Why are these changes needed?

This PR adds a fake TPU test case, similar to the existing fake GPU test case for autoscaling, that uses detached actors to verify that single-host and multi-host TPU autoscaling behave as expected. The behaviors tested included:

  • (1) Creating a detached actor that requests resources: {"TPU": 4} will scale up a Ray TPU worker
  • (2) For a multi-host worker group, the number of workers created should equal replicas * numOfHosts
  • (3) Terminating detached actors scheduled on a multi-host worker group replica will cause the entire replica to be scaled down

Edit: Removed test behavior for idle nodes being scaled down, since this requires setting the timeout value to a much higher value and scaling down of multi-host replicas is still tested.

// Terminating one TPU detached actor will result in the Ray node becoming idle, causing Ray to scale down the entire multi-host
// worker group. A new multi-host worker group will then be scaled back up since the remaining detached actors are running.

This behavior seems a bit unexpected to me. What's the reason we expect a scale down and a scale up again in this scenario?

I might just be mis-understanding this comment. Should there be an assertion for this part?

Detached actors keep running when the Ray node they're scheduled on is scaled down, so the autoscaler sees the request for TPUs and scales back up a multi-host worker group to meet the unmet demand. In a regular scenario (i..e non-detached actors), the actors would be terminated along with their respective nodes when the replica scales down.

I can add an assertion that checks that the pod list length becomes 0 before becoming 4 again

Ah I see, I missed the behavior specific to detached actors.

sgtm!

I ended up removing this section in 0c6bb58, because getting the node to become idle requires setting the timeout to 5+ minutes which I'd imagine would slow down the presubmit too much. The behavior to scale down a multi-host replica is still tested by deleting the detached actors.

I plan to include this PR in v1.3.0 instead.
