Claude review — 3 files changed (all under tests/), all three reviewed in full, plus the surrounding context (DistributedWorkerPool/default_worker_teardown, the five examples/megatron_bridge/*.py entry points, and every run_example_command call site in tests/examples/megatron_bridge/).
Full-scope review (the trigger comment carried no scoping instructions).
Findings — CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 2 · SUGGESTION: 3
Most impactful
-
_use_spawn_for_async_checkpointing()is very likely a no-op (example_runner.py:57).CheckpointConfigis a Megatron-Bridge@dataclass, anddataclassesbakes field defaults into the generated__init__at class-creation time — rebinding the class attribute afterwards does not change whatCheckpointConfig(...)assigns.distill.py:540constructs it without passing the field, so the instance still gets"fork". Worth verifying, because the symptom of the mitigation not applying is theget_write_results_queuedeadlock you already diagnosed — a CI-wide hang, not a test failure — andcontextlib.suppress(Exception)guarantees no signal either way. -
The in-process hook bypasses
run_example_command's HuggingFace transient-error retry (run_command.py:160). The dispatch sits above thefor attempt in range(hf_max_retries + 1)loop, so_HF_TRANSIENT_MARKERS/hf_max_retriesno longer apply to any in-process step.test_prune_minitronpassescalib_dataset_name="cnn_dailymail", i.e. that step does hit the Hub — a 503 that used to retry after 10s now hard-fails the test. A caller-suppliedenvis also silently dropped (latent: no megatron_bridge test passes one today).
The three SUGGESTIONs cover the stdout-only vs. combined-stdout+stderr capture asymmetry between the two modes (so MODELOPT_NO_INPROCESS_EXAMPLES=1 is not quite the behavioural equivalent it is advertised as), _drivable's bare except Exception silently discarding this PR's entire 6x win on any import error, importlib.import_module(<bare stem>) resolving through sys.modules rather than the example dir, and the per-test env restore deleting RANK/WORLD_SIZE/LOCAL_RANK while leaving the process group live.
Assessment — low risk
Test infrastructure only; no modelopt/ source, no public API, no modelopt_state schema, no export path touched. The subprocess path is preserved verbatim as a fallback and behind MODELOPT_NO_INPROCESS_EXAMPLES=1, and the test files themselves are unchanged, so the assertions being validated are the same ones as before.
The isolation work is the strong part of this PR and is unusually well-evidenced — the five leak sources are each named with their observed symptom, and the injected-mid-test-failure cascade check is exactly the right way to validate it rather than assuming.
Two non-blocking notes:
- One caveat on the coverage argument: in subprocess mode the child imports
site-packages/modelopt/...while pytest measuresmodelopt/..., so the "8% to 43%" delta is partly a merge artefact rather than newly-exercised code. The in-process numbers are the accurate ones; the subprocess ones were undercounting. - On 2 GPUs,
test_quantize_export/test_distillmix dispatch within a single test — step 1 uses--nproc_per_node={num_gpus}(pool) while the export step hardcodes--nproc_per_node=1(pytest process). That leaves three CUDA contexts on two devices for the rest of the module, since the pool workers persist;reset_megatron_global_state()releases the allocator caches but not the contexts. Probably fine at these model sizes — just something to keep in mind if the 2-GPU job starts hitting OOM rather than timeouts.
Also note CodeRabbit's open finding on int() in requested_world_size (non-numeric --nproc_per_node=gpu/auto) — I did not duplicate it, but it stands.

Claude review — second pass, scoped to the delta since f0bee03. Full-scope review (the trigger comment carried no scoping instructions).
3 files changed, all under tests/, all reviewed in full, plus context: the four tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_*.py call sites (to see which steps are single- vs multi-rank at num_gpus 1 and 2), run_command.py's _run_capturing/retry path, the five examples/megatron_bridge/*.py entry points and their __main__ blocks, and distill.py's CheckpointConfig(...) construction.
Findings — CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 2 · SUGGESTION: 4
What changed since the last review
9e15fd70 replaced the persistent worker pool with run_torchrun_in_process for multi-rank steps. That is a good simplification, and it retires most of the isolation surface the previous design needed: multi-rank workers are fresh processes again, so AsyncCallsQueue._persistent_caller, the fork mp_mode deadlock and the NVTE_* leakage now only matter on the single-rank path. The trade is that the 2-GPU win shrinks to roughly the launcher's own interpreter — worth reflecting in the PR body, which still describes the pool and still quotes the pool's 26m10 → 23m30.
