feat(agentx): DSv4-Pro FP4 MTP DPattn+EP8 on FlyDSL mega-MoE (conc 32) / 新增 DSv4-Pro FP4 MTP DPattn+EP8 FlyDSL mega-MoE 配置（并发 32）

[jiacao-amd]

Summary

Rebases the AgentX DeepSeek-V4-Pro FP4 MTP recipe from #2381 onto current main (which already carries the AIPerf v1.0.1 bump, 65e0b1c / #2484) and adds a DP-attention + EP8 arm at concurrency 32 using AITER's FlyDSL mega-MoE kernel.

Why

Pure TP8 replicates the MLA KV cache on every GPU, so the available KV cache pool does not grow with the node. In the AgentX trace-replay scenario, prefix-cache hit rate dominates end-to-end performance and is bounded by that pool. DP-attention shards KV per DP rank and EP8 shards the 384 routed experts, freeing HBM for KV.

What changed

• benchmarks/single_node/agentic/dsv4_fp4_mi355x_vllm_mtp.sh (new, from [AMD] [AGENTX] dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic: DEP tuning + LMCache refresh (MTP variant) #2381): adds a MoE-backend gate. Arms with DP_ATTENTION=true && EP_SIZE > 1 select --moe-backend flydsl; every pure-TP arm keeps --moe-backend aiter and is unchanged, so [AMD] [AGENTX] dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic: DEP tuning + LMCache refresh (MTP variant) #2381's existing conc-1..48 sweep stays directly comparable.
• configs/amd-master.yaml: new dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic-mtp key, same image as [AMD] [AGENTX] dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic: DEP tuning + LMCache refresh (MTP variant) #2381 (vllm/vllm-openai-rocm:nightly-b88916617d3d2249bff0dae5cecb6b727c980a20). Two arms: the TP8 sweep (conc-list: [1, 4, 8, 16, 32, 40, 48]) and the new tp: 8, ep: 8, dp-attn: true arm at conc: 32 with vllm-router 0.1.14.
• perf-changelog.yaml: append-only entry.

Does the FlyDSL EP8 kernel work on DSv4 + DPattn+EP8?

AITER resolves launch geometry via resolve_tuning_config_path(), which globs mega_moe_tuning_config/flydsl_*_{kernel_type}_ep{world_size}.json and scores candidates on gfx arch then GPU model. On MI355X at EP8 that resolves to flydsl_gfx950_mi355x_IntraNode_ep8.json.

Its first fp4 dispatch rule is hidden_dim=7168, topk=6, local_expert_num=48. DeepSeek-V4-Pro's config.json gives hidden_size=7168, num_experts_per_tok=6, n_routed_experts=384 → 384/8 = 48 local experts at EP8. Exact match, so the tuning table hits rather than falling back to the static 128-block / 4-warp defaults. A shape miss would not have been fatal either — the op logs using static geometry defaults and still runs. This PR's CI run confirms it empirically.

Validation

• pytest utils/matrix_logic/ -q → 224 passed
• Full-sweep config generation passes; test-config emits 8 entries with the DEP8 arm correctly carrying ep: 8, dp-attn: True, conc: 32, router{vllm-router 0.1.14}
• bash -n clean on the launch script; MoE-backend gating verified for both arms

中文说明

将 #2381 的 AgentX DeepSeek-V4-Pro FP4 MTP 配置变基到当前 main（已包含 AIPerf v1.0.1 升级，65e0b1ce / #2484），并新增使用 AITER FlyDSL mega-MoE kernel 的 数据并行注意力(DP attention) + EP8、并发 32 配置点。

动机

纯 TP8 会在每张 GPU 上复制一份 MLA KV 缓存，因此可用 KV 缓存池不会随节点规模增长。在 AgentX 轨迹回放场景中，端到端性能主要由前缀缓存(prefix cache)命中率决定，而命中率受该缓存池大小限制。DP attention 按 DP rank 切分 KV，EP8 切分 384 个路由专家，从而为 KV 释放 HBM 空间。

