Why and what changed

Lands the 2026-10 systematic collection campaign: 24 system x framework cells — b200_sxm, b300_sxm, gb200, gb300, h100_sxm, h200_sxm, l40s, rtx_pro_6000_server x vLLM 0.30.0 / TRT-LLM 1.3.0rc29 / SGLang 0.5.21 — as 508 perf tables, 14,547,494 rows, under python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/systems/data/<system>/<family>/<backend>/<version>/.

• Tables were routed with the collector harness' own publish_results.py (family from collector/op_backend_catalog.yaml); the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition measurements land under the shipped system name rtx_pro_6000_server.
• Every new version directory carries a schema-v2 collection_meta.yaml: one collections event per collected shard (collector ref/hash, case-plan hash, date, rows, status) and rows = rows of the merged table.
• perf_data_reuse_manifest.yaml regenerated with tools/perf_database/generate_perf_data_reuse_manifest.py: 248 → 292 groups after the merge with main (24 kernel_sources are new in this campaign's versions, 20 more come from main's GLM-5.3-Flash tables which chore: data integration for GLM-5.3-Flash Ops (GB300, GB200, B300, H200, H100) #538 landed without regenerating the manifest; e.g. vLLM's flashinfer trtllm-gen / xqa decode attention and DeepGEMM fp8 MoE, SGLang's FLASHINFER_MLA_SPARSE_SM120). The renderer now writes only the fields something reads — op_file / kernel_source / tier / frameworks for the Rust resolver, systems for test_reuse_ordering — and leaves the row / dedup / divergence counters in its --out-json / --out-md outputs. That removes the counter lines once (−504) and stops every future data refresh from churning ~750 manifest lines that nothing consumed. benchmarks/reports/perf-data/perf-data-reuse-analysis.md is not touched: no code reads it, and main's own data commits (fix: repair vLLM DSA collector and replace B200 data #404 / fix: replace vLLM DSA profiles for remaining GPUs #409 / chore: data integration #427 / B60) did not regenerate it either.
• query_versions.yaml: the slots move (tianhaox, 2026-10-27). Rule, now stated in the file header, docs/replay/engine/README.md and docs/perf-model/support-matrix.md: current = the newest completed FULL collection (whole case plan on the fleet), previous = the full collection it replaced, next = the in-development version (highest version newer than current with any data, typically a single-op/model drop) and, when nothing newer has data, next == current (get_version_slots implements the fallback; the a100/b60 override baselines still expose no next). Applied: trtllm current 1.3.0rc29 / previous 1.3.0rc20 / next = current; sglang 0.5.21 / 0.5.14 / next = current (main's 0.5.20 GLM-5.3-Flash drop is older than current); vllm 0.30.0 / 0.24.0 / next = 0.31.0 (main's chore: data integration for GLM-5.3-Flash Ops (GB300, GB200, B300, H200, H100) #538 GLM-5.3-Flash ops drop: 5 systems, 6 families; every other table backward-fills from 0.30.0). Explicit raw queries for the old next versions (vllm 0.27.1, trtllm 1.3.0rc23, sglang 0.5.17) and for the old current (vllm 0.24.0 is now previous, still listed) follow the usual exact-version gate.
