📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds ChangesRecurrent KDA prefill
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR changes automatic recurrent-prefill dispatch and adds planning and state-management behavior. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up, but documentation can mislead users about packed ordering and checkpoint dtypes, and the benchmark’s default H12 state pool may exhaust and make measurements unreliable.

planmutates the buffer contents in place at Lines 533-545.runreleasesself._lockat Line 589 before it launches the kernel. If one thread callsplanwhile another thread is insiderecurrent_kda, the device reads partially updatedcu_seqlens,seq_order, and chunk metadata.The lock only protects the Python-side reads. It does not order the device work against a later
plan. State the required usage in the class docstring: one wrapper instance serves one caller, andplanmust not run concurrently withrunor with an in-flight launch on the same buffers.Also applies to: 577-589

Inline comments:
In `@benchmarks/bench_recurrent_kda_prefill.py`:
- Around line 614-619: Update the state-pool sizing in candidate_run and each
bench_gpu_time measurement block to account for the actual warmup, measurement,
and estimator iteration counts, ensuring the default capacity covers the
required state rotations. If dynamic sizing is not used, validate
--state-rotations before execution and require a sufficient value instead of
allowing PR state rotations exhausted.
- Around line 25-27: Update the benchmark description for --backend to state
that it selects one backend per invocation; clarify that comparing auto, CuTe
DSL, and Cake requires separate commands, unless an explicit comparison mode is
implemented.
Apply the same fix in `@benchmarks/bench_recurrent_kda_prefill.py` around lines 25
- 27: The result documentation should record the separate backend commands and
timing overrides.
In `@docs/api/kda_prefill.rst`:
- Around line 30-31: Update the documentation text describing
checkpoint_cu_starts in the CuTe DSL KDA prefill path to state that it must be
int64 for every eligible call, not only during CUDA graph capture. Keep the
existing distinction that the CuTe DSL schedule is non-persistent.
- Around line 104-109: Add RecurrentKDAPrefillWrapper to the generated API
reference under flashinfer.kda, using the existing documentation’s API-reference
directive or autosummary pattern; do not place it under flashinfer.kda_prefill.
In `@flashinfer/kda_prefill_cute.py`:
- Around line 108-115: Update _is_cute_dsl_kda_prefill_eligible to validate
beta, cu_seqlens, seq_order, ssm_state_indices, initial_state, and output with
isinstance(..., torch.Tensor) before accessing tensor attributes. Keep returning
False for non-tensor values so recurrent_kda can use the Cake fallback under
backend="auto", while preserving the existing checks for valid tensors.
In `@tests/kda/test_recurrent_kda_prefill.py`:
- Around line 199-215: Rename test_public_prefill_cake_keeps_checkpoint_contract
to describe explicit Cake routing, and update the pytest.fail message in its
_is_cute_dsl_kda_prefill_eligible stub to state that explicit Cake selection
must bypass the CuTe DSL probe. Keep the test setup and assertions otherwise
unchanged.

…4675) <!-- .github/pull_request_template.md --> ## 📌 Description This adds a generated two-stage BT16 recurrent-KDA prefill portfolio to the explicit `backend="cake"` path. - select scalar or TMA-beta preparation and S7/S8/S9 recurrence-chain schedules from the physical device and input shape - preserve fixed and packed layouts, optional initial/final state, explicit output buffers, sequence ordering, and warmed CUDA Graph capture - freeze five source identities for SM100a and the SM100 family target used by SM103a The public API remains `flashinfer.kda.recurrent_kda`. `backend="auto"` keeps its existing preference order; callers can select this portfolio explicitly with `backend="cake"`. ### Shape coverage The executable production benchmark covers 29 shapes across: - H96/H64/H32 fixed and mixed or uniform packed prefill - packed sequence counts from 1 through 256, including irregular tails - H16/H8/H4/H1 long-context fixed layouts up to 1,048,576 tokens - H1 packed contexts up to two 524,288-token sequences - short 16/37/97-token edge cases <!