulted: ACC: Execute kernel fault_$ck_L8_1 async(auto) from fault.f90:8 Memory access fault by GPU node-4 ... Under the AFAR toolchain frontier_amd uses, OFFLOAD_TRACK_ALLOCATION_TRACES states whether the address ever belonged to a host-issued allocation, which separates an out-of-bounds write from an unmapped one. Neither can be on for a whole run: CRAY_ACC_DEBUG prints per kernel launch and per transfer, and MFC launches thousands per timestep. So spend a retry on it. MFC already retries a failed case up to three times, and those retries rescue almost nothing -- 0 of 235 in bench, with every recorded failed test showing the full attempt count. That last fact is what makes this work: when a case fails it fails all its attempts, so the retry is a reproduction of the fault that has already been paid for and currently produces nothing. On a GPU memory fault the next attempt now re-runs with both variables set. Both, rather than detecting the cluster: each runtime ignores the other's, verified on both toolchains. Nothing changes for any other failure, and nothing changes on the happy path. Not placed in the .mako templates. Those generate job scripts for every ./mfc.sh run on all 18 supported clusters, so anything set there would follow users into production runs. The environment is built per subprocess in the test harness instead -- also the reason it is a fresh dict rather than os.environ, since cases run in worker threads and a mutated global would leak per-kernel logging into every concurrent case. Measured while establishing the above, on the same AFAR drop Frontier uses: allocation tracking costs 10.5x on a loop that maps and unmaps every iteration, and nothing measurable on MFC's shape (map once, then kernels and target updates: 2.606s -> 2.620s over 2000 iterations). Also learned and deliberately not acted on: GPU core dumps do land on Frontier when the working directory is node-local, but a single faulting run wrote 1.1 GB of core plus 15 gpucore files of ~157 MB each. The CI failure "GPU core dump failed / Failed to allocate file: Bad file descriptor" is the runner workspace being on Lustre, and it is accidentally protective. 510 tests pass. --- toolchain/mfc/test/case.py | 6 +- toolchain/mfc/test/test.py | 61 ++++++++++- .../mfc/test/test_gpu_fault_diagnostics.py | 101 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 163 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 toolchain/mfc/test/test_gpu_fault_diagnostics.py diff --git a/toolchain/mfc/test/case.py b/toolchain/mfc/test/case.py index f386cad0d..a5521ed3c 100644 --- a/toolchain/mfc/test/case.py +++ b/toolchain/mfc/test/case.py @@ -171,7 +171,7 @@ def __init__( merge = {key: val for key, val in merge.items() if val is not None} super().__init__(merge) - def run(self, targets: List[Union[str, MFCTarget]], gpus: Set[int]) -> subprocess.CompletedProcess: + def run(self, targets: List[Union[str, MFCTarget]], gpus: Set[int], env: dict = None) -> subprocess.CompletedProcess: if gpus is not None and len(gpus) != 0: gpus_select = ["--gpus"] + [str(_) for _ in gpus] else: @@ -191,7 +191,9 @@ def run(self, targets: List[Union[str, MFCTarget]], gpus: Set[int]) -> subproces command = [mfc_script, "run", filepath, "--no-build", *tasks, *case_optimization, *jobs, "-t", *target_names, *gpus_select, *ARG("--")] - return common.system(command, print_cmd=False, text=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT) + # env is per-subprocess, never os.environ: cases run in worker threads, + # so a mutated global would leak into every concurrent case. + return common.system(command, print_cmd=False, text=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, env=env) def run_restart(self, targets, gpus): """Run a restart roundtrip: simulate to midpoint, then restart to end.""" diff --git a/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py b/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py index 05720522d..c07f427e0 100644 --- a/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py +++ b/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py @@ -589,7 +589,7 @@ def _handle_convergence_case(case: TestCase, start_time: float): raise MFCException(f"Test {case}: convergence rate check failed (see {log_dir}/convergence.log)") -def _handle_case(case: TestCase, devices: typing.Set[int]): +def _handle_case(case: TestCase, devices: typing.Set[int], env: dict = None): global current_test_number # noqa: PLW0603 start_time = time.time() @@ -620,7 +620,7 @@ def _handle_case(case: TestCase, devices: typing.Set[int]): # Check timeout before starting if timeout_flag.is_set(): raise TestTimeoutError("Test case exceeded 1 hour timeout") - cmd = case.run([PRE_PROCESS, SIMULATION], gpus=devices) + cmd = case.run([PRE_PROCESS, SIMULATION], gpus=devices, env=env) # Check timeout after simulation if timeout_flag.is_set(): @@ -632,6 +632,11 @@ def _handle_case(case: TestCase, devices: typing.Set[int]): if cmd.returncode != 0: cons.print(cmd.stdout) + # Flag a GPU memory fault so the retry can re-run with the offload + # runtime's diagnostics on.

