HSAQ Layer Sensitivity Profiler β€” v1.1.0
=========================================
Measures per-layer output drift under different quantization levels by
running real calibration data through the model and comparing each
quantized layer's output to its fp16 baseline on the SAME input.
What changed in v1.1.0 (PIPELINE_VERSION bumped):
- Drift is now measured on captured calibration activations, not random
Gaussian inputs. Previous cached profiles are noise-derived and must be
invalidated (PIPELINE_VERSION bump triggers this automatically).
- _capture_baseline now captures (input, output) pairs per layer, not just
outputs. The captured input is what we actually need to re-run each layer
under simulated quantization.
- Drift is averaged across n samples for stability, instead of being measured
once on the first sample only.
- param_count is now populated in cache rows (was 0, which broke the budget
calculator on cache hits).
Algorithm:
1. Load model in fp16/bf16 on the inference device.
2. For each calibration sample S of n:
a. Forward pass with hooks that capture (input, output) per Linear layer.
b. For each layer x each bit-width in {2,3,4}:
- Temporarily swap in a simulated-quantized weight.
- Re-run that layer's forward on the captured input.
- Compute normalized MSE vs the captured baseline output.
- Accumulate drift.
c. Free the sample's captured activations before processing the next.
3. After all samples, divide by n to get mean drift per (layer, nbits).
Memory: peak ~1x sample worth of layer I/O held in CPU at a time, not nx.
