SM100/SM103 use native NVFP4 layouts and dedicated kernels. SM12x retains the repacked path. Validation and tests cover both representations. ChangesArchitecture-specific NVFP4 GEMM
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new SM100 w4a16 GEMM path can produce incorrect results or fail at runtime for valid inputs, including mismatched activation dtypes, unsupported shapes, unaligned tensor views, and over-allocated scale buffers; its validation test can also accept an invalid layout. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

111-119: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the SM100/SM103 predicate into one shared helper.
The same architecture gate now appears in three places with two different spellings:
- Here:
cc in (100, 103)aftercc = major * 10 + minor._prepare_cute_dslinflashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.pyline 456:(major, minor) in ((10, 0), (10, 3))._compute_cute_dslin the same file, line 1111:get_compute_capability(a.device) in ((10, 0), (10, 3)).The three sites must agree. If they diverge, the validation accepts a weight dtype that the compute path cannot consume, or the reverse. Adding a future SM10x variant requires editing all three.
Define one predicate in
gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.pyand import it here.♻️ Proposed shared predicate
In
flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py:_CUTE_DSL_SM100_CCS = ((10, 0), (10, 3)) def _is_cute_dsl_sm100(device: torch.device) -> bool: """Return whether the device uses the native-layout SM100 W4A16 path.""" return get_compute_capability(device) in _CUTE_DSL_SM100_CCSThen in this file:

Inline comments:
In `@flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py`:
- Around line 887-898: Update the SM100 validation surrounding
_launch_cute_dsl_sm100 to require a.dtype == torch.bfloat16 before launching,
matching the hard-coded cutlass.BFloat16 activation pointer. Reject other
activation dtypes with a clear error while preserving the existing b.dtype and
out_dtype checks.
- Around line 610-614: Update CuteDslSm100Bf16Fp4Runner.forward so the tactic ==
-1 fallback selects from get_valid_tactics for the runtime shape instead of
using _SM100_BF16_FP4_FALLBACK_TACTIC directly. Pass None for profile if
supported, choose a valid tactic, and raise a clear error when no valid tactics
are available; preserve normal explicitly selected tactic handling.
- Around line 751-774: Validate the data-pointer alignment required by each
assumed_align before constructing the raw pointers in _compute_cute_dsl_sm100:
enforce 32-byte alignment for a, out, and b, and 16-byte alignment for b_descale
and alpha_for_launch. Raise a clear error for misaligned caller-provided tensors
instead of launching with invalid assumptions, while preserving the existing
make_ptr declarations for validated inputs.
- Around line 434-445: In the SM100/SM103 conversion path around
convert_sf_to_mma_layout, normalize b_descale to contiguous flattened storage
and pass only the exact number of elements required by the conversion. Preserve
the existing validation and leave the SM12x path unchanged.
In `@tests/gemm/test_mm_bf16_fp4.py`:
- Around line 520-524: Update the SM100 test assertions in the major/minor
branch to validate sf_p against b_sf’s complete native layout: assert dtype,
shape, and strides, while retaining the existing storage identity check if
needed. Replace the dim() check with an exact shape/stride comparison so
reshaped or permuted views are rejected.

