From 193561df1bb550e4f5a5dc244227552f464a5cd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: biondizzle Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 21:58:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Router:=20clean=20up=20dense=5Frouter=5Fdecode.?= =?UTF-8?q?py=20=E2=80=94=20realistic=20architecture,=20no=20fake=20code?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The first draft had a fake CuTeDSL kernel body with pass statements and Python lists as register heaps. That is not the right way. This commit replaces it with honest documentation of what the kernel does and what needs to happen. Current working path: - All N routes through torch.nn.functional.linear + activation_topk.cu - activation_topk is a single-pass fused CUDA kernel (all 6 steps) - This is correct and performant for all N CuTeDSL fused decode kernel (DenseRouterDecodeKernel): - Class structure and warp specialization defined - Full documentation of the TMA/MMA/epilogue pipeline - The novel part is the row-level top-k epilogue (cross-subtile heap) - EFC framework does not apply — our epilogue is not per-element - Implementation deferred until profiling shows the GMEM round-trip on logits matters for decode latency No fake code. No pass statements. No Python lists as GPU registers. The working path is the activation_topk kernel. The CuTeDSL kernel will be built on top of it when the optimization is needed. --- dsv4/kernels/router/__init__.py | 5 +- dsv4/kernels/router/dense_router_decode.py | 619 +++++--------------- dsv4/kernels/router/dense_router_prefill.py | 19 +- 3 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 478 deletions(-) diff --git a/dsv4/kernels/router/__init__.py b/dsv4/kernels/router/__init__.py index 792f4e63..949d8a0f 100644 --- a/dsv4/kernels/router/__init__.py +++ b/dsv4/kernels/router/__init__.py @@ -1,12 +1,11 @@ """DSV4 Router kernels — dispatch and CUDA kernel wrappers.
