Allow preallocated moe sorting buffer by tpopp · Pull Request #2687 · ROCm/aiter

tpopp · 2026-04-10T09:56:55Z

Motivation

In locations like vLLM, they have abstracted the calling code to accept preallocated workspaces to use as output buffers.

Technical Details

Allow an output buffer here as an optional argument and otherwise allocate a new buffer.

Test Plan

Correctness testing is extended to also check that values are correct and the output buffer was used.

Add an optional `moe_buf` parameter through the moe_sorting and fused_moe call chain. When provided, the sorting kernel writes directly into the caller's buffer instead of allocating a new one, eliminating a redundant copy on the output path. Made-with: Cursor

Made-with: Cursor

Plumb `moe_buf` through the vLLM AITER fused MoE interface so the kernel writes directly into the caller's pre-allocated output buffer. This avoids a device-to-device copy of the full MoE output on every forward pass. Requires AITER with ROCm/aiter#2687 merged. When `moe_buf` is `None` (older AITER), the existing allocation + copy behavior is preserved.

A concern was raised around why the fix can't be done on the caller side. The reason output buffers are desired is because in non HIPGraph cases, they don't want ~3 different temporary buffer allocations for intermediate workspaces and the output but a single allocation to limit overhead.

we have internal logic and wlll use it for different way, like fuse quant or not fuse quant, the size and datatype for this buffer will change, this is can't for outside

…e.py - Restore import to match main: use `from aiter import fused_dynamic_mxfp4_quant_moe_sort, mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd` instead of importing from internal triton path and fp4_utils - Replace all fp4_utils.moe_mxfp4_sort() calls with mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd() using correct parameter names (cols= instead of block_size=) - Remove all moe_buf preallocated buffer additions (PR #2687 rejected): parameter defaults, if-guards, and pass-throughs in _moe_sorting_impl, moe_sorting, fused_moe, fused_moe_fake, and fused_moe_ - Fix moe_sorting_dispatch_policy type annotation: bool -> int in fused_moe_fake and fused_moe_ - Remove moe_buf pass-through test from test_moe_sorting.py - Preserve legitimate fp4_utils usage (mxfp4_to_f32, e8m0_to_f32) with local imports in stage1/stage2 fallback functions

aiter/fused_moe.py: - Restore to origin/main. Per sunway513's own comment, #2457 and #2547 were excluded from this bulk merge; per valarLip, #2687 was rejected. No source PR should land changes in this file. The previous state (+110/-119 vs main) was collateral damage from auto-resolved conflicts taking older sides, which silently reverted #2262 (xbf16 asm fmoe path), #2726 (FlyDSL a8w4 MoE wrapper params + fuse_quant), #2658 (CK fp8 blockscale splitk tuner support), and #2620 (mxfp4_moe_sort_hip, flagged by valarLip). op_tests/test_gemm_a8w8_blockscale.py: - Replace with a clean 3-way merge of origin/main + #2541. Now +55/-0 vs main, matching #2541's actual contribution exactly. The previous state was silently reverting #2645 (CK GEMM multi-arch + test infra: TEST_NUM_ITERS, --csv/--output args, kernel_name= param).

…3-Next, pa_mqa OOB) (#3005) * fix: remap QuantType.No to per_1x32 for fp4x2 MoE weights (W4A6 support) * Fixing two cascading bugs when running the MoE tuner * Enable split-K for block-scale A8W8 CK and CKTile GEMMs Propagate the splitK parameter (as KBatch = 2^splitK) through the block-scale GEMM kernel infrastructure so that the tuning scripts can sweep split-K values to improve occupancy on small-M shapes. CK path: add KBatch parameter to gemm_a8w8_blockscale_impl and call SetKBatch on the device argument. The CK invoker handles output zeroing and atomic accumulation internally. CKTile path: add k_batch parameter to gemm_a8w8_blockscale_cktile_impl, remove the "split-k is not supported yet" runtime guard, and add hipMemsetAsync to zero the output buffer before atomic accumulation. Non-tune entry points pass KBatch=1 (no split-K) to preserve existing behavior. Code generation scripts (gen_instances.py, gen_instances_cktile.py) updated to include the new parameter in generated wrappers and manifests. Made-with: Cursor * Wire splitK from tuning CSV through production blockscale GEMM dispatch The tuning infrastructure already sweeps splitK and writes it to the CSV, but the production dispatch ignored it and hardcoded KBatch=1. Add splitK as a runtime parameter to the non-tune entry points so tuned split-K values are used without compiling the full _tune instance set. Made-with: Cursor * fix: ck_moe_stage1 split-K output buffer overflow from padding scatter The CK kernel scatters output via sorted_token_ids using: token_offset = (fused_token & 0xffffff) * topk + (fused_token >> 24) Padding entries use the sentinel value (topk << 24 | token_num), which decodes to scatter position (token_num * topk + topk) -- beyond the valid output range [0, token_num * topk). The original buffer (token_num, topk, w1.shape[1]) only has token_num * topk rows, so the padding scatter writes out of bounds, causing "HIP runtime error: invalid argument" during CUDA graph capture (e.g. DeepSeek-R1 decode with token_num=1, topk=8, block_m=16). Fix: allocate (token_num * topk + topk + 1) rows -- the exact minimum needed to absorb all padding scatter writes. After the kernel, slice only the valid [0, token_num * topk) rows for the activation.