<!-- .github/pull_request_template.md --> ## 📌 Description @HumansAnd This optimizes the SM100/SM103 CuTe DSL dense W4A16 `mm_bf16_fp4` path added by #4466. - Compile the SM100/SM103 dense kernel at CuTe optimizer level 3 instead of its explicit level-2 override. SM12x compilation is unchanged. - Make raster direction a full autotune axis: every one of the 15 structural tile/cluster tactics now has both M-major and N-major variants, for a 30-tactic Cartesian product. The final review diff is limited to `flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py`. The fail-closed CUPTI evidence harness is retained in commit [`100e9527`](100e952), with its [orchestrator](https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer/blob/100e95275d55280c110c66e9a4693b07b86ff4d4/benchmarks/bench_dense_w4a16_sm100.py) and [worker](https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer/blob/100e95275d55280c110c66e9a4693b07b86ff4d4/benchmarks/bench_dense_w4a16_sm100_worker.py) intentionally absent from the final tree. The dense kernel already retains the intended W4A16 architecture from the shared MoE design: the tensor-wide FP32 weight scale is applied to the FP32 accumulator in the epilogue, and the CTA uses two four-warp transform groups with the full 65,536-register allocation. This PR does not change those contracts, the public API, numerical ordering, warp specialization, or pipeline stages. ## 🔍 Related Issues - Tracked in #4561 - Follow-up to #4466 ## ⏱️ Performance ### Environment and workload - Image: `nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:26.05-py3` - Devbox: `c2`, namespace `infra`, host `hu-pdx-117`; 8 x NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC (SM103), measurements pinned to GPU 0 - GPU 0: UUID `GPU-ee0843de-7ab2-7b46-8af4-1344b209180a`, 1100 W power limit, 2032 MHz maximum SM clock - Driver: `590.48.01` - Python: `3.12.3` - PyTorch: `2.12.0a0+5aff3928d8.nv26.05` - PyTorch CUDA / system nvcc: `13.2` / `13.2.78` - FlashInfer Python: `0.6.18` (editable checkout) - `nvidia-cutlass-dsl`: `4.7.0` - `cupti-python`: `13.2.0`; `nvidia-cuda-cupti`: `13.2.86`; `cuda-bindings`: `13.2.0` - Baseline: `fb28d7242b3506a2348265962041acc1fb56cca4` - Benchmarked candidate: `100e95275d55280c110c66e9a4693b07b86ff4d4`; benchmarked `flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py` SHA-256 `befff9328ff028e7ca44603b39c35036a2d673ef982791ab0bd1cb714d0f4355` - Minimal review head: `693d10862df7a793f7dd9d500ddece28d536d9a0`; final `flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py` SHA-256 `af8c20a81e472f4c30bb57d0f6f022f61452200079712bf5c3f82a2491141306`. The cleanup removes redundant Python constants/cache metadata and benchmark-only tree changes; it preserves O3 and the exact fresh-cache 30-tactic order. - Shapes: `(N,K)=(6656,19968)` and `(19968,6656)`, with `M=1,8,32,128,512,1024,2048,4096` The first C1 B200 devbox was reclaimed during bring-up, and subsequent C1 requests could not get capacity. All retained measurements below are therefore from one C2 B300/SM103 GPU; the discarded C1 bring-up number is not mixed into the table. ### Method - Same-node `A1 upstream O2 -> B candidate O3 + 30 raster tactics -> A2 upstream O2`, with the exact benchmarked candidate source between the two adjacent baseline arms. - Every shape and arm started a fresh worker process and a fresh shape-specific production autotune. This is required because `cupti.finalize()` is process-global teardown. - Weight construction/quantization, kernel compilation, autotuning, output allocation, and correctness checks were outside the timed region. - Timing used CUDA graph + PDL, cold L2, 5 warmups, and 30 CUPTI samples. The table reports the CUPTI median in microseconds. - `speedup = mean(A1, A2) / B`; values above `1.0x` are faster. Adjacent baseline drift is reported separately. - Every candidate worker passed finite-output, FP32 reference, eager repeatability, graph replay repeatability, and graph-versus-eager bitwise checks. ### Raw CUPTI medians and derived speedups | Projection `(N,K)` | M | O2 A1 (us) | O3 + raster axis (us) | O2 A2 (us) | Speedup | |:--|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:| | down `(6656,19968)` | 1 | 57.441 | 54.176 | 57.409 | 1.059962x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 8 | 57.313 | 54.145 | 57.361 | 1.058944x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 32 | 57.840 | 54.497 | 57.761 | 1.060623x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 128 | 58.353 | 55.089 | 58.305 | 1.058814x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 512 | 120.001 | 117.489 | 120.049 | 1.021585x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 1024 | 178.994 | 174.754 | 178.866 | 1.023894x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 2048 | 290.643 | 289.411 | 290.339 | 1.003731x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 4096 | 589.478 | 586.886 | 589.590 | 1.004513x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 1 | 40.577 | 39.232 | 40.369 | 1.031620x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 8 | 40.560 | 38.977 | 40.544 | 1.040422x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 32 | 40.737 | 39.393 | 40.608 | 1.032493x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 128 | 45.601 | 45.792 | 45.697 | 