-- consolidated-performance:start --> ### Qualification and performance results These eager results use exact PR head `43f4b10a625db99f06a4ddfd51126dbc9875bf27`. There are exactly two reported populations: the original six H96/H64 cases (the first six rows of the production ledger) and the full 29-shape production portfolio. The six-row table is a subset summary, not a separate H12 or 24-row dataset. Every speedup is reference latency divided by public `recurrent_kda(..., backend="cake")` latency, so values above 1.0x favor the Cake backend. FlashKDA and the CuTe DSL backend introduced by #4605, as present at this exact PR head, are retained as independent denominators. #### Original six H96/H64 cases | GPU | measured hardware | Cake public API | FlashKDA raw | Cake vs FlashKDA | #4605 CuTe DSL at this head | Cake vs #4605 backend | correctness | |---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| | B200 | NVIDIA B200 / sm100a / 148 SMs | 345.374 us | 791.359 us | 2.291x | 354.928 us | 1.028x | Cake 6/6; CuTe 6/6 | | B300 | NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC / sm103a / 148 SMs | 314.306 us | 767.958 us | 2.443x | 345.493 us | 1.099x | Cake 6/6; CuTe 6/6 | | GB200 | NVIDIA GB200 / sm100a / 152 SMs | 316.847 us | 753.879 us | 2.379x | 327.391 us | 1.033x | Cake 6/6; CuTe 6/6 | | GB300 | NVIDIA GB300 / sm103a / 152 SMs | 301.910 us | 745.649 us | 2.470x | 329.381 us | 1.091x | Cake 6/6; CuTe 6/6 | #### Full 29-shape production portfolio | GPU | measured hardware | Cake public API | FlashKDA raw | Cake vs FlashKDA | #4605 CuTe DSL at this head | Cake vs #4605 backend | correctness | |---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| | B200 | NVIDIA B200 / sm100a / 148 SMs | 477.864 us | 1214.809 us | 2.542x | 483.729 us | 1.012x | Cake 29/29; CuTe 29/29 | | B300 | NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC / sm103a / 148 SMs | 453.793 us | 1239.843 us | 2.732x | 468.213 us | 1.032x | Cake 29/29; CuTe 29/29 | | GB200 | NVIDIA GB200 / sm100a / 152 SMs | 446.557 us | 1211.975 us | 2.714x | 454.666 us | 1.018x | Cake 29/29; CuTe 29/29 | | GB300 | NVIDIA GB300 / sm103a / 152 SMs | 433.701 us | 1173.219 us | 2.705x | 453.047 us | 1.045x | Cake 29/29; CuTe 29/29 | The four-SKU geometric mean of the per-SKU 29-shape speedups versus raw FlashKDA is **2.672x**. #### GB300 source/public alignment The source benchmark reference uses the same deterministic tensors and cold-L2 CUPTI GPU-span metric, but duration-based sampling rather than fixed iteration counts. Its prepared launcher also internally replays a CUDA Graph for multi-stage or padded-beta paths, while this public run is eager with no outer capture. A ratio near 0% indicates empirical alignment under those documented execution-boundary differences; positive public/source latency means the public API is slower. | shape set | source Cake | public Cake | public/source | source vs FlashKDA | public vs FlashKDA | speedup ratio | source vs #4605 | public vs #4605 | speedup ratio | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | original six | 298.536 us | 301.910 us | +1.13% | 2.513x | 2.470x | -1.72% | 1.095x | 1.091x | -0.40% | | full 29 | 426.700 us | 433.701 us | +1.64% | 2.826x | 2.705x | -4.26% | not reported | not reported | not reported | #### Measurement and correctness contract All reported times are cold-L2 CUPTI GPU-activity medians from `bench_gpu_time`. Timing covers the complete eager public call and in-place final-state update. Allocation, JIT/build, metadata preparation, state-pool reset, and CPU wall-clock overhead are outside the timed scope. This is public-API GPU-span measurement (possibly multiple GPU activities), not a single-kernel-only number and not SGLang/end-to-end inference. Correctness is BF16 `atol=rtol=1e-2`. FlashKDA is frozen at `1ce47ea3bb22c84eb9cc665028399cf35e8ffb0b`, CUTLASS at `5c149f52a436782210263fb2f19b354443a61c6a`, and the 29-shape ledger SHA256 is `1143cd69fcc466eea98865cf2fe48e2c7e6ebc7e1b78a0f47f27caf0097b95d9`. Each shape runs in a fresh process with `Cake-A/CuTe-A/CuTe-B/Cake-B` ordering; both public backends are independently paired with the exact FlashKDA raw peer. The requested dry-run/measurement budget is 20/100 iterations; the rotating-state memory cap deterministically reduces the largest N32/N64/N128/N256 rows to 66/30/13/3 measured repeats. A CuTe failure is recorded as `NA` for that shape and excluded only from the CuTe geomean; a source/public CuTe alignment is shown only when the complete population is comparable. #### Per-shape

<!-- .github/pull_request_template.md --> ## Description This follow-up to #4675 adds a frozen recurrence-piece persistent M128 specialization to the explicit `recurrent_kda(..., backend="cake")` prefill portfolio on validated 148/152-SM CC 10.0 and CC 10.3 devices. For eligible uniform eager calls, the dispatcher uses the live SM count and a physical occupancy/roofline model to split only recurrence chains responsible for a partial final device wave. Device-scope release/acquire handoffs carry intermediate BF16 state between persistent CTAs. The final consumer resets each handoff counter before completing, so the same stream-local workspace can be used by subsequent eager calls. The new route requires a caller-owned in-place initial state and is not selected with an explicit workspace or `seq_order`. Existing CUDA Graph paths therefore continue to use the previously qualified non-piece variants. <!-- recurrence-piece-performance:start --> ## Qualification and performance Qualification completed at exact PR head `48fc324fd6d64a89d4c4d21b5c10e41d19482de9`.

