Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new grouped GEMM operation can fail at runtime for a valid empty-token edge case, and its accompanying test is missing a required classification marker; these should be addressed before merging to avoid an input-dependent launch failure and incomplete readiness compliance.

… review checklist (#843) * AGENTS.md: add THD Stats packed-layout rule, editable-install gotcha, PR review section - python/cudnn/AGENTS.md: codify Rule 6 (THD/packed Stats must stay token-major or head-major, never dense-padded), citing the existing _checked_lse_view validation and stats_layout-parametrized tests. - AGENTS.md: note that pip -e installs pin one checkout via sys.meta_path, so edits in a worktree/second clone can silently be untested; add a "Reviewing a PR" section pointing reviewers (human or agent) at the numbered Hard Rules per directory. - .github/pull_request_template.md: add a checklist item to review the relevant AGENTS.md Hard Rules before submitting. * AGENTS.md: land recurring review lessons mined from PR review history Distilled from reviewer comments (mostly Anerudhan's) across PRs #246, #266, #280, #517, #553, #747, #797, #811, #814 — each verified against the original review thread: - python/cudnn Rule 1: overlapping optional declarations (ragged vs cu_seqlen vs seq_len) are validated as a set; ambiguous combos error out. - python/cudnn Rule 4: compile keys carry exactly the contract-relevant set — under-keying reuses a wrong artifact, over-keying recompiles. - python/cudnn Rule 5: device context is implicit state like the stream; pointer args validated for device-residency + dtype. - include/: version-gated APIs declare unconditionally, gate in the body at runtime (conditional declarations bake the build-time version in). - root: append-only public API signatures; never delete log statements in cleanups; SPDX header on new files. - test/: check module-level pytestmark before adding per-test markers. * Address review: move THD rule to sdpa guide, automate SPDX, fix PR template Slack + PR review feedback on #843: - Yang: THD Stats rule was out of place among the generally-applicable rules — moved to a new python/cudnn/sdpa/AGENTS.md as Rule S1 (SDPA rules get their own S-numbering so citations stay unambiguous). - Yang: automate the SPDX check — added an spdx-license-header pre-commit hook (pygrep, fails any staged C++/CUDA/Python file missing an SPDX-License-Identifier line) and added the header to the 8 tracked source files that were missing it, so the hook is clean repo-wide. Verified: hook fails a header-less probe file, passes --all-files. - Anerudhan + Vedaanta: Milestone/Projects are set by reviewers/ maintainers, not authors — dropped the checklist item; label groups are cat-* / area:*+op:* / orig-* (not mod-*) in the template and AGENTS.md. * Address CodeRabbit review: strict SPDX pattern, correct head-major stride bound - .pre-commit-config.yaml: the SPDX hook now requires a *commented* SPDX-License-Identifier line with a non-empty identifier ('^\s*(?:#|//|\*|/\*)\s*SPDX-License-Identifier:\s*\S+'), so a string literal mentioning the marker no longer satisfies it. Verified: fails a 'marker = "SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT"' probe and a header-less probe, passes --all-files. - python/cudnn/sdpa/AGENTS.md Rule S1: the head-major non-overlap bound is the packed token count T (stride_h >= H was wrong — per-head slices alias when T > stride_h). Documented why plan time can only classify (stride_s == 1, stride_h >= 1): T is a runtime total, so the capacity check is execute-time. * Rule S1: head-major stride_h >= T is caller contract in THD, not adapter-checked CodeRabbit correctly noted as_strided bounds-checks storage capacity, never overlap, so an in-bounds stride_h < T head-major view would alias. But the packed total is a device value in the THD path — Rule 3 bans the host read that a host-side stride_h >= T check would need, which is why _thd_lse_view's docstring declares covering the packed total as caller contract. State that precisely instead of implying an execute-time check exists, and warn against "fixing" it with a host-side length read.

Summary
Model-shaped impact
This operation implements the two exact grouped W4A16 projections from
nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-NVFP4revisioncc84af2fe71647d87f4486c064f320e1e7535243. On NVIDIA B200 atE=128,S=98,304routed rows:2688 -> 18561856 -> 2688CUDA Graph ratios agree within 0.03%. These are complete model-shaped grouped-projection timings, not a full MoE block or full-model speedup; no honest full-model result is available yet.
This PR exposes the kernels as an explicit domain operation:
cudnn.gemm.cutedsl.grouped.weight_only_nvfp4.grouped_gemm_weight_only_nvfp4for allocation-owning convenience calls; andGroupedGemmWeightOnlyNvfp4for caller-owned output and prepared compilation lifetime.The API consumes checkpoint-native packed E2M1 weights, E4M3 group-16 scales, BF16 routed tokens, starts-only INT32 expert offsets, and one FP32 factor per expert. Runtime
Sis symbolic. Each execution launches exactly one kernel, owns zero workspace, and has no generic fallback.The generic
cudnn.pygraphcompiler does not contain a Lightning topology matcher. Public names are semantic and architecture-neutral; SM-specific entry points and schedules remain private implementation details.Why
These two fixed checkpoint geometries permit schedules that the generic grouped GEMM cannot infer safely:
The specialization belongs in a removable standalone operation because its contract is model-domain-specific. Keeping it out of the general graph analyzer avoids accumulating narrow topology matchers and makes unsupported input fail clearly at the API boundary.
Related issues
None.
API and compatibility impact
This adds a new experimental nested Python API; it does not add a top-level
cudnn.*export or change ordinarycudnn.pygraphdispatch.Supported semantics are intentionally exact:
epilogue="squared_relu": K=2688, N=1856;epilogue="linear": K=1856, N=2688;Ein[1, 128], positive symbolic runtimeS, BF16 input/output;[E,N,K/2], contiguous E4M3 scale[E,N,K/16];[E,1,1]and FP32 factor[E,1,1]; andUnsupported geometry, dtype, layout, device, alignment, or epilogue raises before launch. There is no silent generic fallback.
execute()does not allocate, convert, repack, synchronize, copy offsets to the host, or inspect private graph topology.Testing
Current implementation head:
c48c46e1d, rebased onto currentdevelop.6 passed.linearandsquared_relu;3 passed; L1 skipped by architecture as intended.git diff --check: passed.The B200 performance table was measured at implementation commit
27bd653ab656ba72fe2c0f371ce24cab02b5f4ac; the measured kernel SHA256 wascaca336fc87c0fbbad1c87e6bc3fd2e147070add311b144ef96780f38a4f5da9. The current entry-kernel diff from that measured commit changes only four private helper identifier/docstring lines (graph_storagetocheckpoint_storage); schedules and device instructions are unchanged. Each timing is the median of 7 samples x 40 iterations with both arms compiled, checked, interleaved, and order-reversed in one process. The matched native FROST arm uses one shared factor value; separate correctness runs cover distinct per-expert factors.Summary by CodeRabbit
