feat: add batch_invariant option to trtllm decode functions#2321
Conversation
Add batch_invariant parameter to trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache_mla and trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache that disables multi-CTA optimization in the generation kernel. This ensures output is invariant to batch size, allowing per-request processing without a for loop while maintaining consistent results. Changes: - Updated C++ launcher to accept batch_invariant parameter - Modified generation kernel to use: use_multi_block = !batch_invariant - Added batch_invariant parameter to both Python APIs with documentation - When batch_invariant=true, uses Persistent scheduler instead of Static Co-authored-by: Zihao Ye <yzh119@users.noreply.github.com>

Code Review for PR #2321SummaryThis PR adds the ✅ Strengths
🔍 Areas for Improvement1. Missing Test Coverage (Critical)The PR adds a new user-facing parameter but includes no tests. This is a significant gap. You should add tests that verify:
Example test structure: def test_batch_invariant_trtllm_decode():
# Test that output is invariant to batch size
# Run same request alone vs. in a batch
output_single = trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache(..., batch_invariant=True)
output_batched = trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache(..., batch_invariant=True)
assert torch.allclose(output_single[0], output_batched[0])Suggested test locations:
2. Context Function Behavior UnclearIn runner_params.mTileScheduler = TileScheduler::Persistent;
runner_params.mMultiCtasKvMode = false;This means
Currently, users might be confused why setting 3. Minor: Docstring ClarityThe docstring says "Only supported by trtllm-gen backend" but it might be clearer to say "Only affects trtllm-gen backend; ignored for other backends" to clarify what happens when used with other backends. 4. Minor: Parameter OrderingThe 🔒 Security ConsiderationsNo security concerns identified. The parameter is a simple boolean flag that controls internal optimization behavior. ⚡ Performance ConsiderationsThe implementation correctly trades off performance for determinism:
This is the intended design and appropriate for the use case (vLLM per-request processing). 📋 RecommendationsBefore merging:
Optional improvements: 🎯 Overall AssessmentThis is a well-implemented feature that cleanly exposes existing functionality. The code quality is good, API design is consistent, and documentation is clear. The main gap is test coverage, which should be addressed before merging. Recommendation: Request tests before approval, but the implementation itself looks solid. Generated with Claude Code |

Code Review
This pull request introduces a batch_invariant parameter to disable multi-CTA optimization in the generation kernel, ensuring batch-size invariant outputs. The changes are correctly implemented for the decode functions, propagating the new parameter from the Python API down to the CUDA kernel launcher. However, the batch_invariant parameter has also been added to the context-phase attention function (trtllm_paged_attention_context), where it has no effect. This could be misleading, and I've recommended its removal to improve API clarity.

The batch_invariant parameter seems to be unused in the context phase, as the logic for it in trtllm_paged_attention_launcher is only for generation kernels. This could be misleading and is a potentially breaking API change if the Python wrapper is not updated.
I suggest removing it from trtllm_paged_attention_context's signature. You would then need to pass false for this parameter in the call to trtllm_paged_attention_launcher inside this function.

Following the removal of batch_invariant from trtllm_paged_attention_context's signature, this call should be updated to pass false. The batch_invariant flag does not affect context-phase kernels, so false is a safe default.

76-88: Critical: Incomplete signature migration—low-level wrappers still missing thebatch_invariantparameterThe FFI functions
trtllm_paged_attention_decodeandtrtllm_paged_attention_contextnow requirebool batch_invariant, but there are two separate call paths in the codebase:
- High-level public APIs (lines 2283 in
decode.py, 3571 inprefill.py): correctly pass all 25 and 24 arguments includingbatch_invariant.- Low-level wrapper methods (lines 1940 in
decode.pywithinTrtllmGenDecodeModule._paged_run(), line 235 inprefill.pywithinget_trtllm_gen_prefill_module()._paged_run()): still call the FFI functions with only 23 arguments, missingbatch_invariantentirely.When TVM FFI marshals these calls, it will fail or cause memory corruption due to argument count mismatch. The wrappers must be updated to accept and forward
batch_invariantwith a default value (False), or call a compatible overload.

batch_invariant=true, you setmMultiCtasKvMode=falseand useTileScheduler::Persistent, but still unconditionally allocate ~8MB formultiCtasKvCounterPtrandmultiCtasKvScratchPtr.

