Summary

  • Add automatic training/validation data conversion through format and out_format (output_format alias), with dpdata>=1.1.0 as a runtime dependency.
  • Default converted output to deepmd/lmdb and cache it beneath the working directory in .deepmd_dpdata_cache. Record source file membership, size, nanosecond mtime/ctime, and small-file content hashes in an atomic sidecar manifest. Restored inputs with older timestamps invalidate the cache; inputs changed during conversion fail without publishing a valid manifest.
  • Support converted LMDB in TensorFlow, JAX, PyTorch, and PyTorch Exportable, with reproducible sampling and cleanup on training/setup failures. Preserve Python 3.10 compatibility.
  • Make LMDB prob_uniform sample original systems with equal probability; this changes existing LMDB runs that previously sampled them proportionally to their frame counts. Share extended block probability calculation with the NPY loader.
  • Serialize conversion with owned locks. Recover dead local writers, but never evict an identified remote writer solely because its heartbeat looks stale; report such locks for owner verification.

Closes #5237

Configuration constraints

The deepmd/lmdb default requires exactly one resolved input path and an explicit model/type_map. LMDB does not support Paddle, data modifiers, or explicit sys_probs; unsupported settings fail clearly. Use out_format: deepmd/hdf5 for those capabilities or multiple input paths. The training and validation option documentation states these constraints.

Validation

All checks below ran on Python 3.10.12 with CPU backends:

  • Built the Python package and TensorFlow/PyTorch native operators against TensorFlow 2.21.0 and PyTorch 2.13.0+cpu.
  • ruff check ., ruff format ., and git diff --check.
  • 178 focused tests passed across conversion/cache, shared task-map cleanup, common LMDB, PyTorch LMDB adapters, PyTorch Exportable routing, TensorFlow setup cleanup, and TestDPTestEner::test_1frame (plus 22 subtests).
  • Two JAX setup-cleanup tests and four TF2 entrypoint tests passed, for 184 tests total.
  • Real dpdata 1.1.0 conversion regression: replace energy 0 with energy 42, restore an older source mtime, and verify the LMDB reader sees energy 42.
  • Four simultaneous fresh processes reused one converted cache; after restoring the input with an older mtime, four fresh processes all read the updated energy and left no conversion lock.
  • dp --version and Python/TensorFlow imports succeeded.

1147-1162: ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Recursive mtime scan may be slow for large source directories.

_source_mtime walks the entire source directory tree to find the latest modification time. For datasets with many files, this could add noticeable latency on every cache freshness check. Consider caching the computed mtime or using a faster heuristic (e.g., only checking top-level directory mtime plus a sample of files).

In `@deepmd/utils/data_system.py` around lines 1147 - 1162, The `_source_mtime`
function performs a full recursive directory walk using source.rglob("*") to
find the latest modification time across all files, which becomes inefficient
for large source directories. To improve performance, implement a caching
mechanism to store previously computed mtimes so that repeated calls for the
same source directory do not re-scan the entire tree, or alternatively replace
the full recursive scan with a faster heuristic that only examines the top-level
directory mtime and a representative sample of files rather than traversing
every single file.

786-796: 💤 Low value

Mixed-type detection scans all frames at initialization.

_detect_mixed_type iterates through every frame in the LMDB dataset comparing atom types, which could be slow for very large datasets (thousands of frames). Consider caching this property in the LMDB metadata during conversion, or adding a sampling heuristic for large datasets.

large datasets (e.g., more than a configurable threshold), only a sample of

result on subsequent calls and use the sampling strategy to limit iterations
while still maintaining reasonable confidence in the mixed-type detection.

1395-1408: 💤 Low value

Single-LMDB fast-path only; consider documenting multi-LMDB limitation.

The LMDB routing only handles the case where systems resolves to exactly one LMDB path. If multiple LMDB paths are provided (or conversion produces multiple systems), they fall through to DeepmdDataSystem. Consider adding a log warning or updating docstring to clarify this behavior.

LmdbDataSystem, and update the function's docstring to document this single-LMDB
fast-path behavior and clarify what happens with multiple LMDB inputs.

1219-1277: ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Stale lock files may persist after process crashes.

If a process crashes after creating the lock file (line 1242) but before the finally block runs (e.g., SIGKILL), the .lock file will remain. Subsequent processes will wait 5 minutes before timing out. Consider adding stale-lock detection using the PID written to the lock file, or a timestamp-based staleness check.

