🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Keep alloc_tensors graph recording behavior in both runtime variants.
This change enables kernel-less allocation nodes in A2A3. The corresponding A5 path in src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/orchestrator_core/pto_orchestrator.cpp lines 1873-1882 still calls graph_record_mark_unsupported. Graph bodies that call alloc_tensors will replay on A2A3 but fall back to ordinary submission on A5.
Apply the same allocation-recording change to the A5 implementation. Based on learnings: “Maintain byte-for-byte parity between src/a5/runtime/host_build_graph/ and src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/ for corresponding files.”

Scope SIMPLER_SKIP_DEVICE_RUN to HBG runs.
The shared onboard API serves both architectures and all onboard runtime variants. The inherited variable makes any prepared run complete before device launch. An unrelated runtime can therefore return success without executing device work. Use a per-run or HBG-specific control.

Restrict the early completion check in the launch path to host_build_graph runs
instead of honoring SIMPLER_SKIP_DEVICE_RUN for every onboard runtime. Reuse the
run’s existing HBG-specific mode or per-run control when deciding whether to set
completion_rc and NativeRunPhase::Complete; non-HBG runs must continue through

Runs the tensormap_and_ringbuffer DeepSeek-V4 case under host_build_graph: same 43-layer network, same 367 kernels, same fixture, same comm-window protocol, only the runtime differs. decode_fwd_hostbuild.cpp is that case's orchestration with two edits, 51 lines in all, and the runtime untouched: - The ten get_tensor_data reads of recv_count_out stand in a constant. host_build_graph builds the whole graph before the device executes anything, so a read of a task-produced tensor has no value to return. The constant holds the per-expert tile loops at their real trip count, ceil(16/16) == 1, which is what the h_i8 [512, 2048] layout budgets per expert. - The six set_initial_value calls are dropped. Their target is a GM-heap device address the host orchestrator cannot store to; leaving them in segfaults the chip subprocess. The other 31 get_tensor_data reads are external tensors the runtime stages with a host view, and are left alone. Loop structure, submit order, dependencies and scope nesting are byte-identical to the source, so the graph keeps the size and shape of the real one (15971 tasks) but not the fixture's routing — hence skip_golden. manual because the 367-kernel compile takes minutes. Host-side construction completes and the graph uploads. Device execution stalls 12 tasks from the end, in hc_head_linear. README.md records the measurement, the ten causes ruled out one at a time on hardware, and the two threads still open.
simpler_launch_run returns immediately when the variable is set: orchestration, graph construction, image relocation and the SM H2D all run, the kernel launch and its completion wait do not, and simpler_finalize_run still releases the run's resources. The run is marked Complete with rc 0 before any execution claim is taken, so wait returns immediately and finalize walks its not-launched branch (kernel-args release, retire of the unused stream, SM pointer cleared, validate reads a null header and returns 0). No outputs are produced, so a run under this variable is a timing harness, not a test. The check sits at the launch entry rather than in simpler_run because the L3 multi-chip subprocess drives a run through the split prepare/launch/wait/finalize entry points and never calls simpler_run; simpler_launch_run is the one both paths pass through. The host_build_graph DeepSeek-V4 case builds its graph but stalls partway through device execution, which otherwise makes the host side of that case unmeasurable. This is a temporary handle on that, and goes away with the stall; see that case's README.md. The Graph-definition upload investigation measured its host-side table under this variable and had to disclaim it as absent from the tree; that note now describes what the knob does.
alloc_tensors marked the recording unsupported, which graph_end turns into "the recorded Graph contains a construct that Graph Execution does not support" — a hard failure, not the fallback its comment described. The stated reason, that runtime-allocated outputs cannot be replayed, does not hold. submit_dummy_task records the identical shape — the same graph_record_submit_node call with INVALID_KERNEL_ID in all three slots — and poisons nothing. Replay already reserves the intermediate heap for every internal node, so an allocation node's outputs land at addresses the replayed Definition derives for itself, exactly as a kernel node's do. Verified on a2a3 hardware and in simulation with an alloc_tensors call inside a Graph body: the Definition records, replays, and the numerics hold. Without this, an orchestration that allocates anywhere inside a Graph body cannot use Graph Execution at all.
