Description

Two C++ kernel speedups found on GLM-5.3-Flash, one commit each. The FP8 quantization change is bit-identical to main. The router GEMM change replaces cuBLAS with a kernel that accumulates in a different order, so the 288 x 4096 router logits change at FP32 rounding level.

1. Vectorized BF16-to-FP8 1x128 activation quantization

scale_1x128_kernel (behind fp8_quantize_1x128 and the FP8 block-scale GEMM runners) and scale_1x128_reshape_kernel (behind fp8_batched_quantize_1x128_permute102, the MLA BMM operand) use one warp per 128-wide group, with two 4-byte loads and four 1-byte stores per lane.

This PR adds vectorized variants: 16 lanes own one group, each loads its 8 inputs with one 16-byte load, the group amax is reduced with 4 warp shuffles, and each lane stores its 8 outputs with one 8-byte store. Partial last groups (for example K = 576) are handled in the same kernel. The scale arithmetic, including UE8M0 rounding, is copied unchanged.

The host launchers choose the vectorized kernel when every row holds whole 16-byte lane chunks (dim_x and the row stride divisible by 8) and the input and output are 16- and 8-byte aligned. Otherwise they launch the existing element-wise kernels unchanged, so unaligned inputs run the same code as before.

Kernel time (B200, profiler-measured kernel duration, median of 5 x 200 launches). All 88 benchmarked cases are bit-identical to main (FP8 bytes and scales).

reshape 8192 x 32 x 128, row stride 130 (element-wise kernel) 76.11 us 76.23 us 1.00x

No benchmarked case is slower: M from 1 to 16384, K in {576, 2048, 4096, 7168}, with and without UE8M0. Small M is launch-bound and unchanged (about 1.9 us).

End-to-end: GLM-5.3-Flash with trtllm-serve at TP4/EP4, MTP3, max_num_tokens 16384, max_seq_len 131072, on 4x B200, aiperf with sonnet prompts, ISL 13312 / OSL 33. Both builds use the same Python code (main); only the native library differs. Medians over 4 rounds from 2 server instances per build.

Metric main This PR Gain

C1 request latency p50 481.2 ms 477.6 ms +0.7%

Gain is the improvement over main: the reduction for latencies, the increase for throughput.

Memory is unchanged (warmup peak 98.88 GiB, KV cache 61.20 GiB per GPU on both builds).

2. 288-expert dsv3 router GEMM instantiation

dsv3_router_gemm_op has low-latency kernels only for 256 experts (hidden 7168 / 6144 / 4096). The expert count is part of shape_ok, so any other count, including GLM-5.3-Flash's 288 experts x hidden 4096, silently falls back to cuBLAS. This PR instantiates invokeRouterGemm<__nv_bfloat16, N, 288, 4096> for N = 1..16, moves the expert-count check into each dispatch branch, and adds a branch for 288 x 4096. Every other shape keeps the cuBLAS fallback.

Both the low-latency kernels and the cuBLAS fallback read rows of hidden_dim elements starting on a 16-byte boundary, but the op checked neither the row pitch nor the alignment. On main, an operand sliced from wider rows gives wrong logits on both paths, and one starting 8 bytes past a 16-byte boundary raises a CUDA error (misaligned address in the 256-expert kernels, a cuBLASLt error in the fallback for 256 x 7168 at 1-8 tokens). Such an operand is now copied once into a packed, aligned layout and passed to whichever path runs; packed, aligned operands, as the model passes them, are used without a copy. The BF16 kernels also now require the weight dtype to match the input.

The new kernel accumulates in a different order from cuBLAS: on the same input, most of the 288 x 4096 logits differ in the last FP32 bits (max absolute difference about 3.5e-4 on random data). Accuracy with this kernel in the model is covered by #20389's GSM8K once both PRs are in; the end-to-end numbers below run main's Python, which does not call this op.

Router GEMM at 288 x 4096 (B200, BF16 in, FP32 out):

Implementation Per call (CUDA events, 1-16 tokens) GPU kernel time (8 tokens)
dsv3_router_gemm_op, main (cuBLAS fallback) 12.9-13.2 us 5.9 us (2 kernels)
dsv3_router_gemm_op, this PR 6.6-6.8 us 3.3 us (1 kernel)
cute_dsl_bf16_gemm_blackwell 20.3-20.6 us 12.1 us

Decode and MTP verification run under CUDA graphs, where the kernel time applies: about 2.6 us saved per MoE layer, about 0.11 ms per forward over GLM-5.3-Flash's 42 MoE layers, once #20389 routes the gate through this op.

