From fe8aa54fdf18ca1de34361675dacb7d1e509833e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peppi Littera Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 11:43:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] dflash: cross-request prefix cache (Phase A of agentic plan) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds a snapshot/restore mechanism so the C++ daemon can preserve target KV + SSM/conv + target_feat state across HTTP requests. Subsequent turns in an agent loop that share a system prompt skip the system-prefill cost (previously paid in full on every turn since the daemon called free_target_cache + create_target_cache between requests). C++ side -------- - New PrefixSnapshot struct (internal.h): owns its own ggml_context + backend buffer, holds slim KV per layer + SSM/conv/target_feat per layer + cur_pos + last_tok + kv_k_type + max_ctx for sanity checks. Skips ssm_intermediate / conv_input_cache (within-decode rollback buffers, regenerated on first decode step after restore). - snapshot_target_cache, restore_target_cache, free_prefix_snapshot in qwen35_target_graph.cpp using ggml_backend_tensor_copy. Lazy alloc (first SNAPSHOT call), reuse on subsequent refreshes. - TargetCache gains a last_tok field, used solely by the prefix-cache bridge: when restored cur_pos == prompt_len the prefill loop runs zero iterations and the decode seed comes from the restored last_tok. Daemon protocol (test_dflash.cpp) --------------------------------- - Adds 4 new commands on stdin, dispatched before the legacy bare prompt line: SNAPSHOT N, RESTORE N , FREE_SNAPSHOT N, LIST_SLOTS. Replies on stdout: [snap] slot=N cur_pos=P / [snap] freed slot=N / [snap] slots=A,B,C. - prefill loop reads from cache.cur_pos as start (0 for fresh, >0 after restore). Restored cache + matching-length prompt -> zero-iter prefill, decode seeds from cache.last_tok. - Hard cap of PREFIX_CACHE_SLOTS = 8 in the daemon. - End-of-iteration writes cache.cur_pos = out_all.size() and cache.last_tok so the next SNAPSHOT command captures correct boundary. - Frees all snapshot slots on daemon exit. Python side ----------- - New scripts/prefix_cache.py: * DaemonStdoutBus owns the stdout read loop, routes [snap]-prefixed lines to waiting coroutines, suppresses noisy [step]/[timing] logs. * PrefixCache stores hash -> slot_id LRU. lookup() returns (slot_id, prefix_len) or None. maybe_snapshot() does a SECOND n_gen=0 prefill of the prefix-only tokens, then SNAPSHOT — this aligns the snapshot's cur_pos exactly with the cache key's prefix length (one extra system prefill on cold turns, recovered many times over on subsequent warm turns). * find_prefix_boundary auto-detects the FIRST end-of-system-message boundary in Qwen chat templates, allowing one intervening newline token between im_end and im_start. * hash_prefix uses SHA-1 truncated to 16 bytes over (token ids, kv_k_type, fa_window). * DAEMON_MAX_SLOTS = 8 clamp; cap > limit emits a warning. - server.py + server_tools.py: * --prefix-cache-slots N CLI flag (default 4, 0 disables). * Daemon spawn now uses stdout=PIPE so DaemonStdoutBus can route protocol replies. * Resolve effective KV-K type + fa_window from DFLASH27B_* env vars at daemon spawn time (mirrors C++ daemon's env parsing) and pass into PrefixCache so they're part of the hash key — daemon restart with different flags can't return stale state. * 4 lookup/maybe_snapshot call sites per file (stream + non-stream for /v1/chat/completions and /v1/messages). On miss send the bare prompt line, then maybe_snapshot drains via _drain_pipe_to_sentinel helper so the next protocol command is clean. Verification ------------ - nm: new symbols snapshot_target_cache, restore_target_cache, free_prefix_snapshot in