[None][test] Enable warmup request for disagg e2e and ctx_only perf sanity lanes

[chenfeiz0326]

What this changes

benchmark_serving issues an initial single-prompt test request before the measured
run and excludes it from the reported metrics. --no-test-input suppresses it. This
PR stops suppressing it for e2e and ctx_only disagg lanes, which makes that
request a free warmup:

• e2e — the KV cache transceiver sets up lazily (ZMQ mesh + NIXL metadata
  registration) on the first ctx→gen handover. Without a warmup that one-time cost
  lands inside the first measured request.
• ctx_only — the runner forces osl=1, so the first cold prefill lands directly
  in the headline TTFT.
• gen_only stays excluded, per [None][test] Revert the gen_only warmup probe and fix the per-iter device step time metric #18011: the extra handover leaves a stale
  mSenderFutures entry that the CTX worker then waits on.

The warmup request reuses input_requests[0], so it carries the lane's own ISL/OSL —
it is a representative request, not a synthetic one.

Three properties worth calling out for review:

1. warmup is a constructor argument, not a config key. Both config parsers hand
   the raw yaml client dict to ClientConfig, so a warmup: key would let any lane —
   including an aggregated one — enable warmup for itself. Since b_warmup is
   deliberately not a baseline match key, that would silently fork a lane's history
   with no visible config difference. Pinned by
   test_warmup_cannot_be_enabled_from_lane_config.
2. b_warmup records the EFFECTIVE value. to_cmd dispatches to three builders
   and only the default benchmark_serving one has a test request to suppress, so
   warmup is forced off for use_nv_sa_benchmark and benchmark_client lanes. A
   b_warmup=True row for a run that never warmed up would be worse than no row —
   it would invite a later investigator to rule warmup out as a cause it never had.
   Same convention as b_disable_overlap_scheduler.
3. b_warmup is not a match key. Making it one would fork every warmed lane into
   a second tracked series and hide the improvement in its own history — a permanent
   cost to paper over a one-time step.

Measurement

GB300 disagg e2e lanes on aws_cmh, ordered by node count ascending.

Design. The arm is the repo, not a line flipped at runtime: warm reps run a
pristine checkout, cold reps the same commit patched on exactly one line. Both arms
install the byte-identical wheel from a single prebuilt path, so the arm delta is
delivered entirely through the test tree — the wheel cannot be a confounder. Both arms
of a pair run inside one allocation on the same nodes, because GB300 node variance
is large enough to fabricate a double-digit delta. Every generated launch script was
gated byte-identical modulo the arm's repo path and the rep directory. Arm order is
counterbalanced across reps (odd reps warm-first, even cold-first). Per-rank
node-local JIT/cubin cache dirs are injected on both worker env lines.

A rep counts only if it measured something. rc=0 is not evidence — a previous
campaign produced 15 lanes of rc=0 that measured nothing (an empty pytest command,
eval "" returning 0). A rep is admitted only with a real result block, a non-zero
request count, and the arm's behavioural tell present:
Starting initial single prompt test run for warm, Skipping initial test run for
cold. 40 runs were admitted and all 40 carry the right tell — every warm run has
exactly one Starting initial single prompt test run line and no Skipping line, and
every cold run the inverse; zero mismatches. Both arms report exactly the configured
request count (concurrency × iterations: 10, 640, 10240, 15360, 20480), which is
the direct confirmation that the warmup request is excluded from the reported metrics
rather than quietly inflating the warm arm's request count.

Coverage. 40 admitted runs forming 19 within-allocation pairs, at least one on
every one of the 10 lanes, plus 2 valid arms whose partner did not fit inside the
allocation (e09 rep3 warm, e10 rep1 warm) and which are therefore reported with their
numbers but never differenced. Per-lane pair counts: e01 1, e02 2, e03 3,
e05 3, e06 3, e07 2, e08 1, e09 2, e10 1, e11 1. Every lane's every rep appears in the tables
below, including the ones that measured nothing — a campaign that only lists its
successful reps is not auditable.

