What it does

Aic Silicon Align is an agent skill from ai-dynamo/aiconfigurator. Use when validating AIC predictions against real GPU serving measurements and root-causing fidelity gaps (prediction-vs-measured issues, memory/concurrency mismatches, per-op latency divergence). Covers dummy-weight methodology, measurement parity traps, component-isolation ladders, and ledger reconciliation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. The repository describes itself as: Offline optimization of your disaggregated Dynamo graph. The licence is Apache-2.0.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aic Silicon Align loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when validating AIC predictions against real GPU serving measurements and root-causing fidelity gaps (prediction-vs-measured issues, memory/concurrency mismatches, per-op latency divergence). Covers dummy-weight methodology, measurement parity traps, component-isolation ladders, and ledger reconciliation.

AIC Silicon Alignment

Root-cause a prediction-vs-measurement gap by isolating layers and comparing adjacent ones only. Never attribute a residual across more than one rung.

The ladder

  1. Reproduce the prediction (CPU-only): same yaml/version/flags. If the reported numbers don't reproduce, stop — it's a config diff, not fidelity.
  2. Consistency arithmetic before GPUs: throughput = concurrency x per-user speed. Derive the effective concurrency from the report; a gap vs configured concurrency localizes the problem to admission/memory, not kernel speed.
  3. Engine memory ledger (dummy weights suffice): serve with --load-format dummy and read the engine's own lines — weights GiB, KV tokens, max-concurrency. Compare against AIC's per-component memory dict, component by component, never totals only (errors cancel: one model showed -8/+2.3/-1.4 GiB netting to a small total delta).
  4. Standalone per-role benchmarks (prefill worker, decode worker) at KV-feasible batch sizes; compare against AIC's per-role rows.
  5. Deployment-faithful e2e: exact images, generated scripts, patches, and flags the reporter used. Only this rung may be compared to the reported end-to-end numbers.

What dummy weights do and don't preserve

  • Usually preserve: memory footprint and data-independent kernel timing — but this is loader-specific, NOT a guarantee. Before relying on it, verify against the real checkpoint: parameter dtypes/shapes/layouts and quant scales after loading, post-load weight transforms, and that the framework dispatches the same kernels (some dummy loaders allocate a different dtype than the checkpoint ships, or skip scale tensors that change dispatch). If any of these differ, validate the affected measurement with real weights before using it.
  • Do NOT preserve: anything routed by data — e.g. MoE expert distributions collapse (near-identical hidden states -> few unique experts -> weight reads shrink several-fold). Mark such measurements as biased and state the direction. To still use them: sweep the hidden axis synthetically in the collector (controlled router logits, controlled unique-expert count) to build a calibration curve, then invert the engine measurement onto it.

Measurement parity checklist (each one has flipped a conclusion)

  • CUDA-graph capture sizes must match the deployment — coverage swung a small-batch decode step 2.4x in one case. AIC-generated deploys pass an explicit list; your benchmark must too.
  • Standalone decode ITL is polluted by chunked-prefill mixing when max-num-batched-tokens is small; a disagg decode worker never prefills. Prefer deployment-faithful setups or report medians with the caveat.
  • torch-profiler distorts wall time and large-kernel durations (a single stream showing >100% busy is the tell). Anchor on unprofiled ITL; trust only small-kernel durations from traces.
  • EP/TP ranks run in lockstep: stragglers' wait is absorbed into other ranks' NCCL kernel durations. Account per-step across all ranks, never one rank's kernels in isolation.
  • Discard first-run numbers (JIT/autotune warmup skews percentiles).
  • Ops that model compute+comm jointly (overlap ops) must be compared against the same joint quantity on the engine side.

Perf-DB cross-checks

  • Re-collect the suspect datapoint on the same silicon: separates methodology error from machine/version skew.
  • Kernel-diff the collector's timed region against an engine trace: same kernel families and algos? Extra eager glue ops are a harness bug (see the fused-ops fix); missing ops are an accounting gap.
  • Collector data is only as true as its op dispatch: verify against framework source (file:line@version), per .claude/rules/collector/.

Model/checkpoint facts are per-checkpoint, not per-family

Read quantization ignore/exclude_modules from the checkpoint (e.g. NVFP4 releases keep attention BF16; native FP8 ones quantize it). Framework defaults (memory fractions, capture sizes) come from framework source with citations, never from memory.

Discipline

  • Keep a running ledger (prediction | measured | delta | attribution) and update it every experiment; record retracted claims with the reason.
  • Fix coupled accounting items together, or verify that a partial fix does not regress feasibility (a correct-but-lone weight increase can push a model into "infeasible" because other components over-count).
  • A fidelity fix lands with: the measured ledger it was validated against, framework citations, and the residuals it deliberately leaves.
