perf(cake_kda): add recurrence-piece persistent M128 prefill - #4728
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds a BF16 piece-persistent M128 CUDA path. Uniform KDA prefill workloads can use occupancy- and dependency-aware piece scheduling. The change also adds module registration, workspace handoffs, fallback routing, documentation, and tests. ChangesPiece-persistent FlashKDA M128
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR adds a specialized recurrence-prefill route, with a localized opportunity to reduce avoidable host-side planning overhead for some calls. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; normal checks and review are sufficient. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the implementation, route constraints, related issue, qualification data, correctness results, and tests. It omits the repository checklist sections, but it explicitly states that pre-commit and targeted validation were completed, so the description is substantially complete. ✨ Finishing Touches 💡 1🛠️ Fix failing CI checks 💡

916-925: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winReplace the per-task worker scan with round-robin assignment.
All tasks share one
chunk_count, somin(range(worker_count), key=...)always returnstask_idx % worker_count. The scan therefore adds no balance and makes the host cost O(total_tasks*worker_count). At 128 sequences and 96 heads with 152 workers that is about 1.9M lambda evaluations on the first eager call for that shape.The cost is also paid by shapes that do not use the route:
_select_flash_kda_bf16_routecalls_should_use_uniform_piece_persistentbeforepiece_persistent_candidateis consulted, so a call withoutinitial_statestill builds the bins and the dependency graph and then falls back to direct M128.The replacement keeps
peak_slotsidentical, because workers0..extra_tasks-1remain the peak-load bins.♻️ Proposed refactor for the assignment loop
chunk_count = (sequence_length + _FLASH_KDA_M128_CHUNK - 1) // _FLASH_KDA_M128_CHUNK bins: list[list[tuple[int, int, int, int, int]]] = [[] for _ in range(worker_count)] loads = [0] * worker_count for task_idx in range(total_tasks): - worker_idx = min( - range(worker_count), - key=lambda index: (loads[index], index), - ) + # Every task has the same chunk count, so least-loaded selection is + # exactly round-robin over the worker bins. + worker_idx = task_idx % worker_count bins[worker_idx].append((task_idx, 0, sequence_length, -1, -1)) loads[worker_idx] += chunk_countConsider also gating the roofline call on the same conditions as
piece_persistent_candidateso ineligible calls skip the model entirely.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Description
This follow-up to #4675 adds a frozen recurrence-piece persistent M128
specialization to the explicit
recurrent_kda(..., backend="cake")prefillportfolio 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 thereforecontinue to use the previously qualified non-piece variants.