The Triton kernel is now _fused_rms_gated_fp8_group_quant_kernel in _triton_kernels/quant/fused_fp8_quant.py; the Python entry point is fused_rms_gated_fp8_group_quant in quant/fused_fp8_quant.py, with a docstring that contrasts it with fused_rms_fp8_group_quant. Remove the old rmsnorm_input_quant_fp8 module and rms_norm_input_quant_fp8 kernel file. Re-export the new symbol and helpers (get_fp8_min_max_bounds, calc_rows_per_block) from aiter.ops.triton.quant. Rename the test file to test_fused_rms_gated_fp8_group_quant.py and update test.sh. BREAKING CHANGE: rmsnorm_input_quant_fp8 is removed; use fused_rms_gated_fp8_group_quant instead. Made-with: Cursor * Retune blockscale GEMM configs to fix invalid kernelId+splitK combinations Full retune of all 1482 shapes on MI355X (gfx950, cu_num=256). Key changes: - SplitK usage dropped from 613 to 88 CK shapes (splitK > 0) - All shapes validated via --run_config (1482/1482 OK) - E2e perf: 2-8% output throughput improvement vs untuned heuristic * [Bug] pa_mqa_logits: mask OOB stores on OutLogits_buffer The gluon `_gluon_deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits_preshuffle` and `_gluon_deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits_preshuffle_varctx` kernels have 10 `buffer_store(ptr=OutLogits_buffer, ...)` call sites that are missing the upper-bound mask present on their sibling stores. When `context_length == max_model_len` (the last-token position in a long- context decode step), `split_context_length` is rounded UP to a `KVBlockSize` multiple at line 427 and the final prefix/suffix store then writes up to `ChunkKPerStage` float32 elements past the logical row end. With `stride_out_batch == max_model_len`, those writes cross into the next row / the next allocation, causing intermittent HIP memory-access faults on gfx950 during DeepSeek V3.2 MTP decoding. This change adds `mask=<offset> < max_model_len` to every unmasked `buffer_store` on `OutLogits_buffer` in both preshuffle kernels, matching the pattern of their already-masked neighbours. The existing `tl.where(..., -inf)` masking of the *values* is preserved; the only behavioural change is that out-of-row lanes no longer emit buffer stores. Hardware overhead is negligible: `buffer_store` with a predicate is the same SMEM descriptor path as the unmasked variant, just with a VCC mask setup.

Use `pyzmq` directly, which is the actual package providing ZeroMQ bindings for Python. Fixes Triton Test Shard 7 setup failures. * ci: increase pip retries and timeout for CI reliability Set pip global retries=15 and timeout=120s in build_aiter_triton.sh to handle transient PyPI network failures on self-hosted runners. Shard 5/7 failures were caused by RemoteDisconnected during pip install. * ci: make pyzmq install non-blocking in triton test setup pyzmq is only used by aiter.dist.shm_broadcast, not by any triton test. When PyPI is unreachable on self-hosted runners, the pyzmq install failure should not block the entire CI shard. Split pyzmq into a separate pip install with || fallback so triton tests can proceed even when PyPI connectivity is degraded. * ci: retry pip install individually on batch failure When batch pip install fails (e.g., PyPI connectivity issues on self-hosted runners), retry each package individually. Only pyzmq is allowed to fail silently since it's only used by aiter.dist.shm_broadcast and not required by any CI test suite.

The legacy QH16 ASM kernel used for nhead=32 (MLA_A16W16_1TG_4W_32mx1_16nx1_Coex0_Msk1_QH16.co) still writes directly to the output buffer via ptr_RP when kv_split==1. Dereferencing nullptr causes a GPU memory access fault during CUDA graph capture on MI355X (gfx950) with DeepSeek-V3.2 at TP4. Fix: - Conditionally restore ptr_RP and out_16_nosplit in the non-persistent path for legacy kernels (gqa_ratio * max_seqlen_q <= 64) while keeping nullptr for newer kernels (e.g. gqa_ratio=64). - Restore the bf16 nhead in [32,64] early-return after stage1 when num_kv_splits==1 to prevent stage2 from overwriting the kernel's direct output.