New this round
-
Module-level megatron imports make the pytest process a megatron/CUDA process at collection time (
example_runner.py:40-46). The autouse session conftest imports this module, so collecting the directory hard-importsmegatron.bridge,megatron.core,megatron.core.dist_checkpointing,rerun_state_machineandtorch.distributed.run. Two consequences:MODELOPT_NO_INPROCESS_EXAMPLES=1no longer restores the previous behaviour (the autouse fixture still callsreset_megatron_global_state()and the imports still happen — only the dispatch is restored), and per the PR body's own note thatimport megatron.bridgeinitialises CUDA, the launcher holds a CUDA context on device 0 for the whole session even on the 2-GPU path where every step runs in torchrun children. Every use site is already inside acontextlib.suppressblock or a single function, so deferring them is nearly free. -
torchrun's signal handlers are never restored (
example_runner.py:201-207).PContext.start()installs_terminate_process_handlerfor SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP/SIGQUIT on the main thread and does not put the previous ones back. A subprocess launcher took its handler table with it on exit; in-process, the first multi-rank step permanently replaces pytest's handlers, so Ctrl-C raisesSignalExceptioninstead ofKeyboardInterruptand pytest's graceful-interrupt path is gone for the rest of the session. Worth confirming against the torch innemo:26.08, but it has been inPContext.start()for many releases. Fix is a four-line save/restore.
The four SUGGESTIONs: the module docstring now contradicts the code ("Multi-rank commands are left alone") and the worker-pool vocabulary survives in four other docstrings; _drivable() gates the multi-rank path that never calls get_args/main, paying a full example-module import in the launcher and giving its bare except Exception veto power over a path it does not describe; --master_port is left at torchrun's fixed default while the rendezvous TCPStore now lives in a long-lived process (setup_free_port=True from test_quantize_and_export is dropped by the dispatch); and run_example_in_process is the only one of the three paths that does not chdir into the example dir.
Still open from the previous round
Both f0bee03 IMPORTANTs land on code this commit did not touch, and the new design changes the blast radius of one of them:
_use_spawn_for_async_checkpointing()is very likely a no-op (example_runner.py:57).CheckpointConfigis a dataclass, so rebinding the class attribute after class creation does not change what__init__assigns;distill.py:540constructs it withasync_save=Trueand without that field. Now scoped to the single-rank path — which is exactly the 1-GPU per-PR runner this PR targets, and wheredistill.pydoes async-save from a CUDA-initialised process. The failure mode is theget_write_results_queuedeadlock you already diagnosed, andcontextlib.suppress(Exception)means no signal either way.- The in-process hook sits above the HF transient-error retry (
run_command.py:160), so_HF_TRANSIENT_MARKERS/hf_max_retriesno longer apply to any in-process step, and a caller-suppliedenvis dropped. This got broader in9e15fd70: multi-rank steps used to keep the retry via the subprocess path and no longer do, which now coverstest_prune_minitron(cnn_dailymail) andtest_prune_minitron_vlm(scienceqa) on the 2-GPU runner.
Also still open: CodeRabbit's int() finding on requested_world_size (--nproc_per_node=gpu/auto raises instead of falling back), and the stdout-only vs combined-stdout+stderr capture asymmetry between _capture_output and the subprocess path.
Assessment — low risk
Test infrastructure only: no modelopt/ source, no public API, no mode registration or modelopt_state schema, no export path. The subprocess implementation is preserved verbatim as the fallback, and there are no test file changes, so the assertions being validated are unchanged.
The isolation work remains the strong part of this PR and is unusually well-evidenced — each leak source named with its observed symptom, and the injected-mid-test-failure cascade check is the right way to validate it rather than assume. Dropping the pool for in-process torchrun was the right call.
One note that is not a finding: on 2 GPUs test_quantize_and_export and test_distill_llm_hf_export mix dispatch within a single test (step 1 multi-rank via torchrun children, the export step --nproc_per_node=1 in the pytest process). Combined with the collection-time megatron import in finding 1, that leaves the launcher holding a context and a live world-size-1 process group alongside the two workers. reset_megatron_global_state() releases the allocator caches but not the context or the pytest process's own process group. Probably fine at these model sizes — worth remembering if the 2-GPU job starts failing on OOM rather than timeouts.

Claude review — fifth pass, full scope (the trigger comment carried no scoping instructions).
4 files changed, all reviewed in full (example_tests.yml, megatron_example_runner.py, run_command.py, megatron_bridge/conftest.py), plus the context they depend on: run_command.py s _run_capturing/retry path, _example_tests_runner.yml (the actual pytest invocation), pyproject.toml addopts, tests/conftest.py timeout config, modelopt/torch/utils/distributed.py (setup/cleanup/abort), the five examples/megatron_bridge/*.py entry points and their __main__ blocks, and every run_example_command call site in tests/examples/megatron_bridge/.