libdflash27b.a. - C++ smoke (manual /tmp/smoke_restore.py): cold prompt n_gen=8 -> [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h] cold same prompt n_gen=4 + SNAPSHOT 0 -> shared_4 = [a,b,c,d] RESTORE 0 + n_gen=4 -> warm_4 = [e,f,g,h] byte-equal continuation. - End-to-end (test_server_prefix_cache.py): 5K-token system prompt, three turns at max_tokens=8. turn_1 9.87s (cold + snapshot warm-up) turn_2 0.48s ratio_2/1 = 0.05 turn_3 0.44s ratio_3/1 = 0.04 All replies non-empty and consistent. ~20x speedup on warm turns. Reviewed by codex; this commit incorporates the two correctness fixes flagged: hash inputs now use real env-var-derived values instead of hardcoded "q8_0"/2048 literals, and Python cap is clamped to the daemon's PREFIX_CACHE_SLOTS = 8 hard limit so configurations above it can't cause silent SNAPSHOT failures. The third codex finding (boundary detector won't handle tool-definition preambles or multi-segment system messages) is documented as a follow-up under server_tools.py — current detector covers the simple Qwen system+user case; tool-using clients fall back to no-cache silently. Plan file: ~/.claude/plans/yes-please-plan-for-luminous-pudding.md Phase A (~1 week scope) of a 4-phase agentic-friendly KV/state plan. Phase B (block-chain mid-conversation cache), Phase C (sliding KV growth), Phase E (tool-loop incremental tokenization) are deferred to follow-up commits. --- dflash/scripts/prefix_cache.py | 338 +++++++++++++++++++++ dflash/scripts/server.py | 109 ++++++- dflash/scripts/server_tools.py | 102 ++++++- dflash/scripts/test_server_prefix_cache.py | 112 +++++++ dflash/src/internal.h | 58 ++++ dflash/src/qwen35_target_graph.cpp | 134 ++++++++ dflash/test/test_dflash.cpp | 107 ++++++- 7 files changed, 934 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dflash/scripts/prefix_cache.py create mode 100644 dflash/scripts/test_server_prefix_cache.py diff --git a/dflash/scripts/prefix_cache.py b/dflash/scripts/prefix_cache.py new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f42789dff --- /dev/null +++ b/dflash/scripts/prefix_cache.py @@ -0,0 +1,338 @@ +"""Phase A: single-point prefix cache. + +Auto-detects the system-prompt boundary in token id streams via Qwen chat +template markers, hashes prefixes, and maintains an LRU map of hash → daemon +slot id.

C++ side (B.1 + B.2) -------------------- - PrefixSnapshot gains is_thin / kv_start / kv_end fields and two new primitives: snapshot_target_cache_thin and restore_target_cache_chain. Thin snapshots capture only KV slice [kv_start, kv_end); chain restore loads a thick base then layers thins. Implemented via per-strip H2D+D2H staging since ggml_backend_tensor_copy refuses views with mismatched layouts (verified by spike_thin_copy.cpp on Q8_0 / TQ3_0 / F16). - Daemon protocol: SNAPSHOT_THIN N kv_start kv_end and RESTORE_CHAIN thick_slot thin_slots prompt_file n_gen. The thin/chain primitives remain unused by Phase B's actual flow (see "design pivot" below) but are kept for future block-chain extensions. Design pivot ------------ Original plan called for a thick-anchor + thin-chain cache. On implementation it became clear that thin snapshots only capture KV; SSM/conv state can't be reconstructed from KV alone (DeltaNet recurrence is non-replayable without re-running prefill). A chain restore would land at the thick's cur_pos with valid SSM, then need DeltaNet replay through the thin range — defeating the savings. Pivoted to a simpler "multi-slot THICK LRU" design that delivers the same user-visible win: cache full state at multiple block boundaries, restore the deepest matching THICK on lookup, prefill only the new suffix. Memory cost (4 thick slots × ~244 MB ≈ 1 GB) matches what the thick+thin chain would