perf(pt): save SO2 competition scalars during rotation - #6114
The SO(2) focus-competition branch needs only 32 scalar channels per focus, but a view can keep the entire 320-channel rotation output alive for backward. The existing rotation kernel now writes the required scalars from the same accumulator into independent padded storage, so the large output can expire after mixing. No extra rotation/copy launch, weight change or precision change is introduced. The scalar adjoint pads/permutates its gradient and reuses the existing rotation backward.
Uses the existing DP_TRITON_INFER=2 mechanism; no additional public environment switch or acceleration level.
Retains eval, CUDA-target FP32, lmax=3, two focuses, 32 channels per focus and focus-competition eligibility.
Runtime inference and PT freeze retain capture for the supported path. Export target pinning still works during CPU tracing.
PT-expt export keeps the non-capture operator, because its graph already releases the large rotation storage and has no corresponding measured capacity benefit.
Other layouts, CPU targets and training retain the original selection. PT and PT-expt continue sharing the implementation.
Latest follow-up 6264f6f changes only the benchmark, comparison tests and measurement documentation. All 117 committed regression cases passed locally, including real freeze/export/AOTI/load; two additional large-edge forward/four-VJP checks and two independent degree-replay checks also passed. CPU-hidden validation: 44 passed / 73 GPU skips. Production dispatch, scalar provenance, exporter selection, empty edges, VJP/second derivatives, dynamic compilation and comparison identity are covered. Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass. Expanded numerical investigation and reproduction.
Same-checkpoint RTX 5090 package validation, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, Triton 3.6.0, TF32/AMP off, 12 warmups/30 samples, three accuracy frames × three repeats:

These fresh-process pairs validate capacity, not a general speedup. PT-expt fallback has no capacity saving; the approximately 12.55% historical result belongs to a different native-CUDA runtime configuration.
The original seed0 samples pass the elementwise tolerance at 1000 atoms; expanded seed23 tests expose default-path virial failures at 1000 as well as 4096 atoms, including original-code self-repeat and non-capture comparisons. Energy, forces and stress pass the new cross-version comparisons. All failures, raw worst-component values and self/cross-repeat controls are reported in the latest investigation. Large-edge forward/VJPs remain bitwise identical. At 4096 atoms, original pre-PR code and CSC5 produce bitwise-identical energy/forces/virial/stress when both edge ordering and deterministic compilation are matched; either control alone leaves residual variation. A separate replay reproduces pre-SO2 degree atomic-reduction variability in code unchanged by this PR. These diagnostics do not relabel default virial failures as passes or change production policy. Prior deterministic PT-package isolation is retained in the earlier response. No tolerance was relaxed.
Historical runtime and multi-model measurements (before the selection-policy update)
The following measurements retain their original revisions and configuration. References to the former opt-in/default-off mode describe that historical experiment, not the current interface.
Measurement setup

TF32/AMP off; DP_CUDA_INFER=0 in every arm; native non-mixing model dtypes retained. TORCH is compiled PyTorch with DP_TRITON_INFER=0, not eager. No other experimental optimizations are added.
Full ASE energy/forces/virial/stress inference from .pt checkpoints (freeze=False), including neighbor preparation and CPU/GPU synchronization. Diamond carbon, 0.02 Å seeded perturbations, three frames × three accuracy repeats; 12 timing warmups and 30 wall-time samples per process. Target GPU checked idle before every job. GB = 10^9 bytes. Allocated peaks start before model load and include first execution/compilation; steady peaks are collected separately. Each arm has a separate compiler cache. Timing excludes compilation.
The table uses final-source fresh-cache runs (Neo in CSC5→BASE order). Nano's corrected fallback is compared with its original same-input BASE run. A further warm-cache BASE→CSC5 pair checks Neo4096 latency. All final timing runs are serialized, without another GPU test job on the host.

Neo4096 capacity saving is 2,650,808,320 bytes. For two blocks it matches 2 × 2 focuses × 647170 edges × (320−64) × 4 bytes. Generated wrappers release both large rotation outputs after their first mixing-layer consumer, retaining the small scalar buffers instead. Nano/Mini/Pro do not enter the optimization, so their time differences are not attributed to scalar capture.

For scale context, Neo4096 virial max-norm-relative error max(abs(candidate-reference))/max(abs(reference)) is 3.94e-07 across branches, versus 3.23e-07 for BASE self-repeat and 3.46e-07 for CSC5 self-repeat. This supplementary metric does not replace the elementwise check above.
At Neo4096 the pure Torch reference runs out of memory. BASE already exhibits repeated-run virial variability; the candidate comparison is reported rather than counted as an all-output pass. Nano is an unchanged fallback and also exhibits baseline/Torch repeat variability. These results do not establish deterministic full-model inference.
Reproduction and tests
source/tests/pt_expt/benchmark_so2_scalar_capture.py records checkpoint/source hashes, versions, compiler flags, input/output NPZ files, raw timing samples, P50/P90/min/max, allocated/reserved peaks and generated-wrapper paths. compare_so2_scalar_capture.py computes repeat and cross-path max_abs/mean_abs/max_relative/tolerance ratios. Use a fresh output directory each time:
Pro uses the published MPtrj checkpoint, not an OMat24-Pro checkpoint. Its older ener fitting-type alias is mapped to dpa4_ener in memory with --legacy-pro, identically in all three arms; weights are unchanged.

Memory columns use the first pair; GB = 10⁹ bytes. Peaks include model loading and first inference, not offline export.
Runtime compile + native CUDA: scalar capture is active. Steady allocated memory decreases by 12.793% / 12.836% at 1000 / 4096 atoms. The absolute savings match the earlier runtime-compile results: 0.647 / 2.651 GB. Native kernels were loaded from an isolated extension built from matching upstream sources; dispatch was verified.
Official .pt2: export, loading and inference complete, including switching 1000→4096→1000→4096 atoms with the same loaded package. This export path traces on CPU before moving the graph to CUDA, so the current x.is_cuda guard selects the original rotation path (SAVE_SCALAR=False). Consequently, scalar capture does not reduce memory in this path. Both exports use identical recorded Triton tile configurations.
Accuracy: three perturbed frames × three repeats, unchanged atol=1e-5, rtol=1e-4. At 1000 atoms all four outputs pass cross-branch comparison on both paths. At 4096 atoms energy, forces and stress pass; virial exceeds the elementwise threshold, with repeated-run virial variability also present in BASE.
These checks extend the demonstrated runtime-compilation memory benefit to the native CUDA configuration and establish the behavior of the current AOTI export path.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The SeZM rotate-mix path can optionally produce degree-zero values in separate padded storage. A constrained inference configuration uses this output for focus competition. Freeze and export routing, tests, documentation, and benchmark and comparison CLIs are also updated.

