Developed by the CAKE team, the kernels in this PR outperform the relevant SOTA baselines at the time of merge on the vast majority of performance benchmark shapes, matching them otherwise.

Summary

Round-8 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 #5728 and stacked on its head (5ee5417). No host change. Round 8 keeps the
precision level of every program (same tolerances, same or higher-precision intermediates); one program changes output bits: the FP8/H64 wide
one-partition family now runs whole 128-key tiles per cluster CTA with an f32 end merge (the same grouping #5728 introduced for the cluster family).
Every other regenerated program computes the same bits as #5728; 5 of their sources are byte-identical and 14 differ only by redundant parentheses around the two arms of one pointer-select statement (a pretty-printer change in the producer, e.g. c ? (a + b) : (d + e) vs c ? a + b : d + e).

  • FP8/H64 wide one-partition, class K4: whole-tile form with the whole-tile-aware no-LSE epilogue, −0.8..−0.9 us per row (1.24x / 1.30x vs the default path, up from 1.11x / 1.23x).
  • FP8/H64 single-CTA SWA, class K1 (11 rows): row max through tcgen05.ld.red.max on SM103a, full-tile fast max on SM100a, −0.45..−0.83 us per row.
  • BF16/FP8 H8/H16 decode, classes H / I (16 rows): index-row L2 prefetch in the cold prologue, −0.10..−0.26 us per row on both arches.
  • BF16 one-tile SWA chain, classes A / D / G43: K stage-0 gather issued before the index barrier, −0.03..−0.10 us per row.
  • Every other program is a regeneration with identical semantics (renamed for the new producer revision; 14 sources carry the redundant-parentheses pretty-printer change above, 5 are byte-identical).

Validation

5ee5417), same-session paired CUPTI (active-union median, cold L2) against the default trtllm-gen path at the same revision:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request refreshes generated CAKE DSV4 kernels and registrations for SM100a and SM103a. It changes launch bindings, kernel output and page-loading paths, and JIT metadata. Some variants add TMA output stores or per-CTA KV processing.

Changes

CAKE DSV4 kernel and registration refresh

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generated binding and registration updates
csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/*_binding.cu, csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/*_binding.cu, flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py
Generated kernel, host-shim, and family identifiers are updated. Several bindings use cudaLaunchKernel in place of the extended launch path. JIT registrations update variant identities, source names, routes, and split-kernel signatures.
Kernel output and pipeline changes
csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/*_kernel.cu, csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/*_kernel.cu
Some kernels change output packing and stores, preload the first K stage, or move query loads. Several variants pass output through a TMA descriptor, stage BF16 output in shared memory, and coordinate buffer reuse with a barrier.
Sparse-page loading and CTA work distribution
csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/*_kernel.cu, csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/*_kernel.cu
Some loaders prefetch sparse indices into L2 and limit participating loader ranks based on valid rows. Two kernels replace a cooperative two-CTA pipeline with alternating per-CTA tile processing and peer merging.
TVM-FFI launcher and removed binding
csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_e9d1e5f9339f9ee2f5f7_binding.cu, csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_e9d1e5f9339f9ee2f5f7_kernel.cu, csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_3e5a644d61420c9c7ea1_binding.cu
A TVM-FFI launcher adds tensor validation, TMA descriptor construction, shared-memory setup, and kernel launch. The previous generated binding file is deleted.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to acd20

The refreshed SM103a FP8 low-head decode kernel can exit a CTA while its peer is still reading that CTA's shared memory, which can corrupt merged output. The new TMA-based output paths also do not check that the output buffer is large enough for the descriptor. Add a final cluster barrier and output-capacity checks before merging.

2201-2207: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Bound the second prefetch tile by the compressed row width.

For pf_col >= 128, the prefetch address is compressed_indices + query_idx_3 * compressed_index_stride + (pf_col - 128). The guard checks only pf_col < sparse_topk. If sparse_topk - 128 exceeds compressed_index_stride, the address falls past the row. The address can also fall past the allocation for the last query. prefetch.global.L2 does not fault, so the only effect is wasted bandwidth. Guard on the row bound instead.

