Major fixes:
- Added tiled_mma_sfb creation (always CtaGroup.ONE, rounded N)
- Added mma_tiler_sfb, cta_tile_shape_mnk_sfb, cluster_layout_sfb_vmnk
- Use blockscaled_utils.make_smem_layout_sfa/sfb (with sf_vec_size)
instead of sm100_utils (which doesn't support block-scaled SF layouts)
- Proper TMEM column accounting for SFA + SFB + accumulator
- Fixed make_blockscaled_trivial_tiled_mma argument order
(a_dtype, b_dtype, a_major, b_major, sf_dtype, sf_vec_size, cta_group, mma_inst_shape)
- Fixed SFB TMA atom to use tiled_mma_sfb and cluster_layout_sfb_vmnk
- Fixed SFB partition_SFB to use tiled_mma_sfb.get_slice
- Fixed SFB global tile partitioning to use mma_tiler_sfb
- Fixed mainloop_s2t_copy_and_partition to use TMEM fragments
(make_fragment_SFA/SFB) as the tSF parameter
- Updated run_nvfp4_fused_router wrapper to accept processed weight
tensors from Nvfp4Linear._mat_b and _scale_b
- Updated test to properly build Nvfp4Linear and use processed weights
The old code was a rough sketch that never worked — it was missing
the entire tiled_mma_sfb infrastructure, used wrong SMEM layout
functions, and had broken TMA atom setup for scale factors.
Single-kernel NVFP4 block-scaled GEMM + fused sqrt(softplus) + top-k
epilogue. Avoids materializing intermediate FP32 logits to GMEM.
Architecture: 6-warp specialization
- Warp 5 (TMA): Load A, B, SFA, SFB from GMEM → SMEM
- Warp 4 (MMA): NVFP4 block-scaled GEMM → FP32 accumulator in TMEM
- Warps 0-3 (EPI): TMEM → registers → sqrt(softplus) + bias + top-k → GMEM
Epilogue maintains per-thread min-heap across N subtiles, then
merges all 128 threads' heaps in SMEM for final top-k selection.
Mirrors Sm100BlockScaledPersistentDenseGemmKernel structure for
TMA/MMA/SFA/SFB handling, with custom top-k epilogue replacing
the standard SwiGLU + TMA store path.
NOTE: This is WIP — needs compilation testing on B200. Several
API details (tiled_mma_sfb, cluster_layout_sfb_vmnk) need to
be passed through the kernel parameters properly.
The dense router now uses NVFP4 GEMM via Nvfp4Linear for the gate
projection when NVFP4 scales are available in the checkpoint. This
replaces the BF16 cuBLAS GEMM with Blackwell SM100 tensor-core
NVFP4 acceleration.
Changes:
- dsv4/layers/router.py: add gate_lin (Nvfp4Linear) alongside W_gate
fallback. New load_nvfp4_gate() method.
- dsv4/kernels/router/dense_router_decode.py: add
dense_router_dispatch_nvfp4() using Nvfp4Linear + activation_topk
- dsv4/kernels/router/__init__.py: export new function
- single_shot_inference.py: load NVFP4 gate weights when available,
fall back to BF16 when not
The compressor_reduce.cu kernel now adds position_bias to BOTH kv and
gate values, matching the PyTorch reference. Previously the kernel only
added it to gate, and a Python workaround loop was adding it to both
before the kernel call (then passing None to the kernel).
Changes:
- compressor_reduce.cu: add position_bias to kv_val in pass 2 (CSA + HCA)
- single_shot_inference.py: remove Python position_bias loop, pass
self.ape directly to csa/hca_compress_production
- production_compress.py: already supports position_bias passthrough
- New compressor_reduce.cu: CSA/HCA token-level softmax + weighted sum + kv_norm
One block per compressed entry, 128 threads, FP32 accumulation
CSA: overlapping Ca/Cb streams (2m tokens per block)
HCA: single stream (m tokens per block)
Includes apply_kv_norm kernel (unweighted RMSNorm + weight)
- New production_compress.py: Python wrapper for CUDA kernels
- single_shot_inference.py: Compressor/Indexer now use production Nvfp4Linear
for kv_proj, gate_proj, q_b_proj, weights_proj projections
Then CUDA reduce kernel for softmax + weighted sum
No more PyTorch reference nvfp4_linear_ref in compressor/indexer path
Critical bug: checkpoint weights are (N_packed, K_packed) N-major format,
but make_b_k_major expects (E, K_packed, N_packed) input. Without the
permute, the K and N dimensions are swapped, producing garbage output
with wrong dimensions (e.g., q_a output was 3584 instead of 1536).
