DVM: A Bytecode Virtual Machine Approach for Dynamic Tensor Computation

Dynamism is common in AI computation, e.g., the dynamic tensor shapes and the dynamic control flows in models. Due to the long compilation time, existing runtime compilation damages the model efficiency, while the offline compilers either suffer from the long compilation time and device memory footprint to cover all the possible execution instances of a dynamic model, or sacrifice optimization opportunities for usability. In this paper, we rethink the feasibility of runtime compilation for dynamic models and identify that the key for it to work is to speed up the compilation or hide the compilation overhead. To do this, we propose a real-time compiler, DVM. In DVM, we design a runtime operator compiler based on a bytecode virtual machine to perform effective and efficient compilation for each dynamic operator instance given its input. Specifically, instead of compiling programs into machine code, we encode the operator program into bytecode on the CPU and decode the bytecode into virtual instructions for direct execution on the NPU. Based on the runtime operator compiler, we further propose an operator fuser, which performs symbol-deduction-based fusion on static graphs and runtime fusion on dynamic graphs. Both pattern- and stacking-based fusion are supported to increase fusion opportunities. Evaluation on operators, subgraphs, and models shows that, compared with TorchInductor, PyTorch-eager and MindSpore-graph-O0, we are up to 11.77$\times$ better in terms of the operator/model efficiency and up to 5 orders of magnitude faster in terms of the maximum compilation time.

Training Report of TeleChat3-MoE

TeleChat3-MoE is the latest series of TeleChat large language models, featuring a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with parameter counts ranging from 105 billion to over one trillion,trained end-to-end on Ascend NPU cluster. This technical report mainly presents the underlying training infrastructure that enables reliable and efficient scaling to frontier model sizes. We detail systematic methodologies for operator-level and end-to-end numerical accuracy verification, ensuring consistency across hardware platforms and distributed parallelism strategies. Furthermore, we introduce a suite of performance optimizations, including interleaved pipeline scheduling, attention-aware data scheduling for long-sequence training,hierarchical and overlapped communication for expert parallelism, and DVM-based operator fusion. A systematic parallelization framework, leveraging analytical estimation and integer linear programming, is also proposed to optimize multi-dimensional parallelism configurations. Additionally, we present methodological approaches to cluster-level optimizations, addressing host- and device-bound bottlenecks during large-scale training tasks. These infrastructure advancements yield significant throughput improvements and near-linear scaling on clusters comprising thousands of devices, providing a robust foundation for large-scale language model development on hardware ecosystems.