Proposed fix
-                        if (pf_col < sparse_topk) { asm volatile("prefetch.global.L2 [%0];" :: "l"((uint64_t)(pf_src))); }
+                        bool pf_ok = (pf_col < 128) ? (pf_col < sparse_topk)
+                                                    : (pf_col < sparse_topk && (pf_col - 128) < compressed_index_stride);
+                        if (pf_ok) { asm volatile("prefetch.global.L2 [%0];" :: "l"((uint64_t)(pf_src))); }

2201 - 2207:
Update the prefetch guard in the pf_tile loop so compressed_indices is
prefetched only when pf_col is below sparse_topk and its row-relative index,
pf_col - 128, is below compressed_index_stride; preserve the existing sparse-row
bound for pf_col values below 128.

Check the TMA target capacity before encoding O.

The three descriptors cover num_query_tokens * num_heads * split_count * 512 BF16 elements. The family dispatches pass arg_partial_O as the descriptor target, and the bindings validate dtype and contiguity but not capacity. The kernel stores use the split and token-head coordinates, so an undersized target can receive out-of-bounds writes.

Validate the O shape before encoding the hardcoded 4D descriptor.

EncodeTma_O builds global_dim = {64, 8, 5, num_query_tokens * num_heads}. It checks only ndim >= 1 and unit innermost stride. It does not check that arg_O holds num_query_tokens * num_heads * 5 * 512 elements. The previous pointer path had the same risk, but the new descriptor fixes the extent from scalar arguments and not from the tensor. If a caller passes a smaller O, or passes num_heads/num_query_tokens larger than the buffer, the TMA store writes out of bounds. Add a numel check against the resolved extent.

Update EncodeTma_O to validate that t.numel() covers the full extent described
by its hardcoded global dimensions before encoding the descriptor. Derive the
required element count from tp_num_query_tokens, tp_num_heads, and the fixed
dimensions, and reject smaller tensors; ensure the extent calculation cannot
overflow.

🌐 Web query:

PTX cp.async.bulk shared::cluster source shared memory CTA exit distributed shared memory lifetime cluster barrier required

💡 Result:

**Yes—there are two separate ordering/lifetime issues:**

- `cp.async.bulk.shared::cluster.shared::cta` is a **CTA-to-remote-CTA** copy: PTX requires the destination to be in a *different CTA’s* shared memory within the cluster. The copy is asynchronous and uses an `mbarrier` completion mechanism, so wait for that transfer to complete before consuming the destination data. ([docs.nvidia.com](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/?utm_source=openai))
- A CTA’s shared memory remains valid only while that CTA is alive. CUDA’s DSMEM guidance says all distributed shared-memory operations must finish before a block exits; otherwise another CTA could still be accessing memory whose owning block has exited. ([docs.nvidia.com](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-programming-guide/02-basics/writing-cuda-kernels.html))
- Therefore, if other CTAs might still access a CTA’s shared memory, use a **cluster-wide synchronization before any CTA exits**. This is a lifetime-safety barrier, distinct from the `mbarrier` that tracks completion of the async copy. CUDA’s DSMEM example explicitly synchronizes after remote accesses for this reason. ([docs.nvidia.com](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-programming-guide/02-basics/writing-cuda-kernels.html))

In short: **wait on the copy’s `mbarrier`, then ensure remote DSMEM users are done before the owner CTA exits**—often with a cluster barrier. The barrier is needed when remote accesses may still be outstanding; it is not a substitute for waiting on the async-copy completion mechanism.

Add a cluster barrier before CTA exit. The peer merge copy can still read source DSMEM.

The outbound cp.async.bulk.shared::cluster.shared::cta operations use the issuing CTA's shared memory as the source. Waiting on the local merge_full barrier only confirms the peer's inbound copy. It does not confirm that the issuing CTA's outbound copy has finished reading its source.

If a CTA exits while its peer still reads that source DSMEM, the peer can receive corrupted merge data. Add a cluster-wide barrier after cleanup so every CTA remains alive until all remote DSMEM accesses finish.

Validate the TMA output buffer O capacity.

EncodeTma_O encodes arg_O, not partial_O. The descriptor covers 2560 * num_query_tokens * num_heads BF16 elements in family 76 and 2048 * num_query_tokens * num_heads in family ae. The linked kernels use this descriptor for tma_store_4d, so an undersized O can receive out-of-bounds stores.