改动内容

• benchmarks/single_node/agentic/dsv4_fp4_mi355x_vllm_mtp.sh（新增，来自 [AMD] [AGENTX] dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic: DEP tuning + LMCache refresh (MTP variant) #2381）：加入 MoE 后端选择逻辑。满足 DP_ATTENTION=true && EP_SIZE > 1 的配置点选用 --moe-backend flydsl；所有纯 TP 配置点保持 --moe-backend aiter 不变，因此 [AMD] [AGENTX] dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic: DEP tuning + LMCache refresh (MTP variant) #2381 已有的 conc-1..48 扫描结果仍可直接对比。
• configs/amd-master.yaml：新增 dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic-mtp 配置键，镜像与 [AMD] [AGENTX] dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic: DEP tuning + LMCache refresh (MTP variant) #2381 相同。包含两个配置点：TP8 扫描（conc-list: [1, 4, 8, 16, 32, 40, 48]），以及新增的 tp: 8, ep: 8, dp-attn: true、conc: 32、搭配 vllm-router 0.1.14。
• perf-changelog.yaml：纯追加条目。

该 kernel 在 DSv4 + DPattn+EP8 上能用吗？

AITER 通过 resolve_tuning_config_path() 解析 kernel 启动几何参数：它在 mega_moe_tuning_config/ 下按 flydsl_*_{kernel_type}_ep{world_size}.json 匹配文件，并先按 gfx 架构、再按 GPU 型号打分。MI355X 在 EP8 下解析到 flydsl_gfx950_mi355x_IntraNode_ep8.json。

该表的第一条 fp4 dispatch 规则为 hidden_dim=7168, topk=6, local_expert_num=48。DeepSeek-V4-Pro 的 config.json 中 hidden_size=7168、num_experts_per_tok=6、n_routed_experts=384，在 EP8 下每 rank 本地专家数为 384/8 = 48。完全匹配，因此可命中调优表，而不会回退到静态的 128-block / 4-warp 默认参数。即使形状不匹配也不会致命——该算子会打印 using static geometry defaults 并继续运行。本 PR 的 CI 运行提供了实测确认。

验证

• pytest utils/matrix_logic/ -q → 224 通过
• 全量 sweep 配置生成通过；test-config 生成 8 个条目，DEP8 配置点正确携带 ep: 8, dp-attn: True, conc: 32, router{vllm-router 0.1.14}
• 启动脚本 bash -n 语法检查通过；两个配置点的 MoE 后端选择逻辑均已验证

🔴 The new perf-changelog.yaml entry's pr-link is .../pull/PENDING, but this repo's merge tooling only recognizes a resolved pull/<number> link or the literal XXX placeholder — PENDING is neither. This PR's number (2503) is already known, so it should be pull/2503 (or XXX if left for merge-time auto-fill).

Extended reasoning...

The appended entry at the end of perf-changelog.yaml (line 5471) sets pr-link: https://github.com/SemiAnalysisAI/InferenceX/pull/PENDING. Every other entry in this 5400+ line append-only file links a real, resolved PR number. PENDING is not a value that appears anywhere else in the file — it's a stray placeholder that was never filled in with this PR's actual number (2503), which is already known from the PR metadata.

This is more than a cosmetic broken link. The repo's canonicalization tooling in utils/validate_perf_changelog.py defines exactly one accepted placeholder set:

CANONICAL_PR_LINK = re.compile(r"https://github\.com/SemiAnalysisAI/InferenceX/pull/\d+")
PR_LINK_PLACEHOLDERS = {"XXX", "https://github.com/SemiAnalysisAI/InferenceX/pull/XXX"}

utils/prepare_perf_changelog_merge.py's canonicalize_appended_links() walks every entry appended by the PR and, for each one whose pr-link isn't already the expected pull/<pr_number> link, requires it to be a member of PR_LINK_PLACEHOLDERS before it will auto-rewrite it:

if link not in PR_LINK_PLACEHOLDERS:
    raise ChangelogValidationError(
        f"appended entry {index + 1} has unexpected pr-link {link!r}"
    )

PENDING matches neither the canonical pull/\d+ pattern nor either placeholder string, so this raises ChangelogValidationError.

That function is invoked from utils/merge_with_reuse.sh (the script used by the merge-prs skill) at its canonicalize step, which runs under set -e. So when this PR is merged through the standard automated path, the canonicalize step will throw and abort the script — the merge does not silently proceed with a bad link, it hard-fails. This is why the finding is more than "cosmetically inconsistent": it's a concrete failure an author/maintainer will hit at merge time, even though PR-time CI (which only runs validate_matrix_compatible_change via process_changelog.py, not pr-link canonicity) passes cleanly and gives no warning beforehand.

