Short reads, inconsistent batch image shapes, and failed decodes can leave xDR with incomplete pixels or buffers that are still in use. Validate destination bounds, read counts, and per-tile decode status and size before accepting results.

Native reads retain KvikIO task splitting and its small-read GDS threshold, using an exclusively owned, reusable pool that drains on failure. Fused batch decoding checks status at the existing GPU completion boundary, with GPU guards preventing postprocessing of failed tiles. Standalone decodes and separate postprocessing check synchronously. Python buffers and file handles remain retained when I/O completion cannot be confirmed.

A balanced local comparison of 96 MiB cached inputs on an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell measured 1.7–4.2% compressed-read overhead versus main, down from 19.5–21.7% for the previous implementation in the same run. Uncompressed latency was within 1.3% of main. Full output parity passed across Gzip/DEFLATE and file batch sizes 1/4. Active GDS and hardware decompression were not exercised.

Validation: 514 xDR tests passed with a rebuilt CUDA 13.3 native extension; 351 CPU tests passed with 163 GPU skips. All repository hooks, including mypy, passed. Coverage includes split-read failure draining, concurrent reader recovery, asynchronous decode submission, per-tile status/size rejection, and public batch error propagation without writing failed tiles.

📝 Walkthrough

xDR now validates native and Python decoder output sizes, supports deferred decode checks, manages pooled native reads, and verifies Python KvikIO completion. Unknown completion retains affected resources and blocks later submissions.

Changes: xDR I/O and decode validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate decoder completion and output sizes
src/cuphoton/xdr/src/nvcomp_batch_ext.cpp, src/cuphoton/xdr/nvcomp_batch.py, src/cuphoton/xdr/kernels.py, src/cuphoton/xdr/prefetch.py, src/cuphoton/xdr/reader.py, tests/xdr/test_*gpu.py, docs/components/xdr.md
Native and Python decoding validate tile status, size, and coverage. Deferred results propagate to postprocessing, which skips invalid tiles.
Manage pooled native file reads

Native reads use compatible KvikIO pools, validate allocation bounds and byte counts, drain failures, and reuse pools after shutdown.
Track read completion and retain unresolved resources

GDS helpers validate byte counts and quarantine unresolved reads. Heap handles cache errors and retain files and buffers until completion is known.

Priority: ⚪ Pending latest changes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6b78b

This change adds validation of decoded tile sizes and statuses, read byte counts, and destination bounds. It also retains buffers and file handles when I/O completion is unknown. The specific concerns raised earlier hold up under inspection: quarantined files are not closed while reads are pending, and every supported build path uses the same thread-pool configuration. The author reports a 7–24% increase in median native compressed-read latency, which is an intentional tradeoff. No outstanding defects block merging.

LGTM. Reviewed read completion, buffer ownership, native bounds, and decode error handling. All 486 xDR tests passed with the extension built from this revision. GPU checks used compatibility-mode I/O; direct GDS and hardware decompression remain unqualified.

tpn added 3 commits October 19, 2026 19:24
Validate direct image slice bounds and read byte counts. Keep native
reads within their worker lifetime and retain Python I/O owners when
completion cannot be confirmed. Check per-tile decoder status and size
before returning pixels.

Restore task-split KvikIO reads with an exclusively owned, reusable
pool that drains on failure. Defer native decode status checks to the
existing GPU batch boundary and guard postprocessing per tile.

Match the KvikIO thread-pool build definition across the library ABI.
Keep standalone decoder calls synchronous and retain completion owners
until downstream GPU work finishes.