The previous commit echoed a failing attempt's output whole, so a diagnostic retry would have buried the failure it exists to explain under six figures of runtime chatter. Only the tail is worth keeping. The fault comes last, and the launch immediately before it is what names the kernel and source line: ACC: Execute kernel syscheck_$ck_L89_1 from .../syscheck.fpp:89 Memory access fault by GPU node-4 ... Ordinary failures still print in full -- they are short and the whole thing is useful. Only the diagnostic retry is capped, and the complete capture remains in out_pre_sim.txt for anyone who wants it. The same session settled the two things this design rested on: chain the variable does reach the binary through ./mfc.sh run -> frontier.mako -> srun -> binary, so the change is live, not inert cost 13.7s -> 17.3s (1.27x) on the case that produced those 142,777 lines. Against the 1 hour TEST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS a case would need to take ~2800s unaided before a diagnostic retry could push it over, and the slowest case seen in CI is around 1000s. So the retry cannot convert a fault into a timeout, which would have hidden the very thing it is meant to surface. The logging is per case and per retry -- case_env is local to handle_case and only set once that case has faulted -- so a suite with no GPU faults is bit-for-bit unaffected, and one with a fault pays 1.27x on exactly one case. 511 tests pass. --- toolchain/mfc/test/test.py | 18 +++++++++++++++++- .../mfc/test/test_gpu_fault_diagnostics.py | 14 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py b/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py index c07f427e0..29ae058f9 100644 --- a/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py +++ b/toolchain/mfc/test/test.py @@ -631,7 +631,16 @@ def _handle_case(case: TestCase, devices: typing.Set[int], env: dict = None): common.file_write(out_filepath, cmd.stdout) if cmd.returncode != 0: - cons.print(cmd.stdout) + if env is None: + cons.print(cmd.stdout) + else: + # A diagnostic retry.

CI proved it: a Frontier gpu-omp shard hit 216 memory access faults and enabled diagnostics zero times. The marker is now one of the signatures verbatim, and parenthesised rather than bracketed -- Rich parses "[...]" as a style tag and deletes it, which is why that shard logged a bare "Failed to execute MFC. " with the marker missing. The three tests this replaces asserted only that the source text contained certain identifiers, which cannot detect a mismatch between the string one side writes and the string the other side reads. The two new tests exercise the hand-off and the Rich rendering; both are verified red against the respective bugs.

Setting them on every run makes attempt 1 carry the evidence, which is what the retry existed to obtain. Adds OFFLOAD_TRACK_NUM_KERNEL_LAUNCH_TRACES=8 -- host stack traces for recent launches, which the runtime advertises in its own fault message -- alongside the allocation verdict. Adds NVHPC's wording to the fault signatures. It says "Accelerator Fatal Error / CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS", nothing like AMD's "memory access fault by GPU", so 189 faults on a Phoenix gpu-acc shard were never recognised as GPU faults. Still not setting CRAY_ACC_DEBUG: it streams a line per launch for the whole run and, because CCE dispatches async by default (acc_model=auto_async_kernel), its tail names whatever ran next -- the wrong kernel in 81 of 102 traced faults. The flag that would fix that, -h acc_model=auto_async_none, is a compile flag no retry can set.