A Graph boundary carried at most 32 tensors and 16 scalars because it was a CoreTaskArgs, whose capacity every task's payload inherits. Widening that capacity to hold a larger boundary would have grown PTO2TaskPayload from 4864 to 17152 bytes and, with it, every byte of payload shipped to the device — for a graph spanning a decoder layer, hundreds of megabytes. Nothing forces that coupling. graph_reset_outer_payload zeroes the outer GRAPH task's tensor_count, so the boundary never reaches a payload at all; it is read host-side only, by graph_boundary_matches and graph_build_submission_image. Give it its own type, GraphTaskArgs, holding 128 tensors and 64 scalars. PTO2TaskPayload is unchanged at 4864 bytes, the device sees the same bytes it saw before, and the cost lands on orchestration stack alone: 920 bytes per CoreTaskArgs as before, 2888 for the one Graph boundary. The scalar half is not hypothetical headroom. A Graph body is a free function, so every loop-invariant local the enclosing orchestration holds has to cross the boundary too — it can reach neither the caller's frame nor the loop variable. A decoder layer needs 31: four layer indices, twelve per-layer scales, and fifteen locals that would otherwise be in scope. graph_classify_scalar becomes a template because it takes both an internal node's CoreTaskArgs and the boundary's GraphTaskArgs; its identity test on the two now compares addresses through void, the types no longer matching. GRAPH_MAX_TENSOR_ARGS moves out of the shared graph_cache.h and into each arch's pto_types.h next to GraphTaskArgs, so the capacity and the type it sizes are declared together. a2a3 and a5 carry the same change, and the graph_execution scene tests and qwen3-14B decode case of both arches declare their boundary arguments and Graph body signatures with the new type.
decode_fwd_graph.cpp recasts the 20-iteration decoder layer loop (40 of the 43 layers) of the hostbuild baseline as one rt_submit_graph per iteration. The layer's task set becomes the Graph body, a free function that reads its per-layer weight views, scales, indices and the loop's invariant locals through GraphTaskArgs; the boundary is positional — args.tensor(i) in the body and the i-th add_input/add_inout at the submit site are the same slot, and both lists are emitted from one ordered walk so they cannot drift. The submit-everything form made the host hand 15991 tasks to the device scheduler per run; the Graph form records a 744-node Definition once and boots with 1131 host-submitted tasks (measured on both ranks on a2a3 hardware, ASCEND_GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL=1, host-orch boot line). The two hostbuild edits carry over unchanged: the ten get_tensor_data(recv_count_out) reads stand in HBG_RECV_ROWS_PER_EXPERT and the six set_initial_value calls are dropped. The non-Graph baseline stays in the tree and the README documents both: the baseline is what the stall investigation measured against, and the Graph variant is what the case now runs. Device-side replay of a Definition this size is not yet exercised — an unskipped run fails in Graph activation before the tail stall — so SIMPLER_SKIP_DEVICE_RUN host-side measurement is the verification path for now.
A chip child that received SHUTDOWN still has to release everything it imported before exiting. On a large-scope run (the dsv4 host_build_graph case: ~80 shm backings incl. a 2 GiB ring heap) that teardown measured ~12 s — past the 10 s _ROLLBACK_GRACEFUL_TIMEOUT_S the close path was sharing, so every teardown ended in "child process(es) did not exit within the close budget" even though the children were healthy and merely draining (py-spy showed them inside multiprocessing's SharedMemory close the whole window; no CANN call was involved). The close path now uses its own 60 s constant. Rollback keeps the tighter 10 s: its graceful wait guards an unlink-only path where exceeding the budget means the child is stuck and should be killed, which is the opposite trade-off from a child doing proportional exit work.