• No comm tables were collected (comm is outside the campaign plan). Under the shared layer a current load backward-fills custom_allreduce / moe_a2a from the previous same-backend version (the resolver's channel 3), so SILICON estimates are unaffected; EMPIRICAL mode needs the version's own comm utilization grid, so the seven *-empirical parity cases stay pinned to the raw 0.24.0 / 0.5.14 coordinates with allow_unlisted_version, and tests that disable the shared layer pin 0.24.0 explicitly.
• nvfp4 MoE EP scaling re-collected (2026-10-28). Review of the b200 tables showed that for moe/vllm/0.30.0 and moe/sglang/0.5.21 on SM100 (b200_sxm, b300_sxm, gb200, gb300) the nvfp4 rows had broken expert-parallel scaling: from the EP where tokens*topk/local_experts > 128 the latency at EP=E equalled the latency at EP=E/8 (99.7% match over 7,579 series; see the anomaly list in the campaign record). Root cause (op-probe harness, confirmed by an A/B probe on b200): both collectors timed FlashInfer's trtllm-gen nvfp4 MoE on its UNTUNED default tactic, whose tile heuristic is EP-unaware, while vLLM and SGLang serve it autotuned. The collector now runs FlashInfer's autotuner before timing (tianhaox/aisimulate 3b070dc → e0163dc → a8d79b2, collector budget warmup 1 / repeat 3 / 1 ms delay; same measurement path), and the nvfp4 rows of those eight tables were re-collected with it on 2026-10-28 (all eight tables are in this PR; SGLang gb300 was collected with the series-layout variant of the same collector, 778c39e: one case per token sweep, validated on b200 at a new/old latency median of 1.001). Acceptance on the merged tables vs the untuned ones (0.1 ms launch-overhead floor): EP-doubling steps > 1.5x: 281 / 287 / 274 / 260 -> 0 (vllm b200 / b300 / gb200 / gb300), 806 / 822 / 816 / 778 -> 1 / 0 / 14 / 0 (sglang b300 / b200 / gb200 / gb300; the 14 are the physical topk-22 tile step at 1.50-1.57x, present on b200 at 1.44-1.49x); lat(EP)/lat(EP/8) > 0.9 collapses at tokens >= 64: 429 / 413 / 449 / 1051 (vllm) and 1035 (sglang gb300) -> 2-5 saturation cells (EP128/256 at 12-16k tokens; on gb300 sglang the residual untuned-equal cells — 7168/2048/topk 8/256 experts at EP64 / 12288 tokens and 2048/5120/topk 22/512 experts at 8192 tokens, 15 cells — were re-measured once on one GPU: the 10 power-law cells came back 25-30% lower and were taken, the 5 balanced cells came back within 3% and keep their first value as GB300-specific); the non-nvfp4 rows are byte-identical. Known gap: the Llama-4 Maverick nvfp4 shapes (5120/8192/topk 1, 16 and 128 experts) crash FlashInfer's llama4 routing kernel under some autotune candidates on EP > 1; those identities are absent from the re-collected tables (their untuned rows were EP-anomalous too) — 258 / 335 / 519 / 337 rows per table (b200 / b300 / gb200 / gb300 vllm), listed in the campaign record. One SGLang shape (2688/1856/topk 6/128 experts, Nemotron-3-Nano, relu2 non-gated MoE) is unchanged by the re-collection by construction: FlashInfer's trtllm-gen manifest offers a single tile_N per local-expert count for Relu2 FP4 (probed: 220 tactics all tile 32 at 128 local experts, 4 all tile 192 at 32), so the tuned tactic equals the untuned one; the rows are SGLang's serving truth and are recorded as the documented exemption (on gb300, 22 of its 12288/16384-token identities fault in the routing kernel — reproduced by a second run that recovered the other 8 — and are absent). On gb200 the 7168/E384 tp2 power-law cells of the first sglang run had picked a skew-sensitive tactic (2.3-2.9x slower than b200); a whole-tray re-measure replaced them (0.92-1.05x of b200).

