Revision measured: 98a65e46d0076319f2fcb49ded77e6a93ecab6be integrated with upstream 4e1479d8. Matrix: 27 processes, 23 completed, 4 OOM (Neo4096 TORCH and Pro4096 in all three arms).

Earlier single-process Neo screening

• 1000 atoms: latency 40.817 → 39.470 ms (-3.30%; 1.034× throughput), steady allocated peak 5.464760 → 5.449051 GB (15.709 MB saved), reserved peak 6.090129 → 5.691671 GB.
• 4096 atoms: latency 156.476 → 152.964 ms (-2.24%; 1.023× throughput), steady allocated peak 22.313645 → 22.256657 GB (56.988 MB saved), reserved peak 23.953670 → 23.282582 GB.

N1000 passes against both Torch and BASE. At N4096, energy/forces/stress pass against BASE but virial does not; BASE and ECS also fail their respective repeated-run virial check. Torch N4096 runs out of memory.

Follow-up: six-round stability and default-off validation (2026-10-27)

Same revision 98a65e46, integrated with upstream 4e1479d8, same Neo checkpoint and RTX 5090 setup. At each size, six blocks cover all permutations of BASE / OFF / ECS (36 fresh processes total), with 12 warmups and 60 synchronized end-to-end samples per process. OFF is the integrated PR with DP_SO2_EDGE_COHORT_INFER unset, not a different baseline. Each size stays on one GPU. The process, not each timing sample, is the independent repeat.

Atoms	BASE ms	PR, ECS off ms	PR, ECS on ms	Paired ECS-on latency change vs BASE (95% CI)	Faster blocks
1000	40.4459	40.4491	38.7898	−4.125% [−4.204%, −4.048%]	6/6
4096	156.6777	156.6629	153.2502	−2.185% [−2.246%, −2.135%]	6/6

Times are medians of process medians; paired changes are geometric means of within-block ratios, with block-bootstrap 95% intervals (50,000 resamples). These repeated measurements supplement the earlier single-process screening below.

Atoms	BASE → ECS-on allocated peak GB	Saved MB	BASE → ECS-on reserved peak GB	Saved MB
1000	5.464760 → 5.449051	15.709	6.090129 → 5.691671	398.459
4096	22.313645 → 22.256657	56.988	23.953670 → 23.282582	671.089

Decimal GB/MB. Memory values were identical across all six repeats of each arm; both steady and full-window peaks showed these values with the existing compilation cache.

Default-off overhead: paired OFF/BASE latency changes were −0.001% (95% CI [−0.071%, +0.064%]) at 1000 atoms and −0.002% ([−0.044%, +0.048%]) at 4096 atoms. No stable latency regression was observed; allocated and reserved peaks exactly matched BASE. Runtime guards and generated-wrapper inspection confirmed no ECS calls with the switch unset.

The follow-up regression runs passed 200 tests (BASE: 26; OFF: 87; ECS: 87). N1000 inference agreement passed the unchanged tolerance in all arms; the previously reported N4096 virial variability remains. Short training checks did not enter ECS; full-model FP32 loss and updated parameters passed tolerance, but not all gradients/optimizer moments did, so full training trajectory equivalence is not claimed.

Summary

Adds an opt-in, default-off SO(2) edge-cohort backward for frozen DPA4-Neo inference. Set DP_SO2_EDGE_COHORT_INFER=1 with DP_TRITON_INFER=2 and DP_COMPILE_INFER=1 to enable it. Unsupported layouts and protected gradient paths retain the existing implementation.

Why it saves scratch memory

The native path advances each backward layer across the full edge set. This path completes the backward layers for a cohort of at most 8192 edges before advancing to the next cohort. The temporary g, gz, and sig buffers are reused across cohorts; saved activations and the returned input gradient still span all edges. This is an edge count, not an atom count. It reuses the native GEMM arithmetic and column parallelism, with separate full-graph and scratch strides for partial cohorts. Only owned scratch is overwritten; caller inputs are not mutated.

