📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe grouped GEMM APIs now default to trusted execution, cache resolved pointer streams, and add a Torch-only fast path. Repeated output-allocating calls reuse cached operation metadata and dispatch without repeating normal validation. ChangesGrouped GEMM fast paths
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The optimization routes fresh tensors through a validation-free dispatch path based only on metadata, so invalid offsets, pointer values, or alignment can reach execution and cause incorrect launches or runtime failures. The descriptor cache can also grow without bound, and bias metadata changes may not invalidate the cached path; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Retain operand identity before validation-free dispatch.
Both caches use reusable id() values. A new tensor can reuse an old ID and initial version. _wrapper_fastpath also omits the bias_tensor version. A false hit bypasses validation and dispatches incompatible tensors.
Store weak references with both cache entries. Require every referent to match with is before dispatch, and remove entries when referents expire.

Include get_version(bias_tensor) in _fp_key.
On a fast-path hit, execute(_trusted=True) skips bias shape, stride, dtype, device, and alignment checks. Without the bias version, an in-place metadata or storage change leaves the key unchanged and can dispatch an invalid bias tensor.

Do not use metadata-only matches for trusted dispatch.
A fresh padded_offsets tensor can match _fastsig but contain a final offset greater than M. A fresh discrete b_ptrs tensor can match _fastsig but contain a null or unaligned pointer. A fresh tensor view can also retain matching metadata with an invalid data-pointer alignment.
This path calls _trusted=True, so _validate_offsets_once, _validate_pointer_values_once, and _validate_data_alignment do not run. The kernel can then access invalid memory.
Use the normal execution path for fresh operands. Restrict _trusted=True to cached weak operand references whose identities and versions still match, or validate every safety-critical invariant before trusted dispatch.

Remove the metadata-only `_wrapper_fastpath` hit that dispatches
`op.execute(..., _trusted=True)` for fresh tensors. Restrict trusted dispatch to
cached weak operand references whose identities and versions still match, or
perform all safety-critical offset, pointer-value, and data-alignment validation
before it; otherwise fall through to the normal execution path.
grouped_gemm_wrapper_sm100 rebuilt normalization + the compile cache key + full per-launch validation on every call (~94us host on m=n=k=2048, 8 experts). Add a metadata-keyed hot-loop fast path and make execute() trust its inputs by default. - fastsig() (in tensor_adapter): a cheap, torch-only, M-invariant operand signature -- read the torch attributes once and zero the extent-1 dims' strides, no adapter dispatch and no stride-order sort. ~2.4us for the operand set vs ~15us through the canonical adapters. Shared primitive for the imperative APIs' fast paths. - Wrapper fast path: key the compiled op by operand metadata (shape/stride/dtype/ device, M masked) and scalar config -- NOT object identity -- so a training loop passing fresh tensors of the same shape each step hits it (an id key only helps benchmarks that reuse the same objects). M-invariant, so a loop that only grows M reuses one compiled op. On a hit, allocate the outputs and dispatch. Torch-only. - execute() trusts by default: the hot path does no per-launch validation, just the pointer-stream record and the dispatch. This is an expert API -- matching the compiled shapes is the caller's contract. Pass _trusted=False for a fully checked launch; the wrapper does exactly that on the first call of each configuration, so wrapper users still get their inputs validated once before the trusted hot path. One _dispatch() launch site shared by both paths. Measured on SM100: wrapper 84 -> ~22us (same objects) / ~24us (fresh inputs), direct execute() ~22us, against a ~19us raw tvm-ffi dispatch floor a raw-module caller pays too. Output bit-identical to the checked path; dynamic M reuses one op; torch + jax grouped tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Drives the host overhead of the SM100 grouped GEMM (the ~94 µs "torch wrapper" case) down to the compiled-kernel dispatch floor, so FE's cost above the tvm-ffi dispatch is ~3 µs — the floor a caller pays invoking the raw tvm-ffi module directly. Pure Python, no kernel/DSL change. This is the reference template for the other imperative CuTeDSL APIs.
fastsig()(intensor_adapter) — a cheap, torch-only, M-invariant operand signature: read the torch attributes once and zero the extent-1 dims' strides; no adapter dispatch, no stride-order sort. ~2.4 µs for the operand set vs ~15 µs through the canonical adapters. The shared primitive behind the imperative APIs' fast paths.shape/stride/dtype/device, M masked) and scalar config, not object identity, so a training loop passing fresh tensors of the same shape each step hits it. M-invariant (extent-1 strides zeroed, M dim masked) → a loop that only grows M reuses one compiled op. On a hit: allocate the outputs and dispatch. Torch-only (JAX falls to the slow path).execute()trusts by default — the hot path does no per-launch validation, just the pointer-stream record and the dispatch. This is an expert API: matching the compiled shapes is the caller's contract. Pass_trusted=Falsefor a fully checked launch; the wrapper does exactly that on the first call of each configuration, so wrapper users still get their inputs validated once before the trusted hot path. One_dispatch()launch site shared by both paths.Why metadata, not object identity
An
id(tensor)key only hits when the same objects are re-passed — a benchmark that reuses its tensors. A real training loop passes fresh activations each step, so an id key misses (→ full ~94 µs path). The metadata key hits for fresh objects of the same shape. Verified: 3 distinct M values → 1 compiled op.Design notes (what this converged from)
_trustedflag + a per-operand descriptor cache are gone. Measurement drove it: a validated-set cache (validate-once-then-trust) still cost ~5 µs/call of key-building on the hot path for a first-call safety net that only helped directexecute()callers — the wrapper already validates first-call separately. Trusting by default removes that concept entirely and makes directexecute()fast (~71 → ~22 µs) too.fastsigis the only shared primitive; the ~25-line fast-path body stays per-API (each API's operands/outputs differ). Not extracted into a callback driver — per the repo's "engine autonomy over dedup" preference, the duplication is cheap and legible and the concept count stays at one.Measurement (SM100, bf16, m=n=k=2048, 8 experts; host cost / call, min-over-reps)