The effect has a measured size: a one-time ~3–7 s, not a percentage

On the con1 lanes there are 10 requests, so P99 TTFT is effectively the single
cold request while median TTFT is a steady-state request. Reading those two
separately shows exactly what the warmup removes:

Every pair on those lanes is listed — nothing is selected:

lane/rep	P99 TTFT warm	P99 TTFT cold	TTFT saved	duration saved	duration delta
e02 rep2	1.84 s	5.34 s	3.50 s	2.95 s	−6.90%
e02 rep3	1.40 s	4.34 s	2.93 s	6.13 s	−13.61%
e03 rep1	20.04 s	24.45 s	4.40 s	1.95 s	−0.51%
e03 rep2	19.66 s	26.19 s	6.53 s	10.65 s	−2.74%
e03 rep3	19.74 s	26.08 s	6.34 s	4.44 s	−1.14%
e05 rep1	1.50 s	5.82 s	4.32 s	4.50 s	−16.64%
e05 rep2	1.16 s	7.88 s	6.72 s	7.28 s	−24.26%
e05 rep3	1.21 s	7.51 s	6.30 s	7.09 s	−23.76%
e06 rep1	1.33 s	5.51 s	4.17 s	4.89 s	−16.77%
e06 rep2	1.40 s	5.65 s	4.25 s	4.39 s	−15.18%
e06 rep3	1.46 s	5.50 s	4.04 s	5.05 s	−17.37%
e09 rep1	1.83 s	5.11 s	3.28 s	4.83 s	−9.71%
e09 rep2	1.66 s	5.25 s	3.60 s	2.69 s	−5.67%

The cold arm's first request pays 3–7 s that the warm arm's does not, in all 13
pairs, and the whole-run duration saving is the same few seconds — the benefit is
the first request and nothing else, exactly as the mechanism predicts. (The two
columns agree to within a couple of seconds rather than exactly; on a 30 s run the
absolute run-to-run spread is itself of that order, so read them as the same quantity
measured twice, not as an identity.) Warm P99 TTFT lands near the lane's own median
TTFT, so after warmup the first request is no longer special — which is the whole
claim.

This single constant explains every lane, across a 100× range of run lengths.
Relative benefit is setup_cost / duration, so the same 1–7 s appears as:

lane	requests	cold duration	duration delta, per rep	seconds saved, per rep
e05	10	29.0 s	−16.64% / −24.26% / −23.76%	4.50 / 7.28 / 7.09 s
e06	10	29.1 s	−16.77% / −15.18% / −17.37%	4.89 / 4.39 / 5.05 s
e02	10	43.9 s	−6.90% / −13.61%	2.95 / 6.13 s
e09	10	48.6 s	−9.71% / −5.67%	4.83 / 2.69 s
e03	10	386.9 s	−0.51% / −2.74% / −1.14%	1.95 / 10.65 / 4.44 s
e01	15360	238.6 s	−0.50%	1.20 s
e11	20480	1981.6 s	−0.06%	1.23 s
e08	10240	3110.3 s	+0.07%	−2.03 s
e10	640	5845.0 s	−0.10%	5.66 s
e07	20480	586.5 s	+26.30% / +6.12%	−143.12 / −38.47 s

The right-hand column is the same 1–7 s in every row but e07's — which is exactly why
e07 is excluded below on arithmetic rather than on taste. All 17 non-e07 pairs sit
within 11 s of zero net change (16 of them within 8 s; the one at 10.65 s is e03
rep2, a 389 s 128k-prefill lane whose own run-to-run spread is several seconds). A
percentage figure
from this PR is therefore only meaningful together with the lane's duration: −24% and
−0.06% are the same effect measured on a 30-second and a 1981-second run. Quote the
seconds, not the percent.

Where the benefit is, and where it is structurally invisible

• Short lanes are where it matters and where it is measurable: 16–24% on the
  ~30 s lanes, reproduced across 3 independent allocations each with tight spread
  (e06: −16.77 / −15.18 / −17.37%).
• Long and high-concurrency lanes are no-regression controls, not measurements.
  A fixed few seconds spread over thousands of requests is below 0.1% by
  construction, so these lanes cannot show the benefit — they are here to answer the
  question a reviewer should actually ask: does adding a request to every e2e lane
  cost anything at scale? A null is the pass condition, and e01 delivers the
  cleanest form of it: 15360 requests, only 2% of each request's life spent waiting
  for admission, duration −0.50%, throughput +0.50%.
  One number on that lane deserves pre-empting rather than being found: e01's median
  TTFT reads +9.51% in the warm arm. In absolute terms that is 915 ms → 1002 ms, i.e.
  +87 ms on a request whose median end-to-end latency is 43.6 s — 0.2% of the
  request. It comes from a single pair, on the lane whose TTFT is 2% of E2EL, while the
  two aggregate metrics that actually integrate over all 15360 requests both moved the
  good way. I am not claiming it is an improvement or that it is provably noise at
  n=1; I am claiming it is too small a slice of the request to bear weight, and that
  duration and throughput are the right readouts on a lane this long.

