From 3801935065f4f67e5b0b3294f88fa44f59d48fda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: runwangdl Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:49:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] =?UTF-8?q?fix(test):=20loss=20verification=20never?= =?UTF-8?q?=20ran=20=E2=80=94=20"Errors:=200"=20was=20vacuous?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CompareLossesOnCluster() opened with if (pi_core_id() != 0) return; but it is dispatched through pi_cluster_send_task_to_cl() *without* a fork, so it executes exactly once, on the cluster controller core. On GAP9 the CC reports pi_core_id() == 8 (0..7 are the workers), so the guard fired unconditionally. The comparison loop never executed, *err_count kept its initial 0, and every training test printed "Errors: 0 out of N" regardless of the computed losses. Instrumented run (ResNet-8, L2 single-buffer, --l1 116000) before the fix: the function is entered once, pi_core_id() == 8, the sentinel put in a->n is never overwritten, no "[loss i]" line is emitted, and the cluster-side copy of the computed losses stays 0x00000000. The test reported "Errors: 0 out of 4" while the actual losses were 2.302585, 1.435176e+28, 1.435176e+28, 1.435055e+28 (reference 1.884626, 2.120300, 2.083486, 2.225912) i.e. the first step is still at ln(10) and the run then overflows. After the fix the same run reports "Errors: 4 out of 4" and fails. Drop the guard on both harnesses. Every other *Wrapper entry point in these files is already unguarded, which is the correct pattern for a non-forked cluster task. Siracusa carried the same line; it is harmless there (its cluster master is core 0) but is removed for consistency. This makes previously green GAP9 training jobs go red. That is the point: they were green because nothing was being checked. Re-running the suite with CI's own markers, serially, gives 11 PASS / 15 FAIL across 26 configurations. The failures are not uniform and point at two distinct bugs to chase separately: - ResNet-8 and MobileNetV1 pass L3 single-buffer and L3 double-buffer but fail 4/4 as soon as PromoteTensorsToL2 is enabled. - The CCT family fails L3 (single, double, recompute) but CCT-QLoRA passes in L2 and CCT-2 passes promote single-buffer, so the problem is in L3 tiling rather than in the operators. DS-CNN L2 and ResNet-8 L2 each fail 4/4 and look like a third, independent issue.

That holds for --defaultMemLevel L3. It is false for --defaultMemLevel L2: there the weights live in L2, no hex file is emitted for them, and suppressing the bake also emits TRAINING_SKIP_INITWEIGHT_COPY, so the harness skips its copy too. All three supply paths are off at once and every trainable weight stays zero. A network with zero weights emits all-equal logits, so the cross-entropy loss is pinned at exactly ln(num_classes). That is what the GAP9 on-chip configurations were computing: DS-CNN (12 classes) ln(12) = 2.484907 measured 2.484907 ResNet-8 (10 classes) ln(10) = 2.302585 measured 2.302585 both bit-exact, at every --l1 budget, while the same models pass in L3 and on Siracusa (whose testinputs.h embeds 621 KB of weight arrays). Key the decision on where the weights actually live, per weight: - a weight that is L3-resident keeps the hex path and gets a NULL slot in testInitWeights[]; the harness skips NULL entries. - a weight that is not L3-resident is staged through L3 as a hex file and copied into its L2 buffer by the existing LoadTestDataL3() + l3_aware_copy path. Staging rather than baking matters: ResNet-8 on-chip needs 1,350,236 B of arena and its weights are 312 KB, so a .data copy does not fit in GAP9's 1.5 MB L2_shared at all. The same reasoning applies to the baked test images, so those follow the weights to L3 whenever the weights go there. Also: .weightmem_sram is defined only by the Siracusa linker script, so the section attribute is now optional and GAP9 uses the default section. Siracusa's code generation is unchanged. Measured on GAP9, tiled, single-buffer (4 mini-batches): L2 SimpleMLP PASS static L2 68,704 B L2 DS-CNN PASS -> was 4/4 errors, static L2 179,264 B L2 ResNet-8 on-chip PASS -> was 4/4 errors, static L2 172,016 B L3 Autoencoder PASS unchanged, bit-identical losses L3 ResNet-8 PASS unchanged, bit-identical losses L3 MobileNetV1 PASS unchanged, bit-identical losses ResNet-8 on-chip now fits with all four mini-batches: its static L2 drops from 521,536 B (weights baked) to 172,016 B, leaving the 1,350,236 B arena 50 KB of headroom where it was previously 2,492 B short. Two known failures are left untouched and are not caused by this change: CCT-2 in L3 (forward is bit-exact at step 0, the weights are destroyed by the first optimizer step) and CCT-QLoRA in L2, whose numerical error only became visible now that its LoRA weights are actually loaded -- it used to "pass" because a zeroed LoRA adapter contributes nothing and LoRA-B is zero-initialised anyway.

