From e122df15ea647e4aca10538fdf7a2cf1839e632a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gasoonjia Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 02:39:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [cuda] Enable AOTI export of large models on memory-constrained GPUs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary Enable end-to-end ExecuTorch export of large models (e.g. Qwen3.5-35B-A3B HQQ-INT4, ~18 GB of weights) under tight GPU memory budgets such as the 24 GB cap of consumer cards (RTX 4090 / 3090 / etc.) using the CUDA AOTI backend. Out of the box, calling `torch._inductor.aot_compile` on this model on a 24 GB-capped GPU OOMs in two distinct places: 1. **`_unlift_graph` clones every mutated buffer onto the model's target device.** After `move_to_device_pass(...)` that target is CUDA, so we end up with a transient ~18 GB GPU clone of the model weights on top of the live model — instant OOM. 2. **Inductor / Triton internal caches keep multi-GB worth of CUDA tensors alive between method compilations.** When ExecuTorch lowers a multi-method export (e.g. decode + prefill) those leftovers stack up, so the second method's compile starts from a half-full GPU and OOMs again under the 24 GB cap. This diff workarounds both issues in `CudaBackend` only — no changes to PyTorch core, no impact on Metal / other AOTI backends. ## What this diff does `backends/cuda/cuda_backend.py`: 1. **`_compile_time_cpu_clones(target_device)`** — context manager that wraps `torch._inductor.compile_fx.clone_preserve_strides` so the buffer clones produced by `_unlift_graph` land on CPU instead of the target device. The wrap is **frame-discriminated** (`sys._getframe(1).f_code.co_name == "_unlift_graph"`) so it does *not* affect `triton_heuristics.py:1101`, which re-imports the same symbol for autotune benchmark inputs that legitimately must stay on GPU. It also wraps `CppWrapperCpu.codegen_device` so the generated `constants_info_[i].device_type` still points at the real model target device (e.g. cuda), preventing a mixed-device runtime error when the constants are loaded back at inference time. 2. **`get_extra_aoti_compile_context_manager()`** — chains the existing SDPA-MATH manager with `_compile_time_cpu_clones` via an `ExitStack`, so both fire around the `torch._inductor.aot_compile` call in `AotiBackend.preprocess`. 3. **`preprocess_multimethod()`** — overrides the base implementation with a CUDA-specific cleanup loop that runs after every method compile. It walks `gc.get_objects()`, finds every live CUDA tensor, and calls `untyped_storage().resize_(0)` on it. This is how we release ~18 GB of stale Inductor / Triton cache leftovers between `decode` and `prefill` compiles. We need the in-place `resize_(0)` (rather than `del + gc.collect()`) because the cache still holds Python references — only forcibly emptying the storage reclaims the GPU memory. Other AOTI backends (Metal/MPS) inherit the default no-cleanup base implementation and are unaffected. ## Verified behavior - `python -m executorch.examples.models.qwen3_5_moe.export --prequantized --backend cuda` succeeds end-to-end with `torch.cuda.set_per_process_memory_fraction(0.3, 0)` on an 80 GB A100 (= 24 GB visible) — peak GPU usage during compile stays at ~19 GB. - Both `[CLEANUP]` lines fire and report ~18.29 GB freed per method. - `qwen3_5_moe_runner` inference produces coherent text and matches the perf of an unconstrained-VRAM export within measurement noise (1903 tok/s prefill, 160 tok/s decode on A100 with `--cuda_graph=true`, 571-token prompt + 128 generated, GPU peak 18 GB). ## What should eventually move upstream The three workarounds here all paper over real PyTorch issues that deserve a proper fix in core: 1. **`_unlift_graph` cloning on the target device.** Cloning lifted buffers onto whatever device they happen to live on is not free — for large models the clone alone OOMs. Inductor should either stage the clone on CPU explicitly or expose an option to do so. Today we have to monkey-patch `clone_preserve_strides` *and* the wrapper's device codegen to compensate; both could be replaced by a first-class API such as `aot_compile(..., clone_buffers_on="cpu")` plus an internal "original device of constant" record so the C++ wrapper writes the right `constants_info_`. 