Findings — CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 1 · SUGGESTION: 4
What got fixed since the last pass
239a0712 closed both prior IMPORTANTs and most of the SUGGESTIONs:
setup_free_portis no longer semantically a no-op — every in-process path now provably runs on a free port (what remains is a dead line, not wrong behaviour; see the last SUGGESTION).- Signal handlers are saved/restored on both paths, hoisted into one
_preserved_signal_handlers()used byrun_example_in_processandrun_torchrun_in_process. That closes the asymmetry where the Megatron training loop — the likelier installer — was the unguarded one. get_args()moved inside the capture and theSystemExittranslation, so an argparse drift against the example s real parser now surfaces with its output and goes through the retry classifier instead of escaping as a bareSystemExit: 2.- CodeRabbit s double-attach finding is fixed —
handlednow excludes propagating loggers (root, *(lg for lg in others if not lg.propagate)), with the reasoning in the comment. errors="replace"on the capture tempfile, so a stray non-UTF-8 byte can no longer raiseUnicodeDecodeErrorout of thefinallyand replace the real failure.traceback.format_exc()+e.captured_output— the transient-HF classifier now sees__cause__/__context__and worker output, so the wrappedDatasetGenerationError(ConnectionError)case and the un-@recordedChildFailedErrorcase are both matchable.
The temp-file capture is the right shape: sink is os.dup(1) after the swap, so it shares the open file description with fds 1/2 and tmp — meaning logging-handler writes, print, and native C-extension/worker writes all land at one shared offset and stay correctly interleaved. That is a real improvement over concatenating two buffers, and it is easy to get wrong.
Verified as non-issues this round: dist.abort() s os._exit(1) lives only in the __main__ blocks, never in main() or in modelopt/ — so the in-process path cannot hard-kill the pytest process; prune_minitron.py:737 s sys.exit(1) accuracy gate still fails the test (converted to RuntimeError, and no megatron_bridge test asserts on CalledProcessError); the module body executes before dist.setup() in both paths, matching subprocess ordering; os.pread leaves the write offset alone, so the tailer cannot corrupt tmp.seek(0); the ref-conditional timeout_minutes types correctly (_example_tests_runner.yml declares number) and mirrors the runner: line below it; and the retry path re-enters reset_megatron_global_state() before attempt 2, so a transient failure that died mid-main() does not poison the retry.
Most impactful
The tailer s "live" fd is pytest s own capture file, so neither benefit it was added for reaches CI (megatron_example_runner.py:66-72). live = os.dup(1) is taken before the swap — but under pytest s default --capture=fd, fd 1 was already dup2-ed onto pytest s FDCapture tempfile for the whole test. CI runs python -m pytest tests/examples/<example> --cov with no -s, and addopts does not add one. So a long multi-rank step still shows no progress while it runs, and a job-level timeout_minutes SIGKILL discards pytest s capture buffer exactly as it discards the step tempfile — the docstring s "still leaves the log in the CI output" does not hold for the scenario it names, which is the scenario this PR is about.
To be fair on severity: this is not a regression (_run_capturing s print(line, end="") had the same fate), and it cannot fail a test or produce a false pass. It is IMPORTANT because the previous round s streaming finding was acted on and the fix does not land — and because the tailer thread, pread loop, bounded join and the documented 3m43 to 9m06 pipe experiment are all complexity justified by a benefit that does not exist under this project s own invocation. Cheapest fix is -s/--capture=no for this suite in _example_tests_runner.yml, which makes the docstring true as written; if surviving a job-level kill is the actual goal, only teeing to a workspace path and uploading it as an artifact gets there. Otherwise trimming the claim to what the tailer does deliver is fine.
The four SUGGESTIONs
signal.signal(sig, None)raisesTypeErrorfrom afinally—getsignal()returnsNonefor a C-installed handler, and that exception would replace the step s real failure, the same masking hazardreset_megatron_global_state()deliberately avoids. One-condition fix.- The fd swap sits before the
try, so a raise in the setup below (line 97 iteratingloggerDictwhile a background thread callsgetLogger(), givingRuntimeError: dictionary changed size) leaves fds 1/2 pointed at a tempfile thewiththen closes — silently killing stdout/stderr for the rest of the session. - A misplaced comment: "torchrun s PContext installs handlers for these" now sits above
_TAIL_INTERVAL_Sinstead of_LAUNCHER_SIGNALS. - The
os.environ["MASTER_PORT"]sync is dead for both in-process paths and its comment describes a read that never happens.
Two items raised in earlier rounds are still open and I have not re-posted them inline, since they are benign and already on record: pre-existing StreamHandler(sys.stderr) objects keep writing to fd 2 (now the tempfile) alongside the new handler, so records land in the captured string more than once — harmless for test_distill_validate_only s substring assertions, but a hazard if any assertion ever counts lines; and the unreachable assert result is not None plus run_example_command s -> str | None annotation are the last places advertising the silent-subprocess fallback that c70f7fd9 removed on purpose.
Assessment — low risk
Test infrastructure only: no modelopt/ source, no public API, no mode registration or modelopt_state schema, no export path. Test files are unchanged, so the assertions being validated are the same ones as before, and the single IMPORTANT is about what you can see when something goes wrong in CI — not about whether the tests test the right thing.
