So basically, if data is a DTensor, we should ensure it matches the state DTensor. And then, we always use the global shape. (I've hit this error before when
FusedAdamwas broken, which I fixed here: NVIDIA/TransformerEngine#2795)When would
datanot be a DTensor in the context of this function? 👀 Is it a bug or just so this function can be used outside of MLM / MBridge checkpointing?Uh oh!

Good point! Your fix in NVIDIA/TransformerEngine#2795 would indeed resolve this issue by making
FusedAdamoptimizer states (exp_avg,exp_avg_sq) DTensors, sodatawould always be a DTensor and the original code would work correctly.The case we've hit so far is specifically
FusedAdamproducing plain Tensor optimizer states. I'm not 100% sure whether other code paths could also pass plain Tensors to this function, but sincesplit_swiglu_linear_fc1doesn't enforce any type constraint ondata, I think it's safer to keep this fix on the MCore side as defensive programming. The DTensor case is the "easy" case, we just assert shape consistency there. The real fix ensures that even ifdatais a plain Tensor, the W/V split boundaries are computed in the correct (global) coordinate system.I've attached a visualization based on a deepseek proxy model experiment to help illustrate this. Hope this clarifies the motivation behind the fix.
