+# CONTINUE.md: PAD with Invalid instead of 0
+
+## Goal
+Make the low-level `Ops.PAD` pad with `Invalid` instead of `0`, while keeping
+the external `Tensor.pad` behavior unchanged.
+
+## Changes made (all 3 files are modified, see `git diff`)
+
+### 1. `tinygrad/schedule/indexing.py:92` — core change
+`convert_pad_to_where_to_keep_behavior_local` now uses `UOp.const(x.dtype, Invalid)`
+instead of `UOp.const(x.dtype, 0)` as the else value. This is what makes `Ops.PAD`
+pad with Invalid.
+
+### 2. `tinygrad/uop/symbolic.py:87-99` — Invalid propagation rules
+Added two new rules to `pm_data_invalid` so that `where(invalid_gate, a, const_b)`
+uses `b` (the const) in don't-care positions instead of poisoning to Invalid.
+This is needed so that `_pad_constant`'s mask `where(pad(ones_bool), base, value)`
+works — the mask is a `where(valid, True, Invalid)` gate, and the else `value`
+is a const.
+
+The rules are restricted to only match when the gate's valid value is a **const**
+(`UPat.cvar("x")`), to distinguish pad masks (where valid=True, a const) from
+gather masks (where valid=loaded_data, not a const). Without this restriction,
+`test_tensor_index` breaks because gather masks also create `where(cond, x, Invalid)`
+but need to keep poisoning.
+
+### 3. `tinygrad/mixin/op.py:280-289` — `_pad_constant` fix
+Swapped the `value == 0` early return for `value is Invalid` early return.
+When `value is Invalid`, just return `base` (which already has Invalid from
+`Ops.PAD`). For all other values (including 0), use the mask approach:
+`where(pad(ones_bool), base, const_value)`.
+
+## Current state
+- `test/unit/test_invalid_tensor.py` — **all 22 pass**
+- `test/unit/test_function.py` — **5 failures**, all multi-shard tests
+
+## The remaining bug: `cat` + multi-shard
+
+`cat` (op.py:716) uses `pad` + `usum` (element-wise ADD) to combine tensors:
+```python
+padded = [t.pad(...) for i,t in enumerate(tensors)]
+return padded[0].usum(*padded[1:])
+```
+
+When two shards are cat'd, each is padded and then summed. The valid masks
+are **complementary** (shard 0 valid in positions 0-1, shard 1 valid in 2-3).
+
+`_pad_constant` creates `where(mask_pad, data_pad, 0)` where:
+- `mask_pad = where(valid, True, Invalid)` — gate's valid value is const `True`
+- `data_pad = where(valid, data, Invalid)` — gate's valid value is loaded `data` (NOT const)
+
+The new const-specific rule handles the mask pad correctly. But for the data pad,
+the gate's valid value (`data`) is not a const, so the **non-const** lift-out rule
+fires: `where(valid, where(valid, data, Invalid), 0)` → `where(valid, where(valid, data, 0), Invalid)`.
+
+The `Invalid` else poisons the ADD. The binary Invalid rule lifts both gates out:
+`where(c6, data0, Invalid) + where(c8, data1, Invalid)` → `where(c6&c8, data0+data1, Invalid)`.
+
+Since `c6` and `c8` are complementary, `c6&c8` is always False → result is all Invalid → 0.
+
+### Master comparison
+On master, `convert_pad_to_where` uses `0` (not Invalid), so the ADD is just
+`where(c6, data0, 0) + where(c8, data1, 0)` with no Invalid, no lifting, works fine.
+
+### Debug output (with changes)
+```
+c16 = c6.where(c11.index(c13), 0)        # where(c6, load0, 0) — correct
+c22 = c6.where(0, c17.index(c20))         # where(c6, 0, load1) — correct
+c25 = (c6&c8).where((c16+c22), Invalid)   # WRONG: c6&c8 always False → all Invalid
+```
+
+### Master debug output
+```
+c13 = c6.where(c8.index(c10), 0)          # where(c6, load0, 0)
+c21 = c6.where(0, c14.index(c19))          # where(c6, 0, load1)
+c22 = c13+c21                              # plain ADD, no wrapper — correct
+```
+
+## Suggested fix approaches
+
+### Option A: General WHERE simplification rule
+Add a rule: `where(a, where(a, x, _), c)` → `where(a, x, c)`.