Fewer tables on l40s (SM89) and rtx_pro_6000_server (SM120) are capability floors, not gaps: the collector drops the dsa_* / dsv4_* / glm5_* case plans whose kernels require SM>=90 (l40s) or have no SM120 sparse-MLA kernels (rtxpro sglang/trtllm), and the retired DeepSeek-V4 sidecar ops (dsv4_csa_attn_module, dsv4_hca_attn_module) were never collected. kda is not part of this campaign's plan.

Review map

• Risk level: medium
• Start with: python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/systems/query_versions.yaml (what the derived next becomes), one collection_meta.yaml (e.g. b200_sxm/sparse_attention/vllm/0.30.0/), the perf_data_reuse_manifest.yaml diff together with the renderer change in tools/perf_database/generate_perf_data_reuse_manifest.py, then the five test edits.
• Public or serialized contract changed: yes — the derived next slot moves for every defaults-governed system. Explicit queries for the previous next versions (vllm 0.27.1, trtllm 1.3.0rc23, sglang 0.5.17) are now rejected by the exact-version gate; current / previous / next callers (Dynamo's DGD renderer passes the candidate's backend_version, the SDK defaults to current, compiler.py only accepts the aliases for deployments) see no change. Two tests/unit/sdk/database/test_msa.py tests pinned the raw rc23 coordinate — test_rtx_trtllm_rc23_loads_and_m3_is_explicitly_rejected on the premise "Dynamo 1.3 pins trtllm 1.3.0rc23" (an AIC #1507-era note; Dynamo v1.3.0 shipped TRT-LLM 1.3.0rc19 and never pinned rc23 in its tree) and test_nvfp4_checkpoint_lane_resolution_per_backend loading b200 trtllm rc23. Both now query the slot aliases (trtllm next, vllm current), so they follow every fleet upgrade; the first is renamed test_rtx_trtllm_next_loads_and_m3_is_explicitly_rejected. Their assertions are unchanged and hold on the rc29 data: the NVFP4 fp8_block lane resolves in SILICON on b200, and rtx M3 MSA still raises the typed EmpiricalNotImplementedError. The rtx mla/trtllm/1.3.0rc23/reuse.yaml markers stay (marker-only dirs are outside the slots and inert).
• The three tests that pin raw 0.27.1 coordinates (test_gdn_vllm_physical_lane, test_moe_ep_query_equivalence x2) now pass allow_unlisted_version=True, exactly as the slots file prescribes for raw-coordinate fixtures. test_gdn_donor_fill_pins::test_b200_sglang_gdn_conv_donor_fill_is_pinned moves its donor-served pin from the vLLM 0.25.0 row (6.34266845703125 ms) to the new vLLM 0.30.0 b200 causal_conv1d_fn row (6.083416748046875 ms, Qwen3.5-35B-A3B grid, batch 32 x seq 16384) — the conscious act that test asks for.
• current donor-served coordinates move for two tables — deliberate. Cross-backend gap-fill (source_resolution.rs, the cross_backend channel) admits every version of the sibling frameworks newest-first; it is not slot-aware, so a current load borrows from the newest sibling data even when that data is the derived next. Measured with the engine's own source report (resolve_op_sources_report_json, shared layer on) for all 8 systems x 3 backends at current x 38 op tables, main vs this branch: 864 tuples, 40 changed, all on the cross_backend channel, only gdn_perf (24: every system, every backend) and mla_bmm_perf (16: every system, trtllm and sglang). For gdn_perf the new donors are sglang 0.5.21 / trtllm 1.3.0rc29 / vllm 0.30.0 rows ahead of the 0.24.0 / 0.25.0 / 0.27.1 / rc20 rows that served before (plus ks_filter changes from the manifest's new gdn kernel groups); for mla_bmm_perf it is one new kernel group borrowed between trtllm rc29 and sglang 0.5.21. The one pinned instance is test_gdn_donor_fill_pins (b200 sglang current conv donor 6.34266845703125 -> 6.083416748046875 ms, see above). This is the intended behavior of newest-first reuse (newer measurements of the same kernel are the better donor); no resolver change is made here. The other 824 tuples resolve identically before and after.