One lane is excluded, on a stated criterion

e07 (glm-5, con4096, 20480 requests) reports duration +26.30% (rep1) and
+6.12% (rep2). It is excluded from interpretation, and the reason is arithmetic
rather than taste: those deltas are −143 s and −38 s of wall time, while the
entire mechanism under test is worth 1–7 s and can touch 1 request in 20480.
Warmup cannot produce a 143-second swing in either direction, so whatever moved e07
is not warmup.

What did move is identifiable. Reading the arms side by side rather than the delta:

e07 rep1	warm	cold
duration	687.21 s	544.09 s
output throughput	30,517 tok/s	38,544 tok/s
median TPOT	14.76 ms	16.38 ms
mean TPOT	14.89 ms	16.48 ms

The cold arm delivered 26% more aggregate throughput while being worse per
token. That combination has one shape behind it — fuller batches — and no single
excluded request can change batch occupancy. Consistent with this, e07's median TTFT
is 88 s against a median E2EL of 105 s: 84% of each request's lifetime is spent
before its first token (87% averaged over all four of its reps, which is the figure
the lane's table label carries), so its "TTFT" is admission delay, not prefill.

Both median_ttft_ms and median_e2el_ms are columns in every table below, so this
classification is recomputable from the published data — please check it rather than
take the labels' word for it. Applying the criterion uniformly (median TTFT / median E2EL > 50% with concurrency > 1) excludes e07, e08, e10 and e11 — including e08 (+0.07%) and e11
(−0.06%), whose near-perfect nulls would have flattered this PR. They are reported
in the tables and not leaned on. e01, at 2%, is not excluded and is the control quoted
above.

Reading the tables: two metrics that look like controls and are not

• Median ITL is not an independent decode control — it is TPOT rescaled.
  Across all 40 admitted runs, median ITL / median TPOT takes just two values:
  79.7–80.9 on every mtp3 lane (4 tokens/iter) and 39.6–40.0 on every mtp1
  lane (2 tokens/iter) — i.e. 20 × tokens-per-iteration, the stream_interval=20
  flush quantum. ITL times when a chunk of ~20 iterations is flushed to the client,
  not when a token is produced, so it carries no information TPOT does not, and a
  reader who treats it as a second, corroborating decode metric is double-counting
  one measurement. Median TPOT is the decode control, and it is flat: per-lane
  paired means run −0.50% to +0.31% across the eight non-excluded lanes, the
  largest single-rep excursion being 3.98% on a 10-request lane. Decode is
  unaffected, as expected for a change that only adds a request before the
  measurement window opens.
• Mean TPOT/ITL carries an artifact that makes this PR look worse than it is.
  Flagging it rather than leaving it to be found: on the con1 lanes mean TPOT reads
  +1.9% to +11.5% — warm apparently slower per token — while median TPOT on the
  very same pairs is flat (−2.1% to +1.6%). The cause is visible in the raw numbers:
  in the cold arm the stalled first request queues tokens during transceiver setup and
  then flushes them in a burst of near-zero inter-token gaps, so cold's mean TPOT is
  dragged below its own median (e05 rep1: cold mean 1.39 ms vs cold median
  1.86 ms). Removing that stall — the entire point of this PR — removes those low-side
  outliers with it, and the mean rises even though no token got slower. On the
  thousands-of-requests lanes, where one request cannot move a mean, the two statistics
  agree to within ~1 pp. Both columns are in the tables; quote the median.
• P99 ITL is noise on a 10-request lane and is reported for completeness only.

Only within-allocation comparisons are quoted

Reps of the same lane run in different allocations on different nodes, and GB300
node variance can fabricate a double-digit delta. So every headline is the paired
delta inside one allocation; no number above subtracts values from different
allocations. Pooled arm means appear in the tables as a secondary view only.

Because arm order is counterbalanced, whether order matters is tested the only way it
can be without reintroducing node variance: by comparing the paired delta across
reps of differing parity. On every lane with both parities the duration and
throughput deltas keep sign and rough magnitude, so the result is not an artifact of
arm order. Note this is deliberately not an arm × position 2×2 — those four cells
would come from two different allocations, so cell-minus-cell would measure node
assignment rather than position.

