Description

Part 4 of the SM107 (Rubin) CuTe DSL series: foundation and BF16 kernels landed in #18369, quantized dense and DSV4 kernels in #18546, NVFP4 fused-MoE kernels in #18498. #18369 shipped the SM107 BF16 persistent dense GEMM kernels but nothing called them — no custom op wrapped them, and dispatch still routed SM107 to the Blackwell op. This PR adds that custom-op layer and routes SM107 to it.

Every SM107 path is gated on get_sm_version() == 107 and IS_CUTLASS_DSL_RUBIN_AVAILABLE (the latter requires a CuTe DSL dependency not yet in the pinned release), so this PR is inert on the current pin and on every non-SM107 GPU. SM100/SM103 keep selecting the existing Blackwell ops unchanged — the new runners subclass the Blackwell runner classes for shared TunableRunner plumbing but override tactic enumeration and launch entirely, so the Blackwell classes themselves are untouched.

Left out of this PR (follow-up)

Verification

  • Existing Blackwell BF16 CuTe DSL coverage passes unchanged; new SM107-gated tests pass their non-SM107 checks (op rejection, no tactics offered, fake registration) and skip the SM107-only cases.
  • SM107 (VR NVL72 ES, 107-real build of this head, CuTe DSL 4.8.0a0 with the SM107 helpers): test_cute_dsl_bf16_dense_rubin.py 15 passed / 3 skipped (the skips are the non-SM107 rejection checks); test_dense_gemm_act_fusion.py + test_low_m_gemm.py 23 passed / 19 skipped; Linear(use_cute_dsl_bf16_gemm=True) and MLA._bmm_bf16_out captured through the autotuner select trtllm::cute_dsl_bf16_{gemm,bmm}_rubin::gemm and match the torch reference (M=7/64/1024 GEMMs, batched BMM); the split-K harness run_dense_bf16_split_k_gemm_persistent.py passes its reference check.
  • Still draft: the pinned CuTe DSL release (4.7.0) does not ship the SM107 helpers, so CI cannot exercise the SM107 paths yet.

Summary

  • Added SM107 CuTe DSL BF16 GEMM and BMM custom operations.
  • Added Rubin tactic enumeration, persistent runners, split-K support, strided BMM support, and architecture guards.
  • Routed linear, MLA, and DeepSeek-V3 paths to Rubin on SM107.
  • Kept SM100 and SM103 on the existing Blackwell operations.
  • Registered both operations as in-place operations for torch.compile.

Dev Engineer Review

  • The implementation preserves architecture-specific dispatch and rejects unsupported hardware.
  • Fake implementations validate registration, shapes, and data types.
  • GEMM and BMM runners support tactic selection, caching, pipeline stages, and split-K execution.
  • Output accumulation is initialized for split-K GEMM.
  • Deferred work includes locality-domain variants, additional MLA call sites, strided-BMM optimization, and isolated tactic profiling.
  • No configuration or test-list files changed.

QA Engineer Review

Added tests:

  • test_sm107_bf16_gemm_rejects_other_archs
  • test_sm107_bf16_bmm_rejects_other_archs
  • test_sm107_bf16_runners_offer_no_tactics_off_sm107
  • test_sm107_bf16_ops_fake_registration
  • test_cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_rubin_op
  • test_cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_rubin_tactics
  • test_cute_dsl_bf16_split_k_gemm_rubin
  • test_cute_dsl_bf16_bmm_rubin_op
  • test_cute_dsl_bf16_bmm_rubin_tactics
  • test_cute_dsl_bf16_bmm_rubin_strided_views

The tests cover architecture gating, fake registration, numerical correctness, tactics, split-K behavior, repeated launches, and strided BMM inputs. The test module is not represented by a reported tests/integration/test_lists/ entry. Verdict: needs follow-up for CI test-list coverage.

The SM107 BF16 persistent dense GEMM kernels landed in NVIDIA#18369 but nothing
called them: no custom op wrapped them and the BF16 dispatch sites still
routed SM107 to the Blackwell op. Add the custom-op layer and route SM107 to
it.

