CP shared-KV slot remaps already have forward-batch lifetime, but the IPC materialize path rebuilt owner/source/dense descriptor tensors on every layer. Cache prefix/current IPC descriptors on the token and paged slot-remap objects, keyed by layout, spans, device, descriptor kind, and prefix capacity, so all model layers can reuse the same request/batch-plan descriptors. Constraint: Small-extend cache-hit workloads showed descriptor setup could exceed the all-reduce baseline before any IPC kernel work ran. Rejected: Global descriptor cache | slot-remap lifetime is safer and avoids stale entries across request/batch-plan changes. Rejected: Cache without physical page capacity | prefix descriptors encode capacity-invalid pages and must miss when capacity changes. Confidence: high Scope-risk: moderate Directive: Do not reuse descriptors across different slot_logical_pages identity, CP layout, spans, device, or prefix capacity; stale descriptors can alias dense slots across requests. Tested: Local py_compile; local git diff --check; remote g0034 cjy-glm5-new targeted descriptor tests 2 passed; remote full test_cp_shared_kv_runtime.py 146 passed, 21 warnings, 2 subtests passed. Not-tested: Full ETE throughput/accuracy after descriptor cache; CUDA service benchmark still needed to quantify speedup. (cherry picked from commit addd1ca1571e41458315d15304a0e841682fe8fa)
Unit Tests
Component-level tests that do not launch a server or load model weights. Tests can use CPU or GPU — the key criterion is no server process.
Quick Start
- Find the source file under
python/sglang/srt/. - Create the corresponding test here, mirroring the source tree:
srt/mem_cache/radix_cache.py → unit/mem_cache/test_radix_cache.py srt/sampling/sampling_params.py → unit/sampling/test_sampling_params.py - Register for CI at the top of the file (after imports, before test classes):
from sglang.test.ci.ci_register import register_cpu_ci register_cpu_ci(est_time=5, suite="stage-a-test-cpu") # or: register_cuda_ci(est_time=10, suite="stage-b-test-1-gpu-small") - Run locally:
pytest test/registered/unit/ -v # all unit tests pytest test/registered/unit/mem_cache/ -v # one module - Run with coverage:
# summary pytest test/registered/unit/ --cov --cov-config=.coveragerc -v # PR incremental check (require ≥60% on changed lines) pytest test/registered/unit/ --cov --cov-config=.coveragerc --cov-report=xml diff-cover coverage.xml --compare-branch=origin/main --fail-under=60
Example
"""Unit tests for <module> — no server, no model loading."""
from sglang.test.ci.ci_register import register_cpu_ci
register_cpu_ci(est_time=5, suite="stage-a-test-cpu")
import unittest
from sglang.srt.<module> import TargetClass
from sglang.test.test_utils import CustomTestCase
class TestTargetClass(CustomTestCase):
def test_basic_behavior(self):
obj = TargetClass(...)
self.assertEqual(obj.method(), expected)
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
Rules
- No
popen_launch_server()orEngine(...). - No model weight loading.
- Use
CustomTestCase(fromsglang.test.test_utils, adds CI retry). - Use
unittest.mockfor dependencies that are expensive to construct.
