📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds CuTe-DSL compile-architecture resolution and updates Blackwell GDN compilation to use it. CuTe-DSL GEMM and BMM backend checks now reject devices that the installed DSL cannot compile for. ChangesCuTe-DSL architecture handling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR can still select the FP4 CuTe DSL path for SM107 when CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f is set, even though that family target may not compile the Rubin-specific kernel; this can cause compilation failures, so the native-target requirement should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

…4649) Cherry-pick of Vinnie6167's #4649 (7 commits, squashed; the PR already targets release-v0.6.18). The cute-dsl GEMM backends advertise sm_107 statically, but whether the installed CuTe DSL can emit for that arch is an availability question, not a capability one. Consult the arch probe in the mxfp8/fp4/bmm-fp8 requirement checks so an unsupported DSL deselects the backend instead of failing the call, and resolve the GDN CP delta-rule arch through cute_dsl_compile_arch rather than formatting f"sm_{major}{minor}a" -- which raised a bare KeyError: 'sm_107a' from inside cute.compile on any DSL older than 4.8.

…(>=4.6.2a0) (#4715) ## Summary `requirements.txt` on `release-v0.6.18` requires `nvidia-cutlass-dsl>=4.7.0a0`, while `main` requires `>=4.6.2a0`. This lowers the release branch to match, making the two files byte-identical. The divergence is an artifact of the rc4 cherry-pick: it captured an intermediate head of #4526, which had only relaxed the previous `==4.7.0` hard pin to `>=4.7.0a0`. The head that actually merged to `main` (f092274) lowered the floor to `>=4.6.2a0`. This line is the only remaining difference between the two branches' `requirements.txt`. ## Why it matters `requirements.txt` is the base `install_requires` — `pyproject.toml` sets `dynamic = ["dependencies"]` with `dependencies = {file = ["requirements.txt"]}`. A 4.7-only floor there makes a plain `pip install` unsatisfiable alongside `quack-kernels` 0.6.4, which hard-pins `nvidia-cutlass-dsl==4.6.2` (the same conflict #4555 / #4556 worked around with `--no-deps` in CI). Nothing that currently gets 4.7 loses it: | Install path | DSL requirement | Changed? | | --- | --- | --- | | base (`requirements.txt`) | `>=4.6.2a0` | yes, was `>=4.7.0a0` | | `[cu12]` / `[cu13]` extras (`pyproject.toml`) | `>=4.7.0a0` | no — already matches `main` | | CI (`scripts/test_utils.sh`) | `>=4.7.0a0`, installed explicitly | no | Kernels that genuinely need the newer DSL are gated at runtime, not by this floor: `is_rubin_cute_dsl_available()` plus the arch probes now consulted by #4649 and #4710. On a 4.6.2 environment those paths deselect the backend and fall back instead of failing with `KeyError: 'sm_107a'` from inside the DSL. ## Test plan - [x] `requirements.txt` is byte-identical to `upstream/main` - [x] `pyproject.toml` cu12/cu13 extras unchanged and already equal to `main` - [x] pre-commit clean (including the `fix requirements.txt` hook, so no reordering needed) - [ ] CI on this branch — the DSL version CI resolves is unaffected, since `scripts/test_utils.sh` installs `>=4.7.0a0` explicitly Metadata-only change; no code paths touched.
Rebased onto main and squashed from 7 commits. The same change is already on release-v0.6.18 as 24f9b90; this brings it to main. The cute-dsl GEMM backends advertise sm_107 statically, but whether the installed CuTe DSL can emit for that arch is an availability question, not a capability one. Consult the arch probe in the mxfp8/fp4/bmm-fp8 requirement checks so an unsupported DSL deselects the backend instead of failing the call, and resolve the GDN CP delta-rule arch through cute_dsl_compile_arch rather than formatting f"sm_{major}{minor}a" -- which raised a bare KeyError: 'sm_107a' from inside cute.compile on any DSL older than 4.8.

Require a native CuTe DSL target for SM107 FP4 tactics.
With CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f, _check_cute_dsl_arch accepts the family target because native_only defaults to False. The SM107 runner then selects Sm107BlockScaledPersistentDenseGemmKernel, which emits Rubin tcgen05 block-scaled MMA and compiles with self.arch = "sm_107". The kernel can therefore pass backend selection and fail during compilation.