Timing covers the complete eager public API call and in-place final-state update, not CPU wall time, a single-kernel-only span, CUDA Graph replay, or end-to-end inference. Correctness uses BF16 `atol=rtol=1e-2`. FlashKDA is frozen at `1ce47ea3bb22c84eb9cc665028399cf35e8ffb0b` and CUTLASS at `5c149f52a436782210263fb2f19b354443a61c6a`. The exact #4605 baseline is independently frozen at merge commit `297d9b6506d3f278e419dd174b6094ce7c3177a2`. Every exported and FlashKDA row must pass correctness and timing. Frozen-#4605 outcomes are fail-closed and fully accounted: comparable rows must pass, while an explicitly recorded N/A is excluded only from #4605 geomeans and shown in the correctness cell. No unaccounted row is admitted. The frozen-#4605 latency and both #4605 speedups use the same comparable subset. For every full-29 row, the exported and FlashKDA columns cover all 29 shapes; frozen #4605 and both #4605 speedups cover its 28 comparable shapes. `h96_uniform_n256` is the single recorded N/A on each GPU. The 29-shape ledger SHA256 is `1143cd69fcc466eea98865cf2fe48e2c7e6ebc7e1b78a0f47f27caf0097b95d9`; the first-six JSONL subset SHA256 is `a476a70254b7b77c6fb0d5541e5286176ec548cfcda89e7a568a78795ebf9151`. Exported and frozen-#4605 measurements each run with their own same-process FlashKDA peer in the same GPU allocation. `speedup vs #4605` is the geometric mean of per-shape direct latency ratios; `peer-normalized vs #4605` divides out the two harnesses' FlashKDA peer ratio before taking that geometric mean, exposing residual environment drift. <!-- recurrence-piece-performance:end --> ## Related issues - #4254 ## Tests - [x] targeted planner, route, JIT identity, AOT inventory, and binding tests - [x] B200 and B300 JIT compile plus recurrence-piece correctness/repeat tests - [x] public material safety audit and pre-commit - [x] B200/B300/GB200/GB300 29-shape correctness and performance campaign <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added an optimized piece-persistent M128 execution path for eligible uniform FlashKDA prefill workloads. * Added automatic scheduling and fallback to direct M128 execution when the optimized path is unavailable or not beneficial. * Added support for generating and loading the new execution variant. * **Documentation** * Updated prefill documentation to describe routing behavior, eligibility, and fallback conditions. * **Tests** * Added coverage for scheduling, state handoffs, deterministic results, and AOT variant registration. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Yingyi Huang <averyh@nvidia.com>

…al (#4667) ## 📌 Description The BT=16 recurrent KDA prefill kernel added in #4605 is built on `cutlass.experimental`, a namespace that only exists from CuTe DSL 4.7 onwards. `_is_cute_dsl_kda_prefill_eligible` checked only the tensor contract and the compute capability, so on SM100/SM103 with the 4.6.2 floor that `requirements.txt` still permits, an ordinary `recurrent_kda` prefill using the default `backend="auto"` dispatched into the kernel and failed with a bare `ModuleNotFoundError` — even though the caller never asked for the CuTe DSL backend. The graceful path already existed (`test_public_prefill_auto_falls_back_to_cake` covers the ineligible case); the probe simply had no way to know that a missing `cutlass.experimental` is a reason to decline. This PR adds that probe: - `is_cute_dsl_experimental_available()` in `flashinfer/cute_dsl/utils.py`, modelled on the neighbouring `is_rubin_cute_dsl_available()`. It probes the `cutlass.experimental` package rather than a leaf module because the whole namespace (`experimental.cuda`, `experimental.primitives`, `experimental.task_scheduling`) is the 4.6.2/4.7.0 boundary, so the same helper can gate other 4.7-only kernels. - `_is_cute_dsl_kda_prefill_eligible` consults it, which activates the existing Cake fallback for `backend="auto"`. - `recurrent_kda` reports the version requirement directly when `backend="cute-dsl"` is requested explicitly, instead of claiming the prefill *contract* is unsupported. That report is scoped to the compute capabilities this kernel serves, so the SM120 backend added in #4633 — which does not use `cutlass.experimental` and runs fine