📌 Description

Make the leading pool dimension of the FP32 GDN MTP path dynamic:

  • Treat pool capacity and stride[0] as runtime values.
  • Keep HV/V/K and inner strides compile-time static.
  • Remove pool capacity and leading stride from the compilation cache key.
  • Preserve 64-bit pool-offset arithmetic.
  • Retain specialization when inner pool strides differ.

This allows one compiled kernel to be reused across non-contiguous FP32 state pools with different capacities and leading strides.

🔍 Related Issues

Partially addresses #4110.

🚀 Pull Request Checklist

✅ Pre-commit Checks

  • I have installed pre-commit.
  • I have installed the hooks.
  • I have run pre-commit run --all-files.

🧪 Tests

  • Tests have been added or updated as needed.
  • All relevant tests are passing.

Validated on H800/SM90a and RTX 5090/SM120, including numerical correctness, compile reuse, non-contiguous pools, inner-stride specialization, and large 64-bit offsets.

The worst measured steady-state regression was 0.93% on H800 and 0.11% on RTX 5090. Cold compilation time was reduced by approximately 65%.

Reviewer Notes

Only the outer pool mode is dynamic. Inner dimensions and strides remain static for kernel specialization. The runtime cache-mode handling introduced by #4128 is preserved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GDN MTP decoding now supports compact 3D and strided 4D state pools. Compilation uses dynamic symbolic pool layouts and inner-stride cache keys. Pool indices use Int64 views, with validation for vector-aligned outer strides.

Changes

Dynamic state-pool decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pool compilation and cache contracts
flashinfer/gdn_kernels/gdn_decode_mtp.py
Compilation supports dynamic 4D pool capacities and aligned outer strides. Cache keys use inner pool strides. Documentation covers compact and strided state storage.
64-bit pooled-state indexing
flashinfer/gdn_kernels/gdn_decode_mtp.py
4D pool read and write views widen slot indices to Int64 in standard and inline kernel paths.
Dynamic pool validation and execution coverage
tests/gdn/test_decode_mtp_dynamic_pool.py
Tests cover cache reuse, stride-specific cache entries, alignment errors, execution routing, large dynamic offsets, and pooled-state equivalence.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1e15d

The added cache-specialization test currently raises a TypeError before validating the intended behavior, leaving an important regression check ineffective. Merge should wait for the test to be fixed or for the owner to explicitly accept the gap.