Suggested fix
   TVM_FFI_CHECK(global_dim[0] > 0 && global_dim[1] > 0 && global_dim[2] > 0 && global_dim[3] > 0, ValueError)
       << "TMA descriptor for 'O' resolved a non-positive global dim";
+  uint64_t required_numel = global_dim[0] * global_dim[1] * global_dim[2] * global_dim[3];
+  TVM_FFI_CHECK(static_cast<uint64_t>(t.numel()) >= required_numel, ValueError)
+      << "TMA source 'O' has insufficient capacity: need " << required_numel
+      << " elements, got " << t.numel();
   TVM_FFI_CHECK(64u <= global_dim[0] && 1u <= global_dim[1] && 1u <= global_dim[2] && 32u <= global_dim[3], ValueError)

Apply this in both EncodeTma_O implementations.

[SUCCESS] Pipeline #70712453: 25/25 executed test jobs passed

yyihuang added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 3, 2026
…0/SM103: one launcher-helper header, shared split-merge reducers, data-only loader, route rejections up front (#5920)

> Developed by the **CAKE team**, the kernels in this PR **outperform**
the relevant **SOTA baselines at the time of merge** on the **vast
majority of performance benchmark shapes**, matching them otherwise.

Closes #5794

## What changes

`csrc/cake_dsv4` goes from 111 files to 98 and the loader from 2,643 to
888 lines without changing a single compiled
kernel: every kernel body of the two targets is byte-identical before
and after (SASS equivalence, 25 == 25 per architecture).

- **Program layer removed.** The 10 `cake_dsv4_family_*_binding.cu` host
libraries and the matching `programs` half of the
registry only re-dispatched to the per-variant launchers that the Python
host already calls directly. `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py`
is now a data-only registry (`_ARCH_REGISTRATIONS`) plus
`get_cake_dsv4_spec` / `gen_cake_dsv4_module` / `get_cake_dsv4_module`;
the 14 distinct argument plans are named constants instead of 50 inlined
copies. JIT spec names, module names and import paths are
  unchanged.
- **Identical kernels shared.** The two sm_103a reducers that are
byte-identical to their sm_100a counterparts apart from the hash
in the symbol (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`) now live
once under `csrc/cake_dsv4/common/`; sm_103a's hash-named
`split_reduce_cake_dsv4_*` registry keys become `split_reduce` and
`bf16_h128_split5_reduce`.
- **One helper header.** The device-guard / contiguity / dtype /
dense-fold checks and the SM103 descriptor-slab preparation that
were copied into all 48 variant bindings are extracted verbatim into
`cake_dsv4_host_shim.h`; each binding keeps only its kernel
  declaration and launcher. The unused SM-count helper is dropped.
- **Descriptor storage follows the descriptor set, from a bounded
pool.** The sm_103a bindings that read their TMA descriptors
from device memory take host-retained storage per descriptor set. The
host used to carve that storage from the caller's
workspace, so the second call through one workspace with another KV
cache (consecutive layers) failed with
`immutable TMA descriptors changed; provide new private descriptor
storage`; the new GPU test reproduces this on the
unmodified base tree. The host now keeps a bounded pool of private 1 KiB
storages per (variant, device), keyed by the TMA
source geometry (pointer, shape, strides, dtype of `Q` and the KV
caches): a recent set reuses its storage, a new set takes a
free or the least recently used one (the binding rewrites a reassigned
storage in stream order before the launch), sets
launched under CUDA Graph capture are retained for the process lifetime
so replays read what they captured, and a capture
that reaches a set never launched eagerly raises before any allocation.
Pool bookkeeping, the binding's descriptor check and
the launch enqueue run under one lock. The workspace layout and
`get_cake_dsv4_workspace_bytes` are unchanged (the former
  slab region stays reserved).
- **Two-stage routes launch from one FFI call.** The dispatcher binds
the producer and the reducer of a two-stage route first and
issues both through the host-only helper `run_sequence`
(`csrc/cake_dsv4/cake_dsv4_launch_sequence.cc`), so no host work sits
between the two kernels; a paired CUPTI A/B against the base (30 shapes
per architecture, interleaved rounds, same inputs)
shows every row >= 0.986 and geomean 1.03 (B200) / 1.09 (GB300) with
bitwise-equal outputs.
- **Rejections up front.** `_route` now raises
`ValueError("backend='cake' has no ... kernel ...")` for the shapes that
previously
reached `_dispatch_route` and failed at launch time (FP8 rows with
`sparse_topk > 384` below `max_q_len 257`, BF16 compressed
caches outside the covered ragged rows, BF16 H128 with `sparse_topk <
64`). `_route` no longer takes `arch`; the two targets have
the same route table. Launching through a variant no longer depends on
the deleted program path or on a per-call stream pointer.
- **Tests.** `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4.py`: the per-arch route loops
collapse, the rejected shapes are asserted as `ValueError`,
two launch-recording tests pin the split-4 / row-first and split-5 +
reducer owner sets, and
`test_every_route_result_has_a_registered_kernel` sweeps every route
result against the registry.
`tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_hardening.py` gains
`test_same_workspace_serves_different_kv_caches`, a GPU test that issues
two
different KV caches (then the first again) through one workspace on the
SM103 descriptor-storage routes and checks the outputs
  against the reference each time (fails on the base tree, see above).
- The direct launch of the split-5 reducer uses the per-target grid its
former program library used: `(tokens, heads / 4, 1)` on
  sm_103a, `(tokens, heads, 1)` on sm_100a; the launch test pins both.