…lashinfer-ai#4649) ## Problem On SM107 (Rubin) with a CuTe DSL older than 4.8, FlashInfer fails with a bare `KeyError: 'sm_107a'` raised from `enum.py` inside `cute.compile` — no FlashInfer frame in the traceback, and no warning. The root cause is that `supported_compute_capability` gates on **hardware capability alone**. flashinfer-ai#4122 widened the cute-dsl lists to `[100, 103, 107]`, which tells the dispatcher Rubin is supported regardless of which DSL is installed. Public CuTe DSL tops out at 4.7.0 on PyPI, and that release has no `sm_107a` in its `Arch` enum. This is reachable without asking for cute-dsl explicitly — two `auto` heuristics route SM107 *toward* it: - `_heuristic_func_mm_fp4`: `elif is_sm107: candidate_backends = ("cudnn", "cutlass", "cute-dsl")` - `_heuristic_func_bmm_fp8`: appends `"cute-dsl_sm107"` when `is_sm107_supported` ## Changes **1. Decline the cute-dsl backend when the installed DSL cannot emit for the device** (`fix(gemm)`) The three cute-dsl requirement functions now call `_check_cute_dsl_arch(...)`, which sits beside the existing `_check_cute_dsl_availability()` and delegates to `require_cute_dsl_arch()` — the helper added in flashinfer-ai#4122, which owns both the predicate and the message (it derives the family arch and names the exact `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` to export). Only the exception type is adapted, and that part is load bearing: `require_cute_dsl_arch` raises `NotImplementedError`, while `suitable_auto_backends` catches `ValueError` to mean "backend not suitable" and keeps searching. Left unadapted, an unsupported DSL would propagate out of the auto path and fail the call instead of falling back to cutlass/cudnn. Returning `False` instead of raising was also rejected: on the explicit-backend path that surfaces as `ValueError: Problem size is not supported`, which is misleading. **No capability lists change.** This is deliberately an *availability* check, not a capability one. The kernels do exist for sm_107, so `@supported_compute_capability([100, 103, 107])` stays as-is and `is_backend_supported("cute-dsl", 107)` keeps answering `True` — it is a public method on the wrapper, called with no tensors by e.g. `flashinfer/trace/templates/gemm.py:707`, and making it vary with an installed pip package would also have made the skip reason in `tests/grouped_mm/conftest.py` environment-dependent. This mirrors how the codebase already separates the two axes: `_cudnn_mm_mxfp8_requirement` lists its capabilities statically while `CUDNN_AVAILABLE` handles presence, and `_is_cudnn_override_shape_available` handles a dependency that is present but too old. **2. GDN CP delta rule resolves the arch instead of formatting it** (`fix(gdn)`) `_blackwell_compile_options` guards on the major only, then builds `f"sm_{major}{minor}a"`. Rubin is 10.7, so it passes a check written when "compute 10.x" meant Blackwell 10.0/10.3. This is the only place FlashInfer names the arch for a compute-10 device; everywhere else the DSL derives it internally. `cute_dsl_compile_arch()` returns the device's own arch when the DSL has it, the family arch when the DSL is targeting `sm_100f`, and otherwise raises `NotImplementedError` naming `CUTE_DSL_ARCH`. Same rule as the capability gate, so the two cannot disagree. ## Testing Rubin CI, `TEST_PATH="tests/gemm tests/gdn"`, against `release-v0.6.18`, with `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` exported and public CuTe DSL 4.7.0: | | before | after | |---|---|---| | passed | 8,141 | **12,341** | | failed | 4,230 | **1** | | `KeyError: 'sm_107a'` | 4,482 | **0** | Identical results on **both** VR200 (`hecate`, 4 workers, 2,078s) and GR100 (8 workers, 3,424s); `suite_complete=true` on both, well inside the 13,500s deadline. Per-file, verified independently on both boards: | File | before | after | |---|---|---| | `tests/gdn/test_prefill_delta_rule.py` | 2,678 | **0** | | `tests/gemm/test_mm_mxfp8.py` | 501 | **0** | | `tests/gdn/test_decode_delta_rule.py` | 417 | **0** | | `tests/gdn/test_prefill_cp_delta_rule.py` | 232 | **0** | The remaining failures are `tests/gdn/test_decode_ucache.py` and `tests/gemm/test_bmm_fp8.py` — see below. `BackendSupportedError` count is **0**, so the cute-dsl backends are being selected and compiling successfully against `sm_100f` — not silently skipped. The node accounting reconciles exactly: the plan drops 44,275 → 44,229 nodes and 37 → 36 units, i.e. the 46 tests in the ucache module leave collection entirely (a module-level skip is taken during collection, so those nodes are not counted as `skipped`). `passed` moves +287 = +288 Triton tests now compiling, −1 ucache test that previously passed; `failed` moves −333 = −288 Triton −45 ucache. Also unit-tested away from hardware: the new decorator resolves conditional 107 as False on DSL 4.7, True on 4.8+/`CUTE_DSL_ARCH`, False when the predicate raises, and yields a plain `set` when no conditional is given. `cute_dsl_compile_arch` was verified against a stubbed `Arch` enum for native / family / unsupported / Blackwell-unchanged, and the skip predicate for all four DSL-vs-arch combinations. ### Caveats - **The numbers above do not reflect this branch.