• Engine-step parity goldens. On the pre-merge branch the two suites gave 18 failures / 372 passed: 6 from kimi-k3-b300-sglang-next-* (they query next, which this PR moves to sglang 0.5.21: static_ctx +3.3%, static_gen +1.4%, disagg_ttft +3.3%, disagg_tpot +2.1%, agg +0.8%; their mixed surface had a frozen PerfDataNotAvailableError golden and now resolves because 0.5.21 carries the shape) and 12 from the four Qwen3.8-Max gb300 cases pinned to raw sglang 0.5.17 / vllm 0.27.1 (UnlistedQueryVersionError on the cli_estimate surfaces once those versions left the slots). Main fixed the second group independently: chore: data integration for GLM-5.3-Flash Ops (GB300, GB200, B300, H200, H100) #538 added an allow_unlisted_version case field (and the AIC_ALLOW_UNLISTED_VERSIONS engine-spec escape) so those cases keep their raw sparse-data coordinates; this branch had re-pointed them to next instead, and that change was dropped in the merge in favor of main's. After the merge only the 6 kimi-k3 next records failed (6 failed / 383 passed); they were re-pinned with pin_goldens.py --refresh on the merged tree (static_ctx +1.2%, static_gen +6.2%, disagg_tpot +4.3%, disagg_ttft +1.2%, agg −0.3%; mixed now resolves at 94.3 / 94.9 ms; no error records), after which both suites pass: 389 passed, 0 failed (the AFD surface was removed on main, hence 389 not 390).
• Engine routing for the new kernel labels (review findings, @simone-chen). (1) GDN: the physical-kernel lookup in perf_database/state_space.rs was gated on a vLLM version whitelist (0.24.0 | 0.27.1), so on next the model's chunk_gated_delta_rule degraded to SOL (0.00817 ms vs the shipped 0.07289 ms row, ~9x). It is now a per-backend GdnAliasProfile with PEP 440 floors: vLLM ≥ 0.24.0, TRT-LLM ≥ 1.3.0rc29 (chunk_gated_delta_rule_flashinfer, fused_sigmoid_gating_delta_rule_update_flashinfer), SGLang ≥ 0.5.21 (fused_qkvzba_causal_conv1d_update_contiguous); executed names stay in the data, only the lookup maps; versions below the floors still ignore physical labels (donor-only). (2) Attention: _OVERRIDE_LANES["vllm"]["flashinfer"] gains the 0.25.0 / 0.30.0 decode labels, and _source_tiered_lane_walk_order ranks, inside the pinned head, the labels the requested version collected itself ahead of donor-only labels, so attention_backend="flashinfer" on 0.30.0 no longer returns the 0.24.0 trtllmdecode measurement (0.1072 → 0.0707 ms); the 0.22.0 donor-only pin test is rewritten to this policy. Tests: Rust state_space unit tests (floors, new profiles, donor precedence, negatives), real-data pins for b200 vLLM 0.30.0 / TRT-LLM rc29 / SGLang 0.5.21 GDN rows and for the b200 FlashInfer override head on 0.24.0 / 0.25.0 / 0.30.0. Simone's repro now returns 0.07288736 ms silicon. Parity goldens did not move (389 passed). Second round (1206d49, 66450a0): (3) GDN candidates are ranked by source before ambiguity is decided — the loader records per key the rank of the first contributing source (requested version first, then donors in resolver order); the best-ranked physical label wins, a logical row from an earlier source beats a donor's physical label, and only several physical labels from the same source fail closed. RTX PRO 6000 vLLM 0.24.0 / 0.30.0 had their own Triton / FlashInfer row rejected as ambiguous against the other's donor label and fell to SOL (0.035109 ms); they now return 0.101526 / 0.116720 ms. The profiles also map SGLang 0.5.21's Hopper context scan flashinfer_chunk_gated_delta_rule (H100 0.132997 ms donor → own 0.093043 ms) and TRT-LLM rc29's Triton recurrence fused_sigmoid_gating_delta_rule_update_triton on L40S / RTX PRO 6000 (L40S 0.006557 ms donor → own 0.005315 ms); renamed TrtllmPhysical / SglangPhysical. (4) The attention re-ranking is restricted to the override's synonymous labels, so an explicit override stays ahead of the framework-default lane even when only a donor version carries it (B200 SGLang trtllm_mha over Triton-only primary rows). Parity goldens again unchanged (389 passed); database unit subset 793 passed; state_space Rust tests 29 passed.
• Tests re-anchored for the current promotion (full tests/unit: 13,031 passed; 7 failures were tests that pinned a DATA coordinate through current, 3 were local-environment only): test_vllm_dsa_index_reuse (5, run with enable_shared_layer=False → need a version whose own tree has comm → pin 0.24.0), test_compile_engine_mtp (the audited SM90 SGLang MLA bf16 execution-dtype mapping is keyed to exactly 0.5.14 in helpers.resolve_sglang_mla_compute; pin that literal for the h200 rows — extending it to 0.5.21 is a model-owner audit, not done here), test_engine_spec_version_literal (the unpopulated alias now has to come from the a100 override baseline), plus the earlier test_glm53flash / test_moe_ep_query_equivalence / test_gdn_vllm_physical_lane raw-coordinate pins (allow_unlisted_version), and test_query_version_slots::test_next_resolves_to_current_when_nothing_newer_has_data for the new rule. state_space.rs also gains the TRT-LLM rc29 Mamba2 alias (causal_conv1d_fn → causal_conv1d_fn_token_major), with a unit test.
