A separate B200 run under CUDA 12.8 passed the same 24/24 JIT contracts and
the full 73/73 GPU test file while building the CC 10.0 module as legacy
sm100a. This confirms the intended split: CUDA 12.8 uses sm100a, while
CUDA 12.9+ uses the sm100f family target for CC 10.0 and 10.3.
Cold-L2 CUPTI A/B
Timing uses CUPTI activity tracing with L2 flushing (bench_gpu_time). Each
shape uses the same inputs in counterbalanced auto / direct / official
FlashKDA order; setup, allocation, compilation, and state reset are outside
the measured region. Latencies are milliseconds. Both correctness comparisons
passed for every row.

Every auto row selected small_bh_m128/sm100f; the forced control selected
m128/sm100f. The optimized selector is limited to fixed layout, CC 10.0/10.3,
at most eight total tasks/heads, sequence length at least 2048, and eight
resident CTA groups. Ineligible inputs retain the existing direct/fallback
path, including row-strided beta. Public input support is not restricted to a
performance-shape whitelist.
Route and safety closure
- Fixed and packed H12 route smokes on every SKU selected
m128_n16/sm100fand produced finite output. The new small-BH selector does
not affect that serving route, so no model-serving rerun is required. - Persistent routing remains CC 10.0-only. CC 10.3 uses the new small-BH path
for eligible rows and otherwise stays on direct/fallback routes. - The GPU file covers numerical output, public API behavior, non-default
streams, workspace ownership, capture/replay, fixed and packed layouts,
indexed state, native checkpoints, and route boundaries. - The matching frozen device source passed both synccheck and memcheck on B200
and B300; all four normal/compact summaries for each SKU reported
ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors. - Pre-commit, public API/documentation, and automated review checks pass. All
four actionable inline review findings are fixed and their threads resolved.
The earlier family-export qualification remains the broad-coverage companion:
29-shape, six-focus, route, feature, and sanitizer evidence.
No merge was performed as part of this qualification.