Small runtime-dispatch correction

The latest revision changes two files (35 insertions / 5 deletions): the public backward dispatcher always enters the opaque runtime operator, and a regression test traces 37 edges and then compiles/runs 37, 8193, and 16385 edges. This prevents a small make_fx/AOT example from fixing the large-input dispatch to the single-cohort trace. It does not change the numerical kernels. The complete feature diff remains two implementation files and one test file; no local benchmark data or experiment documents are included.

Validation setup

Baseline: upstream 4e1479d8a23fcc1c9baf36004d5685898ad421a8. The feature branch retains its original base; results below use its clean local integration into that upstream commit. RTX 5090; PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128; Triton 3.6.0; FP32 with TF32 and AMP disabled; expandable CUDA allocator segments; one CPU intra/inter-op thread.

TORCH = compiled PyTorch without native inference kernels; BASE = upstream native Triton inference; ECS = the updated feature enabled on the same upstream base. Each case uses the same checkpoint, device, and three deterministically perturbed diamond-carbon frames. There is one fresh process per implementation/case, three evaluations per frame for accuracy, eight timing warmups, and 30 synchronized wall-time samples. Timing includes the ASE energy/forces/stress evaluation, not just the SO(2) kernel. These are screening medians, not confidence intervals. Neo runs on GPU 0; Nano/Mini on GPU 1; Pro on GPU 0.

Pro's checkpoint metadata uses an older fitting-type alias; the same local load-only compatibility mapping is applied in every arm. Neo's supported narrow layout is the optimization target; Nano, Mini, and Pro are compatibility/fallback checks, not claims of ECS acceleration.

End-to-end latency

Negative change means lower latency. Compare BASE and ECS for incremental PR benefit; Torch is an additional reference.

Peak GPU memory

Decimal GB (10^9 bytes). Full-window allocated includes the first inference/compile window and timed evaluations. Steady allocated resets the peak after warmup. Reserved measures allocator-held capacity, not live tensors. Caches are shared per model, in TORCH → BASE → ECS order: cold compilation/autotuning can affect full-window peaks, so fallback-model first-window differences are not ECS savings. Use the steady allocated comparison to isolate runtime capacity. OOM runs have no valid steady timing or acceptance comparison.

Numerical consistency

Unchanged acceptance rule: every element must satisfy abs(candidate-reference) <= 1e-5 + 1e-4*abs(reference). The table reports the worst error/tolerance ratio across energy, forces, virial, stress and all same-frame repeat pairs; ≤1 passes. Self-comparisons expose native reduction variability. These test implementation agreement, not physical accuracy against DFT. N1000 is the primary Neo accuracy case; N4096 is also reported without suppressing failures.

Regression coverage

• 61 focused CUDA tests passed on the feature branch; 61 passed on its latest-master integration.
• New symbolic make_fx → torch.compile test verifies that large runtime inputs keep the opaque cohort route and match the native backward bit-for-bit for the checked operands.
• Existing tests cover cohort boundaries, ownership/non-mutation, unsupported layouts, parameter/saved-output gradient fallback, and higher-order protection.
• Ruff lint/format and git diff whitespace checks pass on the feature branch.

Run the focused suite with the project's PyTorch/CUDA test environment:

pytest source/tests/pt_expt/kernels/test_so2_edge_cohort.py -q

The feature remains default-off. Standalone AOTInductor/C++ deployment is not validated by the online-Python inference tests above. Multi-model failures/OOM and small-input overhead are reported rather than counted as improvements.