The isolation work remains the strongest part of this PR, and the evidence standard is unusually high for a CI change: five leak sources each named with the symptom that exposed them, both convention guards verified by deliberately breaking them, and an injected-mid-test-failure cascade check rather than an assumption that state does not leak. The ~6x single-GPU win on the per-PR runner is real, well-measured, and the coverage caveat is honestly stated.
One note that is not a finding: run_torchrun_in_process does not call reset_megatron_global_state() before spawning workers. Today that is fine — every multi-step test puts its multi-rank steps first, so the pytest process is never holding a model when torchrun children need the device. Worth remembering if a future test interleaves the other way, since the parent s allocator cache would then be competing with the workers for device 0.

Claude review — sixth pass, full scope (the trigger comment carried no scoping instructions).
4 files changed, all reviewed in full (.github/workflows/example_tests.yml, tests/_test_utils/examples/megatron_example_runner.py, tests/_test_utils/examples/run_command.py, tests/examples/megatron_bridge/conftest.py), plus the context they depend on: run_command.py's _run_capturing and retry loop, all four tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_*.py call sites, modelopt/torch/utils/distributed.py (setup/cleanup/abort), tests/_test_utils/torch/distributed/utils.py, and the five examples/megatron_bridge/*.py entry points including the main() bodies that call dist.cleanup() mid-run.
Findings — CRITICAL: 0 · IMPORTANT: 0 · SUGGESTION: 3
What cdb70ca0 closed
Both of the last pass's items and all four SUGGESTIONs are resolved:
- The tailer is gone. That was the right call rather than the alternative fix. The finding was that
live = os.dup(1)resolves to pytest's ownFDCapturetempfile under this project's own invocation, so neither streaming nor SIGKILL-survival ever reached CI — removing the thread, thepreadloop and the boundedjoinretires that complexity instead of adding-sto justify it. The docstring now states plainly what the buffered capture does and does not give you, including why streaming for real was rejected (3m43 to 9m06). signal.signal(sig, None)can no longer raise out of afinally— guarded byif handler is not None, with the C-installed-handler reason inline.- The fd swap moved inside the
try, with a comment naming the exact consequence it prevents (fds 1/2 left pointing at a tempfile thewiththen closes).loggerDictis now iterated underlogging._lock, so theRuntimeError: dictionary changed sizepath that motivated it is closed at the source too. - The misplaced
_LAUNCHER_SIGNALScomment and the deadMASTER_PORTline are both fixed;setup_free_portnow carries an accurate 'subprocess steps only' note.
Verified as non-issues this round
- The temp-file capture is correct in the details that are easy to get wrong.
sinkisos.dup(1)taken after the swap, so it shares the open file description with fds 1/2 andtmp— handler writes,print, and native C-extension/worker writes land at one shared offset and stay interleaved. Teardown order is right:removeHandler, restore levels,sink.close()(flush), restore fds,tmp.seek(0). - The
levels/handledsplit is right, and its comment is not contradictory on a careful read: {has handlers} union {non-propagating} for levels, {root} union {non-propagating} for the handler. A propagating logger with its own handler needs its level lowered but not the handler attached, which is what the code does. dist.cleanup()insidemain().distill.py:588andexport_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py:272destroy the process group mid-main()soexport_ckptcan build its own. The runner'sif not dist.is_initialized()handles this correctly in both directions, anddist.setup()callstorch.cuda.set_device(local_rank())before the init guard, so a re-setup always re-pins the device.dist.abort()'sos._exitpath stays out of reach — it lives only in__main__, which the in-process path does not execute, so a failing step cannot hard-kill the pytest process.- The two autouse fixtures compose correctly (definition order gives runner-install then state-reset, teardown in reverse), and
_test_utils/torch/distributed/utils.pyimports no megatron, so the lazy-import rationale in the module docstring actually holds. - Multi-rank steps cannot inherit stale launch vars into workers:
LocalElasticAgentoverridesRANK/WORLD_SIZE/LOCAL_RANK/MASTER_*per worker, so theRANK=0/WORLD_SIZE=1a single-rank step leaves inos.environis inert. - The CI change:
_example_tests_runner.ymltypestimeout_minutesasnumber, so the&& 30 || 75expression resolves, and the ref predicate mirrors therunner:line directly below it. 75 against a measured 58 is a reasonable margin. - No test in this directory passes
env=, none asserts onCalledProcessError, and every step istorchrun --nproc_per_node=<int> <script>.py— so both convention guards are satisfiable by construction today.
The three SUGGESTIONs
All three are latent-by-verification: I traced each to a concrete reachable site and confirmed it does not fire today.
sink.close()leaves a closed-stream cliff for anything that capturedsys.stdoutduring a step.modelopt/torch/puzzletron/tools/logger.py:117is the exact idiom (logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)at module level, on apropagate = Falselogger); it happens to be imported atdistill.pymodule scope, which runs from_require_drivablebefore the capture, so it binds to real stdout.

