feat(prims-ts): add QToken-KvBlock-Sparse-Attention

[PerkzZheng]

📌 Description

Adds PrimTS QToken-KvBlock-Sparse-Attention. Each query independently selects logical K/V blocks. One prepared API supports packed prefill and fixed-group decode without expanding block IDs into token indices.

Interface

Public APIs are exported from flashinfer.decode. The prefill/decode example uses the optional group-size suggestion with a caller-cached SM count.

Input	Layout / meaning
Packed Q	[total_q, Hq, D]; qo_indptr defines request-safe groups
Fixed Q	[B, num_query_groups, G, Hq, D]; no query offsets
K and V	HND views [num_pages, Hkv, page_size, D]
block_table	Dense Int32 [num_requests, max_storage_pages]; no CSR
indexer_block_ids	Logical selected-block IDs [total_q, block_topk]
token_to_request, query_positions	Per-query request ID and causal position

Allocate one byte buffer with get_q_token_kv_block_sparse_workspace_size. Call QTokenKvBlockSparsePagedTSWrapper.plan outside graph capture, warm run once, then capture prepared runs. The plan's batch_size is the route count; seq_len_q is the maximum group size G.

run(q, (k, v), block_table, indexer_block_ids, token_to_request, query_positions, ...) accepts live scales and a caller-owned output. Inputs remain separate from workspace. Metadata outputs and attention/split-KV scratch occupy disjoint workspace regions. Retain the wrapper, inputs and workspace for graph lifetime. The eager convenience API is q_token_kv_block_sparse_attention_with_paged_kv_cache.

Callers choose G1/G2/G4/G5 with G * (Hq/Hkv) <= 64. suggest_q_token_kv_block_sparse_group_size optionally selects a smaller group to expose more CTAs. Partial groups and variable request lengths do not require SQ divisibility. The indexer supplies a distinct causal prefix of min(block_topk, (position+1)//kv_block_size) completed-block IDs; metadata adds the causal partial block. Q1 does not compact holes inside that prefix.

Currently supported: kv_block_size=4, causal non-windowed D256, BF16 Q/K/V/output or FP8-E4M3 Q/K/V with BF16/FP16 output. page_size is physical storage-page size; max_seq_len_kv bounds one request, not aggregate cache capacity. Source supports SM100/SM103; runtime qualification here is on GB300/SM103.

The general CUTLASS DSL dependency/provider minimum remains >=4.6.2a0. Upstream's CUDA-extra minimum >=4.7.0a0 and CI image pin ==4.7.0 are unchanged; the general dependency floor is not a claim of PrimTS runtime qualification on 4.6.2.

Implementation

Q1 directly maps selections in CUDA C++. Grouped routes CUB-sort at most G*(block_topk+1) candidates, then unique-reduce membership bits. There is no full-context bitmap. Physical locators and four-byte-packed membership words are separate; the final word's unused bytes are zeroed. Membership and causal masks preserve each query's selections.

Production sparse attention uses KV128. Packed prefill is nonsplit; fixed decode uses occupancy-based split-KV. PDL acquire/release is uniform across threads and respects barrier, SMEM and TMEM lifetime.

The rebase preserves main's static dense BatchDecodePagedTSWrapper.plan/run interface and row-strided block_tables. Encoded subpages support sparse block size four within larger physical cache pages. The generic CSR-facing wrapper rejects backend="prims-ts"; use the native dense PrimTS interface.

🔍 Related Issues

Preserves the upstream PrimTS static-plan/dense-table work in #4829. Naming follows the related block-sparse interface in #5002.

🚀 Pull Request Checklist

✅ Pre-commit Checks

• I have installed pre-commit by running pip install pre-commit (or used your preferred method).
• I have installed the hooks with pre-commit install.
• I have run the hooks manually with pre-commit run --all-files and fixed any reported issues.

Changed-file hooks pass. Pipeline 67122954 reported sparse-test architecture-eligibility failures and unrelated failures. The test-only eligibility fix below is validated locally; a hosted CI rerun is still required. This is not a full-project CI pass.

🧪 Tests

• Tests have been added or updated as needed.
• All tests are passing (unittest, etc.).