Step-by-step proof:

1. grep -c PENDING perf-changelog.yaml → 1 match, at line 5471, and it is this PR's newly appended entry.
2. At merge time, merge_with_reuse.sh runs prepare_perf_changelog_merge.py canonicalize for PR feat(agentx): DSv4-Pro FP4 MTP DPattn+EP8 on FlyDSL mega-MoE (conc 32) / 新增 DSv4-Pro FP4 MTP DPattn+EP8 FlyDSL mega-MoE 配置（并发 32） #2503.
3. canonicalize_appended_links() computes expected_link = ".../pull/2503", finds the appended entry's link = ".../pull/PENDING", sees link != expected_link.
4. It checks link not in PR_LINK_PLACEHOLDERS — true, since PR_LINK_PLACEHOLDERS = {"XXX", ".../pull/XXX"} and PENDING is not in that set.
5. ChangelogValidationError is raised; the script (running under set -e) exits non-zero, and the automated merge aborts.

The fix is a one-line change: replace PENDING with 2503 (matching every other entry's convention), or alternatively use the literal XXX placeholder, which the canonicalize step is built to auto-rewrite to the correct PR number at merge time.

🔴 GPU_MEM_UTIL is set to 0.90 (259.2 GiB of the 288 GiB total), but the script's own comment immediately above derives that only ~256 GiB is free at init and that 0.86 (247.7 GiB) is the validated safe ceiling — 0.90 requests ~3.2 GiB more than is free, which is the exact "Free memory ... less than desired GPU memory utilization" hard-fail the comment attributes to 0.95. This will hard-fail vLLM engine startup on every DP worker for both configured arms (neither uses mooncake, so the trailing headroom justification doesn't apply). Fix by setting GPU_MEM_UTIL to 0.86 as the comment's own analysis concludes.

Extended reasoning...

The comment at lines 434-446 walks through the author's own empirical derivation of the safe --gpu-memory-utilization value for this recipe on MI355X, and the code directly contradicts the conclusion of that derivation.

The math, using the script's own model: vLLM's --gpu-memory-utilization is a fraction of total GPU memory (288 GiB on MI355X). The comment confirms this itself: 0.95 → 273.6 GiB (0.95 × 288 = 273.6). It then states that only ~256/288 GiB is actually free at engine init due to a stable ~32 GiB/GPU carveout, and that 0.95 (273.6 GiB) hard-fails every DP worker with Free memory ... less than desired GPU memory utilization because 273.6 > 256. It goes on to derive 0.86 (247.7 GiB) as the validated safe value, chosen specifically to leave ~8 GiB of headroom below that same 256 GiB ceiling.

Applying that identical formula to the value actually written in the code: GPU_MEM_UTIL=0.90 → 0.90 × 288 = 259.2 GiB, which is ~3.2 GiB above the 256 GiB free-memory ceiling the comment just established. This is not a smaller version of the 0.95 failure — it's the same failure mode, just with a smaller margin over the same ceiling.

Why nothing else in the code prevents this: GPU_MEM_UTIL is set unconditionally (line 446) and passed straight through as --gpu-memory-utilization "$GPU_MEM_UTIL" (line 495) with no override per KV-offload backend or per arm. Both arms configured for this recipe in amd-master.yaml (dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic-mtp) use kv-offloading: none, so there's no code path that would lower this value for either configured combination. The trailing comment fragment — "Additional 0.9 for mooncake headroom" — doesn't rescue this: (1) no mooncake arm exists in this PR's config, and (2) even if it did, raising --gpu-memory-utilization reduces free-memory headroom, it does not add it, so the stated rationale is backwards regardless of backend.

Impact: Under DP-attention (--data-parallel-size $TP --tensor-parallel-size 1), each of the 8 DP ranks runs its own vLLM engine on a single GPU, and each independently performs the free-memory check at init. With 0.90 requesting 259.2 GiB against ~256 GiB free, every rank hits the hard-fail on both the pure-TP8 arm and the DEP8+FlyDSL arm — the recipe produces no benchmark data on either arm as currently configured. The PR's validation section lists only pytest, config-generation, and bash -n checks; none of these exercise real GPU memory allocation, so this would not have been caught before merge.

Step-by-step proof:

1. MI355X total HBM per GPU: 288 GiB (confirmed by the comment's own 0.95×288=273.6 check).
2. Free memory at engine init, per the comment: ~256 GiB (288 − ~32 GiB carveout).
3. vLLM's init-time check requires free_memory >= total_memory * gpu_memory_utilization.
4. With GPU_MEM_UTIL=0.90: required = 0.90 × 288 = 259.2 GiB.
5. Compare: 256 GiB free < 259.2 GiB required → check fails.
6. This triggers the exact same Free memory ... less than desired GPU memory utilization error the comment says occurs at 0.95, just with a ~3.2 GiB deficit instead of a ~17.6 GiB deficit.
7. Since this check runs independently on each of the 8 DP-rank engine processes, all 8 fail identically, and the pure-TP8 arm (single 8-GPU engine) fails identically for the same reason.