Summary
Scalar output operator and gradients deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/so2_value_path.py, deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/sweep_tile_configs.py, source/tests/pt_expt/kernels/test_so2_scalar_capture.py
The rotate-mix kernel can write degree-zero values to a separate tensor. A registered operator returns the activation and scalar output, and its backward combines gradients from both outputs. Zero-edge reference paths avoid zero-size contractions. Tests compare outputs and gradients and check operator registration and compilation. The tile-config sweep disables scalar saving.
Capture selection and export routing deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/so2_value_path.py, deepmd/pt/entrypoints/freeze_pt2.py, deepmd/pt_expt/utils/serialization.py, doc/model/dpa4.md, source/tests/pt_expt/kernels/test_so2_scalar_dispatch.py
The value path selects scalar capture for evaluation at inference level 2 with the documented layout and dtype conditions. Freeze and export paths configure CUDA-target behavior. Tests cover dispatch, model outputs, and export routing. The documentation describes the supported path and measurements.
The CLI configures a route, evaluates seeded frames, and records outputs, timing, memory, and run status.
Benchmark result comparison source/tests/pt_expt/compare_so2_scalar_capture.py, source/tests/pt_expt/test_compare_so2_scalar_capture.py
The CLI compares repeated outputs and available routes after validating input and model hashes. Tests cover identity validation and comparison behavior.

Cover the capture-enabled value path with a forward-level test.
No test runs _TritonSO2ValuePath.forward with DP_SO2_SCALAR_CAPTURE_INFER=1. test_scope calls only _save_competition_scalar, and test_dynamic_compile calls _rotate_mix_scalar_op directly. The reference comparison in test_descriptor_sezm_triton.py does not set the flag, so it never takes the capture branch.
The capture and default paths produce identical values. An output comparison alone cannot detect a bypassed capture. A regression that always selects _rotate_mix_op, or that passes the wrong tensor as gate_src, would still pass the suite.
Add a test that:
Sets DP_SO2_SCALAR_CAPTURE_INFER=1 with monkeypatch.
Builds a CUDA FP32 value path with triton_infer_level 2, training False, lmax 3, n_focus 2, so2_focus_dim 32, and focus_compete True.
Replaces vp._rotate_mix_scalar_op with a spy that calls the original operator and returns its result. Assert that the spy ran once.
Wraps conv._focus_alpha and asserts that its argument equals the scalar output returned by the spy.
Add a companion case with the flag unset that asserts the default operator is used.

This PR adds an opt-in scalar-capture path to the fused SO(2) rotate-and-mix kernel: with the flag on, the l=0 focus-competition scalars are written from the rotation accumulator into an independent padded buffer through a new sezm_triton::so2_rotate_mix_scalar op whose autograd is the slice/permute adjoint of the old gate branch, and _focus_alpha consumes that buffer instead of a view of the full rotation output. The layout, store offsets and backward are internally consistent and numerically match the old path exactly. The two blocking items below concern where the feature can actually run and whether anything verifies that it runs: the documented export path cannot activate it, and no test exercises the production dispatch.
Review follow-up: export routing and production dispatch
Addressed in 7161a051a1ca:
Both PT freeze and the pt_expt exporter pin scalar capture to the deployment target, before CPU tracing. Ordinary CPU execution and CPU-target export remain on the original path.
CPU and fake implementations describe the same independent padded scalar layout as CUDA. The explicit fake implementation keeps symbolic edge counts out of reference einsum path planning.
Production-dispatch tests construct real convolutions for both backends, check ON/OFF operator counts, and use a distinct sentinel to prove that _focus_alpha consumes the captured scalar rather than an equal-valued slice. A full-model flag-on/off comparison covers the unmodified numerical path.
Export-routing regressions cover ON/CUDA, OFF/CUDA and ON/CPU for both entry points. These tests inspect the actual traced graph at the export boundary; full compiled-package execution is checked separately below.
Benchmark comparison now requires matching checkpoint and input hashes, with rejection tests.
RTX 5090, driver 595.91.07, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, Triton 3.6.0. Same Neo checkpoint as the PR, upstream BASE 1ded5d242946; tri2, CUDA0, TF32/AMP off. Each exporter is compared with its own upstream export path, not with the other exporter. Recorded Triton launch tables match across the final pairs; this does not lock every Inductor autotuning decision.
One serialized process pair per size/exporter; 12 warmups, 30 synchronized full ASE energy/forces/virial/stress samples, three perturbed frames × three accuracy repeats. GPU compute-process checks precede every job and clocks/temperature/power are recorded. Timing excludes offline export. Allocated memory uses decimal GB and includes loading/first inference; steady peaks are measured separately. Positive time change means slower.

The PT freeze capacity saving is 0.647 GB / 2.651 GB. The pt_expt result is no peak-memory benefit (+1,218,560 bytes): its upstream generated wrapper already releases the two large rotation outputs in the forward after competition normalization. The candidate really uses SAVE_SCALAR=True, but there is no corresponding long-lived full-output retention to remove in this graph. Thus the PT memory percentage is not attributed to pt_expt.
These are the active-export results for the updated implementation; the earlier comment measured the pre-fix, inactive export branch.