+When the outer and inner conditions are the same UOp, the inner else is
+unreachable. This would simplify `where(valid, where(valid, data, Invalid), 0)`
+→ `where(valid, data, 0)` before the lift-out rule can fire.
+Check if this rule already exists in `symbolic.py` — it may need to be added
+before the lift-out rules.
+
+### Option B: Don't use Ops.PAD for data in `_pad_constant`
+When `value is not Invalid`, avoid creating `Ops.PAD` on the data. Use `cat`
+or `expand` to create the padded tensor directly, bypassing the Invalid
+propagation entirely.
+
+### Option C: Make the lift-out rule use the outer else value
+Change the non-const lift-out rule: when `where(a, where(cond, x, Invalid), c)`
+and `c` is a const, use `c` as the else instead of `Invalid`. This is what the
+const-specific rule does, but it needs to also handle non-const gate valid values.

 The main bottleneck in most kernels is accessing memory. In a freshman algorithms class, you'll learn about cache aware matrix multiplication, and this is all forms of that. While the same math is run, the order in which you run it can have large impacts on the speed depending on if the data you are loading. OptOps will change this order.

-Memory, even cache, is often much slower than accessing the register file. The amount of times data is used in math is called the "arithmetic intensity". For operations like BS=1 GEMV, the arithmetic intensity is 1, but for GEMMs and convs it can be much higher. Splitting an axis into UPCAST can increase this, but be careful of making them too large, as if there's too much register pressure on the GPU the warp scheduler may not be able to fit many warps, or even worse, it could be spilling to local memory.

-# Navi31 flash tools
-
-Utilities for reading and recovering the 2 MiB SPI flash on Navi31 boards.
-Run them from the tinygrad repository root. No image is bundled; keep a verified
-full-ROM backup before performing any write.
-
-`fw_live.py` accesses BAR5 through tinygrad's `PCIDevice.map_bar()` abstraction
-and supports either the custom ASM24 USB-PCIe bridge or native PCIe. Select the
-transport before the subcommand:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py --transport usb probe
-python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py --transport pci probe
-```
-
-The default, `--transport auto`, considers USB devices first and then native
-PCI devices. Native PCI access requires the usual tinygrad PCI permissions and
-an unbound kernel driver.
-
-## Access paths and hardware state
-
-The paths are state-dependent and are not interchangeable:
-
-* **`romless.py`** drives SMUIO `ROM_SW_*` directly through the ASM24 bridge.
-  Use it only when an empty or corrupt flash has stalled the PSP PBL. Healthy
-  autonomous boot gates this engine; the usual gated status is
-  `ROM_SW_STATUS=0x04000800`.
-* **`fw_live.py probe`** queries the early PSP boot-firmware mailbox.
-* Firmware-mediated write commands are retained for protocol documentation but
-  are disabled because an exact stock reflash did not validate safely.
-* **`fw_live.py dump`** reads an exact 2 MiB raw image through
-  `ROM_INDEX/ROM_DATA`. It refuses devices where the raw SMUIO controller is
-  unavailable; the NBIO SOC15 function-ROM aperture is not a physical SPI
-  mapping and is deliberately not used as a fallback.
-
-The tools do not reset or power-cycle the board.