Test-only follow-up 5720483a gives sparse FMHA/workspace cases an exact SM100/SM103 guard; CPU contracts and metadata-only CUDA tests remain enabled. Fresh GB300/SM103 validation passes 141 sparse tests and 232 decode/backend tests, with 96 existing skips. Reported-capability probes for 9.0/12.0/10.7 retain 101 passes and skip the 40 attention-dependent cases; these probes run on SM103 and are not numerical qualification on those other GPUs. No kernel, dispatch policy or tolerance changes, and no Rubin numerical fix is claimed.

Review follow-up 3438e258 adds complete prepared-run documentation, validates encoded trace extents and restricts the FP8/BF16 reduction exception to structurally valid sparse routes. Fresh affected-suite validation passes on GB300/SM103 with CUTLASS DSL 4.7.1. Loader/resolver edits only clarify comments; the TMA schedule is unchanged. These are not full-project CI or SM100-runtime qualification claims.

• Metadata/wrapper: 141 passed.
• Decode/backend: 232 passed, 96 existing hardware/profile skips.
• Shared block-sparse: 229 passed, one skip.
• Trace schemas: 972 passed, including new rejection tests for incompatible encoded storage extents.
• Prior qualification also includes 96 dense passes in a local SM103 opt-in probe without changing production architecture guards.
• Eight focused cases pass both memcheck and initcheck with zero device-memory errors, including inert and poisoned page-table padding. Memcheck retains the previously documented CUDA-Python API-probe reporting workaround; all device-memory checks remain enabled.
• Prior example qualification covers packed/fixed, request-boundary, reference and poisoned graph-replay checks; the recorded vLLM ownership/reference gate passes 119/119.

Coverage includes Q1/Q2/Q4/Q5, partial groups, variable lengths, causal tails, BF16/FP8, storage-page mapping, split-KV, workspace ownership and PDL.

Standalone performance

Timing qualification caveat: the preserved tables below used a uniform-byte L2 scrub, which Blackwell may compress. They are historical results, not signoff for non-compressible cold-L2 eviction. The two published benchmark suites now use separately seeded random bytes and record a distinct timing protocol; corrected-protocol GPU timing must be rerun. The recorded numerical checks and separately collected warmed Nsight stage results are unaffected by this timing caveat.

Real recorded top-k routes; CUDA graphs; 20 warmups and 300 balanced samples. Each sample starts with a same-stream 258.5 MiB L2 eviction before the complete graph, not between its constituent kernels. PrimTS includes metadata, attention and reduction; Triton includes index expansion, sparse attention and reduction.

TP2: Hq/Hkv=12/1, D256, 128K logical model bound. All 62 cases pass: Q5 2/2, automatic-G matrix 54/54 and G4 prefill controls 6/6. The comparator is current-main vLLM a841edb6 on c55e15a4, whose Triton kernels are faster than the earlier PR53896-based comparator. Speedup is Triton / PrimTS.

TP2 workload	Cases	BF16 speedup	FP8 speedup
Packed prefill, automatic G5	BS1, 8K–32K	2.542–2.715x	2.242–2.461x
Decode SQ1, G1	BS8, 8K–32K	0.959–0.990x	0.951–0.982x
Decode SQ1, G1	BS64/256, 8K–32K	1.147–1.220x	1.182–1.233x
Decode SQ4, G4	BS8, 8K–32K	0.835–0.875x	0.859–0.905x
Decode SQ4, G4	BS64/256, 8K–32K	1.570–2.059x	1.278–4.436x
Q5/MTP4 grouped-route proxy	BF16 16/32 groups, 8K	1.274–1.438x	—

Prefill complete times span 544.12–2511.94 µs PrimTS versus 1477.24–6384.75 µs Triton for BF16, and 539.34–2487.74 versus 1327.45–5578.20 µs for FP8. G5 reduces latency by 5.12–7.45% versus matched G4. Q5 takes 34.85/40.88 µs at 16/32 groups versus Triton's 44.39/58.78 µs. The Q5 proxy shares one request/cache across route groups; it is not a disjoint-cache production BS16/32 measurement.

Low-route decode remains slower: BS8/SQ1 by 1.1–5.2%, BS8/SQ4 by 10.5–19.8%, and BS1 as listed below. Other BS64/256 rows are faster. These are not new rebase regressions.

