perf(rocm): reduce Kimi-K3 attention into stable outputs - #15
JohnQinAMD wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Add a fail-closed caller-owned all-reduce destination and thread it through row-parallel output projection so AMD Kimi-K3 KDA and MLA write directly into graph-stable decoder buffers. Default callers and NVIDIA call sites retain the existing allocation path; older AITER builds fall back to all-reduce plus copy.

Summary
Add a fail-closed
all_reduce_intopath for caller-owned output, thread theoptional destination through
RowParallelLinear, and let AMD Kimi-K3 KDA andMLA reduce directly into graph-stable decoder buffers.
This PR is stacked on #14 and depends on the companion AITER
caller-output support in JohnQinAMD/aiter-amd#27.
Design and fallback
output=None; their allocation and collective path isunchanged.
the existing projection-plus-copy; the AMD subclass overrides only that hook.
followed by a correctness-preserving copy.
NVIDIA Kimi-K3 call sites are unchanged.
Performance
The decoder previously launched 93 attention-output
copyBufferoperations pertoken across 69 KDA and 24 MLA layers. The candidate trace has zero.
Kimi-K3 TP8, batch 1, 8K input / 1K output, no speculative decoding on 8x

Candidate runs were 71.8136 and 71.8037 tok/s: +2.91% and -0.4051 ms/token.
Accuracy and validation
99/100.

git diff --checkpassed.Upstream overlap
vllm-project#50592 returns the KDA projection allocation directly. It does
not add caller-owned all-reduce output, graph-stable destinations, MLA support,
or the older-AITER fallback. The changes pursue the same KDA copy but are not
additive; this PR documents the broader measured ownership contract and must be
reconciled if vllm-project#50592 lands first.
