+ # ComputeFence
16
+
17
+ **Don't lose another RunPod checkpoint to ephemeral disk before your job bills.**
18
+
19
+ One command before your training job starts. Catches the configuration mistakes that cost you hours of GPU compute and lost weights before billing begins.
20
+
21
+ Built for RunPod, Vast.ai, Lambda Labs, CoreWeave, Paperspace, and any bare metal GPU provider.
22
+
23

24
+
25
+ ## Install
26
+
27
+ ```bash
28
+ pip install computefence
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ No install required with UV:
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ uvx computefence doctor
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ ---
38
+
39
+ ## Usage
40
+
41
+ ```bash
42
+ computefence doctor
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ With dataset validation:
46
+
47
+ ```bash
48
+ computefence doctor --dataset train.csv --input-column text --label-column label
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ With checkpoint directory validation:
52
+
53
+ ```bash
54
+ computefence doctor --output-dir ./checkpoints
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ Add to your pod startup script so it runs automatically before every job:
58
+
59
+ ```bash
60
+ pip install computefence && computefence doctor && python train.py
61
+ ```

96
+
97
+ ## What It Checks
98
+
99
+ **CUDA and GPU visibility**
100
+ Confirms PyTorch can see the GPU. Catches silent CPU fallback before it runs for eight hours at 24 seconds per iteration instead of 0.4.
101
+
102
+ **HuggingFace cache path**
103
+ Confirms model weights are writing to persistent storage. If HF_HOME points to ephemeral disk your weights disappear when the pod stops.
104
+
105
+ **Accelerate GPU count**
106
+ Confirms your distributed training config matches the GPUs actually on the instance. A mismatch leaves GPUs idle for the entire run with no error message.
107
+
108
+ **Disk space headroom**
109
+ Checks free space on workspace volumes and root disk. Warns below 20 GB. Blocks below 5 GB. Catches the failure where checkpoints stop saving at 90 percent completion because the disk filled.
110
+
111
+ **Checkpoint output directory**
112
+ Confirms your training script's output path is on persistent storage not ephemeral disk. HF_HOME and your checkpoint directory are separate paths — fixing one does not fix the other.
113
+
114
+ **Dataset integrity**
115
+ Optional scan for duplicates, missing values, and conflicting labels. Pass --dataset to enable.
116
+
117
+ ---
118
+
119
+ ## What It Does Not Check
120
+
121
+ - Training script correctness
122
+ - Model architecture compatibility
123
+ - Learning rate or hyperparameter safety
124
+ - Runtime behaviour during the job
125
+ - GPU utilisation or dataloader throughput during training
126
+
127
+ ComputeFence addresses the job configuration layer before launch. It does not monitor the run.
128
+
129
+ ---
130
+
131
+ ## Why This Exists
132
+
133
+ I burned approximately £1,000 on GPU training runs that failed silently.
134
+
135
+ CUDA fell back to CPU with no error message. 24 seconds per iteration instead of 0.4. Class weights caused loss to collapse to 0.693 immediately. My dataset had 28,432 duplicate rows and 312 conflicting labels I only found after the run finished.
136
+
137
+ Nothing existed that caught these before the job started. So I built it.
138
+
139
+ ---
140
+
141
+ ## Real Operator Results
142
+
143
+ **David at Neuralic** ran ComputeFence on a RunPod A100. It caught HF_HOME writing to /root/.cache and an Accelerate GPU count mismatch. He fixed both before launch.
144
+
145
+ **Shahzeb Ali**, a computer vision engineer running client training jobs on RunPod, confirmed the storage warning matches real pod behaviour. He would not have caught the HF_HOME issue without the tool.
146
+
147
+ **An independent Vast.ai operator** ran computefence doctor six times overnight before a real training job without being prompted or paid to do so.
148
+
149
+ Thirteen independent ML engineers confirmed this problem across RunPod, Vast.ai, and AWS. Nine had lost checkpoints to ephemeral disk. Five confirmed Docker does not solve job-specific configuration mistakes.
150
+
151
+ ---
152
+
153
+ ## The Problem It Solves
154
+
155
+ A healthy GPU does not mean you are running the right job.
156
+
157
+ Docker makes environments reproducible. It does not check whether your HuggingFace cache is writing to ephemeral storage that disappears on pod stop, whether your Accelerate config matches the GPUs on the instance, or whether your checkpoint output directory is on persistent storage.
158
+
159
+ ComputeFence addresses the job configuration layer — not the environment layer.
160
+
161
+ HF_HOME and your checkpoint output directory are separate paths. Fixing one does not fix the other. Both disappear on pod restart if they point to ephemeral disk.