BS1 configuration, 8K/16K/32K	PrimTS complete	Triton complete	PrimTS regression
BF16 SQ1/MTP0, G1	19.79–20.34 µs	14.42–15.89 µs	24.7–41.1%
FP8 SQ1/MTP0, G1	20.58–20.68 µs	14.29–14.98 µs	37.8–44.8%
BF16 SQ4/MTP3, automatic G1	22.30–22.48 µs	16.48–17.14 µs	30.6–35.3%
FP8 SQ4/MTP3, automatic G1	21.12–22.04 µs	16.28–16.39 µs	28.9–35.1%

For BS1/SQ4, automatic G1 keeps four independent routes, avoiding grouped sort/union and exposing more CTAs. No shape-specific policy was added for these outliers.

All 62 same-node old-head controls pass. Versus 96d9f727, automatic-G latency changes by −0.04% geometrically, with a largest increase of 3.03%; Q5 changes by at most +0.09%, and G4 controls by at most +0.55%. No tile/split configuration changed. Raw samples, component timings and source/trace fingerprints are retained in qsa_bench/rebase_main_20260909/.

Framework validation

The vLLM integration guide describes packed prefill, fixed decode and shared workspace ownership. The recorded model-validation results and limits are summarized below; this review follow-up does not rerun model accuracy or performance.

TP2 FP8/MTP3 accuracy uses the fixed temperature-0.6, seed-42, xhigh sampler and 131072-token output budget. LongBench is the existing untruncated 48-question cohort, not the full benchmark.

Task	Triton	PrimTS
GSM8K	1290/1319 (97.80%)	1286/1319 (97.50%)
GPQA-Diamond, two reps	365/396 (92.17%)	361/396 (91.16%)
LongBench v2 cohort	32/48 (66.67%)	33/48 (68.75%)

All 3,526 requests complete without request errors. GPQA has one capped Triton answer and two capped PrimTS answers; both PrimTS caps have no final choice. All caps are incorrect, so strict scores are unchanged. PrimTS is 1.01 percentage points lower on GPQA; both backends also change nine choices between repetitions. The unfinished-answer caveat remains, and these stochastic scores do not prove numerical equivalence.

All eight paired pure-stage Nsight comparisons pass the both-rank work audit. These are warmed CUDA-graph node traces, separate from cold-L2 standalone results. Prefill measures the fourth request after three warmups; decode includes MTP3 draft work and uses 64 resident requests (256 target query tokens). Resident BS256 exceeds this TP2 hybrid-cache capacity and is not claimed.

Pure stage, 8K/16K	KV	Sparse speedup	All-layer speedup
Prefill, BS1	BF16	2.172–2.473x	1.083–1.088x
Prefill, BS1	FP8	1.915–2.211x	1.067x
Decode MTP3, BS64	BF16	1.565–1.657x	1.020–1.022x
Decode MTP3, BS64	FP8	1.178–1.284x	1.014x

Prefill sparse and all-layer absolute savings agree within 0.29 ms. The pinned image needs main's BF16 MoE activation-padding fix for prefill; both backends use the same local backport. This is an image compatibility fix, not a sparse-attention change. Remaining low-route standalone regressions and SM100 runtime qualification stay explicit.

🔬 Experimental Track

• This PR is experimental: it adds or changes code under flashinfer/experimental/ and/or an @flashinfer_experimental_api. Tracking issue: #
  • The tracking issue names an owner, the reason for the experimental path, and a graduation plan with a target release.
  • Core changes are limited to a thin entry point (signature, shared validation, feature-gate check, backend selection, handoff).
  • Tests live in tests/experimental/ and were validated on the intended hardware; a runnable example is included.
  • Nothing is registered in flashinfer/aot.py, and no experimental backend is reachable from backend="auto" without FLASHINFER_ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_AUTO_BACKENDS=1. (Calling an @flashinfer_experimental_api or naming a backend explicitly is itself the opt-in and needs no environment variable.)
  • Test scope declared below. The experimental CI lane runs exactly these targets, so keep them as narrow as the change allows.

# One target per line: a directory or a file. (A pytest ::selector is not
# supported -- the sharding runner cannot consume one.) Must be under
# tests/experimental/ and must exist. Delete these comment lines and add yours, e.g.
#
#   tests/experimental/test_my_backend.py
#   tests/experimental/my_backend/
#
# Declaring the whole tree (tests/experimental/) is allowed but means every
# experimental PR pays for every other feature's tests, in every matrix cell.