FileExistsError block before calling _wait_for_conversion. Read the PID from the
existing lock file and check if that process is still running using
platform-appropriate methods (e.g., os.kill with signal 0 on Unix, or process
existence checks). If the process is not running or if the lock file is older
than a reasonable threshold (e.g., 10 minutes), remove the stale lock file and
retry the lock acquisition instead of waiting. This prevents indefinite hangs on
stale locks from crashed processes.

Inline comments:
In `@deepmd/pd/entrypoints/main.py`:
- Around line 123-144: The current LMDB validation checks for both
training_systems and validation_systems only reject LMDB when the result is a
single system (len(...) == 1), but the error messages indicate that Paddle does
not support LMDB data in general. Remove the len(...) == 1 condition from both
the training_systems check (around line 123) and the validation_systems check
(around line 139) so that any LMDB dataset is rejected regardless of whether
it's a single system or multiple systems in the list. This ensures that any
LMDB-resolved dataset triggers the NotImplementedError with a clear message,
preventing less clear failures downstream.

In `@deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py`:
- Around line 118-132: The current code in _get_neighbor_stat_data only
validates the single-LMDB case with `if len(systems) == 1 and
is_lmdb(systems[0])`, but when format-based conversion produces multiple LMDB
paths, this check is skipped and execution falls through to get_data() instead
of raising an appropriate error for list-form LMDB systems. Add validation
guards in both _get_neighbor_stat_data and _build_data_system functions to
ensure that after process_systems() is called, if any LMDB systems are returned,
they are validated to not be in list form (similar to what _detect_lmdb_path
does), and raise a clear error before reaching the fallback get_data() or
DeepmdDataSystem paths.

In `@deepmd/pt/entrypoints/main.py`:
- Around line 197-204: Add a validation guard before the existing condition that
checks `len(systems) == 1 and is_lmdb(systems[0])` to prevent multiple LMDB
paths from being passed to DpLoaderSet. The guard should use
`isinstance(systems, list)` combined with `any(isinstance(s, str) and is_lmdb(s)
for s in systems)` to detect when systems is a list containing LMDB paths and
raise a clear ValueError message explaining that LMDB datasets must be passed as
a scalar string rather than as a list.

In `@deepmd/utils/data_system.py`:
- Around line 848-852: Add a defensive check at the beginning of the
`_stack_frames` method to guard against empty frames lists. Before accessing
`frames[0]` at line 864, add validation to check if the frames list is empty and
handle this edge case appropriately, such as raising a more informative error or
returning early. This will prevent IndexError when the sampler yields an empty
batch due to malformed LMDB data, since both `_load_set` and `get_batch` call
this method with frames lists derived from sampler indices.

Pull request overview

Adds dpdata-backed automatic dataset format conversion (with caching) to the DeePMD-kit training/validation data pipeline, defaulting converted outputs to LMDB and routing those datasets through backend-appropriate data loaders.

Changes:

  • Introduce format / out_format (output_format) options for training/validation datasets and wire them through TF/JAX legacy loaders, PyTorch, and PT-expt entrypoints.
  • Add an LMDB adapter (LmdbDataSystem) plus LMDB-path validation helpers to ensure backends either consume a single LMDB path or raise clear errors (notably for Paddle).
  • Add tests for conversion/caching behavior and LMDB validation, and promote dpdata>=1.0.1 to a runtime dependency.

  • If the converting process crashes after creating the lock file, the .lock can persist indefinitely and every future run will wait ~5 minutes and then fail. Consider adding stale-lock recovery: include PID+timestamp in the lock file and, when waiting, remove the lock if it's older than a threshold and the recorded PID is not alive (or the lock mtime is старе than threshold). This avoids permanent failure modes on shared filesystems/cluster retries.

deepmd/utils/data_system.py:1148

  • When format='auto' and systems points to a directory (common for existing DeePMD npy/raw datasets), suffix is empty and this returns 'auto', which then forces dpdata conversion via process_systems() even though the input may already be valid DeePMD data. This can lead to unexpected conversion attempts or failures. A concrete fix is to treat directory inputs specially under auto: detect DeePMD directory structure (e.g., set.* + type_map.raw/type.raw/coord.npy) and skip conversion (set fmt=None), otherwise fall back to suffix-based inference for files.
def _normalize_dpdata_format(fmt: str, source: Path) -> str:
    fmt = fmt.lower()

On large datasets this becomes a noticeable overhead. A more scalable approach is to scope the scan to only the selected conversion inputs (especially when patterns is provided), cache the computed source timestamp per (source, cwd) within the process, or use a cheaper invalidation scheme (e.g., top-level mtime + a manifest hash) to avoid full-tree scans.

