From 4c44a1aa8354f6bc94fc79a21481aee1c713df76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ammar Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 12:00:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=A4=96=20Move=20tokenization=20to=20w?= =?UTF-8?q?orker=20thread=20pool?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Extracted tokenization into a worker thread pool to prevent blocking the main process. This change improves responsiveness during token counting operations. Changes: - Added TokenizerWorkerPool service to manage worker lifecycle - Created tokenizerWorker for off-thread token counting - Updated tokenizer.ts to use worker pool instead of direct encoding - Updated tsconfig.main.json to include workers directory for compilation - Added tests for tokenizer caching behavior _Generated with `cmux`_ --- src/services/tokenizerWorkerPool.ts | 161 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/utils/main/tokenizer.test.ts | 53 +++++++++ src/utils/main/tokenizer.ts | 37 +++++-- src/workers/tokenizerWorker.ts | 56 ++++++++++ tsconfig.main.json | 2 +- 5 files changed, 298 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/services/tokenizerWorkerPool.ts create mode 100644 src/utils/main/tokenizer.test.ts create mode 100644 src/workers/tokenizerWorker.ts diff --git a/src/services/tokenizerWorkerPool.ts b/src/services/tokenizerWorkerPool.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..120093fce --- /dev/null +++ b/src/services/tokenizerWorkerPool.ts @@ -0,0 +1,161 @@ +/** + * Tokenizer Worker Pool + * Manages Node.js worker thread for off-main-thread tokenization + */ + +import { Worker } from "worker_threads"; +import path from "path"; +import { log } from "@/services/log"; + +interface PendingRequest { + resolve: (counts: number[]) => void; + reject: (error: Error) => void; + timeoutId: NodeJS.Timeout; +} + +interface TokenizeRequest { + requestId: number; + model: string; + texts: string[]; +} + +interface TokenizeResponse { + requestId: number; + success: boolean; + counts?: number[]; + error?: string; +} + +class TokenizerWorkerPool { + private worker: Worker | null = null; + private requestCounter = 0; + private pendingRequests = new Map(); + private isTerminating = false; + + /** + * Get or create the worker thread + */ + private getWorker(): Worker { + if (this.worker && !this.isTerminating) { + return this.worker; + } + + // Worker script path - compiled by tsc to dist/workers/tokenizerWorker.js + // __dirname in production will be dist/services, so we go up one level then into workers + const workerPath = path.join(__dirname, "..", "workers", "tokenizerWorker.js"); + + this.worker = new Worker(workerPath); + this.isTerminating = false; + + this.worker.on("message", (response: TokenizeResponse) => { + this.handleResponse(response); + }); + + this.worker.on("error", (error: Error) => { + log.error("Tokenizer worker error:", error); + // Reject all pending requests + for (const [requestId, pending] of this.pendingRequests) { + clearTimeout(pending.timeoutId); + pending.reject(new Error(`Worker error: ${error.message}`)); + this.pendingRequests.delete(requestId); + } + }); + + this.worker.on("exit", (code: number) => { + if (!this.isTerminating && code !== 0) { + log.error(`Tokenizer worker exited with code ${code}`); + } + this.worker = null; + }); + + return this.worker; + } + + /** + * Handle response from worker + */ + private handleResponse(response: TokenizeResponse): void { + const pending = this.pendingRequests.get(response.requestId); + if (!pending) { + return; // Request was cancelled or timed out + } + + clearTimeout(pending.timeoutId); + this.pendingRequests.delete(response.requestId); + + if (response.success && response.counts) { + pending.resolve(response.counts); + } else { + pending.reject(new Error(response.error ??