The detection path had no effect. is_gpu_memory_fault tagged the exception and nothing read the tag: classify_error bucketed anything containing "failed to execute" as a generic execution failure, so a GPU memory fault -- the one execution failure a retry provably cannot fix -- was indistinguishable from a transient launcher problem. It now gets its own bucket, which is what the detection was kept for. 2. "accelerator fatal error" was too broad. NVHPC uses that prefix for unrelated failures, including "call to cuMemAlloc returned error 2: Out of memory"; classifying an OOM as a memory fault would send the reader hunting a bad index that does not exist. cuda_error_illegal_address already matches the real thing. 3. Restart cases bypassed the diagnostics entirely -- run_restart never took an env, so a fault there produced none of the output this exists to provide. 4/5. Comments still described the retry that was removed, and one clause did not parse. Findings 1 and 4 were both residue from deleting the retry: the mechanism went, its vocabulary stayed. The tests missed it because they asserted the marker round-trips, not that anything consumes it.

Measured on Frontier (CCE 19.0.0, ROCm 6.3.1): it prints "Disassembly for function s_tvd_rk$m_time_steppers_$ck_L486_6" -- the exact injected fault site -- with the faulting instruction and per-wave registers, where no CRAY_ACC_* variable names it at all. Enabled wherever the library is reachable. The gate is evaluated per call, never at import. On Frontier the library is on disk the whole time but only reaches LD_LIBRARY_PATH once mfc.sh load runs, so an import-time gate reports "absent" on the one machine this is for, indistinguishably from Phoenix where it truly is missing. It probes for the file rather than dlopen'ing it, so testing the subprocess's environment does not load a debug agent into the harness. The agent emits ~14k lines per fault, almost all of it one disassembly and register dump repeated per wave. summarize_rocm_debug_agent collapses that to ~37 lines. A fixed tail cannot substitute: on the real report the first 80 lines are one wave's registers and the last 80 another's, and the kernel name appears in neither. The stop-PC histogram is kept because the modal PC was a load while the fault is a write, so a single PC would name the wrong instruction. Cost on a healthy run: 4.5645 ns/gp/eq/rhs against an agent-free spread of 4.5301-4.5614 -- 0.07% above a range 0.69% wide. That is n=1 by decision, not by measurement, and the comment says so.

The OpenMP-offload lane was never built or run, so listing it as working was an inference sitting in a table of measurements. The agent hooks ROCr, below both OpenACC and OpenMP offload, so it should fire either way -- but the claim is attribution, not firing. s_tvd_rk$m_time_steppers_$ck_L486_6 is CCE's OpenACC symbol mangling, and whether module, subroutine and line survive in the OpenMP-offload form is unverified. The summarizer is unaffected: its regex takes whatever the symbol is. Also upgrades the fixture to the real report's format -- the "(Agent handle: ...)" clause, "End of disassembly." as terminator, and the blank line plus "scalar registers:" header before a wave's dump -- and adds a test pinning the field set the summarizer produced from the genuine 14,635-line log. Structure only: pinning the wave counts or PC histogram would encode one fault instead of testing the code.

Silent degradation is now loud. When the debug agent is reachable and the failure IS a GPU memory fault but no agent report is recognised, that is either a failed load or a format change -- and until now the only symptom was raw output where a summary should have been. That is exactly how a ROCm 6.3.1-only parser sat on the AFAR lane returning nothing for 65,210 lines. It now says so. 2. bench.py and run_case_optimization.sh had no fault handling at all. Both run GPU cases; neither set the diagnostics, and bench printed a fixed log_tail on failure, which cannot surface an agent report -- on a real one the tail is a single wave's registers and the kernel name is not in it. The diagnostics move to mfc/gpu_diagnostics.py now that three callers share them; bench.py depending on the test module to explain a crash would be the wrong way round. .github/scripts/summarize_gpu_fault.py gives the shell script the same summary, exiting 1 when there is no agent report so the caller falls back. The bench test needed padding past log_tail's 60-line window: with a 20-line fixture the tail contains the kernel name and the test passes against the old behaviour, proving nothing.