0.996866x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 512 | 104.769 | 103.473 | 104.641 | 1.011906x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 1024 | 182.130 | 175.714 | 178.738 | 1.026859x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 2048 | 305.635 | 298.787 | 305.587 | 1.022839x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 4096 | 614.486 | 599.638 | 613.894 | 1.024268x | Summary: - 16-shape geometric-mean speedup: `1.029759x`. - Range: `0.996866x`--`1.060623x`; 15/16 shapes improved and 13/16 improved by more than 1%. - Production autotuning selected N-major raster in 11/16 rows and retained M-major in 5/16, so neither direction is a safe global constant. - The only slower row was up-projection M=128 at `0.996866x`, or 0.31% higher latency, below the predefined 1% noise threshold. - A2/A1 baseline ratios ranged from `0.981376x` to `1.002105x`. The up-projection M=1024 outlier came from an upstream autotuner switch from N128 to N192; the candidate was faster than both baseline arms (`1.0365x` and `1.0172x`). The other 15 baseline ratios stayed within 0.52% of one. ### How much comes from O3? The combined result should not be attributed entirely to O3 because production autotuning can select different structural tactics. Two isolated gates measured: - Fixed canonical tactic, eight rows spanning both projections and `M=1,128,1024,4096`: `1.0800x` geomean; a three-repeat down-projection M=128 sentinel measured `1.0985x`. - Production autotuning with the original structural search space, four rows: | Projection `(N,K)` | M | O3-only speedup | |:--|--:|--:| | down `(6656,19968)` | 128 | 1.050380x | | down `(6656,19968)` | 1024 | 1.019052x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 128 | 0.998767x | | up `(19968,6656)` | 1024 | 0.997945x | The production-autotuned O3-only geomean was `1.016315x`. The expanded raster search supplies additional shape-dependent gains in the final 30-tactic result. ### Autotuning cost The Cartesian raster axis deliberately increases cold first-use tuning work. Across these 16 shapes, summed production-autotuner profile time was `417.83 s` for 30 tactics versus `196.68 s` for the screened 16-tactic space (`2.12x`). The final full-sweep orchestrator wall time was `548.61 s`. Persisted tactic-cache hits do not repeat this search cost, and the broader space was chosen to cover real workloads beyond these two projections. ### Reproduction The historical benchmark orchestrator records the command, environment, source hash, selected tactic, pipeline/register/TMEM configuration, correctness results, per-sample timings, and worker logs in its output directory. Auto-mode tactic caches are namespaced by compile level, transform-fragment configuration, and revision plus tracked-diff hash so an O2 or different-source winner cannot contaminate an O3 run. The baselines require upstream's 15-tactic source, not merely `--compile-opt-level 2` on the candidate's 30-tactic source. The following creates a detached worktree at the benchmark commit, where both evidence scripts remain available, then runs exact upstream/candidate/upstream source in distinct output directories. It does not add the scripts back to the final PR tree. ```bash cd /hai-workspace/flashinfer-dense-w4a16-perf/flashinfer set -euo pipefail task_candidate=100e95275d55280c110c66e9a4693b07b86ff4d4 task_base=fb28d7242b3506a2348265962041acc1fb56cca4 task_worktree=/hai-workspace/flashinfer-pr4686-benchmark task_source=flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py task_results=/hai-workspace/flashinfer-dense-w4a16-pr-repro git fetch https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer.git pull/4686/head test ! -e "$task_worktree" git worktree add --detach "$task_worktree" "$task_candidate" cd "$task_worktree" test "$(git rev-parse HEAD)" = "$task_candidate" test -z "$(git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all)" test ! -e "$task_results" trap 'git restore --source "$task_candidate" -- "$task_source"' EXIT run_arm() { task_label=$1 task_opt=$2 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 /usr/bin/python \ benchmarks/bench_dense_w4a16_sm100.py \ --output-dir "$task_results/$task_label" \ --suite pr4466 --label "$task_label" \ --repeats 1 --warmup 5 --iters 30 \ --m-values 1,8,32,128,512,1024,2048,4096 \ --cases ffn_down_full,ffn_up_full \ --arms graph_pdl_on --tactic-mode auto \ --compile-opt-level "$task_opt" \ --input-cache-dir "$task_results/input-cache" } git restore --source "$task_base" -- "$task_source" run_arm a1-upstream-o2 2 git restore --source "$task_candidate" -- "$task_source" run_arm b-candidate-o3-raster 3 git restore --source "$task_base" -- "$task_source" run_arm a2-upstream-o2 2 git restore --source "$task_candidate" -- "$task_source" git diff --exit-code ``` Raw summary artifact checksums: ```text 927e440b61c7d3c1fdd90fa324483a7b42006445c2e8fda06ae04035aaf65ad2 combined-full-aba/a2-upstream-o2/summary.json (A1) 227d54299d603bd724d3a49feafc6b99aca8a8ddceb9d3d656a1caa25a15751d raster-full-axis/summary.json (B) 72b8fc466bdcd89041f57120d5dd0c576988eaeefc8b2c6927893a98ed62a279 combined-full-aba/a3-upstream-o2/summary.json (A2) ``` The first path retains its earlier experiment label; chronologically it is the upstream arm immediately before the final 30-tactic candidate.

