Summary

  • Root cause: DefaultADPRouter fed the same per-rank vectors from gather_all_rank_states into two different decisions. With exclude_retiring_requests set, those vectors net out GENERATION_TO_COMPLETE requests — correct for the admission budget (the seat is freed before the next admission executes), but wrong for choosing which rank should run a new request, since the teardown still runs on that rank on the following iteration and the rank is therefore not idle. Under the overlap scheduler the park phase is staggered across ranks, so whichever rank most recently parked reported the lightest load, repeatedly won placement, and the resulting DP imbalance showed up as the context-phase throughput regression.
  • Fix: Split the two views explicitly: num_active_requests/num_active_tokens stay the admission view and remain the only thing tested against expected_num_active_requests, while new all_ranks_placement_requests/all_ranks_placement_tokens add the retiring count back in (with the retiring token mass estimated from the rank's own mean live-request size, since only the count is transported in RankState) and become the heap keys. HeapVal gains a separate num_admitted field so the per-rank cap is still tested against genuinely admitted work. Both placement arguments are keyword-only and default to the existing vectors, so the wider view affects ordering only — it can never make a rank ineligible — and omitting them reproduces the previous behaviour exactly.
  • Perf metric: output_token_throughput (higher-is-better)
  • Bad perf: 5.63
  • Good perf: 7.13
  • Perf after fix: (unknown)
  • Automated fix generated by repair-bot

Test plan

  • Verify fix on the same GPU type as the original failure
  • Check for regressions in related tests

Dev Engineer Review

DefaultADPRouter now separates admission metrics from placement metrics. Retiring requests contribute estimated token load during heap ordering, while admission eligibility uses only admitted work. HeapVal adds num_admitted. Optional placement arguments preserve existing behavior when omitted. No supplied review findings or post-fix performance result are available.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/adp_router.py: Verify that retiring requests affect placement ordering without affecting admission budgets. Verify that omitted placement arguments preserve prior behavior and that HeapVal.num_admitted remains consistent with rank eligibility.

Walkthrough

The ADP router now separates placement load from admission counts. Retiring requests contribute to placement ordering, while admission eligibility continues to use active admitted requests.

Changes

ADP Router Metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Placement and admission metric separation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/adp_router.py
HeapVal stores admitted counts separately. DefaultADPRouter computes retiring-inclusive placement request and token totals and passes them to balancing.
Heap balancing and eligibility
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/adp_router.py
_balance_requests_across_ranks uses placement arrays for heap ordering and admitted counts for eligibility and heap reinsertion.

Add a regression test for retiring-inclusive placement.

This change makes retiring requests affect heap ordering while keeping admission eligibility based on active admitted requests. Add a DefaultADPRouter unit test under tests/ with equal live load on two ranks and a retiring request on one rank. Assert that placement selects the rank without the retiree and that the retiring request does not consume the admission cap. Without this test, a future change can reintroduce the overlap-scheduler imbalance or make retiring work block admission.

As per path instructions: review material observable TensorRT-LLM behavior for meaningful tests.

#19424 measures this config in three arms: #18457 improves it (6.00 -> 6.20 req/s). The regression traces to #18346, which removed the forced disable_overlap_scheduler on the ctx_only path. The binding constraint is closed-loop concurrency under a 3-iteration permit round-trip -- both overlap-on arms use only 2.67 of 4 available ctx slots per iteration, so there is no DP imbalance to correct. Note also that GENERATION_TO_COMPLETE is outside the schedulable range (no_schedule_after_state, strict <), so a retiring request adds no forward-pass load for the placement key to account for. Suggest closing; the real lever is residency, tracked on nvbug 6778910.