• Full CI (trusted copy pull-request/517): green at 0d17fb2 (run 40872772780, 56 jobs). Findings fixed on the way: (1) The TRT-LLM rc29 collector writes kv_cache_dtype "bf16" for the DeepSeek-V4 CSA/HCA context/generation module rows on SM100 (collect_dsv4_attn.py: the only KV configuration that boots there is auto -> bf16; Hopper/SM120 collect fp8), while the SDK's KVCacheQuantMode names that mode bfloat16 (every other table uses that spelling), so the engine's merged DeepSeek-V4 attention view could not be rehydrated (KeyError: 'bf16', validate_database failing for b200/b300/gb200/gb300 rc29). The 16 tables are relabelled to bfloat16 in place (rows, order, schema unchanged); the collector-side spelling is reported to the collector owners. (2) Three repository-level contracts pinned the pre-campaign slot values (test_prediction_pins_populated_version_slots: current == 0.24.0; test_shared_g2_cli's canonical AIC layout: 0.24.0; test_epd_cli's recommendation fixture: SGLang 0.5.14 with a current callback) and now read the slot through get_version_slots / resolve_query_version; the explicit 0.24.0 pin case stays literal. (3) The gb200 sglang 0.5.21 sidecar carried an empty (0-row, hash-less) fill event from a fill job that produced nothing; removed (check_collector_data.py R1). (4) backend_facts.py --check: the op-backend facts registry (collector/op_backend_facts.yaml) had no entries for the three new versions (1,621 fact slices: vLLM 0.30.0 681, TRT-LLM rc29 490, SGLang 0.5.21 450); the bootstrap draft the tool prescribes was run and reviewed — 0 existing entries removed, 1,621 added, check passes at 4,049 slices. 17 collector labels of the new versions have no translation in collector/kernel_source_backends.yaml and are recorded as backend unverified (listed in the commit message) for the collector owners; nothing was guessed. (5) Unit shards: pytest 9.2.0 (PyPI 2026-10-27) records monkeypatch.setattr old values from the instance __dict__, so attributes served by a module-level __getattr__ are restored with delattr; aisimulate_core.sdk.memory forwards get_model to kv_cache, so every test that patches memory.get_model deleted the real function for the rest of its xdist worker (~100 fixture errors per shard, all get_model). Main's last green run and PR feat: add mixed-workload fallback for learned FPM #639 still resolved pytest 9.1.1; this PR's runs got 9.2.0. The [dev] extra now pins pytest>=9.0.3,<9.2 (lock unchanged at 9.1.1); the durable test-side fix is left to the maintainers.
• Parity goldens re-pinned with pin_goldens.py --refresh-all after the promotion: a current bump moves every case that queries current: 332 records re-pinned, 65 of 82 cases move (numeric leaves: median 0.0%, p10 -9.1%, p90 +7.8%; 108 of 760 latency leaves > 10%), no error records. Both suites: 389 passed, 0 failed. Moves to know: the per_op b200 trtllm cases lose their energy_wms values (the rc29 tables carry no power columns; the shipped rc20 ones were the AIConfigurator power import — power on b200 trtllm current has no data until collected or until the power loader falls back to previous); minimax-m25-nvfp4-h200-vllm-hybrid-xprofile static_gen 280 -> 8.7 ms (both are HYBRID cross-profile MoE borrows on Hopper; the 0.24.0 borrow priced generation_moe at 276 ms for a 10B-active model at batch 1, the 0.30.0 one at 4.4 ms); nemotron-h-56b b200 trtllm +50% (Mamba2 conv now measured via the rc29 alias instead of SOL); glm52 b200 sglang ctx +35-38% (0.5.14 -> 0.5.21 DSA kernels).
• Compatibility or rollback concern: rollback = revert the slot bump in query_versions.yaml (and the goldens), delete the 258 new version directories and regenerate the reuse manifest. No pre-existing table is modified. The manifest renderer change is independent of the data: the resolver parses the manifest by key (entry_map.get), so dropping the unread counter fields changes nothing at runtime.

