There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for adding the WSL2 note and documenting your findings.
I know these observations come from your test setup, but would you mind making this section a bit more general and avoiding references to specific card vendors or branded hardware where possible? Model names used for validation are of course fine, but I'd prefer not to call out vendors or cards in the main guidance for the project.
Thanks for the support and for documenting the WSL2 behavior.
Move the agency to the WDDM paravirtualization layer (the actual source of the residency limit and spill), express the spill diagnostic as the utilization/power divergence rather than a card-specific wattage, and keep the 24 GB GPU + driver only as a validation data point. Add a live-monitor command.

Thanks, that is a fair call. I have generalized the section:
Ready for another look whenever you have a moment, and thanks again for the review. |

As invited in #15: a README note for WSL2 users covering the two things that bite there.
One suggestion outside the README scope: an official escape hatch for UVA on WSL (an env var like
KVARN_FORCE_UVA=1, or detecting WSL and warning instead of failing) would spare users from editingplatform_utils.pyby hand. Happy to PR that separately if you want it.Environment for the measurements: WSL 2.7.3 (kernel 6.6.114), Windows 11 build 26100, driver 595.79, RTX 4090.