## Not in this PR (follow-ups on #5794)

Template parameters across the per-variant kernels, a by-value
descriptor ABI on both targets (which would remove the retained
descriptor storage), and merging the remaining near-duplicate
SM100/SM103 kernels require regenerating the family from its
producer; they are tracked on the issue with the reason. The open DSv4
round PRs (#5728, #5742, #5845, #5854, #5879) touch the
same generated files; the cleanup is scripted so it can be re-applied on
top of them (see the issue).

Notes: the `*_source_exact` variants stay shape-locked and are only
reached for their recorded shapes; `csrc/cake_dsv4/` is
excluded from the pre-commit hooks as a generated artifact directory, so
the rewritten bindings keep the generated text and only
the new shared header is clang-formatted.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* CAKE DSv4 now launches registered kernels directly and sequences
multi-kernel operations.
* Improved TMA descriptor reuse across launches, devices, and CUDA Graph
captures. Captured launches require descriptors to have been initialized
eagerly.
* Added usage guidance for supported BF16 and FP8 E4M3 inputs, output
format, and backend selection.
* **Behavior Changes**
* Dispatch now rejects unsupported shape and routing combinations
instead of selecting a kernel.
* Programmatic dependent launches and the TRTLLM-GEN RopeQuant epilogue
are unsupported.

Closing: superseded. Per the owner's decision (2026-10-04), the Cake DSv4 sparse-MLA exporter is being taught the #5920 layout and the round 7–17 programs will be re-exported onto current main as one cumulative perf(cake_sparse_mla) PR from fork yyihuang (tracker #4254 § Sparse MLA DSV4). The per-round measurements and design docs referenced here remain the evidence of record (Cake MRs !1037–!1193).

…SM100/SM103 on the #5920 layout (cumulative) (#6045)

## Summary

Rounds 7-17 of the DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend (`backend="cake"`, SM100
+ SM103) as one cumulative change on the #5920 layout (per-variant
bindings taking their checks from `tvm_ffi_utils.h`, shared sources
under `common/`, `run_sequence`, the host's direct variant launches).
Main carries round 6 (#5700) for this family; the eight per-round PRs
stacked on it (#5728, #5742, #5845, #5854, #5879, #5946, #5973, #5999)
and the held round 15-17 fork branches were closed in favour of this PR.
Programs: whole-family regeneration of the `cake_dsv4` sources from Cake
!1037's tree (the round-17 kernel tree `c7284461b47` merged into Cake
main, rendered by main's codegen) for sm_103a and sm_100a through the
exporter's #5920-layout path, replacing the round-6 sources. Host: the
four round 11-14 host changes re-expressed on main's host (descriptor
pool and `run_sequence` unchanged), plus the round tests ported onto
main's collapsed tests.

