Find the balance point where you're compute-bound (not memory-bound) at the smallest tile count. + +5. **Traversal Order (Snake/Zig-Zag)**: For MatMul with multiple tiles, a snake pattern reuses the LHS or RHS strip between consecutive tiles, reducing slow-memory loads. diff --git a/solution/agent/requirements.txt b/solution/agent/requirements.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e151155 --- /dev/null +++ b/solution/agent/requirements.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +google-genai>=1.0.0 diff --git a/solution/agent/scheduler.py b/solution/agent/scheduler.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..137a281 --- /dev/null +++ b/solution/agent/scheduler.py @@ -0,0 +1,453 @@ +""" +Local scheduler: baseline generation + greedy optimization pipeline. + +This runs entirely locally (no API calls) and produces a valid, optimized +schedule that the agent can then try to improve further with Gemini. +""" + +from __future__ import annotations + +import math +from copy import deepcopy +from typing import Optional + +from evaluator import ( + Granularity, + Op, + Problem, + Solution, + SubgraphDef, + Tensor, + check_oom, + compute_subgraph_latency, + compute_working_set, + evaluate, + get_graph_inputs, + get_graph_outputs, + topological_sort, + _k_full_for_op, + _output_tensor_for_subgraph, +) + + +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# Baseline: one op per subgraph, native granularity, no retention +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +def build_baseline(problem: Problem) -> Solution: + """ + Trivially correct schedule: one subgraph per op in topological order, + native granularity, no retained tensors. + """ + topo_order = topological_sort(problem) + native_w, native_h = problem.native_granularity + subgraphs: list[SubgraphDef] = [] + + for op_idx in topo_order: + op = problem.ops[op_idx] + + # Determine k for this subgraph + if op.op_type == "MatMul": + k_full = _k_full_for_op(op, problem) + else: + k_full = 1 + + gran = Granularity(native_w, native_h, k_full) + + # Check OOM; if fails, try split-k + if not check_oom([op_idx], gran, problem): + gran = _find_safe_k([op_idx], Granularity(native_w, native_h, k_full), problem, set()) + if gran is None: + # Try smaller spatial tiles too + gran = _find_safe_granularity([op_idx], problem, set()) + if gran is None: + # Last resort: use smallest possible + gran = Granularity(native_w, native_h, 1) + + latency = compute_subgraph_latency([op_idx], gran, problem) + sg = SubgraphDef( + ops=[op_idx], + granularity=gran, + tensors_to_retain=[], + traversal_order=None, + subgraph_latency=latency, + ) + subgraphs.append(sg) + + return Solution(subgraphs=subgraphs) + + +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# Greedy chain fusion +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +def _can_fuse( + ops_a: list[int], + ops_b: list[int], + gran: Granularity, + problem: Problem, + retained: set[int], +) -> bool: + """Check whether merging two consecutive subgraphs avoids OOM.""" + merged = ops_a + ops_b + return check_oom(merged, gran, problem, retained) + + +def _find_safe_k( + ops: list[int], + gran: Granularity, + problem: Problem, + retained: set[int], +) -> Optional[Granularity]: + """ + Find the largest power-of-2 k that keeps the working set in budget. + Returns None if even k=1 OOMs. + """ + native_w, native_h = problem.native_granularity + + # Only applies when there's a MatMul in ops + matmul_ops = [op_idx for op_idx in ops if problem.ops[op_idx].op_type == "MatMul"] + if not matmul_ops: + return gran + + k_full = _k_full_for_op(problem.ops[matmul_ops[0]], problem) + + # Try k values from k_full down to 1 (powers of 2) + k_candidates = [] + k = k_full + while k >= 1: + k_candidates.append(k) + if k == 1: + break + k = k // 2 + + for k_try in k_candidates: + g = Granularity(gran.w, gran.h, k_try) + if check_oom(ops, g, problem, retained): + return g + + return None + + +def _find_safe_granularity( + ops: list[int], + problem: Problem, + retained: set[int], +) -> Optional[Granularity]: + """ + Search (w, h, k) space to find a granularity that fits in fast memory + and minimises latency. + """ + native_w, native_h = problem.native_granularity + + # Determine output tensor for tile count + out_tensor = _output_tensor_for_subgraph(ops, problem) + W_out = out_tensor.width + H_out = out_tensor.height + + matmul_ops = [op_idx for op_idx in ops if problem.ops[op_idx].op_type == "MatMul"] + if matmul_ops: + k_full = _k_full_for_op(problem.ops[matmul_ops[0]], problem) + else: + k_full = 1 + + # Candidate spatial dimensions: powers of 2 from 1 up to tensor dims. + # Include sub-native values (hardware pads — same compute cost but smaller + # working set).