Full-suite validation was not run. Targeted validation used the final minimal 30-tactic source at `693d10862df7a793f7dd9d500ddece28d536d9a0` on the B300/SM103 environment above: ```bash CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -m pytest -vv -s \ 'tests/gemm/test_mm_bf16_fp4.py::test_backend_preallocated_out[cute-dsl]' \ tests/gemm/test_mm_bf16_fp4.py::test_cute_dsl_every_tactic_matches_reference ``` ```text 3 passed, 1308 warnings in 30.90s ``` Both parameterizations of the every-tactic test ran, exercising all 30 final tactics. The warnings were existing CuTe DSL deprecation warnings; the run reported no failure. The benchmark harness retained at `100e9527` also passed a fresh production-auto SM103 smoke (`M=1, N=6656, K=19968`, graph + PDL, CUPTI): correctness passed, N-major tactic index 21 was selected, and the median was `54.081 us`. Local source checks: ```bash pre-commit install pre-commit run --all-files python3 -m py_compile flashinfer/gemm/gemm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl.py git diff --check ``` ```text pre-commit run --all-files: all applicable hooks passed py_compile: exit 0 git diff --check: exit 0 ``` Both historical harness scripts were also compiled successfully at `100e9527` before their scope-only removal. ## Reviewer Notes Please focus on the O3 compile change and whether the full raster Cartesian product is the right production search-space tradeoff. Limitations and untested scope: - Final performance and GPU tests cover one B300/SM103 GPU. The final source was not measured on B200/SM100 after the C1 devbox was reclaimed. - Performance was measured at `100e9527`. The final cleanup head was correctness-tested on GPU and preserves O3 plus the exact fresh-cache tactic order, but the full A/B/A performance sweep was not repeated after the scope-only cleanup. - The 30-tactic space costs about 2.12x as much to tune cold as the screened 16-tactic space across this suite. - Existing persisted 15-tactic selections remain valid but can bypass discovery of N-major variants until that development cache is re-primed; all reported measurements used fresh per-shape caches. - One shape moved slightly slower, but by less than the predefined 1% noise threshold; no regression or speedup is claimed for that row. - End-to-end model throughput and shapes outside the stated matrix were not measured. - The full repository test suite was not run. Public GPU CI was requested but remains authorization-gated; internal CI was not requested.