At 4096 atoms, the PT / pt_expt cross-branch virial maximum tolerance ratios are 1.983 / 1.833. BASE and candidate repeated-run errors are shown above; the virial failures are not relabeled as passes.
Each candidate package also loads once and switches 1000→4096→1000→4096. The switched frame-zero outputs pass all E/F/V/S checks against three independent BASE and candidate repeats (36 comparisons total). This subset check does not replace the three-frame virial results.

test_export_dispatch has @GPU, so the whole function is skipped when CUDA or Triton is unavailable. Its (True, "cpu") case therefore does not run on CPU-only runs. That case checks that a CPU export target does not add scalar-capture nodes when DP_SO2_SCALAR_CAPTURE_INFER=1.
The existing ungated test_export_target_scope sets _force_scalar_capture_cuda_target by hand and does not call either exporter. On CPU-only runs, a change that sets this override to True for CPU targets in freeze_pt2.py or serialization.py would not fail any test.

Add an end-to-end freeze and load test for the scalar capture path.
test_export_dispatch replaces torch.export.export with inspect_graph, which raises ExportBoundary before export runs. It checks that the scalar node appears in the traced graph. It does not exercise the export, fake-tensor layout, or AOTI lowering of that node. The other capture tests exercise the gate and the runtime dispatch. The existing freeze tests leave capture off or stub the export. As a result, a freeze with capture enabled has no automated test that runs export and AOTI compilation.
Add a GPU-gated test that sets DP_SO2_SCALAR_CAPTURE_INFER=1, uses a checkpoint that meets the capture scope (lmax=3, two focuses, 32 focus channels, focus competition, CUDA FP32), and calls freeze_sezm_to_pt2 without patching torch.export.export. The test should then load the package and run one forward pass.

Add a test that calls compare with differing repeat pairs.
7-9: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Add a test that calls compare with differing repeat pairs.
The test module imports only validate_identity, and no test calls compare. compare checks every candidate repeat index against every reference repeat index. A change that compares only matching indices would not fail any test in this module.
Add a test where the repeat values differ, and assert that passed is False. Mismatched repeat pairs produce a max_ratio above 1 under the current comparison. Under matching-index comparison, every delta is zero and passed is True, so the assertion fails.

The identity fixtures put both model_sha256 and input_sha256 into both the result and the manifest dictionaries. validate_identity reads input_sha256 from the result and model_sha256 from the manifest. Because each dictionary holds both keys, a lookup from the wrong artifact still finds the key, and these tests still pass.
The benchmark writes input_sha256 to result.json and model_sha256 to manifest.json. A swapped lookup would raise ValueError on real benchmark pairs, but these tests would not detect it.

Incremental source review from 0045225 to 5e0e1c1: both exporters now pin the scalar-capture choice to the deployment target before CPU tracing; the CPU and fake outputs agree with the CUDA padded independent-storage contract. The new production dispatch tests check operator counts and scalar provenance, and the comparison helper rejects mismatched or missing checkpoint/input identities. I did not find another source defect in this delta.
Qualification remains narrower than a full numerical/performance pass: the author's new active-export measurements report 4096-atom cross-branch virial tolerance ratios of 1.983 (PT) and 1.833 (pt_expt). Baseline self-variability is useful context but does not by itself establish that those cross-branch failures are acceptable. PT reports a memory/latency tradeoff; pt_expt reports no peak-memory benefit and a 0.71–0.93% slowdown. Please retain those limitations and isolate the virial discrepancy before claiming full qualification or broadening enablement. The latest online CUDA workflow's actual Python/C++ CUDA jobs were skipped; I have not independently rerun GPU measurements.

New CI finding on the already-reviewed head 5e0e1c1: the CPU zero-edge contract currently fails in the repository's supported CI dependency combination. Test Python (3, 3.10) fails test_cpu_scalar_layout_and_vjp[0] before reaching the VJP assertions: _rotate_mix_scalar_impl calls _rotate_mix_reference, whose three-input einsum at so2_value_path.py:212 enters opt_einsum's path-cost calculation with both costs zero and raises decimal.InvalidOperation: DivisionUndefined. The install log shows opt-einsum being downgraded from 3.4.0 to 3.3.0 before the test.
Please preserve the empty-edge output layout and gradient contract without invoking this unsupported zero-size contraction path (or otherwise resolve the supported-dependency incompatibility), and retain the edges=0 regression under this CI combination. Simply skipping the test would hide the failing contract. This is separate from the existing GPU numerical/performance qualification caveats.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Follow-up review at head 5e0e1c1. One blocking issue: the new CPU reference branch of the scalar-capture operator crashes for an empty edge set, and the PR's own CPU test fails on CI as a result. Details inline.
Both CPU rotation reference functions return empty outputs before zero-size einsum planning. Empty reductions preserve the zero derivative to every operand; the capture operator retains its padded scalar layout. No optimizer flag or dependency pin is changed, and the empty-edge test remains enabled.
CPU coverage now spans E=0/1/17, rank 0/1/2, layout and VJP checks. Empty main, scalar, and combined output branches also have exact-zero first/second-derivative checks.
CPU-target exporter cases now run without a CUDA requirement. The new GPU integration test performs actual freeze, torch.export, AOTI compilation, package loading and energy/force/virial comparison, and checks SAVE_SCALAR=True in the artifact. It bypasses only the launch-tuning sweep.
Comparison tests now exercise differing cross-repeat pairs and use separate result/manifest identity fields, matching the benchmark artifacts.

The three Hessian cases were added after the full suite had collected, so 93 distinct cases were validated under 3.3.0 across those runs. Full-repository Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass.
The production diff is confined to the two CPU reference functions; GPU kernels and nonempty arithmetic are unchanged. The previously reported 4096-atom virial qualification results remain unchanged and are not promoted to a full numerical pass by this fix.

Scoped verification of 5e0e1c1 -> 3909462: the CPU empty-edge defect reported in my previous review is addressed in the source. Both reference functions return before the zero-cost einsum planner, with empty reductions retaining operand dependencies; the scalar allocation/layout is unchanged. The guard applies only to concrete eager zero counts and does not add a Python guard on symbolic counts. Nonempty arithmetic and GPU kernels are unchanged.
The regression suite now covers rank 0/1/2 CPU layouts and VJPs, exact-zero first/second derivatives for each output branch, ungated CPU export-target tests, cross-repeat comparisons, and separate result/manifest identities. A new GPU test runs real freeze/export/AOTI/load (only launch tuning is stubbed), verifies capture in the wrapper and compares energy/force/virial. No additional source defect found in this bounded delta.
Validation boundary: source/test inspection only here; this environment has no importable Torch, so I did not independently execute these tests or rerun GPU qualification. The author's reported local 3.3.0/3.4.0 results are separate evidence. Current-head Python/C++ CI is still running; actual hosted CUDA jobs are skipped despite the green aggregate. The existing 4096-atom virial qualification limitation remains unchanged, not a full numerical pass.

