perf(cake_sparse_mla): round-5 DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake programs for SM100/SM103 (exact numerics; stacked on #5644) - #5686
Merged
Conversation
…r in the public host The round-5 FP8/H128 and FP8/H64 persistent programs store O through a TMA descriptor (`tmap_o`). The regenerated registry carried the new argument but `flashinfer/mla/cake_dsv4.py` had no `_TMA_SOURCE_ALIASES` entry for it, so every FP8 launch on those routes raised "argument 'tmap_o' (tma_buffer) has no host value" (tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_hardening.py FP8 cases on SM100/SM103). Alias `tmap_o` to the same `[tokens, heads, 512]` output rows the plain `O` pointer argument binds. `test_registered_arg_plans_use_known_names` now also requires every TMA descriptor to alias one of the tensors the host actually places in its value table (Q, SWA_cache, compressed_KV_cache, O), so a vocabulary-only match can no longer pass while the launch-time binding fails.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Order the zero-fill stores of all lanes before the elected kv_full arrival.
In the invalid-index path, every lane writes zeros with st.shared.v4.b32 and then executes fence.proxy.async.shared::cta. After that, only the lane chosen by elect_sync() performs mbarrier_arrive_expect_tx on kv_full, and that arrive has release semantics. A release orders only the writes of the thread that issues it, plus writes that thread has already observed. The kernel has no __syncwarp() between the fence and elect_sync(), so the zero-fill stores from the other 31 lanes are not ordered before the arrival. elect.sync makes the lanes converge, but it gives no memory-ordering guarantee.
The MMA warp waits on kv_full and then reads these regions through the async proxy as K and V operands. If it sees stale shared memory, masked rows can contain NaN or Inf values. Softmax sets P to 0 for masked rows, but 0 * NaN is still NaN, so the P·V accumulation can be corrupted.
Add a warp-level synchronization after the fence in both split branches. Apply the same change in the exporter template.
Proposed fix
asm volatile("fence.proxy.async.shared::cta;" ::: "memory");
+ __syncwarp();
if (elect_sync()) {
mbarrier_arrive_expect_tx(kv_full_addr + (k_stage_2) * 8, gathered_groups * 1024);
} asm volatile("fence.proxy.async.shared::cta;" ::: "memory");
+ __syncwarp();
if (elect_sync()) {
mbarrier_arrive_expect_tx(kv_full_addr + (k_stage_3) * 8, gathered_groups_1 * 1024);

…0/SM103 (exact numerics; stacked on #5686) (#5700) ## Summary Round-6 performance of the `backend="cake"` DeepSeek-V4 sparse-MLA decode path of `trtllm_batch_decode_sparse_mla_dsv4` (SM100a / SM103a), regenerated from the same producer pipeline as #5686. No host change. Every regenerated program computes bit-identical output to its #5686 predecessor: this round only re-times data movement, store widths, pipeline depths and the kernel ABI, with no change to the arithmetic. - **BF16/H128 split-K programs, classes E / F / B / C (18 rows):** reducer family — 256-bit partial stores, batched partial loads, and a leaner 5-split reducer on SM103a; class E additionally gets a per-arch owner (SM100a: 4-stage K ring; SM103a: new 8-slot K/PV ring body). E rows −2.7..−3.7 us (GB300) / −2.3..−2.5 us (B200); F rows −0.4..−0.5 us; B S=3 rows −0.65..−0.70 us. - **FP8/H64 single-CTA SWA programs, class K1 (11 rows):** 256-bit O stores in the lane-per-row epilogue, −0.06..−0.27 us. - **BF16 one-tile SWA programs, classes A / D / G (17 rows) + the H32 retained-KV and H8/H16 guards decode programs (SM103a):** tensor maps passed by value (`__grid_constant__`) instead of through a pointer, −0.26..−1.03 us per row (−4.6..−9.0 % on A/D/G). - **FP8/H64 wide one-partition programs, class K4 (2 rows):** third 32 KiB K stage, −0.06..−0.16 us. - **FP8/H128 persistent programs, classes K2 / L (33 rows, SM103a):** epilogue TMEM load-ahead of 4, −0.6..−3.3 % on the H128 rows. - **BF16/H128 striped prefill programs, class M (7 rows):** V rows issued ahead (LDS order only), −1.5..−4.7 % (B200), −0.3..−1.6 % (GB300). - **BF16 H8/H16 decode programs, class H (8 rows, SM100a):** the never-read padded gather rows of the last item are skipped, −0.45..−1.02 us on the padded rows. - Every other program is a byte-identical regeneration (renamed for the new producer revision). ## Validation Exports of the regenerated programs as published here (B200: export r16; GB300: export r17, both from Cake tree `939659882ba` against a fresh clone of #5686's `10c80d75b`), same-session paired CUPTI (active-union median, cold L2) against the default trtllm-gen path at the same revision: | | GB300 (sm_103a) | B200 (sm_100a) | |---|---|---| | 94 canonical + 40 hardening shapes correct (BF16 atol=rtol=1e-2, FP8 0.1; padded / separate-table / offset axes) | 134/134 correct; 134/134 export gates | 134/134 correct; 134/134 export gates (decode-000002 and hardening-000036 in a second measurement round, see doc § Gate table) | | **94 canonical rows faster than the default path** | 94/94 > 1, geomean **1.411x**, min 1.116x (#5686: 1.370x, min 1.129x) | 94/94 > 1, geomean **1.352x**, min 1.075x (#5686: 1.356x, min 1.103x) | | 40 hardening rows faster than the default path | 40/40 > 1, geomean **1.390x**, min 1.092x (#5686: 1.385x, min 1.096x) | 40/40 > 1, geomean **1.354x**, min 1.085x (#5686: 1.333x, min 1.045x) | | output bit-identical to the #5686 programs on every changed row | yes (92 changed rows) | yes (48 changed rows) | | compute-sanitizer synccheck + memcheck on the changed kernels | 0 errors | 0 errors | | `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4*.py` (GPU, fresh clone of this commit) | 296 passed, 0 failed | 296 passed, 0 failed | ## Baselines and their source PRs - **trtllm-gen default path** = `trtllm_batch_decode_sparse_mla_dsv4(...)` without `backend="cake"` (the TRTLLM-GEN DSv4 sparse-MLA kernels plus the framework launches it needs for equal semantics: padded-Q masking, separate-table merge, workspace/counter handling).

Summary
Round-5 performance of the
backend="cake"DeepSeek-V4 sparse-MLA decode path oftrtllm_batch_decode_sparse_mla_dsv4(SM100a / SM103a), regenerated from the same producer pipeline as #5644, plus one host-side binding line. Every regenerated program computes
bit-identical output to its #5644 predecessor: this round only re-times data movement and epilogues, with no change to the arithmetic.

flashinfer/mla/cake_dsv4.py, first commit of this branch): the FP8 persistent bodies now store O through a TMA descriptor(
tmap_o);_TMA_SOURCE_ALIASESbinds it to the same[tokens, heads, 512]output rows the plainOargument sees. Without it everyFP8 launch on those routes raised "argument 'tmap_o' (tma_buffer) has no host value" (28 failures in the hardening tests on the
regenerated programs alone).
test_registered_arg_plans_use_known_namesnow also requires every TMA descriptor to alias a tensor thehost actually places in its value table, so a vocabulary-only match cannot pass again.