The tuple unpack logic was removed during earlier refactoring but the kernel behavior was not changed, causing fused_moe_2stages to crash with: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'view' Restore the unpack: detect tuple return, extract tensor and scale, handle fp4 byte-packing trim, and skip redundant Python-side requant when the kernel already produced sorted scales. * Revert leaked changes from excluded PRs #2457/#2547/#2687 in fused_moe.py - Restore import to match main: use `from aiter import fused_dynamic_mxfp4_quant_moe_sort, mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd` instead of importing from internal triton path and fp4_utils - Replace all fp4_utils.moe_mxfp4_sort() calls with mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd() using correct parameter names (cols= instead of block_size=) - Remove all moe_buf preallocated buffer additions (PR #2687 rejected): parameter defaults, if-guards, and pass-throughs in _moe_sorting_impl, moe_sorting, fused_moe, fused_moe_fake, and fused_moe_ - Fix moe_sorting_dispatch_policy type annotation: bool -> int in fused_moe_fake and fused_moe_ - Remove moe_buf pass-through test from test_moe_sorting.py - Preserve legitimate fp4_utils usage (mxfp4_to_f32, e8m0_to_f32) with local imports in stage1/stage2 fallback functions * fix: restore fp4_utils.moe_mxfp4_sort for new code paths (different output layout than mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd) * style: fix Black formatting for local imports * fix: remove rejected W4A6 QuantType remap from fused_moe_dp_shared_expert Lingpeng explicitly rejected this change (from excluded PR #2457).

…st1 (#3005) Squash-merged from main commit 2c855fb. Includes 8 atomic Silo PRs (4 bug fixes + 3 features + 1): Bug fixes: - #2457 MoE dispatch fix for Quark W4A6 (MXFP4 weights with QuantType.No) - #2464 CK MoE tuner cascading bugs - #2547 ck_moe_stage1 split-K buffer overflow (memory safety) - #2866 pa_mqa_logits OOB stores fix (memory safety) Features: - #2423 Triton optimized decode for Qwen3-Next (GDN, conv1d, fused FP8 quant) - #2541 SplitK support for CK/CKTile Block-Scale GEMMs - #2687 Allow preallocated MoE sorting buffer Conflict resolutions (3 files): - .github/workflows/aiter-test.yaml (3 blocks): took HEAD to preserve release/v0.1.13's prebuilt-image-extract CI flow. Theirs would replace it with main's inline flow which has not been validated for this release branch. - .github/workflows/vllm_benchmark.yaml (1 block): took HEAD for the same CI architecture preservation reason. - aiter/ops/triton/gated_delta_net/__init__.py (1 block): took HEAD. Theirs would expose and , but those functions exist only on main (added in a separate commit not part of this PR), so taking theirs would break import on this release branch with NameError. The new fused_rearrange_sigmoid_gdr.py wrapper that #3005 introduces is importable directly from its module path; not exporting it via __init__.py simply means library consumers must use the longer import path. Acceptable trade-off vs broken imports. 28 files changed, +5433/-47 (3 of original 31 dropped to HEAD per above). Driver: vLLM 0.21 freeze 2026-05-08 — Silo customers need these kernel fixes (especially #2547 / #2866 memory safety) on the AITER release wheel, not nightly. Verification gates added before tag: - ATOM 5-model accuracy unchanged within +/- 0.005 vs v0.1.13-rc1 - New Qwen3-Next decode codepath smoke (GDN + causal_conv1d_single_token + fused_fp8_quant must JIT-compile and produce coherent output) - Memory safety regression check on Kimi-K2.5-MXFP4 (exercises ck_moe stage1) and DeepSeek-V3.2 (exercises pa_mqa_logits) - Perf delta sample on Kimi/MiniMax/DSv3.2 c=1 + c=64 vs rc1 baseline (cherry picked from commit 2c855fb)