Scope and disclosure

• Models covered: deepseek-r1 and glm-5. The deepseek-v4-pro GB300 e2e lanes
  could not be run and are not reported. Their context worker is dep4 — 4 ranks on
  a single node — so one node must hold the entire 806 GiB checkpoint, against
  900 GiB of node RAM, and the ctx workers were OOM-killed at 99% of weight loading.
  The same job's tep8 gen workers, which spread the same weights over two nodes,
  loaded fine. This is a property of the model against the node, not of this PR, and
  widening the ctx parallelism would change the topology the CI case defines.
• e10 does pair, and an earlier version of this section said it could not. Recording
  the correction rather than quietly editing it: e10 (128k8k con64, 5 nodes) is the
  longest lane here, and its first two attempts produced only unpaired arms, so I argued
  from wall-clock arithmetic that it could not pair — first arm ≈ 2 h 06 m including
  install, second arm free-riding on that install, hence ≥ 1.9 × = 4 h 00 m 21 s
  against the batch partition's 4 h 00 m 00 s ceiling that non-privileged users can
  only decrease. A retry then completed both arms in one allocation in 3 h 59 m 24 s
  — inside the cap with 36 seconds of margin. The 1.9 × rule of thumb was simply too
  pessimistic for this lane; the estimate was an estimate, and the measurement overruled
  it. e10 therefore contributes one within-allocation pair (rep4: cold first, then
  warm, both arms' benchmark logs written inside that allocation's window and carrying
  opposite tells) plus one unpaired warm arm from an earlier attempt whose cold partner
  was skipped by the wrapper's insufficient-time guard (remain=1749s against
  budget=3780s) and so has no result block.
  This changes no conclusion above, because e10 is admission-dominated (91%: median TTFT
  525.4 s against median E2EL 577.7 s) and so is excluded by the stated criterion — a
  pair on this lane is reported, not interpreted. For what it is worth, and it is not load
  bearing, that pair is consistent with the rest: 5.66 s of duration saved on a 5845 s
  run (−0.10%) and 6.36 s off P99 TTFT, the same few seconds seen everywhere else.
  The four remaining
  glm-5 / deepseek-r1 9-node lanes (con512/con1024, dep32 gen) were not run: by the
  criterion above they would all classify as admission-dominated too, so they could show a
  regression but not the benefit — they would add table rows without adding conclusions that
  e01, e08 and e11 do not already carry.
  Wall clock also accounts for the other unpaired arm: e09 rep3's cold arm was
  skipped by the wrapper's own insufficient-time guard with remain=2268s against a
  budget=2280s — 12 seconds short. The guard did the right thing (a truncated arm is
  worse than a missing one), and e09 still contributes 2 complete pairs, both quoted above.
• ctx_only is covered by the code and unit tests but is not measured here. The
  intended ctx_only campaign produced no valid data, so no ctx_only numbers are
  claimed. The change there is the same one-line mechanism and rests on the osl=1
  argument above.
• The measured arms are at commit aba6242534 (this PR's pre-rebase commit), not
  the current head. The two are behaviourally identical for these lanes: the older
  code read warmup from the client config dict, the current code takes it as a
  constructor argument and ANDs it with not (benchmark_client or use_nv_sa_benchmark). All measured lane configs set use_nv_sa_benchmark: false
  and none sets benchmark_client, so self.warmup evaluates identically. Absolute
  numbers are on that base; the paired deltas are unaffected.

NO-REGRESSION CONTROL (nreq=15360, median TTFT = 2% of median E2EL): a fixed few-second cost spread over 15360 requests is <0.1% by construction, so this lane CANNOT show the benefit. It answers the reviewer's other question -- does adding one request per lane cost anything at scale? -- and a null IS the pass condition.

INFORMATIVE (nreq=10, median TTFT = 17% of median E2EL): one cold request is a large share of the window, so the one-time setup cost is directly visible -- compare P99 TTFT (the cold first request) against median TTFT (steady state).

Walkthrough

Performance sanity clients derive effective warmup from benchmark_mode. Warmup affects the initial benchmark request and persists as b_warmup. Disaggregated e2e and ctx_only clients enable warmup; gen_only, AgentX, and NV-SA clients do not.

Changes

Performance sanity warmup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Warmup configuration and benchmark execution tests/integration/defs/perf/test_perf_sanity.py	ClientConfig accepts constructor-controlled warmup, disables it for AgentX and NV-SA clients, omits --no-test-input when enabled, persists b_warmup, and derives warmup for e2e and ctx_only clients.
Warmup behavior validation tests/unittest/tools/test_perf_sanity_matching.py	Tests load the full module and verify warmup modes, client construction, request suppression, YAML handling, default behavior, database reporting, match keys, and disaggregated parser placement.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b4fd3

This change affects only warmup behavior in two performance-test lanes and does not alter production request handling. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; a minor type-annotation cleanup is still recommended.
