# FlashInfer Perf Benchmarking Framework -- `flashinfer_benchmark.py`

## VibeCUDA AlphaMoE router versus CAKE

`bench_alphamoe_router.py` compares the VibeCUDA backend directly with the
optimized CAKE router from PR 4339. Torch is only a correctness reference,
never the performance denominator. Because both revisions provide the
`flashinfer` package, install the pinned CAKE checkout into an isolated virtual
environment and pass both its checkout and Python executable to the benchmark:

```bash
BASELINE_WT=/tmp/flashinfer-pr4339-baseline
BASELINE_VENV=/tmp/flashinfer-pr4339-venv
CANDIDATE_VENV=/tmp/flashinfer-vibecuda-venv
git fetch https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer.git \
0725744e58a9e338e8d315d82891878b07decd8f
git worktree add --detach "$BASELINE_WT" \
0725744e58a9e338e8d315d82891878b07decd8f
python3 -m pip install virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv --system-site-packages "$BASELINE_VENV"
"$BASELINE_VENV/bin/python" -m pip install --no-build-isolation -e "$BASELINE_WT" -v

python3 -m virtualenv --system-site-packages "$CANDIDATE_VENV"
"$CANDIDATE_VENV/bin/python" -m pip install --no-build-isolation -e "$PWD" -v

PYTHONPATH=$PWD "$CANDIDATE_VENV/bin/python" benchmarks/bench_alphamoe_router.py \
--candidate-python "$CANDIDATE_VENV/bin/python" \
--baseline-root "$BASELINE_WT" \
--baseline-python "$BASELINE_VENV/bin/python"
```

The command validates the immutable CAKE commit, runs both implementations in
isolated processes with the same four workloads and CUPTI protocol, and reports
CAKE/VibeCUDA per-workload, arithmetic-mean, and geometric-mean speedup.

The aim of `flashinfer_benchmark.py` is to provide a single framework for benchmarking any FlashInfer kernel and replace standalone benchmarking scripts.

`bench_recurrent_kda_prefill.py --case-set h12` runs the six Kimi-K3 TP8 H12

"""Compare the VibeCUDA AlphaMoE router with pinned CAKE PR 4339.

The candidate and CAKE checkouts both provide the ``flashinfer`` package, so
the benchmark executes them in isolated Python processes and combines their
matched CUPTI measurements. Prepare the baseline checkout as documented in
``benchmarks/README.md``, then run::

python3 benchmarks/bench_alphamoe_router.py \
--candidate-python /tmp/flashinfer-vibecuda-venv/bin/python \
--baseline-root /tmp/flashinfer-pr4339-baseline \
--baseline-python /tmp/flashinfer-pr4339-venv/bin/python

Torch is only an independent correctness reference, never the denominator.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject modified baseline worktrees.

Line 63 verifies only the baseline HEAD. A tracked modification can change the CAKE router while preserving CAKE_SHA, and the final report will still identify that result as the pinned baseline.

Proposed fix
 def _validate_baseline(root: Path) -> None:
     actual = _checkout_sha(root)
     if actual != CAKE_SHA:
         raise RuntimeError(
             f"CAKE baseline must be {CAKE_SHA}, got {actual} at {root}"
         )
+    modified = subprocess.check_output(
+        ["git", "status", "--porcelain", "--untracked-files=no"],
+        cwd=root,
+        text=True,
+    ).strip()
+    if modified:
+        raise RuntimeError(f"CAKE baseline has tracked modifications at {root}")

Validate routing outputs before reporting speedups.

The worker discards the route bundle from Line 150 and writes only timing data. _aggregate can therefore report a speedup when the candidate and CAKE routers produce different routing metadata.

  • benchmarks/bench_alphamoe_router.py#L150-L165: retain one result per workload and validate the full routing bundle against the Torch oracle before bench_gpu_time.
  • benchmarks/README.md#L5-L7: keep the Torch correctness-reference statement only after the worker performs that validation.