Fix: Set GPU_MEM_UTIL to 0.86, the value the comment's own derivation lands on as the validated safe ceiling with margin for both the free-memory check and the MTP draft layer's extra KV requirement.

🔴 TOKENS_PER_SEQ is computed at line 423 (with a detailed comment on why MTP cudagraph capture sizes must be explicit multiples of it) but is never actually applied — the --compilation-config passed to vllm serve at line 497 is a plain literal with no cudagraph_capture_sizes key. Both sibling scripts (dsv4_fp4_b200_vllm_mtp.sh, dsv4_fp4_b300_vllm_mtp.sh) build this into the config; this port dropped that step while keeping the dead variable and comment, so the new DEP8 arm (conc=32) will fall back to vLLM's default capture-size ladder and run its largest decode batches in eager mode.

Extended reasoning...

The bug: benchmarks/single_node/agentic/dsv4_fp4_mi355x_vllm_mtp.sh:415-423 carries an extensive comment explaining that, because MTP verifies S*(1+N) tokens for a decode batch of S sequences with N speculative tokens, the vLLM cudagraph capture sizes must be the explicit list (1+N), 2*(1+N), ..., MAX_NUM_SEQS*(1+N). Otherwise, vLLM's adjust_cudagraph_sizes_for_spec_decode rounds/dedups a plain 1..MAX_NUM_SEQS list, collapsing coverage to only MAX_NUM_SEQS/(1+N) seqs and pushing the largest decode batches to eager execution. The script computes NUM_SPEC_TOKENS=3 and TOKENS_PER_SEQ=$((1 + NUM_SPEC_TOKENS)) (line 423) to do exactly this — but TOKENS_PER_SEQ is never referenced again anywhere in the file (confirmed by grep: a single hit, the assignment itself).

Where it should have been used: The actual --compilation-config passed to vllm serve (line 497) is the hardcoded literal '{"mode":3,"cudagraph_mode":"FULL_DECODE_ONLY"}' — no cudagraph_capture_sizes key at all. I checked both named sibling scripts directly and confirmed they implement the missing piece:

• dsv4_fp4_b300_vllm_mtp.sh loops num_seqs=1..MAX_NUM_SEQS, builds CUDA_GRAPH_CAPTURE_SIZES as num_seqs*TOKENS_PER_SEQ for each, and injects it as "cudagraph_capture_sizes":[...] into COMPILATION_CONFIG, which is then passed to vllm serve.
• dsv4_fp4_b200_vllm_mtp.sh instead computes MAX_CUDAGRAPH_CAPTURE_SIZE=$((MAX_NUM_SEQS * TOKENS_PER_SEQ)) and passes it via a dedicated --max-cudagraph-capture-size flag.

Both siblings carry the identical explanatory comment block, so the intended pattern for this port is unambiguous — the mi355x version copied the comment and the TOKENS_PER_SEQ computation but dropped the loop/flag that actually applies it, leaving a dead variable with an orphaned justification.

Why this isn't caught elsewhere: There's no --max-cudagraph-capture-size flag anywhere in the file (confirmed via grep), and bash -n / the PR's config-generation tests only check that the script is syntactically valid and that the YAML search-space entries resolve correctly — neither would catch a config string missing an optional key.

Impact — concrete walkthrough: This PR's headline new arm is DEP8 at conc=32. Under DP_ATTENTION=true, MAX_NUM_SEQS = CONC = 32 (line ~380). With NUM_SPEC_TOKENS=3, TOKENS_PER_SEQ=4. The intended capture list would be {4, 8, 12, ..., 128} (32 explicit sizes, one per decode batch of 1..32 sequences). Instead, vLLM falls back to its own default capture-size list (typically a geometric/log-spaced list of raw sizes, not multiples of 4), which adjust_cudagraph_sizes_for_spec_decode then rounds and dedups down to roughly MAX_NUM_SEQS/(1+N) ≈ 8 effective sequence-count buckets. Decode batches of roughly 9-32 sequences — exactly the high-concurrency regime this PR's DEP8 arm exists to exercise — get no matching captured graph and fall back to eager execution, which is markedly slower on ROCm. The benchmark will still run to completion and report numbers, but those numbers materially understate the throughput this configuration should achieve, undermining the PR's own stated goal of measuring DP-attention+EP8 throughput at conc=32.