Environment: B200, nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorrt-llm/release:1.3.0rc25 with a source build of main 91c9b6d1cc (PyTorch 2.12 nv26.05, CUDA 13.2); rebased onto ed87ab0b01.

Notes: The router GEMM part only takes effect after #20389 merges. On current main, Glm5NextGate computes its logits with its own FP32 F.linear and never calls dsv3_router_gemm_op; #20389 switches it to the base DeepseekV3Gate GEMM. The FP8 quantization part takes effect on its own.

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/ (in l0_b200.yml):

  • test_fp8_quantize.py::test_fp8_quantize_1x128_vectorized_matches_elementwise[use_ue8m0]: the same 37 x 576 data (partial last group, padded scale rows) quantized from a 16-byte aligned buffer (vectorized kernel) and from one 4 bytes past the boundary (element-wise kernel) gives identical FP8 bytes and written scales, with and without UE8M0. The reshape kernel is exercised by the existing block-scale BMM tests, which call fp8_batched_quantize_1x128_permute102.
  • test_dsv3_router_gemm.py::test_router_gemm_run: now parametrized over explicit (num_experts, hidden_size) pairs (256 x 7168 / 6144 / 4096 and 288 x 4096) so 288 x 4096 runs the new kernel, and over the operand layout: both input and weights packed, starting 8 bytes past a 16-byte boundary, or sliced from wider rows; 1-16 tokens each. The logits are checked at atol=1e-2, rtol=1e-3, matching FP32 accumulation-order differences.

test_fp8_quantize.py, test_fp8_block_scale_gemm.py and test_dsv3_router_gemm.py pass on B200.

Dev Engineer Review

The change adds vectorized 1×128 quantization kernels for standard and reshaped inputs. The vectorized path requires compatible dimensions and strides, plus input and output alignment. Unsupported layouts retain the element-wise path. The reshape path disables UE8M0 rounding.

The change adds a dsv3_router_gemm_op path for 288 experts, hidden size 4096, and 1–16 tokens. Other shapes retain the cuBLAS fallback. The operator packs operands when their hidden-dimension stride or pointer alignment does not meet the kernel requirements. The specialized path also requires matching input and weight dtypes.

The router kernel accumulates in a different order from cuBLAS, so logits can differ at FP32 rounding precision. The reported model-accuracy follow-up depends on #20389 switching Glm5NextGate to the base DeepseekV3Gate GEMM. The PR objectives report B200 test passes and performance results; independent execution is not established here. The reported merge-request pipelines failed, and no later successful merge-request pipeline is supplied. Review finding counts are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

Modified tests cover quantization parity for aligned and offset BF16 inputs, with UE8M0 enabled and disabled. Router GEMM tests cover expert counts 256, 288, and 896 across the specified hidden sizes, token counts 1–16, and packed, unaligned, and padded operands. The supplied test-list search found no matching entries in the CI or manual-QA lists.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Unit tests cover the changed paths, but the router kernel’s model accuracy remains pending the stated integration coverage.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/fp8_blockscale_gemm/fp8_blockscale_gemm_kernel.cuh: Verify vectorized quantization selection for eligible dimensions, strides, and alignments. Verify fallback behavior for unsupported layouts and UE8M0 behavior on both standard and reshape paths.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/dsv3MinLatencyKernels/dsv3RouterGemm.cu: Verify the new BF16 specializations for 288 experts, hidden size 4096, and token counts 1–16.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/dsv3RouterGemmOp.cpp: Verify 288-expert dispatch and cuBLAS fallback behavior. Check operand packing for misaligned or padded inputs and the matching-dtype eligibility condition.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_dsv3_router_gemm.py: Covers router GEMM output tolerance and top-k agreement across expert counts, hidden sizes, token counts, and operand layouts. No matching CI or manual-QA list entry was found.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_fp8_quantize.py: Covers vectorized quantization parity for aligned and offset BF16 inputs with both UE8M0 settings. No matching CI or manual-QA list entry was found.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds vectorized 1x128 FP8 quantization paths with scalar fallbacks. It also extends low-latency router GEMM dispatch to support 288 experts with hidden size 4096 and adds tests for quantization alignment and router GEMM operand layouts.