Numerics rule (every round): no precision-level change anywhere (same
tolerances, same or higher-precision intermediates). Rounds that change
output bits are called out below; every other program is bit-identical
to its predecessor (NaN-poisoned bit compare on the measured cells).

### What changed per round

- Round 7 ([Cake
!1037](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1037),
was #5728): FP8/H64 single-CTA SWA (class K1): single-pass softmax with
the TMEM-alias correctness fix (Q x400 over-tolerance elements
398..64359 -> 0) and softmax warps helping the first K-tile gather,
-0.7..-0.85 us per row; FP8/H64 cluster / wide one-partition: V4 gather
owner, whole 128-key tile per cluster CTA with an f32 end merge over
DSMEM (bits change by merge grouping), -0.13..-0.70 us; H8/H16 decode:
loader warps skip the padded gather rows, up to -1.6 us.
- Round 8 ([Cake
!1043](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1043),
was #5742): FP8/H64 wide one-partition in the whole-tile form with the
no-LSE epilogue, -0.8..-0.9 us per row (bits change by merge grouping);
K1 row max through `tcgen05.ld.red.max` on SM103a / full-tile fast max
on SM100a, -0.45..-0.83 us; H8/H16 index-row L2 prefetch, -0.10..-0.26
us; BF16 one-tile SWA chain K stage-0 gather before the index barrier,
-0.03..-0.10 us.
- Round 9 ([Cake
!1061](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1061),
was #5845): six bit-identical levers: coalesced final-O epilogue of the
fp8 H64 M64 persistent body (-7..-18 % on the six M64 rows), K4
first-tile gather split across the three warp roles (-2.5..-2.7 %), bf16
H64 guard by-value TMA descriptor ABI on sm_103a, K1 8-warp O epilogue
drain, H/I SwapsAb page pair 0 from page-loader registers, class-O fp8
H64 5-slot KV ring (-12 % / -7..-9 %).
- Round 10 ([Cake
!1066](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1066),
was #5854): bit-identical: class-O fp8 H64 split O-accumulator handshake
+ six-slot K ring with early Q release (-8..-10 %), bf16 H64 guard
mask-flag pre-decode + transposed O store (-3.1..-4.1 %), H/I SwapsAb
index-row L2 prefetch on sm_103a; the h8/h16 bindings gain the
`num_query_tokens` scalar the host already passes by name.
- Round 11 ([Cake
!1085](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1085),
was #5879): seven bit-identical levers (fp8 H64 M64 gated box-TMA K
gather + per-stage O split credit; fp8 K4 last-tile key split; fp8 H128
persistent epilogue load-ahead-4 on sm_100a + deferred staging wait;
bf16 H128 row-first elected multi-warp gather issue; bf16 H64 guard
class-conditional gather4 issue) plus three contract-identical
correctness fixes (split-FP8 P stage 1024 B-aligned at SMEM 175104 in
the K4 / M64 / fp8 H128 persistent programs; guarded 16 B vector loads
in the top-k index producers). **Host:** `out=None` is allocated in
`run_cake_dsv4` after routing and placed at `base % 4 KiB == 0x800` on
the six routes where the phase law was measured
(`allocate_cake_dsv4_output`, `cake_dsv4_out_phase`, `out_shape`);
caller-provided `out` and the other routes are unchanged. New
`tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_out_placement.py`.
- Round 12 ([Cake
!1126](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1126),
was #5946): bf16 H128 row-first / prefill O epilogue `tcgen05.wait::ld`
per 32-column TMEM load (-1.4..-6.0 %); bf16 H32 top-k mixed-pool split
assignment (re-associates f32 partials by split geometry, strictly more
precise: cells > 1 ulp vs fp32 118.8k -> ~630) and active_topk mask
before the s_full wait (-3.5..-5.2 %); fp8 K4 wide quarter-tile tail +
helper-correction readback pre-issue (-2.0..-4.1 %); **Host:** the fp8
H64 M64 body is two exported programs selected by the item width in
`_route` (`_fp8_h64_m64_program`:
`fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64` for `sparse_topk == 128`,
`..._m64_multi_tile` otherwise; same ABI, same bits).
- Round 13 ([Cake
!1152](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1152),
was #5973): bit-identical: **Host + program:** bf16 H128 row-first rows
with 17-37 tokens run the new `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit`
program (two 2-CTA clusters per token gathering only their N256 V half;
grid 4 x tokens; `_BF16_ROW_FIRST_V_HALF_SPLIT_MAX_TOKENS = 37`),
hardening-000025 -8.4 % GB300 / -7.8 % B200; fp8 K4 whole-tile `st.async
... complete_tx` peer O push + four-stage chunked merge (-0.70..-0.74
us); fp8 H64 M64 multi-tile next-item Q TMA after the CLC response
(-0.4..-1.5 %); fp8 H128 persistent partial-o accumulation before the
final `o_full` wait (-0.3..-1.1 %).
- Round 14 ([Cake
!1168](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1168),
was #5999): bit-identical: bf16 H128 row-first (owner + vsplit) index
warp issues its nine index loads before the nine `st.shared` passes
(-5.0..-6.6 %); bf16 H64 guard program stores O through a TMA tensor map
from per-warp staging (-0.9..-3.5 %) -- **Host:** the explicit `"O":
"O"` entry in `_TMA_SOURCE_ALIASES` so the guard binding's
`("tma_buffer", "O")` resolves; fp8 H128 persistent two-box pipelined
epilogue drain on sm_103a.
- Round 15 ([Cake
!1177](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1177),
held on the layout decision): bit-identical: the two-box pipelined
epilogue drain becomes the default for the sm_100a fp8 H128 lane-gather
variant (>= 128 work items); no host change.
- Round 16 ([Cake
!1182](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1182),
held): bit-identical: fp8 H64 M64 multi-tile softmax -1 ballot hoisted
above the `s_full` join (-0.22..-0.56 us); bf16 H64 guard O store split
per V stage so the stage-0 O drain overlaps PV1 (-0.19..-0.35 us); no
host change.
- Round 17 ([Cake
!1186](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1186),
held): bit-identical: bf16 H128 row-first programs (owner + vsplit)
hoist the swa / compressed V table select out of the four elected gather
groups (hardening-000025 -0.593 us GB300 / -0.800 us B200,
hardening-000031 -0.160 / -0.751 us); no host change. Round 18 ([Cake
!1193](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1193))
shipped no program change (ledger only).