Needs single-rank-then-multi-rank in one test, which no test does (the mixed tests go multi to single). One line, and the cost of it being wrong lands on the nightly where worker 0 shares device 0 with the launcher.
Assessment — low risk
Test infrastructure only: no modelopt/ source, no public API, no mode registration, no modelopt_state schema, no export path. The test files and their assertions are unchanged, so the set of claims being validated is identical to before. I looked specifically for a false-pass path — a step whose failure the runner could swallow — and did not find one: SystemExit with a non-zero code becomes RuntimeError, prune_minitron.py:737's accuracy gate still fails the test, ChildFailedError propagates out of torchrun_main(), and the retry classifier only ever converts a raise into another attempt, never into a pass.
The convention guards are what make the speed-up durable rather than a one-time measurement, and verifying them by deliberately breaking each one — rather than asserting they work — is the right standard. Same for the isolation work: five leak sources each named with the symptom that exposed it, and an injected mid-test failure to prove the cascade is contained. The tailer removal is a good outcome for the previous round, since the honest resolution of that finding was to delete the complexity rather than add a flag that made the claim true.
No blocking issues found. LGTM.

the single GPU optimizations seem worth it, but the multi GPU optimizations only save maybe 20% of time while adding more code. Is it necessary to add the multi GPU torch run optimizations? Many of these optimizations are complex and will be hard to maintain

why is there a local IP address set here?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It is the rendezvous address for the process group, not a service bind.
dist.setup() calls torch.distributed.init_process_group, which requires MASTER_ADDR/MASTER_PORT in the environment. Normally torchrun sets them for each worker it launches; this path has no launcher, since the step runs directly in the pytest process, so nothing else would provide them. 127.0.0.1 is loopback and the group here is a single rank on this host (WORLD_SIZE=1 on the line below), so it never leaves the machine.
tests/_test_utils/torch/distributed/utils.py:36,138 does the same thing with "localhost" for the same reason. Happy to switch to "localhost" for consistency if you prefer — the only reason I used the literal is that it avoids a DNS lookup, but the existing helpers are the better precedent to match.
Per-PR 1-gpu is the main bottleneck. Nightly multi-gpu run is anyways run once everyday so even if its not optimzied, its fine. Combined with the Qwen3/3.5 VL export PR, the per PR megatron bridge example test is even slower and that blocks adding new tests to the CI coverage Originally I was hoping this would work for 2-gpu also but it didnt. Given 1-gpu optimization is more critical, I will leave 2-gpu optimiziation for future |
Each step of an example test spawns `torchrun`, and the new process spends ~25s importing
torch/megatron/modelopt before doing any work. A single `test_qad` run pays that six
times: three steps plus a spawned child per distributed checkpoint save, because
Megatron-Core's async writer uses `mp_mode="spawn"` and spawn re-imports `__main__`.
Profiling put ~76% of that test in imports and ~5s in actual compute.
Steps now run in the pytest process (single rank) or in a pool of persistent workers
(multi-rank), driving the script's own `get_args()` + `main()`. Going through the real
argument parser keeps CLI flags and recipe strings covered; the `torchrun` invocation and
the `__main__` block (`dist.setup()` / `dist.abort()`) are not. Test files are untouched --
`run_example_command` dispatches internally -- and `MODELOPT_NO_INPROCESS_EXAMPLES=1`
restores the old path.
tests/examples/megatron_bridge, 1 GPU: 21m27 -> 3m42
tests/examples/megatron_bridge, 2 GPU: 26m10 -> 23m30
The 2-GPU gain is small: Megatron-Bridge tears down the process group it owns when a run
ends, so each multi-rank step has to rebuild one, which gives back most of what the pool
saves. The win is the single-GPU path, which is what the PR runner uses.
Sharing one interpreter means anything global has to be put back between steps, or a
failure cascades. Five things needed handling, each of which `torchrun` used to clean up
by exiting:
- Transformer-Engine records its attention backend in `NVTE_*`, so a Mamba hybrid failed
after an attention model ran; the environment is restored wholesale.
- `empty_cache()` frees nothing while a finished step's model is still reachable, and a
later test ran ~9x slower against a fragmented allocator; `gc.collect()` first.
- Megatron's rerun state machine is a separate singleton from the parallel state.
- `CheckpointConfig.async_write_results_mp_mode` defaults to `"fork"`, and forking a
process that already owns CUDA/NCCL deadlocks in `get_write_results_queue`.
- `AsyncCallsQueue._persistent_caller` is a class attribute, so its worker process
outlived the step that started it.
Verified that a failing test does not cascade: injecting a failure mid-test (after a model
was built and parallel state left live) gives 1 failed, 2 passed, with the survivors at
full speed. Coverage of the exercised code improves, since the work now happens in the
measured process rather than a subprocess whose data lands under a different path --
`unified_export_megatron.py` goes from 8% to 43%.

