HAMi hooks `cuMemGetInfo` and returns vGPU memory quota to applications.
Each thread will pre‑reserve `0.92` (default value of `FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use`) of the reported GPU memory.

1. The first thread occupies most of the vGPU memory quota.
2. Subsequent threads also try to reserve 92% of reported memory and quickly run out of vGPU quota.
3. Internal Paddle GPU sanity check fails, raises `SIGABRT` and generates core_dump instead of throwing normal CUDA OOM exception.

Project-HAMi HAMi issue 2375 Paddle threadlocal coredump cuMemGetInfo FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use

💡 Result:

There is no direct public issue with the exact number 2375 in the Project-HAMi repository related to PaddlePaddle and cuMemGetInfo. However, the keywords you mentioned correspond to recurring technical challenges involving GPU memory virtualization in containerized environments. 1. The Context of cuMemGetInfo and HAMi: Project-HAMi uses a library (libvgpu) that intercepts CUDA API calls, including cuMemGetInfo, to enforce memory limits within Kubernetes containers [1][2]. Issues often arise because standard frameworks (like PaddlePaddle, PyTorch, or vLLM) expect to query physical GPU memory, while HAMi reports "clamped" virtual memory [1][2]. In some cases, frameworks pass null pointers to cuMemGetInfo or fail when the reported free memory is insufficient, which can lead to segmentation faults or application crashes (coredumps) [3][2][4]. 2. FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use and PaddlePaddle: This is a native PaddlePaddle flag used to manage its internal GPU memory pool [5][6]. When set, PaddlePaddle allocates an initial fraction of the GPU memory rather than the whole device [5]. Historically, users have encountered coredumps or "Cannot allocate GPU memory" errors when: - The GPU memory is already occupied or restricted by another process (e.g., a vGPU layer or other containers) [7][8]. - The memory requested by the model exceeds the pre-allocated pool size, forcing PaddlePaddle to attempt standard CUDA allocations that conflict with memory isolation settings [6]. 3. Synthesis: If you are experiencing a coredump involving these components, it is likely due to an interaction where PaddlePaddle's memory allocator (controlled by FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use) behaves unexpectedly when it perceives a restricted memory environment enforced by HAMi [7][6]. If HAMi's interception of cuMemGetInfo is not handling specific calls—such as those with null arguments or those occurring during initialization—a coredump can occur [2]. Recommendations: - Check for NULL arguments: Ensure the version of HAMi-core you are using is up to date, as issues regarding null pointers in cuMemGetInfo have been identified and patched in similar projects [2]. - Adjust Flags: If you are hitting memory limits, consider tuning FLAGS_initial_gpu_memory_in_mb or FLAGS_reallocate_gpu_memory_in_mb alongside FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use to give PaddlePaddle more explicit control over its pool size [7][5][6]. - Environment Isolation: Verify the GPU visibility and isolation (e.g., using CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES) to ensure PaddlePaddle is only attempting to bind to the memory slice specifically allocated to your container [7][8].

The Rust 2024 Edition was planned for release in the second half of 2024 [1]. As of September 4, 2026, it is the most recent edition following the Rust 2015, 2018, and 2021 editions [1]. Rust editions are a mechanism used to introduce backwards-incompatible changes while maintaining compatibility with older releases [2][3]. They are opt-in and configured per-crate in the Cargo.toml file [2][4]. The Rust project aims to release new editions approximately every three years to balance language evolution with the goal of minimizing churn [1]. Development for the 2024 edition included a call for proposals issued in late 2023, with an implementation milestone target of late May 2024 to prepare for the release [3][1].

Scope the allocator mechanism to tested versions.

Issue 2375 reports one workload with FLAGS_allocator_strategy=thread_local; it does not establish per-thread 0.92 reservations or the SIGABRT mechanism. Paddle documentation only defines the 0.92 default and initial allocation behavior. Qualify these statements as observed behavior and add tested PaddlePaddle/HAMi versions in both documents.

Project-HAMi HAMi issue 2375 Paddle threadlocal coredump GPU memory pool

💡 Result:

There is no specific record of a "HAMi issue 2375" related to Paddle, threadlocal, coredumps, or GPU memory pools. Based on the available documentation and issue trackers for Project-HAMi and HAMi-core, technical issues involving coredumps and GPU memory management are typically tracked under separate, lower-numbered issues [1][2][3]. Recent technical investigations in HAMi-core have identified several bugs that lead to memory-related crashes, which may be relevant to your query: 1. Uninitialized Device ID in CUDA Hooks: A known bug exists where cuMemCreate and other hooks read an uninitialized device variable when an allocation is not explicitly tied to a CUDA device (e.g., CU_MEM_LOCATION_TYPE_HOST_NUMA used by frameworks like llama.cpp). This causes the code to use garbage memory as a device ID, leading to illegal memory access or crashes [1][4]. 2. Spurious OOMs from Accounting Mismatches: In multi-vGPU containers, if CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES does not start with the container's physical device 0, the internal task monitoring (set_task_pid) can fail to track processes correctly. This mismatch causes the system to aggregate memory usage into the wrong device accounting slot, often triggering a "spurious" Device 0 Out-of-Memory (OOM) error [3]. 3. General Segmentation Faults: Various segmentation faults (core dumps) have been reported when using HAMi-core's libvgpu.so with high-level frameworks like PyTorch or vLLM [5][6]. These are often associated with how the library hooks into CUDA runtime APIs and manages shared GPU memory limits [7][8]. If you are encountering a specific crash, it is recommended to check the HAMi-core repository issue tracker directly, as the numbering for issues in the main Project-HAMi repository is much lower (currently below 2000) [9][10]. If you have identified issue 2375 in a different context, please verify the repository or project URL.

Limit the CoreDump guarantee to the documented allocator failure mode.

In both English and Chinese documents, state that the shared pool prevents the thread_local allocator’s vGPU-quota pre-allocation failure. Do not state that it eliminates every CoreDump. The documented workaround confirms that CoreDump risk remains with larger thread counts.

2. Subsequent threads also try to reserve 92% of reported memory and quickly run out of vGPU quota.
3. Internal Paddle GPU sanity check fails, raises `SIGABRT` and generates core_dump instead of throwing normal CUDA OOM exception.

docusaurus does not render github alerts, so this shows a blockquote with a literal [!NOTE]; the repo uses :::note in 36 files and this syntax in none.

base is not a language so these four fences lose bash highlighting, same on line 58 and in the zh page.

🌐 Web query:

site:paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/guides/flags/memory_en.html FLAGS_initial_gpu_memory_in_mb FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use precedence

💡 Result:

In PaddlePaddle, FLAGS_initial_gpu_memory_in_mb takes precedence over FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use [1]. If FLAGS_initial_gpu_memory_in_mb is set, it overrides the memory allocation behavior defined by FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use [1]. If FLAGS_initial_gpu_memory_in_mb is not set or is set to its default value of 0, the system defaults to using FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use to determine the initial GPU memory allocation [1].

Citations:


Correct the GPU allocation workaround in both documents.

With both variables set, Paddle uses FLAGS_initial_gpu_memory_in_mb=2048 and ignores FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use=0.25. Remove one setting, or explain that the fixed initial size takes precedence and update the workaround text accordingly.
