What type of PR is this?

/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

Ascend hami-core Fit hardcodes effectiveTotalCore = 100. This wires the existing NVIDIA-style deviceCoreScaling knob for Ascend hami-core only:

  • budget = round(100 * deviceCoreScaling), default 1
  • Coresreq=100 stays exclusive when the budget is oversold
  • a card that already has one 100% occupant rejects later share requests

Helm: devices.ascend.deviceCoreScaling (default 1) → vnpus.deviceCoreScaling. Memory is not scaled.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #2901

Special notes for your reviewer:

AI assistance: I used Cursor to draft the patch and this description. I reviewed every changed line and can explain the Fit budget and exclusive checks. Commit messages were written by me.

Hardware validation (scheduler extender Fit path):

  • Device: 8 × Ascend 910B3
  • Driver / npu-smi: 25.5.0
  • deviceCoreScaling=1.5 (budget 150)
  • 3 pods with -core: "30" plus 1 pod with -core: "20" on the same UUID
  • Result: all four scheduled (110 ≤ 150). Default budget 100 rejects the fourth (CardInsufficientCore).

This is a new PR after #2883 was closed for contribution-process issues.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Yes. Optional Helm value devices.ascend.deviceCoreScaling (default 1). No behavior change unless set above 1.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Core-capacity checks now consistently use the capacity advertised by each device.
    • Improved handling of core oversubscription and exhaustion scenarios.
    • Exclusive device allocations continue to prevent conflicting shared allocations.
  • Tests

    • Updated coverage for core-capacity limits, oversell behavior, and exclusive allocation conflicts.

Ascend hami-core Fit currently hardcodes effectiveTotalCore=100, so
compute cannot be oversold the way NVIDIA deviceCoreScaling already
allows. Use 100 * deviceCoreScaling (default 1) and keep Coresreq=100
as exclusive even when the budget is scaled.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Ascend hami-core Fit now uses Totalcore directly for capacity checks. Tests cover devices advertising 100 and 150 cores, including exclusive allocation behavior.

Changes

Ascend hami-core capacity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fit capacity and oversell validation
pkg/device/ascend/device.go, pkg/device/ascend/device_test.go
Fit uses dev.Totalcore for hami-core capacity and zero-core checks. Tests validate rejection at 100 cores, admission at 150 cores, and exclusive allocation conflicts.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 91f2a

The change can allow a later shared Ascend workload onto a device that already has a full-core occupant after an unrelated zero-core allocation, weakening exclusivity and potentially over-admitting work. Merge should wait until this sequence is prevented and covered by a regression test; advertised device capacity also requires explicit owner awareness.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title clearly describes the Ascend hami-core Fit change and matches the linked issue. The implementation delegates scaling to the device plugin but still makes Fit honor the resulting scaled budget.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR updates Ascend hami-core Fit and adds tests for plugin-advertised core capacity, oversubscription, and exclusivity [#2901]. It does not add vnpus.deviceCoreScaling to the Ascend device plugin or wire devices.ascend.deviceCoreScaling through Helm, so the full linked-issue objective is not complete.

Resolution

Add the coupled Ascend device-plugin change to advertise Devcore = 100 * deviceCoreScaling with a default of 1, and add the Helm wiring from devices.ascend.deviceCoreScaling to vnpus.deviceCoreScaling. Otherwise, explicitly split these requirements into a tracked follow-up issue and narrow the linked objective for this PR.

Document the rounding rule.

Fit uses round(100 * deviceCoreScaling). For example, 1.234 produces a budget of 123, not 123.4. State the rounding behavior in this description.

@curry30000 Thanks for your contribution. This is a problem. But to align with NVIDIA devices, better apply this scale in the device plugin. Need coupled PR in another repo.

@FouoF Thank you for the review.

I agree this is a real gap. NVIDIA applies deviceCoreScaling when the device plugin registers Devcore, then Fit uses the advertised Totalcore. This PR only scaled the budget inside Ascend Fit, so it is not the same path.

Please confirm the coupled repo is https://github.com/Project-HAMi/ascend-device-plugin. The plugin would report Devcore = 100 * deviceCoreScaling for hami-core, and this HAMi change would stop hardcoding effectiveTotalCore = 100 and use the registered value instead.

I can open that plugin PR and adjust this one to match. Would you like the plugin PR first?

Match the NVIDIA path: the device plugin advertises the scaled
core budget, and Fit uses that Totalcore instead of hardcoding
100 or applying deviceCoreScaling in the scheduler.

@FouoF Thanks for the review. I updated this PR to follow that path.

HAMi Fit no longer hardcodes effectiveTotalCore = 100, and it no longer applies deviceCoreScaling in the scheduler. It uses the core capacity advertised by the device plugin (dev.Totalcore), same as NVIDIA. Coresreq=100 stays exclusive, and a card that already has a 100-core occupant still rejects later share requests.

The scale itself is in the coupled plugin PR: Project-HAMi/ascend-device-plugin#132

For hami-core it registers Devcore = 100 * deviceCoreScaling (default 1).

Preserve 100-core exclusivity after a zero-core allocation.

When Totalcore == 150, a 100-core hami-core allocation leaves 50 cores available. A non-hami-core zero-core allocation can pass Fit and increment DeviceUsage.Used through AddResourceUsage. A later 50-core hami-core allocation can then pass the capacity check and bypass dev.Used == 1 because Used is 2.

Track 100-core occupants independently of the allocation count, and add a regression test for this sequence.