Reproducing the model comparison

Use a CUDA build of this revision and the same checkpoint. Run each arm in a fresh process, setting DP_COMPILE_INFER=1, DP_CUDA_INFER=0, DP_TF32_INFER=0, DP_AMP_INFER=0, DP_INTRA_OP_PARALLELISM_THREADS=1, DP_INTER_OP_PARALLELISM_THREADS=1, and PYTORCH_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True before importing DeePMD. Set DP_TRITON_INFER=0 for TORCH, or 2 for BASE/ECS; only ECS sets DP_SO2_EDGE_COHORT_INFER=1.

import numpy as np
import torch
from ase.build import bulk
from deepmd.calculator import DP

torch.set_num_threads(1)
torch.set_float32_matmul_precision('highest')
torch.backends.cuda.matmul.allow_tf32 = False
torch.backends.cudnn.allow_tf32 = False
atoms = bulk('C', 'diamond', a=3.567, cubic=True).repeat((5, 5, 5))
# (2,2,3): 96 atoms; (5,5,5): 1000; (8,8,8): 4096
rng = np.random.default_rng(0)
frames = [atoms.positions + 0.02 * rng.standard_normal(atoms.positions.shape)
          for _ in range(3)]
calc = DP(model='DPA4-Neo-OMat24-v20260627.pt')
def evaluate(pos):
    calc.reset()  # do not benchmark ASE's result cache
    sample = atoms.copy()
    sample.positions = pos
    sample.calc = calc
    forces = sample.get_forces().copy()
    return (sample.get_potential_energy(), forces,
            np.asarray(calc.results['virial']).copy(), sample.get_stress().copy())

Collect three repeats of all three frames for each arm; compare corresponding frames with the tolerance above. For timing, warm up eight evaluations, synchronize CUDA, then time 30 evaluations with synchronization after each. Record torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated() and max_memory_reserved() from before the first evaluation; separately reset peak statistics after warmup and replay 30 evaluations for steady peaks. Raw measurements and checkpoint hashes are retained locally; the tables above are the review evidence, not additional repository files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an opt-in experimental edge-cohort path for eligible Neo SO(2) workloads. It is disabled by default and falls back to the existing path when the workload is unsupported.
  • The experimental path supports frozen-inference gradient calculations across varying edge counts, including zero-edge inputs. Its performance and standalone deployment support may vary.

Walkthrough

This change adds an experimental Triton edge-cohort backward path for eligible SO(2) inference layouts. An environment switch enables dispatch to it for supported inputs. The existing backward path remains in use when the switch is disabled or the inputs are unsupported.

Changes: SO(2) edge-cohort backward

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stride-aware backward kernels deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/so2_value_path.py	Backward kernels accept optional saved-activation and output edge strides. Existing call sites pass zero, preserving the active-edge-count stride.
Cohort gradient implementation deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/so2_edge_cohort.py, source/tests/pt_expt/kernels/test_so2_edge_cohort.py	Adds layout checks, single-cohort and chunked input-gradient implementations, custom-op and fake-tensor paths, and an alpha-gradient op. CUDA tests compare gradients with native backward and check edge counts, input modes, and unsupported layouts.
Opt-in inference dispatch and compiled-path validation deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/so2_value_path.py, source/tests/pt_expt/kernels/test_so2_edge_cohort.py	Adds the DP_SO2_EDGE_COHORT_INFER switch and selects cohort backward only when enabled and supported. Tests cover compilation, tracing, dispatch conditions, and native-backward comparisons.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 98a65

The opt-in path is mergeable with bounded follow-up: make its dispatch test prove the cohort path runs, and remove or intentionally connect the unused implementation without losing live boundary coverage.

Assert that test_frozen_dispatch enters the cohort path.

operands(37) satisfies the supported layout. The result comparison alone also passes if dispatch remains on _mixing_stack_bwd_op. Spy on ecs.cohort_backward and assert one call.

✅ Proposed fix

Remove or wire only the unused single-cohort path.

cohort_backward always calls _cohort_input_backward(..., COHORT_EDGES), so remove or intentionally dispatch _single_cohort_input_backward and SINGLE_COHORT_MAX_EDGES. The only test that invokes _single_cohort_input_backward is test_single_cohort_owned_output; its shared alpha-gradient and ownership checks are already covered by test_cohort_matches_native.

Keep test_compiled_cohort_bucket_boundary. It invokes the live cohort_backward path for 16384 and 16385 edges and protects the 8192-edge full-cohort to partial-cohort transition.
