bench-op

name	bench-op
description	Fix benchmark file to work with the new Op interface. Run benchmark, fix errors, repeat until it produces numbers.

Arguments

op_name, source_bench, source_op — passed by align-family orchestrator.

Contract

• Input: op_name, source_bench, source_op
• Output: updated benchmark file + commit
• Termination (success): benchmark runs to completion, produces numeric output (latency/TFLOPS/bandwidth)
• Termination (blocked): failure is not interface-related (e.g., kernel bug). Return blocked with reason.
• Constraint: must NOT modify Op implementation or tests. Benchmark-only changes.
• Environment: local GPU required.

Workflow

stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> RUN_BENCH
    RUN_BENCH --> DONE: benchmark produces numbers
    RUN_BENCH --> FIX_ERROR: runtime error
    FIX_ERROR --> RUN_BENCH: benchmark code fixed
    FIX_ERROR --> BLOCKED: error is not interface-related
    BLOCKED --> [*]: return blocked to orchestrator
    DONE --> COMMIT
    COMMIT --> [*]

Steps

1. RUN_BENCH

Execute the benchmark file:

python -m pytest <source_bench> -v

If it runs and produces numbers → DONE.

2. FIX_ERROR

Read the traceback. The error is the signal — typically the benchmark constructs the Op with the old interface (e.g., Op(M, N, dtype) instead of Op(dim, dtype)).

Fix the benchmark construction code to use the new Op interface. This is interactive — fix what breaks, don't predict errors in advance.

If the error is NOT about interface mismatch (e.g., kernel crash, CUDA error) → BLOCKED.

3. COMMIT

Commit benchmark changes only. Follow docs/design/testing.md benchmark requirements.
