Summary

  • Allow a model's element map to be a subset of an LMDB's declared element table when the unsupported entries are unused.
  • Derive batch layout from a selected frame and inspect only the box for PBC discovery, so an unselected unsupported frame cannot reject a valid selection.
  • Share lookup construction between LmdbDataReader and LmdbTestData, and validate the actual nonnegative atom-type indices in the common frame decoder.
  • Reject genuinely unsupported elements before writing remapped types, with the dataset, original frame index, and element names in the error. Preserve negative virtual-atom sentinels and positive-index bounds checking.

Motivation and behavior

An LMDB element table defines the source index namespace; it does not imply that every listed element occurs in the frames being read. Both readers currently reject a declared element missing from the model before examining the data.

For example, source metadata [O, He, H], actual atom types [0, -1, 2], and model types [H, O] should produce [1, -1, 0]. The unused He entry must not reject these frames. A later frame that actually uses source type 1 still fails rather than turning that real atom into a virtual sentinel.

Validation occurs when frames are decoded, including spawned decoder workers. This requires no additional dataset-wide scan and preserves selected-frame testing. The LMDB format and stored data do not change; missing source metadata and omitted test-model type maps retain their existing index interpretation.

Validation

  • The three new focused regression cases fail against the base because construction rejects the declared element table before decoding.
  • 165 related CPU tests and 21 subtests passed, covering the common LMDB reader/decoder, PT consistency and loading, and PT-expt data-system paths.
  • Reverse-order regressions fail before the follow-up fix and pass afterward, including real parallel batch decoding and box/zero-box/missing-box PBC probes.
  • Coverage includes reordered subsets, virtual atoms, unsupported elements in a later frame, selected-frame limits, malformed positive indices, and real spawned-worker success/failure.
  • Ruff, read-only formatting/import-order checks, and non-formatting commit hooks including Pylint passed. Independent pre-push review completed.

No GPU testing, full-dataset model inference, or performance claims.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • LMDB datasets can now be read with a model that supports only a subset of the source type map when unsupported types are absent from the frames being read.
    • If a decoded frame contains an unsupported atom type, reading reports an error identifying the frame and incompatible types.
    • Virtual atoms retain their sentinel type during decoding.
    • Selecting frames or checking periodic boundary conditions no longer requires validating an unselected first frame.

Validate unsupported elements when decoding real atoms and share type-map construction across training and testing readers. Preserve virtual atom sentinels and strict positive-index bounds checks.

📝 Walkthrough

LMDB readers now allow source type maps to contain elements absent from the model map. Decoding raises ValueError if a real atom uses an unsupported element. Negative atom-type sentinels remain unchanged. Batch stride discovery and test-data PBC detection use selected or retained frames.

Changes: LMDB Type-Map Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remap types and validate decoded frames
deepmd/dpmodel/utils/lmdb_data.py, source/tests/common/dpmodel/test_lmdb_data.py
Reader and test-data paths map unsupported source symbols to -1. Frame decoding raises ValueError when a real atom uses an unsupported type. Tests cover direct, batch, parallel-worker, and test-data decoding, plus invalid positive source indices.
Use selected frames for layout and PBC checks
deepmd/dpmodel/utils/lmdb_data.py, source/tests/common/dpmodel/test_lmdb_data.py
Per-atom stride discovery uses the requested dataset index. PBC detection reads the first retained frame’s raw record and decodes its box. Tests check that unsupported types in unselected frames do not block selected-frame decoding or PBC discovery.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Derive batch strides without decoding an unselected frame.

If frame 0 uses unsupported He and frame 1 uses only supported types, reader.decode_batch([1]) fails. batch_layout() calls per_atom_strides(), which decodes self[0] before it decodes frame 1. Derive strides from a selected frame or from type-independent shape data so an excluded frame cannot block a valid batch.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not validate an unselected frame during the PBC probe.

If the first retained frame uses unsupported He, LmdbTestData construction raises before a caller can request a supported frame with get_test_by_indices([1]). The PBC probe needs the box, but _read_frames() also validates atom types. Read the box for this probe without decoding the frame’s atom types.

Reviewed f3a9ff4. The shared remap and decoder's real-atom validation look sound: reordered subsets preserve negative sentinels, unsupported real atoms raise before assignment, and positive out-of-range lookup indices still raise. However, I independently reproduced the two selection-path failures already identified in review 5609542874, so this is not yet source LGTM for the stated selected-frame behavior.

With source types [O, He, H], model types [H, O], frame 0 containing [0, -1, 1] and frame 1 containing [0, -1, 2]:

  • reader[1] succeeds, but reader.decode_batch([1]) raises for frame 0. The exact decode_batch -> batch_layout -> per_atom_strides path probes self[0] before decoding the requested batch.
  • LmdbTestData(..., shuffle_test=False) raises for frame 0 in its constructor's PBC probe, before a caller can request get_test_by_indices([1]). Selecting only frame 1 at construction succeeds, which confirms the remap itself is not the issue.

Please add the reverse-order regressions (unsupported first, supported selected later) and derive layout/PBC metadata without validating an excluded frame. Current new tests put the supported frame first and therefore do not cover these cases.

Independent verification executed the exact decoder/remap and reader selection methods with NumPy and bounded in-memory I/O doubles, including successful remapping, all-negative sentinels, bounds errors, diagnostics and the selected-frame positive control. This is not a native LMDB or spawned-worker test; lmdb and PyTorch are unavailable locally. I inspected the author's reported 163 CPU tests/15 subtests but did not rerun them. Hosted Python/C++ CI is still partially running; actual CUDA test jobs are skipped. No code or CI changes made.

Incremental source LGTM for f3a9ff4 -> 6dad114. This addresses both selection-path blockers reproduced in my previous review: batch layout now initializes its cached per-atom strides from a requested index rather than self[0], and LmdbTestData's PBC probe unpacks only the raw box metadata instead of decoding/validating excluded atom types. Real decoding still rejects a selected unsupported frame; negative type sentinels and the existing remap validation are unchanged.

I executed the exact changed layout/stride methods with bounded NumPy reader doubles, checking selection [1,1], cached reuse, and rejection of selected frame 0. I also executed the exact new PBC block with the actual key-remap/array-decoder helpers and msgpack payloads: cells, box, zero box, and missing box all produce the intended result without atom-type validation. These controls pass. The committed reverse-order regressions additionally cover serial/two-worker iteration and later selected-frame test-data access, precisely the gaps in the prior tests.

Native lmdb and PyTorch are unavailable locally, so I have not rerun spawned-worker/native integration tests. Current-head hosted CI remains partly running; actual CUDA testing is skipped. This review clears the prior source finding, not pending CI or GPU acceptance. REVIEW ONLY: no code, branch, CI, auto-merge or merge changes.
