Summary

Add a fused block-scaled MoE grouped GEMM kernel for Rubin (SM107) that computes GEMM + SwiGLU, applies a random Hadamard transform (RHT), and quantizes the activation to NVFP4 in a single kernel — producing both row-major and column-major quantized outputs with swizzled block scale factors. Supports E4M3 and E5M3 scale factors; E5M3 uses the sf_fp8_dtype_override mechanism introduced in #545.

New public API: GroupedGemmGluHadamardQuantSm100 / grouped_gemm_glu_hadamard_quant_wrapper_sm100 under python/cudnn/gemm/cutedsl/grouped/glu_hadamard_quant/, with docs in docs/fe-oss-apis/gemm_fusions/grouped_gemm_glu_hadamard_quant.md.

Why

MoE training recipes on Rubin quantize the SwiGLU activation to NVFP4 (optionally with a random Hadamard transform to spread outliers) before the next GEMM. Doing GEMM + SwiGLU + RHT + quantization in one fused kernel avoids materializing the BF16 activation and the extra memory round-trips of separate RHT/quantization kernels.

Related issues

Builds on #545 (E5M3 scale-factor support), which this PR uses for its E5M3 path.

API and compatibility impact

Purely additive: new kernel package, new lazy exports in cudnn/__init__.py and cudnn.gemm.cutedsl.grouped, one new docs page. Requires Rubin (SM107); no changes to existing kernels or APIs.

Testing

  • pre-commit run on all changed files: clean.
  • test/python/fe_api/grouped_gemm/test_grouped_gemm_glu_hadamard_quant.py (676 lines) covers the new kernel, including E4M3/E5M3 scale factors and dynamic-shape cases. Requires Rubin hardware, which this port was not run on — results from the internal CI of the source change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added grouped GEMM with GLU activation, optional Hadamard transforms, and NVFP4 quantization for SM100+ hardware.
    • Added support for SwiGLU, GeGLU, and SReLU activations, bias, dense or discrete expert weights, and configurable output formats.
    • Added Python APIs and convenience wrappers with dynamic-shape kernel caching.
  • Documentation
    • Added comprehensive API documentation covering inputs, outputs, configuration, limitations, and supported layouts and data types.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for quantization, transforms, activations, scale formats, error handling, and compilation-cache behavior.

…ion for Rubin

Fused MoE grouped GEMM kernel that computes GEMM + SwiGLU, applies a
random Hadamard transform (RHT), and quantizes the result to NVFP4
(with E4M3 or E5M3 block scale factors) in a single kernel, targeting
Rubin (SM107).

Ported from internal MR 2334. The sf_fp8_dtype_override plumbing it
depended on landed separately in NVIDIA#545.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ad2a5

The new fused Rubin GEMM, SwiGLU, transform, and quantization path may compute incorrect scale factors and quantized outputs for inputs that exercise negative-value handling because the maximum-value helper does not honor its positive-only contract. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Validate num_ab_stage and drop the unused total_bytes.

num_ab_stage can become zero or negative when the epilogue and mbarrier budget exceeds the SMEM capacity per occupancy. The function returns that value without a check, so the failure surfaces later as an opaque layout or SMEM error. total_bytes at line 896 is computed and discarded.

Raise instead of printing for an unsupported fp8 type.

fp8_type is a compile-time constant here. When it is neither Float8E8M0FNU nor Float8E4M3FN, both functions print at runtime and return None. cvt_f32x4_to_f8x4 then assigns that None into a tensor, and cvt_f32_to_f8_to_f32 returns None to its caller. A trace-time raise ValueError fails fast at the correct place.

Make warp_redux_sync parameters effective and restrict its architecture target.

The helper always emits redux.sync.max.abs.NaN.f32, regardless of kind, abs, or nan. Current callers request MAX with nan=True and pre-absolute their inputs, so current results match. Build the instruction from the parameters, or remove them and rename the helper.

The API accepts SM100+, but this instruction requires an SM100a-or-newer target. Align the architecture guard with the generated PTX target or provide a fallback.

Add a TYPE_CHECKING import for torch.

torch.Tensor appears in annotations only, and line 16 defers annotation evaluation, so there is no runtime error. Ruff still reports F821 about 50 times in this file. A guarded import clears the lint without breaking the lazy-import rule for optional dependencies.

Derive the RHT stride from the RHT descriptor.

The RHT stride check reuses n_d, which line 182 reads from the D descriptor. d_dtype and rht_dtype are validated independently at lines 256 and 263, so a caller can pass bf16 D with NVFP4 RHT. The check then compares the RHT stride against D's innermost extent. Read the RHT extent from self.rht_desc so the two outputs stay decoupled.

Share one butterfly network between the colwise and rowwise FWHT.

_colwise_fwht_inplace and the inline loops at lines 188-210 implement the same four-stage natural-order 16-point FWHT. The only difference is the element stride: 2 for the interleaved colwise layout and 1 for the rowwise layout. Both networks are correct today, but a future fix applied to one path can silently miss the other, and the two paths must stay numerically identical because they feed the same output tensor.

Extract one helper that takes a base offset and a stride, then call it from both paths.

Use sf_vec_size for the scale-factor block width instead of HADAMARD_SIZE.

_nvfp4_sf_ref, _swizzled_sf_to_flat, and the repeat_interleave at Line 181 use HADAMARD_SIZE as the NVFP4 scale-factor block width. Both constants are 16 today, so results are correct. The two concepts are independent: the block width is sf_vec_size, and HADAMARD_SIZE is the transform width.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

atomic_max_float32 does not honor positive_only.

The function bitcasts the float to i32 and uses a signed integer MAX. This ordering only matches float ordering for non-negative values. The positive_only flag is accepted but never enforced, so a negative input produces a wrong result instead of an error.

Either assert the precondition or implement the sign-aware form (signed max for positives, unsigned min for negatives).

Add a module-level PyTorch dtype guard.

grouped_gemm_swiglu_init covers compute capability below 10.0. However, FP4_EXECUTION_CASES evaluates torch.float4_e2m1fn_x2, torch.float8_e4m3fn, and torch.float8_e8m0fnu during module import. Older PyTorch versions can fail collection with AttributeError. Add pytest.skip(..., allow_module_level=True) before this constant when any required dtype is unavailable.

Remove the unused l unpacking.

l is not used in _run_grouped_gemm_glu_ref. Ruff reports E741 (ambiguous name) and RUF059 (unused).

♻️ Proposed fix
-    n, _, l = inputs["b_ref"].shape
+    n = inputs["b_ref"].shape[0]

The kernel plumbs sf_fp8_dtype_override through every entry point but no
test ever passed "e5m3". Mirror the NVIDIA#545 test pattern: reencode the
e4m3-storage input scales as UE5M3 bytes in place (values exact in both
formats, so the fp32 reference stays valid), plus compile-cache
separation and unsupported-override rejection tests.
