Replaces §9.3's object-level rank-uniform eviction with per-rank, page-level LRU GC running ON THE
WRITE THREAD (the sole slot-pool owner -> no lock, no second owner). Genuinely communication-free:
each (hash,payload) is written/read/deleted by exactly its one owner (owner = i%cp_size, and the
prefix-chained content hash makes one-hash = one-position = one-owner), so the shared LMDB's own
consistency substitutes for collectives within L3 (design §9.5/§9.6). GC touches only L3, adds zero
collectives; the spill/reload MINs that remain are all the L2 bridge.
cp_l3_store.py:
- Per-payload lazy-deletion min-heap `_gc_heap` of (last_access, seq, hash) + authoritative
`_gc_current{hash->(last_access,slot)}`. Add on write, touch via `_touch_q`, reclaim coldest.
- The write loop, each iteration: drain touches -> _gc_collect (reclaim coldest of any pool over the
0.90 start watermark down to 0.85, bounded budget) BEFORE the next write, so spill never hits a full
pool (no evict burst on the critical path). Continuous + proactive, symmetric with the spill.
- Reclaim deletes the index entry (durable) BEFORE freeing the slot, so a racing reload reads None or a
CRC-mismatched reused slot -> miss -> recompute (fail-soft); no lock / in-flight-exclusion needed.
- submit_touch (scheduler->write thread); clear() resets the GC structures.
hiradix_cache.py: wire the reload `touch` (the 3.2 gap -- hit_count/last_access never updated): at
_cp_l3_admit_reload, bump the L3 last_access of THIS rank's owned reloaded pages (ALL pages, not just
the tail, so a prefix ages uniformly). _cp_l3_insert_reloaded_node now returns the node (its
last_access seeds the touch).
Sharing handled optimally for free (page = one entry, last_access = max over touchers; prefix pages
age together; shared-hot survives) -- no object-record table, no refcount, no content-keying. 56 L3
unit tests green (new: GC reclaims coldest-to-watermark + no slot leak; touch keeps a page warm).
Cold-rebuild (scan slab headers + LMDB) is designed (§9.6) but deferred to 3.4 (crash-recovery).

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.
