Summary

B12xMoEWrapper pre-allocates its static workspace, dynamic workspace, and
output buffer per instance for CUDA graph compatibility. Frameworks that hold
one wrapper per MoE layer — e.g. vLLM's flashinfer_b12x NVFP4 MoE backend —
pay this cost once per layer.

For Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-NVFP4 (60 MoE layers, 512 experts, top-10 routing) with
max_num_tokens=16384, the per-layer buffers total ~68 GiB:

  • static workspace: (num_experts, max_rows, k/2) packed input ≈ 640 MiB/layer
  • dynamic workspace: ≈ 506 MiB/layer (routed_rows = 16384 × 10)
  • output buffer: 128 MiB/layer

With weights taking ~52.5 GiB per GPU (TP4 on 96 GB RTX PRO 6000), the model
cannot start: workspace allocation OOMs during vLLM's memory profiling.

Change

MoE layers execute strictly sequentially, so identically-shaped wrappers can
safely share a single set of buffers. Add optional constructor parameters:

  • shared_static_workspace
  • shared_dynamic_workspace
  • shared_output

When provided, _allocate_buffers() reuses them instead of allocating.
Default behavior (no sharing) is unchanged.

With sharing, the same model's total wrapper memory drops from ~68 GiB to
~1.2 GiB and the server starts within the default
gpu_memory_utilization=0.80 budget.

Safety

  • CUDA graphs record fixed buffer addresses; sharing keeps every layer's
    captured pointers valid, and graph capture preserves the sequential
    layer-to-layer stream order, so there are no cross-layer hazards.
  • Workspace barrier state is epoch-based and restored after each launch, the
    same sequential-reuse pattern a single wrapper already relies on across
    forward passes.
  • vLLM copies the returned output slice out immediately, so sharing the
    output buffer is safe for this caller pattern.

Testing

  • New CPU tests in tests/moe/test_b12x_fused_moe.py:
    • test_wrapper_defaults_allocate_own_buffers — default behavior unchanged
    • test_wrapper_shared_buffers_are_reused — injected buffers reused, no new
      allocations
  • End-to-end on 4x RTX PRO 6000 (SM120, CUDA 13): vLLM flashinfer_b12x
    serving Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-NVFP4 with layer-shared workspaces starts,
    captures FULL_AND_PIECEWISE CUDA graphs, and completes a full
    C1/C4/C16/C64 serving benchmark (8K/1K, 850 measured requests) with zero
    errors and zero preemptions. Runtime validation was done on top of fix(moe): restore SM12x MoE kernels broken by self-resolved helper in borrowed dense methods #4602,
    which fixes a separate SM12x MoE compile-time regression.

Consumer

A corresponding vLLM change makes FlashInferB12xExperts share one buffer
set across layers (keyed by shape/device); it depends on this PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

B12xMoEWrapper now accepts shared workspaces and output buffers only in CUDA graph mode. It validates exact device placement, reuses valid buffers, and allocates only missing resources. Tests cover these checks and borrowed-method dependencies.

Changes

B12x shared buffer validation and reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared buffer contract and allocation
flashinfer/fused_moe/cute_dsl/b12x_moe.py
B12xMoEWrapper validates CUDA graph mode, exact device placement, shape, and dtype. It reuses supplied buffers and allocates only missing resources across supported paths.
Shared buffer and borrowed-method tests
tests/moe/test_b12x_fused_moe.py
Tests reject shared buffers outside graph mode and reject outputs on another CUDA device. AST-based tests verify transitive self attributes for borrowed DenseGemmKernel methods.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a29c2

The PR reuses caller-provided CUDA buffers to substantially reduce per-layer memory, but invalid or non-contiguous shared buffers can still cause runtime failures or silent output corruption, and undersized workspaces may fail during launch; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded validation risks.

Cover W4A16 shared-buffer initialization.

_make_cpu_wrapper() uses the default quantization mode. These tests therefore cover only the regular static/dynamic path. Lines 426-445 have a separate W4A16 path that now preserves injected static workspace and output buffers.

Add a quant_mode argument to _make_cpu_wrapper() and a W4A16 case. Assert that supplied static workspace and output are reused without allocation.

Both CodeRabbit findings addressed in ac0940b:

  1. shared_output validation — the constructor now rejects incompatible injected output buffers before any CUDA graph capture: requires 2-D shape (>=max_num_tokens, hidden_size), the configured output_dtype, and a matching device type, with the actual values in the error message. (Workspaces are opaque dispatcher structs, so validation is scoped to the output tensor.)
  2. Allocation spy in the sharing testtest_wrapper_shared_buffers_are_reused now wraps torch.empty during the second wrapper's construction and asserts zero calls, so a regression that allocates before adopting the shared output would fail. Added test_wrapper_shared_output_is_validated for the new check.

Local: 3/3 wrapper buffer tests pass, pre-commit clean.

B12xMoEWrapper pre-allocates its static/dynamic workspaces and output
buffer per instance for CUDA graph compatibility. Frameworks that hold
one wrapper per MoE layer (e.g. vLLM's flashinfer_b12x backend) pay this
cost per layer: for a 60-layer NVFP4 model with 512 experts, top-10
routing and 16K max tokens, the per-layer workspaces total ~68 GiB,
which exceeds a 96 GB GPU once weights are loaded.

MoE layers execute strictly sequentially, so identically-shaped wrappers
can safely share one set of buffers. Add optional shared_static_workspace,
shared_dynamic_workspace and shared_output parameters; when provided, the
wrapper reuses them instead of allocating. Default behavior is unchanged.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject shared buffers when CUDA graph mode is disabled.