The cost is already accounted for by the increased number of spatial tiles. Specifically: + +- The `base_cost` is the cost for **one execution at native granularity** +- When granularity equals native: `base_cost` is the cost per tile, and `num_spatial_tiles` tiles cover the full tensor +- When granularity is smaller: `base_cost` is still the cost per tile (hardware pads), but more tiles are needed + +**Reduction scaling**: For MatMul, each k-step costs `base_cost * (k / K_full)` where `K_full` is the op's full reduction dimension. Verified against Example 5B: `k=32`, `K_full=128`, `base_cost=2000` per op, compute per step = `2000*(32/128) + 2000*(32/128) = 1000`. + +For Pointwise, k is irrelevant — full `base_cost` per step. Verified against Example 1C: `base_cost=1000+100=1100` per step, 4 tiles. + +**Spatial padding**: if `w < native_w` or `h < native_h`, you still pay full `base_cost` per step (hardware pads), but need more spatial tiles to cover the tensor. + +**Summary**: +``` +For each op in subgraph: + if op.op_type == "MatMul": + compute_cost = op.base_cost * (k / K_full_for_this_op) + else: # Pointwise + compute_cost = op.base_cost + +compute_time_per_step = sum(compute_cost for each op) +``` + +Where `K_full_for_this_op` is the inner/reduction dimension of that specific MatMul (the width of the LHS input = height of the RHS input... actually: for MatMul with inputs [LHS, RHS], `K_full = LHS.width = RHS.height`). + +Actually, let me re-examine. From the granularity definition: +- LHS input slice: width `k`, height `h` +- RHS input slice: width `w`, height `k` +- Output slice: width `w`, height `h` + +So the full LHS tensor has width = `K_full` and height = `H_out`. The full RHS tensor has width = `W_out` and height = `K_full`. Therefore `K_full` = LHS.width = RHS.height. + +#### Memory Time (Per Step) + +For each execution step, we must account for data loaded from slow memory and data evicted to slow memory. + +**Inputs loaded from slow memory**: +- For each **boundary input** tensor of the subgraph (not ephemeral): + - Compute the slice size based on the op type and granularity + - If the tensor is already resident in fast memory (retained from previous subgraph, or already loaded in a previous step of the same subgraph via intra-subgraph reuse), it costs 0 + - Otherwise: `slice_size / slow_memory_bandwidth` + +**Slice sizes** (for one spatial tile + one k-step): +- Pointwise input: `w * h` elements +- Pointwise output: `w * h` elements +- MatMul LHS input: `h * k` elements +- MatMul RHS input: `k * w` elements +- MatMul output: `w * h` elements + +**Outputs evicted to slow memory**: +- Output slices that are NOT retained and are NOT ephemeral must be evicted +- Eviction happens on the **last k-step** for that spatial tile (for split-K, eviction only on final accumulation step) +- Actually, from Example 5B, eviction of Tensor4 only happens on step 4 (the last k-step). In the non-split-K case, every spatial tile evicts. + +**Memory time per step**: +``` +memory_time = (bytes_loaded_from_slow + bytes_evicted_to_slow) / slow_memory_bandwidth +``` + +**Intra-subgraph data reuse (traversal order)**: When processing spatial tiles, input strips may be reused across adjacent tiles.