Reviewed 3909462. The earlier export-target, production-dispatch and empty-edge CPU findings are addressed in the current source: both exporters pin the target before CPU tracing, the new dispatch tests check operator selection and scalar provenance, and both CPU reference functions avoid zero-size einsum planning while preserving gradient dependencies. I am not reopening those findings.
The remaining design blocker is the additional public DP_SO2_SCALAR_CAPTURE_INFER switch and the need for benefit-aware selection within the existing Triton mechanism (inline comment). Keep PT/PT-expt implementation sharing and the genuine dtype/layout/derivative constraints; do not simply make capture unconditional.
The capacity claim must stay scoped to the measured execution path. The reported approximately 12.55% reduction is for runtime compilation with native CUDA at 1000 atoms. The active-export measurements report 12.350%/12.377% peak-allocated savings for PT export at 1000/4096 atoms, with +0.651%/+1.087% latency. PT-expt export reports no additional peak-memory saving and +0.933%/+0.711% latency because the baseline graph already releases the large rotation outputs. The selection and documentation must not generalize the PT benefit to a path with no corresponding retained-storage benefit.
Numerical qualification remains incomplete at 4096 atoms: the reported PT/PT-expt cross-branch virial tolerance ratios are 1.983/1.833 under the unchanged elementwise criterion. Baseline repeat variability is relevant context, but it does not by itself establish that the candidate adds no error. Please isolate the discrepancy and document the acceptance evidence before claiming a complete numerical pass or broadening enablement. This is an unresolved qualification limit, not a demonstrated new arithmetic defect.
Independent validation on the exact source snapshot with PyTorch 2.13 and opt_einsum 3.4: 21 CPU tests passed and 72 GPU cases were skipped, including successful empty-edge first/second-derivative checks and both CPU-target exporter tests. Changed-file Ruff and whitespace checks passed. I did not rerun opt_einsum 3.3, GPU kernels, AOTI GPU inference or performance measurements; the author's results are separate evidence, and the hosted CUDA jobs were skipped.
Removed DP_SO2_SCALAR_CAPTURE_INFER. Capture is selected internally under the existing Triton inference level 2 and the existing eval, FP32, CUDA-target and layout constraints. No acceleration level was added.
Kept the shared implementation and CPU-trace target pinning. PT export retains capture; PT-expt export explicitly retains the original rotation operator because its graph already releases the large storage. Artifact inspection finds SAVE_SCALAR=True in the PT package and no capture kernel in the PT-expt package.
Updated production-dispatch/provenance tests and exporter tests for this final selection contract. Added CPU-visible eligibility tests and comparison tests with distinct fields, nonzero-frame discrepancies and distinct candidate/reference arrays. The benchmark's BASE route is now an explicit test-only ablation, not a public switch.
Validation: the CUDA/CPU regression suite passed 97 cases, including actual PT freeze/export/AOTI/load. Eight additional CPU eligibility cases subsequently passed: 105 distinct committed regression cases validated. With CUDA hidden, the final suite passed 32 CPU cases under each of opt_einsum 3.3.0 and 3.4.0 (73 GPU cases skipped in each CPU-only run). Full-repository Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass. The CPU empty-edge first/second-derivative regressions remain active.
Updated measurements
RTX 5090, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, Triton 3.6.0; same Neo checkpoint (8d8b2b02b9575cb9e0af420cc1e8b1d9ffcbc04752c2203d29f48ccd0cd5f07d) and seeded input frames. TF32/AMP off, CUDA inference extensions off. Three frames × three accuracy repeats; 12 warmups and 30 synchronized ASE samples. Each route has a fresh process/cache; jobs are serialized per GPU. The runtime pair uses the same updated source with capture ablated for BASE; package baselines are the previously recorded same-checkpoint upstream exports. These are one-pair validation measurements, not new confidence intervals or a speedup claim.

Decimal GB. The approximately 12.55% historical figure belongs to a separate native-CUDA runtime configuration; it is not generalized to these paths. Documentation now describes the capacity/latency tradeoff and excludes PT-expt export from capture.