Also fix scale assembly: checkpoint scales are (N, K_sf) which should
use assemble_raw_scales_2d3d_3d_side (no transpose), not
assemble_scales_3d_side (which incorrectly transposes K_sf↔N).
The CuTeDSL kernel expects float4_e2m1fn_x2 dtype for FP4 weight tensors,
but checkpoint weights from safetensors are loaded as uint8. The uint8 and
float4_e2m1fn_x2 have the same byte representation, so .view() is safe.
Fixed in:
- Nvfp4Linear.finalize_weights()
- Nvfp4SharedExpert.finalize_weights()
- Nvfp4MoE._ensure_stacked() (both stacked and legacy paths)
Critical bug fix: weight_scale_2 (the second-level NVFP4 scale) was
being dropped entirely in the production pipeline. The dequant formula
is lut[w] * weight_scale * weight_scale_2, so weight_scale_2 must be
folded into the GEMM's global_scale_b parameter.
Fixes in:
- Nvfp4Linear: ws2 field, folded in finalize_weights()
- Nvfp4MoE: l1_ws2/l2_ws2 lists, folded in _ensure_stacked()
- Nvfp4SharedExpert: l1_ws2/l2_ws2 lists, folded in finalize_weights()
- single_shot_inference.py: pass weight_scale_2 through all loading paths
- Also fix missing o_a_prod key fallback in attention output
The sink bias from the checkpoint is already in the scaled domain
(added to QK*scale in the reference softmax). The kernel's
running_max is max(QK*scale), so the sink should be compared
directly without multiplying by scale again.
When N<128, padded KV positions have my_p_vals[col] uninitialized
for col >= kv_len. The PV GEMM then computes garbage_P × zero_V,
which can produce NaN on tensor cores (0 × NaN = NaN).
Fix: zero-initialize my_p_vals so padded positions contribute 0.
ROOT CAUSE: fmha_multitile_op.py padded N to 128 for TMA alignment
but then passed the PADDED N to the kernel as s_k (logical KV length).
This told the kernel all 128 entries were valid, so softmax ran over
zeros, diluting the result (e.g. 1 valid entry → softmax weight 1/128).
FIX: Pass N_orig (true sequence length) as s_k for softmax masking,
and N_padded (physical size) only for TMA descriptor creation.
The kernel's existing col < kv_len guard correctly excludes padded
entries from row_max and exp_sum calculations.
Files changed:
- fmha_multitile_capi.cu: accept N_orig + N_padded, use N_orig for
params.s_k and N_padded for TMA descriptors
- fmha_multitile_op.py: pass N_orig and N_padded separately
- single_shot_inference.py: removed SDPA fallback (kernel now correct)
Bugs fixed (verified against HuggingFace DeepseekV4HyperConnection):
1. fn/base/scale ordering was [pre,comb,post], should be [pre,post,comb]
- Was applying Sinkhorn to post values and 2*sigmoid to comb values
- This caused residual to grow unbounded (no doubly-stochastic constraint)
2. comb (B_l) must be TRANSPOSED in post_block
- HF: comb.transpose(-1,-2) @ hidden_streams
- Was using B_l @ X_l without transpose
3. Sinkhorn must start from softmax(logits) + eps, not exp(logits)
- HF: softmax → col norm → (iters-1) alternating
- Was using exp → alternating (different convergence behavior)
4. Missing hc_eps on pre (A_l)
- HF: sigmoid(...) + hc_eps
- Was missing the eps guard
5. Renamed W_res→W_comb, S_res→S_comb, alpha_res→alpha_comb throughout
- Matches checkpoint naming and HF model
6. Fixed fallback mHC initialization to use new API