Multi-rank steps went to a pool of persistent workers. Reusing a worker means reusing a
CUDA/NCCL-initialised process, and Megatron-Bridge is not built for that: it forks a
`multiprocessing.Manager()` for async checkpoint writes (deadlocks after CUDA init), keeps
the async caller in a class attribute (so it outlives the step), and tears down the
process group it owns at the end of a run (so the next step finds a dead group). Working
around each of those bought ~10% locally and, on CI hardware under coverage, was slow
enough that most 2-GPU tests hit their per-test caps.
Megatron-Bridge's own functional tests take a simpler line: call
`torch.distributed.run.main()` with a patched `sys.argv` rather than shelling out.
torchrun still spawns fresh workers, so none of the reuse problems arise, and only the
launcher's interpreter is saved -- but multi-rank steps were never where the win was.
Single-rank steps still run directly in the pytest process, which is where the ~25s of
imports per step actually disappears.
tests/examples/megatron_bridge, 1 GPU: 21m27 -> 3m42 (unchanged by this commit)
tests/examples/megatron_bridge, 2 GPU: 26m10 -> 20m55 (was 23m30, and timing out on CI)
This deletes the worker pool, the per-step process group rebuild, and the two
async-checkpoint workarounds that only existed to make worker reuse survivable.

The in-process dispatch sat above `run_example_command`'s retry loop, so those steps lost
its transient-HuggingFace retries -- and these tests do reach the Hub
(`calib_dataset_name="cnn_dailymail"`), where a 503 would now hard-fail instead of being
retried. Dispatch moved inside the loop; a non-transient failure re-raises with its own
traceback rather than being flattened into `CalledProcessError`. A caller-supplied `env`
warns and takes the subprocess path, since the in-process runner uses the ambient
environment and would otherwise drop it silently.
`_use_spawn_for_async_checkpointing` is removed: `CheckpointConfig` is a dataclass, so
assigning the class attribute never reached instances (verified -- a constructed config
still reported `"fork"`). It guarded a deadlock that only worker reuse could hit, and
worker reuse is gone.
Capture now redirects stderr as well, so the captured text matches the subprocess path,
which combines both streams -- otherwise `MODELOPT_NO_INPROCESS_EXAMPLES=1` was not the
equivalence it is documented to be.
Example scripts load under a namespaced module name instead of a bare top-level one, so
they cannot collide with an unrelated `quantize`/`distill` module or linger in
`sys.modules` under a generic name, and a script that cannot be imported now warns before
falling back -- silently reverting to the slow path was the one failure this change should
never hide.
Multi-rank steps no longer import the script into the launcher just to test drivability
(torchrun imports it in fresh children), `--nproc_per_node=gpu|auto` falls back instead of
raising, the single-rank path runs with the example directory as cwd like the other two,
torchrun gets a free `--master_port` rather than trusting the default to be free, and its
signal handlers are restored -- `PContext.start()` installs its own and never puts them
back, which would break pytest's Ctrl-C and CI cancellation for the rest of the session.
Megatron and `torch.distributed.run` are imported lazily again: this module is imported at
collection, and `import megatron.bridge` initialises CUDA, so hoisting them left the
pytest process holding a context on device 0 all session -- including on the 2-GPU path,
where every step runs under torchrun and the launcher needs megatron for nothing.

The nightly runs every megatron_bridge example test on 2 GPUs and finished in 58 minutes against a 60-minute cap, which is too close to be reliable. Raise the nightly budget to 75 minutes while keeping the single-GPU PR job at 30, so full multi-GPU coverage is preserved without loosening the PR gate.

The runner drives example scripts and plugs into run_command.py, so it belongs in tests/_test_utils/examples/ alongside the other per-example helpers. The two remaining files under tests/_test_utils/torch/megatron/ both import megatron at module top; this one deliberately does not, since importing megatron.bridge initialises CUDA in the pytest process. Also remove MODELOPT_NO_INPROCESS_EXAMPLES so the in-process path is the only option. Steps still fall back to a subprocess structurally when a script has no get_args()/main() or the world size is not a plain integer.

Every step in the suite is torchrun --nproc_per_node=<int> <script>.py, with the script exposing get_args() + main(). Previously a step that broke that returned None and silently ran as a subprocess -- still passing, only ~6x slower, so a new script or test could quietly cost the suite its speed-up unnoticed. run_example_step now returns str rather than str | None and raises instead, and _require_drivable no longer swallows the import error behind a warning.