Updated in e548f74ac and 929d02764:

  • require dpdata>=1.1.0 and use the canonical deepmd/lmdb format by default;
  • delegate LMDB staging, validation, and transactional overwrite to dpdata instead of wrapping it with DeePMD-kit-side directory removal and rename logic;
  • add a real dpdata 1.1 EXTXYZ → LMDB → DeePMD reader regression, including stale-cache refresh;
  • merge current master and adapt the legacy LMDB data system to LmdbBatchSampler plus availability-aware sampling groups.

Validation:

  • ruff check .
  • ruff format . (1,785 files unchanged)
  • LMDB conversion, reader, sampler, and pt-expt training tests: 160 passed and 18 subtests passed
  • TensorFlow core test: TestDPTestEner::test_1frame passed

325-325: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Close every LmdbDataSystem created by a test.

These tests construct an LmdbDataSystem and never call close(). Each instance holds an open LMDB environment and a live read transaction through the module-level _ENV_CACHE. Release depends on __del__ and therefore on garbage-collection timing. The environment can still be open when tearDown removes the temporary directory. test_get_data_uses_format_conversion already closes its instance at line 384. Use self.addCleanup(data.close) in the others.

♻️ Example for one call site
         data = LmdbDataSystem(str(lmdb_path), ["H"], batch_size=1)
+        self.addCleanup(data.close)

Restore the working directory with addCleanup.

setUp changes the working directory at line 224 and writes the source file at line 226. If line 226 raises, tearDown does not run. The process then keeps a working directory that TemporaryDirectory later removes, and every following test in the same process runs from a deleted directory. Register the restore and the cleanup immediately after they become needed.

Note: addCleanup runs in reverse registration order, so the directory change is restored before the temporary directory is removed.

Requesting changes for a supported-runtime compatibility blocker on the current head. deepmd/utils/data_system.py imports Self from typing, but DeePMD-kit supports Python 3.10 and typing.Self is only available starting in Python 3.11. On Python 3.10 this prevents the module from importing, so the new data-system path cannot run at all. The exact-head CI corroborates this: the Python 3.10 test matrix is failing. This issue is already raised in an existing inline review thread, so I am not duplicating the inline comment. Please use typing_extensions.Self (or avoid Self) and rerun the Python 3.10 jobs.

I reviewed the complete 14-file diff, linked issue, repository instructions, existing review threads/comments, and current-head checks. I did not find an additional high-confidence blocking issue that was not already raised by existing reviewers.

The conversion pipeline itself looks solid to me: the cache key covers the resolved path, both formats, the schema and the dpdata version, so same-basename systems do not collide; dpdata 1.1.0's deepmd/lmdb writer stages to a temp directory and publishes with a single os.replace, so a killed conversion cannot leave a half-written database at the final path; and the multi-element type_map question that worried me turned out fine, because MultiSystems harmonises atom_names before .to() and the writer refuses to emit metadata without a global type_map, which the reader then remaps or rejects loudly. I checked each of those against the 1.1.0 sources rather than assuming.

What holds this up is one hard blocker and one design point that shows up in three places.

The blocker is the Python 3.10 import, inline below. It is the same thing the bot review already requested changes for, and every 3.10 job on this commit is red because of it.

The design point: out_format defaults to deepmd/lmdb unconditionally, but the LMDB path through get_data has a narrower contract than the NPY path it replaces. It accepts exactly one resolved input, drops modifier and the seed, and is refused by Paddle. Each of those is a reasonable limitation of an LMDB-backed dataset on its own; the problem is that a user who sets only format gets all of them silently, under the default, and the argcheck doc says the default is conditional when it is not. The three inline comments below are the concrete symptoms. Either the default should be a format that keeps the NPY contract, or each dropped capability needs to fail fast the way sys_probs already does through validate_lmdb_sampling_options.

