From cd33f83bad2f56092cb2e02205b3849bec3ab809 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Yu Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:40:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(pymllm): reduce scheduler CPU busy-loop from 100% to ~2% during decode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The scheduler event loop used poll(timeout=0) (non-blocking spin) between decode batches, burning 100% of a CPU core while waiting for new requests. Track decode state and use a 1ms poll timeout during active decode to yield the CPU core to the OS scheduler, dropping usage from 100% to ~2%. - Add _DECODE_POLL_TIMEOUT_MS constant (1ms) for configurable poll timeout - Track _in_decode state in event_loop based on ForwardMode - Forward brief_poll parameter through recv_requests → _recv_from_zmq - Apply same optimization to _recv_from_shared_queue path - Add unit tests, benchmark, and integration test Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 --- pymllm/orchestrator/scheduler_process.py | 47 ++- pymllm/tests/bench_cpu_busy_loop.py | 113 +++++++ pymllm/tests/integration_cpu_busy_loop.py | 275 +++++++++++++++++ pymllm/tests/test_scheduler_cpu_busy_loop.py | 302 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 728 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 pymllm/tests/bench_cpu_busy_loop.py create mode 100644 pymllm/tests/integration_cpu_busy_loop.py create mode 100644 pymllm/tests/test_scheduler_cpu_busy_loop.py diff --git a/pymllm/orchestrator/scheduler_process.py b/pymllm/orchestrator/scheduler_process.py index 3bc3466a..bc3a2322 100644 --- a/pymllm/orchestrator/scheduler_process.py +++ b/pymllm/orchestrator/scheduler_process.py @@ -55,6 +55,11 @@ _DEFAULT_MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS = 131072 _DEFAULT_MAX_NEW_TOKENS = 32768 +# Brief poll timeout (ms) used between decode batches to avoid 100% CPU spin. +# 1 ms is enough to yield the CPU core to the OS scheduler while adding +# negligible latency (decode steps typically take >1 ms on the GPU anyway). +_DECODE_POLL_TIMEOUT_MS = 1 + # ====================================================================== # IdleSleeper -- avoid busy-looping when no work is available @@ -482,20 +487,30 @@ def init_model(self) -> None: logger.info("In-process model runner initialised on GPU %d", self._gpu_id) def event_loop(self) -> None: - """Infinite scheduling loop.""" + """Infinite scheduling loop. + + When decode batches are active the loop would otherwise spin at + 100 % CPU doing non-blocking ZMQ polls between GPU forward passes. + We track whether the previous iteration ran a decode batch and, if + so, use a brief poll timeout (default 1 ms) in ``recv_requests`` + so the OS can schedule other work on this core. + """ logger.info( "SchedulerProcess event loop started (shared_queue=%s, transport=%s)", self._enable_shared_queue, self._tensor_transport_mode, ) + _in_decode = False while True: - self.recv_requests() + self.recv_requests(brief_poll=_in_decode) self.process_input_requests() batch = self.get_next_batch_to_run() if batch is not None: + _in_decode = not batch.forward_mode.is_extend() result = self.run_batch(batch) self.process_batch_result(batch, result) else: + _in_decode = False # No work available -- sleep until a new request arrives # on the ZMQ socket (or timeout).

Negative values would cause zmq.Poller.poll() to block indefinitely instead of yielding briefly.