- cute_dsl_custom_ops.py: `trtllm::cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_rubin` and
  `trtllm::cute_dsl_bf16_bmm_rubin` with `CuteDSLBf16RubinGemmRunner` /
  `CuteDSLBf16RubinBmmRunner`. The runners subclass the Blackwell runners
  for the shared TunableRunner plumbing but override tactic enumeration and
  launch in full (preferred-cluster kernel variant, SM107 tactic pruning,
  direct split-K on the GEMM), so the Blackwell classes are untouched. Both
  ops raise unless get_sm_version() == 107 and the CuTe DSL package ships
  the SM107 helpers (IS_CUTLASS_DSL_RUBIN_AVAILABLE).
- linear.py (UnquantizedLinearMethod.apply), attention/mla.py
  (_bmm_bf16_out), modeling_deepseekv3.py (DeepseekV3Gate): pick the
  `*_rubin` op when get_sm_version() == 107, otherwise the existing
  `*_blackwell` op. SM100/SM103 call sites are unchanged.
- tests: SM107-gated correctness tests (op path, base and preferred-cluster
  tactics, split-K 2/4/8 in bf16 and fp32 output, strided BMM views) plus
  dispatch tests that run on every architecture and check the SM107 ops
  reject other SMs, offer no autotuner tactics, and register fakes.

Both ops mutate their output tensor; list them in the optional in-place op
table so graph compilation tracks the mutation when the ops are registered.

Walkthrough

Added SM107 Rubin CuTe DSL BF16 GEMM and BMM kernels. Updated architecture dispatch, compilation metadata, and DeepSeek V3 integration. Added tests for validation, tactics, split-K execution, numerical results, and strided inputs.

Changes

SM107 Rubin BF16 support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kernel discovery and runners
tensorrt_llm/_torch/custom_ops/cute_dsl_custom_ops.py
Adds SM107 tactic discovery, cluster validation, persistent BMM execution, shape-aware GEMM tiles, split-K execution, caching, and new Rubin custom operators.
Architecture dispatch and compilation metadata
tensorrt_llm/_torch/compilation/utils.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/linear.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_deepseekv3.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/mla.py
Routes SM107 BF16 GEMM and BMM calls to Rubin operators while retaining Blackwell dispatch for other architectures. Marks Rubin outputs as mutated.
Operator and execution validation
tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_bf16_dense_rubin.py
Tests architecture gating, fake registration, dtype and shape validation, tactics, split-K execution, repeated launches, numerical correctness, and strided BMM inputs.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the SM107 performance change because it adds Rubin BF16 GEMM/BMM kernels and dispatch across linear, MLA, and DeepSeek-V3 execution paths.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8ef4f

SM107 GEMM/BMM execution can fail during tactic profiling or when Rubin CuTe DSL helpers are unavailable. The illegal tactic must be filtered, availability-aware fallbacks added, and the affected tactic branches covered before merge.

59-64: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Extend tactic selection to cover 2-CTA and the 256-wide N tile.

_select_tactic pins t[1] is False, so every tactic test exercises only use_2cta_instrs=False. No test selects an mma_tiler_mn of (256, 256). The 2-CTA path changes the per-CTA M tile in _bf16_cluster_m_fits and in the preferred-cluster grid check, and the 256-wide N tile is the shape involved in the SM107 N-constraint filter.

Parametrize use_2cta_instrs and add a case that pins the tile shape, so both branches are validated on SM107 hardware.

601-603: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Rubin op dispatch does not check CuTe DSL SM107 availability. All three call sites select the Rubin op from get_sm_version() == 107 alone. The Rubin ops additionally require IS_CUTLASS_DSL_RUBIN_AVAILABLE and raise a ValueError otherwise. The PR description states that the pinned CuTe DSL release lacks the SM107 helpers, so on SM107 with that release these opt-in paths fail instead of computing a result. Add one shared predicate that requires both SM107 and the SM107 helpers, and fall back to the previous kernel when the helpers are absent.

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/linear.py#L601-L603: select cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_rubin only when the shared predicate holds; otherwise keep cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_blackwell or fall through to F.linear.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_deepseekv3.py#L899-L901: apply the same predicate before selecting cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_rubin; otherwise use dsv3_router_gemm_op.

Apply the CTA_N=256 / cluster_n=2 exclusion to preferred-cluster enumeration.

The base enumeration skips this SM107-illegal combination, but the preferred-cluster loop does not. Its (4, 2) preferred shape allows (256, 256) to pass both can_implement checks and reach profiling. Add the same guard before _bf16_cluster_m_fits.
