Every GPU and example container starts with an empty Triton cache, so each job recompiles the same kernels (GDN, Mamba, FLA, the NVFP4 sweep, vLLM engine start-up). cache-extensions now also restores the newest Triton cache of the lane. Triton entries are content-addressed and only ever added, so the restore uses restore-keys on a run-unique key rather than an exact key. save-extensions saves a new Triton cache only when a run compiled at least 20 entries more than it restored, so a warm run saves nothing and a cache cannot be frozen incomplete by a failed run. The extension cache keeps its exact key; its hit check moves from the workflows' `if` into the action. Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
mamba_ssm and causal-conv1d hardcode a -gencode flag for every architecture of the CUDA toolkit (nine with CUDA 13) and ignore TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST, so a wheelhouse miss compiled eight architectures the CI runner never runs. The step that already patches their setup.py to C++20 now also drops the -gencode entries that are not in TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST (the GPU jobs set it to the runner's GPU) and fails if none matches. Without the variable nothing changes. fast-hadamard-transform is built from a git URL, with no patch step, and still builds every architecture. Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
Saving a Triton cache whenever a run compiled 20 more entries than it restored saved a new copy on every run in the two lanes that use torch.compile (diffusers, speculative_decoding): each run compiles about 25 new entries that later runs do not reuse, so a warm run saved a 24-58 MB cache again. The key now carries the ISO week and the hash of modelopt/torch/kernels, and the save runs only when that exact key was missing and the cache is not empty, like the extension cache. restore-keys still restores the newest cache of the lane, so a run starts from the last one. The cache is refreshed once a week and when the kernels change. Signed-off-by: Shengliang Xu <shengliangx@nvidia.com>
TRITON_CACHE_DIR caches compiled kernels, but an autotuned kernel still benchmarks its configs on first use in every process, which the warm CI runs still paid for (the GDN fixtures). TRITON_CACHE_AUTOTUNING=1 writes the chosen config next to the compiled kernel, inside the same directory, so a warm job skips the benchmark as well.

Support named CUDA architectures before filtering.
If TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST=Hopper, PyTorch expands Hopper to 9.0+PTX. This code instead sets keep to {""}. It removes every -gencode entry and raises ValueError, although both pinned packages have an sm_90 entry. Expand supported architecture names before matching so this valid setting does not block the wheel build. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Naming: this action is no longer about "extensions" (Triton kernels aren't extensions), and the next cache (Inductor, FlashInfer, numba, ...) would make it worse. Suggest a name that covers any runtime-compiled cache:
.github/actions/cache-extensions->restore-jit-caches,.github/actions/save-extensions->save-jit-caches(matches theactions/cache/restore/saveverbs; "JIT" is already the term in the descriptions)- step id
ext-cache->jit-caches, step names "Restore JIT caches" / "Save JIT caches" ingpu_tests.ymland_example_tests_runner.yml - outputs: one
<name>-key/<name>-hitpair per cache, socache-key/cache-hit->torch-ext-key/torch-ext-hitnext totriton-key/triton-hit; inputcache-key->env-key(it is the GPU + image discriminator, not a cache key) - keep the cache key prefixes
torch-ext-/triton-: they are per-cache and accurate, and renaming them would invalidate the existing caches
Optional, can be a follow-up: have the restore action write each cache's key/hit to $GITHUB_ENV and let the save action read them, so adding a cache no longer adds with: inputs to both workflows. Composite actions have no post hook, so the explicit always() save step stays.
Doing the rename here is cheaper than later, since every caller would change again.