The overlap-recording path deep-copies a Graph boundary into GraphOwnedArgs and hands the copy to the recording worker. That copy held a CoreTaskArgs, which caps a boundary at MAX_TENSOR_ARGS and silently truncates the wider boundary GraphTaskArgs exists to carry — DeepSeek-V4's attention block needs 47 tensors against that type's 32. GraphOwnedArgs, graph_prepare and the record callbacks now take GraphTaskArgs, so the type is the same on both sides of the worker hand-off. The static_assert that GRAPH_MAX_TENSOR_ARGS covers MAX_TENSOR_ARGS goes with it: source and destination are now the same capacity, so the arrays cannot be too small.

Cutting this case's one 743-node layer-pair Definition into four block Definitions, and replaying two of them at the peeled last layer, is the obvious next step: a layer pair occurs 20 times but a block occurs up to 43, and the form does cover 41 of the 43 layers with the device-side task count preserved exactly at 15971. It is nonetheless a regression on main, because graph_begin holds one recording slot for the whole orchestration and silently demotes a Graph whose key differs from the in-flight recording's — four distinct keys submitted back to back get about every other one recorded, and each demoted submission pays its block's nodes at full ordinary cost. Measured: 79 of 82 intended submissions, host-submitted tasks 1131 -> 1486. The entry keeps what the work established rather than the code: the block-level structural map (367 kernels fall into 169 classes by code and signature, 132 by code alone; which blocks can share a Definition and why the hash-routed MoE cannot, its epoch being folded into three kernels), the two counters that index the weights, the last layer's different hc_post destination, and the arithmetic that a recorded node costs about what a submitted task costs so break-even sits near three occurrences. Pre-hw-native-sys#1897 numbers are recorded too, since they are what the decomposition is worth once every submission records. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Compare
Two contracts moved under these tests and the C++ unit build caught both. A Graph boundary is a GraphTaskArgs, so the boundary locals the tests hand to graph_begin / graph_prepare / rt_submit_graph_impl / rt_graph_args_cacheable — and the fake ops-table entries and record callbacks that receive them — change type with it. The node args a body submits stay CoreTaskArgs; the names already carry the distinction (boundary_args / worker_args against node_args / alloc_args), so the retype follows them. RuntimeAllocationInsideTheBodyPoisonsTheRecording asserted the behavior this branch replaces: a body that allocates no longer poisons its recording, it records a kernel-less node. Rewritten as RuntimeAllocationInsideTheBodyRecordsAKernellessNode, asserting the allocation gets a task id, graph_end publishes, and the commit latches no fatal — the inverse of every assertion it used to make, including the debug/release assert-vs-false dance the poisoned path needed. cpput: 107/107 pass.

What this does
Re-proposes the work of #1860 against
main. That PR merged intoperf/hbg-orch,so none of it reached
main; its first commit (the #1838 TMR dsv4 case) arrivedhere by another route and is dropped from this branch.
It brings the DeepSeek-V4 FLASH decode network (43 layers, 367 kernels, EP2/TP2
dual-rank) to
host_build_graphand casts its orchestration in the Graph form:the 20-iteration decoder layer loop (40 of 43 layers) becomes one
rt_submit_graphper iteration, so the host records a 743-node Definition onceinstead of submitting ~15.6k tasks per run.
Measured on a2a3 hardware (both ranks, host-orch boot line):
Commits
Add: DeepSeek-V4 FLASH decode as a host_build_graph scene test— the caseand its README (what the tail stall is, what has been ruled out).
Add: SIMPLER_SKIP_DEVICE_RUN to stop a run after prepare— temporary timinghandle that stops a run at
simpler_launch_run, the one entry both thesimpler_runpath and the chip subprocess's splitprepare/launch/wait/finalize path pass through.
