Agile Readiness: Leveraging CI Relay and Full-Scale Test Reuse
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026 · 2026-09-07..09-09·
summary
Describes Ascend’s approach to keeping up with PyTorch’s fast two-week release cadence for heterogeneous accelerators by refactoring tests to be device-agnostic (using instantiate_device_type_tests and dynamic skipping) so 580K+ community tests can be reused for API/feature parity, and by using a Cross-Repo CI Relay (CRCR) that performs real-time co-compilation and testing between PyTorch PRs and accelerator code to catch regressions during the PR stage and meet one-month release targets.