Fix: Port the dsv4_fp4_b300_vllm_mtp.sh loop (or the b200 --max-cudagraph-capture-size approach) into this script, injecting cudagraph_capture_sizes into the --compilation-config string built at line 497 using the already-computed TOKENS_PER_SEQ and MAX_NUM_SEQS. This is a small, mechanical addition mirroring existing, validated code in the same directory.

🟡 In the lmcache KV-offload branch, trap cleanup_lmcache_server EXIT (line 235) is immediately overwritten by trap cleanup_agentic_services EXIT (line 246), and bash EXIT traps replace rather than stack, so cleanup_lmcache_server never runs. cleanup_agentic_services only stops ROUTER_PID, SERVER_PID, and MOONCAKE_MASTER_PID — it never references LMCACHE_PID — so the backgrounded lmcache server process orphans on every exit, leaking its host-DRAM pool and its LMCACHE_PORT/LMCACHE_HTTP_PORT binds for any lmcache invocation. This is dead for this PR's configured arms (both use kv-offloading: none) and is a verbatim copy of the same defect in the pre-existing sibling script dsv4_fp4_mi355x_vllm.sh, but it should be fixed by adding LMCACHE_PID cleanup to cleanup_agentic_services (or dropping the redundant first trap) before this recipe is run with the lmcache backend.

Extended reasoning...

The bug: in the lmcache) case branch of the KV-offload switch, line 235 sets trap cleanup_lmcache_server EXIT, where cleanup_lmcache_server is the only function in the script that kills $LMCACHE_PID. A handful of lines later, line 246 sets trap cleanup_agentic_services EXIT. Bash traps do not stack per signal — registering a second handler for EXIT fully replaces the first — so cleanup_lmcache_server is silently dead code from that point on; it will never execute for any exit path (normal completion, error under set -euo pipefail, or a caught INT/TERM).\n\nWhy the surviving handler doesn't save it: cleanup_agentic_services (lines 237-245) does trap - EXIT INT TERM (so no further handler can run either) and then calls stop_background_process_tree on exactly three PIDs: ROUTER_PID, SERVER_PID, and MOONCAKE_MASTER_PID. It never mentions LMCACHE_PID. The LMCache MP server is launched later (~line 349, "\" ... & then LMCACHE_PID=$!) as a direct backgrounded child of the top-level script, not a child of the vLLM server process, so killing SERVER_PID's process tree does not reap it either.\n\nStep-by-step proof:\n1. Script is invoked with KV_OFFLOAD_BACKEND=lmcache.\n2. Line 235: trap cleanup_lmcache_server EXIT registers the LMCache-killing handler.\n3. Line 246: trap cleanup_agentic_services EXIT overwrites that registration — bash keeps only one EXIT handler.\n4. Later, lmcache server ... is started in the background; LMCACHE_PID=$! captures its PID.\n5. The script later exits (success, an error from any of the many set -euo pipefail-sensitive commands, or a signal). The shell runs the current EXIT trap, cleanup_agentic_services.\n6. cleanup_agentic_services stops the router, vLLM server, and Mooncake master trees, then exit "$exit_code". LMCACHE_PID is never referenced, never signaled.\n7. The lmcache server process (holding its --l1-size-gb host-DRAM pool, e.g. up to TOTAL_CPU_DRAM_GB) keeps running as an orphan, with LMCACHE_PORT/LMCACHE_HTTP_PORT still bound, until something external (e.g. SLURM cgroup teardown) reaps it.\n\nImpact: on any bare-metal or non-cgrouped invocation with the lmcache backend, every run leaks an orphaned LMCache server holding a large host-memory allocation and its ports, which can block the next run's bind to the same ports and accumulate leaked processes across repeated runs.\n\nScope for this PR: both arms configured for dsv4-fp4-mi355x-vllm-agentic-mtp in amd-master.yaml use kv-offloading: none, so KV_OFFLOAD_BACKEND is never set to lmcache in this PR's sweep and the branch is not exercised — this doesn't affect CI or the configured benchmark runs. It's also not new logic invented by this PR: the identical trap-overwrite structure (trap cleanup_lmcache_server EXIT immediately superseded by trap cleanup_agentic_services EXIT, with the same PID list omitting LMCACHE_PID) already exists verbatim in the pre-existing sibling script benchmarks/single_node/agentic/dsv4_fp4_mi355x_vllm.sh (lines 221/232), which this MTP variant was cloned from.\n\nFix: add stop_background_process_tree "$LMCACHE_PID" "LMCache server" inside cleanup_agentic_services (removing the need for the separate, now-redundant cleanup_lmcache_server/first trap), or otherwise consolidate to a single EXIT handler that accounts for every backgrounded PID the lmcache branch can set.