Changes

Vectorized FP8 Quantization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Vectorized quantization kernels
cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/fp8_blockscale_gemm/fp8_blockscale_gemm_kernel.cuh
Adds vectorized regular and reshape kernels. The regular path supports optional UE8M0 rounding. The kernels compute group maxima, scales, and packed quantized outputs.
Launch selection and validation
cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/fp8_blockscale_gemm/fp8_blockscale_gemm_kernel.cuh, tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_fp8_quantize.py
Launch wrappers select vectorized kernels when alignment and divisibility conditions hold, and retain scalar fallbacks. Public and internal quantization calls use the wrappers. Tests compare aligned and offset inputs for both UE8M0 settings.

Router GEMM 288-Expert Support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kernel instantiations and dispatch
cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/dsv3MinLatencyKernels/dsv3RouterGemm.cu, cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/dsv3RouterGemmOp.cpp
Adds token-count instantiations for 288 experts at hidden size 4096. Dispatch packs operands when stride or alignment requires it, checks matching dtypes, and uses the specialized path for eligible inputs. Other inputs use cuBLAS with the packed operands.
Router GEMM layout coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_dsv3_router_gemm.py
Tests supported expert-count and hidden-size pairs with packed, unaligned, and padded operands. The test checks logits against an FP32 reference and checks top-k expert indices.

Tighten the accuracy check for the new 288-expert case.

The existing rtol=5e-2 assertion also applies to this new case. It can accept router logits with nearly 5% relative error, despite the expected difference being FP32 reduction order. Use an atol and rtol based on the observed rounding variance so a material routing regression fails. As per path instructions, “For numerical tests, require tolerances appropriate to dtype, quantization mode, backend, and expected numerical variance.”

Add a misaligned weight case.

The current offset applies only to input. Add a separate offset parameter for weight, create the offset allocation before reshaping it, and keep the existing reference comparison. weight.t() will retain the required column-major layout while exercising the mat_b alignment-copy branch.

Add a separate weight_storage_offset parameter to test_router_gemm_run and
parameterize it alongside storage_offset. Allocate extra elements for weight,
slice by the weight offset, then reshape to (num_experts, hidden_size); preserve
weight.t() and the existing reference comparison.

Add vectorized variants of scale_1x128_kernel and
scale_1x128_reshape_kernel: 16 lanes own one 128-wide group, each loading
its 8 inputs with one 16-byte load, reducing the group amax with warp
shuffles, and storing its 8 outputs with one 8-byte store. Partial last
groups are handled in the same kernel.

The host launchers pick the vectorized kernel when every row holds whole
16-byte lane chunks and the input and output are 16- and 8-byte aligned,
and otherwise launch the existing element-wise kernels unchanged. The
arithmetic, including the UE8M0 scale, is the same, so outputs are
bit-identical.

…5.3-Flash

dsv3_router_gemm_op has low-latency kernels only for 256 experts, so the
GLM-5.3-Flash router (288 experts x hidden 4096) fell back to cuBLAS.
Instantiate invokeRouterGemm for 288 x 4096 at 1-16 tokens and dispatch
to it; every other shape keeps the cuBLAS fallback.

The low-latency kernels load both operands in 16-byte chunks, and an
input starting 8 bytes past a 16-byte boundary raised a misaligned-address
error. Such an operand is now copied to an aligned buffer first; cuBLAS is
not a safe fallback because it also rejects that input for some shapes.

test_router_gemm_run now parametrizes explicit (experts, hidden) pairs, so
288 x 4096 runs the new kernel, and adds an 8-byte storage offset.

Signed-off-by: Ruocheng Jia <ruochengj@nvidia.com>
The low-latency router kernels and the cuBLAS fallback both read rows of
hidden_dim elements starting on a 16-byte boundary, so a padded or
misaligned operand gave wrong logits or a CUDA error on either path. Copy
such an operand into a packed, aligned layout once and pass it to whichever
path runs; packed, aligned operands are used as is. Also require the weight
dtype to match the input before taking the BF16 kernels.

test_router_gemm_run now builds both operands packed, 8 bytes past a
16-byte boundary, or sliced from wider rows, and checks the logits with a
tolerance matching FP32 accumulation-order differences.