Acceptance remains elementwise abs(candidate-reference) <= 1e-5 + 1e-4*abs(reference), comparing all same-frame repeat pairs. All three default paths pass at 1000 atoms. At 4096, default runtime/PT/PT-expt cross-route virial ratios are 4.625826/2.279212/2.500922; energy, force and stress pass. These failures remain reported.
Two additional local isolation checks distinguish the changed operator from whole-graph reduction behavior:
At 158002 and 647170 synthetic edges, identical inputs and identical upstream gradients produce bitwise-identical rotation outputs, scalar outputs and all four VJPs between the old and capture operators (max absolute difference zero). These are large-edge operator checks, not full-model physical-accuracy claims.
At 4096 real atoms, runtime compilation with matched canonical edge ordering, deterministic Torch lowering and the same CUBLAS workspace yields bitwise equality for energy, forces, virial and stress across all three frames and repeat pairs. Both input hash streams match; both self-repeat comparisons are also exact. No weights, tolerance or arithmetic precision were changed. These controls are local diagnostics and are not added to production inference.
Canonicalizing only the inputs of already-built nondeterministic PT packages does not remove the residual: cross-route virial ratio 3.257306, with identical canonical-input hashes. Runtime determinism cannot retroactively change the reductions baked into an AOTI artifact.
Re-exporting both PT arms with deterministic lowering enabled before tracing/compilation, then replaying matched canonical inputs, gives bitwise equality of all four full-model outputs at 4096 atoms, including all self-repeat and cross-repeat comparisons. Both input hash streams match. This separates the unchanged scalar-capture arithmetic from the nondeterministic whole-graph execution: canonical inputs alone do not fix an already-built nondeterministic package, whereas matched deterministic compilation plus canonical inputs eliminates the difference in this test. The diagnostic is expensive (about 297 ms including canonical sorting versus about 153–154 ms for the default packages), so these settings are not silently added to production or used for the performance claims. Default-package virial qualification remains explicitly limited; this evidence is not presented as universal bitwise determinism.
The diagnostic recipe is: set CUBLAS_WORKSPACE_CONFIG=:4096:8 before importing Torch; call torch.use_deterministic_algorithms(True) before model compilation or PT export; compile the same checkpoint/source twice, with _save_competition_scalar patched to return False only in the BASE diagnostic process; retain identical recorded Triton launch tables. Before each lower-graph call, stable-sort the edge arrays together using endpoint/displacement keys, preserve index/scatter aliasing, and hash the resulting index/vector/scatter/mask tensors. Compare the same three input frames and every 3×3 repeat pair at the original tolerance. For package isolation, the second pair uses newly deterministic-compiled artifacts, not the earlier nondeterministic artifacts with a runtime flag toggled.
The existing manual benchmark supports --route BASE and --route CSC5 for same-source ablation. Real PT export uses the ordinary DP_TRITON_INFER=2 dp --pt freeze flow; no additional environment switch is needed. Please re-review the selection change and the qualification evidence above.
Assert the non-scalar rotate-mix operator for level-2 non-capture exports.
At DP_TRITON_INFER=2, the non-capture cases (pt on CPU, pt_expt on CUDA, and pt_expt on CPU) can bind the Triton value path. That path emits sezm_triton.so2_rotate_mix. nodes. The export check tests only the scalar operator and requires its absence in these cases. A change that drops the value path for these cases still passes. Add a conditional check for the non-scalar operator, guarded by Triton availability.

Agent: dot
Incremental review of 3909462 -> 3724fe3: the extra public scalar-capture switch is removed. Selection uses the existing Triton level 2 while retaining the eval, CUDA-target, FP32 and layout constraints. PT freeze keeps target pinning and capture; PT-expt export explicitly keeps the non-capture path where the reported graph already releases the rotation storage. The updated production-dispatch and exporter tests exercise that split, including CPU-visible eligibility exclusions. I found no additional source defect in this eight-file delta.
Independent validation here: the exact-head comparison-helper regression suite passes all 9 cases, including distinct output fields, different candidate/reference arrays and a discrepancy confined to each of the three frames. Exact-head configured Ruff checks pass. This environment has no importable Torch, so I did not independently execute the Torch/GPU, freeze/AOTI or performance suite.
The new reported isolation evidence is materially stronger than baseline repeat variability alone: large-edge operator/VJP comparisons and newly deterministic-compiled PT packages with matched canonical inputs reportedly produce bitwise-identical outputs. Those diagnostic controls are distinct from the default packages. Their 4096-atom default runtime/PT/PT-expt virial tolerance ratios remain 4.626/2.279/2.501, so this is not a complete default-path numerical pass or a general performance claim.
Current-head Python/C++ qualification is still running. The green hosted CUDA aggregate has both actual CUDA test jobs skipped; it supplies no independent GPU qualification.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The three blocking items from the previous rounds are addressed and verified at this head:
Scalar capture is now selectable during CPU tracing through the deployment-target pin, and the PT freeze bakes SAVE_SCALAR: True; the pt_expt exporter's non-capture policy is documented and pinned by a routing test.
The production dispatch is exercised end to end, including a sentinel check that the competition gate consumes the captured buffer rather than a view of the rotation output.
The zero-edge CPU reference no longer reaches the zero-size einsum planner: the crash reproduces at the merge base and is gone here, with empty outputs and correct zero gradients.
The remaining observations are non-blocking: comment accuracy in the eager CPU branch, a tuning-sweep launch without a direct test, and regression-protection gaps around second-order gradients for the wigner/kernel/basis operands. None of them affects the supported inference paths.

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Re-reviewed 3724fe3. The previous selection/API request is addressed: capture uses the existing level-2 mechanism, keeps the target/dtype/layout constraints, and stays off for PT-expt export. I am not reopening that request.
The main remaining blocker is the default-path virial error at 4096 atoms. The latest measurements report maximum tolerance ratios of 4.625826 / 2.279212 / 2.500922 for runtime / PT export / PT-expt export under the unchanged elementwise criterion abs(candidate-reference) <= 1e-5 + 1e-4*abs(reference). Energy, forces and stress passing does not resolve the failing virial comparison.
The large-edge operator/VJP checks and bitwise-equal full-model results with canonical inputs and deterministic compilation are useful isolation evidence. However, those controls change the execution being qualified, and the ordinary runtime and deployed packages still exceed the stated tolerance. PT-expt also fails while using the non-capture route, so this is not evidence by itself that scalar capture introduces a new arithmetic error. The cause and acceptance of the default-path discrepancy still need closer investigation before merge.
Please:
Commit a reproducible investigation for the failing default paths, with the exact checkpoint/source/configuration identities, input frames, raw output comparisons and worst offending virial components. Keep self-repeat controls and all same-frame cross-repeat comparisons at the original tolerance.
Isolate which input-ordering or compiled reduction differences account for the default-path errors, using the deterministic runs as controls, and quantify what remains unexplained.
Address the failing production configurations and provide acceptance evidence for the paths being enabled. If they cannot yet be qualified, narrow the supported selection accordingly. Do not relax the tolerance or count the diagnostic bitwise-equality runs as a default-package pass.
The two inline comments are smaller benchmark/documentation issues and should be fixed as well.
Independent exact-head validation: the four-file regression suite passes 32 CPU cases under each of opt_einsum 3.3.0 and 3.4.0 with PyTorch 2.11.0+cpu; 73 GPU cases are skipped in each run. Full-repository Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass. I did not independently rerun GPU kernels, CUDA AOTI inference or the reported performance/numerical experiments. The hosted CUDA test jobs are also skipped.