### What does this PR do? Type of change: CI (job layout of the example tests) Every example of the example workflow has its own job, and a job spends a container start (156-252 s), the checkout and the base install before its first test. Several examples run only 48-156 s of tests: llm_distill 102 s, llm_sparsity 156 s, specdec_bench 48 s and gpt-oss 54 s (1-GPU PR run, 2026-10-21). This PR lets the runner take several examples and run them one after the other in one job. - **Runner (`_example_tests_runner.yml`):** `example` lists 1 to 3 names separated by spaces (an empty list fails before any example runs). Each example gets its own step (`Example 1: llm_eval`, `Example 2: gpt-oss`) through a new composite action, `.github/actions/run-example`, that installs the example's requirements, runs its tests with coverage and uploads the coverage under the same `examples-<name>` flag as before (Codecov's per-example carryforward is unchanged), except after a failed run, allowed or not, whose partial coverage is no longer uploaded. A failing example (its requirements install or its tests) does not fail its own step: the action records the exit status and reports `failed` (a failing step inside a composite action ends the job at once, whatever `continue-on-error` the calling step has, as a hosted-runner check showed, so the action uses none), so the next examples still run, as when each had its own job with `fail-fast: false`, and the last step of the job fails it. A job with one example fails in that last step too, with an `Example failed` error annotation from the example's step; its cache key is unchanged. - **Requirements are installed right before each example's tests**, not up front, so an example that upgrades packages does not change the environment of the ones before it. The install and the tests run in one step, and a failing install is a failure of its example like failing tests, allowed or not by the list. - **Allow-failure list:** the repo variable `ALLOW_FAILURE_EXAMPLE_TESTS` (now `diffusers`) is passed to the runner as `allow_failure_examples` and read per example inside the action (its `Verdict` step: a warning for an allowed failure, an error annotation and `failed=true` otherwise; whitespace in the variable is ignored, so `diffusers, llm_qat` works); the callers lose their per-job `contains(format(...))` expressions. - **Trade-offs of sharing a job:** the grouped examples now share one container, so a stray GPU-holding subprocess of an earlier example, or caches and downloads piling up on one disk, can affect a later one, and "Re-run failed jobs" re-runs every example of a group, not only the one that failed (against about 900 runner-seconds saved per full PR run). - **Grouped (`example_tests.yml`):** the torch lane runs `specdec_bench llm_sparsity llm_distill` in one job (llm_distill last: it pins trl and torchao), the trtllm lane runs `llm_eval gpt-oss` in one job (gpt-oss last: it upgrades datasets 3.1.0 to 5.1.0 and trl). Both pairs share an image, extras (`[hf,dev-test]`) and timeout, and their requirement files do not conflict (read, and compared with the install logs of the separate jobs: the three torch examples ended on the same transformers 5.18.0, peft 0.21.2 and accelerate 1.15.0, and in the trtllm pair only gpt-oss changes anything, datasets and trl, which is why it goes last). - **Not grouped:** llm_qat, speculative_decoding and hf_ptq (long jobs; llm_qat at 1,362 s stays the longest job, so the workflow's wall time does not grow), and **torch_trt into torch_onnx**: torch_trt's requirements downgrade torch 2.13.0 to 2.12.1 and torchvision 0.28.0 to 0.27.1 (`torch-tensorrt<2.13`), so either the torch_onnx tests would run on a different torch than they do, or the extension cache of the job would hold builds from two torch versions. Its install step takes 204 s and includes that torch swap, so grouping would save little anyway. Lane gating (`pr-gate`), images, extras, timeouts and the `example-pr-required-check` aggregation are unchanged: the jobs keep their ids (`torch`, `trtllm`, ...), only their matrix entries and display names change (for example `torch (specdec_bench llm_sparsity llm_distill) / run-test`). ### Time improvement (estimated, then measured in this PR's run) From the job step timings of the 1-GPU PR run of 2026-10-21 (container init, checkout, install, tests, post): | lane | jobs before | job seconds before | jobs after | job seconds after (est.) | saved | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | torch (llm_distill, llm_sparsity, specdec_bench) | 3 | 342 + 378 + 282 = 1,002 | 1 | about 606 | about 396 | | trtllm (llm_eval, gpt-oss) | 2 | 678 + 318 = 996 | 1 | about 726 | about 270 | 13 example jobs become 10: about 660 runner-seconds less per full PR run (about 8% of the roughly 7,800 job-seconds of a full run; the nightly saves the same container starts on 2-GPU runners). The grouped jobs keep their tests and installs; what disappears is the container start (156-252 s), checkout, caches and the base install of the second and third job. The merged jobs (about 606 and 726 s) are shorter than the workflow's longest job, so the wall time does not change. Measured in this PR's own run (run 39686590762, 1-GPU runners, every lane green): - torch: the merged job (`specdec_bench llm_sparsity llm_distill`) took 519 s (container 182 s, install 29 s, the three examples 54 + 149 + 91 s). The three separate jobs of a run of the same day took 273 + 342 + 948 = 1,563 s, but the 948 included an unusually slow 649 s container start (about 190 s is typical), so about 1,104 s typical: the merge saves about 585 s (estimate: 396 s). - trtllm: the first run of the merged job (`llm_eval gpt-oss`) took 1,271 s because its