Identify **boundary outputs**: tensors produced by the subgraph that are NOT consumed within the subgraph, OR that are listed in `tensors_to_retain` +3. Identify **ephemeral tensors**: produced and consumed within the same subgraph -- these consume 0 capacity +4. Add **retained tensors** from previous subgraphs that are still in fast memory + +For each boundary tensor, compute its slice size: + +| Tensor Role | Op Type | Slice Size | +|-------------|---------|------------| +| Pointwise input | Pointwise | `w * h` | +| Pointwise output | Pointwise | `w * h` | +| MatMul LHS input | MatMul | `h * k` | +| MatMul RHS input | MatMul | `k * w` | +| MatMul output | MatMul | `w * h` | + +**Special case for output-stationary (split-K)**: The output/accumulator tensor (`w * h`) is held resident across all k-steps. Input strips are streamed. + +**Working set**: +``` +working_set = sum(slice_size for each boundary input and output tensor that must + be simultaneously resident in fast memory during one step) + + sum(size of retained tensors from previous subgraphs) +``` + +**OOM check**: `working_set <= fast_memory_capacity` + +### Retained Tensors from Previous Subgraphs + +When a previous subgraph retains a tensor, that tensor occupies fast memory at its **full size** (not a slice), because it was computed across all spatial tiles and remains fully materialized. + +Wait -- actually, retained tensors are computed slice-by-slice but the full tensor accumulates. Let me reconsider. + +Actually, from Example 3C: Tensor1 (128x128 = 16384) is retained. The working set of subgraph 1 must include this full tensor. The subgraph 1 has Tensor1 as input (already resident), processes Op1 and Op2 producing Tensor3. Working set = Tensor1 (16384, resident) + Tensor2 (ephemeral, 0) + Tensor3 output (16384) = 32768 <= 50000. This works. + +But wait -- if the subgraph uses a granularity smaller than the tensor, only a slice of the retained tensor is needed per step. The retained tensor is at full size in fast memory though (it was fully computed by the prior subgraph at its granularity). + +Actually, the problem says retained tensors stay in fast memory at full size. The working set calculation must include: +- The **full size** of all currently retained tensors +- Plus the **slice sizes** of all boundary inputs/outputs needed for the current execution step + +Correction: from Example 5B, the accumulator Tensor4 (128x128 = 16384) and Tensor0 (128x128 = 16384) are resident, plus Tensor1 strip (128x32 = 4096) and Tensor2 strip (32x128 = 4096). Working set = 16384 + 16384 + 4096 + 4096 = 40960. That matches. + +But Tensor0 is a full input that gets loaded in step 1 and reused. It's NOT a retained tensor from a previous subgraph -- it's loaded in this subgraph. Tensor4 is the accumulator (output). So the working set includes: +- Full-size inputs that are resident (loaded once, reused): full tensor size +- Streamed input strips: slice size +- Output/accumulator: slice size (w * h) + +This is more nuanced. The working set depends on which step we're computing and the traversal order. The **maximum** working set across all steps must fit. + +For the OOM check, we need the **worst-case step** (typically the first step, where the most data is loaded fresh). + +--- + +## Memory Hierarchy Summary + +| Tier | Capacity | Access Cost | Persistence | +|------|----------|-------------|-------------| +| Slow Memory | Infinite | `size / bandwidth` per transfer | Permanent (graph I/O lives here) | +| Fast Memory | `fast_memory_capacity` elements | 0 (instant access) | Explicit: evicted unless retained | +| Ephemeral | 0 (no capacity consumed) | 0 | Intra-subgraph only | + +--- + +## Key Formulas Reference + +### Tensor Slice Sizes + +For granularity `(w, h, k)`: + +| Role | Width | Height | Size | +|------|-------|--------|------| +| Output (any op) | w | h | w * h | +| Pointwise input | w | h | w * h | +| MatMul LHS input | k | h | h * k | +| MatMul RHS input | w | k | k * w | + +### Number of Tiles + +``` +num_tiles_w = ceil(output_tensor.width / w) +num_tiles_h = ceil(output_tensor.height / h) +num_spatial_tiles = num_tiles_w * num_tiles_h +``` + +### Number of K-Steps + +``` +For MatMul: num_k_steps = ceil(K_full / k) +For Pointwise-only subgraphs: num_k_steps = 1 +``` + +### Compute Cost Per Step + +``` +compute_per_step = sum for each op in subgraph: + if MatMul: base_cost * min(k, K_full_remaining) / native_k + if Pointwise: base_cost +``` + +Actually, let me be more precise.