[P3] Reject a CSC5 run against a checkout without scalar capture
--root can select a pre-feature checkout, but only BASE checks whether _save_competition_scalar exists. With --route CSC5 against such a checkout, the benchmark runs the original implementation and can still emit route: CSC5 with status: completed. This makes a mislabeled comparison look valid.
Please reject CSC5 when the helper is absent, record a non-completed/unsupported status, and add a regression for that case. Preserve the intentional fallback for unsupported model layouts on a checkout that does implement capture.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 6264f6f. CSC5 now rejects a checkout without the capture helper, writes status: unsupported and exits 2. The actual CLI against pre-feature commit 1ded5d2 was checked with that result. Twelve route/support/eligibility cases cover the guard while preserving BASE and intentional model-layout fallback on feature-capable checkouts. The focused committed regression suite passes all 117 cases.

[P3] Identify the measurement round or update the latency figures
This paragraph still gives +0.65%/+1.09% latency for PT export at 1000/4096 atoms, while the current PR description and latest measurement comment give +0.338%/+0.453%. The older values came from an earlier measurement round, but the documentation does not identify that round.
Please update these figures to the reported current results and link the measurement conditions, or explicitly label the older measurements and their revision. Keep the capacity-versus-latency qualification rather than implying a stable speedup.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 6264f6f: updated to +0.338%/+0.453% and linked the measurement round and conditions (PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, Triton 3.6.0, TF32/AMP off, 12 warmups/30 samples). The documentation retains the capacity-versus-latency qualification and does not claim a stable speedup.
@OutisLi@wanghan-iapcm Thank you for the follow-up review. This update is deliberately limited to the benchmark, its comparison tests and the measurement documentation; no production arithmetic or selection policy changes.
In 6264f6f:
CSC5 rejects a pre-feature checkout with status: unsupported, rather than reporting a mislabeled completed run. BASE and legitimate model-layout fallbacks are preserved; 12 support/route/eligibility regression cases cover the policy.
The comparison tool now reports the worst frame, repeat pair, component, raw values, error and tolerance, retaining every same-frame cross-repeat comparison and the original criterion.
The documentation identifies the updated PT-export measurement round (+0.338%/+0.453% latency), with a link to its conditions.

Energy, forces and stress pass every cross-arm comparison in this table. The original implementation itself fails some virial self-repeat comparisons; even original→capture-OFF can exceed tolerance.

Isolation and a concrete existing variability source
Input fingerprints show different ordered edge lists for all three same-frame repetitions in original/OFF/ON. Canonical full endpoint/displacement ordering gives identical physical edge arrays across versions. Canonical-only runs have identical same-frame input hashes but still show output variability.

Both-control self comparisons are also bitwise equal across all frames/repeats. The remaining error is zero in that controlled comparison; neither control alone qualifies the ordinary path.
One concrete variability source precedes SO2: edge_cache._finalize_edge_cache uses the degree index_add_. This source is unchanged by the PR, and the original generated wrapper lowers it to floating tl.atomic_add with deterministic mode disabled. Independently replaying that degree expression with fixed real masked inputs (647170 edges, 4096 nodes, 30 repetitions) varies 4093 node values, with maximum repeat difference 2.6702880859375e-5; deterministic compilation gives zero variation. This identifies an existing reduction-level source, not an individual attribution of every full-model virial residual.
Validation: all 117 committed regression cases passed, including real freeze/AOTI/load; both additional 158002/647170-edge rotation/scalar-output and four-VJP comparisons are bitwise equal. Two local degree-replay checks passed after matching production mask handling. CPU-hidden validation passes 44 cases with 73 GPU skips. Full-repository Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass.
The runtime steady allocated peaks reproduce exactly across both seeds: 5.464736→4.817560 GB at N1000 (−11.843%) and 22.313547→19.662739 GB at N4096 (−11.880%). This investigation used three warmups/10 timing samples and is not a new stable latency claim; the linked PT-export performance round remains separately identified.
Reproduce the default before/OFF/ON comparison and inspect worst components
Use the public Neo OMat24 v20260627 checkpoint with the SHA256 above. From this PR checkout, choose fresh output directories:
Change seed to 0 and/or cell to 5 5 5 for the other table entries. Each directory contains exact source/configuration/checkpoint identities, input frames and raw output arrays. The benchmark enforces an idle target GPU. For the comparisons without a pure-Torch reference:
The diagnostic controls canonicalize edge ordering immediately before forward_common_lower (stable lexicographic full endpoint/displacement keys); deterministic compilation sets torch.use_deterministic_algorithms(True) and CUBLAS_WORKSPACE_CONFIG=:4096:8 before compilation. They are not production changes. The raw experiment/cache/package bundles remain outside the source diff.
The expanded tests show pre-existing variability and no arithmetic discrepancy in the matched-input, matched-deterministic comparison. Default virial failures remain reported rather than relabeled as passes. This minimal update leaves the production policy unchanged; please review whether the remaining baseline numerical qualification can be tracked separately.
Test the capture-route override against the real module.
The BASE assertion always evaluates to False because the helper installs a stub that returns False. This mirrors configure_capture_route instead of testing the production _save_competition_scalar predicate. The test also does not verify that the benchmark changes the module consumed by the production dispatch. Add a focused test that patches the real deepmd.pt_expt.kernels.triton.sezm.so2_value_path module and confirms that the BASE route disables capture while the other routes preserve the original predicate.

BASE correctly patches the module attribute before an eager model is loaded. However, the benchmark accepts .pt2 inputs, whose inference uses the precompiled AOTInductor runner. The patch cannot affect that path, so BASE and CSC5 do not measure different capture policies.