- Install the in-process runner per test rather than per session. The hook is a module-global in run_command, and this runner raises rather than falling back, so a session-scoped install broke any other example suite collected later in the same session (pytest tests/examples). - Let the transient-HuggingFace retry see what the step printed. str(e) is only the outermost exception, and ChildFailedError carries the worker's traceback only when the entrypoint is decorated with @record, which the examples are not -- so a 503 inside a worker matched no marker and never retried. - Capture fd-level output for single-rank steps too, so the returned string really does match the subprocess path as documented; native writes from NCCL and C extensions bypass redirect_stdout. - Bind the capture buffer in the caller, so a failure entering the capture context cannot raise NameError from the finally and mask the real error. Signed-off-by: Keval Morabia <28916987+kevalmorabia97@users.noreply.github.com>
- Classify transient failures on traceback.format_exc() rather than str(e). Most markers are exception type names that only appear in a formatted traceback, and a Hub ConnectionError typically surfaces wrapped in a DatasetGenerationError, so single-rank retries never fired. - Tee captured output through a pipe instead of buffering it to a temp file. A job-level timeout SIGKILLs the runner without running any finally, which lost every line of exactly the log needed to explain the timeout. - Fold the two capture managers into one, so Python-level writes, log records and fd-level writes land in a single ordered stream rather than two concatenated transcripts. Under pytest's fd capture sys.stdout/sys.stderr are objects over pytest's own temp file, so both a redirect and an fd swap are needed to see everything. - Assert the in-process runner returned output instead of branching on a None that run_example_step can no longer produce.

Capturing fds through a pipe cost the 1-GPU suite 3m43 -> 9m06 and the CI test step 643s -> 833s: a pipe applies backpressure to whoever writes fd 1/2, and a step's native output far exceeds any pipe size, so raising it to 1MB changed nothing. Bisected by taking the temp-file version and swapping only that, which moved one test 24.7s -> 84.3s. The pipe existed so a job-level timeout, which SIGKILLs the runner without running any finally, would not lose the log. A tailer thread gives that back without the backpressure: writes go to the temp file at full speed and new bytes are echoed to the untouched fd every 200ms, so whatever has been produced is already in the CI log when the job is killed. Also from review: - Apply setup_free_port on the in-process path. env is a copy, so the fresh port never reached the runner, and MASTER_PORT was setdefault-ed onto whatever a previous suite had left -- binding an occupied port blocks in rendezvous until timeout rather than failing fast. - Preserve signal handlers on the single-rank path too, via a shared helper. It runs a whole training loop in the pytest process, so it is likelier to install its own handlers than torchrun's launcher, which was already guarded. - Run get_args() inside the capture and the SystemExit translation, so a flag that has drifted from the example's parser reports the script and its output instead of raising a bare SystemExit past the runner. - Accept the space-separated --nproc_per_node form torchrun also takes. Signed-off-by: Keval Morabia <28916987+kevalmorabia97@users.noreply.github.com>
- Remove the tailer thread. It echoed to os.dup(1), which under pytest's default fd capture is pytest's own capture file, not the job's stdout -- verified by reading /proc/self/fd/1 under pytest (a deleted temp file) and with -s (the real stream). So it gave neither live progress nor a log surviving a job-level SIGKILL, the two things it was added for. The caller prints the captured text instead, which pytest shows for a failing test. - Move the fd swap inside the try. A raise between the swap and the restore left fds 1/2 pointing at a temp file the with-block then closed, silently sinking the rest of the session's output. - Snapshot loggerDict under the logging lock, since any getLogger() from a background thread mutates it mid-iteration. - Skip restoring a signal handler that reads back as None: it was installed from C, signal.signal() rejects it, and raising from the finally would mask the step's real failure. - Drop the MASTER_PORT sync added last round. It was dead: the in-process runner picks its own free port and torchrun injects its own --master_port. Signed-off-by: Keval Morabia <28916987+kevalmorabia97@users.noreply.github.com>
- Keep one long-lived sink for the process and move its fd per step, instead of a per-step stream closed on exit. The common module-level logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout) binds to the sink while a step runs and outlives it in sys.modules, so closing it would leave every later record raising through handleError. Latent today only because the one such handler in reach is imported before the capture is entered. - Keep sys.argv patched across main(), not just get_args(). Nothing in these five examples reads it after parsing, but modelopt's own MLflow helpers record sys.argv as the reproducible invocation, and an example growing one would have silently recorded pytest's. - Reset megatron global state before torchrun spawns workers, so a preceding single-rank step cannot leave device 0 occupied while worker 0 claims it. - Name the assertion that depends on the log-level boost, and state that the capture is a superset of what a torchrun user sees.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: Test infrastructure / CI time
tests/examples/megatron_bridgespends most of its time importing Python, not testing. Each step ofa test spawns
torchrun, and the new process spends ~25s importing torch/megatron/modeloptbefore doing any work. A single
test_qadrun pays that six times — three steps, plus a spawnedchild per distributed checkpoint save, because Megatron-Core's async writer uses
mp_mode="spawn"and spawn re-imports
__main__.Profiled with phase timers in the example scripts:
test_qad[qwen3]mtq.quantize4.2s, model build 0.24s, export 0.06s)run_example_commandnow dispatches each step internally instead of shelling out:get_args()+main()— no new interpreter, no re-import;torch.distributed.run.main()in-process with patchedsys.argv,the same pattern Megatron-Bridge uses in its own functional tests.