Non-blocking, for the same pass or a follow-up:

  • The lock-liveness code in _lock_owner_is_alive / _recover_stale_conversion_lock has several branches with no test (other-host owner, PermissionError, live owner, owner_alive is None and lease_expired), and format: auto plus _looks_like_extxyz are documented but never exercised, since every test passes fmt="extxyz". The repository guideline asks for both sides of each boolean branch to be covered, and these are the branches that decide whether a live writer's lock gets deleted.
  • Related: the 30 s stale lease is judged against a heartbeat that another node sees through NFS attribute caching, whose default window is longer than that. The repository already has a rank-0-plus-broadcast mechanism for exactly this shape of problem (run_stat_on_chief), and torch.distributed is initialised before conversion runs in the pt entrypoint, so it would be usable here and would also give waiters a propagated failure instead of a retry cascade.
  • deepmd/utils/data_system.py now carries a third LmdbDataSystem-shaped implementation next to deepmd/pt_expt/utils/lmdb_dataset.py and pt's LmdbDataset, with the stat-group logic from #5944 copied into it. Worth converging on one before the copies drift.
  • compute_block_targets in lmdb_data.py re-inlines prob_sys_size_ext (the function-local import used before already broke the cycle) and changes prob_uniform for existing LMDB runs from size-proportional to truly uniform. That is probably the right semantics, but it is a sampling change for current users and the PR description does not mention it.
  • The PR body says dpdata>=1.0.1; pyproject.toml pins >=1.1.0, and the 1.1.0 writer's atomicity is what the docstring in _write_dpdata_conversion relies on, so 1.1.0 is the right one and the body should match.

Reviewed the full diff against 8cfd46e3 at head b3a2715. One new blocking issue; details inline.

The conversion cache can silently serve stale data. _is_conversion_current infers freshness from output.st_mtime >= source.st_mtime, which any mtime-preserving restore (cp -p, rsync -a, tar -xp, snapshot rollback) breaks. Reproduced on this head.

Already reported and still reproducing, so not re-raised: the typing.Self import (the single root cause of all 15 red checks), the single-input LMDB restriction, the dropped modifier and seed in get_data, the doc_out_format mismatch, and six open CodeQL/CodeRabbit threads.

Checked and found sound: the dpdata>=1.1.0 pin and its transactional LMDB writer; the conversion lock under six concurrent processes; LmdbTestDataNlocView satisfying the JAX/TF2 validation contract; ordinary in-place source edits invalidating the cache correctly.

Not verified: multi-task, spin/Hessian, the C++/LAMMPS consumers, and the GPU runs listed in the description.

1466-1476: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Keep signature reuse phase-local. A writer normally performs four source scans: the outer check, the post-lock check, and the pre- and post-conversion checks. A waiter scans once before waiting and once after lock release. Do not reuse one signature across these phases because the source can change while waiting or converting, which would bypass the source-change-during-conversion check. Preserve the post-lock and post-conversion scans. Reduce overhead only by reusing the first result when the in-memory cache entry is already stale.

Pushed 2f3798826 with the remaining conversion and dataset-lifecycle review fixes. Replies are attached to every previously unanswered inline thread, including findings already fixed in 75f49ce45.

For the review-summary nitpicks: cache freshness is now checked once in the pre-lock phase, with separate checks retained after waiting/acquiring the lock and before/after conversion. The earlier fix already registered test dataset/CWD cleanup with addCleanup and removed the unused _detect_pbc method.

Validation on Python 3.10.12 with CPU TensorFlow/PyTorch: 258 tests and 22 subtests passed, including source conversion/cache, LMDB readers/samplers, PyTorch adapters, factory/setup cleanup, the TensorFlow core test, and real three-step PyTorch Exportable LMDB training. ruff check ., ruff format ., git diff --check, all commit hooks, both fresh-process loader import orders, and CLI/backend-help smoke checks passed.

Re-reviewed the current head after the latest lifecycle/cache fixes. I read the complete 23-file diff, linked #5237 context, repository guidance, existing review threads/replies and current exact-head checks. The previously raised Python 3.10, stale conversion-cache, dangling-symlink, lock-constructor cleanup, import-cycle, LMDB seed/modifier/routing, and setup-lifecycle issues are addressed at this head; the latest CodeRabbit pass also reports no actionable issue. I did not find a new high-confidence blocker.

I am leaving this as NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW / COMMENT rather than approving because exact-head Test Python and Test C++ are still in progress. Build C++, Build C library, Test CUDA, CodeQL, and packaging are successful. If the remaining tests complete successfully without another head change, this head is otherwise ready for approval from this review pass.

Exact-head CI is now complete and green: Test Python and Test C++ have both passed, along with Build C++, Build C library, Test CUDA, CodeQL, and packaging. This head was fully reviewed earlier with no remaining high-confidence blocker, and the head has not changed since that review. Approving now that the final CI condition is satisfied.