-
-## Raw ROM_SW recovery
-
-Identification and read-only operations:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py info
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py read 0 0x40
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py dump spi.bin
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py verify known-good.bin
-```
-
-Restore an exact 2 MiB image:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py flash known-good.bin --yes
-```
-
-If GD25 status-register bit `SR2.CMP` protects the complete array, clearing it
-requires separate authorization:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py flash known-good.bin --clear-cmp --yes
-```
-
-Programming is sector-granular. Every written 4 KiB sector is immediately read
-back and compared with the input. A range can be resumed independently:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py flash known-good.bin \
-  --start-sector 128 --sector-count 64 --yes
-```
-
-Navi31 ROM_SW details used by the implementation:
-
-* `ROM_SW_COMMAND = (address << 8) | opcode`
-* TX data uses big-endian stream dwords
-* `RETURN_DATA_EN` (bit 19) is clear for TX and set for RX
-* the RX window exposes the preceding transaction, so reads are primed once
-
-## Firmware-mediated access
-
-The read-only commands are:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py probe
-python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py dump current-spi.bin
-```
-
-`dump` produces exactly `0x200000` bytes, requires the raw IFWI magic at offset
-zero, rejects mirrored 1 MiB apertures, and restores the ROM controller/index
-state before writing output.
-
-The validated early-firmware sequence is available as:
-
-```sh
-python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py --transport usb ifwi-all full-ifwi.bin --yes
-```
-
-It resolves at most Navi31's configured 19 items, streams the item associated
-with terminal phase `0x2xx`, and then stops. PSP selects the destination
-partition; item `0x08` always comes from the payload referenced by the first
-ISH descriptor, matching AMDVBFlash. A hard power cycle is required afterward.
-
-A successful PSP update is not a byte-identical raw rewrite. On the validated
-stock test, both A/B payloads matched the source exactly, PSP selected and
-booted the updated B partition, and firmware changed only its update cookie,
-B descriptor counter/checksum, and generated metadata near `0x1ef000`.
-
-The `stream`, `ifwi-step`, and `live-flash` commands remain disabled. Testing
-showed that the PSP live path parses a raw stock IFWI but fails with status
-`0xC` (`PSP Write To SPI Error`) after writing an `$AMDVBFL` cookie. Use the
-verified ROM_SW path for recovery.
-
-## Safety
-
-ROM_SW erase/program and `ifwi-all` commands require `--yes`; other
-firmware-streaming commands are disabled. Read-only commands still touch controller and mailbox registers but
-do not issue SPI program/erase or PSP transfer-start commands. Preserve a
-known-good full dump outside the repository.

+# device.timeline_signal/value are the per-device schedule epoch. Before a schedule queue accesses memory owned by device N for the first time,
+# it waits for device[N].timeline_signal >= device[N].timeline_value - 1. This orders the schedule after all prior schedules that touched device N.
+#
+# queue.timeline_signal/value are per-queue progress counters used only inside a schedule.
+# Only the owner queue signals its queue.timeline_signal. Values are monotonic.
+#
+# At schedule end, one finalizer queue per touched device[N] waits for every active queue on device[N] to reach its schedule-local
+# final queue.timeline value, then signals device[N].timeline_signal with the schedule's reserved device epoch. After that, buffers/transients
+# for device N from this schedule are safe for the next schedule
+#
+# C programs reserve and bump timeline values, then patch command buffers with the concrete wait/signal values.

-# Runbook: Llama 3 8B Training on DigitalOcean MI350X
-
-## Machine Specs
- 8x MI350X GPUs (gfx950, device ID 75b0), 288GB VRAM each
- 2TB RAM, 192 CPUs, 2TB disk
- ROCm 7.14 at `/opt/rocm` (NOT `/opt/rocm-7.1.1` like the submission scripts assume)
- Python 3.12
-
-## Phase 1: System Setup
-
-### 1.1 Install packages
-```bash
-apt-get update
-apt-get install -y python3-pip python3-venv git tmux rclone clang
-```
-
-### 1.2 Install Python deps
-```bash
-python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages --ignore-installed typing-extensions numpy tqdm wandb tiktoken sentencepiece
-```
-Note: `--ignore-installed typing-extensions` is needed because the base image ships typing-extensions 4.10.0 without a RECORD file, so pip cannot uninstall it.
-
-### 1.3 Install ROCm dev headers
-The base image has ROCm runtime but NOT the HIP dev headers. Need:
-```bash
-apt-get install -y amdrocm-core-dev
-```
-This installs `hip/hip_runtime.h` at `/opt/rocm/core-7.14/include/hip/hip_runtime.h`.