Evidence

• Tests: full tests/unit on the promoted slots: 13,031 passed, 10 failed before the re-anchoring commit (7 slot-pinned tests fixed in 6fcfa46, 3 local-environment only: scikit-learn absent, subprocess PYTHONPATH). Earlier selection (worktree at the routing-fix commit, runtime rebuilt with maturin):

Before any test edit the earlier selection showed 737 passed / 6 failed (the three raw 0.27.1 pins, the gdn donor pin and the two rc23 pins described in the Review map). tests/unit/generator/test_sweeper_request.py and test_trtllm_msa_implementation.py (the other rc23 mentions in the suite) pass unchanged.
• Fast CI: green on cdd74c0 (2026-10-28, slot promotion + re-collection + goldens); earlier: green on dfb8bbf (Python Static Checks, Rust Format, Repository Policy, codeowners, DCO). 082ef77 got no run because the PR had become CONFLICTING: main's B60 commit (c3f77c2) also touched the generated perf_data_reuse_manifest.yaml. Resolved by merging upstream/main (5017955, the manifest was the only conflict) and regenerating the manifest over the merged tree (a2b9df7: identical to 082ef77 except B60 joining one systems list); the same test selection passes at a2b9df7 (764 passed). Fast CI green on a2b9df7 and 569b78f; green again on the merged head b41cd6b (2026-10-27).
• Parity suites (rust-engine-step-parity job of Full CI, run locally with the worktree runtime): 389 passed, 0 failed on the re-pinned goldens (fa3af16); before the re-pin the slot promotion failed 203 / passed 186, all value moves, no error-type outcomes.
• Full CI: not run on this PR yet (NVIDIA-runner workflows need vetting on this fork PR).
• CodeRabbit reviewed commit: n/a yet.
• Codex reviewed commit: n/a yet.
• Negative or boundary cases: every collection_meta.yaml passes _load_collection_meta_yaml (schema v2 validation runs in test_collection_meta_schema.py / loader tests above); publish_results refused nothing (all 508 table stems map to a catalog family).
• Expected-value derivation: the moved gdn pin is the measured row b200_sxm/linear_attention/vllm/0.30.0/gdn_perf.parquet kernel_source=causal_conv1d_fn, phase=context, batch_size=32, seq_len=16384, d_model=2048, num_k_heads=16, num_v_heads=32 → latency 6.083416748046875.
• Before/after: quality gate of the merged tables against the newest shipped table of the same system x framework (upstream/main 0d18c14): 508 tables checked, 52 flagged, 456 clean; per-table checks were rows, duplicate shape keys, non-finite / non-positive latency, schema vs shipped, ours/shipped latency ratio on common shape(+kernel_source) keys, and the per-kernel minimum-latency floor. Flag classes:
  • 15 x b200 trtllm tables "missing columns power, power_limit": the shipped b200 rc20 tables are the AIConfigurator power import; this campaign did not collect power (no table in this PR carries power columns).
  • 3 x sglang moe "missing column default_eligible" (b200/gb200/gb300 vs the 0.5.17 drop): the loader treats an absent column as legacy-default-eligible (test_moe_default_eligibility.py::test_absent_and_true_keep_legacy_default_sources).
  • trtllm msa_context_module / msa_generation_module on b200/b300/gb200/gb300 (ours 3–14x faster, floor 0.2–0.3x): upstream changed the msa step key semantics; rows are not comparable with the shipped rc20/rc23 tables by design.
  • vllm gemm on b200/b300/gb200/gb300/rtxpro: median ratio 0.96–0.97 but 21–23% of keys outside 0.5–2x, floor CutlassFp8BlockScaledMMKernel 0.0x — the fp8 block-scaled lanes changed kernels between 0.24.0 and 0.30.0; the rest of the table agrees.
  • sglang dsv4_csa/hca_context and dsv4_hca_generation on h100/h200 (median 1.44–1.63, ours slower), b300/gb200 (1.28–1.29): 0.5.14 → 0.5.21 kernel changes; consistent across the four systems.
  • rtx_pro_6000_server sglang dsv4_hca_context/generation: ours are 17–60x FASTER than the shipped 0.5.14 tables (median ratio 0.06 / 0.02). Our rtxpro numbers (context median 1.39 ms, generation median 0.33 ms) are in line with our b200/h200 tables and with the shipped b200/h200 0.5.14 tables; the shipped rtx_pro 0.5.14 dsv4_hca tables (context median 19 ms, max 5.8 s; generation median 12 ms) are the outlier. Worth a look at how that earlier rtx_pro collection was timed.
  • vllm dsa_context_module h100/h200/b300 (median 1.07 / 1.07 / 0.74, 10–25% outside 2x), vllm gdn h100/h200 (0.93, 16% outside), trtllm computescale h100/h200/l40s (0.58–0.76), l40s vllm mla_generation_module (0.82), sglang msa_context_module b200/b300 (0.68): version-to-version kernel changes, no floor anomaly.
  • rtx_pro trtllm mhc_module agrees with shipped rc20 on all 81 common keys (median ratio 0.999); its two pre_dg lanes are new.
• Existence check vs the newest shipped table of the same system x framework: every cell was compared table-by-table with the newest shipped table of the same system x framework. Tables "missing entirely" are all outside this campaign's plan by design — comm (custom_allreduce, nccl), WideEP (wideep_*), moe_a2a, kda, dsv4_megamoe_module, dsv41_module, sglang mla_context_module, the retired dsv4_hca_attn_module — no table inside the plan is missing. The first pass of this check had found one real gap that the per-cell shard counts hid: b300_sxm trtllm msa_generation_module had no table (the 2026-10-06 shard failed all 2,760 cases with 'MiniMaxMNMsaSparseAttentionMetadata' object has no attribute 'msa_decode_proxy_plan', a collector bug fixed later in the feat(collector): opharness — op-level upgrade harness; vLLM 0.30 / SGLang 0.5.21 / TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc29 upgrades and the H20 + SM120 collections proven through it #228 line). It was re-collected on 2026-10-19 with collector 0933cb3 (2,760 passed / 0 failed) and is in the last commit; its gate flag (floor 0.3x vs the shipped rc23 table) is the same msa step-semantics class as b200/gb200/gb300. Shipped-only shape keys (regression candidates) concentrate in tables whose key space changed upstream between the shipped and the collected versions (msa step semantics, zai-org/GLM-5 → GLM-5.2 rename, mla_dtype relabel, retired sidecar ops) — the same classes as in the 2026-10-11 analysis.