Reviewer Notes

Please focus on dense-table/workspace ownership, sort/union membership semantics, causal masking, packed/fixed query layouts and PDL resource lifetime. SM100 runtime qualification, unfinished GPQA answers and low-route latency remain follow-ups. AI assistance was used.

Fixed the relevant test-eligibility issues in 5720483a.

The sparse FMHA/workspace tests now use exact SM100/SM103 eligibility. CUDA availability alone admitted the 17 failing attention-dependent cases on H100/SM120; the common arch_blackwell marker also admitted Rubin because it checks only major capability 10. CPU contracts, metadata-only CUDA tests and early validation cases remain enabled. No production kernels, policies, test bodies or numerical tolerances changed.

Validation	Result
Actual GB300/SM103 sparse suite	141 passed
Actual GB300 decode/backend suite	232 passed, 96 existing skips
Reported SM90/SM120, before fix	17 failed, 101 passed, 23 skipped each
Reported SM90/SM120/SM107, after fix	101 passed, 40 skipped each
CPU-only sparse suite	36 passed, 105 GPU skips

Capability probes execute on a real SM103 GPU with the reported capability overridden; they test guards, not numerical correctness on H100/SM120/Rubin. Before/after JUnit comparison preserves the same 141 case IDs and every existing passing case. Changed-file pre-commit hooks pass. Environment: GB300, CUDA 13.0, Torch 2.13.0+cu130, CUTLASS DSL 4.7.1.

I left the MoE autotuner and FP8 GEMM findings untouched: the report does not establish PR attribution, and this change does not modify their implementations or the dependency floor. Other pre-existing failures remain out of scope. I could not access the raw Rubin tracebacks, so this fixes eligibility for the declared SM100/SM103 sparse test scope, not an alleged Rubin numerical/compiler bug. A hosted rerun is still needed; no full-CI pass is claimed.

The other open findings were rechecked: the prepared-run docstring is complete, the old membership side channel is gone, and both page4/page32 reduction-predicate tests pass. The page-size thread has a separate evidence-backed reply; manual thread resolution remains with the reviewer.

[P2] out is never validated against the route metadata inputs

flashinfer/attention/prims_ts/q_token_kv_block_sparse_metadata.py imports only _validate_tensor_does_not_overlap_inputs; _validate_out_does_not_overlap_inputs, in the same _tensor_aliasing module, is not imported or called on this path. The one guard, _validate_q_token_kv_block_sparse_workspace_aliasing(), takes workspace_buffer as its checked subject, so passing out=out into it only establishes out ∩ workspace_buffer = ∅.

The decode layer's _validate_decode_output_aliasing() does check out, but this path hands it views.q_token_kv_block_sparse_page_indices, views.seq_lens and views.q_token_kv_block_sparse_page_memberships — all workspace slices. So out is compared against q, k_cache, v_cache, qo_indptr and the workspace, but never against indexer_block_ids, the caller's block_table, token_to_request or query_positions.

A caller can therefore pass an out that clears every shape and dtype check while sharing storage with one of those four Int32/Int64 route tensors (e.g. via views over shared storage). The metadata kernel reads them, attention writes out over them, and the next prepared run or CUDA-graph replay rebuilds routes from corrupted metadata — silently wrong results rather than an error. The private _PrimsTSQTokenKvBlockSparsePlan contract says that replacement tensors must remain disjoint, but neither public entry point states or enforces that restriction.

[PerkzZheng]

[P2] out is never validated against the route metadata inputs

@qsang-nv I think _validate_tensor_does_not_overlap_inputs a bit over-engineering (conservative) created by codex. I would like to remove the validation entirely instead to avoid potential host overhead.

In `@flashinfer/attention/prims_ts/_block_sparse/runtime.py`:
- Around line 269-270: Restore output-storage overlap validation in the runtime
launch validation flow for live inputs and plan-owned writable buffers, while
allowing valid self-attention calls such as out=k only when the operation
explicitly supports them safely. Retain an unchecked path only behind a clearly
explicit opt-in fast-path flag, and ensure the default behavior rejects
overlapping output storage before kernel launch.

In `@flashinfer/attention/prims_ts/README.md`:
- Around line 46-51: Update the aliasing contract in the PrimTS API
documentation to state that callers own all storage-overlap obligations
regardless of the validate setting, including default validation. Clarify that
validation does not detect or reject overlap and that violating these
preconditions may produce corrupted results rather than an error.
