GPU Config Wiring - IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE
Date: November 1, 2025
Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Ready for Testing
Implemented By: AI Assistant
🎉 Summary
GPU configuration wiring is COMPLETE! All code changes have been implemented and are ready for testing.
✅ Code Changes Implemented
1. Created GpuConfig Struct ✅
File: feagi-core/crates/feagi-burst-engine/src/backend/mod.rs
Added (lines 249-319):
/// GPU configuration from application config (TOML)
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct GpuConfig {
pub use_gpu: bool,
pub hybrid_enabled: bool,
pub gpu_threshold: usize,
pub gpu_memory_fraction: f64,
}
impl GpuConfig {
pub fn to_backend_selection(&self) -> (BackendType, BackendConfig) {
// Converts high-level GPU config to backend parameters
...
}
}
Features:
- ✅ Simple interface for application layer
- ✅ Converts to backend parameters automatically
- ✅ Handles all config scenarios (disabled, hybrid, always-on)
- ✅ Cross-platform (feature-gated for GPU/no-GPU builds)
2. Added Backend Field to RustNPU ✅
File: feagi-core/crates/feagi-burst-engine/src/npu.rs
Added to struct (line 99):
pub struct RustNPU {
...
pub(crate) backend: std::sync::Mutex<Box<dyn crate::backend::ComputeBackend>>,
...
}
Why: NPU now holds the compute backend (CPU or GPU) and uses it for burst processing
3. Updated RustNPU::new() Signature ✅
File: feagi-core/crates/feagi-burst-engine/src/npu.rs
Updated signature (lines 127-178):
pub fn new(
neuron_capacity: usize,
synapse_capacity: usize,
fire_ledger_window: usize,
gpu_config: Option<&crate::backend::GpuConfig>, // NEW PARAMETER
) -> Self {
// Create GPU config from TOML
let (backend_type, backend_config) = if let Some(config) = gpu_config {
info!("🎮 GPU Configuration:");
info!(" GPU enabled: {}", config.use_gpu);
info!(" Hybrid mode: {}", config.hybrid_enabled);
info!(" GPU threshold: {} synapses", config.gpu_threshold);
config.to_backend_selection()
} else {
(BackendType::CPU, BackendConfig::default())
};
// Create backend
let backend = create_backend(backend_type, ...)?;
info!(" ✓ Backend selected: {}", backend.backend_name());
Self {
...
backend: std::sync::Mutex::new(backend),
...
}
}
Features:
- ✅ Accepts GPU config parameter
- ✅ Creates appropriate backend (CPU/GPU)
- ✅ Logs backend selection decision
- ✅ Backward compatible (None = CPU backend)
4. Created import_connectome_with_config() ✅
File: feagi-core/crates/feagi-burst-engine/src/npu.rs
Added methods (lines 940-1035):
pub fn import_connectome(snapshot: ConnectomeSnapshot) -> Self {
Self::import_connectome_with_config(snapshot, None)
}
pub fn import_connectome_with_config(
snapshot: ConnectomeSnapshot,
gpu_config: Option<&crate::backend::GpuConfig>,
) -> Self {
// Import neuron/synapse arrays
...
// Create backend based on actual genome size
info!("🎮 Imported Connectome GPU Configuration:");
info!(" Neurons: {}, Synapses: {}", neuron_array.count, synapse_array.count);
if config.hybrid_enabled && synapse_array.count >= config.gpu_threshold {
info!(" → Genome ABOVE threshold, GPU will be considered");
}
let backend = create_backend(...)?;
info!(" ✓ Backend created: {}", backend.backend_name());
Self { ..., backend, ... }
}
Features:
- ✅ Backward compatible (
import_connectomestill works) - ✅ GPU-aware variant for new code
- ✅ Logs genome size vs threshold
- ✅ Creates backend based on actual genome size
5. Wired Config in feagi Binary ✅
File: /Users/nadji/code/FEAGI-2.0/feagi/src/main.rs
Added (lines 28, 155-168):
use feagi_burst_engine::backend::GpuConfig;
// In initialize_components():
let gpu_config = GpuConfig {
use_gpu: config.resources.use_gpu,
hybrid_enabled: config.neural.hybrid.enabled,
gpu_threshold: config.neural.hybrid.gpu_threshold,
gpu_memory_fraction: config.resources.gpu_memory_fraction,
};
let npu = Arc::new(Mutex::new(RustNPU::new(
config.connectome.neuron_space,
config.connectome.synapse_space,
10,
Some(&gpu_config), // ✅ Config passed!
)));
Result: TOML config now controls backend selection!
6. Wired Config in feagi-inference-engine Binary ✅
File: /Users/nadji/code/FEAGI-2.0/feagi-inference-engine/src/main.rs
Added (lines 10, 67-77, 138-153):
use feagi_burst_engine::backend::GpuConfig;
// Added CLI arguments:
#[arg(long, default_value_t = true)]
gpu_enabled: bool,
#[arg(long, default_value_t = 1000000)]
gpu_threshold: usize,
#[arg(long, default_value_t = false)]
force_gpu: bool,
// In main():
let gpu_config = GpuConfig {
use_gpu: args.gpu_enabled,
hybrid_enabled: !args.force_gpu,
gpu_threshold: args.gpu_threshold,
gpu_memory_fraction: 0.8,
};
let mut npu = RustNPU::import_connectome_with_config(
connectome,
Some(&gpu_config),
);
Features:
- ✅ CLI control over GPU (
--gpu-enabled,--gpu-threshold,--force-gpu) - ✅ Config passed to NPU
- ✅ Logs GPU settings
7. Enabled GPU Feature in Cargo.toml Files ✅
File: /Users/nadji/code/FEAGI-2.0/feagi/Cargo.toml
Added (lines 22, 109-110):
feagi-burst-engine = { path = "../feagi-core/crates/feagi-burst-engine", features = ["gpu"] }
[features]
default = ["gpu"]
gpu = ["feagi-burst-engine/gpu"]
File: /Users/nadji/code/FEAGI-2.0/feagi-inference-engine/Cargo.toml
Added (lines 22, 68-69):
feagi-burst-engine = { path = "../feagi-core/crates/feagi-burst-engine", features = ["gpu"] }
[features]
default = ["gpu"]
gpu = ["feagi-burst-engine/gpu"]
Result: GPU support compiled by default!

- ✅ Safe fallback (GPU → CPU if GPU fails)
⚠️ Known Limitations
Current Status:
-
Not Validated Yet: GPU backend hasn't been tested for correctness
- Impact: May have bugs
- Next Step: CPU vs GPU correctness validation
-
LIF Model Only: GPU shaders only support LIF neurons
- Impact: Multi-model genomes use CPU for non-LIF areas
- Next Step: Multi-model GPU support (later)
-
State Sync Incomplete: GPU state not fully synced to CPU
- Impact: Visualization may show stale state
- Next Step: Implement state download
-
No Empirical Data: Speedup model is theoretical
- Impact: May over/under-estimate GPU benefit
- Next Step: Benchmark with real genomes