Modeling or data provenance

• Source: measured on the named hardware (device column: NVIDIA B200, NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC, NVIDIA GB200, NVIDIA GB300, NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3, NVIDIA H200, NVIDIA L40S, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition) between 2026-10-05 and 2026-10-19 through the internal aisim-auto-collector Slurm pipelines (dlcluster, computelab-sc-01, computelab-aus-01), one container per shard, framework images pinned by digest: vllm/vllm-openai:v0.30.0@sha256:8a69ffad…, nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorrt-llm/release:1.3.0rc29@sha256:124da3f1…, lmsysorg/sglang:v0.5.21@sha256:b1259f3e….
• Collector: this repository's collector at the PR feat(collector): opharness — op-level upgrade harness; vLLM 0.30 / SGLang 0.5.21 / TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc29 upgrades and the H20 + SM120 collections proven through it #228 line (tianhaox/aisimulate 8f4f36c → 4ff777c → ee219cc → 3c6b058 → 5c0f54a → 26d0951 → 7716512 → 743d178 → 8a6cee6 → 6260c77 → 244b61f → 0933cb3); each shard's collections event names the revision that produced it. The 18 events of the 17 rtxpro vllm base shards (2026-10-06, before the harness handed the revision to the collector) were back-filled with 4ff777c (commit 2020776): they come from GitLab job 471174362 (aisim-auto-collector pipeline 71809077, AISIM_REVISION 4ff777c…, checkout and per-shard durations confirmed in the job log); the later fetch job that recovered the archive ran a newer harness, which is why the campaign record had named ee219cc. b200 vllm (26d0951) and l40s vllm (4ff777c) were back-filled the same way earlier. No sidecar of this PR records collector_ref: unknown any more.
• Units: latency in ms; no power columns (not collected).
• Merge rule: a table is the union of its shards with exact duplicates and identity duplicates (all columns except latency/power) dropped, last wins; shards re-collected on the current case plan (vllm dsa_context/dsa_generation GLM-5.2) supersede the earlier ones.
• Status: complete for every table; accepted deterministic failures are recorded in the campaign's errors_*.json (not shipped): vllm dsa_context FIXME(kernel-limit) for 64 < per-rank heads < 128 with fp8 KV on SM100/SM103, ~58% of dsa cases on SM120 (unsupported sparse-MLA shapes / no decode kernel), one-GPU OOM at the largest mamba2 context shapes, L40S OOM on the largest gemm/moe shapes.
• Coverage vs shipped: see the existence check above; the version-specific kda tables (sglang 0.5.16, vllm 0.1.dev19262) are not part of this plan and keep serving next through backward fill.

📝 Summary

Risk: Medium. Human attention should focus on the reuse manifest contract, next version resolution, and 52 quality-gate flags.

• Adds 2026-10 campaign data for 24 system–framework cells across eight systems.
• Adds 508 performance tables with 14,548,924 rows for vLLM 0.30.0, TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc29, and SGLang 0.5.21.
• Adds versioned collection metadata and regenerates the resolver-visible reuse manifest.
• Updates next version derivation while keeping current and previous unchanged.
• Updates raw-coordinate fixtures, donor pins, and MSA/NVFP4 version-slot tests.
• Uses rtx_pro_6000_server as the shipped RTX PRO 6000 system name.

Supplied evidence reports 743 targeted tests passed and 0 failed. Full CI was not run. The reported data check found 456 clean tables and 52 tables with documented differences. Review-finding severity counts are unavailable.

The repository is clean after the manifest-only commit. Technical quality has targeted test evidence, but merge readiness remains unconfirmed because full CI and independent review of the 52 flags are missing.

The change adds benchmark collection manifests for SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, and vLLM across multiple accelerator platforms and workload families. It also removes analysis statistics from the resolver manifest, expands kernel mappings, updates version guidance, and adjusts database tests.

Changes: Benchmark collection manifests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Platform benchmark collection manifests python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/systems/data/*/*/*/*/collection_meta.yaml	Adds schema-versioned runtime and image metadata, completed performance-table records, row counts, dates, and collection provenance across platforms, runtimes, and workload families.
Performance-data reuse manifest python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/systems/data/perf_data_reuse_manifest.yaml, python/aisimulate/tools/perf_database/generate_perf_data_reuse_manifest.py	Removes row-count, deduplication, and divergence statistics from YAML output. Adds resolver-visible kernel mappings and expands system and framework coverage.
Version guidance and database tests python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/systems/query_versions.yaml, python/aisimulate/tests/unit/sdk/database/test_*.py	Updates derived next version comments, donor latency data, unlisted-version lookups, and MSA tests that resolve TensorRT-LLM through next.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 082ef

The changed GDN prediction follows the documented donor behavior. The unknown collector revision is permitted for this collection path. No actionable merge-blocking risk is established.

