Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Improved execution of Qwen-3 MoE models by introducing an additional GPU stream for MOE balancing, enabling better overlap of operations.
    • Expect reduced latency and higher throughput, especially at larger batch sizes.
    • No changes to model outputs, configuration, or APIs; behavior remains the same.

GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a second CUDA stream for MoE balancing in Qwen3MoE by extending aux_stream_dict passed to create_moe: retains AuxStreamType.MoeChunkingOverlap with the provided aux_stream and adds AuxStreamType.MoeBalancer with a new torch.cuda.Stream(). No public APIs or signatures changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary of Changes
MoE stream management
tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_qwen3_moe.py
In Qwen3MoE.init, augments aux_stream_dict for create_moe to include AuxStreamType.MoeBalancer -> torch.cuda.Stream(), alongside existing AuxStreamType.MoeChunkingOverlap -> aux_stream. No other logic or signatures modified.

  note over MoE,Stream2: MoE may schedule balancing on Stream2 while chunking overlap uses Stream1

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

111-114: Consider reusing a per-model balancer stream instead of per-layer.

You already share aux_stream from Qwen3MoEModel across layers; doing the same for MoeBalancer avoids N_streams = N_layers and reduces overhead without sacrificing concurrency.

Example (outside this hunk):

# In Qwen3MoEModel.__init__
self.aux_stream = torch.cuda.Stream()
self.moe_balancer_stream = torch.cuda.Stream(device=self.aux_stream.device)

# In Qwen3MoEDecoderLayer.__init__
self.mlp = Qwen3MoE(model_config, aux_stream, balancer_stream=model_config_parent.moe_balancer_stream, layer_idx=layer_idx)

# In Qwen3MoE.__init__ signature
def __init__(..., aux_stream: torch.cuda.Stream, balancer_stream: Optional[torch.cuda.Stream] = None, ...):
    ...
    aux_stream_dict = {
        AuxStreamType.MoeChunkingOverlap: aux_stream,
        AuxStreamType.MoeBalancer: balancer_stream or torch.cuda.Stream(device=aux_stream.device),
    }

Preserve module namespaces when importing: from package.subpackage import foo; then call foo.SomeClass() instead of importing the class directly

Prefer docstrings for interfaces used outside a file; limit comments to function-internal or file-local interfaces
Use Google-style docstrings for classes and functions; document attributes/variables inline so Sphinx can render them
Avoid reflection when simpler alternatives exist; prefer explicit parameters and return dicts over locals()/dynamic tricks
In try/except, catch the narrowest exceptions possible; keep try bodies minimal and use else for the main logic when doing duck-typing checks

111-114: AuxStreamType.MoeBalancer is defined and create_moe correctly forwards aux_stream_dict to all backends (fused_moe_wide_ep consumes the MoeBalancer stream as intended).
