GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds debugging and profiling capabilities to a MOE module by introducing an environment-controlled dummy all-reduce operation for load balancing during timing analysis, alongside integration of ExpertStatistic metrics collection at key computation points in the forward pass.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
MOE Module Debugging & Profiling
tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/fused_moe/configurable_moe.py
Added enable_dummy_allreduce flag (initialized from TRTLLM_ENABLE_DUMMY_ALLREDUCE environment variable) and new dummy_allreduce() method that creates a small CUDA tensor and performs an all-reduce operation. Integrated ExpertStatistic metric collection calls after token slot computation and final scale determination. Injected dummy_allreduce() invocations before allgather operations in the forward path when the flag is enabled.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/fused_moe/configurable_moe.py (2)

226-227: Consider more robust environment variable parsing.

The current string comparison approach works but only accepts exactly "1" to enable. Consider using a more flexible approach that handles common truthy values:

🔎 Proposed refactor for more robust parsing
-        # Debug function for eliminating imbalance during performance analysis.
-        self.enable_dummy_allreduce = os.environ.get("TRTLLM_ENABLE_DUMMY_ALLREDUCE", "0") == "1"
+        # Debug function for eliminating imbalance during performance analysis.
+        self.enable_dummy_allreduce = os.environ.get("TRTLLM_ENABLE_DUMMY_ALLREDUCE", "0").lower() in ("1", "true", "yes")

243-251: Consider adding device availability check.

The method directly creates a CUDA tensor without checking device availability. While this is a debug feature, adding a safety check could prevent confusing errors if CUDA is not available.

🔎 Proposed enhancement for device safety
 def dummy_allreduce(self):
     """
     Debug function for eliminating imbalance during performance analysis.
     Creates a small dummy tensor and performs allreduce to synchronize processes
     and eliminate timing imbalances for more accurate profiling measurements.
     """
+    assert torch.cuda.is_available(), "CUDA must be available for dummy_allreduce"
     dummy_tensor = torch.zeros(4, dtype=torch.float32, device="cuda")
     dummy_tensor = self.all_reduce(dummy_tensor)
     return dummy_tensor

Always maintain the namespace when importing in Python, even if only one class or function from a module is used

31-31: LGTM: Import additions follow coding guidelines.

The import additions are correctly placed and follow the project's Python coding guidelines for maintaining namespace and import ordering.

Also applies to: 36-36


668-670: LGTM: Strategic placement for profiling synchronization.

The conditional dummy_allreduce calls are well-placed before key communication operations to eliminate timing imbalances during profiling. The feature is properly gated behind the environment variable flag, ensuring zero overhead when not enabled.

Also applies to: 735-736