-The symlink `/opt/rocm/include` → `/opt/rocm/core-7.14/include` makes it available at `/opt/rocm/include/hip/hip_runtime.h`.
-
-### 1.4 Configure ROCm comgr
-ROCm 7.14 ships comgr 3.3 at `/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so`. tinygrad's DLL loader needs explicit env vars to find it (it searches for `libcomgr.so*` by default, not `libamd_comgr.so*`). Set these in the run command:
-```bash
-export COMGR_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so
-export COMGR_3_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so
-```
-Also add ROCm libs to ldconfig so comgr's shared library dependencies resolve:
-```bash
-cat > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/rocm.conf << 'EOF'
-/opt/rocm/lib
-/opt/rocm/lib/llvm/lib
-/opt/rocm/lib/rocm_sysdeps/lib
-EOF
-ldconfig
-```
-
-### 1.5 Install geohot tmux config
-```bash
-curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geohot/configuration/master/.tmux.conf -o ~/.tmux.conf
-```
-
-### 1.6 Verify GPU PCI access
-The AM userspace driver accesses the GPUs directly over PCI. Do not load `amdgpu`. `/dev/kfd` is not required.
-```bash
-rmmod amdgpu
-lspci -nnk -d 1002:
-```
-The MI350X devices should not show a `Kernel driver in use: amdgpu`.
-
-## Phase 2: Clone tinygrad
-```bash
-cd /root
-git clone https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad.git
-cd tinygrad
-python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages -e .
-```
-
-## Phase 3: Download C4 Dataset
-
-The C4 data is on the MLCommons Cloudflare R2 bucket in Megatron-LM indexed format.
-
-```bash
-rclone config create mlc-training s3 provider=Cloudflare \
-  access_key_id=76ea42eadb867e854061a1806220ee1e \
-  secret_access_key=a53625c4d45e3ca8ac0df8a353ea3a41ffc3292aa25259addd8b7dc5a6ce2936 \
-  endpoint=c2686074cb2caf5cbaf6d134bdba8b47.r2.cloudflarestorage.com
-
-mkdir -p /raid/datasets/c4-8b
-(rclone copy mlc-training:mlcommons-training-wg-public/llama3_1/datasets/c4/llama3_1_8b/ /raid/datasets/c4-8b/ -P && \
-  PYTHONPATH=. python3 examples/mlperf/training_submission_v6.0/tinycorp/benchmarks/llama31_8b/implementations/tinybox_8xMI350X/buid_dataset_cache.py) \
-  > /root/dataset_cache.log 2>&1 &
-```
-Leave this running and proceed to the beam step while the dataset downloads and its cache builds.
-
-### 3.1 Smoke test (beam search, 2 layers, fake data)
-Always run beam first to validate the pipeline:
-```bash
-tmux new-session -d -s beam 'cd /root/tinygrad && COMGR_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so COMGR_3_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so CC=/opt/rocm/core-7.14/lib/llvm/bin/clang DEV=PCI+AMD:HIP ROCM_PATH=/opt/rocm bash examples/mlperf/training_submission_v6.0/tinycorp/benchmarks/llama31_8b/implementations/tinybox_8xMI350X/dev_beam.sh 2>&1 | tee /root/beam.log'
-```
-
-The beam test runs 10 training steps with 2 layers. Expected results:
- ~0.29s per step after warmup
- ~700K GFLOPS, ~7% MFU (low because only 2 layers)
- ~380 GB VRAM used
- Loss stable at ~12.55 with random init
-
-Files downloaded (~85GB total, ~6 minutes):
- `c4-train.en_6_text_document.bin` (79 GB)
- `c4-train.en_6_text_document.idx` (870 MB)
- `c4-validation-91205-samples.en_text_document.bin` (159 MB)
- `c4-validation-91205-samples.en_text_document.idx` (1.8 MB)
- `LICENSE.txt`, `NOTICE.txt`
-
-**Wait for rclone to fully complete before starting training.** Starting training while the dataset is still downloading will read a truncated .bin file, causing `ValueError: all input arrays must have the same shape` in the dataloader. The stale `.index_cache` and `.blend_cache` files must also be deleted if this happens:
-```bash
-rm -f /raid/datasets/c4-8b/*.index_cache /raid/datasets/c4-8b/*.blend_cache
-```
-
-## Phase 4: wandb Login
-```bash
-wandb login
-```
-Enter API key from https://wandb.ai/authorize
-
-Alternatively, pass the key directly:
-```bash
-wandb login <API_KEY>
-```
-
-## Phase 5: Run Training
-
-Run training in tmux so it survives SSH disconnects:
-```bash
-tmux new-session -d -s train 'cd /root/tinygrad && COMGR_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so COMGR_3_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so CC=/opt/rocm/core-7.14/lib/llvm/bin/clang DEV=PCI+AMD:HIP ROCM_PATH=/opt/rocm WANDB=1 bash examples/mlperf/training_submission_v6.0/tinycorp/benchmarks/llama31_8b/implementations/tinybox_8xMI350X/dev_run.sh 2>&1 | tee /root/train.log'
-```
-Attach with `tmux attach -t train`.
