[Question]: CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered when running benchmark_e2e.py

[lepangdan]

Describe the bug

Hi,
I am running into an issue when executing
python experiments/benchmarks/benchmark_e2e.py --attn_type minference_with_dense --context_window 1_000_000
The error is:

RuntimeError: CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered
CUDA kernel errors might be asynchronously reported at some other API call, so the stacktrace below might be incorrect.
For debugging consider passing CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1.
Compile with TORCH_USE_CUDA_DSA to enable device-side assertions.

Then, I tried setting CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1, and I got the error info
RuntimeError: Triton Error [CUDA]: an illegal memory access was encountered

Would you be able to provide any guidance on the possible causes of this error, or suggest debugging steps? Thanks in advance!

Hi @lepangdan, thanks for your feedback. This issue seems to be caused by insufficient hardware resources.

Could you please provide details about the type of GPU you are using and the size of your CPU memory?

Additionally, if you need to test with 1M tokens (or any inputs exceeding 200K) within an 80GB GPU memory, you need to enable the --kv_cache_cpu option. Please refer to the https://github.com/microsoft/MInference/tree/main/experiments#end-to-end-benchmark for guidance.

And are you able to run inference for 100K or 500K tokens without issues? Please try the following scripts:

# For 1M tokens
python experiments/benchmarks/benchmark_e2e.py --attn_type minference_with_dense --context_window  1_000_000 --kv_cache_cpu

# For 100K tokens
python experiments/benchmarks/benchmark_e2e.py --attn_type minference_with_dense --context_window  100_000 

# For 500K tokens
python experiments/benchmarks/benchmark_e2e.py --attn_type minference_with_dense --context_window  500_000 --kv_cache_cpu

Let us know the results so we can further diagnose the issue.

Hi @iofu728

Additional information:

1. No error occurs when running hf mode python experiments/benchmarks/benchmark_e2e.py --attn_type hf --context_window 50_000
2. No error occurs when I try to reproduce the script in other posts about "PassManager::run failed" in https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/101368#issue-1709080902， RuntimeError: PassManager::run failed / error: 'tt.reduce' op inferred type(s)... triton-lang/triton#1672 (comment)

I wonder if the version of packages matters. I am not certain, do you have any information on this?

Loooooook forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.

[lepangdan]

@iofu728 Add more test results for your information： hf and minference runs as expected. However minference_with_dense mode is always reporting the error: 'RuntimeError: PassManager::run failed.' Is it possible that something might be wrong in the code under minference_with_dense mode, perhaps as indicated by the error trace in flash_attn_triton.py?