cache key is new and the extension cache was cold (install 204 s instead of about 30 s, llm_eval 553 s instead of about 260 s). A re-run of that job with the cache saved took 600 s (container 220 s, install 20 s, llm_eval 285 s, gpt-oss 61 s), against 572 + 351 = 923 s for the two separate jobs of a run of the same day: about 323 s saved (estimate: 270 s). After this PR lands, the first run of each grouped job on main pays the cold build once. - Together about 908 runner-seconds less per full PR run (estimate: 660); the wall time does not change, llm_qat (1,260-1,556 s) and hf_ptq (up to 1,764 s) stay the longest jobs. ### Usage Nothing user-facing. To group another small example, list its name in the matrix entry of its lane (`example: ["a b", c]`), put the example that pins or upgrades packages last, and keep at most 3 names per job. ### Testing - `actionlint` 1.7.7: clean on all workflows (it caught that expressions have no `replace()`, so the cache key is built in a shell step; for a single example it is identical to the old key). - PyYAML comparison of the old and new `example_tests.yml`: every example is still run exactly once, images, extras and timeouts per lane are equal, `pr-gate` and `example-pr-required-check` are equal, 13 jobs become 10. - Stub test of the new shell step with one, two, three and four examples (four fails loudly). - pre-commit on the range (yamlfmt reformatted the new action file once, then passed). - Run on GitHub runners: this PR changes `example_tests.yml`, which every lane's change filter includes, so its own CI ran all lanes (all required checks green on 3048746, ab0a36f and e332c2e, and, with the install change below, on 5d6dfe5, the head of this PR; numbers above): the two grouped jobs and the single-example jobs through the new step path. Those runs built the extension cache cold under the new group keys (the 1,271 s first run of the trtllm group) and ran the per-example Codecov upload steps: every example uploaded its coverage (one `Upload coverage to Codecov` step per example in each job log). No example failed in them, so the failure paths were run separately (next bullet). - Failure paths on a hosted runner (a throwaway branch with a push-triggered workflow, deleted afterwards; no GPU): the real action and the real example steps, cut out of `_example_tests_runner.yml`, with a passing and a failing fake example in six scenarios (an allowed or a blocking failure in a one-example job, as the first and as the last of two). First run (run 39821769250, this PR before e332c2e, with `continue-on-error` on the example steps): an allowed failure left the job green with the warning and no coverage upload for the failed example, but a blocking failure in the first example skipped the second, because a failing step inside a composite action ends the job at once whatever `continue-on-error` the calling step has. The action therefore no longer fails on test failures: it reports `failed`, and the last step of the job fails it. Second run (run 39822372305, e332c2e): all six scenarios behave as designed. Third run (run 39828420032, this version, which also records the install's exit status and drops `continue-on-error` from the action): eleven scenarios, the six above plus a requirements install that cannot resolve (blocking as the first of two, and allowed), an allow list written `fake_pass, fake_fail`, the same split over several lines, and an entry that only shares a prefix with the example. All behave as designed: allowed failures, including a failing install, leave the job green with the warning and no coverage upload for the failed example; blocking failures add an `Example failed` error annotation, still run the remaining examples (the passing one uploads its coverage, and an install failure in the first example does not stop the second) and fail the job in the final step; the prefix does not match. ### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*" Make sure you read and follow [Contributor guidelines](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and your commits are signed (`git commit -s -S`).

What does this PR do?
Type of change: CI
Three small changes that cut compile time in the GPU and example jobs. The runtime stats are in the tables under Testing.
Cache Triton kernels across runs. Every GPU and example container starts with an empty Triton cache, so each job recompiles the same kernels: the GDN fixture (about 30 compiles), the Mamba first calls, the FLA fixture, the NVFP4 FP8-sweep kernel and the first vLLM engine. #2836 added the extension cache but nothing for Triton; this is the Triton half of 7f8854a on top of its

Triton entries are content-addressed and only ever added, so an older cache is a safe base.save-extensionssaves it only when the exact key was missing and the directory is not empty, like the extension cache: once a week and when the kernels change, not on every run. An earlier version saved whenever a run compiled 20 or more new entries; the warm run showed that the two lanes usingtorch.compile(diffusers,speculative_decoding) compile about 25 run-specific entries every time and re-saved a new copy on every run (cache size table). The extension cache keeps its exact key; its hit check moves from the workflows'ifinto the action.TRITON_CACHE_AUTOTUNING=1makes Triton store the chosen autotune config next to the compiled kernel, in the same directory, so a warm job skips the benchmark too (the GDN fixtures still paid for it, see the last table).mainonce so the entries land in main's cache scope. PR and merge-queue runs read it from there (a PR scope cannot be read by other PRs, and a merge group only sees main's).Build the source-built CUDA wheels for the CI GPU's architecture only.