All four threads from the earlier round are addressed at this head: typing_extensions.Self restores Python 3.10 (all twelve 3.10 shards and the cp310 wheel pass), the multi-input and modifier cases now fail fast with clear messages before any dpdata I/O, and the out_format docs describe the actual unconditional default. The new tests pass locally (conversion + train_data 44, lmdb_data + pt dataloader 190, pt_expt 47, whole dpmodel dir 1302), and the changes-requested verdict no longer stands.

Two inline points worth landing before merge, neither blocking. Smaller notes here:

  • validate_lmdb_systems (
    def validate_lmdb_systems(
    ) and prob_sys_size_ext ( ) are new public functions without the numpydoc Parameters/Returns sections the rest of the module uses.
  • The cache signature walks the source with os.walk(..., followlinks=False) (
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source, onerror=raise_walk_error):
    ), so files under a symlinked subdirectory never enter the manifest. A dataset that links its frames in, then edits them, reuses the stale LMDB silently. Either follow links or record the link targets in the signature.
  • On the multi-input thread: rejecting with a pointer to deepmd/hdf5 is an acceptable resolution, but with deepmd/lmdb as the unconditional default it means the multi-directory aggregation that #5033 added now errors by default as soon as format is set. Worth a second thought on whether the default should be conditional on a single resolved input.

This guard only runs inside prepare_trainer_input_single, which train() reaches via get_trainer. But the neighbor-stat block earlier in train() (line 336) calls the shared get_data(config["training"]["training_data"], 0, type_map, None) with no guard at all. With format: extxyz and the new default out_format: deepmd/lmdb, that call runs the whole dpdata to LMDB conversion, writes the cache entry, builds an LmdbDataSystem and passes it to BaseModel.update_sel, and only afterwards does get_trainer raise NotImplementedError("Paddle backend does not support LMDB data yet").

That inverts the contract validate_backend_data_config documents for itself ("Reject unsupported converted output before dpdata performs any I/O"). On a large dataset the user pays the full conversion cost and disk footprint before being told the configuration is unsupported.

Calling validate_backend_data_config once before the neighbor-stat block would close it; putting the check inside the shared get_data/process_systems layer would also cover deepmd/dpmodel/entrypoints/compress_common.py and deepmd/pt/entrypoints/compress.py, which have the same unguarded shape.

natoms_vec[2:] is built here as a per-type maximum taken independently across the frames of the batch, so for a batch whose frames differ in composition sum(natoms_vec[2:]) can exceed natoms_vec[0].

The mixed-type convention from 5fe6e57 (#2372) is the opposite: DeepmdDataSystem._merge_batch_data sets natoms_vec = np.zeros(2 + ntypes) and then natoms_vec[0:3] = max_natoms, leaving the per-type slots zero and keeping the per-frame truth in real_natoms_vec. That preserves sum(natoms_vec[2:]) == natoms_vec[0], which TF consumers assume.

Most mixed-type TF paths read real_natoms_vec, so this is latent there, but deepmd/tf/fit/ener.py slices atype_nall with tf.reduce_sum(natoms[2 : 2 + ntypes_atom]) on the spin path, and get_data() now returns LmdbDataSystem to the TF/TF2/JAX legacy trainers, so that slice can run past nloc. Suggest mirroring _merge_batch_data (natoms_vec = np.zeros(2 + ntypes, dtype=np.int32); natoms_vec[0:3] = pad_nloc), or an assertion plus a comment if the per-type values are deliberately relied upon somewhere.

Re-reviewed this head because new substantive discussion landed after my earlier approval. I independently confirmed the two new inline findings, so I am replacing that approval with REQUEST_CHANGES.

The blocking correctness issue is in LmdbDataSystem._legacy_batch: it builds natoms_vec[2:] from independent per-type maxima across frames. For mixed-composition batches this can make sum(natoms_vec[2:]) > natoms_vec[0]. That differs from the established mixed-type _merge_batch_data convention (natoms_vec = zeros(2 + ntypes); natoms_vec[0:3] = max_natoms, with per-frame composition kept in real_natoms_vec). The discrepancy is observable in the TensorFlow spin path, where deepmd/tf/fit/ener.py slices atype_nall using tf.reduce_sum(natoms[2:2+ntypes_atom]); the inflated batch-level counts can request more atoms than nloc. Please mirror the existing mixed-type convention or otherwise preserve the same invariant, and add a mixed-composition LMDB regression covering a legacy/TF consumer.

