SWE-Factory: Your Automated Factory for Issue Resolution Training Data and Evaluation Benchmarks

Constructing large-scale datasets for the GitHub issue resolution task is crucial for both training and evaluating the software engineering capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the traditional process for creating such benchmarks is notoriously challenging and labor-intensive, particularly in the stages of setting up evaluation environments, grading test outcomes, and validating task instances. In this paper, we propose SWE-Factory, an automated pipeline designed to address these challenges. To tackle these issues, our pipeline integrates three core automated components. First, we introduce SWE-Builder, a multi-agent system that automates evaluation environment construction, which employs four specialized agents that work in a collaborative, iterative loop and leverages an environment memory pool to enhance efficiency. Second, we introduce a standardized, exit-code-based grading method that eliminates the need for manually writing custom parsers. Finally, we automate the fail2pass validation process using these reliable exit code signals. Experiments on 671 issues across four programming languages show that our pipeline can effectively construct valid task instances; for example, with GPT-4.1-mini, our SWE-Builder constructs 269 valid instances at $0.045 per instance, while with Gemini-2.5-flash, it achieves comparable performance at the lowest cost of $0.024 per instance. We also demonstrate that our exit-code-based grading achieves 100% accuracy compared to manual inspection, and our automated fail2pass validation reaches a precision of 0.92 and a recall of 1.00. We hope our automated pipeline will accelerate the collection of large-scale, high-quality GitHub issue resolution datasets for both training and evaluation.

A Codesign of Scheduling and Parallelization for Large Model Training in Heterogeneous Clusters

Joint consideration of scheduling and adaptive parallelism offers great opportunities for improving the training efficiency of large models on heterogeneous GPU clusters. However, integrating adaptive parallelism into a cluster scheduler expands the cluster scheduling space. The new space is the product of the original scheduling space and the parallelism exploration space of adaptive parallelism (also a product of pipeline, data, and tensor parallelism). The exponentially enlarged scheduling space and ever-changing optimal parallelism plan from adaptive parallelism together result in the contradiction between low-overhead and accurate performance data acquisition for efficient cluster scheduling. This paper presents Crius, a training system for efficiently scheduling multiple large models with adaptive parallelism in a heterogeneous cluster. Crius proposes a novel scheduling granularity called Cell. It represents a job with deterministic resources and pipeline stages. The exploration space of Cell is shrunk to the product of only data and tensor parallelism, thus exposing the potential for accurate and low-overhead performance estimation. Crius then accurately estimates Cells and efficiently schedules training jobs. When a Cell is selected as a scheduling choice, its represented job runs with the optimal parallelism plan explored. Experimental results show that Crius reduces job completion time by up to 48.9% and schedules large models with up to 1.49x cluster throughput improvement.