** They were measured at `93143db2`, which carried a skip guard for `tests/gdn/test_decode_ucache.py` that has since been reverted, so 45 of those tests now fail again rather than skipping. - **The gemm mechanism changed after that measurement.** The two commits after it moved the check out of the decorator and into the requirement functions; that mechanism is unit-tested (adapter pass-through, `NotImplementedError` → `ValueError`, silent when the probe cannot be imported) but has not been re-run on hardware. - The measurement runs also carry `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` from the CI side. With it set the DSL *can* target sm_107, so `_check_cute_dsl_arch` passes and the gemm change is a no-op; only a run without that variable exercises the deselect-and-fall-back path. - `cute_dsl_compile_arch` changes `gdn_cp_prefill.py` for **all** compute-10 devices, not just Rubin. Blackwell resolution (`sm_100a` / `sm_103a`) is verified against a stubbed `Arch` enum, not on B200/GB200 hardware. ## Not addressed - **45 `KeyError: 'sm_107a'`** in `tests/gdn/test_decode_ucache.py`. Not fixable from FlashInfer: those kernels compile through `@cute.experimental.jit` / `@cute.experimental.kernel`, passing no arch and no compile options, so the DSL resolves the device arch itself and looks up `sm_107a` in its own enum. There is no FlashInfer-side site to guard, the traceback bottoms out at `enum.py:813` with no FlashInfer frame, and `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` does not help because that path never consults it — which points at a genuine **CuTe DSL 4.8** requirement. Left visible rather than skipped; the kernel author (flashinfer-ai#4081) is better placed to say whether it is inherent. - **1 `No valid cute-dsl SM107 bmm_fp8 config`** in `tests/gemm/test_bmm_fp8.py` — pre-existing, and present on the internal DSL 4.8 stack too (18 vs 20 occurrences across stacks), so it is independent of the DSL version question. The 288 Triton `PTXASError` failures previously seen in `tests/gemm/test_group_gemm.py` were a CI-side issue, not a FlashInfer one: Triton resolves ptxas through its own knobs (`TRITON_PTXAS_PATH`, and `TRITON_PTXAS_BLACKWELL_PATH` for arch >= 100, which is the one Rubin selects) and otherwise falls back to `$CUDA_HOME/bin/ptxas`. Fixed in flashinfer-ci!354; this run confirms 0 remaining. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added architecture detection for CuTe DSL compilation, including native and family-compatible GPU architectures. * Added clear guidance when the installed DSL cannot compile for a target GPU. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved Blackwell architecture handling, including support for devices with nonstandard architecture identifiers. * Prevented unsuitable CuTe DSL backends from being selected automatically when architecture support is unavailable. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This is reachable without asking for cute-dsl explicitly — two `auto` heuristics route SM107 *toward* it: - `_heuristic_func_mm_fp4`: `elif is_sm107: candidate_backends = ("cudnn", "cutlass", "cute-dsl")` - `_heuristic_func_bmm_fp8`: appends `"cute-dsl_sm107"` when `is_sm107_supported` ## Changes **1. Decline the cute-dsl backend when the installed DSL cannot emit for the device** (`fix(gemm)`) The three cute-dsl requirement functions now call `_check_cute_dsl_arch(...)`, which sits beside the existing `_check_cute_dsl_availability()` and delegates to `require_cute_dsl_arch()` — the helper added in flashinfer-ai#4122, which owns both the predicate and the message (it derives the family arch and names the exact `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` to export). Only the exception type is adapted, and that part is load bearing: `require_cute_dsl_arch` raises `NotImplementedError`, while `suitable_auto_backends` catches `ValueError` to mean "backend not suitable" and keeps searching. Left unadapted, an unsupported DSL would propagate out of the auto path and fail the call instead of falling back to cutlass/cudnn. Returning `False` instead of raising was also rejected: on the explicit-backend path that surfaces as `ValueError: Problem size is not supported`, which is misleading. **No capability lists change.