For MatMul, the first input + tensor is LHS and the second is RHS (order matters for granularity slicing). +- **FR-004**: Handle benchmarks with up to 100+ operations and 160+ tensors (benchmark 17 has + 160 tensors and 95+ ops) within a single invocation. + +### DAG Validation + +- **FR-005**: Validate that the operation graph is a DAG (no cycles). Reject cyclic inputs as + malformed. +- **FR-006**: Verify that every operation in the schedule appears in at least one subgraph, and + that every operation is covered exactly (duplicate coverage is permitted only via explicit + recomputation paths). + +### Subgraph Grouping + +- **FR-007**: Group one or more operations into a subgraph. Operations in a subgraph must form + a connected, topologically ordered chain (no cross-subgraph data dependencies within the + group that would require intermediate materialization in fast memory). +- **FR-008**: Support recomputation: an operation may appear in more than one subgraph, causing + it to be executed multiple times to avoid materializing its output in slow memory. +- **FR-009**: Support selective residency: after a subgraph completes, any subset of its output + tensors may be listed in `tensors_to_retain` to remain in fast memory for subsequent + subgraphs; all others are evicted to slow memory. + +### Granularity Selection + +- **FR-010**: For each subgraph, choose a granularity `[w, h, k]` where `w` and `h` are + positive integers and `k` is a positive integer. +- **FR-011**: Enforce that `w` and `h` divide the output tensor dimensions without remainder, + OR correctly model the hardware padding cost when `w` or `h` is smaller than + `native_granularity` dimensions. +- **FR-012**: For MatMul in a subgraph, the LHS input slice is `(h x k)` and the RHS input + slice is `(k x w)`. For Pointwise, `k` is treated as 1. +- **FR-013**: Implement split-K: when `k` is less than the full reduction dimension of a + MatMul, the scheduler must model output-stationary accumulation over multiple k-steps, with + the accumulator held in fast memory between steps. + +### Working-Set Constraint + +- **FR-014**: For every subgraph, calculate the working set as the sum of all input slices plus + the output slice required simultaneously in fast memory during one execution iteration. This + must not exceed `fast_memory_capacity`. +- **FR-015**: Tensors listed in `tensors_to_retain` from a previous subgraph count against the + working-set budget of the next subgraph (they are already resident). +- **FR-016**: Intermediate tensors that are ephemeral within a subgraph (produced and consumed + within the same subgraph) consume zero fast-memory capacity and zero transfer time. +- **FR-017**: Reject (or avoid generating) any granularity choice that causes an OOM — i.e., + working set > `fast_memory_capacity`. + +### Latency Calculation + +- **FR-018**: For each subgraph, calculate `ComputeTime` as the sum of `base_cost` values of + all grouped operations, multiplied by the number of spatial tiles (determined by how many + times `[w, h]` tiles the output tensor) and the number of k-steps. +- **FR-019**: Compute hardware padding: if `w < native_granularity.width` or + `h < native_granularity.height`, the compute cost per tile is the same as for the full + native tile (no fractional compute savings in spatial dimensions). Reduction dimension `k` + is streamed and does scale proportionally. +- **FR-020**: For each subgraph execution step, calculate `MemoryTime` as: + `(bytes_transferred_in + bytes_transferred_out) / slow_memory_bandwidth`. Bytes transferred + are only for tensors loaded from slow memory (not for retained or ephemeral tensors) and + tensors evicted to slow memory. +- **FR-021**: For each execution step, subgraph latency contribution is + `max(ComputeTime_per_step, MemoryTime_per_step)`. The total subgraph latency is the sum + across all steps (all spatial tiles x k-steps). +- **FR-022**: The caller-provided `subgraph_latencies` list in the output JSON must match the + latency calculated by `Evaluate()` in `mlsys.h`. Solutions with incorrect latency values + are invalid. + +### Traversal Order + +- **FR-023**: Support specifying a custom traversal order (permutation of tile indices) per + subgraph. The default (null) is raster/row-major order. +- **FR-024**: Implement traversal-order optimization for MatMul: a snake/zig-zag pattern + reduces the number of input-strip reloads (revisits) by keeping a row or column strip + resident across adjacent tiles. +- **FR-025**: The traversal order must be a valid