Fix: let a Graph body allocate instead of voiding the recording—alloc_tensorsinside a body no longer marks the recording unsupported.Applied to both arches (a5 was missing it; review comment addressed).
Add: size the Graph boundary independently of CoreTaskArgs—GraphTaskArgscarries 128 tensors / 64 scalars, decoupled fromCoreTaskArgs(dsv4 needs 118 boundary tensors and 31 scalars);sizeof(PTO2TaskPayload)unchanged at 4864 bytes, zero H2D impact.Add: DeepSeek-V4 FLASH decode orchestration in Graph form—decode_fwd_graph.cpp, with the positionalGraphTaskArgsboundary emittedfrom one ordered walk on both sides.
Fix: give the close-path child reap its own 60 s budget— a chip childdraining ~80 shm backings (incl. a 2 GiB ring heap) needs longer than the
10 s rollback budget it was sharing.
Fix: carry the Graph boundary type through the async recording path— new,required by the rebase onto host_build_graph: overlap Graph recording with outer submissions #1897. That change deep-copies a Graph boundary
into
GraphOwnedArgsand hands the copy to a recording worker; the copy helda
CoreTaskArgs, which caps a boundary atMAX_TENSOR_ARGS(32) and sotruncates the 118-tensor boundary commit 4 exists to carry.
GraphOwnedArgs,graph_prepareand the record callbacks now takeGraphTaskArgs.Add: record why per-block Graph Definitions were dropped— an investigationentry, no code. See below.
Rebased onto
main(6f56ce6)#1897 landed in between and rewrote the recording path (async recording on a
persistent worker, overlapped with the outer submissions). Conflicts in both
arches'
pto_orchestrator.cpp,pto_orchestration_api.h,pto_orchestrator.hand
pto_runtime2.hwere resolved by keeping upstream's structure and retypingthe Graph-boundary-carrying signatures, plus commit 7 above.
The per-block decomposition, and why it is not here
The natural next step — cut the one layer-pair Definition into four block
Definitions (
csa_attn/csa_moe/hca_attn/hca_moe) so the sameDefinitions cover every layer instead of 40 of 43 — was built, measured and
dropped. It works structurally: 41 of 43 layers covered, the device-side task
count preserved exactly at 15971, and every submission that recorded hit its
Definition. It regresses on
mainanyway, becausegraph_beginholds onerecording slot for the whole orchestration and silently demotes a Graph whose key
differs from the in-flight recording's, so four distinct keys submitted back to
back get about every other one recorded and each demotion pays its block's nodes
at full ordinary cost: 79 of 82 intended submissions, host-submitted tasks
1131 → 1486. Measured before #1897, the same form gave 1131 → 835 tasks and
the orchestration window 4.31 → 3.15 ms.
Commit 8 records the structural map the work established (367 kernels → 169
classes by code and signature, 132 by code alone; which blocks can share a
Definition and why the hash-routed MoE cannot; the two counters that index the
weights; the last layer's different
hc_postdestination) plus the arithmeticthat a recorded node costs about what a submitted task costs, so break-even sits
near three occurrences.
Verification
host_build_graphruntimes both build after the rebase.graph_executionscene tests: 2 passed ona2a3sim, 2 passed ona5sim.SIMPLER_SKIP_DEVICE_RUN=1(
task-submit, 2 dies), post-rebase: PASSED on 4 runs × 3 rounds × 2 ranks— 1131 host tasks, 20 Graph submissions, all hits, no
[GraphExecution]fallback.Graph-form run fails in Graph activation (
sched_error_code=5 INVALID_ARGS) —under investigation. The non-Graph baseline executes 15959 of 15971 tasks and
stalls at
hc_head_linear; that stall predates the Graph work and is unchangedby it. Both are documented in the case README. The case is
manualandskip_golden, so it does not gate CI.Defects this work surfaced (not fixed here)