I also confirmed the Paddle fail-fast gap: validate_backend_data_config(..., lmdb_supported=False) is only reached inside prepare_trainer_input_single, while the earlier neighbor-stat block calls shared get_data(...) first. With format: extxyz and default out_format: deepmd/lmdb, Paddle can therefore perform the full conversion/cache write and construct an LMDB data system before eventually reporting that LMDB is unsupported. Move or duplicate the backend validation before the neighbor-stat get_data path so unsupported configs fail before dpdata I/O, matching the helper's contract.

Both findings already have precise unresolved inline threads from another reviewer, so I did not duplicate inline comments. The exact-head CI is otherwise green: Test Python, Test CUDA, Test C++, Build C++, Build C library, CodeQL, and PyPI/package all pass.

Please address the following reproduced correctness issues before merging.

  1. [P1] Partition periodic/nonperiodic frames using exact structural information. The box requirement in deepmd/utils/data_system.py:1067-1069 relies on the bounded optional-label availability probe. A valid 300-frame LMDB with one nonperiodic frame outside the 256-frame probe remains a single periodic view. I reproduced a batch with 31 periodic frames and one nonperiodic frame receiving find_box=0 and a nonperiodic default_mesh of length 1. With neighbor statistics skipped, periodic interactions are lost; with normal TF startup, NeighborStat instead reports a false "Some atoms are overlapping" error on the zero-cell frame. PBC compatibility needs exact metadata/partitioning or validation of actual batch contents, rather than sampled uniformity. Please add a regression with a rare nonperiodic frame outside the probe.

  2. [P1] Include symlinked directory contents in cache invalidation, or reject unsupported layouts. In deepmd/utils/data_system.py:1502-1509, os.walk does not descend into directory symlinks. With real dpdata 1.1.0, an ABACUS source containing INPUT/STRU and an OUT.ABACUS symlink converts energy 0. After changing the linked running_scf.log to energy 42 and closing all readers, direct dpdata reads 42, but the source signature is unchanged and process_systems still returns cached energy 0. Follow relevant directory targets with cycle protection, or fail clearly instead of silently reusing stale training data. Please test content changes inside a directory symlink, separately from the existing file-symlink coverage.

  3. [P2] Preserve per-batch system probabilities with automatic batch sizes. In deepmd/dpmodel/utils/lmdb_data.py:2890-2894, prob_uniform equalizes frame counts without accounting for different effective batch sizes. Two original systems, H1 and H32, with 128 frames each and batch_size="auto", produce batch sizes 32 and 1 and therefore 4 versus 128 training batches (approximately 3%/97%). The documented contract and NPY path choose systems per batch with equal probability; an independent 10,000-batch NPY check gave 4,976/5,024. Please incorporate effective batch counts and cover unequal-nloc systems.

There are also two important performance/design concerns:

  • The eager dpdata.MultiSystems conversion at data_system.py:1752-1754 retains the full dataset. For a real EXTXYZ input with 32 atoms/frame, increasing 200/400/800 frames caused 32.5/129.6/517.8 MB of cumulative NumPy concatenation output, demonstrating quadratic copying during same-formula assembly. A streaming/chunked path is needed for large datasets, or the supported scale should be explicitly bounded.
  • Uniform oversampling materializes an entire epoch before serving batches. A sampler probe with 19,900 stored frames (one 10,000-frame system and 99 systems of 100 frames) expanded to 1,000,000 occurrences and added approximately 46.3 MiB peak RSS. Please consider lazy sampling rather than materializing number_of_systems * largest_system_frames entries per epoch and rank.

Validation: 286 focused tests and 26 subtests passed against the current Python source. The failures above were found with additional targeted reproductions. Existing native artifacts were reused; this is not a fresh full native build or a GPU/multi-TB benchmark. The correctness reproductions do not depend on that native-build limitation. I have not repeated older issues already fixed in this revision.

Everything my last review listed is addressed at 2f379882, including the mtime-restored source.

Blocking, inline: directory symlinks still let the cache go stale (OutisLi's item 2; ln -sfn is a second trigger).

Also blocking, already raised and still present at this head: wanghan-iapcm's natoms_vec and Paddle-ordering threads, and OutisLi's items 1 (PBC probe) and 3 (prob_uniform with auto batch size).

Blocking: os.walk doesn't descend into directory symlinks. Editing files under a linked OUT.ABACUS/ (OutisLi's item 2) or ln -sfn to another run leaves the signature unchanged; the stale cache is reused silently. Fix: followlinks=True plus an inode cycle guard.