When use_cuda_graph=False, line 420 skips _allocate_buffers(). run() then ignores all shared resources and allocates a new output tensor. The new parameters therefore silently do nothing in this mode.

Reject shared resources unless use_cuda_graph=True, or document this restriction in the public API.

Validate shared_output against the full CUDA device.

When self.device is "cuda:<index>", a buffer from another CUDA device passes the type-only check. CUDA graph execution then combines that buffer with workspace tensors from the wrapper device, with no cross-device launch check. Resolve index-less "cuda" to the current device, compare complete torch.device values, and add a two-GPU regression test.

3371-3372: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move the source discovery out of module import time.

_class_def and _find_borrowers run when pytest imports this module. _class_def raises AssertionError when DenseGemmKernel or the hard-coded path flashinfer/gemm/kernels/dense_blockscaled_gemm_sm120_b12x.py no longer resolves. _find_borrowers calls ast.parse on every file under flashinfer/fused_moe, so a syntax error in any unrelated file raises SyntaxError here.

Both failures are collection errors, so every other test in this large module also fails to run. Collection errors are harder to triage than a single failing test. Resolve the dense kernel class inside the test body, and let discovery degrade to an empty list that test_borrower_discovery_is_non_empty already reports.

Also require a contiguous shared_output.

The check covers rank, shape, dtype, and device. It does not cover strides. A caller can pass a view of a larger buffer, for example big[:, :hidden_size] or big.t(), and pass all current checks. run() then slices rows with self._moe_output[:num_tokens] and passes the result as scatter_output, where the kernel assumes row-major contiguous rows. The result is silent output corruption instead of an early error.

Every MoE layer allocated its own B12xMoEWrapper workspaces, which is
a large per-layer GPU memory cost. The workspaces are identical for
every layer and layers execute sequentially, so all layers in a worker
process can share the buffers allocated by the first wrapper.

Depends on flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#4603, which adds the
shared_static_workspace / shared_dynamic_workspace / shared_output
parameters to B12xMoEWrapper.

Optimize the SM12x static MoE path while keeping NVFP4 and MXFP4 in one
`MoEStaticKernel` implementation.

## What changed

- Fold the retained NVFP4 schedule into the existing `MoEStaticKernel`;
no
  separate retained-kernel class or source file remains.
- Split oversized routed experts into 32-row virtual tasks, so skewed
experts
  remain within the tile's computed M extent.
- Retain two FC1 N-slices per scheduled work group and use the compact
  O(1)-claim scheduler.
- Retune the static tile/MAC ladder and extend the default NVFP4 static
cutover
  from 640 to 1024 routed rows (`M <= 128` for top-k 8).
- Keep MXFP4 on the same unified class with its original 640-row
cutover.
- Update workspace sizing, compile/launch ABI, source tracking, and
dispatch
  tests for the unified kernel.

The branch is rebased on current `origin/main`. Upstream #4603 now
provides the
shared B12x workspace support that was previously a separate commit in
this PR,
so this update deliberately drops that redundant commit. The PR is now
one
commit touching four files.

## Why

The former static schedule could assign more rows from a skewed expert
than a
tile64/tile128 launch computed, and it repeated scheduling/staging work
across
the two FC1 N-slices. Virtual 32-row tasks bound each physical work item
while
the retained schedule reuses pipeline state across both slices.

## Correctness

Validated source-exact against the upstream measurement base. The branch
is
now rebased on the current upstream head; the intervening upstream
commits do
not modify any of this PR's four changed files.

- Measurement upstream base: `083012d6819cf97128e559616b12acb666f2fffe`
- Current upstream base: `3bbfeba6218b6de32d1e894243c010c8d3aacb21`
- PR head: `e184523e35f59144132d750e085243d409a16cf4`
- Local SM120 GPU: `GPU-1c189c11-e797-a795-cefd-495b190afebc`
- Shape: Qwen3.5-35B TP1, `E=256`, `H=2048`, `I=512`, `topk=8`
- Routes: three exact-marginal Zipf-0.75 samples
- M: 32, 64, 96, 128, 256, 512
- Candidate repeats: three per `(M, route)`

Result: **18/18 cases passed**.

| Metric | Result |
|---|---:|
| Maximum relative L2 | 0.00791765 |
| Minimum cosine similarity | 0.99996866 |
| Maximum zero rows | 0 |
| Static candidate repeats | Bitwise equal |

The baseline dispatches M=96/128 to dynamic while this PR intentionally
dispatches them to static; those cross-backend cases are included in the
18/18.

MXFP4 targeted GPU tests also passed:

- static functional accuracy
- intermediate-size padding accuracy
- wrapper CUDA Graph accuracy

## Performance

Protocol: local SM120, A-B-B-A order, fresh cache per arm,
exact-marginal
100-route replay, CUDA Graph event timing, 192 MiB L2 flush, and
warmup/iterations/repeats = 5/50/7. No kernel-selection override was
used.

## Relationship to #4329

#4329 optimized the gated dynamic NVFP4 path. This PR targets the
complementary
small-token static path and leaves that merged dynamic implementation
unchanged.

## Reviewer notes

Please pay particular attention to virtual-task allocation/publication
ordering,
workspace sizing, the shared NVFP4/MXFP4 ABI, and the
quant-mode-specific 1024
vs 640 routed-row cutover.