21
- ## Install
22
-
23
- ```bash
24
- pip install computefence
25
- ```
26
-
27
- Or with UV (no install required):
28
-
29
- ```bash
30
- uvx computefence doctor
31
- ```
32
-
33
- ---
34
-
35
- ## Usage
36
-
37
- ```bash
38
- computefence doctor
39
- ```
40
-
41
- With a dataset:
42
-
43
- ```bash
44
- computefence doctor --dataset train.csv --input-column text --label-column label
45
- ```
46
-
47
- With checkpoint output directory validation:
48
-
49
- ```bash
50
- computefence doctor --output-dir ./checkpoints
51
- ```
52
-
53
- Add to your pod startup script so it runs automatically before every job:
54
-
55
- ```bash
56
- pip install computefence && computefence doctor && python train.py
57
- ```

- ## What it checks
90
-
91
- - **CUDA and GPU visibility** — confirms PyTorch can see the GPU and training will not silently fall back to CPU
92
- - **HuggingFace cache path** — confirms model weights go to persistent storage not ephemeral disk that disappears on pod stop
93
- - **Accelerate GPU count** — confirms your distributed training config matches the GPUs actually on the instance
94
- - **Disk space headroom** — checks free space on workspace volumes and root disk. Warns below 20 GB, blocks below 5 GB
95
- - **Checkpoint output directory** — confirms your training script's output path is on persistent storage not ephemeral disk (`--output-dir`)
96
- - **Dataset integrity** — optional scan for duplicates, missing values, and conflicting labels (`--dataset`)
97
-
98
- ---
99
-
100
- ## What it does not check
101
-
102
- - Training script correctness
103
- - Model architecture compatibility
104
- - Learning rate or hyperparameter safety
105
- - Runtime monitoring during the job
106
- - Dataloader throughput or GPU utilisation during training
107
-
108
- ---
109
-
110
- ## Why this exists
111
-
112
- I burned approximately £1,000 on GPU training runs that failed silently.
113
-
114
- CUDA fell back to CPU with no error. 24 seconds per iteration instead of 0.4. Class weights caused loss collapse to 0.693 immediately. My dataset had 28,432 duplicate rows and 312 conflicting labels I only found after the run.
115
-
116
- Nothing existed that caught these before the job started. So I built it.
117
-
118
- ---
119
-
120
- ## Real operator results
121
-
122
- **David at Neuralic** ran ComputeFence on a RunPod A100. It caught HF_HOME writing to `/root/.cache` and an Accelerate GPU count mismatch. He fixed both before launch.
123
-
124
- **Shahzeb Ali**, a computer vision engineer running client training jobs on RunPod, confirmed the storage warning matches real pod behaviour and would not have caught the HF_HOME issue explicitly without the tool.
125
-
126
- **Seven overnight organic runs** appeared in telemetry from a Vast.ai operator running the tool six times in two minutes before a real training job — without being prompted or paid to do so.
127
-
128
- ---
129
-
130
- ## The problem it solves
131
-
132
- A healthy GPU does not mean you are training the right job.
133
-
134
- Docker makes environments reproducible. It does not check whether your HuggingFace cache is writing to ephemeral storage that disappears on pod stop, whether your Accelerate config matches the GPUs actually on the instance, or whether your training script's checkpoint output directory is on persistent storage. ComputeFence addresses the job configuration layer — not the environment layer.
135
-
136
- HF_HOME and your checkpoint output directory are separate paths. Fixing one does not fix the other. Both disappear on pod restart if they point to ephemeral disk.
137
-
138
- Thirteen independent ML engineers confirmed this problem independently across RunPod, Vast.ai, and AWS. Five confirmed that Docker does not solve job-specific configuration mistakes.