Healthy run: no effect detected. The agent's whole range sits inside the agent-free range, paired differences split 2 up / 2 down, mean -0.045%. Resolution is ~0.8% set by the agent-free spread, so this is "no effect detected at n=4", not "no effect". Healthy-run log noise is zero -- 2661-2662 bytes with and without. Faulting run: +0.387 s, 1.60x of a 0.647 s baseline, which is 0.011% of the 1-hour test timeout. A fault cannot become a timeout through the agent -- the risk worth checking, since a diagnostic that hides the fault it explains is worse than none. The cost that is real is volume: 6.7 MB / ~13,630 lines per faulting test on that lane, ~65,000 on AFAR. That makes the summarizer load-bearing rather than an optimisation. Also replaces the AFAR-interaction caveat with the measurement that settled it: the agent does not supersede libomptarget (OFFLOAD ERROR 1, Libomptarget 8, identical with and without); it is mutually exclusive with ROCr core dumps only. Timings are CCE only; the AFAR lane produces twice the waves and was not re-timed.

They instrument every allocation and every kernel launch, so a healthy run pays continuously. Measured on an MI210 with amdflang/libomptarget, test AFBCBDFA: neither 5.94 s passes allocation traces only >400 s timed out launch traces only >400 s timed out both >400 s timed out An unbounded run passed 30 minutes on a 6-second test. Against the 1-hour test timeout that is enough to turn a fault into a timeout, hiding the thing the diagnostics exist to explain. With them removed the same test runs in 5.57 s under the harness's own defaults. The claim that they were "inert until the runtime is already aborting" was an inference from their documentation, never a measurement, and the Frontier A/B that seemed to confirm it ran on CCE -- whose offload runtime ignores libomptarget variables entirely. That measured a lane where they do nothing and was read as evidence they cost nothing anywhere. The ROCm debug agent stays: interleaved on the same machine it costs ~3-4% (5.52/5.34 vs 5.28/5.17, n=2) and it names the faulting kernel and source line, which subsumes the one line of allocation verdict that was lost.

Now 649. Tests: 545 lines and 34 cases down to 310 and 16. The overlap was real (three separate tests of the same fault-signature matcher, two of the same symbol forms, format tests duplicated by a combined one) and several docstrings retold this session's history at length rather than saying why the assertion exists. Every one of the five bugs this file was written to catch is still caught -- re-verified by reintroducing each: the bracket marker, the ROCm 6.3.1-only regex, an expensive OFFLOAD_TRACK_* variable, the debugger hijack, and bench.py tailing instead of summarizing. Comments: gpu_diagnostics.py 218 to 200, with the measured tables kept and the post-mortems dropped. The numbers are the part a future reader needs; the story of how I got them is not.

That is the only way to judge whether these diagnostics are worth having: a bare address before, and the agent naming s_tvd_rk$m_time_steppers_$ck_L486_16 -- collapsed from ~14k lines to ~35 -- after. Applied as a patch onto current HEAD rather than by taking the file from c2d0579c: master was merged into this branch since, and that file changed (#1762), so restoring the old copy would have silently reverted someone else's work. Ground truth is m_time_steppers.fpp:486, s_tvd_rk. Anything naming s_write_run_time_information is the async-attribution failure, not a finding. Revert before merging.

I did not catch it because I had stopped running precheck: it fails on this machine for two unrelated environmental reasons (a corrupted h5py in the shared venv, and example-case cache clobbering), so I had been committing with --no-verify and reading the failures as noise. A real, catchable violation then hid in that noise. Source lint now passes locally, and the example-case failure has cleared on its own; only the h5py import remains, which CI's clean venv does not have.
