#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Cut the per-step Python cost of building GDN attention metadata. Sampling the TP worker shows 13% of a decode step is host time with the GPU idle, and a third of that -- about 1.5 ms of every 35 ms -- is one function: `GDNAttentionMetadataBuilder.build`. It is not doing anything expensive; it is a long chain of individually cheap torch ops, each paying full dispatch, to derive quantities that in a steady-state decode batch hardly change. Three changes, all value-preserving: * The request-count bookkeeping runs on CPU tensors -- a mask, an advanced index, a sum and an `.item()`, then the same mask built a second time -- which is five dispatches to reduce a vector with one entry per request. numpy over the same buffer gives the same integers for a fraction of the cost, and `torch.from_numpy` hands the mask back without a copy. * `torch.arange` and `torch.empty(0)` are re-allocated (and the arange re-launched) every step for values that depend on nothing but their length. Both are read exactly once, by the `copy_` into the builder's persistent cudagraph buffers, so a cached arange sliced to length is indistinguishable. * `block_table_tensor[spec_sequence_masks_cpu, :num_spec+1]` gathers rows by a boolean mask. In the steady-state decode batch every sequence is a spec decode, so the mask selects every row and a slice has the same values without the gather or its allocation. Guarded on the cudagraph branch being the consumer, because that consumer is a `copy_` and does not care that a slice is strided where a gather would have been contiguous. `query_lens` is also moved inside the branch that uses it, so the common path stops launching a subtraction kernel for a tensor it discards. Set `RADIANCE_GDN_META=0` to fall back to the stock path.