Re-reviewed ae29415. My only remaining requested change is to revert all changes to doc/model/dpa4.md in this PR. The internal capture/storage-lifetime implementation, exporter-specific policy and development measurement detail do not belong in the user-facing model documentation. Keep the rationale, measurements and numerical qualification in the PR discussion and relevant source comments. This supersedes my earlier request to update the measurement figures in that document; remove the added section rather than revising it again.
I withdraw the additional capture-specific autotuning requirement from the preceding version of this review. Reusing the existing rotate-mix tuning/configuration path is acceptable for this scoped capacity optimization; no separate capture sweep, configuration family or tuning evidence is required for merge. To keep the technical distinction clear, the current sweep measures SAVE_SCALAR=False and capture reuses the resulting configuration with SAVE_SCALAR=True. I have not established that this reuse produces an invalid launch configuration or a correctness defect, and I should not have made separate measurement of the specialization a mandatory change.
The previous public-switch/selection request is addressed, as are the CPU-tracing, empty-edge, dispatch-provenance and earlier benchmark fixes. The expanded original-code/OFF/ON and matched deterministic controls support tracking baseline virial nondeterminism separately; I am not retaining it as an additional blocker for this PR. That does not relabel the reported default-path tolerance failures as passes. There are no other blocking requests from this review.
Verification already completed on this head: 44 CPU tests passed and 73 GPU cases were skipped; the same results hold for the isolated integration with current master. Changed-file Ruff and whitespace checks passed. GPU/AOTI runtime and the reported performance measurements were not independently executed in this round.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Withdrawn — no additional capture-specific autotuning change is requested.
The capture path reuses the existing rotate-mix kernel family and launch-configuration table. The current sweep measures SAVE_SCALAR=False and capture consumes the resulting configuration with SAVE_SCALAR=True; these are shared configurations, not separately measured specializations. That distinction alone does not establish an invalid configuration or a correctness defect, and reusing the existing tuning path is acceptable for this scoped capacity optimization.
Please disregard my earlier P2 requirement for a separate capture sweep/configuration-coverage change. The only remaining requested change in this review is to revert the PR's additions to doc/model/dpa4.md.

The rationale, measurements, numerical qualification and fresh validation are retained in the follow-up comment: 117 committed regressions plus four local isolation cases passed in one GPU run (121 total), CPU-hidden 44 passed/73 skipped, and all 26 self/19 cross comparisons recomputed from the prior raw outputs match exactly. The large-edge forward/four-VJP checks are bitwise equal again. Ruff and whitespace checks pass. Please re-review this documentation removal.
@OutisLi Thank you for clarifying the remaining request. I have removed the entire added scalar-capture section from doc/model/dpa4.md, restoring the file exactly to the PR target (1ded5d24). This follow-up changes that document only; the implementation, dispatch, tuning tables and numerical tolerances are unchanged. The rationale and measurements remain in this PR discussion, as requested.
For clarity on the tuning distinction: the existing sweep measures SAVE_SCALAR=False; capture reuses that configuration with SAVE_SCALAR=True. We do not claim a separate capture-specific tuning measurement.
Numerical evidence and baseline attribution
The expanded investigation and reproduction commands retain the full 26 fresh-process evaluations, exact checkpoint/source/configuration identities, same-frame 3×3 comparisons, worst raw components, ordinary PT/PT-expt package results, and input-order/deterministic-compilation controls. Today I recomputed all 26 self comparisons and 19 cross comparisons directly from the retained raw output arrays using the current committed comparison helper: every metric exactly matches the previously reported results. Runtime input/checkpoint identities were checked; deployed artifact hashes were rechecked separately because before/after packages intentionally differ. This is a reanalysis of the existing evaluations, not 26 newly executed model runs.
The absolute virial scale complements the earlier tolerance-ratio tables:
Seed / atoms
Before PR: maximum self-repeat error, eV
Capture ON: maximum self-repeat error, eV
Before → ON: maximum error, eV
0 / 1000
3.6633e-5
3.5834e-5
5.1756e-5
0 / 4096

1.2961e-4
1.4847e-4
1.7732e-4
These are maximum absolute errors over all components; the component maximizing the elementwise tolerance ratio can be different. The original code already fails virial self-repeat comparisons: for example, N4096/seed23/frame2/repeats2-vs1, component [1,0], 0.20610232293932285 versus 0.20599773141314515 eV, absolute error 1.0459152617769973e-4 eV versus tolerance 3.0599773141314516e-5 eV. Original→capture-OFF comparisons can also fail, and the non-capture PT-expt packages exhibit the same class of variability.
Thus these tested errors predate the PR and remain of the same order of magnitude; the samples do not prove identical error distributions or universal default-path acceptance. Energy/forces/stress pass the reported cross-version comparisons. The original elementwise criterion abs(diff) <= 1e-5 + 1e-4*abs(reference) is unchanged, and all default-path virial failures remain reported as failures.
The isolation evidence also remains distinct from acceptance: canonical edge ordering alone or deterministic compilation alone leaves variation, while applying both produces bitwise-identical energy/forces/virial/stress across the before/after runtime runs. The earlier newly deterministic-compiled PT-package pair likewise matches bitwise. An independent fixed-input replay identifies the unchanged pre-SO2 degree index_add_/floating atomic reduction as one concrete variability source, without attributing every virial residual to that one operation.
Fresh validation of this follow-up
121 passed in one GPU-visible invocation on RTX 5090, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128 / Triton 3.6.0: all 117 committed regressions, plus two local large-edge checks and two local degree-replay checks (408.90 s). This includes actual freeze/export/AOTI/load, production dispatch/provenance, exporter selection, empty edges, VJP/second derivatives, dynamic compilation, workspace reuse and comparison regressions.
At 158002 and 647170 edges, old/capture rotation outputs, scalar outputs and all four VJPs are again bitwise identical; every recorded VJP maximum absolute error and tolerance ratio is zero.
The fresh fixed-input degree replay (647170 edges, 4096 nodes, 30 repeats) again reproduces pre-SO2 variability: 4092 node values vary, maximum absolute difference 2.288818359375e-5; deterministic compilation gives zero varying nodes and zero difference. This is consistent with, rather than a replacement for, the earlier full-model isolation.
Full-repository Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass. git diff verifies that production and test code are unchanged from ae294158, and the model document exactly matches the target branch. The new commit is ae36377d0e7e7ac072e001a5178c9d90298039a7.
The previous head's hosted Python/C++/build/documentation checks completed successfully; its actual CUDA jobs were skipped, so they are not presented as independent GPU evidence. A new CI cycle will run for this documentation-only commit.
The historical capacity measurements remain 11.843%/11.880% lower steady allocated peaks for runtime at 1000/4096 atoms, and 12.350%/12.377% for PT export, with PT-export P50 latency +0.338%/+0.453% in the identified measurement round. These are retained measurements, not a new speed benchmark or a speedup claim. No experimental artifacts or local diagnostic scripts are added to the branch.
This addresses the sole remaining change in your latest review. Could you please re-review the documentation removal?

