Research direction

No source file or test is named. Profile prefill, decode, KV-cache access, and synchronization on NVIDIA Thor X using the stated BF16 batch-1 workload, comparing warmed iterations with the reference. Done means identifying and correcting the regression while preserving exact token IDs and the existing performance gate.

Description

AI bug

This was generated by AI during triage.

Summary

nemotron-hindi-4b completes aligned BF16 generation and matches exact token IDs, but TRTMC latency is 17.0% above the reference.

Observed behavior

  • Precision: TRTMC BF16, reference BF16
  • Output contract: exact token IDs (matched)
  • Request: batch 1, 20 new tokens
  • Measurement: 3 warmups followed by 10 iterations
  • Candidate p50: 717.17 ms
  • Reference p50: 612.85 ms
  • Regression: +17.0% (allowed margin: 5%)

The ten measured iterations are stable enough that this is not a single-sample outlier.

Expected behavior

The generation path should remain within the registered performance margin after warmup.

Acceptance criteria

  • Profile prefill, decode, KV-cache access, and synchronization.
  • Identify and fix the measured regression.
  • Preserve exact-token output and the existing performance gate.

Reproduction platform

  • Hardware: NVIDIA Thor X
  • Architecture: aarch64
  • TensorRT: 11.0
  • GPU carveout: 48 GiB