Shard 5/7 failures were caused by RemoteDisconnected during pip install. * ci: make pyzmq install non-blocking in triton test setup pyzmq is only used by aiter.dist.shm_broadcast, not by any triton test. When PyPI is unreachable on self-hosted runners, the pyzmq install failure should not block the entire CI shard. Split pyzmq into a separate pip install with || fallback so triton tests can proceed even when PyPI connectivity is degraded. * ci: retry pip install individually on batch failure When batch pip install fails (e.g., PyPI connectivity issues on self-hosted runners), retry each package individually. Only pyzmq is allowed to fail silently since it's only used by aiter.dist.shm_broadcast and not required by any CI test suite. Critical packages (pandas, einops, numpy) must still succeed. * [MLA] Fix nhead=32 non-persistent decode crash on gfx950 Commit c849fd5 ("Add bf16 MLA decode kernel for gqa_ratio=64, qseqlen=1 (non-persistent)") zeroed ptr_RP and out_16_nosplit for all non-persistent dispatch. The legacy QH16 ASM kernel used for nhead=32 (MLA_A16W16_1TG_4W_32mx1_16nx1_Coex0_Msk1_QH16.co) still writes directly to the output buffer via ptr_RP when kv_split==1. Dereferencing nullptr causes a GPU memory access fault during CUDA graph capture on MI355X (gfx950) with DeepSeek-V3.2 at TP4. Fix: - Conditionally restore ptr_RP and out_16_nosplit in the non-persistent path for legacy kernels (gqa_ratio * max_seqlen_q <= 64) while keeping nullptr for newer kernels (e.g. gqa_ratio=64). - Restore the bf16 nhead in [32,64] early-return after stage1 when num_kv_splits==1 to prevent stage2 from overwriting the kernel's direct output. Tested on MI355X TP4 with deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2 (nhead=32): - No crash during CUDA graph capture - Correct GSM8K accuracy Made-with: Cursor * revert: remove #2983 (MLA nhead=32 fix) — causes test_mla CI failures Reverting cherry-pick of #2983 from this bulk merge. The MLA nhead=32 non-persistent decode fix causes deterministic test_mla k_cache and mla_decode-absorb precision failures on CI MI35X runners (Shard 1 & 2). #2983 should go through its own PR with proper CI validation by the original author (frida-andersson). * fix: restore tuple unpack for FlyDSL fused-quant stage1 return flydsl_moe_stage1 returns (out, out_scale_sorted) when the kernel uses fused fp4/fp8 quantization. The tuple unpack logic was removed during earlier refactoring but the kernel behavior was not changed, causing fused_moe_2stages to crash with: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'view' Restore the unpack: detect tuple return, extract tensor and scale, handle fp4 byte-packing trim, and skip redundant Python-side requant when the kernel already produced sorted scales. * Revert leaked changes from excluded PRs #2457/#2547/#2687 in fused_moe.py - Restore import to match main: use `from aiter import fused_dynamic_mxfp4_quant_moe_sort, mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd` instead of importing from internal triton path and fp4_utils - Replace all fp4_utils.moe_mxfp4_sort() calls with mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd() using correct parameter names (cols= instead of block_size=) - Remove all moe_buf preallocated buffer additions (PR #2687 rejected): parameter defaults, if-guards, and pass-throughs in _moe_sorting_impl, moe_sorting, fused_moe, fused_moe_fake, and fused_moe_ - Fix moe_sorting_dispatch_policy type annotation: bool -> int in fused_moe_fake and fused_moe_ - Remove moe_buf pass-through test from test_moe_sorting.py - Preserve legitimate fp4_utils usage (mxfp4_to_f32, e8m0_to_f32) with local imports in stage1/stage2 fallback functions * fix: restore fp4_utils.moe_mxfp4_sort for new code paths (different output layout than mxfp4_moe_sort_fwd) * style: fix Black formatting for local imports * fix: remove rejected W4A6 QuantType remap from fused_moe_dp_shared_expert Lingpeng explicitly rejected this change (from excluded PR #2457). Reverts the QuantType.No -> per_1x32 remap for fp4x2 weights. * fix: restore silently-reverted main features from bad merge resolution aiter/fused_moe.py: - Restore to origin/main. Per sunway513's own comment, #2457 and #2547 were excluded from this bulk merge; per valarLip, #2687 was rejected. No source PR should land changes in this file. The previous state (+110/-119 vs main) was collateral damage from auto-resolved conflicts taking older sides, which silently reverted #2262 (xbf16 asm fmoe path), #2726 (FlyDSL a8w4 MoE wrapper params + fuse_quant), #2658 (CK fp8 blockscale splitk tuner support), and #2620 (mxfp4_moe_sort_hip, flagged by valarLip). op_tests/test_gemm_a8w8_blockscale.py: - Replace with a clean 3-way merge of origin/main + #2541. Now +55/-0 vs main, matching #2541's actual contribution exactly. The previous state was silently reverting #2645 (CK GEMM multi-arch + test infra: TEST_NUM_ITERS, --csv/--output args, kernel_name= param). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: remove #2464 from bulk merge per author request @xaguilar-amd asked to drop #2464 (CK MoE tuner bug fixes) from this bulk merge — they don't need it for the uplift. Verified that #2464 is the only PR in this bulk merge touching aiter/jit/core.py and aiter/utility/mp_tuner.py: the diff between the branch and origin/main on those files is exactly #2464's +9/-1 and +5/-0, with no other PR content mixed in. Restoring both files to origin/main therefore drops #2464 cleanly.
