- route decode benchmark through InferenceEngine generate path
- add enable_cuda_graph toggle to engine, scheduler, and executor
- make benchmark --cuda-graph/--no-cuda-graph control the toggle
- hoist local time imports to module top
- Eliminate core/ directory into cache/, runtime/, network/ subpackages plus flat modules
- Split cache.py (647 lines) into cache/{buffer,strategy,pool}.py by layer
- Add explicit ContiguousStrategy, make AllocationStrategy a real ABC
- Move TaskCacheState to cache/strategy.py, drop string forward references
- Rename api/ to network/, server.py to app.py
- Move sample.py into runtime/ alongside executor and graph
- Simplify TaskCacheManager.__init__ to single pool param
- Expose pool.strategy and pool.req_pool as public properties
- Fix KVCache import in attention_backend.py (TYPE_CHECKING guard)
- Fix steady-state decode reading uninitialized position_ids on first step
- TaskCacheRegistry -> TaskCacheManager (independent, held by scheduler)
- TaskCacheState co-locates 5 parallel dicts into one dataclass
- AllocationStrategy base class + PagedStrategy subclass (page_size is a parameter)
- _rollback() helper for unified cleanup (no duplicate free paths)
- Task._kv_len + prefill_done property (explicit, no output_tokens proxy)
- Steady-state detection single-sourced in TaskCacheManager.bind()
- PagePool is now pure physical layer (no task knowledge)
- Removed dead _page_to_hash dict in RadixCache
- move setup_logging to astrai/logging.py
- timed() now uses logger.isEnabledFor(DEBUG) instead of separate env var
- enable ASTR_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG to see per-step timing logs
- call setup_logging() in stream_chat.py
- Pre-allocate decode_out in InferenceWorkspace so attn_paged_decode does not call torch::empty inside graph capture
- Wire decode_out through KVCache, PagePool.bind_tasks, and CudaBackend.fwd_decode
- Run live forward before graph capture to get valid output (graph pool memory is zeroed after capture block exits)
- Greedy generation with graph replay is bit-exact across all batch sizes
- Decode speedups vs no-graph: B=1 2.09x, B=4 1.80x, B=8 1.94x, B=16 1.76x
- Replace per-.cu-file static cached tensors with workspace-managed pre-allocated buffers
- InferenceWorkspace now owns decode_o_part / decode_ml_part (mirrors FlashInfer's workspace pattern)
- KVCache carries the buffers through the backend -> C++ kernel chain
- C++ kernels accept optional pre-allocated buffers; fallback to alloc_split_partials for backward compat
- Pre-allocates once at Executor init, zero allocation in the decode hot loop
- Prerequisite for CUDA-graph capture (all kernel addresses are stable)
- adapt bind_tasks to workspace API and reuse a stable workspace
- drop required checkpoint, randomize default 1B GQA preset
- add config override flag for arbitrary model architectures
- Drop hardcoded CACHE_MAX_SEQ=2048 which overflowed at long prompts
- Size prefill pool to prompt_length and decode pool to prompt+5+gen*num_trials
- Unblocks decode/prefill benchmark at prompt 4096+ (was KV cache index OOB)
- setup_logging(): attach handler only to astrai logger, not root
- all astrai.* sub-module loggers inherit automatically
- controlled by ASTR_LOG_LEVEL env var (default INFO)
- called in if __name__ == '__main__' of each CLI script
- Replace argparse with click in all scripts (train, server, generate,
preprocess, benchmark)
- Add --config YAML support to train.py with CLI flag override
- Add --dry-run mode to validate config before training
- Add type annotations throughout benchmark.py
- Unify docstring format across all commands
- Remove redundant deps httpx, requests, pyyaml, rich from pyproject.toml
- Net -346 lines while adding YAML config support
- Replaced old KVCage API with PageCache/ContiguousCache
- Added --cache contiguous|paged switch for decoding comparison
- Added argparse for all params (batch/prompt/gen/device/dtype)
- Fixed PageCache decode crash by extending pages for full sequence