permutation of `[0, num_tiles)`. + +### Output Serialization + +- **FR-026**: Produce a valid JSON output matching the `Solution` struct: parallel lists for + `subgraphs`, `granularities`, `tensors_to_retain`, `traversal_orders`, + `subgraph_latencies`. +- **FR-027**: `tensors_to_retain[k]` lists tensor indices (not op indices) to keep resident + after subgraph `k`. Only inter-subgraph retention needs to be listed; intra-subgraph reuse + is managed by the hardware automatically. + +### Benchmarking and Evaluation + +- **FR-028**: Expose a benchmark runner that, given a problem JSON and a solution JSON, + invokes `Evaluate()` and reports the total latency and any constraint violations. +- **FR-029**: Produce solutions for all five provided benchmark files: + `mlsys-2026-1.json`, `mlsys-2026-5.json`, `mlsys-2026-9.json`, + `mlsys-2026-13.json`, `mlsys-2026-17.json`. + +--- + +## Non-Functional Requirements + +- **NFR-001 Correctness**: The solution must pass `Evaluate()` with zero constraint violations + (no OOM, no uncovered operations, no invalid traversal orders). +- **NFR-002 Optimality direction**: The scheduler must produce lower total latency than a naive + baseline (all-separate subgraphs, full native granularity, no retention). The target is to + exploit grouping, split-K, residency, and traversal order to the maximum extent feasible + within the time budget. +- **NFR-003 Runtime**: The scheduler must produce a complete, valid solution for each benchmark + within a practical time limit (target: under 5 minutes per benchmark on a standard developer + machine). Benchmarks have up to 100 operations; exhaustive search is infeasible. +- **NFR-004 Reproducibility**: Given the same input JSON, the scheduler must produce the same + output JSON deterministically (no random seeding without explicit control). +- **NFR-005 Testability**: The implementation must include unit tests for latency calculation, + working-set calculation, and granularity validation against the five worked examples in + PROBLEM.md. +- **NFR-006 Language**: Dual-track implementation — Rust (Track A: compiled binary) and Python + (Track B: Gemini agent) using typed data structures aligned with `mlsys.h`. The `mlsys.h` + C++ header is the authoritative interface contract. + +--- + +## Hidden Requirements (Discovered through critical evaluation) + +- **HR-001 Topological sort**: The scheduler needs a topological sort of the DAG to determine + valid subgraph orderings. This is not stated but required for correctness. +- **HR-002 Working-set calculator**: A standalone function that, given a subgraph definition + and a set of currently-resident tensors, computes the working set size and checks OOM. This + is needed before the optimizer can safely propose any grouping. +- **HR-003 Reachability / dominance analysis**: To decide which operations can be grouped, + the scheduler needs to know whether all inputs to a group are either graph inputs, ephemeral + within the group, or already resident in fast memory. +- **HR-004 Latency model validation**: The five examples in PROBLEM.md provide ground truth + latency values. These must be used as regression tests to verify the latency model + implementation before any optimizer runs. +- **HR-005 Baseline solution generator**: A trivially correct schedule (one op per subgraph, + full native granularity, no retention) is needed as a correctness baseline and a performance + lower bound for benchmarking. +- **HR-006 Solution file writer**: Serializing the `Solution` struct to the required JSON + output format. + +--- + +## Constraints + +- **Time**: Contest deadline (exact duration unspecified — assumed to be a multi-hour to + multi-day hackathon based on problem complexity) +- **Technology**: `mlsys.h` defines the authoritative C++ data structures; the evaluator + (`Evaluate()`) is the ground truth. The Python implementation must produce JSON that + `ReadSolution()` and `Evaluate()` can consume. +- **Memory hierarchy**: Three tiers only — slow memory (infinite, bandwidth-limited), fast + memory (finite capacity, zero-latency access), and ephemeral (zero capacity, zero latency, + intra-subgraph only). +- **Op types**: Only `"MatMul"` and `"Pointwise"` are defined in the benchmark files. +- **Granularity**: `native_granularity` is always `[128, 128]` across all benchmarks. `k` + must divide the MatMul reduction dimension evenly (or the model must handle remainder steps). +- **Benchmark scale**: Graphs range from 2 ops / 3 tensors (example) to 95+ ops / 160+ + tensors (benchmark 17).

