GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Modified FP8 quantization logic in load_weights_fused_qkv_linear by removing 6x scaling factors from KV scale construction. Changed KV scale values from [1.0, max(k_scale) * 6.0, max(v_scale) * 6.0] to [1.0, max(k_scale), max(v_scale)] across two function occurrences, along with removal of associated comments explaining the prior scaling rationale.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
FP8 Quantization Scaling Adjustment
tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/linear.py
Removed 6x scaling factor from KV scale construction in two load_weights_fused_qkv_linear function calls; removed comments referencing amax/(6*448) rationale

Learning: In tensorrt_llm/lora_manager.py, when calculating part_sizes for attn_qkv fused LoRA modules, the sizes are correctly multiplied by tp_size because model_config.num_heads and model_config.num_kv_heads are already divided by tp_size (per-TP-rank values), so multiplication is needed to get the original full concatenated dimension size. The interleave_fused_lora_weights_for_tp function provides proper validation with asserts for total size and TP divisibility.

Timestamp: 2025-08-27T16:59:12.325Z
Learning: In FP8 quantized linear layers, bias should be kept in high precision (typically float32) rather than being quantized to FP8 or cast to half precision, as bias is added after the matrix multiplication and high precision bias helps maintain numerical accuracy.

Timestamp: 2025-12-19T06:31:54.973Z
Learning: In tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/transform/library/fuse_rope_attention.py, the cast to torch.float16 for qkv_node before creating the AttentionPlugin is intentional and required because DriveOS LLM expects float16 dtype specifically. This should not be changed to preserve original dtype or made configurable for bfloat16 models in the DriveOS LLM ONNX export path.

Learning: In tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py, DoRA (Delta Orthogonal Rank Adaptation) functionality was removed from the PyTorch flow to eliminate issues with inverted DoRA detection logic. The original is_dora condition was checking if scaling_vec_pointer == 0, which was potentially incorrect.

579-583: KV scale update looks correct.

The updated KV scale construction is consistent and keeps inv_kv_scales in sync.


1092-1097: NVFP4 KV scale update looks correct.

Mirrors the FP8 path change without introducing new issues.