Full details: Compatibility Boundaries

Explanation

No compatibility-boundary failure is introduced. The PR changes only perf-data, schema-v2 metadata, the resolver manifest, query-slot comments, and tests; it does not change Python APIs, Rust APIs, bindings, Cargo metadata, or wheel configuration. All 258 added metadata files use schema v2, match their backend/version paths, cover their parquet tables, and pass the schema structure checks. The manifest now contains only the five resolver fields consumed by the Rust parser; its 272 groups have valid structure and tiers. The new data-backed versions derive as vLLM 0.30.0, TRT-LLM 1.3.0rc29, and SGLang 0.5.21, while current remains unchanged. Dynamo's integration resolves omitted backend versions through the current alias (dynamo@d92654254adc0d9e77c79d817815856e2ec695ff, lib/bindings/python/src/dynamo/_internal/ais.py:17-31), and its DGD surface requires only a non-empty string version (same commit, components/src/dynamo/aisimulate/output/dgd/renderers/base.py:90-104). The existing one-wheel/one-crate packaging contract remains in place: the wheel includes systems/**/*.parquet and data YAML files (python/aisimulate/pyproject.toml:113-160), and the crate remains rlib plus cdylib (crates/core/Cargo.toml:4-17).

Full details: Cross-Layer Contract

Explanation

The derived-version contract changed, but several Python test consumers remain stale. The head data adds SGLang 0.5.21 directories, and query_versions.yaml documents that next is now 0.5.21 (lines 26-28). The resolver derives the highest data-backed version (perf_database.py:284-314) and rejects exact versions outside the slots unless allow_unlisted_version=True (perf_database.py:340-359); get_database() invokes this gate (perf_database.py:1338-1340). However, unchanged tests still call get_database(..., "0.5.17") without the escape at tests/unit/sdk/models/test_qwen35_attention_lanes.py:154,193,237 and tests/unit/sdk/task_v2/test_task_config.py:460. These tests fail during database loading before their assertions. The PR updated analogous raw vLLM tests to use allow_unlisted_version=True, but did not update these SGLang raw-coordinate consumers. The reported test command does not include these affected modules, so its result does not establish compatibility.

Resolution

Preserve the raw-coordinate intent by adding allow_unlisted_version=True to the four 0.5.17 database loads, or replace them with next/the intended supported slot when the test should exercise the new contract. Add a real-tree slot regression that resolves next to 0.5.21, 0.30.0, and 1.3.0rc29 for the three backends. Run the affected model and task-v2 test modules in addition to the reported database tests.

Full details: Modeling And Data Evidence

Explanation

The PR adds 508 binary Parquet tables and 258 metadata sidecars. The sidecars provide provenance, such as runtime image digests, collector references and hashes, case-plan hashes, dates, row counts, and completion status (for example, b300_sxm/msa/vllm/0.30.0/collection_meta.yaml:4-36). They do not provide before/after performance comparisons or anomaly results. The only changed golden evidence is a single donor-latency assertion in test_gdn_donor_fill_pins.py. The reuse generator defines JSON and Markdown outputs for raw statistics, divergence, and deduplication analysis (generate_perf_data_reuse_manifest.py:27-37), but the PR changes only the YAML manifest and explicitly removes those statistics from it (generate_perf_data_reuse_manifest.py:595-597; perf_data_reuse_manifest.yaml diff). No JSON or Markdown analysis artifact is changed. The PR therefore supplies provenance but not the required reproducible before/after evidence, independent oracle, held-out comparison, or machine-readable anomaly summary.

Resolution

Add a committed, reproducible campaign evidence artifact for all 508 tables. Include machine-readable per-table and per-system summaries with schema checks, declared-versus-observed row counts, duplicate and missing-key checks, invalid-value checks, and the reported quality-gate flags. Include before/after or golden comparisons for replaced coordinates, with explanations for expected capability and kernel changes. Regenerate and commit the JSON/Markdown analysis outputs, or provide an equivalent validator and its recorded output, before merging the Parquet refresh.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes all required template sections and provides detailed scope, review guidance, evidence, provenance, and tracking information. However, the medium-risk review map marks the required Codex-reviewed commit as "n/a yet", and the description contains conflicting CI status and total-row counts that require clarification.

Resolution

Provide the required Codex-reviewed commit. Clarify whether Full CI ran for this PR or only on a trusted copy. Reconcile the reported total row counts, including 14,547,494 versus 14,548,924, before merge.

Full details: Review Evidence

Explanation

The visible description names the targeted pytest command and reports 743 passed and 0 failed. It also states that Full CI had not run and describes boundary cases such as derived-version rejection and capability floors. However, the authored description is explicitly truncated during the review map, so the required distinction between local, fake-runner, parity, and production evidence cannot be verified. The omitted text could also contain an inactive nested-workflow citation.

Resolution

Provide the complete PR description, or native review metadata containing its full validation/evidence section. Then verify the evidence labels and confirm that no inactive nested workflow is presented as hosted CI.