Results
tests/examples/megatron_bridge, 1 GPUtests/examples/megatron_bridge, 2 GPUBoth figures are on current
main(17 tests). The 2-GPU number is up from 20m41 before merging#2276, which added a test and made one previously single-rank step multi-rank.
The 1-GPU figure is a range, not a best case. Across ten runs on a verified-idle box the suite
lands at ~4m most of the time and at ~6m otherwise, always with the same result (17 passed).
Per-test durations show the entire spread is one test:
test_qad[qwen3]runs at ~15s or at ~149s.It is 25s in isolation, 15s after
test_distill.pyand ~25s aftertest_prune_minitron.py, so itneeds the full sequence and does not reproduce on demand — three attempts to catch it under
instrumentation all landed on fast runs. In those, CUDA state immediately before it is 46 MiB
allocated / 68 MiB reserved / 7 segments / 22 MiB inactive-split, and the preceding test's 498/984
MiB is fully reclaimed, so a fragmented allocator is measured not to be the cause in the fast
path at least. Left documented rather than guessed at: correctness is unaffected across every run,
and the worst case sits inside the 30-minute PR budget (CI
Run tests902s).The single-GPU path is the big win, and it is the one the per-PR runner uses — that job now
finishes in 8 minutes in CI. Multi-rank steps still launch worker processes that re-import, so
the 2-GPU nightly improves far less.
This also fixes the timeouts under coverage. With
--cov(how CI runs it), on the same three tests:in-process 3 passed in 1m15, subprocess 3 failed on
Timeout (>360.0s)in 18m57.CI timeout
The 2-GPU nightly runs every test multi-GPU and measured 58 minutes against a 60-minute cap —
too close to be reliable.
timeout_minutesis now ref-conditional, mirroring therunnerlinedirectly below it: 30 minutes on PRs (single-GPU, ~8 min) and 75 on nightly.
Keeping the nightly at full multi-GPU coverage is deliberate. Making individual tests single-rank
cut it to ~7 minutes, but it gives up the parallel-path coverage that is the whole point of the
2-GPU job, and it surfaced a real fragility:
test_prune_minitron[nemotron_h]fails with"No scores collected for importance estimation" when it runs single-rank after the full distill
file. It passes alone and after any single preceding test — multi-rank tests are immune because
torchrungives them fresh worker processes. Nightly is the right place to spend the wall-clock.What is and isn't covered
Each script's real
get_args()still runs, so CLI flags, defaults and recipe-string resolution staycovered. Not covered for single-rank steps: the
torchruninvocation itself and the__main__block (
dist.setup()/dist.abort()). Multi-rank steps still go through the real launcher.No test file changes. The tests still read as "launch this torchrun command" and their
assertions are untouched.
Keeping it that way
There is no toggle and no fallback. Every step in this suite must be
torchrun --nproc_per_node=<int> <script>.pywith the script exposingget_args()+main(), andrun_example_stepraises otherwise — it returnsstr, notstr | None, so a step cannot quietlybecome a subprocess. That matters because a silent fallback still passes, just ~6x slower, so a
new script or test could cost the suite its speed-up with nothing to show for it.
Both guards verified by breaking them on purpose, each failing in ~1.4s rather than burning a run:
--nproc_per_node=gpuAssertionError: --nproc_per_node must be a plain integer: [...]generate_vllm.py(noget_args)AssertionError: generate_vllm.py must define get_args() and main(args)Layout
The runner lives in
tests/_test_utils/examples/megatron_example_runner.py, next to therun_command.pyit plugs into and the other per-example helpers. It is deliberately not undertests/_test_utils/torch/megatron/: both files there import megatron at module top, whereas thisone must not, since importing
megatron.bridgewould initialise CUDA in the pytest process and holda context on device 0 for the whole session.
Isolation
Sharing one interpreter means anything global has to be put back between steps, or one failing test
cascades into the next. Each of these was previously cleaned up by
torchrunsimply exiting:NVTE_*— Transformer-Engine records its chosen attention backend in the environment, so aMamba hybrid failed after an attention model ran. The environment is restored wholesale rather
than by naming variables.
empty_cache()frees nothing while a finished step's model is still reachable; alater test ran 9x slower (162s vs 18s) against a fragmented allocator until
gc.collect()wasadded first.
destroy_model_parallel()does not touch the latter.
PContext.start()installs its ownSIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP/SIGQUIThandlers and never restores them. With a subprocess launcher, process exit did that for us;
in-process they are saved and put back, or pytest's Ctrl-C and CI cancellation would break for the
rest of the session.
Verified rather than assumed: injecting a failure mid-test (after a model was built and parallel
state left live) gives 1 failed, 2 passed, with the surviving tests at full speed.
Coverage
Coverage of the exercised code improves. In subprocess mode the child imports modelopt as
site-packages/modelopt/...while pytest measuresmodelopt/..., so the data never merges — whichis also why the subprocess report showed exactly double the statement count.
