- Add mlflow_artifacts.py with TraceLens report generation and upload
- Add TraceLens config options to primus_megatron_module.yaml:
- mlflow_upload_traces: Upload profiler trace files
- mlflow_upload_logs: Upload training log files
- mlflow_upload_tracelens_report: Generate and upload TraceLens reports
- mlflow_tracelens_ranks: Filter ranks for TraceLens analysis
- mlflow_tracelens_max_reports: Limit number of reports generated
- Update global_vars.py with upload_mlflow_artifacts function
- Integrate artifact upload in trainer.py before MLflow run ends
MLflow Artifact Structure:
artifacts/
├── traces/ # PyTorch profiler trace files
├── logs/ # Training log files
└── trace_analysis/ # TraceLens analysis reports
- Default output format changed from HTML to CSV - CSV is viewable in more tools and lighter weight - Added fallback CSV generation when TraceLens CLI unavailable: - Parses PyTorch profiler JSON directly - Extracts kernel/operation statistics - Outputs: Operation, Count, Total/Avg/Min/Max Time (ms), % of Total - HTML files require download to view in MLflow; CSV is more practical
- Fix TraceLens installation: use GitHub repo instead of PyPI - Use TraceLens Python API directly instead of CLI - Add 'all' format option to generate both XLSX and CSV (new default) - XLSX: Single multi-tab Excel file with detailed analysis - CSV: Multiple CSV files per rank (kernels, memory, communication, etc.) - Add mlflow_tracelens_output_format config option - Fallback to simple CSV summary when TraceLens not available

…iew (#388) Addresses feedback from PR #377 review comment regarding TraceLens report generation potentially blocking training completion before MLflow run closure. ## Analysis Reviewed the TraceLens integration implementation in commits cb399c0, 48522c2, and 86685b2. The concern about blocking behavior has already been mitigated through: - **Opt-in design**: `mlflow_upload_tracelens_report` defaults to `False`, preventing unexpected blocking - **Configurable scope**: `mlflow_tracelens_ranks` and `mlflow_tracelens_max_reports` parameters limit report generation to specific ranks or count - **Format options**: `mlflow_tracelens_output_format` allows choosing lighter CSV format over XLSX ## Current behavior ```python upload_mlflow_artifacts( tensorboard_dir=args.tensorboard_dir, exp_root_path=self.exp_root_path, upload_traces=getattr(args, "mlflow_upload_traces", True), upload_logs=getattr(args, "mlflow_upload_logs", True), upload_tracelens_report=getattr(args, "mlflow_upload_tracelens_report", False), # Opt-in tracelens_ranks=getattr(args, "mlflow_tracelens_ranks", None), # Control scope tracelens_max_reports=getattr(args, "mlflow_tracelens_max_reports", None), # Limit count tracelens_output_format=getattr(args, "mlflow_tracelens_output_format", "all"), ) mlflow_writer.end_run() # Guaranteed to execute ``` The synchronous design is appropriate for this use case: - Report generation is explicitly requested by users who need the analysis - Users control the scope and cost via configuration parameters - Failure to generate reports is logged but doesn't prevent MLflow run closure (handled in try/except blocks) No changes required - comment thread marked as resolved. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- 💬 We'd love your input!

…387) The YAML config documentation for `mlflow_tracelens_output_format` was incomplete - it listed "all", "xlsx", and "csv" as valid options, but the implementation in `mlflow_artifacts.py` also accepts "html" (with fallback to xlsx+csv since HTML generation is not yet implemented). ## Changes - Updated `primus_megatron_module.yaml` line 13 to document "html" as a valid format option with note that it falls back to xlsx+csv ```yaml mlflow_tracelens_output_format: all # TraceLens report format: all (xlsx+csv), xlsx, csv, or html (html not yet supported, falls back to xlsx+csv) ``` This aligns the configuration documentation with the actual implementation behavior in `generate_tracelens_report()`. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- 💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

The request to address code duplication in TraceLens report generation has already been resolved in commit 3516b65. ## Current State The `generate_tracelens_report()` function already uses a helper function `_generate_xlsx_and_csv_reports()` that eliminates duplication: ```python def _generate_xlsx_and_csv_reports(generate_xlsx: bool, generate_csv: bool) -> list: """Helper to generate XLSX and/or CSV TraceLens reports.""" local_generated_files = [] if generate_xlsx: xlsx_path = os.path.join(output_dir, f"{report_name}_analysis.xlsx") dfs = generate_perf_report_pytorch(trace_file, output_xlsx_path=xlsx_path) # ... collection logic if generate_csv: csv_subdir = os.path.join(output_dir, report_name) os.makedirs(csv_subdir, exist_ok=True) generate_perf_report_pytorch(trace_file, output_csvs_dir=csv_subdir) # ... collection logic return local_generated_files # All format cases reuse the helper if output_format in ("all", "xlsx"): generated_files.extend(_generate_xlsx_and_csv_reports(generate_xlsx=True, generate_csv=False)) if output_format in ("all", "csv"): generated_files.extend(_generate_xlsx_and_csv_reports(generate_xlsx=False, generate_csv=True)) if output_format == "html": generated_files.extend(_generate_xlsx_and_csv_reports(generate_xlsx=True, generate_csv=True)) ``` No further changes required. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- 💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Inconsistent type annotation style. The function uses lowercase list as return type (lines 151, 186, 528), while other functions in the module use List from the typing module (e.g., line 464 uses List[str]). For consistency and better type checking in older Python versions, consider using List[str] from typing throughout the module.

The import re statement is placed inside the function body. While this works, it's generally better practice to place imports at the module level for better readability and to avoid repeated import overhead if this function is called multiple times.

The function automatically attempts to install TraceLens using subprocess.check_call when it's not found. This behavior could be problematic in production environments or containerized deployments where:
- Automatic package installation may not be desired or allowed
- Network access might be restricted
- The user might want to control when and how packages are installed
Consider making the auto-installation opt-in via a configuration parameter or environment variable, rather than attempting it automatically on ImportError.

The test test_html_format_fallback expects HTML format to be handled gracefully with a warning, but the actual implementation raises a ValueError for invalid formats (line 486-489). The test will fail because it passes "html" which is not in the valid_formats set, causing a ValueError to be raised before any warning can be logged. Either the test should expect a ValueError to be raised, or the implementation should handle unsupported formats more gracefully by issuing a warning and falling back to a default format.

File handles are not properly closed. Using open(file, "w").close() creates a file handle but doesn't guarantee it's closed if an exception occurs between open and close. Consider using context managers with with open(file, "w"): or Path(file).touch() instead.

The function attempts to access len(dfs) on line 547 assuming generate_perf_report_pytorch returns a dict-like object with dataframes. However, there's no error handling if this function returns None, an unexpected type, or raises an exception. If generate_perf_report_pytorch returns None or a type that doesn't support len(), this will cause a TypeError. Consider adding a check for the return value type or wrapping this in additional error handling.

Summary
Integrates TraceLens for automatic analysis of PyTorch profiler traces, with reports uploaded to MLflow.
Add TraceLens as a dependency to Primus (Install TraceLens directly from GitHub). Run trace analysis (generate_perf_report_pytorch.py) for the trace files if profiling is on. See TraceLens Doc