have used. Python side (B.3 + B.4) ----------------------- - find_all_boundaries enumerates every <|im_end|><|im_start|> boundary after the system marker (allows up to 2 intervening tokens to handle the newline separator Qwen emits). - PrefixCache.lookup walks all candidate cuts and returns the deepest cached match (longest-prefix); LRU touched on every hit. - PrefixCache.maybe_snapshot iterates ALL boundaries on cache miss and snapshots each that's not already cached, evicting LRU when over cap. - Each snapshot still uses Phase A's n_gen=0 prefill + SNAPSHOT pattern to land at the exact boundary cur_pos. Multi-snapshot increases cold-turn latency proportionally (e.g. 5-turn test: turn 1 13.5 s vs Phase A's ~10 s), but turns 2-5 all benefit. - server.py / server_tools.py: zero changes — API surface stayed the same (lookup returns (slot, prefix_len) or None). Tests (B.5) ----------- - spike_thin_copy.cpp validates the per-strip staging-copy approach used by snapshot_target_cache_thin (works on Q8_0, TQ3_0, F16). - test_multi_turn_prefix_cache.py: 5-turn agent loop, ~2K-token system prompt, growing history. RTX 3090 + Qwen3.6-27B-Q4_K_XL: turn 1 13.53 s (cold + multi-snapshot warm-up) turn 2 0.55 s ratio 0.04 turn 3 0.70 s ratio 0.05 turn 4 0.85 s ratio 0.06 turn 5 1.23 s ratio 0.09 All warm turns < 30 % of cold turn 1; turn 5 still 11x faster than turn 1. - Existing test_server_prefix_cache.py (3-turn shared system prompt) remains green: turn 2/3 at 3 % of turn 1. Codex review of Phase A's hardcoded hash inputs and slot-cap mismatch were addressed in the Phase A commit (e429894). Codex's third finding (boundary detector won't handle tool-definition preambles in server_tools.py) is still open and tracked as a follow-up; the new find_all_boundaries inherits that limitation. Bench branch: feat/prefix-cache (cumulative Phase A + B).

If the request aborted before confirm_inline_snap ran, the old entry was already gone AND the new one was never registered, stranding a daemon slot until process restart. Reserve the slot via _pending_evict_key without removing the old entry; pop + insert atomically in confirm_inline_snap. Add abort_inline_snap for explicit cancellation. Also adds bench_agent_loop.py — replays real Claude Code session JSONL turns through the dflash server with prefix-cache off vs on. On 5 short real-session turns: turn-1 6.28x (page cache + warmup), turns 2-5 ~equal because real-session prompts are too short for prefix-cache to dominate. The synthetic 2K-system test (test_multi_turn_prefix_cache.py) is where the cache actually wins. Both issues raised in the codex review of the Phase B + B.7 + B.8 work; the High one (last_tok=-1 after no-op restore prefill) was already covered by the cache.last_tok bridge added earlier. --- dflash/scripts/bench_agent_loop.py | 191 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ dflash/scripts/prefix_cache.py | 38 +++++- 2 files changed, 225 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dflash/scripts/bench_agent_loop.py diff --git a/dflash/scripts/bench_agent_loop.py b/dflash/scripts/bench_agent_loop.py new file mode 100644 index 000000000..63753f749 --- /dev/null +++ b/dflash/scripts/bench_agent_loop.py @@ -0,0 +1,191 @@ +"""B.6: agent-loop bench using real Claude Code session messages. + +Extracts the first N user-text turns from a session JSONL, replays them +sequentially through the dflash server, and reports per-turn latency +under two configs: prefix-cache enabled vs disabled. + +Usage: + python3 dflash/scripts/bench_agent_loop.py [--turns N] [--session PATH] + +Default session = most recent JSONL under +~/.claude/projects/-home-peppi-Dev-lucebox-hub/. + +Each turn's user text is the real human prompt from the session.