** This is deliberately an *availability* check, not a capability one. The kernels do exist for sm_107, so `@supported_compute_capability([100, 103, 107])` stays as-is and `is_backend_supported("cute-dsl", 107)` keeps answering `True` — it is a public method on the wrapper, called with no tensors by e.g. `flashinfer/trace/templates/gemm.py:707`, and making it vary with an installed pip package would also have made the skip reason in `tests/grouped_mm/conftest.py` environment-dependent. This mirrors how the codebase already separates the two axes: `_cudnn_mm_mxfp8_requirement` lists its capabilities statically while `CUDNN_AVAILABLE` handles presence, and `_is_cudnn_override_shape_available` handles a dependency that is present but too old. **2. GDN CP delta rule resolves the arch instead of formatting it** (`fix(gdn)`) `_blackwell_compile_options` guards on the major only, then builds `f"sm_{major}{minor}a"`. Rubin is 10.7, so it passes a check written when "compute 10.x" meant Blackwell 10.0/10.3. This is the only place FlashInfer names the arch for a compute-10 device; everywhere else the DSL derives it internally. `cute_dsl_compile_arch()` returns the device's own arch when the DSL has it, the family arch when the DSL is targeting `sm_100f`, and otherwise raises `NotImplementedError` naming `CUTE_DSL_ARCH`. Same rule as the capability gate, so the two cannot disagree. ## Testing Rubin CI, `TEST_PATH="tests/gemm tests/gdn"`, against `release-v0.6.18`, with `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` exported and public CuTe DSL 4.7.0: | | before | after | |---|---|---| | passed | 8,141 | **12,341** | | failed | 4,230 | **1** | | `KeyError: 'sm_107a'` | 4,482 | **0** | Identical results on **both** VR200 (`hecate`, 4 workers, 2,078s) and GR100 (8 workers, 3,424s); `suite_complete=true` on both, well inside the 13,500s deadline. Per-file, verified independently on both boards: | File | before | after | |---|---|---| | `tests/gdn/test_prefill_delta_rule.py` | 2,678 | **0** | | `tests/gemm/test_mm_mxfp8.py` | 501 | **0** | | `tests/gdn/test_decode_delta_rule.py` | 417 | **0** | | `tests/gdn/test_prefill_cp_delta_rule.py` | 232 | **0** | The remaining failures are `tests/gdn/test_decode_ucache.py` and `tests/gemm/test_bmm_fp8.py` — see below. `BackendSupportedError` count is **0**, so the cute-dsl backends are being selected and compiling successfully against `sm_100f` — not silently skipped. The node accounting reconciles exactly: the plan drops 44,275 → 44,229 nodes and 37 → 36 units, i.e. the 46 tests in the ucache module leave collection entirely (a module-level skip is taken during collection, so those nodes are not counted as `skipped`). `passed` moves +287 = +288 Triton tests now compiling, −1 ucache test that previously passed; `failed` moves −333 = −288 Triton −45 ucache. Also unit-tested away from hardware: the new decorator resolves conditional 107 as False on DSL 4.7, True on 4.8+/`CUTE_DSL_ARCH`, False when the predicate raises, and yields a plain `set` when no conditional is given. `cute_dsl_compile_arch` was verified against a stubbed `Arch` enum for native / family / unsupported / Blackwell-unchanged, and the skip predicate for all four DSL-vs-arch combinations. ### Caveats - **The numbers above do not reflect this branch.** They were measured at `93143db2`, which carried a skip guard for `tests/gdn/test_decode_ucache.py` that has since been reverted, so 45 of those tests now fail again rather than skipping. - **The gemm mechanism changed after that measurement.** The two commits after it moved the check out of the decorator and into the requirement functions; that mechanism is unit-tested (adapter pass-through, `NotImplementedError` → `ValueError`, silent when the probe cannot be imported) but has not been re-run on hardware. - The measurement runs also carry `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` from the CI side. With it set the DSL *can* target sm_107, so `_check_cute_dsl_arch` passes and the gemm change is a no-op; only a run without that variable exercises the deselect-and-fall-back path. - `cute_dsl_compile_arch` changes `gdn_cp_prefill.py` for **all** compute-10 devices, not just Rubin. Blackwell resolution (`sm_100a` / `sm_103a`) is verified against a stubbed `Arch` enum, not on B200/GB200 hardware. ## Not addressed - **45 `KeyError: 'sm_107a'`** in `tests/gdn/test_decode_ucache.py`. Not fixable from FlashInfer: those kernels compile through `@cute.experimental.jit` / `@cute.experimental.kernel`, passing no arch and no compile options, so the DSL resolves the device arch itself and looks up `sm_107a` in its own enum. There is no FlashInfer-side site to guard, the traceback bottoms out at `enum.py:813` with no FlashInfer frame, and `CUTE_DSL_ARCH=sm_100f` does not help because that path never consults it — which points at a genuine **CuTe DSL 4.8** requirement. Left visible rather than skipped; the kernel author (flashinfer-ai#4081) is better placed to say whether it is inherent. - **1 `No valid cute-dsl SM107 bmm_fp8 config`** in `tests/gemm/test_bmm_fp8.py` — pre-existing, and present on the internal DSL 4.8 stack too (18 vs 20 occurrences across stacks), so it is independent of the DSL version question. The 288 Triton `PTXASError` failures previously seen in `tests/gemm/test_group_gemm.py` were a CI-side issue, not a FlashInfer one: Triton resolves ptxas through its own knobs (`TRITON_PTXAS_PATH`, and `TRITON_PTXAS_BLACKWELL_PATH` for arch >= 100, which is the one Rubin selects) and otherwise falls back to `$CUDA_HOME/bin/ptxas`.
