"""Trainer:inference GPU-split selection + the ratio-benchmark grid for disaggregated GRPO. Pure logic (no torch / no provisioning): given a node's GPU ``count`` and the number of ``inference_gpus`` to dedicate to the vLLM rollout server, decide the rollout MODE and the ``CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`` split for trainer vs inference. ``ratio_grid`` enumerates the *reasonable* trainer:inference splits within a node for the benchmark sweep (colocate, 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, ...) — deliberately excluding absurd splits (e.g. 7 train : 1 infer). The live worker (``engine.worker.run_rl``) consumes :func:`select_rollout_split` to launch ``trl vllm-serve`` on the inference devices and the FSDP trainer on the rest; this module stays GPU-free so the split math + grid are unit-testable on CPU. verl ref (3D-HybridEngine / flexible device mapping): https://github.com/verl-project/verl """ from __future__ import annotations from dataclasses import dataclass # Don't dedicate more than this fraction of a node to one side — keeps the sweep to "reasonable" # splits.

The vLLM server is pinned to device 0 deliberately: vLLM's model-inspection probe queries NVML by the *physical* device id of its first visible card, and NVML (which respects CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES) only exposes the restricted set — so a server pinned to a non-zero device (e.g. CVD="1") makes vLLM query NVML index 1 in a 1-device view → NVMLError_InvalidArgument ("architectures failed to be inspected").
