[None][fix] Use bounded NVFP4 serving configs for MiniMax-M3 perf tests

[yufeiwu-nv]

Description

The five TP4 MiniMax-M3 MXFP8 throughput cases fail during executor initialization with large temporary attention allocations. Replace them with NVFP4 trtllm-serve cases covering the same input/output lengths and the 8K concurrency-256 workload.

Use TP4/EP4 with attention DP, MSA attention, CUTLASS MoE, FP8 KV cache, and a KV free-memory fraction of 0.6. Cap runtime and CUDA graph batch sizes at 128 while retaining a 2048-token budget. Use max_seq_len=4096 for the shorter workloads and max_seq_len=9216 plus explicit chunked prefill for 8000/1000; without chunking, serve rejects the 8K input because it exceeds the token budget. Allow 1800 seconds for cold MSA startup.

Place the five serve cases in the existing four-GPU condition (compute capability 10.0 through 10.7), alongside the current MiniMax cases; no new condition is introduced. Existing MiniMax bench configurations, including MXFP8 batch-1 coverage, remain unchanged. This changes the throughput coverage to the mixed MXFP8/NVFP4 checkpoint; it does not fix the MXFP8 temporary-allocation path or establish accuracy equivalence.

Test Coverage

• Prior GPU validation on 2026-09-10: 4 B300 GPUs, TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc26. All five tuned serve cases passed pytest, each completing 512 requests with zero failed requests: 128/128, 500/2000, 2000/500, 8000/1000, and 8000/1000 with concurrency 256. The short-workload shell wrapper failed after pytest completed; the three passing JUnit results and client counters were retained. Both corrected 8K cases completed successfully.
• CPU-only execution of the final config-generation methods: all five generated YAML dictionaries exactly match the saved successful B300 configurations; all eight retained MiniMax bench configurations are unchanged. GPU/environment imports were stubbed for this check.
• Repository pre-commit checks and git diff --check passed.

The final source revision has not been rerun on GPUs. Other GPU types and model accuracy have not been validated by this change.

PR Checklist

• Reviewed the applicable contribution checklist: focused test configuration change, existing configuration fields only, no API or dependency changes.

Dev Engineer Review

• Replaces five MiniMax-M3 MXFP8 throughput cases with NVFP4 trtllm-serve cases.
• Preserves the input/output lengths, including the 8K, concurrency-256 workload.
• Adds TP4/EP4 serving limits, KV-cache settings, batch-size caps, sequence limits, and chunked prefill.
• Sets the minimax_m3_fp4 startup timeout to 1800 seconds.
• Existing MiniMax configurations remain unchanged.
• Final GPU validation is pending.

QA Engineer Review

• Modifies the MiniMax performance configuration, timeout logic, and QA list.
• Replaces five MiniMax M3 FP4 serving entries in llm_perf_core.yml.
• Retains the four-GPU condition and the five workload shapes.
• Reported CPU-side generation, retained-configuration, pre-commit, and diff checks passed.
• The final revision was not rerun on GPUs.
• Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

• tests/integration/defs/perf/pytorch_model_config.py: Verify generated NVFP4 commands, sequence limits, chunked prefill, batch caps, and worker settings.
• tests/integration/defs/perf/test_perf.py: Verify that only minimax_m3_fp4 receives the 1800-second startup timeout.
• tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_core.yml: Verify all five selectors and generated IDs under the intended four-GPU condition. CI test-db coverage is not established from the supplied evidence.