### Layout (#5920) notes

- Per-arch registry schema unchanged: arch-prefixed `sources`,
`arg_plan` as `_PLAN_<LABEL> [+ _SLAB] + _GRID`, `tma_workspace_bytes`
only where non-zero, reducers shared through `common/` where both
architectures compile the same kernel (`split_reduce`,
`bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`); the split-5 reducers stay per-arch under
the one key `bf16_h128_split5_reduce` (sm_103a grid `(tokens, heads / 4,
1)`, sm_100a `(tokens, heads, 1)`, as main's launch test pins).
- Two new variant keys per architecture:
`bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit`,
`fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64_multi_tile` (27 variants per
arch).
- No family bindings; two-stage routes go through `run_sequence`; the
host's descriptor pool is untouched.

### Variant / file diff vs main `a12173ca0`

- Per-arch registrations: 27 variants each (main had 25): new keys
`bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit` (round 13, host-routed for
17-37-token rows) and `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64_multi_tile`
(round 12). Loader `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py`: data-only edits
(registrations, plan/grid constants, source lists); loader functions and
`__all__` untouched.
- Files: `common/` 30 (4 before), `sm_100a/` 24 (46 before), `sm_103a/`
24 (46 before); `sm_120a/` and every other family untouched. Diff vs
main: 107 files, +17906 / -62404.
- Fold disclosure: the exporter serves a variant from `common/` when its
kernel + binding sources are byte-identical on both architectures modulo
hash tokens. With the rounds 7-18 kernel tree rendered by current Cake
main codegen, 15 of the 27 variants fold (bf16_h128_swa128,
bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first, …_vsplit, bf16_h128_topk128x_split4_sm100,
bf16_h16_h32_swa128_v44, bf16_h32_topk128x_early_v47,
bf16_h64_compressed_q8_v38, bf16_h64_compressed_reduce,
bf16_h64_guard_q_tma_batch_r25, bf16_h64_prefill,
fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64, …_m64_multi_tile,
fp8_h64_source_exact, fp8_lowhead_h64, split_reduce); 12 stay per-arch.
Each architecture still compiles its own module from the shared source.
- Host: the six host/test commits below the export commits port the
rounds 13-17 host changes (vsplit route, descriptor-pool and
`run_sequence` plumbing, output-placement test) onto the #5920 host;
`cake_dsv4_host_shim.h` is unreferenced by the regenerated bindings and
left in place.