2. **Inductor / Triton caches leak compile-time CUDA tensors.** After `aot_compile` returns the `.so` and `.ptd` are written, the result bytes are in our hands, and every CUDA tensor still alive is by definition stale. Today we have to walk `gc.get_objects()` and manually release each storage. Inductor should drain its own caches (`PyCodeCache`, `CompiledFxGraph`, `CachingAutotuner`, …) at the end of an `aot_compile` call, or at least expose a `torch._inductor.reset_compile_caches()` helper. 3. **`wrap_triton` has no `mutates_args` parameter.** This is the underlying reason `identify_mutated_tensors` exists at all: the inner HOP for a Triton kernel call has to re-derive mutations from TTIR because the user can't declare them. A future `wrap_triton(kernel, mutates_args={"C"})` would let kernel authors short-circuit the TTIR analysis (and avoid the historical fallback that marks every input as mutated, which still shows up in older PyTorch / Triton combinations). Once those land, the entire monkey-patch block in this file can be deleted. ## Test Plan - Manual: ran `python -m executorch.examples.models.qwen3_5_moe.export --prequantized ... --backend cuda` with `torch.cuda.set_per_process_memory_fraction(0.3, 0)` (24 GB cap on an 80 GB A100). Export succeeded; both `[CLEANUP]` lines fired; peak GPU usage stayed under 24 GB. - Manual: ran `qwen3_5_moe_runner` against the exported `.pte` / `.ptd`. Inference produced coherent output, prefill 1903 tok/s, decode 160 tok/s with `--cuda_graph=true`, GPU peak 18 GB. - Unaffected backends: Metal / other AOTI backends inherit the default `BackendDetails.preprocess_multimethod` (no cleanup) and are not touched by this diff. --- backends/cuda/cuda_backend.py | 159 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 146 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/backends/cuda/cuda_backend.py b/backends/cuda/cuda_backend.py index 5c6395c8b5b..59f2063dd6f 100644 --- a/backends/cuda/cuda_backend.py +++ b/backends/cuda/cuda_backend.py @@ -5,9 +5,11 @@ # LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree. +import contextlib import logging import os import shutil +import threading import typing from importlib import resources from typing import Any, Dict, final, List, Optional @@ -27,6 +29,83 @@ from torch.nn.attention import SDPBackend +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# AOTI compile-time CPU clones for mutated buffers +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# +# Inductor's `_unlift_graph` clones every mutated buffer that gets lifted into +# the AOTI graph.

Without those fixes the peak shoots to ~37 GB and CI will fail loudly. - The threshold is intentionally tighter than the 24 GB physical cap to leave room for measurement noise and small allocator overhead. ## Test Plan - Manual: ran `python -m executorch.examples.models.qwen3_5_moe.export --prequantized --backend cuda` and confirmed the marker line is printed at the end with a sensible value (~18 GB). - Manual: simulated CI gate logic locally with the marker line and confirmed both the success path and the failure path (forced threshold below the actual peak) behave as expected. --- .ci/scripts/export_model_artifact.sh | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- examples/models/qwen3_5_moe/export.py | 14 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/.ci/scripts/export_model_artifact.sh b/.ci/scripts/export_model_artifact.sh index 4476a403540..78053c33e7a 100755 --- a/.ci/scripts/export_model_artifact.sh +++ b/.ci/scripts/export_model_artifact.sh @@ -415,14 +415,40 @@ if [ "$MODEL_NAME" = "qwen3_5_moe" ]; then # Export to .pte/.ptd (short cache dir avoids objcopy symbol length issues) echo "::group::Export" + EXPORT_LOG=$(mktemp) TORCHINDUCTOR_CACHE_DIR="$INDUCTOR_CACHE" \ python -m executorch.examples.models.qwen3_5_moe.export \ --prequantized "$LOCAL_MODEL_DIR" \ --output-dir "${OUTPUT_DIR}" \ --dense-prefill dequant \ - --moe-activation-dtype int8 + --moe-activation-dtype int8 2>&1 | tee "$EXPORT_LOG" + EXPORT_RC=${PIPESTATUS[0]} echo "::endgroup::" + if [ "$EXPORT_RC" -ne 0 ]; then + echo "ERROR: Qwen3.5 MoE export failed (exit $EXPORT_RC)" + rm -f "$EXPORT_LOG" + exit "$EXPORT_RC" + fi + + # Gate peak GPU memory so we keep the export viable on consumer GPUs + # (e.g. RTX 4090 with 24 GB).