The bench replays only typed human prompts with bench-synthesised assistant replies in between, with no tool I/O. Tool I/O is the bulk of an agentic prefix: typical prefix grows from ~5K chars at turn 1 to 60-300K by turn 30. Validated against a real session (32 assistant turns, ~95K chars at the last call): the old loader extracts 7 typed-user turns; the new loader walks all 32 call points with faithful prefix growth. The PR's own commit message ("Real-session prompts are too short for the cache to dominate; cold and warm turns 2-5 are within noise") is a measurement artefact of the loader, not a property of the cache. Replace `extract_user_turns()` with a transcript loader that: 1. Coalesces consecutive same-role records into single turns (one logical LLM turn = N JSONL rows). 2. Converts Anthropic blocks → OpenAI messages: text → content, tool_use → assistant.tool_calls, tool_result → tool message, thinking dropped. 3. At each assistant index, sends the exact prefix that was sent at that point (system + everything before this assistant turn, tool I/O included) and advances state via the recorded assistant turn, not a bench-synthesised one. Also switch the chat call to streaming SSE so we measure TTFT separately from total wall — TTFT is what the prefix cache accelerates, total wall mixes prefill speedup with decode rate. Preserved: cold (slots=0) vs warm (slots=N) dual-server structure, --turns / --session interface, per-turn ratio table (now with TTFT and wall columns). Default session dir derives the workspace from CWD (replace `/` with `-`) instead of hardcoding `-home-peppi-Dev-lucebox-hub`.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three follow-ups after running v1 against the PR's server: 1. The server's ChatRequest/ChatMessage schema requires `content` and ignores `tool_calls`/role=tool, so emitting structured tool messages produces 422s on every call after the first. Flatten tool_use → `{json args}` text in assistant content; tool_result → `...` text in user content. One message per turn, role in {system,user,assistant}, content always a string. Same on-wire prefix bytes (which is what the cache cares about), runs cleanly against the PR's server. 2. Add a discarded warmup call before the timed loop. Without this the first cold call eats ~95s of CUDA graph capture / kernel JIT one-time cost and dominates the totals. 3. Restore PR #59's `"You are a precise coding assistant..."` system prompt at message[0]. Realistic shape, deterministic prefix. 4. Bump default --n-gen 8 → 64. Qwen 3.6 is a thinking model that spends tokens in `reasoning_content`; 8 was too tight to ever emit a completion token. (Headline metric is TTFT regardless, but a non-zero n_tok lets us report decode tok/s when present.)

Point at server_tools.py instead of server.py. server_tools is the production agent-CLI endpoint and has the prefix cache fully wired in (lookup / prepare_inline_snap / confirm_inline_snap at all four /v1 handlers). server.py doesn't accept tool_calls in its schema, which led v2 to flatten tool I/O into / text — that worked but obscured what the bench was actually measuring. 2. Revert the flattening hack in _to_openai_messages. Now emits proper structured tool messages: tool_use → assistant.tool_calls[].function.{name,arguments} tool_result → role="tool" message with tool_call_id server_tools accepts this directly (ChatMessage.content: Any | None, tool_calls + tool_call_id fields). What's on the wire matches what real OpenAI-compat agent CLIs send, so the bench measures the path that production traffic actually takes. 3. Token-count fallback in _stream_chat. PR #59's server does NOT honour stream_options.include_usage — no usage chunk is ever emitted on /v1/chat/completions. Without a fallback every call reports n_tok=0 even when 64 content deltas streamed. Now we prefer usage.completion_tokens when present, otherwise count content/reasoning/tool deltas as a proxy. System prompt and warmup-call still in place from the previous commit; --n-gen default still 64.

The CU_CHECK macro hits GGML_ABORT but the abort doesn't actually terminate, leaving the just-mapped region without access permissions. Every subsequent read/write into that region silently misbehaves — for the prefix cache, snapshots of KV state get stored into the broken region and restore as zeroed/garbled state, making the model emit 0 tokens with finish_reason=stop. Manifests on PR #59's inline-snap path because it interleaves compute with allocations on the same backend (snapshot copies during prefill followed by gallocr / rollback / cache rebuild allocations). The fix adds a cudaDeviceSynchronize before the cuMem* sequence in the pool extension branch — only fires when the pool actually grows, so steady-state hot-path allocations are unaffected. llama.cpp PR: https://github.com/Luce-Org/llama.cpp-dflash-ggml/pull/4 Submodule URL temporarily pointed at easel's fork (branch fix/cuda-vmm-pool-extension-race) until the upstream PR merges. After merge, revert .gitmodules to Luce-Org/llama.cpp.git@luce-dflash and bump the submodule pointer to the merge commit.
