Michael Chus d1a22d782d Move power diag tests to validate/stress; fix GPU burn power saturation
- bee-gpu-stress.c: remove per-wave cuCtxSynchronize barrier in both
  cuBLASLt and PTX hot loops; sync at most once/sec so the GPU queue
  stays continuously full — eliminates the CPU↔GPU ping-pong that
  prevented reaching full TDP
- sat_fan_stress.go: default SizeMB 0 (auto = 95% VRAM) instead of
  hardcoded 64 MB; tiny matrices caused <0.1 ms kernels where CPU
  re-queue overhead dominated
- pages.go: move nvidia-targeted-power and nvidia-pulse from Burn →
  Validate stress section alongside nvidia-targeted-stress; these are
  DCGM pass/fail diagnostics, not sustained burn loads; remove the
  Power Delivery / Power Budget card from Burn entirely

ISO Build

bee ISO is built inside a Debian 12 builder container via iso/builder/build-in-container.sh.

Requirements

  • Docker Desktop or another Docker-compatible container runtime
  • Privileged containers enabled
  • Enough free disk space for builder cache, Debian live-build artifacts, NVIDIA driver cache, and CUDA userspace packages

Build On macOS

From the repository root:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh

The script defaults to linux/amd64 builder containers, so it works on:

  • Intel Mac
  • Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) via Docker Desktop's Linux VM

You do not need to pass --platform manually for normal ISO builds.

Useful Options

Build with explicit SSH keys baked into the ISO:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --authorized-keys ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Rebuild the builder image:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --rebuild-image

Use a custom cache directory:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --cache-dir /path/to/cache

Notes

  • The builder image is automatically rebuilt if the local tag exists for the wrong architecture.
  • The live ISO boots with Debian live-boot toram, so the read-only medium is copied into RAM during boot and the runtime no longer depends on the original USB/BMC virtual media staying present.
  • Target systems need enough RAM for the full compressed live medium plus normal runtime overhead, or boot may fail before reaching the TUI.
  • The NVIDIA variant installs DCGM 4 packages matched to the CUDA user-mode driver major version. For driver branch 590 / CUDA 13.x, the package family is datacenter-gpu-manager-4-cuda13 rather than legacy datacenter-gpu-manager.
  • Override the container platform only if you know why:
BEE_BUILDER_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh
  • The shipped ISO is still amd64.
  • Output ISO artifacts are written under dist/.
