[None][feat] GVR V2 decode top-k goes hint-free by default: the bracket comes from the current row - #18410
Conversation
…acket from the current row
run_varlen(pre_idx=None) makes the self-sampling GVR decode kernel fully
self-contained -- no prev-step top-K hint tensor required:
- register families: bracket = min/max fold of the first k row values,
which already sit in the row-load register fragments (zero extra loads);
the hint prefetch and the hint-gather bracket arms (use_bm/use_img) are
compiled out under the hf arm; DEG cells keep the whole-row fold (n<=3k:
the row is the sample)
- clustered register family: P0 samples the first k row elements
(coalesced, cluster-uniform by construction, zero barrier changes)
- streaming families: gather_hint sites compiled out (sentinel
pass-through; a device-truth census on 886 real decode captures x
BS{1,8,64,512} shows these sites never fire on the accept path)
The hinted path is unchanged; pre_idx stays in the API as the eligibility
gate and future extension point (e.g. disagg true-top-K seeding). k comes
from indices.shape[1]; hint-free is auto-engine only. Exactness is
hint-independent by contract (tie-aware value-multiset checks all-pass on
real decode captures).

Summary
This PR makes GVR V2 decode Top-K hint-free in production.
run_varlen(logits, kv_lens, indices, ...)derives the search bracket from the current logits row andkfromindices.shape[1]; it no longer accepts, reads, updates, or seeds a previous-step Top-K tensor.This removes prior-state storage and lifecycle requirements, and covers cases where a valid prior cannot exist (first decode step, disaggregated generation, or deployments without a per-layer prior buffer). Final validation shows no correctness or accuracy regression, while hint-free V2 reduces end-to-end TPOT by 6–19% versus the production insertion/radix path across all six tested model/MTP cells.
What changes
run_varlendropspre_idxandengine;TopK.needs_gvr_priorremains true only for temporal implementations, so V2 skips prefill prior seeding.TRTLLM_GVR_V2_HINTEDand the hinted/hint-free launcher cache-key axis are removed;hint_freeis the uniform kernel compile flag.n <= kkeep identity indices plus-1padding. The compiled ABI retains its prior-tensor slot, but production aliases the output tensor into that slot and never reads it. Batch-uniform legacy entry points remain for tests and benchmarks only.Enablement and dispatch
TRTLLM_GVR_SELF_SAMPLING=1use_cute_dsl_topk: trueenable_heuristic_topk: falseV2 additionally requires CuTe DSL, SM100/103, checkpoint Top-K width in
{512, 1024, 2048}, and compression ratio1or4. If the rollout variable is set but a V2 prerequisite is unmet, dispatch remains on V1. Once V2 is selected, a failed FP32/stride/alignment format gate falls back to exact insertion/radix. An active V2 logsself-sampling GVR top-K engaged (... hint-free)once.Validation

oriis production insertion/radix,v1is temporal GVR, andhfis this PR. Speedup is baseline TPOT divided by candidate TPOT, so values above 1.0 mean the candidate is faster. Values are geomeans of per-repetition speedups. These are the final results and supersede the earlier interim comment.The V3.2 cells benefit most because every DSA layer runs the indexer and
K=2048makes decode Top-K a larger share of the step. Results span the pre-mergec1aa1eacand post-merge4fa138bfheads (including #18501) with consistent per-cell ratios.The CUDA Graph gauntlet also passed on Flash and Pro: hint-free MTP0/MTP3 at BS1, plus hint-free and V1 MTP3 at concurrency 8 with multi-bucket capture. Every run verified the engaged/mode log, no format-gate fallback, and no capture-time warmup miss.

Tests
test_gvr_selfsampling_topk.py: 77 passed — per-family varlen exactness againsttorch.topk, heterogeneous lengths, MTP row windows, short/zero-window rows, CUDA Graph capture/replay, dispatch, and cache keys.test_top_k.py: 13 passed.Scope and follow-up
Engine selection remains unchanged;
TRTLLM_GVR_SELF_SAMPLING=1is the rollout switch in this PR. Attention metadata may still allocate the prior arena whenever heuristic Top-K is enabled. Stacked follow-up #18446 replaces the environment switch with config-only two-level dispatch, removes the CUDA GVR heuristic, and stops allocating temporal prior state for V2.