-
-### 5.1 Full training run
-```bash
-tmux new-session -d -s train 'cd /root/tinygrad && COMGR_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so COMGR_3_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so CC=/opt/rocm/core-7.14/lib/llvm/bin/clang DEV=PCI+AMD:HIP ROCM_PATH=/opt/rocm WANDB=1 bash examples/mlperf/training_submission_v6.0/tinycorp/benchmarks/llama31_8b/implementations/tinybox_8xMI350X/dev_run.sh 2>&1 | tee /root/train.log'
-```

-## Environment Variable Reference
-
-| Variable | Value | Why |
-|---|---|---|
-| `COMGR_PATH` | `/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so` | tinygrad's DLL loader needs explicit path to find comgr 3.3 |
-| `COMGR_3_PATH` | `/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so` | comgr 3.x uses a separate `comgr_3` module with its own path var |
-| `CC` | `/opt/rocm/core-7.14/lib/llvm/bin/clang` | System clang doesn't know gfx950; must use ROCm's bundled clang |
-| `DEV` | `PCI+AMD:HIP` | Force HIPRenderer (comgr-based) over HIPCCRenderer (hipcc subprocess) |
-| `ROCM_PATH` | `/opt/rocm` | Script defaults to `/opt/rocm-7.1.1` which doesn't exist |
-| `WANDB` | `1` | Enable wandb logging (off by default) |
-

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### `'hip/hip_runtime.h' file not found`
-Install `amdrocm-core-dev`:
-```bash
-apt-get install -y amdrocm-core-dev
-```
-
-### `'gfx950' is not a recognized processor` + LLVM crash
-System clang doesn't know gfx950. Set `CC=/opt/rocm/core-7.14/lib/llvm/bin/clang`.
-
-### `comgr not available: try setting COMGR_PATH?`
-Add ROCm libs to ldconfig and set `COMGR_PATH` and `COMGR_3_PATH`:
-```bash
-# /etc/ld.so.conf.d/rocm.conf should contain /opt/rocm/lib paths
-ldconfig
-```
-
-### `comgr not available: try setting COMGR_3_PATH?`
-comgr 3.x uses a separate module. Set `COMGR_3_PATH=/opt/rocm/lib/libamd_comgr.so` too.
-
-### `No such file or directory: 'clang'`
-Install clang: `apt-get install -y clang` (for CPU compilation).
-For gfx950 HIP compilation, comgr (not clang) is used — ensure the ROCm 7.14 comgr 3.3 is properly loaded via `COMGR_PATH` and `COMGR_3_PATH`.
-
-## Appendix: KVM Virtualization Observations
-
-### Virtualization detection
-```
-$ systemd-detect-virt
-kvm
-$ lspci -nn | grep AMD
-83:00.0 ... Device [1002:75b0]
-```
-CPU flags include `hypervisor`. `dmesg` shows `Hypervisor detected: KVM`.
-
-### No fan control
-No `fan*` or `pwm*` hwmon entries exist. Only `temp*`, `power*`, `freq*` are exposed. GPU temps read 56-63°C, power ~265W per GPU.