Code Review for PR #2321: Add batch_invariant parameter to trtllm decode functionsSummaryThis PR adds the ✅ Strengths
🔍 Suggested Improvements1. Prefill/Context Mode Documentation (Minor)In
This is correct and helpful, but consider making it more prominent or adding a note about what happens when users set it (it's silently ignored). You could add: batch_invariant : bool = False
Whether to disable multi-CTA optimization to ensure output is invariant to batch size.
When True, uses Persistent scheduler instead of Static scheduler.
**Note**: This parameter has no effect in context/prefill mode, as context mode
always uses Persistent scheduler and disables multi-CTA optimization by default.
Defaults to ``False``.2. Test Parameter Coverage (Minor Enhancement)The tests are excellent, but consider adding a few more test cases:
Example additional test: def test_batch_invariant_true_vs_false():
"""Verify that batch_invariant=True and False produce similar results."""
# Same setup as existing test...
output_invariant = flashinfer.decode.trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache(
..., batch_invariant=True
)
output_normal = flashinfer.decode.trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache(
..., batch_invariant=False
)
# Should be numerically close, just computed differently
torch.testing.assert_close(output_invariant, output_normal, rtol=1e-2, atol=1e-2)3. Type Hints (Code Quality)Consider adding type hints to the new parameter in the function signatures. Currently it's documented in docstrings but not in the signature itself. This would improve IDE autocomplete and static type checking. 4. Performance Note in Docstring (Enhancement)Consider adding a brief performance note in the docstring to help users understand the tradeoff: batch_invariant : bool = False
When set to True, disables multi-CTA optimization in the generation kernel.
This ensures the output is invariant to batch size, allowing per-request
processing without a for loop while maintaining consistent results.
**Performance note**: Enabling this may reduce throughput for batched workloads
but is essential for use cases requiring per-request determinism.

29-169: LGTM! Well-structured batch invariance test.The test correctly validates that
batch_invariant=Trueproduces identical outputs for the same request across different batch sizes. The test setup with fixed seeds, proper page table management, and tight tolerances is appropriate for this validation.♻️ Optional: Consider using is_sm100a_supported helper
Based on coding guidelines, you could potentially use a more specific helper if available:
- compute_capability = get_compute_capability(torch.device(GPU_DEVICE)) - - # trtllm-gen backend requires SM100 and SM103 GPUs - if compute_capability[0] != 10: - pytest.skip("trtllm-gen backend requires SM100 and SM103 GPUs.") + # trtllm-gen backend requires SM100 and SM103 GPUs + if not flashinfer.utils.is_sm100a_supported(torch.device(GPU_DEVICE)): + pytest.skip("trtllm-gen backend requires SM100 and SM103 GPUs.")This assumes
is_sm100a_supportedexists in flashinfer.utils. If not, the current approach is fine.Based on learnings, test implementations should use flashinfer.utils functions to skip tests on unsupported GPU architectures.

Missing required positional parameters in MLA function call.
The call to trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache_mla is missing three required positional parameters: qk_nope_head_dim, kv_lora_rank, and qk_rope_head_dim. These must be provided between workspace_buffer and block_tables according to the function signature.
🐛 Proposed fix to add missing MLA parameters
Based on the MLA dimensions defined at lines 205-206, the call should include the MLA-specific parameters:
+ # MLA parameters for DeepSeek-V3 style attention
+ qk_nope_head_dim = 128 # Non-positional embedding dimension
+ kv_lora_rank = 512 # KV compression rank
+ qk_rope_head_dim = 64 # RoPE dimension
+
# Run with batch_invariant=True for single request
output_single = flashinfer.mla.trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache_mla(
q_single,

@claude per @PerkzZheng 's comment, for mla decoding, just disabling multi-cta might not be enough to control the batch invariance, we need to mention this clearly. |

Claude finished @yzh119's task in 3m 32s —— View job Documentation Updated ✅Successfully documented the MLA batch invariance limitation as requested by @PerkzZheng. SummaryThe The critical issue is that the split count is determined by a batch-dependent heuristic: int sms_per_batch = max(1, sm_count / B); // B = batch size
int split_heur = min(max_splits, sms_per_batch);This means:

The batch_invariant flag disables multi-CTA in the main generation kernel, but MLA attention uses an additional reduction kernel that combines partial results from split-KV optimization. The split count heuristic depends on batch size (split_kv ~ sm_count / batch_size), which means different batch sizes may still produce different numerical results due to different reduction patterns. Added documentation in: - Python docstring for trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache_mla - C++ comments in set_split_kv function Co-authored-by: Zihao Ye <yzh119@users.noreply.github.com>

Add batch_invariant parameter to both trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache_mla and trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache that disables multi-CTA optimization in the generation kernel. This ensures output is invariant to batch size, allowing per-request processing without a for loop while maintaining consistent results.