…4620) ## 📌 Description `tests/trace/test_mm_bf16_fp4_reference_correctness.py::test_mm_bf16_fp4_reference_correctness[*-cute-dsl]` fails on the whole SM100 family (12 failures on B300 / GB200 / GB300, both CUDA versions, in the `v0.6.18rc4` unit-test pipeline): ``` device = b.device > k_sf, n = b_descale.shape E ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2) flashinfer/trace/templates/gemm.py:550: ValueError ``` `prepare_bf16_fp4_weights` gained a **third** prepared layout when the SM100 cute-dsl w4a16 GEMM landed. The trace layer only knew two: | path | `b` | `b_descale` | |---|---|---| | cuDNN | canonical `(N, K//2)` uint8 | linear `(N, K_sf)` fp8-e4m3 | | cute-dsl SM12x | `(K//16, N*2)` int32 tile-packed | `(K_sf, N)` uint8 S0E5M3 | | cute-dsl SM100/103 | canonical `(N, K//2)` uint8 | **6-D** `(32, 4, N//128, 4, K_sf//4, 1)` strided view over the 128x4-swizzled buffer | Two consequences on SM100/103: - `mm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl_trace.reference` unpacks `b_descale.shape` as 2-D and raises the `ValueError` above. - `mm_bf16_fp4_trace_dispatch` keys off the weight dtype (`int32` → cute-dsl), and the SM100 weight is `uint8`, so a cute-dsl call silently resolves to the **cuDNN** template. Shapes are not validated at trace time, so this would have quietly dumped a definition labelled `mm_bf16_fp4_cudnn` describing the wrong prepared layout. This PR adds `mm_bf16_fp4_cute_dsl_sm100_trace` with its own init and reference, restricts the SM12x init to SM12x, and gives the dispatch a discriminator for all three layouts. The new reference recovers the canonical scale buffer by permuting the strided view back to its documented physical order — `convert_sf_to_mma_layout` returns logical `(outer_m, inner_m, m_tile, inner_k, k_tile, group)` over physical `(group, m_tile, k_tile, 32, 4, 4)`, which is exactly what `_unswizzle_sf_128x4` expects — then decodes the canonical nvfp4 weight the same way the cuDNN reference does. I checked that reconstruction against `_unswizzle_sf_128x4` of the pre-`convert` buffer, and independently against the documented element-wise index mapping; both are bit-exact. ## 🔍 Related Issues Regression from #4466 (`feat: sm100 cute_dsl w4a16 gemm`), which added the SM100 prepared layout without touching the trace layer. Not previously reported upstream. ## 🚀 Pull Request Checklist ### ✅ Pre-commit Checks - [x] I have installed `pre-commit` by running `pip install pre-commit` (or used your preferred method). - [x] I have installed the hooks with `pre-commit install`. - [x] I have run the hooks manually with `pre-commit run --all-files` and fixed any reported issues. ## 🧪 Tests - [x] Tests have been added or updated as needed. - [x] All tests are passing (`unittest`, etc.). Verified on a B200 (SM100, CUDA 13.0, cutlass-dsl 4.7.0), where the test reproduces the reported `ValueError` before the change: - `tests/trace/test_mm_bf16_fp4_reference_correctness.py` — 4 failed → 4 passed - `tests/gemm/test_mm_bf16_fp4.py` — 242 passed, 3 skipped - `tests/trace/test_fi_trace_template_consistency.py`, `test_template_registry.py`, `test_template_init.py`, `test_rendered_source_standalone.py`, `test_fi_trace.py` — 1050 passed, 180 skipped The reference test now picks the cute-dsl template matching the device and asserts `mm_bf16_fp4_trace_dispatch` resolves a real prepared call back to that template, so the misrouting cannot come back unnoticed. ## Reviewer Notes Worth a second opinion on two judgement calls: 1. **A separate template rather than one branching reference.** The declared `axes`/`inputs` are what land in the dumped definition, and the SM100 weight and scale shapes differ from SM12x, so a single template cannot describe both honestly. If you would rather not trace this layout at all, the alternative is to make the SM12x init raise on SM100/103 and stop there — that also turns the failure into a skip, but leaves the dispatch mislabelling SM100 cute-dsl calls as cuDNN. 2. **Declaring a non-contiguous 6-D view as a template input.** It is an odd thing to put in a bench definition since it is a view, not an allocation. I described it as-is rather than substituting the underlying canonical buffer, because that view is literally what callers pass to `mm_bf16_fp4`. Happy to change the dim naming if you prefer something else. I have no SM103 hardware; the SM100 and SM103 paths share `_prepare_cute_dsl_sm100`, so the gating treats them together. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added support for BF16×FP4 operations on SM100/103 GPUs with six-dimensional scale tensors. * Automatically selects the appropriate processing path based on tensor format and GPU capability. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved scale reconstruction and dequantization accuracy for supported SM100/103 workloads. * **Tests** * Expanded correctness coverage for backend and GPU-specific template selection. * Tests now handle environments without CUDA gracefully. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