## Validation

Both architectures measured on the exported programs of this branch
(GB300 = sm_103a commit `08d1c3c8`, whose sm_103a sources are
byte-identical modulo hash tokens to this head; B200 = this head
`4146373e`). Baseline = FlashInfer trtllm-gen default path of the same
clone. Paired CUPTI sweeps (cold L2, active-union median), same-process;
same-GPU ABBA = legs A1 B1 B2 A2 on one GPU, A = this branch, B = the
round-17 fork head `dbf86c4d6` (quantum q = 0.032 us).

19, measured on another GB300 node): **not a codegen or ABI effect**.
The non-ABI text differences compile to byte-identical SASS on sm_103a
(128 regs / 0 spills in every form); A-vs-B replications flip sign
between fresh processes of the same install; repeat sampling (5
alternating fresh A/B processes x 3 GPUs) gives this head 6.807 us vs
round 17 6.803 us (0.1 q). The kernel (`fp8_h16_source_exact`) has two
placement-dependent timing modes ~0.3 us apart that both exports reach;
the round-18 cell caught the two installs in different modes. Programs

A2 have |A1 - B1|, |A1 - B2| <= 0.09 us (h017 -0.09 us = faster); no row

**no row above +2 %**; decode-000056 (the GB300 +5.4 % row) is 6.690 us

ABI in round 17, consistent with the GB300 cell being a sampling
artefact (see the GB300 column) |

`test_cuda_graph_replay_matches_eager[h32-fp8-q1]` at "eager call

7/8 rows 0 errors; 705/705 |

Cross-node note: the sweep medians of this run are not comparable to the
round-17 PR numbers (different nodes / clock regime: on GB300 both Cake
and trtllm-gen moved +5.0 % / +3.0 % geomean vs the round-17 sweep); the
same-GPU ABBA row above is the valid round-over-round comparison.

## Baselines and their source PRs

- trtllm-gen default path: FlashInfer main as of `a12173ca0` (this
branch's base; the DSv4 trtllm-gen MLA path is unchanged since
`c4cb63534`, the #5879 head: the only commit touching the MLA dispatch
files since then is #5983, which adds an SM120 source to
`flashinfer/jit/mla.py`; #5854, #5845, #5742, #5728, #5700 before it).
- Cake round 17: fork branch `cake-772-dsv4-round17` (`dbf86c4d6`, held
on the #5920 layout decision); round 16: `cake-772-dsv4-round16`
(`45c0b819c`, held); round 15: `cake-772-dsv4-round15` (`1a91f12a9`,
held); round 14: #5999 (`e2f7310ee`); round 13: #5973; round 12: #5946;
round 11: #5879; round 10: #5854; round 9: #5845; round 8: #5742; round
7: #5728; round 6 and before: #5700 and the tracker's earlier PRs.
- Round 18 (Cake !1193) changed no program: the exported programs here
are the round-17 kernel tree `c7284461b47` as merged into Cake main
(!1037 head `f3108393953`), rendered on the #5920 layout by the exporter
(main's codegen since the round-17 base changes every generated
program's text — dead-helper pruning, grid_constant tensor maps,
`__shfl_sync`, launch-bounds macro — without touching the kernel
schedules); the pre-export source-vs-export agreement for the sm_103a
build-gap row (hardening-000031) is in the round-18 Cake doc.

- Tracker: flashinfer#4254 (DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend; this PR
supersedes the round 7-14 PRs listed above and the held round 15-17 fork
branches `cake-772-dsv4-round15` `1a91f12a9`, `cake-772-dsv4-round16`
`45c0b819c`, `cake-772-dsv4-round17` `dbf86c4d6`).