Change
The SO(2) focus-competition branch needs only 32 scalar channels per focus, but a view can keep the entire 320-channel rotation output alive for backward. The existing rotation kernel now writes the required scalars from the same accumulator into independent padded storage, so the large output can expire after mixing. No extra rotation/copy launch, weight change or precision change is introduced. The scalar adjoint pads/permutates its gradient and reuses the existing rotation backward.
Current selection policy
Updated in 3724fe3, following the review:
DP_TRITON_INFER=2mechanism; no additional public environment switch or acceleration level.lmax=3, two focuses, 32 channels per focus and focus-competition eligibility.Current validation and measurements
Full review response, measurements, qualification and reproduction.
Latest follow-up 6264f6f changes only the benchmark, comparison tests and measurement documentation. All 117 committed regression cases passed locally, including real freeze/export/AOTI/load; two additional large-edge forward/four-VJP checks and two independent degree-replay checks also passed. CPU-hidden validation: 44 passed / 73 GPU skips. Production dispatch, scalar provenance, exporter selection, empty edges, VJP/second derivatives, dynamic compilation and comparison identity are covered. Ruff check/format and whitespace checks pass. Expanded numerical investigation and reproduction.
Same-checkpoint RTX 5090 package validation, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, Triton 3.6.0, TF32/AMP off, 12 warmups/30 samples, three accuracy frames × three repeats:
These fresh-process pairs validate capacity, not a general speedup. PT-expt fallback has no capacity saving; the approximately 12.55% historical result belongs to a different native-CUDA runtime configuration.
The original seed0 samples pass the elementwise tolerance at 1000 atoms; expanded seed23 tests expose default-path virial failures at 1000 as well as 4096 atoms, including original-code self-repeat and non-capture comparisons. Energy, forces and stress pass the new cross-version comparisons. All failures, raw worst-component values and self/cross-repeat controls are reported in the latest investigation. Large-edge forward/VJPs remain bitwise identical. At 4096 atoms, original pre-PR code and CSC5 produce bitwise-identical energy/forces/virial/stress when both edge ordering and deterministic compilation are matched; either control alone leaves residual variation. A separate replay reproduces pre-SO2 degree atomic-reduction variability in code unchanged by this PR. These diagnostics do not relabel default virial failures as passes or change production policy. Prior deterministic PT-package isolation is retained in the earlier response. No tolerance was relaxed.
Historical runtime and multi-model measurements (before the selection-policy update)
The following measurements retain their original revisions and configuration. References to the former opt-in/default-off mode describe that historical experiment, not the current interface.
Measurement setup
BASE: upstream
1ded5d2429467fb16cb1d6c3d3059fac881f82a7. Candidate:5caac25a9af8a032f5ce84091446c50e9869bb28. RTX 5090, driver 595.91.07, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, Triton 3.6.0. TF32/AMP off;DP_CUDA_INFER=0in every arm; native non-mixing model dtypes retained. TORCH is compiled PyTorch withDP_TRITON_INFER=0, not eager. No other experimental optimizations are added.Full ASE energy/forces/virial/stress inference from
.ptcheckpoints (freeze=False), including neighbor preparation and CPU/GPU synchronization. Diamond carbon, 0.02 Å seeded perturbations, three frames × three accuracy repeats; 12 timing warmups and 30 wall-time samples per process. Target GPU checked idle before every job. GB = 10^9 bytes. Allocated peaks start before model load and include first execution/compilation; steady peaks are collected separately. Each arm has a separate compiler cache. Timing excludes compilation.The table uses final-source fresh-cache runs (Neo in CSC5→BASE order). Nano's corrected fallback is compared with its original same-input BASE run. A further warm-cache BASE→CSC5 pair checks Neo4096 latency. All final timing runs are serialized, without another GPU test job on the host.
End-to-end latency
Initial BASE→CSC5 screen / final-source CSC5→BASE repeat: Neo96: +1.960% / +0.068%; Neo1000: -0.325% / +0.225%. These process pairs do not establish a stable small-system speedup.
Allocated memory
Neo4096 capacity saving is 2,650,808,320 bytes. For two blocks it matches
2 × 2 focuses × 647170 edges × (320−64) × 4 bytes. Generated wrappers release both large rotation outputs after their first mixing-layer consumer, retaining the small scalar buffers instead. Nano/Mini/Pro do not enter the optimization, so their time differences are not attributed to scalar capture.Neo4096 reverse-order check
Default-off Neo1000 check: 38.986 ms, including-first allocated 5.563756 GB; no scalar-capture kernel in the generated graph. The corresponding BASE is 39.051 ms / 5.563756 GB.
Accuracy
Tolerance: elementwise
abs(diff) <= 1e-5 + 1e-4*abs(reference); all outputs must be finite. Same-frame 3×3 pairings are checked for energy, forces, virial and stress. The table reports max absolute force / virial error (eV/Å / eV); energy/stress are also checked by the supplied comparison script.selfmeans repeated evaluations of the identical frame, not comparisons between different perturbations.Neo4096 errors summarize the worst result over both final-source process pairs; comparisons remain between corresponding frames and within paired runs.
For scale context, Neo4096 virial max-norm-relative error
max(abs(candidate-reference))/max(abs(reference))is 3.94e-07 across branches, versus 3.23e-07 for BASE self-repeat and 3.46e-07 for CSC5 self-repeat. This supplementary metric does not replace the elementwise check above.At Neo4096 the pure Torch reference runs out of memory. BASE already exhibits repeated-run virial variability; the candidate comparison is reported rather than counted as an all-output pass. Nano is an unchanged fallback and also exhibits baseline/Torch repeat variability. These results do not establish deterministic full-model inference.