on 4.6.2 — keeps its own rejection message. Reproduced and verified on a B200 (SM100) against a genuine cutlass-dsl 4.6.2 install. Before, on `main`: ``` cutlass-dsl : 4.6.2 --- backend="auto" ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cutlass.experimental' --- backend="cute-dsl" ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cutlass.experimental' ``` After: ``` cutlass-dsl : 4.6.2 --- backend="auto" OK shape=(1, 32, 2, 128) torch.bfloat16 finite=True --- backend="cute-dsl" ImportError: backend='cute-dsl' requires nvidia-cutlass-dsl>=4.7.0 (cutlass.experimental); backend='auto' falls back to Cake ``` On 4.7.0 both backends behave exactly as before. ## 🔬 Why only KDA: the 4.6.2 vs 4.7 audit This fix came out of a wider audit of `main` against the 4.6.2 floor, done by diffing the extracted 4.6.2 and 4.7.0 wheels and AST-parsing every `cutlass` import in the package. Summarising it here so reviewers can see why the change is scoped to KDA: - **45 files import 4.7-only `cutlass.experimental` modules** across 248 import sites. 44 of them are `flashinfer/attention/prims_ts/**`; the 45th is `flashinfer/kda_kernels/kda_chunked_bt16.py`, the kernel this PR guards. - **`import flashinfer` is unaffected on 4.6.2.** No 4.7-only module is reachable through module-scope imports, which was confirmed by actually importing the package under a real 4.6.2 install. - **PrimTS decode and MLA need no change.** Their entry points in `flashinfer/decode.py` and `flashinfer/mla/__init__.py` are already lazy `__getattr__` hooks, and the APIs are opt-in: nothing dispatches into them implicitly, so on 4.6.2 they can only fail for a caller who explicitly asked for a PrimTS kernel by name. There is no alternative backend to fall back to, so the only possible improvement there is a clearer message — worth doing, but it is a separate cosmetic change rather than a correctness fix. - **The test suite already copes.** The five PrimTS attention tests carry `pytest.importorskip("cutlass", minversion="4.7.0")` and skip cleanly, and `tests/trace/template_registry.py` filters unimportable modules with `except ImportError`. KDA was the only place where an *automatic* dispatch on a default code path turned a missing optional dependency into a crash, which is why it is the only behaviour changed here. For completeness, the SM107/Rubin kernels depend on `cutlass.utils.rubin_helpers` and `tcgen05.mma.CollectorOp`, which are absent from both 4.6.2 and 4.7.0 (they arrive in 4.8). Those are already gated by `is_rubin_cute_dsl_available()` and are untouched by this PR; that existing helper is the pattern the new probe follows. ## 🔍 Related Issues Follow-up to #4605, which introduced the CuTe DSL recurrent prefill backend. ## 🚀 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.). `tests/kda/` on a B200, after merging `main`: **577 passed, 112 skipped**, including the real CuTe DSL kernel tests (`test_cute_dsl_checkpoints_match_cake`, `test_cute_dsl_padded_indexed_state_matches_cake`). 88 of the skips are the new SM120 suite asking for a CC 12.0 device and the rest are `fla` not being installed; none are new here. Also run against a genuine cutlass-dsl 4.6.2 install on the same B200, where the fix takes `tests/kda/` from **23 failed / 410 passed** to **9 failed / 424 passed**. The 9 remaining are pre-existing tests that drive the CuTe DSL API directly and have no version guard; they fail identically before this PR and are left alone here. Added `test_prefill_without_cute_dsl_experimental_falls_back_to_cake`, which runs on ordinary 4.7.0 CI by simulating the older DSL through the probe. It computes a reference through the real CuTe DSL kernel, then forces the probe false and patches `_run_cute_dsl_kda_prefill` to `pytest.fail`, so it asserts the routing actually changed rather than only that the numbers match; it then checks the fallback output against the reference and that the explicit backend raises. ## Reviewer Notes The probe lives inside `_is_cute_dsl_kda_prefill_eligible` rather than as a separate gate in `recurrent_kda`. A standalone gate reads more cleanly, but the existing routing tests monkeypatch the eligibility function to exercise dispatch on CPU tensors, and an ungated check in `kda.py` would have made those pure-Python tests require cutlass >= 4.7 to run at all. Within that function the probe runs *after* the contract checks rather than before them. That ordering is deliberate: it confines the probe to calls that would have imported the kernel anyway, so anything rejected on tensor shape, dtype or compute capability reaches Cake by exactly the path it did before this PR. One consequence worth naming: on an old DSL the version error takes precedence, so an explicit `backend="cute-dsl"` call on an SM100-family device that *also* violates the kernel contract is told to upgrade and only sees the contract error afterwards. Reporting both would mean evaluating the contract and the runtime separately at the dispatch site, which would make the existing CPU-only routing tests depend on cutlass >= 4.7. The upgrade is a genuine prerequisite either way, so the message is incomplete rather than wrong. That precedence is why `_is_cute_dsl_kda_prefill_dsl_too_old` takes the compute capability into account instead of reusing the bare runtime probe at the dispatch site. `main` now tries the SM120 backend first and records its rejection reason for the shared explicit-backend error, so an unscoped version check would have replaced that reason with an irrelevant upgrade instruction on CC 12.0. `test_dsl_version_guard_is_scoped_to_the_sm100_family` pins the scoping for CC 10.0, 10.3 and 12.0 without needing any of those devices. `_is_cute_dsl_kda_runtime_available` imports the helper lazily inside a `try`: `flashinfer/cute_dsl/utils.py` imports `cutlass` at module scope, and `kda_prefill_cute.py` deliberately keeps the DSL stack off the import path. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Bug Fixes** - Improved error handling when the CuTe DSL backend is unavailable. - Added clear installation guidance for the required CuTe DSL version. - Preserved contract-specific validation errors when the runtime is available. - Improved automatic fallback behavior for eligible recurrent KDA prefill operations. - **Documentation** - Clarified CuTe DSL runtime requirements and fallback behavior in the API documentation. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

The top-level facade has defaulted to "auto" since flashinfer-ai#4605, but the default was never documented or pinned, and the docstring described only its prefill half. With flashinfer-ai#5037 making "auto" decode total, "auto" is now a superset of "cute-dsl" on both phases, which is what makes it a safe default for a phase-neutral facade. Document the phase-dependent preference and the superset property, note that the returned state shape follows whichever backend ran, and pin both facade defaults so the released "cute-dsl" default on flashinfer.kda_decode cannot drift. Adds a regression test for the defaulted top-level spelling, which the existing flashinfer-ai#5037 tests do not cover -- they pass backend="auto" by hand. Docs and tests only; no behaviour change. Step 2 of flashinfer-ai#4936.

Description
Add a CuTe DSL BT=16 backend for recurrent KDA prefill on B200 and B300.
backend="auto".chunk_to_seqtensor.Performance
Measured on one NVIDIA B200 through the public
recurrent_kdaAPI with CUPTI device time, cold L2, no CUDA Graph, 20 ms warmup, and a 100 ms measurement target. Cake and CUDA 13.3 CuTe DSL use the interleaved order Cake A, CuTe A, CuTe B, Cake B; each reported value is the midpoint of the two run medians. Cake was freshly compiled from the rebased source tree. CUDA 12.9 is one complete 16-case CuTe DSL pass. Times are microseconds; speedup is Cake / CUDA-13.3 CuTe DSL.Each backend is selected in a separate benchmark invocation:
CuTe DSL wins all 16 cases. Its CUDA 13.3 geometric-mean speedup over Cake is 1.573x, and CUDA 13.3 is faster than CUDA 12.9 in all 16 cases. Auto dispatch selects CuTe DSL for all 16 cases.
B300 was not rerun after replacing the dense
chunk_to_seqtensor with device prefix search, so earlier B300 measurements are intentionally omitted.Tests
Reviewer notes
The Cake implementation is unchanged. Review should focus on the CuTe DSL kernel, backend eligibility and dispatch, planner/graph semantics, state/checkpoint handling, and decomp prefix search.