Highest + RICE because effort is minimal and impact is total. + +- **F-01 / F-11 (Parser + Serializer)**: Without these two, nothing can be evaluated. Both + are low-effort, deterministic I/O tasks with 100% confidence and total reach. + +- **F-02 (Latency model)**: The roofline formula (`max(compute, memory)` per step, summed + over steps) is fully specified in the problem with five concrete examples to validate + against. 4 hours covers implementation + test-case verification. + +- **F-03 (Working-set calculator)**: Prevents OOM, which is the only hard constraint in the + problem. Any schedule that violates this is invalid. Must be implemented before any + optimizer attempts subgraph fusion. + +- **F-05 (Op grouping)**: The single largest latency lever. Example 1B vs 1A shows a 2x + improvement just from grouping two pointwise ops. Example 3C (selective residency) achieves + a 60% reduction. The fundamental correctness requirement is that grouped ops form a valid + chain respecting the DAG. + +- **F-07 (Tensor retention)**: Keeping tensors resident across subgraphs eliminates an + entire load-evict cycle. Example 3C shows Subgraph 0 latency dropping from 3,276.8 to + 1,638.4 by retaining Tensor 1. High impact, medium effort. + +- **F-08 (Split-K)**: Required for benchmark 5 (chained MatMuls with tight memory). Without + split-K, many fused MatMul subgraphs OOM. Example 5B demonstrates the technique. + +- **F-09 (Recomputation)**: Useful specifically when a tensor is consumed by two branches + (diamond graphs). Example 3B and 3C show the recomputation trade-off. Benchmark 1 has + diamond topology. 80% confidence because the benefit vs. cost depends heavily on graph + structure. + +- **F-06 (Granularity search)**: Choosing sub-native spatial granularity can switch the + bottleneck from memory-bound to compute-bound, sometimes reducing total latency (Example + 1C). The search space grows quadratically in divisors of tensor dimensions; a heuristic + approach (try powers of 2, choose minimum working-set granularity) is needed. + +- **F-15 (Optimizer strategy)**: The hardest feature with the most uncertain payoff. A greedy + bottom-up fusion pass is the MVP. DP or beam search could squeeze more performance but at + substantial implementation cost. Scored 80% confidence at 16 hours — this is the "Big Bet." + +- **F-10 (Traversal order)**: Example 4B shows only ~8% improvement over raster order. + Useful but lowest priority given the small marginal gain. diff --git a/solution/scripts/test-e2e.sh b/solution/scripts/test-e2e.sh new file mode 100755 index 0000000..70d44ca --- /dev/null +++ b/solution/scripts/test-e2e.sh @@ -0,0 +1,196 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env bash +# E2E Happy Path Test Script +# Tests both Track A (Rust) and Track B (Python) against all 5 benchmarks. +# Run from the project root: bash solution/scripts/test-e2e.sh + +set -uo pipefail + +PROJECT_ROOT="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")/../.." && pwd)" +RUST_DIR="$PROJECT_ROOT/solution/backend/rust" +AGENT_DIR="$PROJECT_ROOT/solution/agent" +BENCH_DIR="$PROJECT_ROOT/problem/benchmarks" +TMP_DIR="/tmp/mlsys-e2e-$$" + +cleanup() { rm -rf "$TMP_DIR"; } +trap cleanup EXIT INT TERM + +mkdir -p "$TMP_DIR" + +PASS=0 +FAIL=0 + +pass() { echo "PASS: $1"; ((PASS++)); } +fail() { echo "FAIL: $1"; ((FAIL++)); } + +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# Helper: validate a solution JSON +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +validate_solution() { + local json_file="$1" + local bench_id="$2" + local track="$3" + + if [[ ! -f "$json_file" ]]; then + fail "$track benchmark $bench_id: output file not found" + return + fi + + uv run python - "$json_file" <<'PYEOF' 2>&1 +import json, sys + +try: + with open(sys.argv[1]) as f: + s = json.load(f) +except Exception as e: + print(f'JSON parse error: {e}', file=sys.stderr) + sys.exit(1) + +# Check required keys +for key in ('subgraphs', 'granularities', 'tensors_to_retain', 'subgraph_latencies'): + if key not in s: + print(f'Missing key: {key}', file=sys.stderr) + sys.exit(2) + +subgraphs = s['subgraphs'] +latencies = s['subgraph_latencies'] +granularities = s['granularities'] + +if len(subgraphs) == 0: + print('No subgraphs', file=sys.stderr) + sys.exit(3) + +# All latencies non-negative +for i, lat in enumerate(latencies): + if lat < 0: + print(f'Negative latency at index {i}: {lat}', file=sys.stderr) + sys.exit(4) + +# All granularities positive +for i, g in enumerate(granularities): + if any(x <= 0 for x in g): + print(f'Invalid granularity at index {i}: {g}', file=sys.stderr) + sys.exit(5) + +# Check all ops are covered (allow recomputation — ops may appear in multiple subgraphs) +all_ops = set() +for sg in subgraphs: + for op in sg: + all_ops.add(op) + +total = sum(latencies) +print(f'subgraphs={len(subgraphs)} total_latency={total:.2f} ops_covered={sorted(all_ops)}') +PYEOF + return $?