That condition holds for none of the six -- every one of their inputs.npz carries mb1, mb2 and mb3, so auto-detection works and returns the right answer on its own. The value is wrong as well. These graphs take two inputs that change per mini-batch, e.g. CCT: input [1, 3, 32, 32] FLOAT labels [1] INT64 Declaring one makes TRAINING_NUM_DATA_INPUTS 1, and the harness indexes the weights as DeeployNetwork_inputs[TRAINING_NUM_DATA_INPUTS + wi], so the whole weight array shifts by one slot in the optimizer's copy-in and copy-out.

It says nothing about where those tensors live -- the same model reports the same number in an on-chip-L2 and an L3 configuration -- so "sram" invited exactly the wrong reading, that it measured on-chip footprint. What it is good for is a parameter-count cross-check. It caught a real mistake during this session: a re-measurement started on a branch without the MLperf-compliant fixtures reported 10,928 B for DS-CNN instead of 92,720 B, which is 2,732 parameters instead of 23,180 -- the old non-compliant model. Worth keeping, worth naming honestly. Renamed in the two harnesses that emit it and the three parsers that read it, and documented at both ends. The BENCH line is now BENCH train_cycles=N opt_cycles=N trainable_bytes=N Also drops the WEIGHTDUMP debug probe that was committed by accident in "drop the bogus num_data_inputs=1 overrides"; it was inert (nothing defines WEIGHTDUMP) but had no business shipping.

The quantised model is checked against references generated from the float one. Measured error is 0.12-0.50; the 5e-2 tolerance already in the config was an earlier attempt to absorb exactly this. Widening it further would be the same mistake, so the fix is to regenerate the references from each graph. ResNet-8 with PromoteTensorsToL2 (singlebuffer + doublebuffer) Promotion shifts the FP32 accumulation order. The step-0 forward alone is off by 8.7e-4 against a 1e-3 tolerance where plain L3 is bit-exact, and steps 1-3 drift to 0.005-0.025. Reproduced 3/3 with the same 3-of-4 count, so it is deterministic rather than flaky. MobileNetV1 and CCT-2 take the same promote path and stay within 1e-4, which makes this look specific rather than inherent, but it is off the critical path: ResNet-8's fastest verified configuration is on-chip L2 at 116.2 ms, faster than promote and numerically clean.

The SDK prints "Allocation failed for allocator 2" and the program carries on: the generated code computes every tile address from a NULL base, so the failure surfaces much later as an unrelated Invalid access at a garbage address -- or not at all, if the wild reads land on mapped memory and the run merely produces wrong numbers. That is the same shape of problem as the dead loss comparison this branch fixes: something is broken, nothing says so, and the evidence turns up far from the cause. Both GAP9 L1 allocation templates now abort at the point of failure and print the requested size, so the log names what happened. The budget that triggered it -- ResNet-8 on-chip at --l1 122000 against 118,672 B of free cluster L1 -- is corrected in the branch that raised it.

Measured peak, identity -> mem_min: ResNet-8 1434.0 -> 1313.8 KB (-8.4%), MobileNetV1 3594.9 -> 3351.9 (-6.8%), CCT-2 2535.1 -> 2471.6 (-2.5%), Autoencoder 66.3 -> 65.0 (-2.0%), DS-CNN 64.7 -> 64.6 (-0.2%). All of it is activation; persistent does not move. Errors: 0 out of 4 throughout, as it must be -- ordering changes when tensors are live, never what is computed. ResNet-8 on-chip L2 does not fit at all in the exported order ("Memory allocator failed at memory level L2 with capacity of 1397280 bytes") and fits with mem_min, so for that deployment the list schedule is not an optimisation but a precondition.
